“Thank you.” She drained the ice water in one gulp, then pushed the empty glass aside before she reached for another whiskey glass. “However, it’s best for us to get this over with quickly.” She lowered her head even more and appeared to already be sitting unsteadily. She was no longer sitting upright with a straight back like before as she shifted more than half of her upper body weight to lean on the bar counter. “Here’s the third question.” She pursed her lips ever so slightly with great ef
He was stunned for a moment, then he got up and dragged her toward the washroom. However, she was so weak that she could not even stand up. Her body swayed left and right, and it was simply impossible for her to walk on her own. He decided that he might as well carry her in his arms as he walked to the washroom swiftly. He noticed that she was gagging profusely, so he lowered his head and threatened her, “If you have the audacity to vomit on me…”Before he could finish his sentence, she had alr
She did not answer him. It was obvious that she was incapable of focusing, yet she still stared in his direction persistently. Tears were streaming down her face as she chanted over and over again, “Sean Jackson, I don’t owe you anything. Sean Jackson, I don’t owe you...”He had lost count of how long it had been since someone addressed him by that name. He became distracted without even noticing it as he listened to her in a daze. After a long while, he cursed and stood up to rinse away the so
He lay on the bed and looked at her quietly. He suddenly realized that she was more adorable when she had been drunk last night. However, he could not stand looking at her embarrassed expression, so he reminded her in an indifferent tone, “Your clothes are in the bathroom.”Her body stiffened for a moment. She held onto the bath towel and walked toward the bathroom swiftly. It was quiet for a long time after she went into the bathroom. Finally, he could not refrain from walking over to check on
He must be under the influence of some unknown voodoo spell. He actually took a step back and let go of her before he spoke in a hoarse voice, “If you don’t feel well then why do you still seduce me?”She could not answer his question, so she looked at him in a daze with her mouth gaping and tongue-tied. He sniggered softly, then turned around to brush his teeth and wash up. A moment later, it was as if he suddenly remembered something. His lips curled into a smirk with toothpaste in his mouth
She forced herself to crack into a stiff smile that looked even uglier than a crying face. Then, she loosened her tight grip on the blanket and did nothing as the blanket slipped down from her body and walked out. Perhaps, due to her long-term fitness training, she had a superb figure. Her figure was slim, long, and graceful, which was different from the matchstick-like skinniness most girls had. However, she possessed the waist-to-hip ratio that was rarely seen among Asians. His gaze deepened
It was nearing 20 minutes past eight. The forum would begin this afternoon. There were still a lot of things left to do at the function, and Vivian figured that it was not the right time to wallow in sadness. Fortunately, she found a set of spare clothes in the room, so she got herself ready in a jiffy and then rushed to the venue. By the time she made it there, most of the students had already arrived. The classroom administrator was there as well, much to Vivian’s surprise. He leveled Vivian w
Truth be told, Vivian did not expect such an answer from Estelle. She felt even more sympathy for the young girl sitting in front of her. As if she saw the commiseration in Vivian’s eyes, she replied, “You don’t have to feel bad about me, Miss Carraway. I don’t think I’m a miserable child in any sense. Although I don’t have a mother, my grandmother is very good to me and I was everything to my father before he passed away. Both of them are the most precious treasure I’ve ever had in my life.”
