Koven woke up from his dream again, but this time, he was not startled. Instead, he woke up calmly, just like usual. He slowly opened his eyes, got out of bed, brushed his teeth, and washed his face.He walked to the sink, picked up the toothpaste, and squeezed it out the way Selena had done for him before. He washed his face and trimmed his beard just like Selena used to do for him.After finishing breakfast, he put on his suit and went to the pre-booked barbershop for a haircut. Riding his bike, he set off.…At the same time, Charlie called Selena out and drove quickly without saying anything after she got into his car.“Where are we going?” Selena asked in confusion, hastily fastening her seatbelt.“You’ll know when we get there!” Charlie replied with a mischievous smile and continued driving.Selena had no choice but to let herself be led like a little kitten. She could not imagine what might happen.Koven was also driving quickly, with an inexplicable joy on his face. His
Selena looked at Koven who was resting his head on her lap, comfortably lying on the bed. She gently caressed his cheek with her hand.“How did you remember? And why didn’t you come to find me immediately? Hmph!” Selena asked coquettishly, lightly patting Koven beside her.“I had already recovered my memories at the banquet, but you didn’t wait for me to finish before…” Koven began, but Selena pressed her finger to his lips, signaling him to stop.The room was filled with lilies Koven had prepared for Selena. He sat up, looked at her with loving eyes, and suddenly pounced on her……In the monastery, Charlotte was brushing her hair in front of the pool. She had been meticulously grooming herself for an hour. She applied rouge, lined her eyes, and painted her lips red. She looked beautiful.Today was the day Arthur and Juliana were to visit her. Charlotte did not show much excitement. She only made sure to dress up. Her hair was styled in an ancient fashion, and she smiled with sat
On National Day, Matthew planned to take the whole family on a trip. Gabriella mentioned that it was hard for the elderly to walk long distances, so in the end, only Matthew, Lucy, and the kids went.They arrived in Hawana this time, booked the most luxurious hotel in advance, and hired hundreds of security guards for protection. Lucy, who was wearing sunglasses, lay on the beach enjoying the sunshine. Next to her were the two babies, for whom they had made all kinds of preparations. Meanwhile, Matthew was swimming in the sea.Lucy smiled at the scene in front of her. She did not need to take care of the kids, as the nanny, Venus, was always looking after them. Suddenly, Matthew disappeared. He had vanished in the water and was no longer in sight. Lucy ran over in panic, calling out for Matthew, who was just there a moment ago.She anxiously scanned the surface of the sea but could not find any trace of Matthew. Could it be another separation? Just as she stepped deeper into the
Linus had just returned from a mission and was called to Daniel's house. Linus did not know what was going on and went over without much thought.As he walked, there were not many people around, only a few birds chirping in the trees. When he reached the door, he found the place carefully decorated, with many roses in the garden creating a warm atmosphere. Linus opened the door, but Daniel was not inside. Linus thought, 'He called me here, but he's not around. What's going on?'After a while, the door was carefully closed, and the lights were turned on. It was quiet, which helped to calm the heart. Linus walked slowly with the music and lay down on the nearby swing bed, unknowingly closing his eyes and relaxing.Suddenly, he felt someone approaching and stood up alertly. It turned out to be Gwen. Linus was impressed by her different attire today. Gwen was wearing a white dress that perfectly highlighted her waist, with a pure makeup look that was captivating. Gwen, who was natur
Linus looked at Gwen in front of him, not knowing what to say. He had considered accepting her proposal and being together, but he could not do it. He could not betray his own heart to accept a woman he did not love.He knew he had always loved Lucy, so he saw Gwen as a sister and never dared to cross boundaries. In the eyes of others, he seemed to have given up on Lucy, but he could only deceive others; he could not deceive his own heart.Every time he saw Lucy with Matthew, his heart bled. Each time, he pretended not to care on the surface to cover up the scars in his heart. He always showed his strongest side to others, knowing that Lucy did not have feelings for him. However, the more this was the case, the less he could accept it. He would rather drown his sorrows in alcohol every day than complain in front of anyone."You still can't forget her, can you?" Gwen's eyes were already red as tears streamed down incessantly, leaving streaks on her face. She wiped them away hastily
The next day, Gwen had almost recovered. This car accident had only knocked her out briefly, without causing serious harm. Linus, feeling guilty, came to bring her breakfast. He saw Gwen sitting on the bed, lost in thought. When she saw Linus, she pretended not to notice him and continued gazing at the scenery outside. She appeared somewhat haggard. She had stayed up all night, thinking about what had happened during the day. In the chaos, she could not sleep, nor did she want to.“Time to eat!” Linus said. Gwen ignored him. Linus placed the breakfast on the table, looking at the stubborn Gwen. He sighed and was about to leave.“Wait. My hand hurts. Feed me!” Gwen looked directly at him. It was hard to tell whether it was an order or a request. Linus could not read her thoughts. He fed her the oatmeal spoonful by spoonful, just wanting to make up for yesterday’s incident. After feeding her, he left.Gwen’s face showed no sign of a smile. She remained on the bed, her gaze dull an
It was already noon, and Lucy was sound asleep. Her hair spread messily across the bed, her skin white and soft. “Wake up, lazy pig!” Matthew called into her ear. It was the weekend, and Matthew had also slept in. Looking at his wife beside him, he could not help but chuckle. Lucy was not affected and continued sleeping soundly, hogging the entire blanket for herself. Seeing how bold she was, Matthew immediately slipped under the blanket and pinched her belly hard. “Ouch! It hurts!” Lucy cried out softly, opening her eyes to glare at Matthew. “What are you doing?” Matthew looked at his angry wife, his eyes full of love. “Get up. Don’t you care about our son and daughter?” Lucy snapped awake at this. “Right, where are Johnny and Lila?” She searched everywhere, under the bed and under the blanket, but there was no sign of them. She was about to rush out to look for them when Matthew pulled her into his arms. “Silly! Didn’t we agree yesterday that they would go to Mom’s pl
Linus lay on the bed, his wounds still bleeding. His condition was poor; he was pale and weak, unable to get up and walk.Gwen coldly tended to him. Her feelings for this man were a mix of love and hate. Her love for him was a form of obsession, a belief she had held onto for so long. The hate stemmed from his refusal to accept her.Gwen carefully looked at the wounds, slowly unwrapping the bandage. The doctor had told her that the dressing had to be changed every two hours to prevent infection. Outwardly, Gwen seemed indifferent, but in reality, she felt more pain than Linus. Watching him in such agony was tormenting for her too.As she removed the bandage, she thought to herself, 'You have it easy. You were the one who rejected me, and I'm the one feeling the pain.'Due to her inexperience, Gwen got the medicine all over him. She meticulously wiped it off, afraid of causing Linus any discomfort.Linus clenched his teeth the entire time. The medicine felt like countless needles p
