He did not tell her what was in his mind. He just shook his head and said, "I'm just a bachelor, so I'm alright staying anywhere.""So are you saying that if you get yourself a girlfriend, you’ll start a family?" Candace asked directly.It was as if that question muddled him, and after thinking for a long time, he replied, "I’ve never thought of looking for a girlfriend."Candace's expression subtly changed as she kept staring at him, saying, "Then what about me? If I want to be in a relationship with you, will you consider me?"Initially, Claude was stunned, and then, he was anxious. 'Is she confessing to me?'"You…" His body tensed up and he was so nervous that he did not know how to answer.Candace became more proactive and immediately grabbed his hands that were placed on the table. "Don't you like me even the slightest? Am I that terrible?""I… No…" His palms were drenched with sweat."So that means you don't hate me and you can accept me?" she continued to ask."Yes… No…
"It's not that I don't wish to marry you, but we just got together not long ago. I just want to get to know you more before making any decisions. I don't wish for you to end up regretting it."Marriage was not a joking matter. Besides, he knew that he was lacking in certain aspects and was afraid she might suffer being with him.In fact, Candace was well aware of it. She was indeed rushing things by asking him to meet her mother. However, if she did not do that, her mother would keep pestering her every day.Eventually, her mother would think that she was lying and she would continue looking for other men to arrange more blind dates."I believe in my taste. You're the man I’ll rely on for the rest of my life. I don't wish to miss this opportunity and want to become your wife as soon as possible." She directly confessed to him.Claude was stunned, and his stunning face suddenly blushed. He did not expect a woman to be more proactive than him.His dark and crystal clear eyes stared
"Stop being stubborn. It's been quite some time since you've been by my side. How can I not know that something is troubling you?"After being stared at by Simon's sharp gaze, Claude finally blurted out, "President Zachary, I… just wanted to ask you. What present should I prepare if it's my first time meeting my girlfriend's parents?""Oh? So you're saying that you'll be meeting Miss White's parents?" Simon was impressed at his quick progress."I’m meeting her mother. Her mom is a teacher." He had told Candace that he knew what to get for her mother, but it was only not to worry her. He had no experience in this matter and just could not think of anything despite thinking for a very long time."This is easy to settle. I'll have it prepared for you when the time comes," Simon said.Claude did not wish to trouble Simon. "I don't think this is appropriate, right?""I have the right to interfere in your marriage. If you believe in me, then let me help you out." He just needed to prep
Candace was from a regular working-class family. Both her parents were teachers and she was also a teacher herself as she had followed the plans her parents set for her. She was considered to have a family background that was still acceptable.In the black box that Claude gifted Mrs. White, there were a few golden accessories and a string of jade pearls. They had to be expensive!Hence, when such a set of jewelry was presented, it left Mrs. White astonished."This… This must be very expensive, right?" Mrs. White stuttered.Candace looked at Claude. 'He’s just a bodyguard. Where did he get the money to buy such expensive jewelry?'However, I have to admit that this set of jewelry is indeed suitable for my mother.'"They’re not that expensive. As long as you like them, Aunt." Claude put on a carefree look. That set of jewelry was just 300 million dollars, and he found it worth the price.Mrs. White noticed him speaking so casually and assumed that he was from a rich family.In no
"I'm also doing this for your good. You have high academic qualifications. If you find a husband who’s not of equal standard, you guys won’t have any common topics to talk about in the future. I don't wish to see you regret it. So, it's best if you break up with him now." Mrs. White immediately gave her order.Candace looked at her mother, finding it hard to believe. 'Just because of Claude's academic qualification, she’s asking me to break up with him?'"Mom, can you be more rational about this? Academic qualifications aren’t important in my decision to be with him. We both have feelings for each other!” Candace patiently said to her mother."I've already said that you guys aren’t a match for each other. If you get married to him, you’ll only suffer. I don't agree with you guys being together," Mrs. White said with an ice-cold expression."Aunt, what you said earlier is wrong. My annual salary is seven figures, and sometimes, I earn more than that as well. As for my academic quali
"Of course not. I'm just afraid Aunt will be too angry and it’ll affect her health. Just go back with her and try to talk to her first," said Claude.Candace heard him and let out a breath of relief. As long as Claude was not giving up on their relationship, she would not give up on him.Despite her mother not agreeing to let them be together, she would not just ignore her mother. Hence, she nodded her head. "Alright. Then I'll take my leave now. Remember, don't ever break up with me."Claude said with a smile, "I should be the one saying that to you."Candace finally calmed down and looked at him with an unusually passionate gaze.Mrs. White dragged her daughter away after seeing her passionate gaze. "That's enough, let's go!" She would never allow her daughter to be together with such a man.Candace followed her mother back home, and both of them had awful expressions on their faces."Candace, break up with that man immediately. You're not allowed to keep in touch with him aga
Claude was very worried about Candace. After all, he had no idea about her condition.From far away, Sebastian had witnessed his master getting the door slammed shut in front of him. He ran over to Claude and asked, "Your future mother-in-law isn’t letting you visit Miss White? She hates you this much?'Claude frowned. He would not behave aggressively to Mrs. White, or else, she would be even more determined to not let him be together with Candace.'I can't force my way in, so what can I do?'"Master, I have a way to let you meet Miss White. Listen to me…" Sebastian pulled his sleeve, making him bend forward. Sebastian started muttering in his ear."I don't think that's a good idea, though." Claude did not quite agree to it after hearing Sebastian's idea."Right now, this is the only way for you to meet Miss White. You can choose whether you wanna go along with it." Sebastian allowed him to make the final call.For the sake of meeting Candace, Claude finally agreed to Sebastian'
When Mrs. White was walking to the house, she was still cursing. "Just which family is that impetuous brat from?! How dare he just run away after breaking my glass window? One day, I'll find that brat!"Mrs. White was already very mad, and when she returned home, she saw Claude entering her house. He even wanted to sneak her daughter out as well!She quickly increased her pace and blocked the door. "You… Who allowed you to enter my house? You're invading private territory! You're even thinking of kidnapping my daughter as well? I'm calling the police to arrest you!"Mrs. White knew that she was unable to fight a huge man like Claude, especially when he was a top-notch personal bodyguard. She had no choice but to report to the police to save her daughter.Claude and Candace were shocked as they did not expect her to return so soon. They even bumped into her.He could not bring Candace away anymore.In the past few days, Candace had been forcibly locked up in the room by her mother
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
