“You don’t need to say anything. It has been decided,” Hayley said. She huffed loudly and left. Quincy’s lips twisted into a sarcastic smile as she stared at Dayton, asking, “Do you want to marry me that badly? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll stab you to death in the middle of the night after we get married?” Dayton stuffed one of his hands into his pocket and said, “Do you think that I’ll allow something like that to happen? Take care of your injuries. Don’t do anything foolish or cause a ruckus.” He then told Sharon, “Continue counseling her.” He then turned around and left. He had to discuss his marriage with his aunt. Once he turned around, Quincy grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “You should give up! I’d rather die than get married to you!” The pillow crashed into Dayton’s back. Although the pillow did not hurt, her words did. He turned around and sneered at her, “You don’t have the right to reject!” After that, he left with large strides. “You… How despicable!”
“I’m here to tell you that her emotions are still pretty unstable. I’ve prepared scented candles so that nothing will happen when she sees you later for dinner.”Sharon then opened the box in her hands. “These scented candles contain my signature fragrances. They’ll calm one’s emotions down. You should ask someone to light them up and place them in the dining room.” Dayton looked at the scented candles in her hands. He raised his brow and asked, “Will this work?” “You don’t believe me? Fine.” She covered the box and proceeded to leave. “Hey, hold up,” Dayton called out to her. He then waved his hand and called over the servants. “Do as she says.” However, Sharon was not willing to give him the candles now. “You don’t believe me, so I’d better keep them for someone who needs them.” “I believe you, I believe you. Is that enough?” Dayton had gotten enough of her. “What kind of attitude is that?” Sharon asked as she cast a sideways glance at him. Dayton took in a deep b
She reached out and tried to pick up her fork, but she felt severe pain in her arm the moment she raised it. She took a deep breath and tried to withstand the pain as she lifted the fork. However, she did not manage to hold it. The fork fell to the ground at once. One of the servants picked up the fork from the floor and gave her a new one. Quincy was extremely upset. Could she not even lift a fork on her own?Dayton Night was the one who had inflicted all of these injuries on her! “Your hand is badly injured. You’d better not try to eat on your own. Tell me what dishes you’d like to eat,” Sharon told her when she saw her struggling to eat on her own. “Push her over here,” Dayton told the servants. His heart lurched when he thought about the injuries on her arm and how Quincy could not even lift a fork on her own. Before Quincy could reject him, the servants did as he said. They pushed her to the empty space beside Dayton. Alarm bells rang out in her head as she glar
The garden was rather chilly late at night. Quincy sneezed. Dayton realized that she was dressed in thin clothes. He took off his coat and instinctively covered her with it. “It’s alright, let’s just head back. Your body may not be able to take it.” Quincy felt a warm sensation on her shoulders. His body warmth still lingered on his coat. She wanted to take it off and give it back to him immediately. However, her hand stopped when she took hold of the coat. She remembered what Sharon had told her. She should endure it for the time being. Dayton sent her back to her room. She did not say anything to him on their way back. “You’d better rest earlier.” He did not know what to say to her either. The cold expression on her face made her seem extremely distant. “Wait,” Quincy suddenly called out to him.He turned around and looked at her in confusion. “You…” She clenched her hand into a fist and said, “Read a book for me. I can’t fall asleep.” Dayton looked at her in st
After a while, he let go of her and stood up straight. He stuffed one of his hands into his pocket as an ambiguous smile formed on his lips. “I can stand guard over you while you sleep, but you must remember this. I’m not your bodyguard anymore. I’m your future husband.” Quincy took a sharp breath. Her future husband? He could only imagine! “In your dreams.” She pulled the sheets up around herself, closed her eyes, and ignored him.She was actually carefully listening to his movements. She did not hear the sound of his footsteps leaving the room. Instead, she felt him sitting down on the sofa next to her. Her racing heart calmed down. It was fine as long as he did not leave.Dayton wanted to leave after she fell asleep, but he gradually felt more and more exhausted.He leaned on the single-seater couch and closed his eyes with a fuzzy mind. He then fell asleep.Sometime later, the room fell silent. Quincy turned around to look at him. He was asleep on the couch.“Dayto
Quincy had no idea how she managed to stab him. Her mind went ablaze as rage and anger surged within her. She gripped the knife tightly and stabbed him with it instinctively. She did not know why Dayton did not evade or try to stop her. He was wide awake. He had the ability to stop her... Warm blood splattered across her face as her body lurched. She let go of the knife. It was lodged in his body! She stared at him as her face paled. She had never killed anyone. Would he die just like that... Although she always talked about wanting to kill him, she was overcome with nerves now that she had done it. However, when she remembered that he had murdered her parents and ruined her family, she thought that he deserved to die! “Quincy Lane…” Dayton gritted his teeth as he called out her name. His dark eyes turned bloodshot as he exuded a hostile sense of coldness. Quincy’s hand was stained with his blood. She retreated instinctively and pretended to be calm. She said coldl
She could look for the seniors who previously supported her father. They had yet to acknowledge that ungrateful bastard, Dayton Night, as the inheritor of the Night Empire. Her gaze lit up as she told Sharon, “I won’t be leaving the country. I know where to go now. Thank you for helping me this time around.” “This is nothing, but… you’d better be careful on your own,” Sharon reminded her. “It’s alright, I won’t die.” Quincy was filled with firm determination. She then told them, “Just stop the car up ahead.” She had to carry out her duties. “You’re asking us to stop here?” Sharon asked in confusion. They were in the middle of nowhere.“Yes.” Sharon guessed that she wanted to do so because she did not want too many people to know her whereabouts. The chauffeur followed her request and stopped the car.Quincy looked at Sharon after getting down the car. She said intently, “You helped me this time. I owe you one. If you need my help in the future, please let me know.” Sha
“Mommy, is this child really my biological sister?” Sebastian learned that he suddenly had a younger sister after returning home from boarding school. “Yes, she’s your sister.” Sharon kept smiling as she looked at her daughter. She only had eyes for her daughter right now. “Huh? Isn’t she the child that Daddy had with another woman?” Sebastian had not forgotten about Diana although he had not been home for a few months. Sharon pressed her lips into a thin line after hearing what he said. Her gaze then moved away from her daughter and landed on him. She told him sternly, “She belongs to your daddy and me, not another woman.”“Are you sure?” Sebastian was still in a state of disbelief. He suddenly had a younger sister in the blink of an eye.“I’m very sure. Don’t suspect her identity. You’re her biological brother.”Sebastian had always wanted to have a sibling, but he got rid of that thought after knowing that his mommy had lost her last baby.“I’m older than her by more th
