“Okay.” Angel nodded. Her voice sounded soft. Henry brought Angel downstairs and placed her at the dining table. Mrs. Lawson had prepared some delicious food for her. Henry washed himself up, got changed and stood in front of the mirror. He looked at the man in the mirror with a strong chest. He seemed to raise his lips in satisfaction. No one could resist his charm. He took a white shirt and put it on himself. He paired it with suit pants. It was a simple pairing, however he looked more gorgeous in it. Henry walked out after he got changed. Angel looked at Henry as he walked out. He had a tall and straight figure, he looked so handsome in his luxurious clothes, like a gorgeous prince, handsome and elegant. ‘He had even rescued us. He could protect mommy. He was indeed a match with mommy but why had mommy always said she wanted to leave? Moreover, they seemed to get along with each other fine. Why did mommy cry so sadly that day?’Angel could not understand the adult’s wor
The corner of Henry’s eyes twitched. He could tell the Angel was anxious. It could be because of her insecurity as she did not have a father since young.Henry suddenly felt sorry for both her and Monique. He held Angel in his arms. “Angel, I have made a pinky promise with you to protect you for the rest of your life. I will always be with you.”Angel’s eyes shone. She stretched out her left hand and pointed her pinky finger, “Daddy, you have to make another pinky promise with me.”“Sure.”Henry stretched out his finger and entwined his finger with Angel’s. “Daddy, mommy and I are a family. Let‘s keep this promise for a hundred years,” Angel said lovingly. They then stamped on each other’s thumb.Angel smiled happily after they stamped. Both of her eyes were like crescents. Her pink face looked so adorable. She opened the door, walked down and waved her hands to say goodbye to her father. Henry was taken aback by Angel’s words. Angel was his daughter. He would stay with he
It was already noon when Monique woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. The bright sunlight had filled the room. It looked dazzling. She opened her eyes and closed them again. Then, she opened her eyes again. She looked at the spot where Henry slept. It was empty. She touched it. It was cold. It seemed like he had left a while ago. Monique moved as she wanted to get up. However, her waist was aching and her legs were shaking. She looked at the sunlight shining in from the outside. The scene last night replayed in her mind. She woke up in pain. Her whole body was aching each time she tried to move. She took a pillow and leaned against the bedside. He had no compassion for her. She thought it would only take a short while but he went at it until dawn and ignored her imploration. ‘You were just his lover. You have to be aware of that and stop thinking of things you shouldn’t think of.’‘Just like what he said, stop overthinking and enjoy the moment.’She sighed sadly. She
She had accumulated a lot of work in addition to the proposal she did for Monique yesterday. She did not look up but answered in a terrible tone, “I do not know.”Yvonne frowned. Since she made a fuss at the public relations department yesterday, everyone looked down when they saw her. She nearly went mad. However, as she thought to herself that she had yet to hook up with Henry, she took a deep breath and showed a soft smile. “I am Monique’s sister. I need to see her.”Monique’s sister? Amelia raised her head curiously and sneered, “Are you Monique’s sister who refused to do anything in the public relations department?”Bad news has its wings. Yvonne thought that the people in the planning department would not have known about this. She did not expect Monique to have told them about this. Yvonne’s face turned pale for a while. She could not hold it in anymore. “Where is Monique?” Yvonne asked in a firm tone.“She took leave,” Amelia eventually spilled it for Yvonne. Yv
Why did you take leave? Monique was anxious to apply for leave. She did not think of this problem at first. She couldn’t say that she had just woke up so she had to say, “I am just feeling backaches and leg cramps!”She had told the truth. Amelia was stunned. What a ridiculous reason. She thought she might have fallen sick. Amelia was so jealous. She was the chairman’s girlfriend. However, she smiled and said, “Sure. Rest well.”Amelia felt uneasy after she hung up the phone and saw the huge pile of work in front of her. How could she continue working on these? Monique came down from the bed after hanging up the phone and walked toward the bathroom. Henry had tortured her for one whole night. Her legs were too weak to walk. She could feel the pain with each step she took. Monique took a long time to walk over from the bed to the bathroom. She stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at her body full of bruises. She turned on the water in the bathroom and wi
She was used to being a strong independent woman. A little warmth in life brings her tremendous joy. This was the first time she has received flowers. Although it was not very heavy, she was holding it as if it was.She held the flowers tight for fear that it might fall.‘What if you forget your identity as a lover, and not as his little girlfriend? After all, there was no other girl with him, isn’t it?’Monique felt less ashamed as she was thinking about it this way. Facepalm! ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Monique was shocked by her own thoughts. She loosened her hand out of sudden. The flowers fell to the ground. Some of the petals had also scattered all over the ground. Monique was stunned as she looked at the flowers on the ground. Even if he did take herself as a lover, she indeed did not deserve him. ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Mrs. Lawson walked over, “What’s going on? Do you not like the flowers? Let me know what kind of flowers you like
Mrs. Lawson thought about it for a moment… There was indeed something else. “Young Master instructed you to come back early after you’ve picked Angel up!”Monique’s legs trembled. Did he want to do it again after she returned home… Thinking of the previous night, his stamina was really good—he could even go to work that day. She, on the other hand, nearly could not walk. If he wanted another round, she might not have been able to wake up. Monique twitched her mouth in nervousness. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, “Is there any reason why the Young Master wants me to come home early?”Mrs. Lawson smiled but did not answer her question. “You’ll know after you come home early.”Mrs. Lawson’s smiley eyes made Monique even more nervous. Monique could not stop thinking about Mrs. Lawson’s eyes even after she went in the car. It was a mysterious and confusing look. Monique left home slightly early that day and Angel was still in the classroom. Monique entered the
Monique's sweet smile looked beautiful. A little dimple appeared at the corner of her lips, looking youthful and adorable. Simon Leeds was enchanted. Angel was in a good mood. She held her mother’s hand with her chubby hand. “Uncle Simon, goodbye!”Simon replied, “Goodbye, Angel. Take care.”“Goodbye.” Angel reached out another hand and waved goodbye to Simon. She felt comfortable with Uncle Simon. Monique smiled, then she walked toward the kindergarten’s gate with Angel held in her hand. However, it seemed like Monique was very popular that day. As she walked out of the gate, another person shouted her name, “Monique!”She looked toward the direction of the voice and saw Yvonne standing there in her 10 cm tall high heels. Her thick, brown, and wavy hair was scattered randomly on her shoulders. Her eyelashes were curled up with mascara, and she wore a short vest paired with a short tank top, looking like a street girl. Her outfit made Yvonne look much more mature than he
