The next morning, Joselyn was awakened by a burst of fragrance.
She groggily opened her eyes, sat up and looked around, then sniffed.
It was not a dream, it was true that there was the smell of food.
She lifted the covers off the bed, barefoot, and opened the door to run out.
She thought it was Kinley who had come, after all, Kinley had been eager to come before.
She saw a familiar man's figure in the kitchen.
Hearing a sound, Brodie turned around, "Awake?"
Just like before at his house, he would ask the same way, only now the location has changed to Joselyn's house.
Joselyn tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "How did you come over here?"
"I was afraid that you didn't have breakfast, after all, you just came back home and there was nothing prepared to eat."
Joselyn sighed, indeed it was true.
Brodie turned off the stove, scooped a bowl of oatmeal and placed it on the glass table, with three plates
Brodie was initially stunned, but then smiled warmly and said, "Kinley, you're here."Kinley looked at the handsome and upright man in front of her, and the more she looked, the more pleasing he became. After all, he was her prospective son-in-law. However, if these two pretended not to be a couple and were willing to play along, then she would go along with it until the end.She nodded slightly and said, "Brodie is here. Why do you have so much free time today? Is the hospital not busy?"Brodie explained, "I was still busy, but I managed to find some time to cook a meal for Joselyn."He conscientiously changed his shoes and walked in, saying, "I bought fish and vegetables."Kinley smiled and took it, "Last time I asked you to take care of Joselyn, I didn't expect you to take it to heart and specially come to cook for her. But you don't have to do it today, I have already prepared the meal. It's just in time for lunch, let's eat together."B
Joselyn felt familiar with this scene, but couldn't remember where she had seen it before.Brodie said, "Was it in the past?""What?" Joselyn asked, puzzled.Brodie moved closer again and said, word by word, "Is it recalling the scene when you and I kissed that day?"Joselyn's mind buzzed for a moment, "I, I didn't!"Her face turned red with embarrassment, resembling a cooked shrimp.She pretended to push him, but Brodie lowered his head and his nose touched hers. "Does this remind you of anything? You were the one who made the first move.""You were talking nonsense.""Hmm," Brodie cleared his throat, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, just remember this."He tilted his head, thin lips landing on the girl's rosy lips, tossing and turning.Joselyn clenched the man's shirt, her eyes widened in surprise, and a shiver ran through her body.She breathed heavily and accidentally bit the man's lip.
Joselyn felt that she had a painful first half and a comfortable second half of sleep.She slowly opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was the handsome profile of a man.With long and thick eyelashes, a high and straight nose bridge, and slightly upturned corners of the lips in a light shade of red, which man from a family looked so handsome?Oh, was she still in her dream?It must be true, otherwise how could a handsome man suddenly appear and sleep beside her?Joselyn had a bit of a wandering eye, after all, it was just a dream, so touching wouldn't be a crime, right?She reached out her fingertips and tentatively traced the handsome contours of the man's face.When her fingertips were above the man's thin lips, Joselyn suddenly thought of the scene where the two of them were kissing.The man's warmth and softness felt like QQ candy.She mischievously winked.Suddenly, as it fell from her fingertips, it was se
"You, it's actually you!"Noah was extremely shocked, "Brodie! What were you going to do?"Brodie walked to his side and took out a surgical knife from the tray.The short surgical knife glimmered in the light as it spun back and forth. "Do you know why I brought you here?""I don't know, what did you want to do?"Brodie smiled as he pressed the surgical knife against the man's carotid artery, "If I gently cut open this blood vessel, in about two minutes, you would be meeting Satan."Noah's voice trembled, "You dare not, this is murder, it is illegal! The Keller family, no matter how powerful, must abide by the law!"Brodie chuckled, "You talking to me about the law? How many laws did you break? How many girls did you harm? You deserved to die the most!"The surgical knife slowly moved up along Noah's neck, cutting through his lips and stopping at the tip of his nose.Brodie's tone was light, "What would it look like if
Joselyn did not tell Brodie the password, but Brodie still showed up at her doorstep early in the morning.The two of them were talking on the phone when Joselyn secretly ran over to peek at him through the peephole."Let me in and I will make you a delicious breakfast.""Um, I could do it myself! Professor Keller, please leave!"Brodie sighed lightly, "Do I really have to go back?""Um.""Then I went to the hospital.""Okay.""Is there nothing you have to say to me?""No."Brodie chuckled mischievously and said, "Then I will eat with you tonight, let's have fondue."Joselyn didn't say yes, but she also didn't say no.Brodie had to go to the hospital for a consultation today and had a surgery, so he couldn't accompany her during the day.However, he had booked breakfast and lunch at a seven-star hotel for Joselyn.When Brodie arrived at the hospital, he saw Deborah, who had been waiting
Joselyn stood there, her dark eyes fixed on the man, and she opened her mouth.When she realized it, she was a little annoyed that the man was teasing her and was busy turning back to close the door.The man extended his foot to block, "Tsk, it caught my foot, quite painful. What if I can't stand on the operating table?"Joselyn quickly pushed open the door, afraid that she might really trap his foot, and he would no longer be able to have the surgery.Brodie took the opportunity to enter the house and quickly changed his shoes.Joselyn closed the door, "Did I catch it?"Brodie nodded and said, "What should we do?"Joselyn saw that he had no problem walking, so she knew he was deceiving her. She snorted and said, "I should have known to push harder.""If I were really injured, wouldn't you take care of me?""Not at all!"Brodie chuckled, "So heartless?"He glanced at the bouquet on the ground and asked, "Do
Joselyn furrowed her brows slightly, previously Brodie had thought that Deborah had some issues, but now the two of them could actually be together, laughing and talking happily.Why can men appear to like you and still go on dates with other women?Maybe it was just not enough liking, not enough love.She had not even said yes to Brodie being her boyfriend, and he was already eagerly looking for someone else.She was just a small fish in his big net.In just a few seconds, she came to the conclusion that Brodie was a scumbag, a player.But Joselyn felt really upset in her heart, because only when you care, you will feel sad.She was about to suggest going to a different restaurant, but Dwayne, the unreliable teammate, walked away."What a coincidence! Professor Keller, is this your girlfriend?"Brodie chuckled and said, "He was a friend."Deborah was a little disappointed, but when she saw Joselyn's face change,
Joselyn sat on the cushion in front of the French window, with her hands wrapped around her knees and her face buried.She heard the doorbell ring and looked up, turning her head to see.Who would it be at this point in time?It should be Dwayne, he was worried about her.She stood up and walked over. Through the peephole, she saw Brodie standing at the door.She subconsciously pursed her lips, her heart racing, and couldn't help but clench her fists.How did he come back?Was it to come and make it clear to her, so that she wouldn't have any delusions?She closed her eyes and said, "I know what you want to say, so you don't need to say it. I am self-aware, and I won't contact you in the future, I won't bother you in your life. You have the majority of the shares in the art studio, and I will transfer all the money to you. Let's consider it as if we don't know each other when we meet again, let's delete each other's contacts."
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
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.
