At that moment, Lance and Yvette’s eyes met, and the surroundings fell silent.There were all kinds of people all around, but they did not seem real.Yvette did not hear the buzzing in her ear.She just felt happy to see such a lively Lance.She was elated.The scene that she fantasized about on the plane might really come true.Yvette always felt that she had lived an exciting life.However, at this moment, she felt that she had never really settled down since she got married.Yvette and Lance started from trying to date each other to actually liking each other.To this day, Yvette knew that she did not just like Lance, she really loved him wholeheartedly.Something in her chest wanted to burst out and tell him how she felt out loud, but when she opened her mouth, she could only feel a sharp pain coming from her heart.Yvette expected this.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Farley had regained his footing, pushed away the people blocking him, and approached them.
The old master talked to Yvette for a long time. He had been living recklessly and dangerously for his whole life. In the end, he gave up everything and turned himself in because of his daughter.The police officer saw that it was almost time and went over to remind him that they had to leave.The old master stood up with his trembling body and looked at the haggard Mrs. Quimbey. His eyes were filled with remorse and guilt, and he blamed himself endlessly.“I’m sorry. I promised that I wouldn’t meet her and recognize her, let alone disturb your lives. But this still happened… I’m really sorry.”He looked at her with sad eyes and restrained feelings. However, he did not dare to reveal his emotions.That was because he was afraid of seeing Mrs. Quimbey’s disgust and hatred.Mrs. Quimbey did not respond.The old master closed his eyes and left with the police.Lance stood there and looked at Yvette’s portrait deeply. He was cold, dismal, and silent.Mrs. Quimbey took a deep breat
Euan talked about their current joint project and suddenly thought of something else.“Actually, I’m exploring another project, but I don’t know if it’ll be successful.”Nicole replied, “Oh? Tell me about it.”Euan clicked his tongue. He could not care less about the mask on his face and said, “I heard gossip from someone that a hot spring has been dug out in Mount Baldwin. It’ll be profitable to build a hot spring resort there…”Seeing his excited expression, Nicole smiled calmly.“Gossip?”Euan’s eyes flickered.“My younger brother is an avid rock climber and has gone to Mount Baldwin dozens of times. He told me about it when he came back this time.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is there a report from the relevant authorities?”Euan laughed.“If there was, it wouldn’t be gossip anymore. It’s just that it’s in another province far away, so I’m not so sure. Ms. Stanton, if you’re interested, shall we go and check it out together one of these days? Even if it’s not true, we ca
Julie was a half-assed cook, and Kai had no talent at all. Otherwise, he would not have been beaten by Floyd in the past.When Nicole went into the kitchen, they had already cooked several dishes.They made cucumber salad and pickled onions.There were also all kinds of burnt seafood on the side.Nicole could not bear to look at it.Julie smiled and pulled Nicole to the side.“I just ordered your favorite seafood and sashimi from the Millennium Hotel, so we don’t need to serve this.”Nicole nodded in agreement.Even though Nicole cooked before, Nicole did not cook anymore since she dated Clayton because he did not let her into the kitchen.Thus, she was a little rusty.Seeing the unappetizing dishes that could not be served, Nicole also agreed to wait for the arrival of the takeout.As a result, when they went out of the kitchen, they heard Floyd telling Clayton not to help out because it would be too tiring.Kai coughed dryly and objected in dissatisfaction.“Dear father,
Fischer also stood up and said, “Chatty, are you thirsty or hungry? If you’re tired, you can tell me, and I’ll carry you.”Chatty nodded happily. “Okay!”Clayton cursed inwardly. ‘What a two-faced boy!’Fischer smiled happily and walked up. Although he was thin, he was very agile, and he did not need Nicole to pull him along.He was not tired at all. He just wanted to help Chatty relax a bit.Now that Chatty reached her goal, Fischer would continue as usual.Clayton was speechless at first, but he was subjected to Chatty’s brainwashing, which proved quite effective.Chatty hugged and kissed Clayton from time to time and wiped Clayton’s sweat.She said that he was the best dad in the world and praised him, saying that he was really good-looking and even more handsome than Fischer.Chatty also said that she would learn from her mom and find a boyfriend like Daddy in the future.…...After a while, Clayton was much more spirited in carrying Chatty up the mountain.He did not
The tremors from the earthquake were so strong that Nicole had to walk by the wall to dodge the falling objects.Overhead, the dim yellow lights suddenly went out.It became pitch black.For a moment, Nicole could not get used to the dark and could not see anything.In the next second, she suddenly heard Chatty’s scared voice.“Mommy…”Nicole trembled and looked in Chatty’s direction excitedly.Two of her assistants came out carrying a child in their arms.“Ms. Stanton, let’s get out now! The back of this building has collapsed.”The assistant said anxiously.Nicole’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness. She looked at her female assistant, who was carrying Chatty, and saw that her forehead was bruised like she had been hit by a falling object.Nicole immediately went over to look at Chatty. Fortunately, the child was just frightened. The assistant protected Chatty, but she was still terrified.Nicole felt grateful and glanced at the assistant.“Thank you. Let’s go quickly.”
Nicole stood there among the crowd. People were screaming and crying loudly.They knelt there with terrified faces and the indescribable grief of losing their loved ones.It felt as if an invisible wall formed in front of her, forming two different worlds.Nicole looked at the ruins with a pale face.Euan, who was on the side, walked over with a dismal expression. He looked like a mess because he participated in the rescue just now. His body was covered in dirt.He looked at her and hesitated to speak.The emotions in his eyes were very complicated.“Ms. Stanton, during the earthquake just now, the surface fractured, and the boulder fell down when the first tremors hit. Mr. Sloan and three other people who were standing there fell off the cliff together. They didn’t have a chance to react.”This was the cruel truth.Nicole’s face was dreary and tense as she looked at the large surface that had disappeared in disbelief.There was still some loose rubble at the fracture, and th
“Ms. Stanton…”“Madam…”“Mommy…”Countless voices reverberated in Nicole’s ears.It was as if those voices were separated by a window, vaguely lingering in her ears.Nicole fell into a coma due to her grief.She wanted to be strong and face everything, but she dared not.She was afraid that it was true, that something might have happened to Clayton.If so, her life would forever lose its color.After a long time, the voices finally quieted down.She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.This hiking trip felt like a thrilling dream.There were no dead people, screams, earthquakes, or thick fog that covered everything as far as the eye could see.......in the dark.Doctors were coming and going from the room.The tall man stood in front of the window and looked at the dark sky outside. When he turned back, he looked at the woman who was sleeping unsettlingly. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and felt a little worried.He walked over, sat down, and looked at Nicole’s fac
