In the current society, everyone had a smartphone, from the youngest elementary student to the oldest elders of 80 to 90 years old. All kinds of apps were available for download, and creating an app for the mute and the deaf to help them solve their daily problems sounded like a great charity project. There were existing apps on the market that could convert voice to words, but they were not stable or powerful enough to help the deaf and mute in their daily lives. After hearing Thomas out, she started to understand his intention and motive. “I think you understand the needs and wants of the deaf and mute the best, so I want to ask you to help me. Is that okay?” Thomas looked at Jessica. He was not making fun of her being mute. Instead, he sounded sincere with his request. Jessica knew that the man did not look down on her because, among all the people she knew, he was the only one who praised her sign language. If such an app could exist, it would be very beneficial to the de
Jessica was shocked. When she turned around and saw Blake behind her, she glared at him and reached out to him, trying to get her phone back. Blake grunted. He dodged her hands and lifted the phone to his face, trying to find out what she had been up to. Upset, she stood up on the couch and immediately became taller than him. However, Blake easily dodged her and held her back single-handedly as he squinted his eyes at the phone screen. He was surprised when he finally saw the contents on the phone. He thought that she was chatting with someone, but she was actually jotting down notes. The note was filled with all kinds of words for daily use and they were listed down neatly. Sorry. Thank you. I’m happy. How much is this? Strawberry. Apple. Watermelon. All the words felt like they had been copied from Winson’s illustrated cards. The further Blake scrolled, the tighter his brows grew. “Why are you writing all this? Are you trying to make a label or something?” J
Blake returned to the study and locked the door. He went on Weibo, and what he read made him furrow his brows. There was a newly followed page in the list of supported pages on Jessica’s page: ‘Bright Life Culture Inc.’.… Joe was on a date with his new girlfriend, and they were in the theatre, watching a movie. Just as he tried to hold his girlfriend’s hand, the phone in his pocket vibrated, alarming him. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was his boss. Joe helplessly wiped his forehead. His girlfriend glared at him and he apologetically smiled at her. “It’s a call from God. I must answer this.” His girlfriend pouted. “You are not working now. Why are you answering your boss’s call? I always turn off my work phone!” Joe was having a headache. His new girlfriend might be beautiful, but she had a short-temper. “It’s just a phone call.” “Who is more important, your boss or me?” Joe looked at his girlfriend’s beautiful face and patted her head. “Stay here.” He t
Joe said, “Since Bright Life is practically a new company, they haven’t done anything major, so their next step is to make their grand entrance into the market and attract attention. Other than some other sizable projects, the company is also working on a charity project.” “Charity?” A charity project was a good way to attract attention and fans. Blake leaned to the side and propped his hand on the arm of the chair. He was rubbing his forehead as though some heavy thoughts were going through his mind. “Right, the charity project hasn’t been announced, but based on what I found, they are trying to build an app for the deaf and mute.” When Joe mentioned the app, Blake squinted his eyes. He finally got the answer that he had been seeking. ‘So, Jessica followed Bright Life’s page and has been doing homework every day because she’s involved in it? Hmmm….’ When Joe saw the ambiguous look on his boss's face, his back suddenly felt cold and the chill ran down his spine. When he
Thomas furrowed his brows immediately and refused to think about the suggested hypothesis. He glanced at Harvey as his gaze looked slightly colder, “You are saying if she’s my wife. Things are already done, so there’s no point in theorizing further.” Thomas did not want to think about useless speculations. Harvey raised a brow at his friend. Once a man had his thoughts about a woman, even if it was just a spark of interest, the man would eventually fall for her like he was trapped in a sinking pit, driving him mad until the very end. He had a hunch that Thomas and Jessica were just getting started. The unintentional meeting was always meant to be the starting point of an ill-fated relationship. Harvey said, “I’m just reminding you that you can’t afford to get tangled with a woman like her.” Aside from the fact that she was already Blake’s wife, her being a mute was the biggest flaw that stopped her from making her presence in upper-class society. Now, whenever Blake attended
Blake moved his long legs and caught up with Jessica in less than two steps. He grabbed her by the arm and stared down at her. “Where have you been?” Jessica’s arm hurt. She furrowed her beautiful brows and signed to him, “I was helping my friend.” Blake grinned at her. “Friend? Thomas Wayne?” Jessica was shocked, and she looked at him in disbelief. “How did you find out?” She knew he would be angry, so she did not tell him about the charity project and the app. Thomas’s identity seemed a little awkward to Jessica, but the desire to ‘speak’ allowed her to put the awkwardness aside. After spending a few days with Thomas, she realized that the man was an easy-going person and someone who she could call a friend. In her current situation, she did not even have a friend around her, and being able to get involved in such a project made her feel useful. Jessica did not deny the fact that she was with Thomas which made Blake even angrier. ‘She really was with Thomas Wayne!’
Even Blake himself could not explain why he felt so complicated. At first, he was just angry because Jessica was seeing Thomas, but when he calmed down, he realized that he was actually afraid. He felt scared. As for what he was afraid about, he dared not and did not want to get to the bottom of it. After all, she was his legitimate wife and she was not allowed to see other men, especially Thomas Wayne! After Jessica put Winson to sleep and returned to her room, she saw Blake on her bed. She frowned, unhappy that the man was in her room. It was difficult for her to feel light-hearted after the argument. They did not have sex for the past few days, and she was not in the mood, especially now. Blake noticed she was still wearing the same sweater which had a wet stain on her chest. She must have gotten it dirty when she bathed Winson. Jessica herself did not even notice that her black bra was showing through her white sweater. Blake gulped and said in a heavy tone, “What are y
Jessica widened her eyes in shock as her face turned slightly pale. They had been married for three years, but he still hated her. For the sake of her family, she had taken his happiness and his pride away, forcing him to suffer with her in this grave of a marriage. She bit her lip tightly. It was then that knocks came from the door. Ms. Susan came in with the medicine and said, “Sir, the medicine is ready.” Blake stared at Jessica. He ought to watch her finish the medicine this time. Jessica held the bowl of medicine in her hands. She really wanted to throw it into his face, but she knew the consequences of doing so. In the end, she could not do anything but swallow her grief together with the bitter medicine. The bitterness filled her mouth. Just when she wanted to have a candy to clean her palate, she was lifted up whole and tossed onto the bed. Before she could even react, Blake tore her pajamas off as if he had captured his prey. Then, he quickly got on top of her.
