INICIAR SESIÓN★★★★"We haven't even made it to the main road yet so finding an ice cream shop right now would be pretty unlikely," Peter answered, clearly confused, with a trace of irritation beneath his words. Having come this far, he had no desire to head back home again.Susan sifted her gaze at Peter as she spoke, "Why don't we just go home and order it online? I don't think we will have much luck finding anything, no matter how much further we go.""I honestly don't understand what you are saying," Peter said, releasing a long, weary sigh.Susan quickly went to her knees and spoke to Peter in a low voice, "Listen, Peter, I have a feeling someone is following us. I don't know if it's just me being paranoid or if something is actually wrong."She swallowed hard before continuing, "Can we please just go home? I know I probably sound crazy, but I can't shake this feeling. And I promise- later, I will make it up to you. I will take you out for ice cream myself okay."The panic in Susan's voice imme
★★★★★"Jamie and I are not related by blood. Our father married my mother after an unfortunate event took place with Jamie's mother. So, here is the first reason why he is given priority," Markrum said, looking at Elena. "And he handled business when he was very young, making him more compatible to sit in the chair. I am not asking for that position from him but if I want to learn I think people should give me a chance instead of making me feel low and inferior."He exhaled after that."That is all. I am trying to do something by myself without thinking of competing with Jamie for something that does not belong to me," he pursed his lips as he ended."Not belong to you!?" Elena blinked in confusion, "It was your dad too. The thought you made in your head is completely absurd. No one can do business unless they start to venture into it.""Let it be! As I said I will do something else for myself. Now I feel a little guilty about making you my wife," Markrum paused, his eyes lowered, whi
★★★★"You don't like staying at home with everyone," Elena asked, turning her head toward Markrum.Markrum smiled at her, and replied, "No."Elena blushed slightly. She did not know why whenever she looked at Markrum, her heart began to race. She had met many men, yet never felt this way for anyone, nor had she ever seen someone so purely handsome."I was not like my elder brother- the good child- so I never got much attention at home. I guess that's why I got used to staying out," Markrum added, leaning on the cupboard leisurely. "Why don't you sit on the bed? There aren't many other options?""You can sit on the bed too instead of standing there. There is plenty of space," Elena said directly without much thought as she sat down in a corner."I know you didn't mean anything by it, but if I sit on the bed too and someone walks in, they might think something else. Neither of us wants it, do we?" The smile on Markrum's face deepened as he stared at the girl with pleasing eyes. Such a m
★★★☆"It will be a waste of time if she is in the audition room," Susan said, flipping the pages of the book. "You have never been worried this much about your mom before- so what's different today? It's not like this is the first time she is out this late because of work.""I don't know," Peter replied. "I know I am probably overthinking. But I really feel like something isn't right.""It's okay. This place, and you're new, that's why you are feeling like this. Don't worry she will come home safe. Let's wait a little longer, and if she still doesn't return, I will call her," Susan said turning her head toward the figure as she closed the book, a small smile playing on her lips."Okay, Aunt. How about we go out for a bit - take a walk? It might help me get my mind off mom, and we can explore the place too," Peter suggested gently, not showing too much desperation... otherwise his request might get rejected again. Sitting at home was starting to bore him.Susan looked at him for a mome
★★★★" I have no interest in listening to nonsense and there is nothing wrong with me. Just follow me," Jamie spoke in a cold voice, his face tight with irritation, anger barely contained. Without another word, he turned and walked into the room.The doctor glanced at Jason who met his gaze for a brief second, and then the two of them followed Jamie inside.As soon as the doctor's gaze fell on the woman lying on the bed, he was momentarily stunned. His eyes shifted instinctively to Jamie but the question on his lips never quite made it out.Sensing the gaze on him, Jamie shifted his eyes toward the doctor and said quietly, "Don't say anything, just check her. I think she has a fever.""Hmmm," the doctor nodded and went to the bed. Earlier Jamie pulled a sheet over Edith's body, covering her up. So the state of her pants remains hidden.The doctor extended his hand and touched Edith's forehead. The heat beneath his palm made him frown. He glanced at Jamie, and said, "Yes, she has a fev
★★ "Yes I was there... but why do you ask?" Martha asked a faint trace of confusion threading through her voice "It's nothing important," he said lightly, " I just happened to notice a couple of pieces of clothing there, looked like trousers. So I teased my brother about you. He refused to say a word," a faint chuckle followed. "Just in jest, nothing serious. By the way, both of you did surprise us with the early engagement date. Jamie, in particular, seems quite pleased.” Although it should have been a moment for Martha to feel happy- and even a little proud of herself. But there was only one thought running through her mind: trousers She had to ask, "Wait a second. Did you mention the trousers? "Yes, I did!" Markrum replied. " I wasn't wearing any trousers when I went to the office. So whose pieces of trousers did you find?" Martha asked anxiously, the thought clearly unsettling. "Oh!" Markrum sounded surprised too, "Maybe I was mistaken, I might have seen it wrong. Anyway let
