Nicole asked, “Discuss something? What’s up?”She leaned on Clayton’s body and did not care whether he could stand or not.Clayton tolerated her inconsiderate behavior and stood there motionless for her to lean on.“I wanted to talk about Chatty’s wish.”At the mention of her precious daughter, Nicole regained her spirits.“Isn’t her wish to save the world?”The elevator arrived at their floor.Clayton pulled her into the apartment.Nicole lowered her head to change out of her shoes while Clayton thoughtfully took out her home slippers and said with a smile, “No, it changed.”“It changed?”“Yup. She wants a younger sibling now.”When Clayton said this, his eyes were gentle and deep.Somehow, Nicole landed up on the bed with him again.This time, even Clayton forgot to remind Nicole to take her medicine.......The next day, Nicole got up lazily and felt that Clayton’s side of the bed was empty.Clayton was wearing a shirt and trousers as he fried eggs in the kitchen.D
Nicole and Selena looked at each other and laughed in a tacit understanding.Clayton was confused about this gossip that had no context. He also did not know what was so funny about it.Why were the ladies laughing so happily at the thought of running over one’s husband?It was incomprehensible.When Nicole laughed, Clayton’s heart skipped a beat. He feared that she would learn this from Selena.Clayton coughed and calmly changed the subject.“Isn’t Julie here already? Why don’t you follow her to the set to see what’s going on?”Nicole paused and turned her head with a smile.“Nah, it’s boring. I’m not going.”Clayton was speechless.The set could no longer attract Nicole.The elevator arrived at Selena’s floor, so Selena politely said goodbye to Nicole.Nicole waved her hand. “If you need help, just let me know, okay?”“Okay. Thank you.”Selena smiled.Nicole gave Clayton a strange look.She felt like something was wrong with him.Clayton never interrupted her convers
The corners of Selena’s aunt’s mouth twitched as she said, “You’re right! This girl has been deviant since she was a child. Once her grandfather passed away, no one could control her. You’ve seen how she doesn’t want to get involved with her grandfather’s funeral. We would rather disown this ingrate! She can really piss us off. She’s not my child, so we can’t discipline her. I’m sorry that you have to deal with her since she married your son.”Flora snorted coldly. “Back then, I only agreed to this marriage because she’s pretty. Who knew that she would have an affair with someone else? What a disgrace to our family!”The aunt laughed along with Flora and scolded Selena.“Right! Fortunately, Derek is fine. Otherwise, we would feel bad. We’ll find Selena and get her to apologize to Derek in person. Anyway, our families always had a good relationship, so we shouldn’t be at odds just because of Selena, right?”Flora’s face turned gloomy. Just as she was about to say something, she saw
Selena stood there indifferently. Her eyes were cold and detached.“In the past, when I reported you to the police because you beat me, didn’t you brush it off by saying we’re a married couple? What? Are you unwilling to change roles this time?”Selena spoke sarcastically and indifferently.The abuse she endured in the past was vivid in her mind.She went to the police for help and hired a lawyer. However, they only told her that it was a family conflict, so they should talk about it and resolve it themselves.In the end, Derek dismissed everyone by saying it was a family matter.Now that he was the victim this time, he wanted to extort her.Derek raised his eyebrows and accused her. His face was distorted from anger.“You deserve the beating! I didn’t beat you to death anyway! Shouldn’t you be thanking me for keeping you alive?”Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Steven quickly interrupted them.“You’re legally married, so Ms. Nelson is not obligated t
Selena thought that her messages were probably in the trash.Eric was in a meeting when his phone beeped twice.He was originally in a good mood because the performance of all departments exceeded expectations.However, when he saw the text messages that Selena sent, he became infuriated.[Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.]He thought, ‘Is this Selena’s number? Heh. Did she send me the last message to mock me? She’s repaying my kindness with vengeance?’Eric put down his phone with a gloomy face.The temperature in the conference room dropped several degrees.Eric’s mood changed so quickly that his subordinates started to tremble and did not know what to say.In the afternoon, Nicole and Clayton took Julie to see the male model at the set.Julie was so excited that she immediately changed her clothes and left Kai, who was still dying on the hospital bed.Clayton thoughtfully hired a caregiver and asked her to take good care of his brother-in-law.The caregiver thought that Clayton w
Upstairs, Quinn’s gaze was dazed after an intimate session with the scar-faced man. Her complexion was ruddy and glowing as she flung herself into the man’s arms. Her voice was also more charming.“You didn’t do what you promised me.”The man was smoking, and he chortled when he heard this.“The people around Nicole Stanton are so powerful that I couldn’t find a chance to do it. I got someone to follow her once, but that guy was caught, beaten up, and arrested.”Quinn immediately sobered up and calmly began to put on her clothes.The man looked at her upset face and grabbed her hand.“If it doesn’t work this time, we can try again next time.”Quinn shook him off. “How do you plan to do it?”“I can’t get close to her, but you can!”The man looked at her and smiled sinisterly.The smoke that came out of his mouth spilled on her face.Quinn was slightly taken aback.“Don’t worry. As long as you listen to me, it can happen without anyone noticing.”The man comforted her and sa
Quinn scolded Eric hysterically. Her hands were shaking because she wanted to hide her guilty conscience. She also did not want to endure the resentment and grievances that accumulated for many years.There was hatred in her eyes as she looked at him. Her face was distorted from anger.“You got your bodyguards to tie me up? What about him?”She was scared.Eric must know everything since he was waiting for them at the entrance of the bar.“How did you know?”Eric stared at her silently. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, but he did not want others to see his fragility.It would be too easy for his defenses to break down.Eric tightly clutched the bone that had lost its temperature.He flashed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile as he threw it at her body.His voice was gruff as he said, “He’s right here.”Quinn saw the man’s bone clearly and was startled. Her face turned pale instantly.She screamed and fell to the ground, looking at her son in horror.“You...”Eric’s
Quinn covered her face with her hands as tears fell uncontrollably.Eric was long gone.He left his mother behind.Eric resented her so much now probably because he must have had expectations for Quinn to be a good mother.However, she did not live up to his expectations.Back then, Quinn could have divorced Charles and left the toxic Ferguson family with her children, but she did not.She did not have the ability to survive independently, and she did not want to lose the glory brought by the Ferguson family.Thus, Charles was the one who left.For so many years, Quinn was restrained by Old Master Ferguson. Once the old man died, Eric was the one who restrained her.Quinn tried to fight back, but she could not.Eric was more ruthless than Old Master Ferguson.It was as if he was not her son.Her adultery was exposed by her son, which made her feel ashamed.That man’s bone was still on the ground.Quinn felt sick and wanted to vomit. She could not take a second look at it.
