Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1021 - Bab 1030

Michelle stared at Jonah. When she saw the odd look on his face, she knew he had seen them, and she immediately felt terrible. Even if things hadn’t worked out between them, the least she could do was to not have public displays of affection in front of him. Obviously, Neil wasn’t going to allow her to do that. Neil had done it on purpose.He was probably very pleased with himself now.When Jonah sat down, his mind wandered from the game to the scene he had witnessed. It dampened his mood, but he knew that he was wrong for feeling this way. Michelle was already married, so what did it matter what she was doing with her husband? What was there for him to be sad about?He couldn’t help it, however. His throat was dry, and his mind was blank. He chugged down a bottle of water, unable to bring himself to focus on the game. He hated himself for being so weak.After kissing Michelle, Neil glanced at Jonah. When he saw how distraught Jonah looked, he suddenly felt a sense of victory.“Yo

Jonah also saw the wallet. ‘She’s not using the wallet I bought her anymore.’When Caleb was done ordering, he chatted with the basketball team about some things he had observed regarding the strategy. Jonah didn’t expect Caleb to have expertise in this, and they got along swimmingly.The only thing Jonah got out of this gathering was a friend in Caleb. He was relieved to have someone to talk to in order to avoid the awkwardness between himself and Neil.Neil watched them, feeling that the wallet had already completed its mission.“Right. Uncle Caleb, how’s your son doing?” Neil deliberately chose to speak to Caleb.“Roger? He’s gone back to Windmere City. You know, it’s funny that he always used to be ecstatic about going back there–it’s obvious he couldn’t wait to get away from me and his mom. This time, though, he was so reluctant to leave. It’s as if there’s something here in Genovia that he didn’t want to leave behind. Whatever it is, it’s not me and Sheila,” Caleb said.“I

When Neil got into bed, he instinctively placed a hand on Michelle’s abdomen. It only made her feel that much warmer.“Are you going to work tomorrow?” Neil rubbed his jaw against the sensitive skin underneath her ear, perhaps because he didn’t have anywhere to expend his sexual energy. It tickled her, and she started to heat up. Before things could get out of hand, she shifted away from him.“We’re having guests at the venue for the first time tomorrow, so I have to be there. Besides, this project concerns you as well,” Michelle said.“Are you putting in so much effort because this has something to do with me?” He knew they couldn’t do anything tonight, so he could only kiss her on the cheek. When he and Ariana were together, he didn’t even need to arouse Ariana. She’d take the initiative to help him out.He didn’t know whether Michelle wasn’t aware of these things, or whether she didn’t want to. No matter what he did to arouse her, she lay there lazily without doing anything. It

But after checking out the quality of D&C’s clothes, Celestine realized that it wouldn’t be a bad thing to buy some. Even if Michelle’s painting turned out to be fake, she wouldn’t lose anything. However, she would add on the remaining 40 million if it were real. Of course, she was only doing it for the sake of “Water Lilies”. If her company could truly establish a long-term collaboration with Wilson, he would be a walking advertisement for them.Any businessman would know this.People who weren’t aware of these things would never realize it, like Amber. She would only continue living in that tiny world of hers.Michelle had learned much from her father. She knew that sometimes, small losses would lead to big wins. She had promised Neil she would close a few more deals for D&C, and she knew Celestine was someone she could trust. Even if Michelle was wrong, all she would lose was the money she’d spent on the painting.She didn’t tell Neil about this. After all, who knew how things w

During dinner, Michelle didn’t want everyone to focus on her, so she changed the subject. “Mom, how long will Ashlyn be back?”“Around ten days, I think. She said that her professor’s given her a few days off to rest after the jewelry exhibition. Thanks for doing this, Calvin. You two have always been close, especially since Neil and Ned never wanted to have anything to do with her. They always complained about her being whiny and prissy. You’re the only one who would have her,” Clarissa said.Neil shot Calvin a pointed look.“No, it’s fine.” Calvin wanted to see what the little girl in his memories had grown up to become. The last time he saw her was when she graduated from high school. After that, he was away on business trips or abroad every time she returned home. All he could remember was how she had looked before leaving the country to further her studies—she had worn a white shirt and denim jeans, her hair spilling over her shoulders as she tearfully bid them goodbye.After
