Ronan 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
