After playing for the entire day, Rue was tired at night.Fern had helped her take a shower. She was now blow-drying her hair for her.The little girl lay her head on Fern’s lap. Her dark hair was spread out across her legs.Fern looked at her daughter. Rue was getting prettier as time passed. This made her want to protect her even more. “Mommy, I was very happy today,” Rue suddenly said.“I’m very happy too,” she replied.Rue immediately raised her head to look at her. “Really?” She fixed her gaze on her to make sure that she was telling the truth.Fern turned off the switch of the hairdryer after drying Rue’s hair. She smiled and told her, “Of course.”Rue sat up and stared at her. “Are you happy when you spend time with Daddy?”Fern had just put down the hairdryer. She was slightly stunned after hearing the question. She turned around and met Rue’s gaze with a smile. “Yes, I’m happy.” “I realize that I’m very happy whenever I get to spend time with you and Daddy.” Rue he
However, she could not bring herself to forget about Rue’s words. Had Eugene and Sydney really never slept in the same room before? After Rue fell asleep, Fern cautiously walked out of the room. She headed to the living room to drink some water. However, she caught sight of someone seated on the sofa. “Asher?” She was shocked. She did not know when Asher had come. “You were accompanying Rue to bed just now, so I didn’t disturb you guys.” He got up and walked toward her. “Is Rue asleep?” “Yes, she just fell asleep.” She reached out to take a cup and pour some water for herself, but he moved faster than her. He poured her a cup of water and handed it to her. “Thank you.” Asher watched her drink the water. He then asked, “Did both of you go out with Eugene Newton today?” “Yes, he brought Rue to the aquarium. Rue hasn’t been so happy in a long time.” “How about you? Were you happy?” he suddenly asked as he fixed his gaze on her. Fern was stunned. She turned h
“Asher, you’re overthinking. I believe that Eugene won’t do something like that to me.” Fern did not want to argue with him anymore. “You believe in him?” Asher was shocked. “How can you believe in him?” “That’s enough, Asher. I’m really tired today. I would like to rest earlier. Please go back,” Fern said. Asher wanted to continue convincing her to keep her distance from Eugene, but he had no choice but to stop since she did not want to continue speaking to him anymore. However, he was not willing to give up just like that. “Alright, you should take some rest. Let’s talk after you’ve rested.” Fern frowned. Did he still want to talk about this? Asher stopped pestering her. He turned around and left. Fern pinched her brow. She felt like Asher was being way too sensitive about the things between her and Eugene. ...Fern wanted to accompany Rue for some time before returning to the company. She could not continue taking leaves. Besides, Rue was doing much better no
Why did Old Master Newton suddenly want to snatch Rue away from her? She panted softly. It was hard for her to contain the anger within her. Her hands trembled slightly as she took out her phone from her pocket and called Eugene. Eugene had just ended a meeting. When he accepted her call, he thought that it was from Rue. “Hello, Rue?” “It’s me.” Fern’s breath had yet to even out. “Huh, what’s wrong?” Eugene was taken aback by the fact that she had taken the initiative to call him. “Your grandfather sent his men over to take Rue away. He wants Rue to move back into the Newton household,” Fern said. Eugene frowned after registering her words. “My grandfather?” What was the old man up to? “Yes, his bodyguards snatched her away from me by force. Are you going to handle this?” Eugene’s gaze darkened as he said, “Of course, I’ll handle this.” He had conceded to all of the old master’s requests, but the old master still behaved so rashly. It seemed that he could n
Eugene thought that what the old master had said was funny. “Grandfather, what do you mean that I’m under their control?” The old master huffed coldly and said, “I asked you to keep your distance from that woman, but you refused to listen to me and even spent the night at her place. Are you purposely doing this to show me or have you forgotten that you’re a married man?” Eugene narrowed his eyes and asked, “How do you know where I spent the night? Did you hire people to spy on me?” The old master’s expression darkened as he slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “That’s ridiculous! Do I still need to do something like that at such an elderly age? I may not know your whereabouts, but the person sleeping next to you every day should know, right?” The person sleeping next to him every day? Eugene frowned and thought about it. He asked coldly, “Are you referring to Sydney?” The old master still had a rigid expression on his face. “Who else would I be talking about?” H
Sydney started panicking. This was an unpredicted turn of events!Eugene stared straight at her and questioned, “You said that I’m unwilling to go back home because you did something wrong. Did you tell my grandfather what you did wrong?” Sydney’s heart thumped loudly. “I…” She clasped her hands together, suddenly finding it hard to say anything. Eugene fixed his sharp and piercing gaze on her, continuing to question her in a forceful manner. “Why didn’t you tell my grandfather that I spent the night at Fern’s place to accompany Rue? The child’s mental state is in shambles right now. That’s because she’s suffering from psychological trauma after what you and your mother did to her!” Sydney’s heart lurched as her body swayed. She almost lost her balance. She took two steps back. The old master frowned after hearing what Eugene said. He asked them sternly, “What happened to Rue? How did she get hurt?” Sydney’s face paled as she rushed over to grab Eugene’s hand. She spoke t
The old master was rather stubborn on this matter. He wanted Rue to stay with him. Eugene carried Rue in his arms and turned around to look at his grandfather. “Thank you for your good intentions, Grandfather. However, Rue won’t be able to get used to living with you. Besides, she needs me and Fernie right now,” he said politely. “Daddy, I don’t want to stay here,” Rue said softly as she hugged him tightly. “Yes, I’ll bring you away now.” Eugene turned around to leave. The old master spoke up again, “Wait.” He stared at Eugene coldly and asked, “Are you still going to send her back to that woman’s place? Do you think you can use Rue as an excuse to rekindle your relationship with her?” Eugene did not expect the old master to speak in such a straightforward manner. He frowned and was just about to say something when Rue spoke loudly, “Daddy and Mommy have always had feelings for each other. They’ll get back together sooner or later.” Sydney could no longer suppress her
After making the announcement, he ignored the expression on the old master’s face and just how angry he was at him. He carried his daughter and left. Sydney started to panic when she saw him leaving. “Grandfather…” Was the old master unable to control him as well? The old master felt annoyed when he saw her. He shouted angrily, “Why are you still here? Scram!” Sydney’s heart lurched. She did not dare to say anything else. She ran out after Eugene in a hurry. Eugene let Rue get into the car outside. He was just about to get in as well when Sydney ran over. “Wait, Eugene!” He stood beside the car and looked at her with a cold expression on his face. “Eugene, are you really going divorce me?” she asked in a shaky voice. There was an impassive expression on Eugene’s face. He spoke to her in an even tone, “I’ll discuss this with you.” It meant that he was really going to divorce her. As he turned around to get in the car, Sydney grabbed his hand. She glared at him i
“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
