She would not tell Tia anything no matter how much she asked her about it. Tia felt that something was off. She kept this in mind. She had to pay attention to Dayton and her aunt’s actions. …A group of people walked out of the airport’s VIP passage. “Mommy, is this your hometown?” A little girl with short, curly hair and delicate facial features that made her look like a doll asked. She looked extremely adorable. The woman she called her mommy had short, cropped hair. She was dressed in black leather shirt and pants. She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses as well. She looked extremely cool. Quincy Lane took off her sunglasses and looked at the sky outside the airport. This was the shade of blue that she was used to. She had left this place for many years. “Yes, this is my hometown.” She had missed her hometown a lot, but she hated this place because of that man’s existence as well. “Mommy, are we going to stay here for some time?” Little Cupcake raised her head
At night, Quincy brought her daughter to the Sulllivans’ place just in time for the welcome dinner. The Sullivans had prepared a welcome dinner for them. They were waiting for their arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan had two daughters. Their eldest daughter was married, so she was not at home. Their younger daughter was unmarried, so she stayed at home. She was Carter Sullivan’s illegitimate daughter but was recognized as part of the family. “Miss Quincy, you’re here. Welcome in,” Carter Sullivan greeted them at the door with his wife and daughter. “Thank you for greeting us.” Quincy chuckled. “It’s a must. Without you, the Sullivans wouldn’t be where we are today.” Carter welcomed them into the house as he said, “Come in at once.” “Oh, what an adorable little girl. Miss Quincy, is she your daughter?” Mrs. Sullivan asked with a smile. “Yes. Greet everyone, Little Cupcake.” Little Cupcake spoke obediently, “Nice to meet you, aunt and uncle.” She then turned around to
Quincy glanced at Renee, who was seated opposite her. Renee had started eating without paying them any mind. She smiled and said, “I admire you for having such a pretty daughter as well.” Mrs. Sullivan glanced at Renee. She was not even her biological child. What was there to admire about her? “Sis Quincy, don’t praise me for being pretty. I’m afraid that everything will backfire on me,” Renee said after taking a sip of her wine. “Backfire? What do you mean?” Quincy did not understand. Renee shrugged and said confidently, “I know that I was born with a beautiful appearance, but I don’t need others to praise me for that. What if God hears the praises and decides to take back all my beauty?” Quincy did not understand why she had such thoughts. She simply smiled and said, “I won’t praise you, then.” “What kind of beauty do you think you were born with? You’re not being serious at all,” Carter reprimanded his daughter. An ambiguous smile formed on Mrs. Sullivan’s face
When Quincy heard that Renee had agreed to go on a blind date with Dayton, she was beyond shocked. “Are you sure? Don’t take into account how devoted he is. He was once married and has a child as well. Don’t you mind that at all?”She voiced up because she did not want Renee to fall into Dayton’s trap. He was not a good person at all.He was an extremely cruel person. Nobody knew that better than she did.Renee smiled cheerily and said, “It’s fine. I’m just going to meet him. He may not like me. If he still hasn’t forgotten his ex-wife, he won’t fall for me.”Quincy still wanted to say something but Renee was right. Dayton was extremely unpredictable. If he could not use her to his advantage, he would not even bother looking at her.After eating, Carter invited Quincy to his study for a discussion.Quincy asked Little Cupcake to play with Renee in the garden.In the study, Carter showed her all of the company’s financial reports and investment projects from the last quarter of t
Back then, she thought that Dayton was the best husband in the world. She thought that he would be the best father in the world as well. Her emotions were unstable, so her pregnancy did not go smoothly. She had to stay at home all the time to stabilize the child. On that day four years ago, she was sitting on the swing in the garden due to her boredom. He came home and sat on the swing with her. He could tell that she was extremely down and bored, so he told her that he would bring her to an island to relax. He even put down all his work to accompany her and their child. She really admired him when she thought about how he managed to act like the perfect husband while using her. He made it seem like he was extremely caring and thoughtful toward her. It was as if she was the center of his world. Finally, she understood that he did so much for her just because of the child in her womb. She still remembered everything from the past clearly. However, she was not as upset
Quincy looked at Renee, who was laughing out loud. Her hair and long dress billowed in the night breeze, which made her seem all the more enchanting and alluring. Her smile was radiant whereas her eyes shone brightly. She exuded a sense of confidence. Someone like that made others feel like approaching her, especially someone like Quincy, whose heart was filled with darkness a long time ago due to the trauma she experienced. Renee was just like a charming sunflower. Quincy wanted to approach her to get some warmth from her, but she did not dare to do so. “Sis Quincy, my father always mentions that you’re extremely skilled in business. There isn’t a deal that you can’t manage to win. I want to learn from you as well. Will you be willing to teach me?” Renee told her about her thoughts. Quincy felt slightly taken aback. “Do you want to learn about how to run a business?” Renee nodded, then shook her head. “Not really. To be honest, I’m running a bar right now. The business…
Quincy could not hold her back in time, so she simply let her go down on her own. The toilet was not far away, so she did not have to worry too much about it. Little Cupcake came out of the toilet and prepared to look for her mommy. However, she forgot whether she had to take a left or a right turn. Actually, she was not too good with directions. She was in a rush just now, so she had forgotten everything. Besides, the interior design of the hotel was the same on both the left and the right. She could not tell the difference at all. What should she do now? There was nobody here, so she could not ask them for directions as well. She decided to head left first. If she could not find her mommy, she would walk back here.However, her thoughts were too simple. This was a large hotel. She did not see her mommy after heading all the way to the left. She wanted to return to her starting point, but she forgot how many turns she had taken just now.Little Cupcake pouted. She felt like
Little Cupcake felt slightly abashed after Sirius laughed at her. She straightened her neck and retorted, “No, I’m not bad with directions! I just can’t differentiate north, south, east, and west!” “Doesn’t that mean that you’re bad with directions?” Sirius spread his arms. “I told you that I’m not and that’s that!” Little Cupcake’s face was a little flushed. She was slightly angered. Sirius did not want to argue with her. Besides, he was not one to speak much. He said in a self-mocking tone, “Why did I come out with a fool like you who can’t even tell directions well?” After speaking, he turned around to return to the room. Little Cupcake immediately reached out to grab his sleeve. She stopped acting tough now. “Brother, can you help me look for my mommy first? Is that alright?” “Let go of me. I’m not your brother.” Sirius frowned. He would have pushed her off a long time ago if this happened to him on other days. However, the little girl who was bad with directions f
