Chapter 371: As You Wish

Nanxiao's mind kept replaying that kiss.She regretted not listening to Qinián's advice back then.She always thought Marcus Kingsley was a perceptive person; since she had rejected him before, he should have known when to stop. But...When she returned to the Huo residence, it was already late at night.Nanxiao didn't disturb Aunt Yang and tiptoed upstairs.Her phone buzzed with a message from Marcus Kingsley, asking if she was home and saying 'sorry'.Nanxiao tossed her phone aside without replying.She lay in bed, with only the bedside lamp on, casting a dim light, much like her mood at the moment.She didn't know how long she had lain there, but as she was about to drift off to sleep, a loud noise came from downstairs.The sound made Nanxiao's heart race. She immediately got out of bed and, as she opened the bedroom door, a figure suddenly darted inside.Startled, Nanxiao took several steps back before recognizing the person.Edmund Montgomery's eyes were bloodshot, his

Chapter 372: Never Letting Oneself Idle

Since the moment Qinian saw Vanessa Galsworthy, she started to scold her. For more than ten minutes, she didn't repeat herself.Vanessa Galsworthy was in a bad mood at first, but seeing Qinian worry about her and speak eloquently, she couldn't help but laugh."Are you still laughing? I was scared to death, you know? I called you yesterday but you didn't answer, I thought you were busy, but today your phone was off. I even went to your studio, Marcus Kingsley said you didn't go there."Qinian glared at her fiercely.She wanted to call the villa, but since she couldn't see Vanessa Galsworthy, she wasn't reassured, so she came over."I'm fine, just tired recently, want to rest for a while."Vanessa Galsworthy avoided Qinian's gaze.Qinian tilted her head, using the sunlight streaming into the room, she saw the bruise on Vanessa Galsworthy's chin."What happened? Are you hurt?"Qinian just lightly touched it, and Vanessa Galsworthy frowned.Even though the mark was light now, it

Chapter 373: Nothing More Than This

Clark Toland went to the hospital first.Vanessa Galsworthy and Hannah Pope sat facing each other."Did you know all along?"Vanessa Galsworthy raised her head and asked Hannah Pope. The juice in front of her had already cooled, and in the quiet café, they could even hear each other's breathing.Hannah Pope, realizing that the matter couldn't be hidden any longer, had no choice but to admit it."Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean to deceive you. It's just that Edmund Montgomery hurt you so much back then, and I didn't want him to bother you again, so..."She didn't continue, but the guilt in her eyes was obvious."I also asked Marcus Kingsley about it. He didn't say anything clearly, and I never thought he would lie to me about such a thing, nor did I think you two were in on it together."Vanessa Galsworthy wasn't blaming them; she was blaming herself for being too self-assured.Hannah Pope, knowing she was in the wrong, did not defend herself. At the time, her thoughts were simple: she

Chapter 374: Sticking to One Path Until the End

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone."Tell me first, how is she? Is she at the villa? I'm coming over to see her now."Marcus Kingsley did not answer Hannah Pope's question but instead fired off one question after another.Hannah Pope let out a cold laugh."Do you think she wants to see you right now?"Hannah Pope hung up the phone.Vanessa Galsworthy leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.Marcus Kingsley was more than just a friend to her.During those difficult days in her childhood, it was mostly Marcus Kingsley who had been by her side. The roof of the Galsworthy family house held many memories of the two of them together.Even after they started working, Marcus Kingsley would always find ways to help her.He was both a mentor and a friend.Vanessa Galsworthy always felt that the person she owed the most in her life was Marcus Kingsley.But now...The car stopped, and Vanessa Galsworthy went upstairs to pack some simple clothes.When

Chapter 375: Free to Act as One Pleases

Hannah Pope had been accompanying Vanessa Galsworthy for almost an entire day, and she must have turned down a lot of work.Moreover, Vanessa Galsworthy didn't feel that she was at a point where she absolutely needed someone to accompany her."Alright, I'll be on my way then."Seeing that Vanessa Galsworthy's mood was still decent, Hannah Pope went off to attend to her own affairs.Vanessa Galsworthy carried a pile of things to the hospital, but she did not see Edmund Montgomery there.The room was empty, with the white, neatly spread sheets showing no signs that anyone had stayed there.Vanessa Galsworthy wanted to make a call but suddenly remembered that her phone was still in the bedroom at the Huo residence, and she hadn't brought it with her.As she walked out of the room, intending to find a doctor, a young nurse came in."Hello, do you know where the patient from this room has gone?""Do you mean Mr. Montgomery? He's been discharged.""Discharged? But wasn't he very il

Chapter 376: The Heart Grows Weary

"Lu Qian, find a few reliable people to keep an eye on Marcus Kingsley," Edmund Montgomery suddenly spoke up.Lu Qian was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard. "Edmund, there's no need for that. We all know what kind of person Vanessa Galsworthy is; don't get too worked up over it."He whispered, wondering if the photo had been too much for Edmund Montgomery to handle. "No, I'm worried Marcus Kingsley might do something to Vanessa Galsworthy."Edmund Montgomery still didn't turn around, gazing into the distance. The weather, which had been sunny just moments ago, now seemed to be pressing down, gloomy and oppressive."I understand," Lu Qian said, indeed comprehending Edmund Montgomery's concern. Men, in their desperation, could do irrational things. Edmund Montgomery still wanted to protect Vanessa Galsworthy.But Lu Qian couldn't fathom why Edmund Montgomery would say such heartless words when he knew Vanessa Galsworthy's situation and that she had never truly given up o

Chapter 377: Helpless

Marcus Kingsley invited everyone for afternoon tea, specifically giving Vanessa Galsworthy a cup of hot juice.Vanessa Galsworthy looked up at him and gently curved her lips. "Thank you."This was how distant they had become, as if they were merely colleagues."The partner called yesterday, inviting us to a small gathering. It's not a big event, just familiar faces," Marcus Kingsley said in a low voice, his handsome face adorned with a faint, warm smile."I've been feeling tired lately, so I won't go. Can you explain to the partners on my behalf?"Vanessa Galsworthy didn't want to go. She hadn't been interested in much lately, and if it weren't for the work she couldn't hand over, she probably wouldn't even be here."Alright, take a good rest. You look a bit pale," Marcus Kingsley said, his tone full of concern.Vanessa Galsworthy smiled at him but said nothing.Marcus Kingsley went off to handle other matters, and Vanessa Galsworthy also got up and left the studio.She walked

Chapter 378 As Long as You Don't Care About Her Feelings

Edmund Montgomery only found out after arriving at the party that Vanessa Galsworthy had not come, but instead went to the countryside with Hannah Pope.He did not show the hint of joy in his heart on his face.And just as he was about to leave the party, he made eye contact with Marcus Kingsley.Since they met, it was also an opportunity.Edmund Montgomery and Marcus Kingsley sat face to face in a corner, Clark Toland stood not far away, preventing anyone from disturbing them."Vanessa Galsworthy knows you sent someone to track her, she won't forgive you."Marcus Kingsley sat there, his gaze filled with hostility towards Edmund Montgomery."Will she forgive you?"Edmund Montgomery replied without hesitation.Marcus Kingsley was speechless for a moment.Forgiveness, it's not something that can be talked about, but Vanessa Galsworthy probably can never go back to the way she was before with him."Edmund Montgomery, don't do anything self-righteous anymore. You mean nothing to

Chapter 379: I Am Very Busy

Vanessa Galsworthy no longer continued to serve as a mentor for that show.When the announcement was made, it drew considerable attention. Some people felt that Vanessa Galsworthy was being somewhat irresponsible, but of course, many others supported her, given that she was now pregnant.Edmund Montgomery learned this news while he was at the hospital.He was in the doctor's office, waiting for his test results, when Clark Toland reported the news to him."Did you look into it? What's the reason?"Edmund Montgomery frowned, finding the news quite sudden."I did, but I didn't find anything suspicious. I also asked Hannah Pope about it, and she said that Mrs. hadn't mentioned anything to her before."What could Clark Toland have found out?This was Vanessa Galsworthy's own decision, unrelated to anyone or anything outside, so naturally, nothing would be found."What about the project, is there any problem? And what about Marcus Kingsley?"It was rare for Edmund Montgomery to be

Chapter 380: Pessimistic Thoughts

Vanessa Galsworthy, unable to resist Tabitha Nortonyi, was brought to a psychological clinic.The doctor in front of her was named Liang Bo. He held many professional titles and had made significant contributions in the field of psychology both domestically and internationally.He conducted a basic examination on Vanessa Galsworthy and, after asking a few questions, concluded that she had depression."Your condition has been ongoing for quite some time. If you don't receive psychological intervention, it could also affect your child."Vanessa Galsworthy believed herself to be mentally strong. Even though she had been feeling unwell lately, she thought she could adjust on her own. However, when the doctor mentioned it would affect her child, she relented."What should I do next?"Vanessa Galsworthy asked Doctor Liang, her expression revealing a hint of anxiety."There's no need to worry. I've treated patients with more severe conditions. As long as you come for regular treatment
