"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
Lyra glanced at the form, which asked for name, age, and other details. She picked up the pen and made a stroke on the paper. Huh? No ink? Lyra looked up and glanced at the cold-faced policewoman. The policewoman remained expressionless, icy. "Mia, let me help you!" Matthew grabbed the pen from Lyra's hand. Men should step up at critical moments and clear all obstacles for their women. Matthew's chubby little hand held the pen tightly and shook it vigorously. He was so clever. By shaking the pen so hard, wouldn't the ink come out, allowing them to write? With such force, whoosh, all the ink splattered onto the policewoman's face! A long, black ink stain stretched from the policewoman's forehead to her mouth. Lyra was shocked, inhaling sharply. She wanted to laugh but felt it would be impolite to do so in front of the policewoman. Moreover, Matthew was still there, and she didn't want to set a bad example by laughing. So she kept her shoulders shaking, desperately tryin
Matthew met Ronan's dangerous gaze, pouted his lips, rolled his eyes, and weakly said, "I'm called... called Matthew." The man's thin lips curled up coldly as he looked at Lyra, and his devilishly low voice sounded, "Did you hear that? This is my son!" He deliberately emphasized his son's name. Lyra's heart skipped a beat! Five years old. Named Matthew. Could it be her child from five years ago? No, it couldn't be! When that child was seven months old, she had a premature birth due to stimulation. During the surgery, Ronan forced her to undergo a bone marrow donation. Torin said that the child didn't make it, that he was dead. Lyra's heart was in turmoil. Was Matthew the child she had missed for five years? Ronan stood there coldly. He was backlit, his features completely hidden in shadow. Lyra couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but she felt his deep black eyes, exceptionally cold and sharp. "You're Mia Vale?" Ronan's lips slightly curled, his voice as ch
Lyra's face turned pale with shock, quickly lifting Matthew, but also afraid of hurting him. Matthew clung to her, his little face wrinkling, "Mia, I'm hurt, it hurts!" "It's okay, it's okay," Lyra hurriedly placed Matthew into the car, then turned to the man beside her and said, "Hurry and take Matthew to the hospital. At this time, he should still be able to see a pediatrician. Any later and he'll have to go to the emergency room." Her tone was very practiced as if they were a family. Ronan raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering why she cared so much about Matthew. If she cared so much, why hadn't she looked for Matthew in all these years? He looked thoughtfully at his son, Matthew, who clung to Lyra with one hand. The clear and tender voice of his son wailed, "Mia, it hurts!" Indeed, like mother, like son, Lyra was almost in tears from worry. "He's prone to dislocations," Ronan explained lightly. "Why is that?" Lyra felt heartbroken. Ronan fell silent for a moment. Just w
"Mia, you're so good to me!" Matthew tightly hugged Lyra and refused to let go, constantly rubbing his chubby cheeks against her.Ronan gritted his teeth, glaring disapprovingly at Matthew, then pursed his lips and walked away briskly. Lyra watched his cold figure, feeling even more tender towards Matthew. The doctor came over and applied ointment to Matthew's bruises.Then Lyra took him to the restroom to clean his hands. Matthew complained of hunger, asking for a hamburger. Lyra reluctantly took him to McDonald's across the street from the hospital and bought him a chicken burger. "Matthew, does your dad hit you?" Lyra asked, worried. If Ronan did hit his son, she was considering whether to report it to the authorities. Although he had great influence in T city, this wasn't T city after all. At the very least, she could give him a warning or something. Chomping on his burger with a mouth full, Matthew looked like a cute little squirrel. "No, my dad has never hit me," he sa
“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
