"Wait, Jack! But Lisa's still in there…""Terry's here," said Jackson. "He'll take her home. There's nothing to worry about.""But…""Or do you want to stay here so you can touch Terry's face and find out if it's as nice as Lisa claimed?"Jackson raised his eyes and glanced at Serenity."No!" she hastily replied."Then let's go home now."Meanwhile, Terry pulled Lisa's hands down, bent down, and without saying a word, scooped her up into his arms before striding out of the room."Wait!" Lisa protested, struggling to get down from Terry's arms. "I… I don't want to go yet! I want to drink more! I want to play boxing with them, and I… I want to see them dance…""Fine," said Terry coldly. "Then I'll drink with you, play boxing with you, and dance for you!""You…" Lisa tilted her head dazedly, almost as if still thinking about what he had just said. Nevertheless, she stopped struggling and quietly stayed in his arms.Terry then strode out of the room with Lisa in her arms. He sto

Terry was caught off guard. He lost his balance, and his whole body was pulled into the car in the backseat, falling right on top of Lisa's body.The smell of alcohol mixed with her own unique scent filled his nose, intoxicating him."Terry…" she murmured. "Why… Why did you have to come back into my life?"His body stiffened. She could not have known how much of a torture it was to be this close to her and to have her hold him like this. Still… he had no desire to push her away. He wanted her to keep on holding him like this. No matter how painful it was, he knew that he could endure it if he was with her."Because I miss you too much," he told her in a soft voice. He knew that it did not matter what he said to her right now because she would forget all of it once she sobered up. Still, he could not help but answer her question anyway."You miss me… too much?""Yes, I miss you too much…""But… don't you know how much I want to… move on from you?"Her voice was choked, and by th

However... when she kissed him like that, all his self-control crumbled. Even the pain his body was experiencing seemed not to matter anymore.He loved her so, so much. There was no way he could take his love back!He couldn't take her home now. Terry took a deep breath and straightened his clothes, then sat back in the driver's seat and restarted the car.The black car slowly left the residential area, as if it were never there.Half an hour later, Terry's car arrived at his mansion in Solaria. He carefully carried her into the mansion and laid her down on his bed.She was sound asleep with a little smile on her face, seemingly dreaming of something wonderful.Was he in her dream, he wondered."Lisa, am I still… the person you love?" Terry murmured softly.As long as she still loved him, he would fight for their future with everything he had. No matter the difficulties, he would find a solution.All he needed from her was the motivation to give it his all!The night was sile

"Since you're awake, go freshen up. There's a change of clothes for you in the bathroom. Once you're ready, come down for breakfast," he said.His gentle voice brought her back to her senses."But... last night, how did I... end up with you?" Lisa stuttered.Terry raised the corners of his lips in a mocking smile. "You always have these blackout moments when you drink. You don't remember anything that happened last night, do you?"Lisa bit her lower lip and looked at him with big, round eyes. She seemed pitiful and vulnerable when she did that."If I told you that, I wanted to take you home last night, but you kissed me and, just like in the past, promised me a bunch of things, would you believe me?" he said."No way!" she blurted out.With his eyes fixed on her, he walked over to the bed and leaned down, moving his face very close to hers. "Why not? Which part was it that you think you wouldn't do when you’re drunk, kissing me or making me promises?"She fell silent."Lisa Qu

"What happened after I got drunk last night?" Lisa asked Serenity."Yesterday, Jack and I wanted to take you home, but you insisted on calling Gale Porter. But in the end, you ended up calling Terry White instead, and then... well, he came and said he would take you home," Serenity roughly explained the events that took place yesterday to Lisa.The more Lisa listened, the more dumbfounded she became... It was so... embarrassing! She actually called Terry! And she... she even hugged Terry in public and flirted with him?!Indeed, getting drunk would only lead to trouble! Every time she drank alcohol and ran into Terry, they would get tangled up.Of course, the one who made the first move was always her. She was always the one who took advantage of Terry!"Lisa, are you alright? Did Terry take you home safely yesterday?" Serenity asked.Lisa could only give a vague reply, "I'm fine. Err, I'll tell you about it later." After that, she quickly ended the call.Lisa then called home,

He looked down at her and said, "Lisa, I can't just pretend that nothing happened! Last night, you're the one who came onto me strong. Do you want to walk away without taking responsibility again?"Her face instantly turned red.She knew that the "again" referred to the incident years ago when she got drunk and spent the night with him, only to leave the next day. Back then, she could date him after he found her three years later, but now... she was no longer the same person she was back then, and neither was he!Lisa couldn't even remember how she left Terry's mansion. She stumbled out of the mansion clumsily, hailed a taxi in a blur and returned to the office.Work proceeded as usual, but she wasn't in the right state of mind at all."Hey, Lisa, is that outfit the latest model from Brand X? I've seen it in a magazine. It costs over $45,000!" a coworker exclaimed.That immediately attracted the attention of her other coworkers, especially the women, who curiously examined Lis

"Miss Hart, we meet again," Terry said calmly.Monica took a deep breath and said, "You knew I was gonna come, didn't you?""You have no one else to turn to but me," Terry replied.Monica gritted her teeth in frustration. "I came here to discuss a deal with you. I want to sell the Hart family's remaining assets to you at a reasonable price."Terry chuckled. "Really? I already gave the Hart family a sum of money like we agreed. Even with that, you can't save your company, and you now want to offload the mess onto me?""Well, are you gonna buy them or not? This is a good chance for you to expand the White Maple Group's business. Acquiring these assets will only bring benefits to you, without any drawbacks.""I don't necessarily have to buy them because I have other ways to expand the White Maple Group's business. The Hart family, however, has to sell them or bankruptcy is inevitable," Terry said.Although Monica resented him, she had to admit that Terry was telling the truth. "I c
Chapter 1732
Serenity turned around to leave, but Lucas took a quick step forward and stopped her. "Wait! You're not interrupting anything. You don't have to be in such a hurry to avoid me," he said.Pausing for a moment, Lucas continued, "You came to see Mr. Smith about your hands, right? How are your hands doing? Are they alright? Do you still experience frequent pain?"His tone carried unmasked concern."Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gomez, but I would rather discuss my hands' condition with Mr. Smith in private," Serenity said, rejecting Lucas' concern.Lucas' face paled slightly, and he forced a smile. "I understand. You can stay. I'll leave."With that, he walked out of the clinic.Mr. Smith told Serenity, "Lass, Lucas just wants to know how you're doing because he's worried about you. He's been thinking about you a lot for the past five years while you were gone. Whenever he comes here, we always end up talking about you."In fact, they were talking about her just now.Serenity's e
