“Darling, are you done admiring my body?” Dayton’s low chuckle rang out from above her head. Quincy winced awkwardly. “Go into the bathtub and lie down.” “But you haven’t finished taking off my pants.” “Haven’t I already removed your pants?” She looked at him. He was still wearing his… boxers. “Take it off on your own.” He grabbed her hand and stopped her from leaving. “You can’t only do things halfway. Besides, I’m injured now. It’s hard for me to undress on my own.” Quincy glanced at his injured hand and huffed. “Why did you jump into the ocean, then?” He could have asked his men to jump into the ocean to rescue Tia. Dayton glanced at her evaluatively and frowned. “Why do I feel like you’re being jealous right now?” She met his gaze and said everything honestly, “Yes, I’m jealous. You’re my man and my husband, but you got injured while rescuing another woman. How can I feel at ease about that?” After a brief pause, she asked, “Would you be happy if I got in
Quincy glanced at Dayton, who had a dark expression on his face. How had she never realized before that he feared taking medicine?“The doctor wouldn’t have prescribed any medicine to you if you didn’t need it. You’re injured and sick now. You must take your medicine,” she said gently as she coaxed him patiently. Dayton looked at the gentle woman before him. Although he did not want to take so many pills, her gentle demeanor convinced him to do so. “Will you feed me the pills every time?” He requested. Quincy smiled and said, “Sure, as long as you’re willing to take the pills.” She picked up the pills that the doctor had just prescribed him and said, “Come on and open your mouth. I’ll feed you.” Dayton really did as she said. She placed the pills in his mouth one by one and held the cup of water by his lips. “Drink some water.” He enjoyed the way she took care of him, but why did it feel like he was handicapped? Also, those pills tasted so bitter before he even sw
“Who are you? Why are you lurking around so late at night, scaring people?” Quincy patted her chest as she glared at the figure angrily. The lingering fear remained in her heart. She looked at the way he was dressed. Was he one of Dayton’s men? “Miss Quincy, don’t you know me?” the person asked in a low voice. He was afraid that someone else would discover him. From the tone of his voice, it sounded like both of them knew each other in the past. Quincy gave him a once-over and shook her head. “Who are you? Do we know each other?” “I’m Terry, your personal bodyguard. Do you really not remember me?” He looked at her bulging belly and laughed bitterly. “That’s right. If you remembered me, you wouldn’t become the wife of that bastard, Dayton Night, nor would you bear a child for him!” “Why are you scolding Dayton like that? Do you have a rivalry with him?” Quincy stared at him with suspicion. “I don’t hold a grudge against him. You’re the one who has a grudge against hi
Newton Corporation. Eugene fixed a cold gaze on Wyatt, who came in to give him a report. He said icily, “You mean that Asher Gibbs was the one who spread those rumors?” Wyatt nodded and said, “Yes, he bribed some people in the respective houses of all the elders of the Newton family and asked them to spread rumors that would damage the reputation of Madam. That’s why all the elders of the Newton household dislike her.” “How treacherous!” Eugene narrowed his gaze coldly. He did not expect a grown man like Asher to stoop so low. “President Eugene, shall I bring some men over to teach him a lesson and warn him to stay out of this?” Wyatt had enough of Asher a long time ago. How dare he try to snatch his boss’ woman?! “Do you think that you can get rid of someone like Asher through violence?” Eugene cast him a sideways glance. “This…” Wyatt thought about it intently. “If we aren’t going to resort to violence, are we going to have a logical debate with him instead?” If
Even after hearing what Eugene said, it seemed that Asher still did not intend to give up on Fern. He wanted to sabotage their marriage and was waiting for them to get a divorce.Eugene thought that Asher was just enraged because he did not manage to get together with Fern. He assumed that he was trying to vent the dissatisfaction within him by spreading rumors that would ruin Fern’s reputation. Now that they had met up, he realized that this was not the case. Asher was trying to do this just to snatch Fern back from him. He was still so insistent on getting together with her. It would be hard to make Asher give up on her. Eugene did not intend to say anything else. “If you’re planning to wait for us to get a divorce, you should continue doing so.” He then got up and looked down at Asher from above. “We’ll send out an invitation to you during each and every of our upcoming wedding anniversaries. However, you don’t need to attend the event.” He was trying to tell him that they
Fern did not understand why he was suddenly telling her something like that. She tilted her head to avoid his lips. She then looked straight at him and asked, “Why are you saying that?” Eugene’s gaze darkened as he lowered his voice. “Someone told me that you’d lose your freedom after marrying me.” She frowned before smiling again. “Who told you that?” “Take a guess.” He tried to keep up the suspense. She tried hard to think about it, but she could not figure it out. She then made a random guess. “Was it one of the elders of the Newton household?” He raised his brow and asked, “Would they care about your freedom?” Right, they only wanted her to leave Eugene since they believed that she was a bad omen. Suddenly, she thought of something. She asked hesitantly, “Was it Asher?” Eugene narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Asher? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be jealous if you address him that way?” “I’ve always addressed him that way…” “From today onward, you are
The wall behind her was cold, but the body of the man in front of her was warm. She was stuck in between the wall and his body. It felt icy and fiery hot at the same time. “Mmm… Don’t...” She wanted to hold him back, but he had lost all control. He lifted her legs and placed them around his waist... …The next morning, Fern’s entire body was so sore that it felt like it was about to break apart. Her legs, especially, felt like jelly. Her face heated up when she recalled how crazed Eugene was last night. “Are you awake?” Eugene’s strong arm wrapped around her waist from behind. He then pulled her into an embrace. She leaned her back against his sturdy chest. Lust lingered in the air surrounding them. “Why aren’t you getting up? You’ll be late for work.” She glanced at the clock on the bedside table. “I’ll just be late, then.” Anyways, nobody would dare tell him off for being late. “You can be late, but I can’t.” She then pushed his arm away from her and tried to ge
When Fern arrived at the company, she coincidentally ran into Asher, who was on his way out of the company. She called out to him. “Asher, are you free for a quick chat?” Asher glanced at his watch and said, “I have five minutes.” “Sure.” She walked toward the corner after speaking. He followed behind her. There was nobody else in this corner of the corridor. She turned around to look at him. “I invited you to my wedding, but you didn’t attend the ceremony,” she said. A complicated glint of emotions flashed across his gaze after he heard what she said. “You could make do without my blessing.” She fixed her gaze on him and asked, “Even if you don’t intend to give me your blessing, you shouldn’t attempt to sabotage my marriage, right?” The dark look in his eyes intensified. “Did Eugene complain about me to you?” “He didn’t complain about you. He just let me know what kind of person you truly are.” Up till now, she still found it hard to accept the fact that he had b
“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
