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
They had an unpleasant encounter last night, so Charlotte intended to ignore him. However, after Griffith left the elevator, he stood next to her and looked down at her, saying, "Did you come to the company to bring me lunch?"Charlotte was in disbelief. Where did he get the audacity to think that she came to bring him lunch?"You have some nerve, thinking my secretary would tell you where I am," Griffith sneered.Charlotte was about to retort when Arthur Thompson, Griffith's secretary, reached out and said, "Mrs. Wilson, I'll take it from here."She wanted to argue but refrained herself, seeing someone approaching. Since Griffith thought she was here to bring him lunch, she decided to play along and teach him a lesson. She smiled and passed Arthur the meal box.Seeing her response, Griffith was certain of his speculation that she was trying to please him just like before."Let me remind you, your little tricks won't work," Griffith said.Charlotte nodded and smiled mirthlessly,
After reading all the messages, Griffith was angry but did not show his emotion. He thought Charlotte would come to her senses after he had ignored her for a few days, but it did not turn out the way he expected. It appeared that she was causing a scene because of money."Mr. Wilson, how should I reply to Mrs. Wilson?" Arthur asked.Griffith blocked her contact number and returned the phone to Arthur."Just ignore her. Deactivate her cards to make her sober up," Griffith replied.Arthur nodded and added, "By the way, I've found a set of purple jewelry just as you requested. It should be suitable as a gift for…"Before Arthur could finish his words, Griffith cast a glance at him."Should I take it out in advance?" Arthur asked.Griffith furrowed his brow and replied, "Not for now.""Alright." After thinking for a moment, Arthur continued, "I've found a few houses for Miss Katie as you instructed me to. Would you like to take a look?"Griffith had mixed emotions when Arthur ment
