The cold weather did not deter people. Instead, the streets became increasingly crowded, lively enough to make one forget the chill of winter. Matthew and Lucy were among the crowd, following the flow of people to the busiest area. Matthew was with his young son while Lucy had her young daughter. They first went to a newly opened restaurant to eat, then strolled around the street, buying everything they needed. Just as they were about to head back, they spotted someone they had not seen in a long time. Lucy saw Selena and stared in amazement, unable to believe that she had actually returned! She turned to signal to the busy Matthew, but he was still occupied picking out gifts. When Lucy turned back, Selena had already vanished into the crowd. She looked around for a while but still could not find her. After walking a considerable distance forward, there was still no sign of her. Matthew eventually found Lucy while still carrying the children, so she had no choice b
This tactic indeed worked. Koven reluctantly agreed even though he didn’t want to eat steak or go out to have fun. After all, he couldn’t ignore the bond of brotherhood!Charlie was as happy as a monkey, jumping around. Once again, he succeeded. Every time, Koven could not resist that one sentence. A guy was really just that simple. Koven felt a bit helpless. He was already used to Charlie’s tricks, but it was true that years of brotherhood could not just be brushed off! Koven packed up his things and glanced at the photo as if Selena was right beside him.He walked out, and as he was walking, he suddenly felt someone watching him. He turned around, and sure enough, there was someone suspiciously disguised. Koven chased after them!"Stop! Don’t run!" Koven shouted, curious about the person running away. Lately, he had been feeling like someone was following him. However, the person ran quickly, and after turning a corner, they managed to shake Koven off.Koven could not catch up
Koven slowly walked back to the residential area, feeling a deep sense of loneliness as he looked around at the scenery. Selena still had not returned, and he was still alone.Suddenly, he saw that person spying on him again. Koven immediately chased after them, but the person quickly ran off, and the two of them ran for a long time.The person dashed through a small garden. Koven hurried to follow, but his calf was scratched by wild grass, and once again, he lost track of them! Koven was becoming more and more confused. Who was spying on him? These past few days, he had an unsettling feeling, but he could not quite explain it. It left him very puzzled!Forget it. It was better to go back to sleep. Staying here was not going to solve anything. Whether he was being followed or not, he would just install a surveillance camera first. By this time, it was dark, and the air began to feel heavy with the temperature dropping across the city.Selena carefully walked forward. Mark’s house
In the presidential suite of the Royal Hotel, the entire room was filled with the disgusting smell of sex.Lucy Quinn looked at the two people cuddling with a sarcastic smile on her lips. She clenched her fists because her wedding day was tomorrow. If she had not come over to deliver Timothy Lucas his suit, she would still be completely in the dark about this affair.She wasted five whole years of her youth on that bastard!“Lucy, Tim and I are in love… Please forgive us!” Tears were streaming down Luna Quinn’s ashen face, and she clung to the man while sobbing.Timothy frowned and hugged Luna even tighter as if he could not bear to see her hurt.He patted Luna’s back with a sigh. “Luna, I've told you so many times that you're the one I love. Why are you begging her?"He spoke gently with hints of affection in his voice.His words were like a stab to Lucy’s heart.The next moment, Lucy smirked and said, “Fine, I forgive you!”Luna froze when she heard that, and then she imme
Matthew had a tall nose, thin lips, and arched eyebrows that slanted toward the dark hair on his temples. The contours of his face were flawless. At that moment, his eyebrows were raised, displaying a sort of arrogance and contempt. His deep and brilliant eyes exuded a sharp iciness, making others feel infinitely uneasy.He looked at Lucy's surprised face and continued staring at her until an imperceptible gleam appeared in his eyes.His heart was beating fast.It was the first time in his 28 years of living that he felt something for a woman.His tall figure leaned forward, and his exquisite face came closer to her as he smirked. “Are you attempting fraud?”“You’re the one attempting fraud. I bet your entire family are fraudsters!” Lucy pulled herself together as she cursed at him.Matthew smirked nonchalantly. It was the first time someone ever dared to yell at him, and that someone happened to be a petite woman.He could not decide whether she was brave or just plain foolis
Matthew's lips parted, and he said nonchalantly, “I’ll keep the marriage license with me for now.”Then, he snatched the marriage license from Lucy.Lucy watched the man put aside the document in confusion. Gulping, she asked, “Is your name Matthew Leon?”She saw his name when she looked at the marriage license just now.He shot her a look and hummed in response.“Francis, send Mrs. Leon home.” There was a gleam in his eyes.Lucy blushed when she heard him call her Mrs. Leon.Ignoring the unfamiliar feeling in her heart, she asked, “Will you attend a wedding with me tomorrow?”“Sure.” Matthew got into the car with a smile on his face.She froze as she was not expecting him to agree so easily.Was he easier to talk to now that they had gotten their marriage license?“Get in.” Matthew's deep voice sounded from inside the car.The next moment, Lucy got into the car in a daze. The entire car ride was eerily quiet.After half an hour of driving aimlessly, Francis could not bear
When Lucy was still a child, her parents would ask her to give her dolls to her younger sister because she liked them. They said that she should be nice to Luna because she was ill.Her new clothes would become her sister’s before she even got to wear them.One time, Luna even snatched away an autographed photo of a celebrity she liked.Now, she had taken away the man she loved for five years.Lucy’s heart grew cold at the thought of that.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stopped them from streaming down. She mustered a bitter smile on her face. “Mom, Dad, when did Luna and Timothy get together?”“The year you went to study abroad.” Feeling guilty, Melanie looked away. Lucy’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale when she heard that it had been so long since those two got together!Four years ago, she went to study abroad for three years and did not come back until last year.How stupid of her to not notice they had been fooling around behind her back for four yea
Melanie saw her daughter coming down the stairs and asked, "Lulu, it's so late now. Where are you going at this hour?"Shooting her a cold look, Lucy said, “Where I go is none of your business.”She ignored Melanie’s look of disapproval and walked out of the house.Melanie's face turned pale with anger as she scolded, “The older you get, the more rebellious you become!”Hearing that statement, Lucy merely shook her head and continued walking toward the Lamborghini limousine parked at the door.When Matthew saw Lucy walking toward him, he opened the door for her with a smile.Although she was surprised to see that he actually came to pick her up, she got in the car anyway.As soon as she closed the door, the car sped off.Lucy, who was seated in the passenger seat, turned to look at the man driving the car. She had to admit that he was very handsome, so much so that it was captivating. Even his side profile was enough to make a woman squeal.Not only was he oozing with charisma
