Fortunately, the two children next door were still young. The eldest sister, Elaine, was seven years old, while the youngest brother, Dominic, was only four and a half. They were particularly well-behaved and wouldn't cause any trouble. “Xyla, what is this?” Elaine had never seen a drone before, and she was curious about it.“This is a drone, and it can take panoramic shots. We can see very far away through it too.” Xyla squatted on the ground and taught her how to control it. “Come, I’ll teach you how to control it.”Elaine nodded obediently as she watched Xyla control the drone diligently.After Xyla had taught Elaine how to control the drone, she gave the control panel to her. “Come, give it a try.”Elaine looked at her and took the control panel carefully. A smile broke across Xyla’s face when she saw Elaine carefully control the drone as she had taught her.Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from her father. She walked to the side and answered the call. “Dad?”“Where
Xyla struggled to get herself out of Yorrick's arms but to no avail. She raised her head to look at him and asked, "When you said you're going to put me on the blacklist, you were lying, right?" Yorrick narrowed his eyes. “Yet you still fell for it.”‘My dad is right!’She gnashed her teeth and asked again, “So, that means you’re toying with me?”Yorrick secured her tightly in his arms and leaned in closer. There was a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips as he said, “I thought you’re a smart woman, but it seems like I’m wrong. You’re just as naive as other people.”Xyla took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Do you think this is fun?”Yorrick looked at her, but he did not say anything.“I'm sure you have a lot of fun fooling me around like a monkey, right, Yorrick? You said you don't want to get too involved in a relationship, so I went along with you. You have so many women by your side, so why can't you just let me go?”Xyla couldn’t hold herself anymore and cried. Sh
Yorrick suddenly put a bottle of drink on the fold-out table in front of her, and she froze. She tried to glance at him but couldn't do it too obviously. Then, he took her sunglasses off all of a sudden. She took them back, put them back on, and turned her back on him with her arms wrapped around her.Yorrick chuckled and extended his arms to grab her shoulder. “Are you still angry with me?”Xyla pushed his hand away, pointed at him, and said through gritted teeth, “Take your filthy hands off me. If not, I’m going to sue you for molestation!”Yorrick placed his hand on his forehead and looked at her. Then, he laughed. “Look around you. There are only the two of us in the business cabin.”Xyla was stunned. She rose to her feet and looked around, and just like Yorrick had said, there was no one in the business cabin. She was dumbfounded and dropped back in her seat. “What do you mean by this?”Yorrick leaned closer while twirling his finger around her hair and replied, “It happene
Yorrick did not force Xyla to sit closer to him. After all, she was in his car right now, and there was no way she could escape from him.Soon, they arrived in an upscale hotel owned by the Hathaways. Both Xyla and her suitcases were pushed into a room. The bodyguard stood by the door and said, “Ms. Mayweather, if you need anything, just let me know. Enjoy your stay.”The bodyguard then closed the door, leaving Xyla to stand frozen stiff in her room. ‘So, he just sent me to the hotel?’At the Hathaway mansion, the St. Donnor Estate…“Young Master Yorrick, Mrs. Hathaway is waiting for you in the study room.” The butler stood by the staircase and bowed slightly at Yorrick.Yorrick took his jacket off and handed it to the butler. He took off his watch and went upstairs to the study room. A middle-aged woman was sitting behind the table. She looked like she was in her mid-50s, but since she took good care of her skin, she looked like a woman in her early 30s or 40s.“Mother.” Yorri
From the bathroom to the master bedroom, Yorrick dominated everything in the darkness. No one could see the intense desire that he hid deep in his gaze. For Yorrick, the intimate activity that lasted until daylight was an abyss that he chose to jump into. As for Xyla, it was a contradiction and repression that she had never felt before. In the end, everything came to a calm.The next morning, Xyla was awakened by the noise in the living room. When she tried to move her body, she felt as if her body was falling apart. While she was in a trance, she heard a woman roaring, “Yorrick, I’m your fiancee! I won't stand in your way if you want to have fun with other women, but please, I hope you can respect the marriage contract between us!”Xyla’s eyelashes trembled.‘Fiancee?’She forced herself to get up from the bed and went to the door to listen to their conversation.Yorrick chuckled. “For the record, I’ve never agreed to marry you.”“Do you want to renege on the marriage contra
Yorrick ran his fingers over her lips and smiled. “I don’t have as many women as you think I have.”“If there aren’t hundreds of them, at least there are dozens of them, right?” She smacked his hand away.Yorrick grabbed her finger and held onto it. “That’s different.”Xyla ignored him as she was too tired for his explanation. She pulled her hand out and propped it against Yorrick’s chest, intending to push him away, but his body felt as steady as a mountain.He buried his face in her shoulder and chuckled. “You don’t like the fact that I have too many women around me, do you?”Seeing that she could not push him away, Xyla simply stopped struggling.‘Since he hates women who listen to him and do what he wants them to do, I’ll just become that.’“Yeah, I don’t like the fact that too many women surround you.” Xyla took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck while giving off a hint of coquettishness through her flirtatious gaze. “Why should I share a man with other women,
Xyla looked away and gasped. “I didn’t.”Yorrick snorted. “You’re afraid that you will fall for me someday. That’s why you backed down.”Xyla was so agitated that her whole body trembled. “Who told you that I’m afraid? And why should I fall for you? I’ll fall for every single man in the world before I do the same to you!”“It’s because you’re afraid.”“You!” Xyla’s chest palpitated even more vigorously as she faced the bombardment of his questions.Yorrick then kissed her on the lips and laughed hoarsely when he saw her body soften. “You like the excitement and stimulation that I bring to you, so it’s not that you don’t have feelings for me. It’s just that you don’t want to admit it.”Xyla pursed her lips tightly and stared elsewhere while Yorrick caressed her cheek with his palm. “It does look like many women surround me from time to time.”He paused for a few seconds and then continued with a faint smile. “But frankly speaking, I’ve only slept with two women in total. As for y
Nolan raised his hand, rubbed the top of her shaggy hair, and handed her the delicate cake box. “It’s from David.”Maisie took the cake from him and asked, “Did you go to see President David?”Nolan responded softly, took off his coat, draped it on the back of the chair, and slowly rolled up his sleeves. “Is there anything that hasn’t been done yet?”Maisie chuckled. “Does this mean that you’re offering to help me?”“Otherwise, what else can I do?” Nolan raised his eyebrows slightly. “I told you to hire a few more people instead of asking me to wait for you every day.”Maisie sat down on the couch beside him and opened the cake box. “The main reason is that this branch isn’t stable yet. I’ll definitely hire a few more when everything has gotten on board and is moving stably.”She took a bite off the spoon, and it tasted delicious, sweet, and had a slightly bitter aftertaste. “This is delicious!”Nolan cleared the cashier and did the inventory count for her.As Maisie looked up
