Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these
Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w
Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.
Charlotte Scott turned around and said to a few people present, "Thank you for remembering and coming to my parents' memorial day."She was dressed in a black dress. Her face was pale but she was composed and graceful. The guests attending the memorial ceremony comforted her briefly one after another and left. Charlotte took out her phone. She did not see any missed calls but instead noticed an entertainment news notification that had just popped up.'Katie Hussey and Mysterious Boyfriend Attended Berlin Film Festival Together!'Charlotte recognized the back figure of the man in the photo at a glance. It was her husband, Griffith Wilson. According to the entertainment news, the photo was taken exactly three days ago. At that time, she wanted to ask him to join her on her parents' memorial day, but she could not get through to him on the phone. As it turned out, he was busy accompanying his childhood sweetheart at a film festival.Feeling somewhat numb inside, she sighed heavily and
"It's been a long time. Don't you want it?" she asked as she offered her soft red lips.Her arms bent gracefully. Griffith released her and held her chin. Her slightly tousled long black hair nestled on her shoulders, accentuating her snow-white skin. Under the soft dim light, her beautiful eyes were mesmerizing. Griffith had never met a woman more stunning than Charlotte, and he could not deny that she was irresistible. Moreover, there was no reason for him to deny her since they were legally a couple. When Charlotte noticed that Griffith's eyes widened, she smiled faintly and sat up. Griffith placed his hand at the back of her head and took control assertively.The bedroom fell silent, but Griffith was ignited like a wildfire. He instinctively opened the drawer at a critical moment but failed to find what he was looking for. Charlotte opened her eyes and saw that Griffith was clearly displeased."It's fine. You don't have to use it. I'm already preparing for pregnancy," she said
Charlotte found it amusing knowing Griffith's concerns. After all, he had left in a hurry last night. She raised her chin slightly and said, "The're just some clothes."The maid chuckled nervously and replied, "Um… Weren't those still purchased by the Wilsons?" She quickly lowered her head to avert Charlotte's gaze at the end of her words.Charlotte tidied her hair and asked with a smile, "Even my clothes are considered a property of the Wilson Family? Is Griffith Wilson going to wear them if I leave everything behind?"The maid pondered seriously for a moment. After realizing it would be difficult for her to deal with Charlotte's clothes later, she awkwardly made way, allowing Charlotte to take her belongings with her. The chauffeur peeked out of the car window twice as Charlotte walked appeared at the doorway, showing no intention of offering her a ride. She pulled on the luggage's handle and strutted out of the mansion with her high heels.After leaving the residential area, Cha
Charlotte put down her pen and rubbed her temples."Griffith, we are getting a divorce. Do you think it's appropriate for me to pester you to sober up?" she said patiently."Then why did you beg me to come back home and eat the dishes you made when you requested for a divorce last time?" Griffith asked in return.It made her recall the first time she cooked for Griffith and accidentally burnt herself. The maid who was a busybody called Griffith and exaggerated the severity of the situation. When Griffith returned home that night and discovered Charlotte only suffered a minor injury, he coldly accused her of using the incident as a ploy in front of the maids. After that, every time Griffith came home, he would always find fault with her. Looking back now, Charlotte realized how foolish she was back then. In Griffith's eyes, the submissive version of herself must have looked like a clown.Charlotte clenched her fists and nodded."Yes, I was foolish previously. But not this time. I'v
Charlotte's heart raced rapidly. She took a deep breath and said, "My dad bought this set of jewelry as a gift to my mom. When I was a child, she would only wear it during important occasions. I never saw it again after they passed away in a car accident."Charlotte had always thought the set of jewelry was kept in the Scott Family's treasure vault. So she was shocked that it had made its way into the market."Your grandfather sold it?" Ava asked.Charlotte shook her head. She knew her grandfather would never sell a woman's jewelry due to his pride and status. It was most likely her gambling-addicted aunt who did it. The set of jewelry was sold to a few different buyers before it ended up in Shine.Seeing Charlotte in distress, Ava suggested, "Why don't we buy it back?"Charlotte smiled wryly and said, "My dear, do you have any idea how much it cost?""Then why not ask Griffith Wilson? He should compensate you anyway!"Charlotte remained silent, as she was not sure if Griffith w
