At that instant, he was entirely devoid of energy like an empty shell without a soul.At this moment, Loreen was also a little surprised.The others did not know about the conflict between Dylan and Charlie but she knew everything about it.It was Charlie who made Dylan ride a bicycle from Eastcliff all the way to Aurous Hill, and made him suffer hardships for his reformation in Aurous Hill.

All the flights to Eastcliff are completely booked today. If I miss this flight, I would be spending the New Year here in Aurous Hill.”Claire replied, “Loreen, do you want us to send you off at the airport?”Loreen hurriedly said, “You don’t have to trouble yourselves.

Also, Happy New Year in advance!”“Thank you!” Loreen nodded. After bidding farewell to Claire’s parents, only t

At this moment, Charlie and his family were in the living room, eating New Year’s Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV. The whole family was happy and harmonious, enjoying the atmosphere.Jacob and Elaine, the old couple who always found each other despicable, had made an exception and held back their bickering during the dinner.Jacob and Charlie drank some white wine together, in which Jacob was in a delightful mood.Claire wanted to drink some red wine with Elaine, but Elaine snatched the red wine from her hand and poured it for herself while saying very seriously, “Claire, you can’t drink alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant. It’s not good for the baby!”With that, she turned to Charlie and said with a smile, “My dear son-in-law, don’t drink too much. Drinking too much wine will affect seeds’ qualities in men! Eventually, it will affect the quality of pregnancy and the development of the fetus!” Claire was immediately flustered. Blushed in embarrassme

As Charlie looked at the photo of the snowy courtyard, he recalled that snowy night in Kyoto many days ago.Under that heavy snowfall, he saved Nanako and unintentionally saved both Jaime and Sophie Schulz.With this thought, he quietly sighed and replied Nanako, “Thank you, and a happy New Year to you too!”He did not respond to the matter of snowing Kyoto that Nanako had brought up. He knew that he should not have too many emotional interactions with Nanako.At first, he felt that she shouldn’t be burdened by the injuries inflicted by Aurora all her life, so he wanted to heal her.Now that she had been cured and he saved her life, so technically speaking, they were even-steven. He would only complicate things if he kept having unnecessary interactions with her.Charlie also knew that his hands were tied and was unable to return their feelings when it came to the women who admired him, including Nanako.Therefore, keeping these women at a distance could be considered the mo

However, Nanako did not deny it immediately nor ran away on the spot. Instead, she put her hands in front of her body and bowed deeply. “I understand, Eminent Father!”Yahiko smiled graciously and said, “I’m too old to stand the freezing wind. I’ll go back to rest first. Don’t stay up too late.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Let me send you into the room, Eminent Father!”Yahiko waved his hand. “Never mind. Since you like pondering, I’ll let you ponder for a while longer.”With that, he made a half turn while controlling his electric wheelchair and slowly went back to his room.Nanako watched her father disappear at the end of the corridor. As she still felt the flushing burn on her face, she gently placed her hands on the thick snow and then placed them on her face.The cold hands brought down the temperature of her cheeks and also made her heart gradually return to tranquility.A moment later, she once again stretched out her hand and used her fingers to write some beautiful words o

Getting worked up, Rosalie hugged Yashita’s waist tightly and asked, “Mom, why are you here? How did you get in here?”Seeing that the soldiers had retreated, Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father asked me to come.”“Father?” Rosalie hurriedly asked, “How is he now? Has he returned home? He didn’t encounter any danger, did he?”Yashita shook her head and said softly, “Don’t worry, he’s fine. He has returned to Eastcliff safely.”Only then did Rosalie heave a sigh of relief and murmured, “Thank goodness…”Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father wanted to come to Japan personally to get you out, but because he is now the main subject of strict monitoring by the Japanese homeland security department, so it’s not convenient for him to come to Japan again, for the time being, that’s why he let me come to see you.”Puzzled, Rosalie asked, “Mom, how did you get in here? The Self-Defense Forces are keeping close watch over me in this maximum-security prison. How did they let you in?”Yashita
