Nicole could not help but ask her own questions and looked at Livia strangely.“You were getting along so well with Nathaniel back then, but you suddenly broke up with him. Even if there was a misunderstanding, you should’ve given Nathaniel a chance to solve it, but the speed in which you turned back to Keith really exceeded my expectations...”Nicole spoke carefully. Livia did not react much and only had a dark and gloomy face.It was as if that memory was a Pandora’s box that she hid deeply.However, for others, it was so insignificant.There was a long silence.Nicole thought that Livia would not answer. Maybe Nicole had been too impudent.After all, this was Livia’s past. It would not be good to pry.Just as she looked away to find Lil Michael, Livia suddenly opened her mouth.“Nathaniel and I really weren’t suitable for each other. Dating and marriage are two different things. His family is too far beyond my reach. The Ferguson family looks at me like I’m a scourge. You s
Livia narrated calmly with her head down, as if experiencing the pain of the past all over again.“Was it my fault? Not long after we broke up, Nathaniel came to apologize. He said that he knew who drugged that glass of wine. His mother was the one who did it. He said that he was willing to marry me and hoped that I would forgive his mother. I was already pregnant at that time. I didn’t know what to do. I told him that I was pregnant with another man’s child and asked him if he was still willing to marry me.”Nicole’s eyes flickered, and her expression grew slightly cold.“He refused?”Livia shook her head. She held back the tears in her eyes and took a deep breath.“He hesitated for a minute and agreed. During that minute, I stood in front of him feeling like I was being lynched. I felt like my life had never been so miserable. I’d rather go back and marry Keith than have anything to do with that man. At least, I don’t love Keith, so he can’t hurt me. But for Nathaniel, he was th
Before Nicole had time to think, she was pulled away by Lil Michael.Forget it. It was Livia’s life. What right did Nicole have to get involved?Furthermore, it sounded like Nathaniel was really not a reliable person either.......After playing for a long time, Nicole saw that Lil Michael was already tired, so she suggested going to a nearby restaurant for dinner.Michael naturally agreed to it.He really had a lot of fun today.No one could control a little wild horse off its leash.Nicole also sent a video to Clayton.Clayton replied with a few solemn words.[His Spanish teacher has already rescheduled his class three times…]Nicole ignored the phone and put it down.Clayton was really crazy!Lil Michael ate his steak with great gusto. The smile on his face never faded.It was clear that Michael was happy from the bottom of his heart.Nicole smiled. “Are you happy?”Lil Michael nodded.“Yeah!”“That’s great! Let’s bring your daddy along next time.”Lil Michael sho
Lil Michael looked up at Nicole in a daze. He flushed and nodded.He suddenly realized that he had made Pretty Lady sad.That would not do.If he continued to be like this, Pretty Lady would hate him.Michael did not want that.Instead of that, it would be better to be good and obedient.It was so hard to be him!Michael wanted to grow up soon.Nicole smiled and pinched his little face.“Hurry up and eat. Let’s go back when you’re done.”Lil Michael nodded with delight.Being with Nicole was the most relaxing since he did not have to think about homework or summer camp.It felt too good!......One afternoon.On a rare occasion, Clayton was idle at home. After being repeatedly involved with Michael’s Spanish teacher, he had no choice but to answer the video call.Sitting on the sofa, Clayton spoke to Kevin in English, interspersed with a few sentences of Spanish from time to time.Nicole came out of the study and saw this refreshing scene.She walked around behind Cla
The male employee was shocked by Yvette’s attitude. To be precise, he was scared to death.He did not dare to say anything else and went back to his workstation.Yvette was not someone to be messed with.Yvette’s temper was even worse than Hans’!Yvette was also Mrs. Sheldon.She did not hold back her temper at all and kicked open the door to Lance’s office.Lance was currently having a video conference.He glanced at Yvette, who was angry for some reason, and frowned slightly. Then, Lance silently turned his gaze back to the conference.Fortunately, the meeting had come to an end, so he hung up the call after saying a few words.Then, Lance rubbed his temples. He could not be distracted or relaxed during a high-intensity meeting. Otherwise, people would see and magnify it several times.However, Lance quickly gathered his mood, raised his eyes, and smiled.The next second, Yvette slammed the coffee in her hand on his desk.A few drops of coffee splattered out and landed on
Yvette’s heart was conflicted. She suddenly smiled and looked at Lance.“Have you seen any other wife that served their husband tea in the office? You’re just making fun of me!”Then, Yvette snorted and proudly turned to leave.Forget it. What else was there to say?Yvette gave him everything she should give. If she reached out for things that did not belong to her, it would just make her seem shameless.Lance chuckled softly, helpless at the way she changed her tune at the drop of a hat. However, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he felt that it was very useful.After all, Ms. Quimbey was really arrogant and cute.It made him learn a lot.After dealing with the matter at hand, he found some time to call the assistant outside.Of course, not Yvette.The male assistant stood there, very puzzled.Lance closed the file and looked at him.“Did something happen outside just now?”The male assistant shook his head, thinking to himself, ‘Nope. Besides Ms. Quimbey scolding you,
Then, Lance devoted himself to his work until the end of the day.It was not really working overtime as he was just correcting a few figures with the other party because of a minor problem with the contract.After hanging up the phone, it was already late. However, it was still very early for Lance the workaholic.It was early enough to book a restaurant in advance to prepare a surprise.Thus, Lance was very excited when he opened the door and went out. However, the moment he went out, he looked at the bright and empty space and froze.No one was there.This was something that had never happened before.Where was everyone?Lance frowned and felt very strange.Even if no one was working overtime, there would still be at least one person around, right?Besides, Lance had not gotten off work yet, but his assistant and secretary got off work first?Was this a joke?Lance’s eyes grew slightly sullen.He immediately called Yvette.She was not here either.The phone rang severa
Click!The lights came on, and the darkness faded. The noise stopped in an instant.The brightness seemed to pull everyone back to the real world.Their hearts instantly turned cold!Everyone was still wearing a smile on their faces, and their eyes subconsciously looked over towards the person who turned on the lights.The name of the person they just shouted stood there with a sullen face, dark eyes, and an icy smile at the corners of his mouth as he stared at them one by one.Of course, his gaze finally landed on Yvette, who was in the middle.The few seconds of silence seemed to be stretched.Everyone stood there stiffly, not even daring to move.They really hoped that it was a dream.However, every one of them had a part in it. It was like their brains were short-circuited. They drank a few bottles of wine and scolded Lance together with Yvette.No one made a sound.Yvette froze as if she was turned into stone.A cold draft came in.Yvette watched as the man in front
