“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
Scarlet did not want to discourage Jim, but given his scumbag-like behavior in the past, even she would not choose to marry him if she were in Riley’s shoes.“I’ve already stood up for you in front of Riley, but she’s still unwilling to forgive you. She’s extremely determined not to get married to you. If you don’t want to stay single forever, you’d better marry someone else.” Scarlet wanted him to know that he should not have any hope in Riley anymore.“I didn’t ask you to stand up for me in front of her. Why are you being such a busybody?” Jim asked impatiently. He grabbed his car keys and attempted to leave.“Where are you going?” Scarlet immediately asked. She was afraid that he would cause trouble again.“I’m going to look for her. I’ll resolve my own problems. I hope you won’t interfere in my problems anymore!” Jim exclaimed. He had started to panic when he heard that Riley was leaving.Perhaps he should not have let her be. No matter how much she despised him and was enrage
Why was he headed to the airport? Was he coming here to send her off?She did not believe it. “Did he force you to lie to me so that I’d stay?” she asked.“I swear to God I’m not lying to you. He’s been sent to the hospital and it’s an emergency. I’m going to the hospital to see him later. If you don’t want to see him, you can leave. I’ll tell you about his condition later. However… I’m afraid that something bad might happen. If this is the last time that you’ll get to see him…” Sharon did not continue speaking. Riley already understood what she meant.“His life and death have nothing to do with me,” Riley said. She hung up the phone immediately.This was precisely what she thought. She pulled her luggage and attempted to leave. No matter if Jim lived or died, she did not want to see him one last time.Nevertheless, her footsteps gradually slowed down as she walked. What if he really lost his life this time around… If he died just like that, could she forgive him?Did she really
Scarlet held her breath and tightly grabbed onto the nurse. She begged her with a ragged voice, “You must rescue him. I beg you…” She could not lose her son. She could not accept the fact that she had to send him away when he was still so young! “We’ll definitely do our best to rescue him,” the nurse said. She then immediately headed over to the blood bank. Riley’s head was filled with the nurse’s words. The rescue may fail… Her mind instantly went blank. It was hard for her to imagine what would happen if Jim really lost his life in this car accident. Her heart throbbed painfully. She hated him so much to the extent that she had sworn not to see him ever again in this lifetime. However, why did her heart hurt so much when she heard that he was dying? A sense of suffocation filled her chest. It hurt her to even breathe. She had said out of anger that she hated him and did not want to see him. However, deep within her, she still had feelings for him! She did not want him
“I’m fine now. I’ve changed the time for my flight ticket. I’ll be leaving tomorrow.” Sharon stared at Riley’s pale face. She could not help but feel worried. “Must you leave now? Your complexion looks terrible. Why don’t you rest for a few days…” “I don’t need to. I know my own condition. Furthermore, I should’ve left today. This one-day delay has disrupted my plans.” “You’re… You’re not going to wait for him to wake up?” “Isn’t he still alive? Since he’s alright, why should I wait for him to wake up?” “You donated your blood to him, which means that you’re extremely worried about him. You haven’t fully let go of him, am I right?” Sharon did not know why Riley was avoiding him. After a brief silence, Riley said, “Yes, but so what? I’ll let go of him sooner or later.” She was confident in herself. “Aunt Scarlet told me that he got involved in a car accident while he was heading over to the airport to stop you from leaving. This means that he cares about you as well.”
Fern was not bothered about the scandal with Jeremy. She had heard about plenty of such incidents taking place in the entertainment industry.Nevertheless, she had always been focused on acting in films. She had never used someone else to gain popularity. She never expected someone else to use her for popularity either.As Lena had said, Jeremy was much more famous compared to her. He had no reason to use her for gaining popularity.She did not care about her fame, but she cared about her love for acting. Now that her contract was with Eugene, she needed his approval before she took on any projects. She thought that it was meaningless.Besides, she was now injured. She could not continue filming for the time being. Therefore, she did not have the mood to care about such things.Not long after Jeremy clarified their relationship, he headed to the hospital to visit Fern once again.This time, he was not holding a bouquet of blue roses in his hands. He was holding a large bouquet of
