A Better Man Louise Penny Novels & Stories

After Lambert left, Penny asked, "Mom, I don't understand. Since we have such an advantageous position, why not accuse Lydia and make a deal with Lambert? You know, he doesn't love me at all! Even if he stays by my side, it's just for Lydia!" Judith sat down beside Penny's bed. "Silly child, regardless of whether you'll actually be paralyzed, accusing Lydia now may not necessarily bring us much benefit. Have you forgotten Lydia's previous cases? She has a top lawyer, Kevin, helping her. Furthermore, rather than tearing everything apart, it's better to use your injury to gain the maximum benefit. Lambert is the greatest benefit you can get!" "But he's reluctant..." "Penny, how many of these u

If he did not allow her to get out of the elevator at this time, Louise might not necessarily be able to guarantee that she could get out of the elevator. Louise pursed her lips and put on a charming smile. "Mr. Gu, you can have all kinds of woman as you want. They all have good appearance, good figure, big chest and good talent for your choice. Why do you have to choose a woman like me who has neither a good figure nor good appearance? You will lose your taste in an instant." Louise smiled, but her hands were pinching her back, so that she could say these words without conscience. Louise was a very beautiful girl. She had a good figure and a good appearance.

If only he knew how that man’s presence alone could twist something deep inside her chest—something she had buried, locked away, and sworn never to revisit. “He just wants the best.” Penny almost laughed. This man should get a raise for how passionately he defends Calvin. The thought slipped through her mind like a mischievous whisper, and despite everything, a quiet chuckle escaped her lips. She reached up, adjusting a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Thank you, Wilson.” He brightened immediately, like her smile alone had done the job. “No problem,” he said, returning to his seat with a satisfied nod. Penelope sank into her chair and the moment she did, her shoulders sagged slightly, a

In the picture, Harold was listening intently to a doctor in a white coat, while Jacob sat obediently beside him. Susan's face was only half visible in the corner of the frame, but she was smiling brightly. The caption read. "I thought I'd hit rock bottom, only to realize a new path was waiting just ahead. I'm so lucky that you're always here." I thought I'd be angry when I saw the post. Yet, to my surprise, I felt nothing. It felt like I was observing two strangers who no longer had any connection to me. I liked the post and commented, "Such a lovely family. Congratulations."

Lucy walked into the house quietly just so she wouldn’t alarm Marianne. She had been through so much already. “I’m not saying I pity her”, a voice inside Lucy just kept telling her and reminding her that Marianne deserved better. She didn’t deserve to be dictated by a mere man who sought nothing but the satisfaction of his own greed. Marianne took that situation better than Lucy would. She just wondered what miracle waited to happen from the Great God that will put a smile on her face, one that would carry ten thousand moons without the help of a pampas man.

He questioned calmer than he was before. Elena was a stubborn woman, she wanted the man for herself even though she knew he had no feelings for her, she couldn't help but desire him. And after what she had managed to get him to do this morning she couldn't help but hope for more. "I just wanted to ask if you want to have lunch with me." She innocently smiled up at him. He was hurting her both knew that, the hard grip he had on her arm will surely bruise her but neither cared.

The girl had a hard life for the past two years and she deserved happiness but if the happiness comes at the hands of the enemy, she is just going to have to find the happiness elsewhere. Penn gave Vallas a disgusted look. “I know that I cannot do anything about it, and not just to the prince. “In case you have forgotten, I am a man.” “Yes I know, sometimes you act more of a man than some men I know. Do this acting of yours come naturally or do you just know when to?” “Did anybody ever tell you that you are annoying?” Penn glared at Vallas who had indirectly told her that she was now a better part of a man which seem to offend the few female sensibilities she had left.

“Get lost! I don’t want you anymore from now on. In the future, your place and this mansion of yours will be given to his little pregnant woman! You’re a bottomless ungrateful wretch. You had such a good treasure hidden in your hands, but you didn’t think of letting your man enjoy it. You actually wanted to give it to that son of a b*tch, Huron! Do you think I’m afraid of Huron? Bullsh*t! Get out of here!” The old man just suddenly turned against Cindy like that. Indeed, he also already had seen enough of b*tches like Cindy. The women around him were all after his money, and they were all incredibly debauched. However, this little pregnant woman had a kind of indescribable appeal. She just l

here I was drowning myself in self-pity. What was worse was the fact that my fiance had severely injured my mother over something that could have been handled by the authorities which now was something I could no longer use due to my fiance being the center of the damage control that was to take place if the police were to be involved. From floating on air to crashing face first into the sidewalk of misfortune I found myself lost/confused and hurt beyond measure from all of those I once held close to my heart. I felt alone and confused about what I should do next with José, would I forgive him for what he has done? Could I ever forgive her or him...was I capable of being sympathetic to eith
