Colton raised his head, looked at him, and said with his childish voice, “Then why did you still choose to help me?”“Did someone help you?” Louis frowned. “You’re just a little kid, and you dare to talk to a professor like this?”“I’m not just a little kid.” Colton was enraged.Louis moved his hand and gestured to Colton’s height. “You’re only this tall, aren’t you a little kid?”Colton refuted confidently, “It’s not that I can’t grow up anymore!”“Pfft, but you’re just a little kid now.” Louis looked at this kid.‘He’s not only a little smart but also not afraid of me. Not to mention the good results that he obtained in the academy’s rating selection just now. He’s one of a kind.‘But why does his face look so familiar?’“I’m going to practice the piano already. See you around, Professor Lucas.” Colton propped his little arms on his waist and left the scene in tiny steps.Louis watched as the little rugrat walked away.‘I wonder which family this brat is from. He actually p
Why would she want to have more children with a horrible man like this? No way!“Shameless man who could only think about sleeping with me. Dream on!” she mumbled while she was folding up some clothes, planning to go sleep with Daisie instead. Maisie didn’t notice that the man who was leaning against the door with his hands crossed was squinting at her. Nolan wasn’t angry hearing her mumble insults about him because it was true that he did want to sleep with her. When Maisie turned around with the clothes in her arms, her body jolted, and her expression froze. No, she had been too careless!“Done with the scolding?” Nolan’s eyes stared straight at her. She was pretty energetic when she was angry at him. That was quite adorable. Maisie didn’t say anything. She carried the clothes out calmly and said, “I’m going to sleep with Daisie tonight.”Nolan didn’t stop her but smiled helplessly when he watched her walk away. Maisie was worried that the man was going to stick to her
Her father would do anything if she threw a tantrum in the past, but now he was ignoring her. It was all because of Maisie!Laila didn’t say anything, but she was thinking. After Willow finished breakfast, Leila went to Stephen’s study. She wanted to find out what that old man was doing. She didn’t know what to expect before she started prying, but when she found out, she was shocked. It was all things that Marina had left behind!Leila’s eyes turned red. He had been hiding in the study all these days to tidy up the items Marina had left behind!That old man really still missed that dead woman!Leila looked at those items. What surprised her was that there was not a single picture of Marina. They were all random, worthless objects. She had no idea why he wanted to keep them.Suddenly, she found a red wooden box at the bottom of the box. Leila held the box and opened it. There was a very delicate vintage bracelet made with blue agate with a gold rim. The bracelet didn’t
Maisie paused, her eyes looking down. “Why did you suddenly decide to tell me now?”Stephen never wanted to talk about her mother, and Maisie always thought that he had forgotten about her. She would feel sad whenever she saw Willow and Leila. Stephen saw the dismay in her eyes, and his heart was heavy. “I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t want to get into it.”“I always wanted to know, did you really hate my mother that much?”She had given him a daughter but wasn’t better than Leila?Stephen gnashed his teeth. “You don’t know what happened between your mother and me, and you think that I hate her?”Maisie looked away without saying a word. “Zee, you probably didn’t know that when your mother married me, she came to me. We didn’t get married for love at first.”Not for love? Maisie was stumped with surprise. Stephen looked sad. “I was young and ambitious, wanting to build a career in Bassburgh after leaving Coralia. But I kept getting stonewalled until I met your m
Stephen had spent two years in hopes that he would move her one day, but other than giving him a child, she never showed any love for him. When Maisie had started growing up, and Marina’s health started deteriorating, he realized that she had chosen to have a child because she knew that she wasn’t going to live for much longer. This was her way of making up to him—such an absurd way. She had tricked him and made him fall head over heels. He resented her even after her death!She never said anything until her death. All these years, his pain would worsen as Maisie grew up, resembling Marina more and more.Although Stephen had brought Leila and Willow back and started focusing on Willow, he still cared about Maisie. He just didn’t want to be reminded of Marina. Maisie buried her face in her hands while seated on the couch. Her face was pale as paper. All these years, she had been under the impression that her father cheated on their marriage. Since her mother had been treatin
Daisie laughed. “You little rascal! What are you laughing about!?” Willow’s face turned green after hearing her laughter. She hadn’t even started with them yet. Ryleigh stood in front of Willow. “What are you trying to do, Willow? This is a restaurant. If you want to go crazy, please do that in the streets, don’t disturb the patrons here.”A man with headphones sitting at the front just wanted to have some lunch but frowned when he heard the commotion. This had nothing to do with him, so he wasn’t going to step in. The other patrons looked toward them, seemingly unhappy. The server went up to try and stop them but was chewed up by Willow. No one could have predicted that Willow was going to throw a cup of coffee at Ryleigh.Everyone around them stood up, startled. “Godmother!” Waylon stood up, took off his sunglasses, and threw a glass of water at Willow. Willow’s makeup started melting because of the water. “You horrible rascals, how dare you—”Willow angrily raised h
‘What’s more, who in Zlokova doesn’t know that my mother is the distinguished daughter of the nobility of Stoslo?’Louis had no feelings for this woman and did not want to pay any attention to her.Willow stopped him. “I’m sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I still have to thank you. You’re the one who caught me in time…”“You let go of—” Louis’s gaze landed on the bracelet on Willow’s right hand, and his expression changed to one of shock. He grabbed her hand abruptly and asked, “Where did this bracelet come from?”Willow was flustered.‘Why would he ask me about this bracelet?’“Answer me!”“This… This is…” Willow felt that he cared a lot about this bracelet.‘Could it be that the bracelet left by that wh*re’s mother has any connection with him? If that’s the case, then I…’She bit her lip and answered, “It’s a gift from my mother.”Louis stared at her closely and asked word by word, “Is your mother Marina?”Willow felt a little guilty.‘How could Marina be my mother? B
‘This bracelet belongs to Maisie’s mother, but how could I know that Maisie’s mother was a noblewoman? If I were to return the bracelet to Maisie, wouldn’t I be creating an opportunity for them to recognize her?‘How could I allow Maisie to regain this identity of hers so that she could step on us for the rest of our lives?’“But, as for Dad’s…” Willow still had concerns.Leila thought about it calmly for a moment. “Your dad probably doesn’t know about this, so don’t let him or your grandma know about it.“Willie, take the bracelet and go to meet Madam Lucas, then find a way to hide your past until you get the chance to approach the de Armas. You’ll definitely get everything that you desire when you take that b*tch’s place in the family!”Leila had gotten used to difficult times since she was a child. If she had not met Stephen, she would still be living frugally in a small hut somewhere around the city.She naturally did not want Willow to be like her. Although she knew that the
