Author: Star Pomelo
Stephanie just smiled. "If you really can do that, consider this life debt paid. You don't have to keep thinking about it anymore."

After that, she felt like yawning again.

Before Jonathan could say anything else, Stephanie said, "I'm sleepy. Goodbye."

She didn't hesitate to end the call after that before turning off the lights and going to bed.

"Hey, you—"

Jonathan didn't expect that Stephanie would end the call just like that. As he watched the screen go dim, he couldn't resist chuckling.

  • You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future   Chapter 450

    After several attempts, Martha finally realized in despair that Hector wasn't going to feel remorseful toward her over what happened. He certainly wasn't going to get a divorce and marry her because of it.To protect Sutton Group's reputation and prevent his family from finding out about the affair, Hector spent a great deal of money and effort to bury the incident.He also gave Martha a huge sum of money and told her to leave. She knew that meant he'd grown tired of her.There was nothing she could do. The two subordinates who'd laid hands on her father were already in prison. What more could she possibly ask for?At the time, her best option was to ask Hector for even more money and leave Jetterpolis.She ended up going to Hydroton and reinventing herself as a socialite, successfully marrying into the Grover family.After marriage, whenever Conan was troubled by some crisis that the Grover Group had encountered, Martha would think about asking Hector for help. However, she woul

    Adrian's words stabbed Hector right in the heart, which clenched painfully as he watched Adrian leave.In truth, he knew that perfectly well himself.It was natural for him to want to atone for the past. However, none of this would've even happened if he hadn't been blinded by lust and betrayed his own wife by keeping a mistress back then.What right did he have now to demand a sacrifice from Adrian just so he could make up for what he'd done?At the end of the day, it just proved how selfish he was.Adrian was right. If Nadia found out about what he'd done, she would've raged at him before refusing to see him ever again. He was probably too ashamed to visit her grave now.Hector slumped in his seat, his back curving. At this moment, he looked truly old and wizened.When Adrian found Stephanie in the garden, she was standing before a flowerbed. The gardener standing beside her was introducing the variety of flowers to her.Stephanie listened with an earnest expression, nodding

    All it took was one forceful shove, and the man tumbled down the steps. When he hit the ground, his head took a hit, and the blood gushed out on the spot.By the time he was rushed to the hospital, it was already too late.Back then, Hector hadn't thought much of it. He'd provided the necessary compensation, and the two subordinates of his who were responsible for the death had been sentenced to prison for manslaughter. He also gave both of their families a ton of money.Just like that, he soon forgot all about this incident.But in the past two years, now that he was much older, he began recalling that incident more and more frequently. He even dreamed about it sometimes.After all, a human life had been lost. Even though it was never his intention, nor did he do it himself, ultimately, he was partially connected to the man's death.He often recalled the way Martha had tearfully confronted him about it.Now that he was getting up in years, he didn't know how much longer he coul

    Adrian's remark was all it took for Hector's insincere smile to freeze.He inwardly cursed at Adrian. That damned Adrian had forbidden him from putting any pressure on Stephanie, but now, Adrian was the one applying pressure to him.Looking Hector right in the eye, Adrian continued, "You don't look too good, Grandpa. At your age, you really shouldn't be worrying about all kinds of things anymore."Feigning ignorance, Hector chuckled. "It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night. Once you get older, your body starts giving you all sorts of issues. You don't need to worry about me."He had no desire to speak with Adrian at all. Ignoring the dark, intense look in Adrian's eyes, he maintained the air of an affectionate family elder and continued making small talk with Stephanie.However, even as she politely responded to him, she kept recalling scenes from the last time she met Hector—and the words he'd said to her then.As she looked at the way he was behaving now, she almost

    Hector didn't have much of an appetite anyway. He glanced at the time. Adrian and Stephanie should be arriving soon.Frowning, he let out a faint sigh. Honestly speaking, he truly didn't want to see them right now. Nevertheless, what was meant to come would eventually come. There was no avoiding it.After seeing Hector's reaction, Graham tried his best to stay out of it, but in the end, he couldn't resist speaking up."Forgive me for speaking out of turn, Mr. Sutton Senior, but in my opinion, you really shouldn't entertain that woman's demands anymore."Why put yourself through this? Everything was fine before. She's the reason why everyone in the family thinks negatively of you right now, and it's making you suffer as well."Hector frowned. "There are things you don't know about. There's no need to say more."The moment he finished speaking, one of the housekeepers came to the door and said, "Mr. Sutton Senior, Mr. Hawke and Ms. Ford are here."Hector took a deep breath. When h

    When Adrian flipped to another page, the photos of Stephanie dancing increased. While she was still clumsy and unfamiliar with dancing at first, the photos showed the way she improved in dancing. The expression on her face shifted from curiosity to a mix of seriousness and passion for dancing.It was so obvious that Stephanie loved dancing with all her heart based on the photos.Adrian pursed his lips firmly, his heart throbbing in pain. That was when his phone buzzed all of a sudden.After picking it up, he realized that it was a text from Stephanie. She had sent him an adorable kitty sticker with a short message that said, "Are you asleep?"Adrian just smiled before texting, "Not yet."Stephanie called him instantly after seeing the text. Of course, Adrian answered it right away."Stephanie," he called out to her softly."Why aren't you asleep yet?" Stephanie lay on her bed with one hand gripping her phone while the other hugged her pillow. "What are you doing?"Adrian shot
