“Grandma, you eat the biggest piece. I’m the youngest. I’ll eat the smaller piece.” Charlotte handed Daisy the largest piece of watermelon back while nibbling the one in her hand.“Oh, my granddaughter is so kind. Tell me, what did you learn at school today?”“Respect our olders.” She thought carefully and said in a soft, tender voice.Hearing this, Daisy could not help laughing. “Respect our elders, honey, not olders.”“Err, right, elders.” Charlotte rubbed her face awkwardly.Summer kept wanting to talk about the issue but held back, and eventually, she did not ask the question. After lulling Charlotte to sleep, she went to the living room for a glass of water and found Daisy still sitting on the sofa, sorting out Charlotte’s childhood photos.In front of her lay three or four photo albums. Sitting down on the sofa, she picked up a photo album and flipped through it at random. She found that those were her photos, taken when she was very young. The whole album was all pictures
“I’ve raised you since you were a baby, now you’ve grown up to be so beautiful, nobody can take you away from me. Now tell me, what did you hear from someone else?”Summer shook her head and said casually, “No, I just heard some gossip, so I tried to get some reaction from you, but I didn’t expect you to confess so easily.”“You silly girl! I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to have any bad feelings. I raised you since you were just a baby; you are my own daughter, and if anyone says anything else, just ignore it.”They sat on the sofa and talked for a long time before saying good night to each other and going to bed.Summer was lying in bed. Her mind was in such a whirl that it could no longer function properly. It was only one day, but she felt her life had turned 180 degrees.Samantha was her biological mother, yet she was sleeping with Ronald!But Summer did not even want to acknowledge Samantha as her biological mother. Her life was good and peaceful now. She did no
With a burst of laughter, Summer felt a lot of relief from the annoyance she had been feeling today. The annoyance had dissipated a great deal from her mind.The call was not short, all the way from the office to the school gate. After getting into the taxi, Summer hung up the phone.Charlotte had been picked up by Daisy. Summer went straight back to her house, locked herself in her room, and began sorting out her confused thoughts and deciding what was the right thing to do.After thinking about it for a while, she got an idea in her mind and made a decision. She called Ronald and made an appointment to meet him later.The meeting place was not far from home. When Summer arrived, she saw Ronald and Samantha sitting side by side. She sat opposite them.“Summer, you asked us out at this hour. Have you made up your mind?” Ronald asked.Summer nodded her head faintly, her eyes brushing across Samantha. She looked calm, not excited or delighted.“If you want me to donate bone marrow
She called Ronald and asked him where he was.Ronald said he was meeting with someone important in Santabaca. They exchanged a few words, then hung up.She showered, put on her makeup, changed her clothes, and carried her bags. Yvette dressed up, paying attention to the details from head to toe and did not leave Valentine mansion until she was satisfied with herself.In the hospitalRonald hung up and peeled the apple. Samantha was lying in the hospital bed and looking at him, smiling. “Your wife?”“Yup.” Ronald cut the apple into small pieces and fed it directly into her mouth. “Why did you abandon your child?”“Of course there are reasons for doing that.” Samantha clearly did not like the topic. She looked languidly out the window. “Autumn is coming.”Looking out of the window, she could see that the leaves on the trees on both sides of the hospital had gradually turned yellow, and were falling gently with the autumn wind.Ronald poured another cup of warm water and went to o
Yvette’s hair was now a mess from the struggle. Her simple and elegant hairdo had become disheveled. She kicked and scratched Ronald, and then she lowered her head to bite his wrist.The bite took all her strength. Yvette did not let go of the bite until the faint taste of blood spread between her lips and teeth.Ronald took a gasp of pain and forcefully pushed Yvette away. Next, she picked up a glass and threw it at Samantha.Samantha jumped out of bed, but the glass smashed into the wall behind the bed, sending shards of glass flying in every direction. Some of the pieces cut her face, some cut her arms, and trickles of blood started oozing out.Ronald called the doctor in and, without saying a word, yanked the frantic Yvette out of the room.Back at the Valentine mansion, they inevitably had a violent quarrel. Valentine mansion became a mess in a moment, and everything that could be thrown was smashed. Ronald’s abdomen was hit by something thrown his way, and he was sitting on
When Summer arrived at the kindergarten, she learned that Mark had picked up Charlotte. She frowned. Mark was back already? Why did he not tell her?When she arrived at the apartment, she found the man sitting on the floor with Charlotte in his arms, working on a puzzle. He saw her walk in and said, “Summer, I’m hungry.”“Haven’t you eaten yet?” She put her bag aside and put on her slippers.“No, I’m waiting for you to cook for me,” he said naturally. “I’ve been eating out for days. I’m tired of it.”“What time was the flight?” Summer opened the fridge, and the ingredients inside were rich and fresh.Mark glanced at the clock and then slouched back on the sofa. “I arrived in Santabaca at four.”Which means he picked up Charlotte as soon as he got off the plane, so he definitely did not have time to eat.Mark leaned his long body back on the sofa as he heard the noise coming from the kitchen. His eyes fell on the kitchen.She was walking around the kitchen in her apron, and the
“Look at his face, his eyes, nose, and lips. If he wasn’t a temptress, what else could he be? Would you be this bewitched if he wasn’t a temptress?”Mark being a temptress…Summer almost spit the water that she was drinking on the temptress’ face. ‘Only Daisy could come up with such expressions!’In another setting...A huge pile of documents was laid in front of Yvette. She had a clear glass of water in her hand as she looked through Mark’s activities in Grudin North and Santabaca, especially those that were done behind closed doors.Suddenly, her eyes widened when she caught sight of one file!‘Summer Hart’s the biological daughter of that woman, Samantha…’She clenched her jaw as she read through the report. Every detail was written clearly, so there were definitely no mistakes.She could not find any negative news about Ronald in Grudin North. Even if she searched to the bottom of the earth, she still would not be able to find anything, as Ronald was a cautious man. How cou
His eyes were still shut when he responded like he was half-awake. “K…”Summer then rushed to the bathroom and freshened up before proceeding to make breakfast. When she was almost done with the soup, she headed back to the bedroom.On the bed were two sleepy people who had no intention of waking up. They were very deep in their sleep. Mark was already in a different position with Charlotte sleeping in his arms. Their faces looked relaxed and sweet.Even though she was angry, she found it hilarious. Mark had just responded to her not long ago, but look at him now…She walked over and carried Charlotte away from him. She then patted his back softly and said, “Hurry up. Wake up, you’re already late!”“Five more minutes. Let me sleep for five more minutes…” His deep and hoarse voice was coated with drowsiness. Mark lay still on the bed as if he was exhausted, but it also looked like he was just being stubborn.Charlotte was also still in her dreamland. Her eyes remained unfocused wh
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
