LOGINWilson didn’t stop West as he quickly dashed over to where Rosana stood. He simply watched them quietly, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions. Although his face was expressionless, his tense muscles revealed how worried he was.When West saw Rosana up close, he couldn’t hold back. Regret and overwhelming emotion surged through him, and even his voice shook as he spoke slowly.“Rosana, I’ve been looking for you all day. It’s good… you’re here…”Rosana interrupted him.“West, I’m really tired right now. I hope you won’t cause any more trouble. Wilson and I have had a long day, and we need to go home and rest. We still have another task to take care of tomorrow. I won’t have time to chat with you or keep you company.”West immediately realized that Rosana didn’t want any further discussion with him. He stiffened, then replied anxiously, his voice flustered.“Rosana, please listen to me…”Rosana grew irritated and retorted unhappily, “I don’t have time to listen to whatever you hav
When West saw that his mother didn’t say another word, he realized he had guessed correctly. He immediately walked off. His mother panicked and called out, “West!”“Mom, don’t call my name. I don’t want to talk to you,” he said as he walked out of the house and headed directly to his parked car.He got in and drove off.His mother stood helplessly at the entrance, watching him speed away. Barely a minute later, her husband, whose attention had been drawn by the commotion, emerged from the house. He looked at his wife with furrowed brows and asked, “What happened?”His wife replied, “I don’t know how West found out, but he is aware that Wilson and Rosana are about to get married.”Looking at his wife’s face, which was creased with worry, he pondered seriously for a minute before comforting her. “There is no need to be so worried. Even if he finds out, there is no way he is going to know the date or the venue. Let him do whatever he wants; he won’t be able to change anything.”Her tense
It was another day, and the sunset cast a faint yellow glow as West stepped out of the hospital. His face was solemn, and his eyes were filled with anger. He had been hospitalized for more than twenty-four hours, yet before he was discharged, neither his parents nor his brother had shown up. Not even Rosana had come.Although he was not too disappointed that Rosana had not come to see him in the hospital, what utterly disappointed him was that his parents had not come to check on how he was doing.“They can’t wait to kiss up to my younger brother. Now that he is richer and has more status than I do, they are all supporting him. They shouldn’t worry. When I win the world tournament with my teammates, I will see how their attitude changes,” West muttered, his fists tightly clenched. He was very unhappy, and it showed in his cold eyes and dark expression.After pondering seriously for some time, he walked directly toward the street. He flagged down a taxi and got in.When the taxi pulled
Morning sunlight crept slowly over the horizon, and with it came a soft wind that made the leaves on the trees whistle gently. Dry leaves fell from the branches, and the curtain near the tree swayed softly. Inside the room was Rosana, who had just gotten out of bed.Standing before her was her older sister, Edna.“Good morning,” Rosana greeted.Edna quickly walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. Passing a cup to Rosana, she said, “Drink this.”Rosana didn’t ask what was in it. She quickly took a sip, then savored the taste quietly. After several more sips, Edna asked, “What do you intend to do?”Rosana raised an eyebrow, confused for a moment.Edna explained clearly, “West doesn’t seem like someone willing to give up on you. What is your plan with Wilson? You don’t intend to let this continue this way, do you?”Rosana felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. She had never expected that West, who had resolutely broken up with her years ago, would come crawling back, a
He looked at everyone, but no one spoke to him, and he didn’t say a word either. His face was filled with dissatisfaction. He knew his parents were probably discussing him and Rosana with Wilson.With drooping eyelids, he marched toward his room. He went in, took a shower, and changed. While he was strapping his wristwatch around his wrist, his door opened and his mother stepped in.She looked at him and said, “Dinner is ready. Since you’re home, join us. Let’s have dinner together.”West had already grown resentful toward his parents, especially after they chose to side with Wilson instead of him. He looked at his mother and replied, “I’m not hungry.”His mother’s gaze lingered on him for some time before she said, “I hope you can understand your father and me. We would never harm you. You and Wilson are the only children we have. There is no way we are going to let you two fall out and allow your feelings to destroy your relationship with your brother...”West interrupted his mother
To West’s surprise, his father said in a deep voice, “I don’t know what has gotten into you. You should rethink whatever you’re saying. You getting back with Rosana is impossible. Your mother and I will never support it. You should get rid of that idea.”West was stubborn. Although he knew the possibility of changing his father’s mind was nil, he still argued strongly. “Dad, I still remember when you wanted Rosana to marry me. You even talked to—”His father interrupted him. “That was then, but now she is more compatible with your younger brother, Wilson. There are millions of girls around the world, and you are famous. There is a girl out there who would be dying to marry you. You should reconsider your decision and stop holding on to the terrible idea of getting back with Rosana.”His mother chimed in, “Listen to your father, West. The idea of you getting back with Rosana is impossible, and none of us will support it. You should change your mind.”West didn’t expect his parents to s
John stood briefly, then retorted, glancing at Philip. “I’ve already made up my mind.”He reached for the doorknob. Philip, angered by his stupidity, slammed his fist on the table and roared, “Enough of this stupidity!”John didn’t care. He opened the door and left.When he returned home, he found
John laughed arrogantly, then sneered. “Uncle, I’m not an idiot. I can see through your little trick. Your plan is to send me away so you can marry Lala while I’m gone. That won’t work. I will never allow it—don’t even think about it.”Seeing John’s wide eyes and the finger he jabbed toward the gro
Lala struggled to free herself, screaming at the top of her lungs, “Let me go, John—let me go!”John retorted aggressively, “No, I won’t. You’re mine… aaargh!”He screamed in pain as Lala bit into his arm. She tore herself free, jumped into her car, reversed immediately, and sped off.John watched,
John got into the car and drove off quietly. His thoughts were filled with Lala and Philip being together. He furrowed his brows in displeasure when he remembered Lala spending the previous night at Philip’s house.Hannah noticed John was deep in thought. He’d been quiet for ten minutes, not saying
