On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.
He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."
Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."
Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."
Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."
Toby was speechless.
He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command.
"I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."
Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."
Toby said, "...You will hav
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
Gilberto stared at the man in front of him, who raised his neck and his face turned red.The light was dim, making it difficult to see his facial expression clearly."I only gave you one chance!" Gilberto's voice was cold.Brock's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched Gilberto's wrist with both hands, shaking his head, "No, it wasn't."Gilberto's lips turned into a straight line, and then he threw the person against the wall.Brock knelt on the ground in agony, coughing violently.He watched the man's tall and slender figure, unable to free himself from the heartache.I saw Gilberto sitting on the couch, opening a bottle of red wine and chugging it down his throat. He staggered to his feet, leaning against the wall as he walked towards Gilberto."Gilberto, it really wasn't me."Gilberto clearly did not believe his words, "This is the last time, understand?"Brock had no doubt that Gilberto had just harbored murderous intentions towards him. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Gilberto
Once something is indulged, it becomes irreparable.Russell had a wild night, and in the end, Zoey was so exhausted that she didn't want to move at all.Watching the man fall asleep, Zoey opened her eyes and listened to his long breaths, her mind heavy with thoughts.She understood Russell's thoughts, and the consequences would have been terrible if there had been no cure for his illness.He was uncertain about his future, worried that he couldn't provide her with a happy life, and even feared that he would burden her. As a result, he became timid and lost his confidence.Zoey felt very sorry for him, she held him tightly and said softly, "Russell, I will definitely cure you."In the previous life, Russell killed himself for love, but it didn't end well. In this life, she was determined to give Russell a good ending.The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Zoey prepared breakfast and drove to the research institute.The experiment is currently in the stage of using mi
Zoey's body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at the door.She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "How did you wake up?"Russell was dressed in a navy-blue silk pajama, with the collar half open, revealing his delicate collarbone and pale, cold skin, giving him a sexy and alluring appearance.He raised an eyebrow and looked at Zoey, making a puzzled sound, "From what you're saying, it seems like I shouldn't have woken up."Zoey opened her mouth and forced a smile, "That's not what I meant."Russell approached, stood by her side, and bent down, supporting himself with one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table."What did that mean?"Zoey looked up at the man and said, "You, heard everything?""Of course.""Actually, I was the one, Hacker H."Russell stared at her deeply, "I should have guessed it earlier. Why didn't you tell me?""Well, you didn't ask, did you?""..."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "So, do you also have something to hide from me?"Russell
"Don't go."Gilberto's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with a look of grievance.Zoey's wrist, which was being held, felt extremely hot. She whispered, "I won't leave, I'm just going to boil some water and give you medicine later."Gilberto nodded and let go of his hand.He watched as the girl took off her cashmere coat, walked gracefully to the table, and started boiling water.He squinted his eyes, then closed them satisfactorily.Fifteen minutes later, Zoey took the medicine bag handed over by the manager.She walked to the bedside and pulled out an Infrared Thermometer, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine bag.She picked up the Infrared Thermometer and measured her ear temperature, which showed a normal reading. Then she measured Gilberto's temperature and found that he had a temperature of 39℃.She turned around and fetched warm water to cool down. She scooped out a fever-reducing pill and handed it to Gilberto."If you took the fe
Upon hearing this, Zoey's lips tightened slightly, and she walked towards the CEO's office.There was a gap in the office door, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard from inside.Zoey pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a woman standing in front of the desk, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall, revealing her fair shoulders. The black stockings under her short skirt were torn, making her look like a broken doll.The man sitting on the leather armchair stood up abruptly when he saw someone approaching.His eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, looked panicked. He stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said, "Zoey, why did you come?"Zoey walked up to him with a faint smile and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you. What's going on?"Russell looked at the woman, his gaze cold and icy. He was just about to explain when the woman burst into tears."I came to deliver the documents to Mr. Maddox, but little did I know tha
Russell wore a long black cashmere coat, which made his originally pale face even fairer.He glanced at Gilberto's attire, his thin lips slightly curved, his obsidian-like eyes seemingly smiling, "Zoey has something to do, let me accompany you to the hospital."Gilberto nodded slightly and said, "Then you troubled yourself.""Not a problem, you saved Zoey, and we are all very grateful to you," Russell asked, "Can we leave now?""Sure."Russell turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the smile on Gilberto's face instantly disappeared.His eyes were filled with coldness, like a hawk in the dark night, wanting to kill its prey with a single strike.He followed closely behind.In the elevator, two people stood side by side, with similar heights, giving off a strong sense of oppression.After getting out of the carriage, two tall and handsome men walked one after the other, attracting the attention of many people.After getting on the car, Russell glanced at Gilberto in the pass
Russell brought Zoey to the famous old street in Woodmerrow.As the New Year approached, the already bustling old street became even more lively.Zoey looked outside at the street view with some surprise, and then looked at Russell, "How did you come here?""I took you to an interesting place."Zoey searched through her mind for a list of interesting places she had explored. "Making sugar figurines? Pearl diving? Painting oil umbrellas? Antique hunting? Escape rooms? Fruit wine brewery?""None of them were.""..."Russell got out of the car and opened the door for her. He held her hand and walked down towards the direction of the ancient street alley, embracing her."Are you trying to kidnap me, all secretive like that?" Zoey asked, looking up."I wanted to lure you into my heart, where you could never escape."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "Why is your mouth so sweet?""Do you want to give it a try?"Zoey laughed out loud and said, "I hate it!"The two of them had a good appearanc
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
Nancy told Dalton everything about her and Craig.Dalton's expression turned heavy after hearing the news, and he felt a mix of emotions towards Craig.If it weren't for Kolton and Reina's interference, Nancy and Craig would have long become a heavenly couple, and Dalton wouldn't even be in the picture.Craig risked his life to save others before the bus exploded, narrowly escaping death. Later, on the cruise ship, he once again rescued Nancy. If it weren't for Susie's help, he would have also drowned in the sea.Their everyday moments, even without simple kisses, they were able to give their lives for each other.To be honest, Dalton admired Craig while also feeling quite jealous of him.Back then, he had Amiya by his side, so even if Nancy appeared, there wouldn't be any possibility between them.Everything, one can only say, was a twist of fate.Dalton's face became somewhat serious as he looked at Nancy. "Nancy, I respected
Nancy woke up and found herself in the hospital, with a furry head by her side.She recognized that it was Dalton, how was he here?Did he save himself or was he here as a family member to take care?She tended towards the second situation, after all, no one knew about her visit to the gallery last night.However, in any case, she felt that she was not prepared to meet him.Just at that moment, Dalton moved.Nancy immediately closed her eyes.Dalton, with sleepy eyes, sat up and stretched, moving his neck.Last night, he was here guarding Nancy, afraid that she might have any problems.Actually, he could have slept on the nearby bed, but he didn't.He wanted to be closer to her because last night's fire almost took her away.He looked at Nancy's trembling eyelids and knew that she had woken up."Nancy, did you wake up?" Dalton said gently.The person on the sickbed continued to doze, with only
"Nancy!"Dalton discovered that his voice was trembling, and he shouted again, coughing violently afterwards.Nancy had no reaction, and Dalton picked up the person and rushed out.Randall rushed towards the entrance of the gallery, following closely behind.The fire grew larger, and a horizontal beam fell down, blocking their way.The scorching flames were raging everywhere, as if the tongues of fire were devouring everything in their path. The thick smoke made people's eyes water incessantly.Randall stood in front of Dalton and said, "I will charge ahead, you follow me, and Nancy won't get hurt!""Get lost!"Dalton put the person down and prepared to carry them out.Just at that moment, a jet of water came in and extinguished the fire in front of the three people.Dalton grabbed Nancy and rushed out.Because the surrounding people didn't know if there were any people inside, they dialed 119.The a
Russell and Zoey faced each other, lifting the veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.He took Zoey's hands.The pupils of the two individuals reflected each other's faces.From past lives to present life and even to future lives, throughout countless generations, they will always be together!The emcee said, "The couple bows three times to each other. With the first bow, the couple holds hands and respects each other like guests, walking together in love and harmony!"Russell and Zoey bowed to each other."Two bows, heads touching, may you have a precious child until old age!"Russell and Zoey listened to the emcee's command. Russell lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Zoey's smooth forehead, and the two of them smiled at each other."Three bows, faces pressed together, happiness and joy forever!"Russell tilted his head and pressed his cheek against Zoey's, whispering softly in her ear, "Zoey, I
Nancy tightened her lips as she heard one after another derogatory remark.Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers curled up.Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "What, did I make you angry? It seems like you really care about this bastard!"Nancy couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to leave, but the man grabbed her wrist."Let go!" Nancy glared at him, unable to speak loudly and could only scold him in a low voice.Dalton sneered, "I just wouldn't let go, what can you do to me?"Nancy swung, not letting go, and raised her other hand to slap the man's face.Because the cheers were too loud, only the people next to it saw it.Alissa frowned as she watched Dalton clutching Nancy's hand. "Dalton, you really have no manners. Not only did you not have a wedding when you got married, but now you're also entangling with your ex-wife after the divorce."She grasped Dalton's wrist and said, "Dalton, we may not be able to
