The next morning.
When Zoey woke up, she saw Russell gazing at her affectionately.
"Awake?"
Zoey, afraid that he would come again, instinctively moved back a little.
Unexpectedly, the man embraced her, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout her body, making her face blush and her heart race uncontrollably.
"I had to go to the film crew later, I couldn't be late."
"Hmm," Russell caressed her smooth back, inch by inch, eroding her rational nerves.
He was extremely gentle, "Zoey, did you feel comfortable last night?"
Zoey bit her lower lip, listening to the man's enticing voice.
"Don't speak."
"Hmm." Russell parted her lips with his fingertips and lightly brushed his fingertips against them. "I won't say, just do."
He turned over and pressed the person down, "Zoey, you promised to compensate me."
Zoey had just wanted to ask him when she had agreed, but before she could speak, the man's kiss
When Zoey found out that Toby had become the scapegoat again, she laughed heartily while eating the Spicy Prawn that Russell had peeled for her, saying, "Forgive me for being so heartless."Russell meticulously peeled the shrimp for her, which looked very pleasing."Brothers are meant to have each other's back."Zoey said, "I could already imagine Toby saying, 'Brothers are meant to stab me twice.' Hahaha..."Russell saw her laughing so happily and fed her a peeled Spicy Prawn, saying, "Then I will trick him a few more times in the future."Zoey hesitated for a moment, "I wonder if Leanna will be questioned by her family?"She was too busy laughing and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, then picked up the phone and called Leanna.Leanna proudly boasted to Zoey about how she had tricked Toby, when suddenly Toby's deep voice could be heard."Sorry, I need to have a chat with Leanna."Zoey looked at the disconnecte
It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Zoey and Russell were unexpectedly greeted by an unexpected guest.Leanna stood at the entrance, wearing a set of Pikachu pajamas, her hands fiddling with the drawstring.She blinked at Zoey and then asked Russell, "Um, can you lend me Zoey tonight?"Russell's face immediately darkened like ink upon hearing the words. He looked at Toby, who had just walked in through the door, and asked, "How did you guys come here?"Toby raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Leanna and I got married, so we moved out to live together. She suggested moving here, but I never thought you guys also lived here, let alone on the same floor."Leanna took a step forward and held Zoey's arm, "I don't care, tonight I want to sleep with Zoey."Zoey patted her hand and said, "Okay, I will go downstairs with you."And so, Toby stayed at Zoey's house, staring at Russell with big eyes.The two of them sat on th
Lola crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Hailey.What were you doing?Hailey's lips curved slightly, "I didn't do much, I just looked at the actors' costumes.""Really? Zoey is in charge of Madeleine's clothing, so your reason for coming here to look at the clothes is not sufficient."Hailey looked into Lola's shrewd eyes and felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to find Ms. Harmon and hope she can forgive me."Lola raised her chin and said, "Didn't we hit a wall last time? Did you come up with a good solution this time?"Hailey replied, "No, but I want to have another chance to try.""Did you ask for forgiveness after secretly taking pictures of someone's artwork?""No!" Hailey's decibel level instantly rose, "I didn't take any photos!"Lola looked at her trembling hand tightly clutching the phone and said, "Alright, then bring up the photo for me to inspect.""You had no right to order me, to
Russell's thin lips tightened, unable to hide his low voice of disappointment, "I knew."Zoey stifled a laugh and asked, "What did you find out?""I knew you had to work overtime because there was only about a week left until the competition."Zoey approached him, blinking her eyes, "Are you angry?""No.""Really?"The man nodded lightly and said, "Really, I supported your work."Zoey sighed, "Alright, originally I wanted to go to the set during the day and come back early in the evening to be with you. Since you are so supportive of my work, I will switch with Leanna. She can go to the set, and I will work overtime in the design room."Russell realized upon hearing the words that Zoey was teasing him.He put down the knife and fork in his hand, and lifted the person onto his lap. "Little one, did you deceive me?"Zoey's beautiful eyes sparkled, as she held the man's cheeks in her hands and sighed, "Your face just
With a loud bang, Madeleine let out a painful cry, her furrowed brow indicating her agony, and her entire body fell backwards.Shortly after, there was an explosion at the entrance of the mansion, and a massive fire broke out, exceptionally fierce.Giancarlo hesitated for a moment and muttered, "But why is the fire so big?"Zoey's pupils shook, "No, that was a real gun!"She grabbed a blanket and ran towards the mansion.Giancarlo stood there, looking confused. He picked up the walkie-talkie and anxiously asked, "Can the staff inside please respond? What's the situation in there now? Why is the fire so big?"He did not wait for someone to answer, and many people with fire on their bodies rushed out of the mansion.They wailed in agony, rolling on the ground repeatedly.People outside the mansion, upon seeing this scene, were initially startled and then began to rescue the individuals.At that moment, the director realize
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor when a doctor hurriedly walked out and said these words.Brodie stepped forward and said, "I am Brodie, a cardiologist. Madeleine is my sister, and I could perform the surgery on her."The doctor had naturally heard of Brodie, the world-renowned expert. Whenever he intervened, the success rate of surgeries increased from fifty percent to ninety percent.The doctor nodded, "Then please let Prof. Keller personally perform the operation."Brodie nodded, "Prepare the operating room, there is no time to waste."Doctor, "Okay."Because Zoey was not seriously injured, she was transferred to a regular ward.Russell guarded her and let Troy follow Royce and Lola to wait in front of the operating room, and if there was any news, they would inform him immediately.Russell looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed. Although the doctor said there was no ma
Russell maneuvered his wheelchair to the small window by the door of the ward and saw Leanna sitting in front of the bed, muttering to herself.Leanna had already heard about the incident on set an hour later because she had been secluded, working on making the competition clothes.It was only when Toby personally came to Galaxy Studio to find her that she found out.All the way, she was regretting that if she hadn't given Zoey a day off, or if she had come to the set today, Zoey wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.Leanna wiped away her tears and held the fair hand of the girl. "Zoey, when will you wake up? You said, why are you so foolish, rushing in to save people even when it's so dangerous. But if you didn't help, it wouldn't be your character. I guess if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the ability, let alone the courage to save someone. I believe Madeleine will be fine, you have to wake up quickly, okay?"The person on the sickbed s
After hanging up the phone, Russell asked Troy to check Nathalie's recent communications and then returned to the hospital bed.He held Zoey tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.At this moment, he had no sleepiness, and his eyes gazed into the pitch-black night.Whoever hurt Zoey, he would never let him go.Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce was driving on the way to the apartment.Leanna glanced at the man gripping the steering wheel and coughed lightly, "I wanted to go back to the design room, the direction of this road is wrong."Toby remained unfazed, "It was already past twelve, are you planning to stay up all night?""The designers in the design studio were busy until around 2 am before they went to rest, it feels a bit unfair for me to sleep so early."Toby looked ahead and said softly, "So, is it unnecessary to pay them such high salaries when you become the boss and work so hard?"Leanna pursed
Nancy and Dalton returned to the room, and Dalton, worried that she was angry, immediately approached and embraced her."Nancy, I beg you, please don't leave me.""That night, I really had no recollection. I had already taken precautions, worrying that something might happen, but unexpectedly, it still did.""I knew that no woman could accept the fact that her husband had an illegitimate child. I had already told my parents that I would give up the Jenkins family's wealth. They can give it to whoever they want, because I will never acknowledge this child.""Nancy, I couldn't be without you. Don't think about giving up on our relationship just because you're having difficulty getting pregnant. My child can only be born from you, I won't acknowledge Amiya's child!""Nancy..."Dalton blurted out all his inner thoughts, how could Nancy possibly remain indifferent.She gently patted the man's back, "Dalton, I didn't say I want to leave you
Nancy noticed the panic in Dalton's eyes, and then her gaze fell on Amiya's small belly."Dalton, she was pregnant with your child, right?"Dalton furrowed his brow as he tried to grasp her hand, but Nancy evaded him."Dalton, was that the time she got pregnant? You didn't do anything about it, did you?""No, Nancy, I handled it. I didn't expect her to get pregnant either," Dalton quickly explained. "Nancy, we are doing a paternity test, and the results will be out soon."Nancy closed her eyes and said, "Dalton, let me have some peace and quiet."At that moment, Amiya walked over, her hand resting on her abdomen.Amiya's pregnancy was already showing after five months, especially when she wore a fitted beige long dress, making her protruding belly even more noticeable.Nancy felt a slight stinging sensation in her eyes, but she couldn't show it in front of Amiya.She asked, "When did the result come out?"Dalton g
After leaving the Jenkins's manor, Dalton did not go home but went to a bar.He drank one cup after another, using alcohol to drown his sorrows.When Russell and Toby arrived, he was leaning against the back of the sofa, looking utterly despondent.They were all dressed in casual clothes, clearly indicating that they had rushed over from home.Russell asked, "What happened? Did Craig come back to life and Nancy doesn't want you anymore?"Toby chuckled, "Your mouth was going to kill me!"Russell clicked his tongue and said, "So, what could possibly have happened to him?"Toby raised an eyebrow, "Well, there was no other possibility."Dalton raised his hand and covered his eyes, "Amiya has returned."Russell squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that you brought the ball back, which is why you are so down?"Dalton lowered his arm and looked at the two of them. "She was five months pregnant, it should have been th
Amiya knelt and looked up at Dalton, shaking her head, her face covered in tear stains, "No! Dalton, this was your child!"Dalton coldly stated, "This is not my child! My child can only be born by Nancy!"Amiya pleaded with Chelsea, "Chelsea, I heard that Nancy couldn't conceive anymore, can you bear to see the Jenkins family become extinct?"Chelsea furrowed her brows and clenched her fists.Amiya continued, "I was the only bloodline of Dalton. I heard that Dalton adopted the child of his rival, and if this child grows up and learns about their origins, about the death of their parents and their connection to Nancy and Dalton, will she truly treat every member of the Jenkins family with sincerity?"Dalton grabbed her throat and said, "Shut up!"Eugene stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "Dalton, let go! I didn't want the Jenkins family to end up in a tragedy!"Dalton's hand exerted force, and Eugene's hand also exerted force.
This was Nancy's first month as Dalton and Nancy's daughter, and it was a day worth celebrating.Three people came to the amusement park and had fun and laughed together.Dalton looked at the multiple smiles on Nancy's face and couldn't help but curl his lips.He never believed throughout that children were a necessity in a marriage, they could be there or not.However, after Nancy became pregnant, he found himself looking forward to the child. But after Nancy had a miscarriage, he felt indifferent about not having a child.In the end, he realized that he loved Nancy, which is why he loved their children.If they didn't have children in the future, he would treat Nancy as his own child.Now they adopted Nancy and renamed her Nancy Jenkins. He treated her as his own biological daughter, as long as Nancy was happy.At first, he didn't have the feeling of being a father, but after this month of adjustment, he started to have that
Nancy looked at one portrait after another of Craig, and tears kept falling from her eyes.She held onto those paintings tightly, "Craig, I'm sorry..."If it weren't for her, Craig would have definitely found a beautiful girl, gotten married, had children, and lived a life that followed the usual routine.She was the source of all Craig's tragedies, and she was immersed in deep self-blame.Three days later, Dalton and Russell came back, unfortunately they did not bring Nacy with them.The village experienced a riot, and the villagers fled in all directions. Many people managed to escape, while others were captured by the rebels and sold to various parts of the world. They were too late to leave.It took some time to find Nancy, so they came back first.Dalton noticed Nancy's abnormality and took her for a psychological test, discovering that she had depression.After hearing about this, Zoey still recounted the matter that Nanc
Susie was not surprised to see Nancy, as Emmett had sent someone to deliver a message to her after finishing these tasks.She knew Nancy would definitely come to find her, after all, Nancy's child was gone and Craig was also dead, everything unfolded according to her plan.Originally, she also wanted Nancy to die, but later she changed her mind. The most tormenting thing for a woman is nothing but the inability to conceive again and the tragic death of a former lover.She wanted Nancy to suffer a fate worse than death!Compared to death, the living are the ones who suffered the most!Susie burst into laughter, her face twisted with a wicked and malicious expression, "Do you hate me so much?"Nancy said calmly, "I hated you because you disrupted my peaceful life. However, I must tell you that your plan did not entirely succeed."The smile on Susie's face froze in an instant, "What do you mean?"Nancy faintly curved her lips and
Your own mother?Last words?Difficult to conceive?A series of information overwhelmed Nancy, and she almost couldn't bear it and fell down. The tray in her hand also almost slipped.She closed her eyes, steadied her mind, held the tray, and held onto her last bit of dignity.Taking a deep breath, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen, placing the tray on the counter.The servant asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, didn't you bring it up?"Nancy forced a smile and said, "I just tripped on the stairs earlier and spilled some."The servant took a glance and indeed, it was true. She said, "In the future, leave this kind of rough work to us, you take good care and rest."Nancy thanked and said, "It's okay, I will repackage and deliver it again. If I stay at home and do nothing, I will become moldy and grow hair."The servant didn't say anything more, but watched as she filled two bowls of poached snow pear with hone
When Nancy woke up, it was in the middle of the night. She stared at the white ceiling, tears streaming down her face.Upon hearing the suppressed crying, Dalton, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins. "Nancy, Nancy, are you awake?"Nancy looked at him and pointed to her small belly, "Gone, right?"Dalton struggled to force a smile, "There will be more in the future, Nancy. We will have children again in the future."Nancy cried out, "Why did he survive the fire, survive the kidnapping, but couldn't survive that glass of orange juice? Why treat my child like this? What did he do wrong? That glass of orange juice was personally delivered to me by my mother, does she even know?"Dalton was worried about Nancy's postoperative bleeding and quickly grabbed her hand. "She is unaware, Nancy, what you need most now is to recover your body. You must not get emotionally excited, otherwise it can eas
