Looking at how she dressed, one would think she looked like a top performer from a nightclub.Her hairstyle was the trendiest among nightclubs over ten years ago. She was wearing a pair of emerald gemstone earrings.The women's watch on her hand was embedded with the most expensive diamonds, worth over two million dollars.However, to Hayson, this amount of money was no more than a drop in the ocean.Jasmine walked toward Zach and pressed herself against his body. Her voice was alluring, "Seems like he's after your girlfriend! You need to be careful!"Zach's gaze turned cold as he pulled her hand that was resting on his chest away. He then distanced himself from her.Right at this moment, someone knocked on the office door.Zach answered, "Come in!"When Zach turned around, a subtle hint of unhappiness appeared on Jasmine's face.Kevin pushed open the door and reported, "Ms. White is here."Zach nodded, "Let her in."Kevin conceded, "Okay."Jasmine noticed his gaze. She smi
Jadie thought, 'If it wasn't for me suddenly having my period that night and stained my skirt, I wouldn't have had the chance to call him and ask him to come over. And after that, he even carried me out of my classroom.'She asked, "Zach, are you free this weekend? How about we go on a date? You didn't spend time with me during Valentine's Day."Zach answered, "Got it. I'll check my schedule when the time comes and arrange it."Jadie thought, 'He always says this.'Jadie planned to watch a movie for Valentine's Day before shopping for clothes with him. He said the same thing to her. But in the end, he did not go. He ended up working overtime at the company.Jadie said further, "How about we go to the amusement park? I'll wait for you on Friday after school."Zach responded with a sound.After lunch, Kevin came into the office to report on work. Zach had a meeting about half an hour later.Jadie did not want to disturb Zach. So, she left the company.After Kevin left the office
Madelyn thought, 'If this goes on, not only will Forrest not have the mood to listen to me, but I'll also be affected.'After she left the library, she pondered again, 'Would he bring his girlfriend everywhere from now on? I really don't know what he's thinking. I can't understand how men think.'Without Ethan around, Madelyn's day was monotonous. Time passed very quickly. Madelyn packed her backpack after the last class ended. As she was about to leave, Jadie suddenly walked to her, "Madelyn, are you free? Zach and I haven't had a meal with you in a long time. Let's go back and eat together tonight."I'll cook. I promise you'll love it. Rosario had taught me a lot about cooking."Madelyn rejected, "I have class later. So, I can't come with you."Jadie asked, "Class? Special math class?"Madelyn answered, "Yes."Jadie probed, "Why don't you just join the Math Olympiad training class like back then?"Madelyn pursed her lips. As soon as she was about to respond, Yvonne came over
Everyone thought that Ethan was an outstanding heir to the Arnold family.Other than the influential figures, many charming beauties came too. Many people from wealthy families greeted Ethan. Many heiresses wanted to have a drink with Ethan, too. However, Kevin had stopped all their attempts.When Ethan was involved in the car accident, he became paralyzed in both legs. This incident caused a big sensation in the news. Now, he was able to stand up. It seemed like his legs had been treated successfully.No one dared to force him if he did not want to drink.This banquet would end at nine o'clock at night.At eight o'clock, all the lights at the venue suddenly went out. It was extremely dark.Several blue beams of light shone on the stage in the next second. A woman in a limited blue gown sat in front of the piano. The music she played silenced the clamor.Everyone quietly looked at her. Her hair was long and beautiful. With the ethereal music, she looked like a mermaid.Someone
It was eight thirty at night. Madelyn was sitting in the back passenger seat, looking out the window frustratedly. She thought, 'I shouldn't have left so early. Or else, I wouldn't have met them.'Madelyn left early today because she wanted to go back early and rest.Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zach and Jadie as soon as she left the school. They were going for a late-night snack.Zach did not allow her a chance to reject them. He just brought her into his car.Zach and Jadie happily discussed what to eat and their plans for the weekend. Now that they were together, Madelyn felt like a third wheel. She felt very uncomfortable. She thought, 'I'm like an outsider being forced to be in their lives.'Jadie turned her head and asked Madelyn, "What'd you like to eat? Grilled food, or do you want to eat fish?"Madelyn, who was lost in her thoughts, quickly snapped back. She gently said, "Ah," before saying with a faint smile, "I'm fine with anything. Actually, I'm not that hungry."Ja
As soon as Zach loosened his grip slightly, Madelyn pushed him away and wanted to escape. Zach watched her desperately try to run away before grabbing her.Madelyn felt she was choking on her own collar; she was pulled back to him. He held her body firmly, saying, "It's been a while since I saw you. You've gotten fatter."Madelyn could not see his face clearly in this dark alley. But she could imagine his teasing expression.She said, "It's none of your business. You weren't the person who paid for my food."Zach pinched the flesh at her waist before kissing her neck. Madelyn was overwhelmed.Zach thought, 'Actually, Madelyn isn't fat. She merely gained some weight. In the past, Madelyn was so thin that she gave the impression that her waist could easily snap on the bed. Her techniques improve quite a bit too.'He said, "You're a smart mouth as always. Did you think I wouldn't touch you anymore just because you went to the Arnold residence? Huh?"Madelyn could feel Zach's hand o
Zach looked deeply into her eyes. His thoughts were difficult to discern. Even after spending so much time with him, Jadie still felt insecure about him.Although they were in a relationship now, Jadie felt she never truly understood him. Other than holding hands, they had never even kissed before.Jadie always wondered if she was too desperate. She thought, 'Zach always treats me as his sister. Seems like he still hasn't moved beyond our previous relationship.'Zach went to settle the bill at the front desk before they left the restaurant.They went to the Jent residence instead of going back to the Grand Court. Jadie sat in the car as she looked at the huge villa. She asked, "Zach, are we not going home?"Ever since Jadie returned from overseas, she had never liked the Jent residence in the Southern Haven Villas. She particularly disliked the way Hayson looked at her.Zach asked, "You don't like it here?""It's not that." Jadie shook her head.But Zach could tell from her exp
Jasmine tried to figure out what Zach was thinking from his expression, but his expression was unreadable. Jasmine could not discern anything, but her heart was filled with sorrow."Jealous?" Zach reached past her and set down the glass of water on the table before taking out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiping his hands as if he had touched something dirty. After he was done, he threw it onto the table.Jasmine smiled, "Of course! You're the man I've set my sights on, after all. I can't have you, so it's only natural for me to get jealous when you don't end up with me."Zach threw her a sideway glance icily, "Is this what you figured out after being by my side all these years?"He continued, "But it's a shame. I prefer my women pure."Jasmine felt heartbroken upon hearing Zach's words. It was as if her wound that had already scabbed over, was ripped open.'That's right. I'm no longer pure. I'm... unworthy of him,' she thought again."Don't look at me like that.
