Zoey looked at the hostility in Carolyn's eyes, listened to her sharp words, and couldn't help but stifle a laugh.Carolyn felt that her laughter was a mockery of herself, and she angrily said, "Do you think what I said is funny? Do you think you can tie down Uncle Russell with a child and keep him bound for a lifetime? He may have lost his sanity, but we haven't! You can't use a child to manipulate Uncle Russell! My Aunt Zoey is unique, and that's Zoey! And you don't even consider your own age, yet you want to compare yourself to my Aunt Zoey! You don't deserve it!"Aubrie furrowed her brow and scolded, "Carolyn, shut up!"Marlene also almost had a heart attack, she looked at Carolyn and said, "Carolyn, only Yasmine can cure your uncle Russell! Even Roderick is helpless! Don't meddle in it!"Carolyn had red eyes and her voice choked as she said, "Last night, my mom called me and asked me to accept Uncle Russell marrying this old lady. I am unwilling! It's obvious that she has ulterio
Study room.Braylen observed Russell with a serious expression on his face.Russell lounged lazily on the couch, arching an eyebrow playfully. "Brodie, why are you staring at me like that?"Braylen pursed his lips and asked, "Russell, have you really recovered?""Of course."Braylen leaned against the long table, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, shook out one, and lit it. "Do you smoke?"Russell shrugged, "I didn't want Layne to inhale secondhand smoke."Upon hearing the words, Braylen paused for a moment and then pressed the just lit cigarette butt into the ashtray."The child indeed looked a lot like Zoey, but I didn't want you to become a pawn in someone else's game.""Of course not."Braylen nodded slightly and said, "I had always intended to return the position of President of the Maddox Group to you after your recovery, and now it is time for me to hand it over to you. As for the choices and decisions you make in the future, I will have no doubts."Russell chuckled as h
After dinner, Russell and his friends were left behind.Layne was taken for a bath by Marlene and Aubrie, Alonso and Braylen went to the study, and Carolyn returned to the apartment.Russell and Zoey enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.They were walking by the lake, and the streetlights emitted a soft glow, shining on the lush grass, creating an extra cozy atmosphere.Russell suddenly stood face to face with her.Zoey suddenly startled, "What's wrong?"Russell knelt down on one knee and took out a small blue velvet box from his pocket.Opened, inside was a sunflower-shaped diamond ring.The sunflower symbolizes loyalty and admiration. This diamond ring is made up of a two-carat main diamond and twelve small diamonds surrounding it, giving it a delicate and playful feeling, which is perfect for Zoey.Russell looked at her affectionately and said, "At that time, I thought you had passed away, but I promised you the wedding photos, the engagement ring, the custom-made wedding dress, an
Zoey lazily opened her eyes and saw the frosted glass in the bathroom reflecting the hazy silhouette of a man.She turned over weakly and closed her eyes, feeling tired.In no time, the sound of water in the bathroom abruptly ceased, and the man, wearing a bathrobe, walked out. He threw the towel for drying his hair onto the bedside table.Kneeling on the bed, both knees rubbed against Zoey's side.Looking at the woman with her back turned to him, he lowered his head and kissed the hair she had dried for her. "Are you asleep?"Zoey did not answer his words.Russell lay behind her, his hand slipping under the blanket and tracing up her smooth leg.Zoey held the man's hand and said, "Stop it, I was so tired."Russell kissed her cheek and said, "It's only a little past ten, and you're already saying you're tired."Zoey suddenly opened her eyes and turned to him, "We didn't use it just now, what if I got pregnant?""I didn't touch it inside."Zoey glared at him and pursed her lips. "Russe
Carolyn's mouth twitched when she heard the words.Carsen didn't think much about it, he nodded and said, "Sure, it's lively to have a big group for dinner."Carolyn was picking at the package strap, she was absolutely infuriated.A good date between the two turned into a dinner gathering of three.Carsen drove, Carolyn got into the passenger seat, and Angelo sat in the back seat with a bucket of fried chicken, not only feeling cramped with his long legs, but also feeling frustrated in his heart.Throughout the journey, Angelo was chatting with Carsen about the experiment project.Because Carolyn did not participate in this project, she had less opportunity to contribute.Carolyn had been secretly glancing at Carsen, being very cautious.She had heard before that the Keller family was very beautiful.The Keller family's good looks were famously high.At that time, she admired Carsen very much. However, the Keller family was not developing in the country. She first met him at a debate
Carsen looked up and saw Carolyn pretending to be calm while taking photos of her drink."You kids used to really like taking pictures and posting them on social media."Carolyn forced a smile and took advantage of the situation, "Yeah, I'll post a status to let everyone know that the food at this restaurant was quite authentic."Carsen laughed and said, "Three years is a generation gap, and we already have two generation gaps between us."No, you were just focused on academics, neglecting these things. It's okay, you can learn more in the future, there is no generation gap.Carolyn didn't like it when Carsen treated her like a child, which indicated that he wouldn't consider her in his future choice of a partner.Carsen smiled and said, "Then I will learn more."Angelo noticed that Carsen had been in a good mood these past few days. Previously, he had been serious every day. Angelo asked, "Mr. Keller, you seem to be in a good mood these days. Is there something good happening?"Think
Carsen and Carolyn had just arrived at the laboratory, and many classmates casted strange glances at them.Carolyn touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"Adam handed over the phone and said, "There were news online about you and Mr. Keller."Carolyn took a look and furrowed her brows.Carsen stood by her side and naturally saw the photos and news.His thin lips pursed lightly, and a gloomy expression appeared on his usually gentle face."Unrealistic matters, just clarify."Adam laughed and said, "Exactly, these journalists always make something out of nothing. They will do anything to attract traffic and attention."The classmates on the side echoed, "They are all keyboard warriors, irresponsibly talking nonsense. Carolyn, don't be angry, we all know that you are related to Mr. Keller, how could there be any problem?""We have been watching all these years! Mr. Keller treated you as a junior!""Yeah, the Keller family and the Maddox family really cared about repu
As soon as the little one finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Layne looked at them, with a pouty face, "My dad only loved one woman in his life, and that's my mom! My mom's name is Zoey!"Zoey?The crowd was very puzzled."Zoey was pregnant at that time and died, how could this child be Zoey's?""Did Mr. Russell take us all for fools?""Is this how you explained it to Volkswagen and Zoey?""We used to believe in love because of you and Zoey, but we never expected it to eventually fall apart!""Since you said the child was born by Zoey, where is Zoey then?""Yeah, where was the person?"***Russell laughed and said, "Zoey is right here."Everyone started searching everywhere, but Zoey's figure was nowhere to be found.Jaelyn chuckled and put her arm around Zoey's shoulder, "Let me introduce you all to my biological daughter, Zoey!"The crowd. “..."Tabitha nodded, "My granddaughter Zoey!"Royce cleared his throat, "Our Zoey, Zoey!"Marlene walked to the other side of Zoey and took
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
