“It’s better if you ask me, Ms. York. There was an assassin who snuck into James’ bedroom. That’s why he was injured.” Before John could even open his mouth, a voice had already sounded from the elevator.Sarah looked up and saw Wendy walking over. Sarah faintly replied, “No need, I prefer to ask John.”Wendy’s face instantly turned dark, but looking at the weak Sarah, she could not even squeeze a word of reprimand.The girl stood there smiling. She had a particularly delicate and good looking small face. That was why Wendy liked Sarah at first sight and agreed to arrange a ghost marriage for James with Sarah.It seemed like Sarah was holding a grudge against her then.On second thought, anyone would have held a grudge for what happened in the cemetery that day.Therefore, Wendy quickly suppressed the anger within her.On the other hand, John was panicking on the phone. His hands were all sweaty as it was the first time he heard someone who dared to talk to Wendy like that. He w
“Madam Julia, your son, Xavier shouldn’t be eating eels, otherwise, there will be a problem. Why don’t I give a different recipe to try?” Although she did not like seeing him damage his health, it was her fault for using someone else’s eel, so Sarah was apologizing seriously.“No, I bought a total of two pounds of eels. Madam Zoe already used ten eels so you’ll return me ten eels, and they must be wild. If you can’t compensate me, you’ll kowtow and apologize to my son tomorrow morning.”Madam Zoe, who came up right after Julia, heard that and knew it was trouble.She and Sarah could not reason taking advantage of someone else, but she still anxiously shook her head and waved her hands as a sign of agreement. If she agreed, Sarah had to kneel to Xavier tomorrow morning.After all, it was easy to buy normal eels, but wild eels were not.Moreover, Julia was obviously making things difficult on purpose to get revenge on behalf of Xavier.“Sarah, didn’t your mother ever teach you that
After she rubbed her eyes and looked again, James’ face was still unruffled. It must have been her eyes. This assh*le had not woken up yet.As she thought of that, Sarah simply pinched James’ face again and said, “Wake up quickly. I’m giving you medicine now.”This pinch had made the man’s clean and clear face blush, but it then quietly faded away.Sarah removed the gauze and ruthlessly positioned her hand. “James, I’m going to hurt you to death.”However, when her hand fell onto his injury, it was gentle. She slowly revealed the wound on his arm. It was a long wound of about eight centimeters in length.The assassin was really ruthless.The eel paste was gently applied to the wound. Sarah then re-bandaged the injury. It was her first time doing this so she was moving lightly and slowly. Once she was done bandaging, she looked at the time and realized it was already very late.Sarah took a shower and laid down next to James.It was only on the weekends that she would sleep with
“He ate it. Why wouldn’t he eat it? That’s the eels that I’ve paid a fortune for. How could he not eat it? Do you think that I’m going to trust your words? I just came from my son’s bedroom and he’s totally fine from head to toe. Nothing happened after he ate it. You’re just talking nonsense last night and trying to defame my eels. I’m glad that I didn’t believe you.”“He really ate it?” Sarah laughed. The corners of her lips curved up. She was smiling sweetly like a little angel.“What can you do even if I’ve eaten it? You can control James' life and death, but you can’t control our family, right?” One of Xavier’s hands was bent at his waist. He wished that he could rush up to Sarah and kick her many times.Julia was really at a major disadvantage when Sarah was around last night.Sarah pretended as if she had not heard it and looked down at her watch. She pinched her fingers and estimated the time. “Mmph… It’s almost time.”“What’s almost time? Did you spend the whole night last
“This is my house and you didn’t put any label on them when you put them in my kitchen. It’s not an issue even if Sarah took it. Everything in our house belongs to me and James, so she can use them as she pleases.” Wendy did not bother that Julia was stamping her feet in anger; she returned the favor rudely.Sarah used the eels for her son. It was not for his masculinity, but it was to stop the bleeding which was not wrong.If it were her, she would not care if Julia was angry or not, she would just use it.“Wendy Marshall, don’t you prefer Molly as your daughter-in-law? When did you become so protective of this Sarah? Look at her! She has a fox-like face. Sooner or later she’ll seduce James’ soul away.”“Aunt Julia, if Sarah wanted to seduce my brother’s soul, my brother will never have come back to this house at all. There’s no logic in your words, no wonder Xavier’s so…” as she said that, Roxane suddenly paused and her gaze fell behind Julia as if she saw danger.“You’re the on
Sarah softly explained, “He already had a skin condition, but it wasn’t serious. It’s been incubating and it was exacerbated after eating the eels, but it won’t kill him. He’ll be fine. I’m sleepy and I’m going to bed now.”Sarah yawned while explaining, turned around, and left.“Sarah, don’t go. Please treat Xavier.” Julia rushed forward to stop Sarah from leaving.“Get out of my way,” Sarah faintly demanded.“What about Xavier?” Julia bit her lip. She had to compromise for the sake of her son. Xavier was still scratching the red dots on his body. He must be feeling very itchy.“I’ll tell you if you get out of the way.”“Fine… Fine…” Julia had to back away. Her pair of eyes fell on Sarah as if she would run away in the next second and leave Xavier alone.“There should be some cooked barley congee in the kitchen by now. You can take two bowls and mix them with white sugar. He should be alright by then.” Sarah remembered that there was barley congee for breakfast last Sunday at t
At the restaurant.Both the mother and daughter, Wendy and Roxane were sitting next to each other.A hearty breakfast. It was as nice as the breakfast they had last Sunday.“Ms. Sarah, you took good care of James when Roxane and I were away this week. Thank you.”“No need, it’s my job. Director Marshall, you’re too serious,” Sarah responded politely but distantly.Sarah was a carefree person. Even though she still did not like Wendy, it was not that intense anymore.“Ms. Sarah, you saw what happened last night. The first and second families are forcing James to hand over his position as CEO. His dad who has been abroad can’t help much also. I’ve been thinking about it. No one can help James and I except you.”“Director Marshall, I don’t understand what you mean by that.” Sarah did not like beating around the bush and having to guess around.“Actually, I want to ask Ms. Sarah to do me a favor by waking James up as soon as possible. Otherwise, his CEO position will be gone if he
Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at him fiercely. “Xavier Marshall, it’s just two minor prescriptions only. You don’t need to give yourself to me. I’m still a high school student, I don’t date.”“Hahaha!” Roxane burst out laughing, “Sixth brother, are you an old cow trying to eat young grass [1]?”“What do you know? Sarah’s already over 18. She’s an adult. She and I are a perfect match made in heaven. You should give us your blessing.” Xavier was dissatisfied with Roxane’s sarcasm.“Sarah, it’s the first time I’ve ever given flowers to a woman, so just take it, eh?”“What if I don’t take it?”“I’ll die of sadness,” Xavier replied as he got down on one knee, taking the pose usually done during proposals as his way of asking for a relationship. “Sarah, be my girlfriend. You’re my love, you’re my angel, you’re my little star.”Sarah almost threw up. She said, “If I take your flowers, will you leave and not bother me while I'm eating my breakfast?” She had not had enough food,
