“I’ve been sentenced to three years in prison and they said my behaviour is good enough for a commutation of sentence. Take care of yourself and your brother; I did him wrong,” Yvette spoke first with her head held low, her tone deep. Compared to the Yvette that he used to know, the Yvette before him now was like a completely different person. He loathed and despised her in his heart, but all he felt was pain and bitterness when he looked at her current state. “How about you? How have you been?” Jazz asked after pausing for a moment. “I’m doing very well.” Yvette lifted her head. Though she was skinny and dark, she still had energy and her eyes were sparkling. “It’s true, I really am doing well here, and I am making full use of my time. I’ve never experienced this kind of life before.”Though she said it lightly, it was filled with honesty. “I’ve been working with the ladies in here - weeding, gardening, and doing laundry together. I’ve always been alone back in Valentine mansio
“Darling, come say good morning to your daddy.” Summer walked out from the washroom.He has been unconscious for more than a month, and she has been reading the news and talking to him every day. He had never responded but she will not give up!“Mommy, Daddy is such a lazy pig!” Charlotte pouted her tiny lips. “Good morning, Daddy.”“Go drink some water. I’ll send you to school later.” She believed that he will wake up. She bent down and pecked his thin lips. ‘Mommy has been taking advantage of Daddy every day, how shameless!’Charlotte held a cup of water in her hand as she stood by the window, swaying her head left to right. As she did not hold the cup firmly, the cup wobbled and the hot water spilled out from the cup, splashing onto the back of Mark’s hand.The water was fresh from the jug, so it was quite hot. A few drops of it landed on her own hand as she gulped for air. Just like a thief, she pulled out her sleeve after noticing that Summer was nowhere to be seen. She q
“Tell me everything.” Mark gulped down his saliva. At that moment, he wanted to know everything about Summer. As long as it was related to Summer, regardless of how big or small it is, he wanted to know about it eagerly. Besides, he really liked listening to anything that was about her.Jazz also knew that he wanted to know about Summer, so he told him everything about her. He told him every single detail about the things that the mother and daughter had done from the day he was admitted to the hospital.They greeted him every morning and would always talk to him for half an hour or so. They would update him on the latest news, read him the newspapers, chat with him and massage him. Comment by Sandra E: This sentence seems repetitive/missing some wordsComment by Angel Woo: the chinese version was literally Summer updating him about the latest news and reading him to newspapers hahaComment by Sandra E: Oh, I see. So I'll just edit it slightly haha, thanks!Comment by Sandra E: _Mar
“Also Daddy, you had been sleeping for so long that I grew taller again. Mommy said that I am three centimeters taller. Three centimeters is very tall, right? Daddy you need to wake up and punish Mommy, she has become lazier now! She doesn’t even make a proper breakfast nowadays, and things cannot continue like this. My teacher said I’m growing now and I need sufficient nutrients. What if I stopped growing taller? Sigh, it’s really worrying…”She formed her hand into a fist and put it under her chin before letting out a sigh.Mark could not keep himself together anymore as the corners of his lips curved up slightly, almost exposing his act. But Charlotte was not even looking at him. “My teacher told us a story about a boy named Sima who saved his drowning friend by breaking the clay vat with a rock to rescue him. But I don’t really like Sima because I think he is a little silly. You should just get your parents’ help if you see a boy drowning in a vat. Why would you need to break a
She must have been tired and lonely after keeping this up for more than a month. The next morningAfter having Charlotte greet him good morning, she wiped her face and left the ward with her. The man woke up from his bed not long after she left. He even had his suit ready - a black blazer, a navy blue blouse, and a white tie with blue stripes.Mark dialed a number while sipping on a cup of warm water. “Is everything ready?”It was Jazz on the other end, who was smiling with his eyes as he said cheekily, “Mark, how have I never known that you were such a romantic guy? You’re giving me goosebumps. Tsk tsk, would Summer pass out when she finds out about the surprise you’ve prepared for her?”“Busybody.” Mark immediately hung up the phone after spitting these words as a grin grew on his face.…The roads were busy and Summer was running late. She parked her car in a rush and ran towards the school after carrying her bag. She ran swiftly like the wind despite wearing a pair of t
It was him, it really was him!She was afraid that she was dreaming, or even hallucinating. She raised her hand up and started pinching her arm viciously, causing her to groan from the pain.“You’re even merciless towards yourself, hm?” The man sounded gentle. He stretched his arms out and swept her into his arms before walking her to the middle of the school field. At that moment, all her doubts about reality vanished as she no longer believed that she was dreaming or hallucinating. She could no longer hold it in and her tears started pouring out from her eyes as she smacked his chest. “When did you wake up?”“Yesterday.” He wiped away the tears on her face. “Then why didn’t you tell me! Why didn’t you tell me that you’re awake! Do you know how long I waited? Do you know how badly I wanted you to wake up? Why didn’t you tell me! Do you know how scared and worried I was?”Her tears were like a stream of river flowing down her cheeks. She was angry and emotional as she continued
“Are you not going to say yes? My legs are starting to hurt…” Mark could not help being nervous at this moment. She looked at him squarely without saying a word. He was starting to feel worried as he squinted his eyes. “My legs really hurt, I’ll probably faint if you still don’t let me get up.”But she still kept her silence, so he became anxious. “Do you think I am still going to treat you badly in front of so many people?”“Nope,” she finally uttered a word. Her smile was like a blooming flower and it looked even more striking and eye-catching than the rose petals on the ground. “I do.” She was looking at his heart. She had no idea how much effort and work he put in for this proposal. But, she wanted to tell him that she was really touched.She wanted to share her joy and excitement without trying to hide any of it as she locked her eyes on him fondly. “I’m very touched, I really am. Thank you!”The tension he felt in his body finally loosened up. Mark's lips curled up and he
“Your daughter said she wants a matcha cake, and I don’t want anything. But could you please come back as soon as possible? She is doing all kinds of things to my body,” Jazz was shouting and nobody knew what Charlotte was doing to him on the other end of the phone.It was already getting late, so they did not want to stay any longer. They went back to Valentine mansion after buying a cake and dinner on their way back. Charlotte was really fooling around. She was using a marker to doodle on Jazz’s face, which looked beyond recognition. No one could tell if she was drawing a pig or a dog on Jazz’s handsome face. Mark carried Charlotte over and put her on his lap. “Why are you so naughty, hm?”“I have nobody else to play with. Uncle is the only one who plays with me.” Charlotte pouted resentfully. “Your Mommy bought you a cake, go and eat it.” His deep voice was filled with affection as he patted her backside. She played too much the whole day so she was starting to feel sleepy
