2024-10-29 19:42:56Ronan looked up abruptly, searching for those familiar eyes from his memories.
The eyes that had once looked at him with tenderness.
He nervously scanned the surroundings, but amidst the crowd, he couldn't find those eyes.
He sighed softly, his thoughts racing.
After all, Lyra had been dead for five years.
How could she possibly be at Grandfather's funeral?
Perhaps she was here to pay her respects to Grandfather, her soul drifting here to bid him farewell!
Ronan felt as though an invisible hand had clenched his heart tightly.
He whispered gently, "Lyra, do you still hate me? Why have you never come to see me?"
Lyra nervously left the chapel.
She felt a bit dazed as if she had seen Ronan.
But before he could see her, she quickly turned and left.
Five years had passed, and he seemed thinner, more mature.
Over the years, the hatred in her heart had gradually begun to dissipate.
Perhaps, if

If you want to talk about who's the most formidable in the Vale family, People outside unanimously say it's Ronan. Five years ago, he was known as a playboy who only knew how to chase women, but he was ousted from the position of CEO of Zenith Ventures. Just when everyone was waiting to see Ronan's downfall, little did they know he had already transferred Zenith Ventures' funds, leaving only an empty shell for Dorian Ashford. Dorian Ashford didn't last three months, as the shareholders of the board refused to cooperate. Following Ronan might mean dealing with a bad reputation and a sharp tongue, but at least he made money! Dorian Ashford, on the other hand, was far from competent. Despite his surface-level astuteness, he was clueless about management and misused the company's funds. With Dorian Ashford, it was only a matter of time before everything went downhill! The shareholders convened a meeting and decided to bring

"Matthew, kneel down and kowtow to your mother," Ronan said. "No!" Matthew refused without hesitation. "You won't?" Ronan's eyes turned stern as he looked at him. Matthew tilted his neck back and said, "Mom's not here!" Ronan's face instantly darkened, and he stared down at Matthew, his tone carrying a hint of danger. "Who told you Mom isn't here?" Matthew felt a bit intimidated by his father's gaze and said with a forced voice, "It was Mia who told me. Mia said when people die, they become stars in the sky!" Oh no, don't blame me, Mia. Dad looks so terrifying now, but to avoid getting beaten up, I have to betray you first. "Who's Mia?" Ronan frowned. Matthew immediately showed a shy expression, scratching his chubby head awkwardly, and said, "Dad, Mia is a girl I just met, she's my true love. I've decided to marry her." Ronan completely scorned him, coldly debunking his lie, "Last month,

Matthew immediately shook his head, "I'm not alone, I have Little White with me!" Lyra looked around but couldn't find the Samoyed named Little White. Matthew pointed to the convenience store on the roadside and said, "Little White is performing there." Lyra looked over and saw Little White being cute at the entrance of the convenience store. Rolling on the ground for a while, then standing up and walking on two legs, and finally even extending its paws to make a congratulatory gesture. Oh my! It's just a dog! Did it learn all this on its own? If Matthew relied on it to feed him, he would have starved! The people at the convenience store were all melting, patting Little White's head and giving him a bag containing two egg tarts and a sausage. Little White happily ran back, saw Lyra, and came over joyfully, rubbing against her legs excitedly. "Little White, how can you be so shameless!" Matthew accused an

"Dad, I'm at Mia's house, she's cooking for me. Do you know what this means? When a woman cooks for a man, it means she truly loves him!" After sending the message, he felt like he hadn't explained it enough, so he sent two more. "Mia said she wants to celebrate my birthday, so I'm not coming home tonight. Don't miss me too much." "Even though you can't find a girlfriend, I'll find you a daughter-in-law!" At this moment, in the CEO's office at Zenith Ventures, Ronan's phone lit up with a WeChat notification. He opened it and listened to the messages his son sent, his handsome face showing a hint of coldness. When he saw the photos of the green pepper beef and coriander meatballs, he suddenly paused. Somehow, Ronan suddenly remembered what happened five years ago. He still remembered that Lyra's specialty dish was green pepper beef. Once, when he got drunk and complained of hunger, Lyra cooked green pepper beef f

After finishing breakfast, Lyra said, "Caleb, can I take you home now?"Although she liked the child, she had to take him home now; otherwise, his family would worry.Upon hearing this, Matthew's handsome little face immediately drooped, and he sniffed heavily, "Are you not going to take responsibility for me?"Oh my, they had slept together last night, why was Mia turning her back on him in the morning?A woman's mind was really hard to fathom!Matthew was extremely handsome.His face was fair and tender, and his delicate features, not yet fully developed, were already very handsome.Especially his pair of dark eyes, shining like obsidian.Lyra's heart softened, and she said softly, "But your dad will miss you. Good children don't make their parents worry."Matthew frowned, saying seriously, "My dad won't worry about me. Can I stay and play for another day? I promise my dad will come to pick me up tomorrow."Lyra squatted down and rubbed his head."Okay, just one day!" Lyra said relu

She forcibly suppressed this uncomfortable feeling and tenderly said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. But violence doesn't solve problems. Please don't do this again, okay?"Looking at Lyra's gentle face, Matthew nodded.The bell rang, and Lyra asked Matthew to go find Little White first and wait at the school gate.She returned to the office, packed up, and was about to leave when the principal walked in."Please wait a moment, everyone," the principal said.The teachers, who were packing up to leave, were all stunned."Why is the principal here at this time?""Could it be that we have to work overtime? So annoying! I had plans to watch a movie!""Please quiet down," the principal said sternly. "Today, I need to criticize a teacher, Mia Vale.""What? What happened to Mia Vale?""Isn't that a mistake? Teacher Mia has always worked very hard, and the students all like her!""Quiet!" The principal got angry and pounded on the table, silencing everyone.The principal continued, "Mia Val

He didn't hide his intentions at all, even smiling sweetly at the surveillance camera.Despite his cute and innocent face, he seemed as wicked as a demon.Nathan gritted his teeth and said, "This child must be brought by Mia Vale, right? I will make Mia Vale pay!"Lyra had planned to go to the amusement park with Matthew today but received a call from the school, asking her to come over."Caleb, I have something to take care of at school first. Then we can go to the amusement park, okay?" she asked."I'll go with you!" Matthew said."Okay!""Director, Mia Vale is here, in your office," a teacher said."I have something to discuss with Mia Vale, tell everyone not to disturb," Nathan said, his eyes flashing with malice as he walked into his office.Daring to injure his son severely?This Mia Vale was simply asking for death.Today, he must teach this ignorant woman a lesson!Nathan walked in angrily, ready to scold her, but was captivated by the sweet appearance of the girl before him.

"Wait!" Nathan spoke up."I've investigated and it turns out that my son accidentally fell on his own. This has nothing to do with Teacher Mia. I will inform the whole school today and reinstate Teacher Mia."Nathan said weakly.Poor Nathan was so scared that he almost wet his pants.If his affairs with female teachers were exposed, he would be sent to prison!He could only choose to compromise now.Being threatened by a five-year-old kid, Nathan was so angry he felt like spitting blood.He forced himself to calm down. "Can you delete those emails?""Wait until Mia resumes work."After Matthew left, Nathan was so angry that he smashed everything in the office."Mia, let's go play!" Matthew ran happily towards Lyra.Just as Lyra was about to nod, she received a call from the principal, saying that the investigation had been cleared and the director's son had injured himself accidentally, having nothing to do with Lyra. She could return to work anytime.Lyra refused. She didn't want to

“Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo

Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting

He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched

"If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached

She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr

!Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s

Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat

Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep

Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
