"Mrs. Ezra." Ashley tried to suppress the sob in her throat, the corners of her eyes stung, she did not expect that, after being released from prison, there would be a day when she would meet her parents again, in this situation, her mother, asked her, are you okay?... "I'm very well."Restrained choked voice, Ashley replied."Ashley, open the front door, we have something to tell you."After Mrs. Ezra finished speaking, Ashley didn't know what her mood was at the moment, whether happy or sad, she didn't know.Her mind was in chaos, she bent down to pick up the key and slowly walked to the door. "Click" a sound and the door opened.“Please come in."After seeing her parents, Ashley deliberately lowered her voice, making her voice a little softer... She didn't want to be so miserable in front of her biological parents.So even if she had to rub salt into the wound, she would try her best to do what she could.Mr. Fletcher and Mrs. Ezra still didn't understand for the time being, only t
If it had been a long time since she got out of prison, then this couple, Bentley, or any of her family members, wouldn't have taken the initiative to visit her. And today, late at night they came to see her, entering the door not to recall memories, but to scold... It turned out that because Arwood caught her at the Paradise Club, they were looking for intelligence to investigate her. "Ashley, quickly tell your father, those things are all misunderstandings, there is a hidden meaning behind it, quickly explain clearly to your father, don't make your father angry."Mrs. Ezra anxiously held Ashley's arm, constantly advising Ashley.The hand that was hanging down near Ashley's body, trying to dig deep into her flesh, the warm and gentle woman beside her was her mother. Her mother was helping her "speak".But with every word, Ashley only felt her heart like ashes.Mr. Fletcher was beside her, his expression cold, waiting for Ashley to explain.This couple came today, was it to wait for
Mr. Fletcher was stunned, waving his hand: “These humiliating days, do you still want to remember them as memories? Remember them for what?”She said she didn’t care anymore, but a flash of disappointment flashed through her eyes, so fast that no one noticed… She carefully looked at her father, looking at him from head to toe.Just discovered, this person, is shameless to the point of fear.In the past three years, he had never visited her once, even the day she was released from prison, he didn’t remember. But today, what right does he have to stand here, arrogantly asking her to change jobs?“I won’t change jobs,” Ashley said slowly, not caring about Mr. Fletcher’s face that was about to explode, a smile appeared on her lips: “In the evening, Arwood’s grandfather called you, he still hasn’t told you, Club Paradise belongs to Milan, right?Mr. Fletcher, if you can convince Milan to let me go, I will be very grateful to you." Ashley's eyes were full of laughter: "Mr. Fletcher, you cal
"Then this gift..." Mr. Fletcher suddenly became a little worried, looking at Milan with anticipation.The man tilted his head slightly, a gentle smile appearing on his lips: "Your kindness, please keep it."After speaking, Mr. Fletcher breathed a sigh of relief in his heart... Milan accepting the gift also meant that he would accept that he would not implicate the Patterson Group and the rest of the family because of that bad thing."Mr. Milan, you continue working, I will take my leave." Mr. Fletcher was somewhat relieved and walked out of the house with a serious expression on his face along with Butler Smith.Beside their car, which had already stopped there, Butler Smith stood about two meters away from Mr. Fletcher and his wife.Before Mr. Fletcher got into the car, he suddenly hesitated for a moment, turned around, and looked at Butler Smith: “Butler Smith, it was because I didn’t teach that naughty girl well, that I harmed a good girl like Gina, I’m truly sorry.”If Ashley we
In Jerome’s peach blossom eyes, his rosy face, suddenly flashed a dazzling light, and a cold knife, was immediately, placed on him, Milan calmly asked: “Want to punch or slap?”“Oh my god…”Tyson glanced at Jerome, then pulled Jerome behind him, and turned his head to look at Milan who was sitting behind the desk.“What are you thinking?” The Parker pen in Milan's hand paused, after a while, he put it on the table, squinted, and looked thoughtful.Tyson did not urge.Milan suddenly raised his head and said to Tyson: "I want to see Ashley from three years ago."As soon as these words were spoken, not only Tyson but even Jerome was stiff."Time cannot be turned back." Tyson calmly said: "She is like this today, you cannot change her.""I have never thought of changing her." The man behind the desk said seriously: "I don't like her like this now, Ashley has no dignity, no self-respect, no soul, then she is not Ashley.""You can pretend not to see." In Tyson's position, he thought Milan
She could still faintly hear: “Huh? The weather forecast said it would rain today?”The boy looked doubtful: “Maybe… she saw wrong? But she's a good person..."The sound was getting farther and farther away, Ashley tried to laugh... a good person?If they knew she had been in prison, would they still say she was a good person?Just keep walking forward.When she raised her head again, Ashley froze...Under the shade of the tree, a man in a white shirt and skin-colored sweatpants appeared before her eyes.He stood under the shade of the tree, his hands in his pockets, his face mischievously looking at her and smiling, revealing white teeth, so white that even the air emitted pink bubbles.Suddenly, she seemed to see that summer.Under the shade of a tree that was even bigger than this one, that young man wearing a white shirt, skin-colored pants, and white shoes, stood under the shade of the tree, she hurriedly ran over, his face was anxious, indifferently urging: “You are too slow, gi
She didn't run away... Just like what Milan said that year, if she wasn't the right person, why run away?Suddenly, Ashley understood in her mind... It turned out that the reason that man didn't shake her hand away, letting her hold his hand, was because she wasn't the right person, so why care, why waste effort?Thinking like this, over the years, the actions that had become more and more suppressed and courageous... were just a joke.Elliot frowned... This woman, today had already been absent-minded three times.Unable to express his feelings at this moment, Elliot leaned down and kissed Ashley lightly on the lips."Is it Milan?"He suddenly asked. Ashley's whole body trembled.Elliot smiled, this smile, something was wrong: "Ashley, forget him, no matter what kind of past you and he have, it's all pain."Ashley's nerves seemed to be very sensitive, she raised her head and asked: "Why are you so sure that it's all pain?"Elliot stared at the woman he was holding tightly in his arms
Two voices, repeating, lingering in her head, her head was about to explode.Happiness, how could she be happy? She was a criminal. Lorne died for her, yet she could have the happiness that everyone in the world wanted.Nonsense.The one who deserved to die didn't die, and the one who didn't deserve to die did, yet the one who deserved to die could have happiness. The one who deserved to be happy was Lorne. Her life now, had been taken away from Lorne. If... If Lorne hadn't died for her, would Lorne now be happy, right?Taking away Lorne's life, even wanting to take away Lorne's happiness?Struggle, pain, regret, self-denial, self-hatred... These states suddenly appeared. Ashley was immersed in a state of self-denial and self-hatred, she couldn't clearly distinguish, her happiness and Lorne's happiness were not the same. In her subconscious, she thought, Lorne died for her, now she was living, living for Lorne, to atone for Lorne. If Lorne was still alive, then she would have died th
My parents stood not far away, but they did not enter the garden. At that time, I didn't understand, were my parents sad.Later I learned that my parents wanted to give my grandparents a final space.Her funeral was not a big deal, but the whole city of S, even the powerful and prestigious people, came to pay their respects.Her funeral was arranged by my grandfather.After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather's bones began to weaken.After examination, they couldn't find the cause. My father said, "Your grandfather has a mental illness."What is mental illness? I didn't dare ask.It's just that every year after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather would hold her portrait, and cherish it, as if my grandmother was still alive.Occasionally, my grandfather would talk to her portrait, as if he were talking to her. Another spring, everything seemed to be restored.My grandfather pulled me back and said, "Like.""Like what?""Like your grandmother.""Don't be sad anymore." I'm
My name is Kal Elise. This name was given by my grandfather, and as for his personality, according to my experience when I was young, he was not a good person.My grandfather's name was Milan. I heard that he was extremely charismatic when he was young.My grandmother's name is Ashley.Sometimes I wonder why this couple, who seemed to be incompatible, can still be together until now.Before my father was born, my grandparents divorced.After the divorce, my grandparents did not remarry.My grandfather did not care about my face and clung to my grandmother all day long.Since I have memories, my grandfather has always treated my grandmother well.Grandpa Tyson told me: Your grandfather never bowed to anyone, he was arrogant, and everyone was afraid of him.But why do I feel that what Grandpa Tyson said is not trustworthy?If my grandfather was that strong, why did he obediently run home like a puppy just because of a glare from my grandmother?Moreover, have you ever met an arrogant ma
“Divorce is good.”The old man snorted and walked on crutches.“Wait.” She chased after him: “The matter between you and my grandfather, don’t drag it onto me anymore. I don’t owe you. If you still want to collect the debt, find my late grandfather. Okay, I’ve made my position clear, you go, I won’t see you off.”“You…” The old man behind her trembled with anger, but Ashley had already gone far away.Meadow chased after her: “What’s the matter? Is there a grudge between Elise's house and Patterson's house?”“Nothing.”“Then I…”“I don’t like that old man.”Meadow agreed with her: “That’s right.” Elise's house and Patterson's house, the grudge between Mr. Elise and Mr. Morio, it’s best to resolve it between the two of them. As for her, she didn’t want to mention it.3 days after the surgery. Inside the intensive care unit, the man lying on the bed did not have any reaction.Even the slightest reaction was enough to make everyone happy.The morning of the first day.The man on the bed
However, she didn't need to do anything, the girl quietly looked at the man on the hospital bed, and a second later, she reached out to him.“You don't need to dirty your hands for me…” Before he could finish his words, a thin, weak body pressed against him.Suddenly, a soft feeling rose in his heart.He was surprised and didn't know what was happening."You..."Her index finger unbuttoned his shirt, and she turned over and sat on him, in a position like making love. "You..."She lowered her head and kissed his lips. If he could still endure like this, then he wasn't a man.His mind was blank.His body responded honestly, his big hand grabbed her waist, tilted his head, and kissed her back.Outside the door, Reuben heard the sound of the door locking, he suddenly felt worried, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but was stopped by Meadow."The door is locked, what if she does something bad to the young master...""That's not the case." Meadow retorted.Tyson's face was solemn: "S
In the hospital, the door of the ward opened without a sound.When Tyson ran over, he saw the girl.He didn't say anything, Meadow pulled him out into the hallway and closed the door.The man lay on the bed, his head tilted to one side, sleeping, deep in his dream.Not knowing what was in his dream, he frowned, showing that his sleep was not peaceful.The hand on the bed was wearing a wedding ring.The girl walked slowly, finally stopping in front of the man's hospital bed.Her eyes fell on the man's ring finger.She didn't know what she was thinking.She just stared at the ring for a long time, staring until she fell into thought.Not knowing how long it had been, the man opened his eyes vaguely, seeing the girl in his dream.He smiled slightly: "I'm dreaming again."Like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, his tone of voice to her was both gentle and warm: "That's great, you still appear in my dream."The girl standing by the bed was lost in thought, her eyes gradually focused
In the three years, she also saw Milan constantly looking for Ashley. Everyone told her to stop looking, maybe Ashley had died long ago.If she didn't die, why couldn't he find her after three years?But that man didn't believe it, he kept looking. In addition to finding the girl in his heart, his life was all about work.What Meadow saw was an arrogant man, never giving up on finding the girl in his heart.Although she couldn't tell what Milan had done, she could see that he was very persistent.All of these were things she expected from a man, but perhaps she couldn't find that person in her entire life.But Ashley wasn't like that.She could get the happiness she couldn't have from Ashley. She had gone through bad things with Ashley, and all those bad pasts would probably end with Ashley.She admitted she was very biased.But the important thing is that she can see that Ashley is not a heartless person. Ashley does not completely give up, it is just that she is running away.If the
Tyson sneered: "Now you say it's all over, why didn't you say it straight at first? I'll tell you, you're strange. At first, you didn't hesitate to use any tricks, you refused to let go. Now that you're sick, you chased her away."Tyson felt a little sour in his heart: "Now I believe it, you love her very deeply."The man didn't say anything, Tyson also felt bored."I heard she's going back to City A."The man paused for a moment, then hoarsely said: "She likes that place, it's a good place. Okay, okay.""Aren't you going to say goodbye to her? This might be the last time you two see each other."As a friend, he didn't want to say these unfortunate words. As a doctor, he knew very well how serious his good friend's condition was."No... No more." The man tilted his head and looked out the window: “She hates me, I’ve always known that.”“You…” Tyson wanted to say why he had to be like this, but he respected his friend’s choice: “You like sleeping more and more, why didn’t you tell me a
In the hospital.In the VIP room, today an unexpected figure appeared."Let him in."In the ward, the man of few words.The door of the ward opened, and an outstanding man walked in."You grasped the news so quickly." On the hospital bed, the man gently curled his lips and said, his lips pale and bloodless.“I have a source. Even if you hide it well, I can't guarantee that you won't reveal it."The man curled his lips and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. When I die, the Elise Group will be yours.""Hurry up." The person who came found a seat: "When you die, all the assets will be transferred to her."Although he didn't say who "she" was, a light flashed under the man's eyes: "You know me very well.""No no no." The person who came shook his finger: "It was just a coincidence that I saw Lawyer Mike coming out of the hospital that day. Lawyer Mike was hired by you, and has a department that only serves you and the Elise Group."He held a briefcase, and behind him w
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps her head was already wet, she raised her head slightly to peek… And couldn’t take her eyes off him anymore. She was captivated by the rich and complex emotions in his eyes.Gentle, lingering, and… what else could it be?She had used all her vocabulary to find a word that could describe it. But, she searched her mind but couldn’t find a word that could describe that gaze.Her eyes gradually became confused. She couldn’t understand this person’s gaze.The feeling was very familiar, but also very strange.A warm hand gently placed itself on her forehead.He gently rubbed the scars that would never disappear.“It must have hurt a lot back then.”That person gently asked her.She felt uncomfortable with this gentleness, so she placed her hand on his, and said without hesitation: “It doesn’t hurt.”Her body had experienced more pain than this wound.Ask her if it hurts. What's the point of pretending?At that moment, she thought.A red swelling immediate
