Raymond was surprised when Isabelle contacted him. He did not expect the young Miss of the Schick family to look for him.Isabelle frankly said, “Since Sis Bambi puts a lot of effort into you, and she’s constantly thinking of you, that means she does like you. However, she’s the kind of person that…”Isabelle explained, “I’ve heard about this from my mother. Sis Bambi’s late parents couldn’t let each other know their love before their passing. They didn’t know they loved each other, even until their death. That’s why she isn’t willing to believe in love!“Raymond, since she really wants you to be her lover, that means she does yearn for you. If you really like her, you shouldn’t avoid her. Instead, try to come up with ways to make her face her real feelings.”Raymond fell silent. He carefully considered what Isabelle said with his books in his arms. The students that passed by energetically greeted him.“Hi, Mr. Swift! Bye, Mr. Swift!”Raymond nodded at his students. Then, he ask
When Lucas arrived in Ireland, Cedar was not around as he had returned to Norway to get his identification documents. He could have let his assistant get them for him instead, but he did not.For Cedar, he could let others help in anything else except for the matters relating to his marriage registration. Even if it was troublesome, he still insisted on making a trip just to collect his documents.Isabelle hugged Lucas’s arm and explained, “We’re just signing the papers. I didn’t want to trouble you at first, but I still think that I want you to be our witness! Brother Lucas, you’re very important to me. That’s why I really want you to be my marriage registration’s witness.”During her actual wedding, only Zachary could be the formal witness of their marriage. There was no alternative.Lucas understood Isabelle’s thoughts.“Well, this is already more than enough,” said Lucas.Isabelle suddenly mentioned Caroline.“Brother Lucas, you must really love Mother, right?”Lucas could
After learning about Raymond and Bambi’s story, Caroline enthusiastically helped Raymond to trick Bambi. She also got Leo involved in her plan.Leo was already married to Emmi by then, and he was no longer working as Caroline’s bodyguard. Even so, whenever Caroline requested for him, he would help her immediately. For that, Emmi still disliked Caroline.By the time Leo and Emmi got married, Leo was already a presentable businessman in the Schick Corporation. Tucker trained him well. Gradually, Leo earned his own career and wealth.He was finally at the same status as Emmi, and he could propose to her. At last, they got married.Leo’s dreams came true.Although Emmi did not say anything, she was certainly grateful to Caroline for training Leo well.Five years ago, Caroline told Leo to ‘kidnap’ Raymond. Once they were certain of Bambi’s feelings for Raymond, they injured Raymond severely.Bambi was deeply in love with Raymond.While Raymond was on the verge of dying, Bambi finall
I was born into a simple family. My ordinary family was so poor that my grandfather could not even afford to visit the doctor when he fell sick. He could only endure his sickness and burn his life away like a candle. Gradually, grandfather’s sickness worsened.I was still very young back then. I could not help to reduce his suffering at all, nor could I bring him to the hospital…Since I was young, I knew that I came from a poor family. I knew I would be left all alone after my grandfather was gone. I was afraid for that day to come. I feared the day where I would be left alone in the world.Grandfather knew that no one would take care of me after his passing, so he brought me to visit one of his old comrades-in-arms.That man had no heir, so he wanted someone to be his heir. He had his eyes on me, but he wanted me to change my family name.I was the only child left in the Moore family. If I were to change my name…Although I was still young, I would have never agreed to that.
I returned to the orphanage, but I was still ‘lucky’. An Arbacian couple adopted me, but they were also abusive.The previous couple abused me for two years. Although I had just arrived in a new place, I was not scared at all. Whenever they beat me or scolded me, I remained silent. Fortunately, they were not extremely abusive. They only used me as an outlet to vent whenever they were in a bad mood. Most of the time, they were a pretty sane couple.They sent me to school.Since then, I studied psychology without their knowledge. I even used their money to look for a psychology teacher.I was still a nobody at that time. I had no wealth, but I knew the ability to read someone’s mind and control them. It made the road to my success much easier. The path of learning was challenging and lonely. However, the girl remained as my only mental support and kept me going.I promised her that we would meet again. However, I was sure that she might not be able to recognize me at all. Even
"Mrs. Gregg, you have terminal cancer..."My face was pale as I asked the doctor, "What did you say?"The doctor pressed his arm over my medical records and enunciated every word clearly. "Mrs. Gregg, your uterus was not completely cleared when you had an abortion two years ago. Then, you had an infection and that caused the cells in your uterus to become cancerous..."I interrupted him tearfully, "How much time do I have left?""The cancer cells are spreading. You have at most three months to live..."I could not hear anything else the doctor said. My mind buzzed loudly and the words "three months to live" reverberated in my head...That night, at the Gregg villa:I sprawled out on the bed like a dead dog, burying my head in the pillow. My heart was filled with sorrow.The person who had been intimate with me earlier was my husband, Dixon Gregg.For three whole years, he would do what he wanted to do and leave with a cold expression on his face every time he visited the villa
Dixon was stunned and asked, "What are you playing at?"It had started to snow outside. It would be my 23rd birthday in less than two months.It would be New Year's Eve then.I didn't know if I could make it till then.I pursed my lips, then smiled and suggested, "You know that I have always liked you. That's why I want you to let go of all the prejudice you have against me and date me for three months."Dixon harrumphed and answered, "Dream on."The voice over the phone was devoid of any warmth. In the large room, loneliness loomed over me and my tears fell. My heart hurt so badly that it became numb.I hid the sadness in my voice and said lightly with a smile, "Dixon, don't you want to divorce me? How about this. Date me for three months and be a man who takes care of me and dotes on me. Even if you don't love me, you have to pretend that you love me deeply. If you can make it through three months, I will agree to a divorce. I will even give you all the wealth the Shaw family
Dixon hung up on me angrily.I slipped my phone into my bag and was about to leave when I saw the person I least wanted to meet.It was Gwen Worth.The woman Dixon loved wholeheartedly.We stood facing each other. I gave her a small smile and was about to walk past her when she said softly, "Are you Mrs. Gregg?"I paused and looked at her out of the corners of my eyes. "What is it?""Are you happy as Mrs. Gregg?"Gwen Worth was challenging me. I turned to size her up. Her features were exquisite. She had on a layer of light makeup but her lips were colored a bright red. It was a freezing winter, but she was wearing a thin, pinkish-grey dress and had a white coat over it.She was indeed very beautiful. No wonder Dixon liked her.My romantic rival was right in front of me and I was jealous. I wanted to ignore her but she ridiculed me, saying, "Can you really feel relaxed in the position you stole from me? Does Dixon love you? Will he whisper loving words into your ears? Will he
