Holden still recalled that he had left a million dollars to his niece before he left. He wondered how long would that last her.“Uncle Holden, you have to be well. Miss Minerva said that she is working very hard. In the future, she would even support you after she graduated from college. You have to be well, Uncle Holden. You can’t do bad things,” Aino said to Holden as if she was coaxing a little child.Holden nodded. “Mm-hmm. I will certainly obey your words, Aino.”“Uncle Holden, it’s already very late. I have to sleep. You should sleep as well, alright?” said Aino again. She was truly sleepy.Holden immediately nodded. “Mm-hmm. Okay, Aino. Little children must sleep more, only then they can grow taller. Quickly go to sleep.”“Goodnight, Uncle Holden. Sweet dreams.” The little child bid Holden goodbye.“Okay.”Aino handed the phone to her dad and instructed her dad softly, “Don’t be so fierce with Uncle Holden. He is a good person.”Sebastian was speechless. He watched Aino
Sebastian nodded. His expression showed that he was not surprised at all. Alex was taken aback as he glanced at Sebastian. “You…already knew about it?”“She was sent to Holden’s place by my father and your uncle. It was her who told Holden that the child she was carrying was his. In the end, Holden saw through it, and the child was not his. Holden then violently beat her up,” said Sebastian.“Serves her right! Don’t let me see her! I certainly will kill her once I see her,” said Alex coldly. At that moment, he no longer cared about the affection they once had. After all, he had repeatedly given Lily many chances and had let her go. Even though they were no longer in love, he also could not bear to be cruel and lay his hand on her. However, what had the d*mned Lily done? She had actually lied and secretly went to the northeast to kill Jane! She had even killed Noah, forced Jane into a dead end and made her so despondent. Such a vicious woman, what was the point of keeping her alive?
Sebastina was a very observant person. Although he was the director of the Smith Group, he also knew that Alex and Sebastian had important business to discuss, so he did not want to disturb them. After he left Sebastian’s office, he came up to Tessa’s office desk. Tessa was not around and her place was empty. When a few of the female colleagues at the side saw Zayn coming over, they could not help but tease him.“The handsome Director Zayn is here again.”“Did Director Zayn bring us any gifts this time?”“If you didn’t bring any gifts, you can bring some candies or chocolates as well. You have to know, Tessa is the most hardworking, sensible, and the prettiest little beauty in our department, and she is just taken by you like this.”Zayn laughed. He took out two boxes of imported liquor-filled chocolates out of his bag and put them in the department. The young ladies instantly screamed.“Wow…”“My mouth is already watering…”“Tessa is so lucky…”“Director Zach is young, handsom
Seeing Tessa explode in anger like that, Zayn immediately asked with concern, “Tessa, what’s wrong? What happened?”Tessa immediately put her phone down, raised her head to look at Zayn. She smiled miserably. “I’m sorry you had to see that, Zayn. I…actually, it’s nothing much. It’s nothing.”She lowered her head, and her tears dripped down. After taking a pause, she raised her head to look at Zayn again. “Zayn, let’s…eat.”Zayn held Tessa’s hand. “Tessa, I am your boyfriend. We are going to be married in the future. Your matters are mine as well. No matter what issues you need to handle, I can help you with it. Trust me. Your future husband still has this bit of capability.”Tessa pursed her lips and smiled. After that, she shook her head. “It’s nothing, Zayn.”“What exactly happened? Do you want me to die of anxiety? You are already going to take it to court! Who is pestering you? Quickly tell me!” Zayn was anxious. He looked at her with concerned gaze, and Tessa finally could no
“My dad tried but also could not chase her away. Besides, my dad had thought that she was very young, so he was worried that if he had driven her out, she would be bullied by those hooligans again. He could only bite the bullet and let her stay at his place. Later on…they had me. I heard that Hanna was only eighteen when she gave birth to me. Now, by calculation, she is only forty years old. You probably could not imagine that a forty-year-old woman, who is clearly still very young, is still only fond of enjoyment and is lazy. She is unmotivated and is only thinking of splitting half of my dad’s property all day long.”“Was your dad’s store opened before their divorce or was it already opened when he was with your mother, I mean Hana?” Zayn asked.Unexpectedly, Tessa’s reply shocked Zayn. “They had never actually been married. It was only because Hana could not endure the tough life, so she abandoned me and my dad and ran away alone. After she ran away, only then did my dad open the
Zayn was even more shocked when he heard Tessa say that. It was simply inconceivable. Before he had met Tessa’s mother, he already had an extremely terrible impression of her. The world was truly filled with wonders. If there were such responsible mothers like Sabrina in this world, then there would also be such irresponsible mothers like Hana.Hana was forty years old, which was not that much older than Zayn. He must bring Tessa along and argue face-to-face with Hana one day. Never mind the past, but since Zayn would be around from now on, he certainly could not let such a cheating and irresponsible mother harass Tessa again.“This woman is indeed too much. Your father is so nice to her, and she actually had an affair!” said Zayn furiously.Tessa sighed. “Before Hana, my dad had a wife. They have been together for many years, but they were unable to have a child. Later on, that woman blamed it on my dad, so she divorced him. My dad did not look for another partner for several years
Zayn was speechless. How could he bear to beat Aino up?Tessa, on the other hand, had always been a sensible and understanding person. She still smiled. “I’m sorry, Aino. I’m not very happy today, so my smile is more awful than my crying. I'll apologize to you, alright?”“Alright,” Aino said nonchalantly.Tessa then looked at Zayn again. “Zayn, you should look after Aino. The company is so huge. If she simply ran around by herself, Director Ford would not be able to find her later. I’ll go to work first. I’m fine. I’ll call you after work.”“Alright. Don’t hold it against Aino, she is just a little brat!” Zayn said.Tessa smiled. “I know. It’s fine, Zayn. I’m going in.”Zayn nodded. He watched Tessa enter her office, then suddenly felt a little pain in his feet. He looked down and saw that Aino was stepping on his feet with both her little feet and she was grinding them fiercely.Zayn was so angry that he suddenly roared, “Aino Scott!”“I told you I forbid you from dating Tessa
The woman Aino pointed at was squatting in a corner of the wall. Her clothes were extremely ragged and her hair was in a mess. When he looked closer, she actually still had some grey hair. The woman had a bony appearance and seemed to be at least forty years old. Also, she seemed very down-and-out at a glance. She could be…a cleaner who swept the streets? However, she was not wearing a uniform, and she was not holding any cleaning tools. She was just squatting there and what she was doing was unknown. At first glance, she looked like a homeless woman.Zayn had never discriminated against vagrants who were homeless. This was because once when Zayn and Sabrina brought Aino along to wonder, they simply were no different from the beggars. They had once lived the toughest life. Therefore, Zayn had always only had compassion and not contempt for such people.However, even so, he could not marry one to be his wife, right? Zayn was also considered a young master from an eminent family back t
