Violet’s hands went straight toward the flowers, which hid a tiny red square box. Violet opened the box and saw a huge pink diamond ring.Violet didn’t expect him to have prepared a ring. “Jackie Clifford, why would you prepare this so soon?”She had never agreed to remarry. How could he!?Jackie looked serious. “I didn’t get you one for our marriage of convenience, so I owe you one, and this is atonement.”She paused. “Atonement?”Jackie took the ring and turned to face her. “Let me see if the size is right.”He held her hand and slid it onto her ring finger. It fitted perfectly.Violet didn’t realize that she had let him put the ring on and suddenly realized that something was wrong when the ring was in place.Seeing that he was smiling, Violet suddenly realized that she was trapped. “You tricked me!”Jackie pulled her into his arms. “I didn’t. I’m serious about this.”Violet struggled. “*sshole, you tricked me into marrying you!”He laughed with her in his arms. “Remarr
Penelope had become the laughingstock of the city because of Brooklyn. She had accused Violet of sabotaging her relationship, but she was the real homewrecker. Even though Brooklyn had tricked her and she was the victim of the entire shenanigan, after learning of his married status, she refused to leave him. Instead, she wanted him to divorce his wife and marry her.People always said that those who were pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows, and it was the truth.All of the socialites came and greeted her warmly when they all saw Violet. Even though Violet did not like it, she still responded to them politely.“Ms. Lovegood, I heard that Mr. Clifford is going to get you back. How romantic.” “It seems like you’ve successfully captured the heart of your ex-husband, Ms. Lovegood.”Violet felt a little embarrassed as she listened to their flattery.It was true that Jackie was trying to win her back, but she hadn’t said yes to his marriage proposal. Besides,
This made Jackie even more charming than those men who told her what they wanted right off the bat.He wanted to do it, but he kept his distance. Even though there were times when he crossed the line, he did not take advantage of her.Perhaps this was the highest form of a man slowly taking over a woman's heart.He walked step by step into her world. However, instead of forcing her, he played hard to catch with her, wanting her to make the first move.Violet felt tortured at this moment. She tried to struggle for her freedom, but Jackie did not give her a chance. Her nerves were tense as she was worried that other people might come and see them. In the end, she bit her lips and said, "Let's go home."Jackie pressed his forehead against hers, and his breath became heavy. “Go back where?”Her head went blank for a second. “Go back home?”He chuckled and played with her palm. “My home?”Violet nodded blankly, and then she froze.Jackie scooped her up from the ground and laughed.
Waylon asked, “What is it?” Colton said, resting his chin on his palm, “We just need to make him busy.”At the Azoor Villa…The faint light in the courtyard was reflected through the cracks in the curtains. The bedroom was darkly lit with a warm atmosphere.Violet looked toward the outside and fell into thought.Jackie wrapped his arm around her and hugged her from the back. He rested his chin on her shoulder and asked, “Did you regret it?”She lowered her head and answered, “There’s nothing for me to regret about.”She did not know how to describe her feelings right now. It was both complicated and strange, but one thing she was certain about was that she did not regret it.It was like a dream. In the dream, her bones and organs were all extracted from her body. There was both the paradox of being different and the trance of being awake.“You’re blaming yourself,” Jackie said as he collected the strands of hair stuck to her neck. He then landed a few light kisses on her and
Colton crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, “Do the Knowles have anything to do with you? Besides, I'm not that free.”Daisie pressed her lips tightly. Just when she was about to say something, Waylon put his hand on her shoulders and said, “Daisie, Uncle Jackie, and Aunt Violet have gotten back together, so I think it’s about time for us to leave Octavia.”He successfully distracted Daisie, and she scratched her cheek. “Are we going back today?”“Nope. We’re going back tomorrow,” he replied.“Alright, then. I should seize the chance and say goodbye to Aunt Violet,” Daisie said as she turned around to go back into the house.Waylon was still worried about it and turned his head to look at Colton. “Are you sure no one is going to know about it?”Colton was very confident in his skills. “Nope. Nobody is going to know about it. Even if they find something, the ID will show that the hacker is located in Octavia. We will already be in Bassburgh at that time, so no one is g
Jackie smiled. “We can have one ourselves.”The smile on Violet’s face froze as she smacked his hand away. “Go have your own baby!”Jackie chuckled and turned around to catch up to her.Two hours later, the plane landed at Bassburgh Airport.Quincy had been waiting for them at the entrance. When he saw the three rugrats coming out of the gate with their baggage, he opened the trunk and carried the luggage to the car for them.“Did you three enjoy yourselves in Octavia?”Daisie sat on the passenger seat and asked, “Where are Dad and Mom?”Quincy put on the seatbelt and replied, “Mr. and Mrs. Goldmann have spent so much time with you in Octavia, so of course, they're busy now.”When Daisie was about to say something, she noticed a purplish bruise on his neck despite his effort to cover it with the collar of his shirt. “Uncle Quincy, who bit your neck?”Waylon and Colton turned their heads to look at Quincy.Quincy was stumped and replied stiffly, “Well, I sprained my neck.”“R
Saydie placed the documents on the desk and asked after a while, “Does it look bad?”Maisie sneered. “Why doesn’t it look good? The most important thing is that you like it. You’re not wearing a skirt only to let others admire you. Women should only dress up to please themselves, not others.”After putting on a skirt, Saydie looked a little more feminine.Her appearance had always been above average, she had strong facial features, and a hint of heroic and assertive pride could be sensed coming through her eyes. She looked quite handsome when she dressed up as a man.Now that she had kept her hair at a longer length and worn a skirt, she was giving off a different vibe.As for why Saydie had suddenly undergone such a change, Maisie had seen through it but did not expose her. Thus, she did not ask much.After submitting the documents, Saydie left the office and ran into Quincy in the corridor.Quincy looked up, saw Saydie, and was slightly surprised. He was stunned for a few seco
‘After all, a man will surely be able to sense it when a woman has a thing for him.‘And if a man were to be a master at distinguishing b*tches, he’d definitely have a more critical and lethal vision than a woman who’s a pro at distinguishing scumbags.‘I’ve been by Mr. Goldmann’s side for such a long time, and I’ve seen all sorts of coquettish women. Even when it came down to Willow back then, I wouldn’t say that I had a good impression of her. It was just that I thought she was Mr. Goldmann’s savior. That was why I showed her some respect reluctantly.‘But Saydie is truly not pretending. Apart from being a pure and simple woman, she’s brutally honest too. There’s nothing that she wouldn’t say.‘If this is the case, I believe I’ve never laid a finger on her. After all, I was so drunk that I was powerless, but Saydie might have misunderstood the meaning behind sleeping together.’“Let me ask you something. Did you sleep with me the other night?”Saydie nodded.Quincy looked stra
