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."<
Brodie made two servings of spaghetti, and both of them enjoyed it.After eating, Brodie washed the dishes while Joselyn kept him company."Shall we go and paint?"Joselyn shook her head, "I will accompany you and paint after you leave."Brodie glanced at her and said, "Where am I supposed to go? Kinley has already agreed to live together."Joselyn pursed her lips and said, "Isn't this a good idea?""Didn't we live together before? At that time, we hadn't become a couple yet, but now it's official. Are you still going to ask me to leave?""Suit yourself." Joselyn hurriedly stepped out of the kitchen, feeling a bit embarrassed.She entered the study and picked up a paintbrush, getting ready to paint. However, her heart had already drifted into the kitchen, with a smile lingering on her lips.She didn't expect that she could really be with Brodie, after all, Brodie was good-looking, tall, well-educated, and good in every w
After Brodie and Joselyn had breakfast, they took Joselyn to the art studio.Dwayne couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw Joselyn being brought by a man."Is this resolved now?"Joselyn smirked and said, "I used to have a boyfriend! Haha, so did you!"Dwayne sighed lightly, "Your boyfriend could be approved, the probability of my boyfriend being accepted is almost zero."Joselyn patted the man's shoulder and said, "Love knows no boundaries, be it nationality, age, or even gender, and species."Dwayne's mouth twitched, "Joselyn, were you too excited? Has this escalated to the level of species?"Joselyn laughed and said, "Sorry, I misspoke."Dwayne let out a long sigh and said, "I was so scared."He followed Joselyn up to the third floor and watched as she took out a computer and other devices from her bag, leaning against the table. "Professor Keller still had a brain."Although it is a compliment to Brodie,
After work, Brodie drove to the art studio.Because it was close to New Year's Day, most people chose to travel, so the art studio had few visitors.Whenever there were customers, it was Dwayne who introduced them, while Joselyn was painting on the third floor.Dwayne saw a man come in and greet him, and Brodie nodded before going upstairs.Joselyn was facing away from the staircase, wearing a cream-colored knitted coat, and was engrossed in drawing.Hearing footsteps, Joselyn didn't look up. "The customers have all left, right?"Not hearing the man answer the question, she sat up straight and turned around.The cool scent of wood reached her nostrils, and thin lips kissed her lips.Although they soon separated, it also made Joselyn's heart beat faster.She blinked her eyes lightly and said, "Why did you come so early?""I wanted to give you a surprise."Joselyn giggled and said, "I don't believe it. You mu
Brodie was indeed much older than Joselyn, but that's just how relationships are.Fate has arrived, age and such are not a problem.Brodie clicked his tongue and said, "You brat, do you still want the latest anime figurines?"Layne looked at him with an innocent little gaze and said, "If you don't take me, Joselyn will take me!"Brodie laughed and said, "You were quite good at pinpointing other people's weaknesses."Layne smirked and said, "Dad told me that every time he wanted to discipline me, I would bring up Mom, and it worked really well."Brodie looked at Russell, who shrugged and said, "Like father, like son. Layne learned well."Brodie chuckled lightly, "Shouldn't it be 'afraid of the wife'?"Russell curved his lips and said, "This was a virtue, learn it well and be careful not to be dumped."Brodie: "..."His mouth was still so venomous, I wish I had beaten him up more back then.Russell raised an
The weather was extremely cold, and Royce got into the car with Viviana.The little person sat in the passenger seat, dressed in a soft and fluffy manner, looking just like a little steamed bun."How old are you?"Royce habitually reached for the cigarette box, but when he remembered there were children in the car, he stopped this action."I was five years old, oh." Viviana extended her tender little hand, with five fingers resembling tender shoots of bamboo.Royce thought it was cute and reached out to poke it.Viviana immediately withdrew her hand, "My mother said that men and women should not be too familiar with each other.""So, you dared to talk to me?""So, don't I have to find someone to borrow a phone from?""...it seems to be something like this."Royce asked, "Does your mother still have to work so late?""Yeah, Mom said that only by working can Viviana earn a lot of money.""Why do you ne
Brodie pulled the girl over and sat her on his lap, handing her the phone, "You look."Joselyn looked at the news and tightened her lips.After all, when the events of that year were exposed, she, as the person involved, was also labeled as a plagiarist, and her emotions fluctuated.Brodie took off the dry towel that was wrapped around her hair, letting her dark wet hair fall behind her. She smoothed it with her hand and said, "Isn't this exactly how we expected it to unfold?"Joselyn nodded, "That's true, but I still felt uncomfortable in my heart.""During the week before the new year, you didn't have to go to the art studio. Stay at home and paint well. Don't watch any news or reply to any messages. I stayed at home with you during that week."Joselyn looked at the man in surprise, "Didn't you have surgery?""In very special circumstances, I would go again, but for the rest of the time, I would stay and accompany you."Josel
Jaelyn has always been perceived as gentle and kind, but today she unexpectedly confronted Deborah for the sake of Joselyn.Joselyn pursed her lips and said, "Jaelyn, thank you for being willing to believe me."Jaelyn smiled and held her hand, "You are the one Brodie has chosen, which means you are the one we have chosen. In a few days, you should start calling me mom. After the new year, our families can meet and we can get engaged first, and then find a good day to get married. Madeleine, Zoey, and Carolyn are not married yet, so how about the four of you together?"Madeleine laughed and said, "Mom, if you were to have a collective wedding for us, the first one to disagree would be Russell. He has been looking forward to this wedding for many years. On the small island, there have been quite a few jokes because of who had their wedding first."Jaelyn asked, "What joke?"Zoey curved her lips and said, "At first, they competed on the spinning wheel
Almost everyone who stayed up until midnight to celebrate the New Year saw these negative news about Deborah.The Hester family, except for Deborah, were all immersed in their sleep. She had originally planned to read online comments insulting Joselyn to ease the humiliation she had experienced during the day, but what she ended up receiving was her own exposure."How could this happen? How is it possible?"Deborah went crazy and fiercely grabbed her hair, why didn't things develop as she had hoped? Why were all her secrets exposed?She thought and thought, and there was only one reason, everything was because of Joselyn, all the bad things were done by this damn bitch.Joselyn was like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, constantly spying on her triumph.Deborah smashed all the items in the room.The loud noise woke up the Hester family, and Axel quickly knocked on the door."Deborah, what happened?""Open the door fo
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
