Colton hastily supported her and asked, “It has been so many months. Why do you still have morning sickness?”Her shoulders were trembling.Was she crying? He grabbed her shoulders and turned her over. “Freyja—”There were no tears in her eyes. Colton finally realized something and pulled her hand away. She had pressed her lips into a thin fine line.Colton grabbed her chin and asked, “Are you laughing at me?”She averted her gaze. Suddenly, he landed a kiss on her lips. Freyja placed her hands on his shoulder, and her gaze turned dazed for a moment.Since she did not push him away or resist, Colton carried her to the bed. At this moment, her senses returned to her, and she said, “Wait…”“It has been eight months…” Colton kissed her wrist, and his voice was coarse.They had only had sex once after she was pregnant. It happened about six months ago when she was in the third month of her pregnancy. At that time, she did not want to do it at all, and he did not finish the enti
After Shannon finished his wine, he looked at Zephir and said, “Zeph, with your participation in this film, I’m sure it’ll be a success!”Even though this was the first time he participated in directing as a vice director, he showed exceptional talent in artistic production and was appreciated by Shannon. Zephir chuckled. “It’s my honor that I could learn from you, Mr. Fallon.” James was sitting next to Daisie. When he heard the conversation between Zephir and Shannon, he whispered, “Hah, what a poser.”Daisie heard his mumble and bumped his elbow with her arm. “Stop talking and drink more wine.”James went closer to her and asked, “Does this fellow have a thing for you?”“What are you talking about? We’re just friends,” replied Daisie.“Well, you think he’s your friend, but he might not think the same way. I’m a man, and I know exactly what a man has on his mind just by looking at them,” James said as he looked at Zephir.Zephir gave him the vibe that he had been holding him
Zephir smiled. “What if I told you it’s because of you?” “Zephir, you…”She was stunned.‘What is he talking about?’Zephir stretched his arm forward and held a strand of her hair in his hand. Something flitted across his eyes as he continued. “I'm thinking that if we hadn't left the country to study, would I have had the opportunity to be the man standing by your side instead of watching you get married to someone else?”He had always known that she liked a boy named Nollace. He had assumed she would forget about that boy along with time. He believed that as long as he stayed by her side, she would forget about him and accept him.However, when he learned that she was going for the Drama, Theatre, and Film department in Yaramoor, he thought that if he could reunite with her, he would want to stand by her side. As such, he had given up the finance and business school and taken the directing course. By the time he returned to Zlokova, everything had changed.She still marrie
Edison, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror. “I’ve looked into Zephir Gosling’s identity and background. His mother is the once-popular actress Patricia Emerson. Patricia had given birth to a daughter before giving birth to Zephir, and the daughter is now the wife of the second heir of the Bouchers, Naomi Topaz. His cousin is the wife of the head of the Cliffords in Octavia, and the elder master of the Cliffords is Mr. Nolan Goldmann’s maternal grandfather.”Nollace rubbed the bridge of his nose.‘That fella has quite a few connections, huh?’Daisie lifted her head immediately. “Why are you investigating him?”Nollace squinted and opened his lips. “Because I’m jealous.”She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her legs on his thighs. “What’s there for you to be jealous of? The person that I like and love is you!”Edison pretended that he had not heard anything.Nollace picked her up, placed her on his thigh, pinched her chin, and chuckled. “What did you just s
“Of course.” James crossed his legs and responded with a hum. “After all, not many men can be like me. Even if the woman is someone that I like, I’ll stop having any idea about her as long as she has a man. That’s just my personal bottom line and principle.”She laughed. “Just like what you did with Freyja?”James lay back languidly. “I admit, I’m still very unreconciled about that. However, I only lost because of the order of our appearances. If I had known her earlier, Coleman would have never stood a chance.”When the crew’s vehicle arrived at the Coralia Hotel, Daisie and James got out of the car, got escorted by security into the hotel lobby, and checked themselves into the hotel.Daisie’s room was situated right next to James’. She stepped into the room with her luggage. Not long after, she heard the doorbell ring.She opened the door, and one of the receptionists was standing outside her room. “Ms. Vanderbilt, your room should be the penthouse suite.”She was startled. “Bu
Zephir withdrew his hand, nodded, took a look at Nollace, and immediately left the scene.Nollace looked at his back.‘He knew how to conceal his feelings and kept his emotions from surfacing. It seems that he’s quite a difficult rival to deal with.’At Blackgold…The news that two supervisors and a manager were fired from the company quickly spread to the ears of the personnel. Obviously, they all knew exactly what this act was for.Especially the employees who had discussed Freyja behind her backs, their faces stiffened and turned pale when they heard the news, for fear that it would be their turn next.In the administrative office…Leonardo reported the progress of the investigation, “Our men have been following them for two days and found that the relationship between the woman and her husband isn’t good. Her husband is working in a company, and he had an affair a year ago and divorced her.“The woman who the husband cheated with also happened to get pregnant before marriag
The phone kept ringing, so Jessie answered irritably, “I told you not to contact me ever again.”“Jessie, I really miss you. Please just allow me to meet you. I promise I’ll divorce that woman and marry you.”A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Jessie’s eyes. “I’ll let you meet me when you get divorced, for real. I don’t want to bear the infamy of being a homewrecker.”Jessie hung up the phone, and her expression looked gloomy.‘He wants to marry me? Just who does he think he is?‘Pfft, I only fooled around with him because he was willing to spend money on me, yet that b*stard actually took it seriously. How ridiculous.‘Even if I want to get married, I’ll only marry into a wealthy family. And the most suitable candidate will be the second son of the Goldmanns. Even though he already has a fiancée, as long as he hasn’t gotten married and the baby hasn’t been born, then I still have a chance.‘I figured out their relationship during the last six months. Deedee is a barrier that
Colton paused for a few seconds and asked, “Why would you ask so?”Freyja’s eyes dimmed. “Do you really believe in Dr. Blueman?”Colton stared at her and seemed to capture a trace of emotion from her gaze. He gave off a smile and stroked her cheek. “What are you thinking about? I believe in her only because of her profession.”After saying that, he was stunned.‘Was I explaining myself just now?’“I—”“I believe in you.” Freyja suddenly responded and paused for a split second, “Colton, I believe in you.”‘Perhaps it’s just me overthinking things. After all, judging from Deedee’s current situation, I can’t really doubt Jessie without any evidence other than someone else’s one-sided statement.’Two days later…Colton fetched Freyja back to the Seaview Villa and also picked Deedee up while they were on the way back.Deedee had become even more taciturn than before and did not talk much. After returning to the villa, she had been staying in the room.Freyja and Colton came to De
