“Yes.”The man let out a long sigh. “When you get back later, don’t say anything. Go to bed early after your meal. He needs some quiet.”Sally was even more confused now. “Why?”“No reason.”Obviously, Jameson did not want to explain it to her.However, Sally was someone who loved to think of ways out of a dead end. When she was at school, she had once tormented her math teacher to tears because of a math question.Hence, with her usual inquisitiveness, she continued asking Jameson as she sat in the passenger seat. “Why?“Why won’t he be eating tonight?“Why can’t I say anything?“Why is today special?“Why can’t he eat if it’s a special day? He doesn’t menstruate.”Jameson was speechless. Did this woman swallow the One Hundred Thousand Whys? Finally, he was rendered helpless. He could only take a deep breath and reply, “Today is Elijah’s birthday.”Sally’s body stiffened slightly. “His birthday?”That was not right. When she and Elijah had gotten their license, she pu

Jameson’s hands tightened around the steering wheel.Subconsciously, he spotted Sally’s innocent and pure eyes in the rearview window.In the end, he bit his lip and turned the car around. “I know a cake shop.”The car turned snaked all around the place before finally stopping at the side of an alley in the Old Town area.Jameson pointed to an old sign that said “Little Swan Pastries” and said lightly, “Go on. His sister always bought cakes for him here.”“Mhm!”Sally nodded and got out of the car with her backpack on. Then, she ran quickly toward the cake shop.Leaning back against the driver’s seat, Jameson rolled down the window and lit a cigarette for himself.Through the smoke, he saw the girl in jeans and a white T-shirt open the cake shop’s worn-out door.It was as though he was watching her push open the heart Elijah had sealed for so long.A pleased smile spread across the man’s face.The butler was right. Sally was indeed good medicine for Elijah.This girl was so

8 pm.As per Sally’s request, the servants in the villa had all left.Even the security guards were not spared as only a scattered few remained on the grounds.Wearing a white lace princess dress, Sally took a deep breath and opened the door to Elijah’s study after knocking.The lights were not on in the study.Moonlight shone in through the window, giving off a cool vibe.At the study’s executive seat, Elijah was leaning back in his wheelchair.A black ribbon covered his eyes. Sally was not sure whether he was asleep or awake, so she could only carefully turn the lights on and walk in. “Hubby?”The man’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly.This entire afternoon, Elijah had heard five European financial groups’ reports, so at this moment, he was tiredly leaning on his wheelchair as he dozed off.Thirteen years ago, his closest older sister had perished in a sea of fire on this day. He forced himself to work hard to bear the burden of his guilt.Hence, when he established those conso

The lights in the dining room were switched off. There was only the faint gleam from the candles that were set up around the area.Sally subconsciously grasped her lacey skirt. Her voice was timid, but it also carried her usual stubbornness and determination. "I know that you don’t usually celebrate your birthday, but…”She took a deep breath, looked at Elijah, and spread a sweet smile across her face. "Hubby, I’m in your life, now and forever."Her dark pupils shone from the light of candles. She looked at him with a serious expression and said, "I will celebrate your birthday with you every year from now on."He had to admit that when he saw her beautiful smile, the iciness in his heart melted a little.Her words were like a honey-covered net that enveloped his heart.Through the black silk cloth that covered his eyes, Elijah looked at her and said, "I don't want to celebrate my birthday.""It doesn’t matter that you don’t want to celebrate your birthday. I want to celebrate i

A slight smile finally rose from Elijah's slightly pressed shut lips.The candles on the birthday cake were blown out.Sally took out the candles and sliced the cake for him. "Did you make a wish?"The man stared at her intently. "I guess so."Separated by a layer of black silk, Sally did not know he was looking at her.She cut the cake with her back to him."My wish is for you to become smarter."The man spoke in a neutral tone.Sally did not know how to react to what he had said.She pursed her lips and looked somewhat helpless as she scooped up a piece of cake with the intention of feeding him. "If you say your wish out loud, it won't come true."The man ate the cake with a faint smile and said, "Then you can continue to be stupid."It was not the worst thing in the world for her to remain innocent.Sally glanced at him with some hidden bitterness and said, "I’ve told you before that I'm not stupid."He ate the cake that she fed him indifferently. The taste of childhood

When he saw how upset she was, Elijah lifted her sideways and placed her on the sofa.The man efficiently switched on the lights, found the first aid kit, and returned to her side.Sally looked at Elijah with a blank expression.‘Isn’t... isn't he blind? Why does a blind man need to turn on the light? Why does he know where the switch is? How...how is he walking with such steady steps and can find the first aid kit on his first try?’As she was still in a daze, he had already returned to her side.The man squatted in front of her and held her bleeding hand. He wiped off the blood on it with a cotton swab and spoke reproachfully, "How could you be so careless?"‘Doesn’t she cook often? I have never seen her make such a mistake.’Sally pursed her lips. She was a little embarrassed. "I had my eyes closed..."Elijah, who was disinfecting her hand, was slightly surprised, "Why in the world would you cut your steak with your eyes closed?"She blushed slightly as she replied, "I... I

When and if he regained his eyesight, he would see through people like Wendell Moses, and would never be deceived by others’ lies again!The more she thought about it, the more excited she got. Her heart was pounding.Elijah allowed her to hold onto him.His heart that had been sealed shut and covered in dust for a long time was gradually being warmed up by her.After a while, she let go of him and said, "Do you still want to continue with the steak?"If he recalled correctly, she ate nothing but the small piece of cake that he had not finished.Sally blushed and said, "I should eat a little bit more."She was actually quite hungry.Elijah got up, walked slowly to the dining table, then brought over his cut-up steak to her.Sally intended to take the plate from his hands, but instead, Elijah picked up the fork, stabbed. a piece of steak, then brought it up to her mouth to feed her. "Open your mouth."Sally was so shocked that she could not speak, he was... feeding her?"I...

Sally laughed so hard that she had to lie down on the table for support. "Evonne, that’s really funny. Although that would be cool, it's not possible."Joan Lewis's family business was an established enterprise that appeared on TV often. How could an argument between her and Joan lead to such turmoil?Evonne also knew that it was impossible, but she still pursed her lips and said, "A girl can dream. It may come true someday."Sally smiled; She took out her thick stack of notes from her school bag and began her revision. “I don’t have such lofty dreams now. I just want to get good results in the midterm exams for Advanced Mathematics today.”"F*ck!"Evonne put down the coffee cup that she was holding.She has forgotten that there was a midterm exam today!"Sal, let me see your notes, I want to make a cheat sheet."Sally rolled her eyes and pressed down onto her hands that were about to move over to her side of the table. "No!"After she said that, she took out her textbook and

How did she go from being a normal student to the CEO of Summers Corporation?!Behind her, the invigilator still kept a close eye on her.Sally glanced at Dave Jackman and the men in black behind him, then said, "You said that I’m CEO Summers, right?""That is correct.""Would you comply with my commands?""Yes."Sally rubbed her aching eyebrows and said, "Let’s get out of here."The men in black regrouped and followed Sally and Dave.Everyone on campus stared at Sally, who was leading the large group of men.She really looked like a CEO who was on a company visit.Sally soon led the men to the garden behind the school.After she made sure that there was no one else around, she breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, she found a stone and sat down on it. The row of tall men in black in front of her screened her from the sun.Sally turned her head and glanced at Dave. “Can you get them to squat down?""Of course!"Dave gave an order and the group of well-trained retired sp

Elijah laughed out loud and said, "Isn't being a CEO a good thing? It’s a long-standing goal of many."Sally glanced at the black men that resembled bodyguards in the distance, and then at Dave Jackman, who stood not far away and was smiling at her at a 45-degree angle. "Nothing about it is great!"He felt a little playful. While he was on the phone with Sally, he looked through the file sent to him by Calvin Lewis on the computer. "What's wrong with being a CEO? You can do and buy whatever you want."Sally was about to break into tears. "It doesn’t belong to me… I didn’t work for it!"She was just an innocent girl from the countryside, she could not bear the noble status of being a CEO!Sally sniffled and said, "Hubby, I feel like I was suddenly hit on the head by a five-million-dollar anvil. I don't dare to move nor spend any of it. I’m a little scared..."Elijah chuckled and said, "The Lewis Enterprise is worth more than five million. The shares that Calvin Lewis transferred t
