"No," Lalisa honestly shook her head, "I just feel this secretary is too foolish, she knows that you have a quick temper, yet she still dared to stare curiously.""So, you think I have a bad temper?" Louis said with annoyance."No.""You said I have a bad temper, don't you?" Louis admitted straightforwardly, "Can you handle me easily?"Lalisa didn't say anything more. She took out her mobile phone, glanced at the time, and then stood up to collect her drawings."What are you doing?" Louis asked."Cleaning up my things." Lalisa put her sketches into her bag and put them over her shoulder. Then she looked at Louis and said, "Aren't you going to have an appointment? I don't want to stay here. I want to walk and find something to eat conveniently."After being confined here for half a day, she wanted to leave."Who said you can go?" Louis stood up from his desk, stretched out his hand, and pulled the bag off her shoulder, throwing it onto the chair.He had never respected her belongings.
The gaze made her feel like her body was being dissected piece by piece. It was genuinely uncomfortable.She didn't know how to deal with it, simply ignoring him, allowing him to look as he pleased.The entire food table was served, but Lalisa didn't pay any attention to him, picking up her chopsticks and eating without glancing at him. However, Louis didn't want to let her off so quickly. His gaze continued to wander all over her, repeatedly, time and again."Lalisa," he suddenly called her name."Yeah," she replied with her head down, curtly responding."Lalisa.""..."What did he want to do?Lalisa looked up and turned her gaze toward him. Her eyes met his deep, ocean-like eyes, and she felt as if she was being drawn in, breathless. She was dazed and quickly looked away from his gaze, asking, "Why are you calling me?""Just casually calling you," Louis spoke calmly, then began picking up some vegetables with his chopsticks. Suddenly, he said, "Why did you call yourself Lalisa?"He
Louis drank several cups in a row, his handsome face showing a hint of arrogance towards her outstanding talent."How would you rate my female cook's skills?" Louis looked at the instructors, his eyes high and full of confidence.The instructors exchanged glances, unsure how to respond to Louis's arrogance. One of the teaching instructors said, "90."Louis frowned."Maximum score is 100," the instructor quickly corrected himself, "So, it's acceptable."Only then did Louis raise his eyebrows and tightly hold Lalisa's hand, speaking to the instructors, "From now on, we will come here once a week, and you must teach her all the British delicacies. With her natural talent, two months should be enough, right?""We can do it," facing Louis's arrogance, the teaching instructors had nothing to say."Let's go."Louis switched from pulling her to hugging her and carrying Lalisa in his arms as they left. While walking, he said, "Study well, and when you're done, I'll take you to England."That w
"We should talk about the main issue," Lalisa looked at the concern in her foster mother's eyes, suddenly slightly sarcastic. She pushed her foster mother's hand away and spoke coldly, "I didn't come here to sign anything."The server came and cleaned the table."Lalisa," Tombasta sat down, looking at her with difficulty, bitterness evident on her face, "Your father and I have been arguing for a long time, and he deliberately wants this. He thinks that because you used to be so attached to Jayce, Jayce and Jinx's marriage is not going well, and he wants to expel you from the family.""Wasn't I already expelled from the Grayson family?" Lalisa forced a smile, a hint of bitterness in her eyes, "Several years ago, you already didn't want me to stay in the Grayson family."Expelled. How many times can such a thing happen?"Lalisa.""Now he wants to expel me legally, and it doesn't matter. I'll sign it. I haven't felt like a Grayson family member for a long time anyway," Lalisa said apathe
Lalisa fell silent."Look up at me," Louis scolded, staring at her with annoyance. "You're a grown-up now. No matter who doesn't need you, you can still live on."He didn't like her pitiful appearance.He would prefer if she maintained her cold demeanor as before. At least then she would be angry, not pitiful like now."I once read a phrase in a book," Lalisa's voice suddenly echoed in the car, hoarse from crying."What phrase?""Everyone needs a home because no matter how far and how long you travel, no matter how good or hard your journey is, when you turn back, there will always be solid support waiting for you to rest." Lalisa slowly lifted her head, looking at Louis. Suddenly, she smiled calmly, "I can survive, but I don't have a home."She narrated as if telling a story.From now on, she honestly had no home.Lalisa didn't cry, but her face was covered in tears, her eyes reddened, and she was smiling, a smile that was so moving. Her lower lip was bleeding, bitten hard, making he
Seeing Jayce Sherwood's hesitant attitude, Jinx happily realized she had an opportunity. Like a bit of bird, she nestled up to him and said softly, "It's okay. I need you by my side.""Of course, I'll always be by your side."Jayce Sherwood embraced her, gently patting her back with his slender white hand. His voice remained as tender as before, but his eyes were fixed on the documents in Tombasta's hand.Lalisa had slept deeply throughout the night, and the sun's rays shining through the window woke her up in the luxurious bedroom. She felt soreness in her legs. Last night, she had been played with by Louis and was almost exhausted. Ultimately, she fell asleep completely tired, nestled in his embrace.Lalisa looked to the side, but Louis was no longer in bed.She sat up, reaching out to touch her face. There was a faint scent of bath lotion, but she couldn't remember if she had taken a bath last night.Lalisa tapped her head, trying to recall. She vaguely remembered feeling someone h
His cold black eyes gazed at her as Lalisa exited the car and walked through the wild grass, her delicate feet slowly approaching a dilapidated wall. The sunlight fell upon her face, highlighting her exceptionally fair skin.The farther she ran, the farther Louis watched her, and a pang of discomfort spread through his chest, making him push the car door open and follow her. His leather shoes got dirty, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, but he still followed her footsteps."What are you planning to do?" Louis looked at her, asking in a deep voice.Lalisa walked to the old, crumbling wall in front of her. It was very long, covered in cracks and destruction.She looked at it briefly and said softly, "It would be nice if I had some spray paint.""Spray paint?" Louis repeated her words."Yes, after I finish studying, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I paint on the walls everywhere." Thinking of her younger self, Lalisa couldn't help but laugh as she stood before the crumbling wall. "When
"But it's not broken, just a slight mark," she said. If it's not injured, why should she care? And he wanted her to blow on it like a child."Do you intend to blow on it or not?" Louis looked at her sternly, with an overbearing attitude that made it impossible for her to refuse.They stood at the head of the street, and although it was quiet, there were passersby. Some girls standing on the other side of the road curiously watched them.Reluctantly, Lalisa looked into the hungry gaze of Louis. After hesitating for a moment and seeing more and more people around, she could do nothing but stretch out her hands and blow gently on his forehead, asking, "Is that okay?""No, blow again," Louis commanded.Lalisa could only continue blowing for him.After a while, Lalisa's mouth began to hurt, and more and more people gathered around. She didn't want to stay here any longer. "Are you done?"How long did he want her to keep blowing?"Alright." Louis was finally satisfied with her blowing and l
