Lyla did not want to waste her breath on Aquilo. She stood up and said, “Notus, come and see what your daughter has done!”Notus had been chatting and laughing with Zach. When he heard the commotion, he was stunned for a moment before he hurried over.“What happened?”Luna’s tears immediately started to fall.But before she could speak, Notus looked at Ruth, who was beside Abel. He asked nervously, “Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”The corners of Ruth’s eyes twitched. How ridiculous. Since Notus brought Luna over to discuss business, should he not at least be concerned about his bargaining chips? Why was he concerned about Ruth?Luna was also shocked, but she quickly hid her resentment and called out in a pitiful tone, “Dad, she’s fine. I was careless and spilled all this wine.”Notus visibly heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Luna and paused. Then, he frowned deeply. “How did you end up like this? Quick, go change your clothes. Do you know what you look lik

If Lyla invited Frank to their gathering, who knew what kind of destruction he would cause. If he chased away Ruth’s family, with Ruth in tow, Lyla would explode right then and there.Ruth blinked and leaned closer to her.“I’m fine with that, but what about him?” She pointed in Frank’s direction with her chin.Lyla frowned and imitated her. “I’ve already thought it through. When the time comes, we’ll have the reception at my family’s place. Tell your aunt and relatives that Abel’s father married into my family.”In any case, Frank had been obsessed with gaining respect in recent years. He had not shown any favor toward the main branch of the family because of Abel. Instead, the rest of their relatives, including extended family like Luna who was an in-law who married into the family, received better treatment than Abel did.It was annoying, but with the Acker family supporting her, Lyla did not mind at all. Since she did not mind, she might as well not consider herself a member o

“Ever since we met, you’ve been emphasizing that she’s my friend. You never mentioned her and Apollo at the same time. But today, she clearly came with Apollo.”Ruth could not figure it out, no matter how hard she thought about it. Demi was such an outstanding woman. How could Lyla not like her?Lyla tilted her head and glanced at Apollo and Lyla not far away. She sighed silently. “I really hope she becomes my daughter-in-law.”Ruth was confused by this.“Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something else. Do you know which man Apollo is closer to?”Seeing the worried and concerned expression in Lyla’s eyes, and hearing her question, Ruth quickly grasped the situation.Gabriel and Lyla were like two peas in a pod, and they had fallen for the same trap!Abel had lied to Gabriel last time about being gay. This time, it was Lyla’s turn to think that Apollo was the gay one!Ruth tried her best to suppress the smile on her face. She wanted to find out indirectly, but after dartin

Ruth did not know what to say.The case was closed. When two people hated each other, it was not a matter of simple dislike.Demi let out a long sigh and said, “But I only realized tonight that I was too naive! Tell me, how is it that I can still fall for such a trick at my age?”Ruth’s eyes twitched. “Uh, being twenty doesn’t mean you’re old! You’re in your prime, the peak of your youth!”Demi paused for a moment. She was a little tipsy and her thoughts were muddled.After reacting for a few seconds, she nodded in agreement.“That’s true.”“So, tonight, you weren’t upset because you thought his mother doesn’t like you, but because you realized that you’ve been tricked? What trick did you fall for?” Ruth was curious.Demi thought for a moment and said, “It’s a bit of both. Anyway, it’s so uncomfortable here. My 36D chest is throbbing!”Ruth was speechless.It was nice to know that her best friends were the kind of beauties who would not doubt themselves even if they were feel

Ruth jogged after him and took his arm.“Are you angry? You’re not only jealous of men, but also women?”Abel turned to look at her but said nothing.It was past 12 a.m., the bedroom was quiet, with only the soft, soothing sounds of Ruth’s voice, which was indeed quite good at appeasing.Lying on the bed, Abel reached out and pulled her into his arms. In a helpless, low voice, he said, “Alright, I’m not that easily angered.”Ruth nestled against him, hugged his waist, and looked up at him. “But you’re clearly unhappy. Is it because of your grandfather?”Although Abel’s attitude toward her was cold and distant, he usually did not ignore her.If someone came to disturb their private time late at night, Abel would undoubtedly be unhappy. However, today he did not protest and even told her not to disturb him, indicating that his mood was far from pleasant.“After being together for so long, do you think I’ll be affected by the Blakewell family’s actions?” Abel lowered his eyes and
