Molly Winters was seven years old. Even if she was only a Year 2 student, she was extremely finicky and arrogant as she had been spoiled and pampered since birth.One of the reasons she was crying so loud right now was that she was scared by Howard’s fierce glare, but also because she saw blood.She knew she was in trouble and was terrified given her young age, hence she cried loud and miserably.Her cries were so loud that it was impossible not to alert the Winters household.Very quickly, John rushed in. When he saw his darling daughter sitting on the ground wailing loudly, he felt his heart tightened. “Molly, what happened?”When Molly saw John coming in, she reached out her arms to him and said aggrievedly, “Daddy, they bullied me.”“Aww baby, don’t cry. Don’t cry.”Molly had been a crybaby since young. However, this was the first time John had seen her cry like this.He was feeling sorry for her, but when he heard that it was the Snowdens who had bullied her, he immediat
It did not matter what time of the day it was, John’s presence would instantly be pleasing to the eyes. Even if he had discharged from the army and had gone back to inherit his family business, his straight posture and iron-like aura were enough to make hearts form in Zoey’s eyes.Zoey sucked back the saliva on the side of her mouth. Zoey nudged Natalie’s hand. “Natalie, who is this?”“John Winters!”“Her husband!”They opened their mouths at the same time. One of them told her his name and one told her his identity.When Zoey heard the word ‘husband’, her eyes opened wide in horror. “H-Husband?”Zoey felt like a lightning had struck her hearing the explosive news. “Natalie, you’re married? When did that happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”“I’ll explain it to you later. Now…”Without saying anything further, Natalie grabbed the frigid man who was leaning against the door frame out of her consultation room. She turned a corner and pulled him into a staircase not far away.“Why are
Zoey could not wrap her head around this. “Why? Does he not want to touch you?”“What kind of reaction is this? Why can’t I be the one who’s refusing to touch him? Why does it have to be him?”“You’re refusing? You’re the one that’s refusing?”Zoey was so mad that she almost smashed the bowl. “Are you insane? You should sleep with this kind of man as soon as possible to save the trouble!”What did she mean by saving the trouble? Plus, what trouble did she want to save?Natalie rolled her eyes at her best friend and explained, “We had a contract and we will divorce 100 days later. Why should I suffer a loss by sleeping with him?”“Suffer a loss? What the hell are you talking about?”At that moment, Zoey’s face looked as if she had been struck by thunder. She said exaggeratedly, “You’ll gain a lot of advantages after sleeping with him, okay? Do you think you’ll suffer a loss with that kind of face and body?”“...”What about that face?What about that body?She was not ugly, o
The 12-year-old pre-teen was madly hitting and kicking those people. Eventually, he managed to grab Natalie away from them. Natalie could not even stand up anymore.“Sis. Sis! Are you okay? Don’t scare me!”Natalie was extremely weak, but she still touched her brother’s face worriedly. “Howie, don’t cry. I won’t die.”“Sis, Sis…”Amid his wails, the 12-year-old pre-teen skipped school for the first time.He carried Natalie on his back and walked about an hour in the heavy rain to the hospital. After making sure that his sister was not in any danger, he covered his eyes and started crying.John got to the hospital at that moment.When Howard saw him, his first reaction was to pounce on him and punch him. However, who was John Winters? He could see it coming from a mile away. He grabbed Howard’s hand and pushed him toward Greg.“Take him away. He’s so noisy.”"Bastard, don't you dare go into my sister's room! You bastard! If you dare to hurt my sister again, I’ll kill you. I’ll
Even though he treated Molly like the most treasured princess in this family, he would not overlook the problems that this child had too.Even if he were to lie to himself, he could not completely ignore the child’s averting gaze.Molly was lying. There must be something else going on that night!When he thought about this, John’s eyes darkened. His gaze landed on the closed door of the old master’s study. It had been three days and there would be a new problem every day. The old master would usually be concerned about everything, but he had kept quiet for the past few days.Was this on purpose?When he thought about this, John looked at his mother with his eyes cold. “Even if you’re not happy with Natalie, she’s my lawfully wedded wife. From this day on, I won’t forgive you if you do this kind of thing again.” “Johnny, what kind of attitude is this?”John emphasized, “No one can bully my people except for me. Including you…”“...”Madam Winters did not say anything, but she
They had signed a 100-day contract. After 100 days, he and Natalie would part ways. Seeing how his daughter was pleading him with tears in her eyes, he finally said in a deep voice, “Okay.”It was an unexpected answer and the little girl’s eyes glistened.Molly looked at John in disbelief. She asked timidly, “Really?”“Yeah!”He nodded and opened his mouth like he was making a promise, “Daddy will break up with her. However, give me some time, okay?”She knew that her father was a reliable person, so Molly’s big and beautiful eyes were shining like stars. “Alright. Molly loves daddy the most!”Since Molly had been spoilt since she was young, when she was throwing a tantrum, it would take a long time to calm her down.John also wasted a lot of time to finally coax her to take an afternoon nap.He tucked his daughter in and looked at her innocent face. John’s eyes were dark in the dimly lit room. Memories started replaying in his head.If she were not her daughter, he would not
Would there really be no impact?Natalie thought about this and smiled bitterly.When she thought about this from another angle, she was bitterly disappointed because Molly was not the real granddaughter of the Winters!If she were the real little miss of the Winters, at least she would feel somewhat convinced after being tortured or wronged.But she was a fake little miss and she had the power to make the Winters to treat her like this. What more could she expect?Her heart grew colder. But on the other hand, the smile on her face grew wider. “Miss Molly is not Master John’s biological daughter, but he still took care of her as if she was his real daughter. I think Master John would be in a difficult position between Miss Molly and me, that’s why I want to move out. Isn’t this better for everyone?”“Child, why are you so stubborn?”“Grandpa, please.”The old master had been going on for almost half a day and Natalie absolutely refused to call him grandpa, until now.Looking a
Again?He had the nerve to mention it to her?She was the one being wronged. She was the one being threatened. She was the one being treated unjustly. But when it came to him, everything would become her fault. Everything was her fault. He was right all the time. He was good all the time.She was so angry! She was fuming mad!The wounds on her legs added on to her pain and she wanted to explode. She did not try to hold it in anymore. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she retorted in an icy tone, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. If I keep quiet, you say I’m provoking you. John Winters, can’t you have more justice toward me?”Justice…The justice that he had wanted to give her became a request from her. A nerve struck inside him, and he could not resist saying something heartless again. “Who are you to want to talk justice with me?”“If you can’t even grant me that, don’t I at least have the right to be silent?”John, “...”She did not want to cry. She also refused to show
