Sharon could tell that Rue was feeling slightly suspicious. If her father had gone on a business trip, he did not have to send her here.She pulled Rue in front of her and caressed her soft hair. “Your father has gone on a long business trip this time. He’s afraid the nanny won’t be able to take good care of you, so he sent you over. Sebastian can keep you company. You can stay here happily and tell me anything, alright?”Rue was a sensitive person. After hearing what Sharon said, she no longer felt as worried. “Alright,” she said.Sharon thought about Fern. Her gaze faltered as she said, “Your mother… She's been busy filming lately, so she probably—”“I know. My father told me that she went to the mountains to film, and she doesn’t have access to a phone signal over there. Therefore, I can’t video call her every day for the time being. I’ll wait for her,” Rue said with a sincere smile on her innocent face. She was supportive of her mother’s endeavors. She was proud that her mother
She looked at him silently without saying anything. Eugene suppressed the burgeoning emotions within him. He was overcome with mixed emotions once more. “Are you not feeling well? I’ll call the doctor over.”The doctor came over at once. After inspecting her, he said, “Miss Thompson is awake now. That means that she has overcome the critical stage. However, her injuries are still extremely serious. She still needs to stay here for a few days of observation. We’ll move her to an ordinary patient ward once we confirm that she’s alright.”“Then, she’s now…”“Let her rest for a while and drink some water. You can feed her some food if she wants to eat something later. It’ll be alright as long as you don’t touch her wounds.”Fern remained silent throughout. She had heard what the doctors said. It seemed like her injuries were pretty serious.After the doctor left, she opened her mouth to say something. However, her voice was extremely rough and hoarse.Eugene heard her. He immediately
Eugene did not leave. Instead, he ordered his men to bring him a fresh change of clothes. He then bathed in the bathroom in the ward and changed into a new set of clothes.However, he had always prioritized his appearance. He shaved off the stubble that had grown out after days of not grooming himself, reverting to his usual smart and elegant demeanor. Nevertheless, his bloodshot eyes were still a sign that he had not gotten enough sleep.Although that was the case, his thoughts were all centered around Fern. There was no way that he would leave right now. Fern understood his temper well. She would not ask him to rest if he was not willing to do so. Furthermore, she felt extremely tired now after saying a few words. Eugene asked someone to prepare a nutritious meal for her. “Have some food, alright?” His attitude was way too good today. He was being so nice that it was hard for her to reject his offer. Fern met his gaze silently for a few seconds and responded with a singl
She smiled as a sweet look flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth obediently so he could feed her. After eating a mouthful of oats, she exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, the oats taste so good. Don’t tell me you cooked this yourself?” “I asked the cook at home to cook it,” he said honestly. “Huh? The cook from your house? In that case, does your family know about…” Did they know about her existence? “Don’t worry. Without my approval, the cook wouldn’t dare to say anything.” He did not want his family to interfere in their relationship as well. Fern sighed in relief. “That’s good.” He raised his brow. “What’s wrong? Do you feel pressured being my girlfriend?” “A little.” “Be more confident in yourself, silly,” he said as he tapped her delicate nose with his hand. The tone of his voice exuded love and adoration. Fern had thought that it was the best day ever. He was so gentle as he fed her with care. At that moment, she had told herself that she must marry him a
After the news that Fern had woken up was released, Jeremy really came over to visit her.Jeremy held a large bouquet of blue roses in his hands. He was dressed casually but still gave off a great aura that matched his status as a superstar. He looked bright and handsome.“Fernie, you’re finally awake. The filming crew and I were extremely worried about you,” Jeremy said.“It’s my fault for making you guys worried,” Fern replied courteously.“You can’t be blamed for this. Nobody expected the horse to suddenly go berserk,” Jeremy said as he put the flowers into a vase. “I don’t know what flowers you like but I saw these blue roses when I was passing by the florist today. They were just flown in today, so I bought some. I hope you like them.”Fern looked at the blue roses. Even if he did not know what type of flowers she liked, he should know that this type of flowers should not be gifted to just anyone, right? Fern did not express her emotions. She simply smiled and said, “Thank
“Don’t blame me for reminding you about this, but it’s useless even if you’ve fallen for him. You’re already a married woman. Furthermore, would he still fall for you if he knows that you already have a daughter?” Fern frowned. “A married woman? I’m still single right now,” she said.She kept refusing to admit that they were both in a relationship.“Is that what you think? You’re single? If you are, who am I to you?” Eugene huffed coldly.“You’re my boss. Isn’t that so?”“If I’m just your boss, why do you still sleep on the same bed as me?”He just wanted her to acknowledge their relationship.“You’re just being stubborn and in denial,” she said. She did not want to have anything to do with him, but he was simply unwilling to let her go.“Do you mean to say that I’m stubbornly latching onto you?” “Isn’t that the truth?” She gazed at him coldly. Their gazes clashed in the air. After a while, the corners of his lips tugged into a smile that lacked sincerity. “You can think
“Really? Congratulations to you and me! I’m going to be a godmother again!” Riley exclaimed. She was sincerely happy for Sharon after she told her that she could keep her child. Sharon had been much more relaxed these two days. However, after hearing what Riley said, her smile gradually vanished. “How’s your body recuperating? Do I need to accompany you to the hospital to do a check-up?” Sharon asked her. She recalled how badly she had argued with Jim in order to keep her child back then. However, she eventually lost her child.Riley liked kids a lot, but she could not have her own child. She must be extremely upset whenever she thought about it.Riley’s gaze faltered. Her voice softened as she said, “I’m alright. I’ve already gone for a check-up and I’m recuperating well. I can have a child in the future if I want to, but… I don’t think I’ll want to have a child again.”There was not a man who was worth her bearing a child for.“Isn’t it too early for you to say that? You ma
“Are you here today to make him seem like a good person in front of me?” Riley interrupted her suddenly. Scarlet shook her head and said, “Of course not. I just want to let you know that Jimmy isn’t as cool about it as you might think he is. He regrets everything now. He also told me that he wants to marry you. He realized that he has feelings for you.” Riley finally understood why Scarlet was here after registering her words. Instead of trying to portray him as a good person, she was here to convince her. “Do you think anything will change if you tell me this?” She no longer cared about what Jim thought. She no longer cared if he had feelings for her. “Both of you have been together for such a long time. You have feelings for him as well. Since your feelings are reciprocated, don’t miss out on each other. Both of you should get married,” Scarlet advised her. Scarlet had always been worried about her son’s marriage. There were too many women around him, yet none of his r
