Eugene caught sight of the old master lying on the bed after entering the emergency room. There was a ventilator covering his nose and mouth, but he was panting heavily. He seemed to be in critical condition.“Grandfather!” Eugene took a few steps over and held the old man’s hand tightly. A sense of heaviness enveloped his chest. Old Master Newton fixed his muddled gaze on his grandson. He held his hand with all his might. His lips trembled as he spoke, “Eugene…” He had been waiting for him. “Grandfather, it’s me. The doctors are going to treat you. You’ll be fine.” The old master understood his own situation well. “I understand my body better than they do. Listen to me… After I pass on, you must look after the Newton household…” The more he spoke, the more he started panting erratically. Eugene’s heart lurched painfully. “What nonsense are you saying? Nothing will happen to you!” “Did you hear what I said?” The old master held his hand tightly. He was losing the streng
Eugene suddenly let go of her and turned around to look at the doctor coldly. The doctor left the room in fear at once. Fern held him back and comforted him in a soft, gentle voice. “Eugene, let Grandfather pass on peacefully. We need to prepare for his funeral now.” Eugene lowered his head to look at her. He pursed his lips without saying anything. She could tell that he was extremely upset from the stiff expression on his face. She reached out to hug him. “Death is a natural phenomenon in life. Grandfather has gone to another world to continue living. Don’t be too upset.” His gaze darkened as he fixed it on her. Perhaps he had decided to listen to what she said. “Sorry, I should be giving you an unforgettable wedding today, but you need to prepare for a funeral with me now.” She deliberately showed him a rigid expression and said, “You’re wrong. I’m your wife. Of course, I must do everything by your side.” Her words made his heart flutter. His gaze on her darkened as h
Quincy realized that Dayton had suddenly fallen silent. She raised her head to look at him. She then noticed that he was frowning. There was a heavy and cold expression on his face too.“What’s wrong? Was I really bad at making friends in the past? Did I not have many friends?” She minded this a lot. Dayton touched his nose and refused to look at her. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, you were pretty poor at making friends.”“Why?” She had a look of confusion on her face. Did she have such a lousy personality in the past? “Because…” Dayton played with the strands of her hair using his long and slender fingers. “As a young miss, you had a terrible temper. Nobody dared to offend you, so everyone avoided you.” Quincy frowned. She tried her best to recall the past, but nothing came to mind. Did she really have such a bad temper back then? “Tell me about how bad my temper was.” How could she not even have a single friend? Dayton fixed his dark, almond-shaped eyes on her and
All of the family members of the Newton household were here to send the old master off one last time.Everyone was dressed in black. There were white flowers pinned on their chests as well. Almost a hundred family members of the Newton household crowded in front of the old master’s grave. As the head of the household, Eugene stood in front. Meanwhile, Fern stood beside him. They had just completed their wedding ceremony, but they had to hold a funeral today. It was pretty inauspicious. However, Fern did not mind it at all. Although the old master was not really accepting of her in the past, he was Eugene’s grandfather, which meant that he was her grandfather as well. It started drizzling after the funeral ended. A subordinate held up an umbrella for both of them. Eugene held Rue’s hand with one of his and wrapped his other arm around Fern’s waist. They all left together. Just then, they heard someone complain, “That’s her. I heard that she’s a bad omen. When the old ma
Eugene swept his cold gaze across everyone present at the funeral and said, “This is my last time saying this. I don’t want to hear anyone bad-mouthing my wife anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me for falling out with you. If anyone wishes to leave the Newton household, I’d gladly honor your wish.” All the family members of the Newton household took a sharp breath after hearing what he said. They all exchanged looks with each other. They did not dare to say anything although they were still unwilling to accept his words. After Eugene finished speaking, he ignored the expressions on their faces and left the cemetery with his wife and daughter. They then got in the car and left. Fern looked at Eugene, who still had an unpleasant expression on his face. She could not help but ask, “Weren’t your words too harsh?” “What words?” Eugene turned around to look at her. He then raised his brow and asked, “Do you mean when I asked them to leave the household?” He did not think so. “Sinc
“Huh? Really?” Both of them stared at the protruding part of her stomach and started investigating it. When Tia heard that Dayton wanted to bring Quincy over for a vacation, she stubbornly insisted on following them. She ran to the seaside and saw both of them sitting on a bench under the tree while acting all lovey-dovey. A sense of suffocation instantly overcame her. She clenched her hands into fists and ran over at once. “Dayton, I heard that we can go fishing in the ocean. Can you bring me along?” She walked over and grabbed Dayton’s arm. She then shook it in a coquettish manner. Dayton frowned and removed her hand. “If you want to go fishing, you can ask the manager here to bring you. He should know more about it than me.” “But… I want you to come with me.” Tia pouted and cast a pleading gaze at him. “I’m not free.” Dayton ignored her.“You seem pretty free now.” Tia was slightly angered. She glared at Quincy, who was seated beside him. Quincy glanced at T
Dayton pondered upon it for a while. He had never shelled a prawn for Tia before. Perhaps she had remembered wrongly. She might be lying on purpose as well. He spoke to her with a cold expression on his face, “No such thing has ever happened.” Tia immediately said loudly, “Of course, it has. How could you have forgotten it?” She placed the prawn in front of him and asked, “Help me shell it, okay?” The tone of her voice was extremely coquettish. Dayton remained impassive. He pushed the prawn back to her and said, “Do it yourself if you want to eat it.” “You…” Tia pouted. She was extremely angered. Quincy watched the interactions between both of them. Tia was being too unreasonable. However, she started craving the garlic prawn after having a whiff of the aroma just now. She turned around to look at the man beside her. She blinked her eyes and said, “I feel like eating it.” Dayton had yet to process her request. “Huh? Which dish do you want?” As soon as he finishe
...Quincy felt slightly tired at night. She prepared to return to her room to rest. The sky was dark outside. Gray clouds loomed across the sky whereas strong gusts of ocean breeze raged outside. It seemed that it was about to rain heavily. The manager of the island, Mr. Cabot, walked into the room in a hurry and told Dayton, “Young Master Night, the young woman who came with you took a cruise out. She hasn’t come back yet. Given the current weather conditions, there’s going to be a storm soon. You should contact her at once and ask her to come back.” Dayton did not expect Tia to take a cruise out into the ocean alone after their argument. He looked at the raging ocean breeze outside. He knew that it was easy for a boat to get overturned during such weather conditions. Anyone who fell into the ocean would lose their life. Although Tia had said something she was not supposed to, she was still his aunt’s family member. He could not let anything happen to her here. He p
