Chapter 1397'What would he do if he knew it was a scam?'"Uh...It's getting stuffy in here. I'm going out for some air." As soon as Brad saw his mother coming, he winked at her secretly, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed to leave.Luke stood up to follow.Brad pointed to the next ward, "Daddy, I'm going to spend some time alone with a friend in the next room. Wait here. I'll be right back. Okay?"Brad had no qualms when he lied, "He had lost all his hair. He thinks he looks ugly. If people see him like this, he will cry."Hearing this, Luke frowned and did not follow.He knew Brad would be happy to have friends playing with him at times like this.Then Brad moved towards the door. When he closed the door, he mouthed his mother, "Go ahead!"Brad had done his part. The rest was up to his mom!Luke took out his phone and called the Athana hospital again, "Where are you? You haven't left yet? What are you waiting for? Listen, if you can't arrive here on time, you'll be fired!"
Chapter 1398Eileen said, "I can call Ruben and ask him to come here to explain everything to you. Don't you know me well?"Luke stared at her and said, "Didn't you say that you were willing to marry him for repaying him and the sense of guilt?"She nodded, "I said so indeed! I said that on purpose because I wanted to deceive you! I'm a human, not a stone. After you did so many things for me, how could I hurt your heart? How could I choose to marry Ruben at such a time? Didn't you feel that it was too sudden?"Luke said, "If one falls in love, it's not surprising whatever one does."Luke's heart beat fast. What she had said took him by surprise. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.Eileen felt helpless.Luke's gaze became deep and meaningful gradually. He became serious and said, "So you deceived me in such a way?"Eileen said, "I knew that you hated being deceived and Merlin's disease was your taboo, but I had no other choice! I deceived you. You believed and left deci
Chapter 1399Eileen thought about it. 'Sherman is right.'Eileen hung up. The sadness and dissatisfaction were erased from her mind. She sneered.'I have felt wrong for eight years while he has just experienced it for several months. I'm still angry with him. How dare he want me to go to the airport to stop him?''I have given him an out, but he even wants to swim all over me!''Does he think that I'm the same as before?''I ask him to stay not because I want to rekindle the romance but because I can't take care of Brad anymore.''Even if he will leave tomorrow, I won't stop him.''I will tell him my condition and ask him to take care of Brad. Then I will have nothing to worry about.'That night, Luke called Kingsley to drink.At 9 p.m., Kingsley hadn't arrived yet. Luke had arrived first. The table in front of him was filled with wine. He beamed with pleasure.Kingsley arrived and sat opposite Luke. Kingsley asked, "Why are you so happy today?"Luke said, "I'm very happy..
Chapter 1400Hearing that, Sherman burst into laughter and couldn't wait to call Eileen.Kingsley stopped her.It was 3 a.m. Eileen must have fallen asleep.The next morning.When Eileen was eating breakfast, her phone rang. She answered the phone.Sherman said on the phone, "Luke had a chat with Kingsley last night. Luke said that he wouldn't forgive you until you went to the airport to stop him and express your feelings to him."Hearing that, Eileen sneered and didn't bother to know more about it. She just asked, "Are you available at noon?"Sherman asked, "What do you want?"Eileen said, "I know a new restaurant. Brad would like to have a try. Let's go there together."Sherman agreed immediately, "OK."In the restroom, Brad was talking on the phone with Luke. Luke said, "You are becoming a skillful liar."Brad said, "I learn it from you!"Brad shifted responsibility and said, "As for pretending to be sick, I also learn it from you."Luke criticized, "Why do you learn c
Chapter 1401"Sherman is shopping with Eileen. They are going to have coffee and lunch. Eileen has a blind date today."Luke's brow furrowed. His Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn't believe that. "Didn't she mention me?""Yes."Kingsley suddenly remembered something.Luke's face softened as he heard this. "What did she say?""Eileen said she had made it clear to you yesterday, but you didn't accept. That means rejection. You want to leave, and she has no right to stop you and can't stop you. She's afraid that she can't make you change your mind even if she wants to, so she has decided to give up."Luke's face turned cold when he heard this.He curled his thin lips and cursed, "Damn it! This woman has no perseverance at all! Where there's a will, there's a way. She doesn't even have the persistence. How can she succeed?"He turned back while pulling his suitcase and walked towards the exit of the airport.Kingsley's eyes were full of amusement, but he held back his laughter, foll
Chapter 1402Luke frowned, at a loss what to say, stammering, "Well... Um..."Eileen ignored him and turned her back on him."It's all my fault! I didn't mean to say that yesterday. I'm so happy. I just want you to care about me so that I can be relieved. Don't be angry with me, OK?" He could do nothing but try to please her with sweet words. The others were shocked to see him grovel.This was different from the plot he had expected. It could be described as a sharp turn.Sherman's shoulders couldn't stop shaking. She just couldn't stand it!Why didn't this man treasure the chance? He refused Eileen but now came to apologize. What a fool!Sherman wanted to laugh but she fought it back. Her stomach hurt!Eileen still didn't look at him, facing the window indifferently.Brad looked on with interest, suggesting, "Dad, tell Mom how much you love her. I saw the heroes do that in TV dramas."Luke's face stiffened. He then went down on one knee and said, "I owe a woman too much, a
Chapter 1403Her chest heaved.Suddenly, she had an impulse to give in, but she knew she couldn't."Do you know why I tricked you into coming back?" she asked, pushing him away."Because Brad can't leave his father. You told me that."Eileen said, "That's just one of the reasons. There's another one."Luke's heart pounded as he asked, "What do you mean?"He thought, 'She must have found that she can't live without me and that how good I am. She wants to make up with me.'"I have cancer."Eileen said slowly, "It's in the middle stage, so you have to come back and take care of Brad. I don't have the energy to take care of him anymore."Luke raised his eyebrows. "I already promised you that I will stay, and you're still tricking me?"Eileen looked at him.Luke didn't believe that she had cancer.After a moment of hesitation and a slight frown, she mustered up the courage to take off her wig.Instantly, Luke froze, thunderstruck.After a while, he regained his composure, his
Chapter 1404To be honest, a good-looking person always fitted in well with any style.With a shaven head, he looked dangerous, attractive, and refreshing."It's up to me."Sitting by the bed, Luke looked at her deeply and said word by word, "Don't worry. I won't let you die." "You're my woman. I'll protect you! Even Death can't take you away from me!"Eileen's emotions were churning as she heard this.From the moment she was diagnosed, she had forced herself to be strong and calm.Because she knew that she could only rely on herself.Yet now, hearing his words, her mental armor broke, revealing her weakness."Three top medical teams will come over from different countries this afternoon. Prepare yourself. It's a tough battle, but we'll win."Luke stared fixedly at her. "The medical professors will come every day. You'll have a hard time, but I'll always be with you."Eileen's lips moved. As she was about to speak, she was hugged by him.The hug was warm like a sturdy wal
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
