At that moment, Joselyn could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
She thought, could it be that Brodie wanted to kiss her?
Was she going to accept or refuse?
Oh my God!
How could she have such a thought?
If it were Dwayne instead, she would definitely have refused immediately.
What to do?
Oh my God!
What was she thinking, after all?
Brodie extended his fingertips and wiped them on the corner of her lips, "Got a little bit of hot oil on them."
Joselyn's face turned red all of a sudden. It turned out that she had thought Brodie wanted to kiss her.
She sighed, feeling a hint of disappointment in her heart.
"Thank you. Shall we continue?"
Brodie nodded lightly, "Okay."
After Joselyn finished her explanation, Brodie started to pick up his pen and tried to draw.
She discovered that the painting Brodie had done was probably the likeness of a woman, and she couldn't help but become
At that time, Deborah received photos sent by a private detective.There were people kissing on the ground, others buying couple-themed milk tea, and some happily dining at a fondue restaurant. Each photo stimulated her nerves and ignited anger in her heart.She didn't understand why Brodie would be interested in Joselyn, a stupid person, and she didn't understand what was wrong with herself.She thought about the comic convention that would take place in ten days. Her eyes flickered as she came up with a brilliant idea.She dialed a phone number and said, "Noah Wilkerson, are you going to attend the comic convention in a few days? How about I give you a gift?"***Joselyn didn't know what was wrong with Brodie, as he had been maintaining a distant and indifferent attitude towards her since that night.She invited him to have a meal, but he didn't go.She invited him to the art studio, but he said he didn't have time.Sh
Kinley and Laurel were discharged together three days later, and they went straight back to the Rosario's manor.Kinley called Joselyn and asked her to come to the Rosario's manor for dinner in the evening. He said that the butler would come to pick her up.Joselyn glanced at her wristwatch and realized that there was still one hour left until the agreed time.She contacted the butler and asked him to wait outside the flower shop in the community.She saved the sketch, took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and left the study to freshen up. After applying a light makeup, she changed into a casual wool knit suit and paired it with a matching tan long coat and snow boots. She grabbed her bag and went out.She went to the flower shop outside the community, picked two big bunches of carnations, and drove to the Rosario's manor.The butler said, "Tonight, the Rosario's manor had an important guest."Joselyn, who was smelling the fragrance
Joselyn was suddenly pulled into someone's arms and found herself lying on the strong chest of a man.She looked at Brodie in astonishment, "Professor Keller, you have had too much to drink."Brodie looked at her, his eyes dark and deep behind the lenses. He raised his hand and gently caressed the girl's delicate face, "I'm sorry, I really am sorry."Joselyn was very puzzled, "What sorry, what are you talking about?"Brodie didn't say anything more, but simply pressed her head against his chest.Joselyn listened to the man's low sobbing, and the constant rise and fall of his chest, knowing that he was crying.Didn't he just distance himself from her?Is it not to the extent of feeling guilty?Joselyn wanted to get up, but she found herself tightly bound by the man and unable to move at all."Professor Keller, what happened to you in the end?"Brodie just kept saying sorry.After a while, the man stopped nag
How was she supposed to say this?He held her tightly and repeatedly said sorry to her.The whole thing was already quite ambiguous, and now their interaction has become quite delicate. If they were to speak about it, both of them would feel awkward.Joselyn was also curious, why didn't Brodie dare to apologize to her face?Could it be that a man's ego was at play?Doesn't letting go of her mean that he actually liked me a little bit in his heart?She thought all night but couldn't come up with a reason, but she did gain something, a pair of dark circles under her eyes.Joselyn lowered her gaze guiltily and said, "I have nothing, there is no need for me to deceive you."Brodie breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.Joselyn felt a bit awkward, it was just an apology, why couldn't he say it in person!Brodie nodded, "That's good."Afterwards, the two of them remained silent.W
Since the opening, Joselyn had not seen Brodie for a week.She was very busy this week because the opening day brought her a lot of fans of Kristian, Madeleine, and Zoey, which in turn brought a wave of consumers, so her art studio received many customers every day.These customers naturally had some comic fans, and they were very interested in Joselyn and Dwayne's drawings. However, the number of their daily artworks was limited, so the customers started making appointments.Joselyn and Dwayne used to paint in the studio until midnight, and then Dwayne would take Joselyn back home.The news of their relationship spread, and it became more and more exaggerated. It was even rumored that they had reached the point of meeting each other's parents and getting married.Of course, this was what Deborah said.She sat in the studio, looking at Joselyn's studio not far away, her heart filled with jealousy.In just one week, they earned nearly
Brodie, upon hearing the words, couldn't help but look at her again.After all, it was him who wanted to stay away from Joselyn in the first place. Naturally, he understood the girl's intention. She didn't want him to misunderstand and think that she wanted to cling to him.On the way, neither of them spoke again.The car stopped in front of Kerroley Paradise, and as soon as Brodie unbuckled his seatbelt, he saw Joselyn had already opened the door and ran towards the apartment building.He furrowed his brow, pushed open the door and followed up, only to see that Joselyn had already entered the carriage and was reaching out to press the button on the side of the door.When the car door closed, their gazes were separated.Joselyn leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.Even though nothing happened between the two of them, they still felt incredibly awkward.After Joselyn entered the house, she received a Line from Brod
Joselyn raised an eyebrow, "You really lived a long life, huh?"Jaime was stunned by this nonsensical statement.He furrowed his brows in confusion and asked, "What does that mean?"Joselyn chuckled, "So you mean to say that the women's liberation movement has been going on for so many years, and you are still living in the past?""Are you insulting me?" Jaime understood.Joselyn sighed lightly, "I really don't understand how you still have outdated thoughts. Why should women be subservient to men? Why should they be considered inferior to men? Why should they have to give up their careers and become a machine for pleasing their in-laws and raising children? Women also have ambitions and can achieve just as much as men. Do you know that my art studio makes a weekly turnover of half a million? That's enough to cover three months of what you give me in just one week! And as for the wedding gifts and dowry, I'm saying I want billions, can the Herman f
Kinley looked confused and asked, "What happened? Where is the heir of the Herman family?"She looked at the hands of the two people shaking and asked, "What is this?"Joselyn followed her gaze and quickly pulled her hand back from the man's hand. She pursed her lips and said, "I have nothing to do with Professor Keller. Just now, that Jaime insulted me verbally and even wanted to hit me. Luckily, Professor Keller helped me, otherwise I would have been in a miserable state. Mom, please don't arrange blind dates for me anymore. I'm only in my twenties and not in a hurry. Why do I have to get engaged or married so early?"Kinley frowned, "How did he insult you?"Joselyn sighed lightly, she didn't want to anger Kinley, after all, she had just had a heart transplant and couldn't afford to get angry.She said, "I don't want to talk about this anymore, anyway it's not pleasant. Mom, there is no good news today, only bad news. The blind date plan you arra
The evening sun's afterglow shone through the broken glass into the factory.Nancy knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, "Elliott, please don't hurt her, okay? She's just a five-year-old child."Elliott sneered, "Child? So what? Amiya is sad, none of you can be happy! Amiya is in jail, you all will be buried with her! It's all because of your existence that Dalton lost his mind! What can you compare to Amiya? Dalton is truly blind! What have you all turned Amiya into, such a good, innocent and kind person? Tell me, are you all wrong or not?"Nancy couldn't argue with him, afraid of angering him, as he would do something to harm Nancy."We were wrong, all of us. Elliott, could you please put the knife down? Calm down a bit, what you're doing is not worth it."Elliott pointed a knife at Nancy and said, "Not worth it? It's definitely worth it! I'm going to kill all three of you today, oh wait, it's actually four of you, because you're pregnant! M
Dalton was afraid of making Nancy dizzy, so he quickly stopped.In the midst of joy, it is essential to ensure safety and not get carried away.The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes couldn't help but become moist.It was really not easy to come this far.Dalton held Nancy tightly, a 6'2" man burying his face in the crook of her neck, and cried out in suppressed sobs.Nancy patted the man's sturdy back and said, "All the hardships have passed, and we will only get better."Dalton nodded, "It would be fine."Chelsea's call interrupted the two of them. Dalton and Nancy looked over and saw a woman, tears streaming down her face, filled with guilt.Chelsea said, "Nancy, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."Nancy laughed and said, "Whether there were misunderstandings or not, at that moment, we were expressing our normal and true thoughts."Chelsea asked, "Are you blaming me?"Nancy raised an ey
Dalton looked past her indifferently and gave her an affirmative answer, "Yes!"Amiya simply couldn't accept the fact that she had gone from being a hunter to being the hunted, being manipulated by others."How could this happen? How? Where did it go wrong?" She couldn't believe that her perfect plan had failed.She looked down at the baby in her arms, and it was not Dalton's child at all. Whose child was it?She looked at Sam abruptly, "Whose sperm is this? Whose?"Sam's mouth twitched, "I just randomly picked one, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"There were three types of people who stored sperm in the sperm bank in the past. One type was the highly educated individuals, another type was the wealthy individuals, and the third type was the lower-class individuals.Those low-level workers who couldn't afford to marry a wife, but still wanted to have descendants everywhere, would adopt such a way of behavior.Dalton smirked, "Wo
The Jenkins family invited the big shots from the upper class circle to their full moon banquet, and most of them came to the party with the intention of just watching the excitement.After all, who doesn't love to eat the melon of a wealthy family?The Blevins family, who were once expelled from overseas by Dalton, have also become honored guests and have risen in status, all because the wife who couldn't conceive was abandoned and the mistress, with the birth of a child, managed to turn her life around.People who used to sneer at them in the past, now when they see them, they can't help but nod and flatter them.The banquet hall was lavishly decorated, with photos and videos of the little baby playing on the LED big screen. Dalton was greeting the guests with Amiya, going around.Everyone treated her politely and called her Mrs. Jenkins.Only the Jenkins family and the Blevins family knew that Dalton and Nancy had not yet obtained a divorce certificate.Dalton's excuse was that Nan
Nancy held Nacy in her arms, watching all of this coldly. Chelsea, who had once treated her like a daughter, became hysterical in that moment.The people around kept pointing and whispering."This woman actually targeted a pregnant woman. She is truly wicked!"Anyway, the child was innocent!"You saw how she hurt the pregnant woman, and she didn't feel any guilt at all. This kind of person should be cyberbullied!""That's right! Send photos, send videos to her and upload them online!"***Nacy tightly held onto Nancy's neck, fear evident in her eyes. "Mom, I'm scared.""Don't be afraid, I would protect you."Chelsea looked as Amiya's skirt became stained with blood, and she felt a sense of unease. She directed her anger towards Nancy and said, "Nancy, you wanted to exterminate the Jenkins family, didn't you? You and this bastard have truly destroyed the Jenkins family!"Bastard?As soon as this word came out, the onlookers all imagined a grand drama of a wealthy family."Could it be t
Nancy looked at Dalton and asked, "Did your mother have any thoughts of divorcing me now?"Dalton didn't want any rift between the two of them, so he spoke honestly, "There's something, I guess Amiya did some brainwashing on her. But it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because no one can influence me. The reason why my parents are acting this way is also because Amiya is really good at manipulating people. Nancy, you are in my eyes and in my heart."Nancy sighed lightly, "I know, I won't run away or be cowardly like before. I loved you, and I fought for us, unless one day you didn't want me anymore."Dalton's thin lips curved up, "I was really afraid that you would bring up the child and say that you wanted to leave me, and all that. We don't want to reach that point, you know?"Nancy nodded, "We could give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can go for in vitro fertilization."Dalton was glad that she was able to open up, and he embraced her in his arms. "Good. It's coming s
Carolyn, sitting in a wheelchair, twitched at the corner of her mouth, "Can that be done?"Carsen chuckled, "Of course not, I was just kidding with you."Carolyn pouted, "At a time like this, you still feel like joking?"Carsen raised her hand and rubbed her head, "My darling is going to be a mother, just kidding with you."Carolyn looked up and smiled, but in the next second, a wave of pain hit her, and Carolyn's face suddenly changed."Ouch, ouch, ouch! It seems like I was about to give birth!"Carsen hurriedly pushed Carolyn towards the elevator.Russell and Zoey followed behind, but their pace was slightly slower. By the time they arrived, Carsen and Carolyn had already gone up in the elevator.Russell took a deep breath, and Zoey looked at him with amusement. "Are you nervous?""Indeed, a little bit, I can't imagine what it would be like when you gave birth."Zoey held his hand and said, "Don't worry, nothing would happen."After a day of turmoil, Carolyn and Carsen's daughter wa
Eugene glared at Dalton and said, "You idiot! How could you say such a thing?"Dalton sneered, "Isn't this what you were doing? Treading carefully, ultimately pushing me into a corner and forcing me to surrender!"Eugene gritted his teeth and almost spat out the words from between his teeth, "Your attitude towards me is absolutely outrageous!""Sorry!" Dalton stood up, adjusting his cufflinks. "I couldn't do any of the things you mentioned. You can have Amiya live wherever you want, even if it means she moves into the Jenkins's manor, I won't object. With or without her, with or without me!"After saying that, Dalton directly pulled the door and left.Eugene looked at the closed door and lit a cigarette.He believed that everything he was doing now was for the good of Dalton. Being unfilial has no future, so are all the industries of the Jenkins family going to be donated in the future? Of course, there must be his own flesh and blood to inherit them!He felt that Dalton would start w
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
