“I’ve already been burdenless for ten years.”The man looked at her. His low voice was distant and sad as he said, “I’ve been lonely for so many years and have always hoped that someone could become my burden. That way, I would still have something to do.”Sally was shocked. Thinking of Elijah’s tragic life experience, her heart became even more uneasy. “You won’t think I’m annoying?”He had been free for so many years. Now, he had gained her as a wife and was now involved with a bunch of very difficult relatives. Any person would be annoyed, right?It was also because she had thought of it that she would hide the fact that Sylvia had been blackmailing her.“Sometimes, having no worries is also a kind of worry.”Sally was speechless. “…”Fine. She really did not understand a rich person’s world.Taking a deep breath, she looked at him and told him everything that had transpired in the past few days.“Actually, it’s not that I’m scared of Aunt Sylvia. I just don’t want Grandma
Sally smiled cheekily. She patted Shawn on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, don’t worry."After they were done with their private conversation, Shawn turned around and smiled at Elijah. "Young Master Elijah, go ahead and visit Grandma Summers, I'll get everyone something to eat."Elijah gave him a faint smile; His voice was detached. "Thank you."After Shawn left, Dr. Chinn frowned slightly and said, "Why do I feel like I have seen him before?""You’ve met my uncle before?"Sally, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly and looked back at Dr. Chinn. "What are the odds? My uncle rarely goes into the city. If it wasn't for Grandma being hospitalized, he wouldn't be here either."Dr. Chinn pondered on it for a while. "He does look familiar.""Maybe you remembered incorrectly?"Elijah put a stop to the conversation and said, "Let's go in."Sally then turned her attention back toward Grandma Summers. She knocked on the door of her ward and said, "Grandma, this is Sal. I am here to
"I have no complaints about you marrying him."Grandma Summers looked at the girl in front of her who was choosing her words cautiously and sighed lightly. "Elijah is a good man… It's just that he is blinded by hate..."The old woman looked at Sally with a profound expression on her face and said, "Sal, you are a good kid. You will listen to Grandma’s advice, right?"Sally nodded hard and said, "Of course."As long as Grandma Summers was not triggered by her marriage, she was willing to do anything."Have a baby with Elijah."Grandma Summers looked at Sally’s charming little face and said, "He is not young anymore, and his health is not the best. I think it would be good if you two were to have a kid as soon as possible. Maybe after having a child, his heart will soften a little."Sally's face turned bright red because of what Grandma Summers said. "Grandma..."She bit her lip and said, "I hear you. I will do my best."Grandma Summers could not help but laugh when she saw ho
After a few dozen of her ideas were axed, Evonne rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "This won't work, that won't work, why don’t you just roofie him? Since you can’t stimulate a physiological impulse, then just go with pharmacology.""It won't harm his body, right?"Sally was a little worried. After all, Elijah's body was not in the best state.Evonne rolled her eyes. "As long as the dosage is not excessive, it will not harm him.""What if he overdoses?""That may hurt your body."Sally was speechless.Sally got home very late that night.When she got home, Elijah was sitting at the dining table waiting for her as usual.She walked over slowly and sat down beside him. She then habitually picked up a spoon to feed him, but he stopped her."I can do it myself."As he said that, Elijah picked up his utensils and then started eating like a normal person.Looking at Elijah acting as such, Sally sighed and said, "If you didn't cover your eyes with a black silk cloth, I wouldn't
"Yes."Sally took a deep breath and started urging again, heavily blushing. "Drink up.""You'd better not regret this."The man's thin lips parted and spat out the five words lightly.Sally was stunned, and before she could respond, the man took the glass from her hand.He held the glass and drank until there was not a drop of water left.Then he put the glass back into her hand. "Aren't you going to give me a bath?"Sally finally came to senses and hurried to the bathroom. "I'll prepare the bath for you first."She had only just turned and taken a few steps when the man grabbed her wrist."I'll bathe after we're done with this."A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.The next second, he pulled Sally straight into his arms…The man's cold and aggressive aura filled the room, and Sally's face looked like she was on fire.His hand ran softly over her pretty little face.Her face was small, with a regular oval face and a pointy chin. Her dark eyes fluttered like t
The sunlight peeked in through a corner of the curtain. Sally turned over in her bed and blocked out the light with her hand.She began to regain consciousness. She frowned and opened her misty eyes as her mind went blank for two seconds, then, all the cells in her body began screaming with pain.'Last night…'The maiden blushed.She hurriedly washed up and went downstairs, where the man with the black silk over his eyes was sitting indifferently on the couch with the butler reading the news reverently beside him.Hearing the sound of her coming downstairs, the man's deep voice rang lightly. "Are you awake?"Sally blushed and muttered, "Yep", before she hurried to the kitchen."You’re awake, Madam?"Aunt Leigh walked out of the kitchen with breakfast. She looked at Sally with a smile. "Breakfast's done. You just have to go there and wait for it."Sally was a little embarrassed. "I'm supposed to make breakfast..."'It's all Evonne's fault!''She said it's all right to use the
The maiden blushed and left quickly with the backpack strapped to her back.Sitting in his wheelchair, Elijah watched her walk away from him and unconsciously touched the area where she had just kissed him.He smiled faintly. "That silly girl.""Sir."Once the sound of Ol' Joe starting the car outside was heard, Pierre walked up carefully behind Elijah. "Should I get madam any medicine... for that?"Elijah raised his eyebrows lightly. "What?"The butler advised kindly, "Madam's still young and you've not been fit to have children in recent years..."The butler's voice trailed off as he realized that the man's aura was getting colder and colder. "Besides, if Madam got pregnant, won't that go against Sire's plan?"Elijah smiled lightly. "Tell me, if a silly girl got pregnant, wouldn't it make her sillier?"Pierre was rendered speechless."All right, Sir. I see."With that, Pierre breathed a sigh of relief.It seemed that this little madam was really Sir's best cure.…"How
Javier thought of himself as a little ridiculous as he said this.When he got Mindy's phone call, he was worried that something might have happened to Sally so he anxiously called her as he went to the university to look for her.However, when he found her, she was bashfully telling her friend about her love affair with her husband."Ah..."Sally patted her forehead somewhat ruefully. "I forgot about the part-time job at the nursing home!"With that, she pulled Evonne's hand off her shoulder and got ready to set off for her part-time job.Evonne frowned and grabbed her hand. "Why do you still care about that lame part-time job?"Isn't the problem resolved?"Grandma Summers had met Elijah, and she was not angry nor did it trigger her illness. Instead, she earnestly asked Sally to bear children for Elijah.Without Grandma Summers to worry about, Sally did not have to worry about Sylvia's threats, and she would not have to pay for Liam's medical bills.Why did she have to work s
