Chapter 1665A few moments later, Charlie stood up and spoke, "Keep waiting. I'm out of here."Bella looked up dully, staring at him in bewilderment and disbelief."She was not my family. I sent her to the hospital out of my kindness, but I do not have the obligation and responsibility to stay here with you. Do you understand? She's not my family, and neither are you. I just cannot bear to watch someone die in front of me," Charlie said coldly.Bella couldn't help trembling. She had never expected him to say such words.He was so cruel and indifferent."Please stay with me... I'm so scared..." Bella tugged his arm with pleading eyes.She hated hospitals and the feeling of waiting. She did not know whether her mother would be alive or dead, which made her so scared and annoyed. She wanted someone to stay by her side right here. "Remember, I'm not your boyfriend or even your husband. I have no obligation to stay here with you. Whether you're scared or not, that's your business
Chapter 1666Mrs. McCall woke up early the next morning.Bella asked her mother what she would like to have for breakfast, and she would get it for her."Promise me that you won't chase after Charlie, or I'll commit suicide again..." Mrs. McCall coughed lightly and threatened Bella.Bella stood quietly and kept silent."Weren't you going to kill Ms. Livingston if you could not get Charlie? Do you even know what you're talking about?""You will be dead if you kill her. Didn't you tell me that Ms. Livingston bonded well with the Valentine family in Santabaca and the Wright family in Lanechett? The two families are more powerful than the Morgan Group.""If you really harmed Ms. Livingston, those two families would not only deal with you but also make your father and I pay the price. Can you afford to mess with them?""I'd rather kill myself now than watch you be arrested by the police and sentenced to death and live in hell..."Mrs. McCall spoke very slowly. When she became sligh
Chapter 1667In the past few days, Bella had always thought of the cruel words Charlie had said to her when he left.When Mrs. McCall was sleeping at night, Bella sat by the window alone and was sleepless the whole night. She just sat there all night.Mrs. McCall was stunned and felt that something was wrong with Bella.She wondered if there was something else going behind her back."Are you really getting sober? I still have to warn you that you have to pay for the life you take. You can't get Charlie now. If you kill Ms. Livingston in the future, you will be sentenced to death! And I'll kill myself too!"Reaching out to wipe the tears on her cheeks, Bella walked out and sat on the hospital bench. She gazed quietly at the lake.She sat for a long time from morning to noon, and to night.The cold wind blew hard on her face, but she could not feel the chill…She was thinking about a lot of people and things.She thought about herself, Charlie and Grace. And she also thought of
Chapter 1668The plane took off on time at six. Charlie found Grace's home and business addresses ahead of time and planned to go to her as soon as he got off the plane.Shortly after he got on the plane, however, a woman dressed in black also boarded the plane with a red suitcase.The catwalk had exhausted Grace and Andrew. Nothing could be more gratifying than the successful conclusion of the event. As soon as they got home, Grace went to take a shower.Grace heard Andrew calling her when she was in the shower. She felt surprised and came out of the bathroom, only to see Andrew standing in front of the window.She also walked over and saw Charlie standing on the lawn of the yard. And he framed the words "I love you" and "I'm sorry" with candles.There were quite a few candles. It was quite a spectacle.Grace showed no emotions, frowning.Then, she picked up the showerhead, turned it on, and sprayed the water into the yard. In an instant, Charlie was drenched and the candles we
Chapter 1669"Look, I'm not to be trifled with. If you dare to be presumptuous in front of me, you won’t have a good end. I'm gonna let you crawl out of here! Do you believe it?""Of course I do." Bella bit her lips and asked, "Could I use your bathroom?""No!" Grace gave her a blunt refusal, "Hold it. When you can't hold it in anymore, you can leave."Bella had no choice but to hold it, "Well, about Charlie and me. I'll start from the beginning..."Charlie stood on the lawn and began to squint and frown anxiously as he saw Bella squeeze into Grace's house.He had no idea why Bella came over or what they were talking about!"From the beginning?"Grace adjusted the coat which was slipping over her shoulders, "So, are you here to tell me how happy you are?""Well, it's really not easy for you to come to France from Santabaca. But I'm not interested. Pack your suitcase and leave my house.""Can't you just hear me out?" Bella asked.Grace thought Bella was really ridiculous, "Giv
Chapter 1670Gradually, Eaton woke up, waving his hands in the air and grasping Grace's clothes now and then.Grace kissed Eaton's cheek with a smile. Typically, children always grew fast and changed every day. Grace felt Eaton had changed a lot since he was born.Bella went on, "It was the happiest thing for me to be close to him and look at him so closely. I even felt blessed to breathe the same air as he.""At that time, I always looked at him from a distance without any undue thoughts. The fact that we were dating after your divorce made me so happy that I lost my mind.""I thought he was the one. He was mine...""However, he broke up with me soon after we went out. I refused to accept that fact. I naively thought that as long as I stayed by his side, he would discover my merits and come back to me.""I gradually realized that things were not going as I expected. Our relationship got nowhere, and you came back from France! He alienated me even more. He only had eyes for you,
Chapter 1671Bella could see Charlie standing on the lawn through the window."His indifference sobered me up completely. When he took my mother to the hospital, I thought he would stay in the hospital with me. I panicked at the thought of my mother covered in blood.""However, he told me that he did it out of kindness and that he would not stay there with me, after all, he was neither my boyfriend nor my husband. He also said that even if I fainted in the hospital because of fear, it had nothing to do with him. I tried in vain to beg him to stay...""I had figured these things out..." Bella added, "You may not know about my family. My parents have many brothers and sisters, but we have an uneasy relationship with those relatives. They look down on us because our family is poor.""My parents would be ridiculed when they went to borrow money from those relatives. My mother often cried and told me that I had to win honor for our family and then astonish those who looked down on us."
Chapter 1672"How can I persuade you to trust me, Grace? I'm not putting you on. Is it only when I kneel that you can forgive me?"Grace ignored him and watered the plants instead.Out of the corner of her eye, Grace noticed Charlie kneeling. "Men do not bend their knees easily. The more they do it, the cheaper they look," Grace showed no emotion and said coldly.Charlie went rigid and said bitterly, "I don't care that! If you can forgive me, I can kneel for a month!"Grace said icily, "Listen, it's no use for you to kneel here. Go away and do not come here again! I will not trust you anymore.""I swear I won't make the same mistake again, Grace!""Come on, I'm not a little girl! Do you expect me to believe that? When a man pursues a woman, he can say lots of sweet words, even willing to give his life. But as long as he has his eyes on another woman, he will forget his promises. You once said that you couldn't live without me. But you lived well after you fell in love with anothe
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
