Chapter 7 “Is he awake?” Everyone was stunned when they saw Andrew return to consciousness. The doctors were dumbstruck when they noticed the monitors showing Andrew’s vital signs were all normal. Who would have expected a young man like Dustin to cure an unknown disease that had stumped the entire specialist team? This was unheard […]
Chapter 6 “You useless thing!” Natasha was livid. She grabbed Dr. Jansen by the collar and yelled, “I told you not to remove the needles! Now that the worst has happened, this is all you have to say?” “No, this has got nothing to do with me!” Dr. Jansen shook his head fervently. “It must
Chapter 5 “How did you know that?” Ruth’s eyes almost bulged out of her head. She was more shocked than embarrassed that Dustin could tell so much about her health just by looking at her tongue. Everything from the migraines to diarrhea was spot on. Was he really that good, or did he just make
Chapter 4 “Mom, take James to the hospital. I’ll deal with this.” After a moment’s silence, Dahlia finally made her decision. “Dahlia, you must defend your brother! Don’t let that bastard off so easily!” Florence said hatefully. “Don’t worry, I know what I should do.” Dahlia nodded, gesturing for two guards to send Florence and
Chapter 3 “Fuck off!” Those two words were enough to scare Florence motionless. She had never thought that Dustin could be so scary when he was angry. He had always been so mild-tempered around them. He now looked like he could eat her alive. When she finally got her wits back, Florence began screaming, “Help!
Chapter 2 In the elevator, Dustin stared at the crystal necklace dejectedly. Even though he had expected it, he was still sad that his marriage had ended just like that. He had once thought that happiness was simple: meals on the table, cheerful days, and simple pleasures. Now, he found out that normalcy was a
Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?”
Chapter 330 Serenity took the lunch box and ate it quickly with her head down. Right now, all she wanted was to finish the food and leave as soon as possible. “You’re eating so fast. Are you in such a hurry to leave?” Jackson’s voice reverberated in the office. *Cough cough* Serenity choked on her food. She had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the food in her mouth. Her face turned red. After a while, she finally stopped coughing. A few grains of rice gut on her palm, so she reached for a plece of tissue to wipe it. But before she could do that, Jackson grabbed her hand and pulled it over. She twisted her wrist uncomfortably but failed to break free. “My hand’s dirty. I need to wipe it,” she said. “Dirty? He chuckled. “I don’t think it’s dirty at all.” He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her palm, licking away the grains on her palm one by one. Serenity’s body turned stiff. “Done.” He sounded like he hadn’t had enough yet. Serenity came back to her senses with a jolt. She found that he had licked away all the rice on her palm. But he was still holding onto her hand. With his beautiful eyes, he gave her an intense stare. “The rice tastes great. I wish there were more.” Her heart skipped a beat. His words were very suggestive and his gaze was full of lust. She quickly looked down to break off eye contact with him. His eyes seemed to have a magic power that could entrance people. Fortunately, he did not keep holding onto her hand. He loosened his grip slightly, and her hand finally regained freedom. Serenity went back to her meal in a hurry. A few moments later, she heard him say, “Sharing a meal with you like this makes me feel as if we’ve returned to the past.” Her hands stopped The past. It felt like a dream. They could never go back to that time anymore. Everything about “Jack” was now buried in the depths of her heart. It was almost 1 pm when Serenity finally got back to the restaurant. Clara did not seem suspicious that it took her almost an hour to deliver a single order. However, Serenity apologized in Clara of her own accord. “I’m sorry it took so long.” “Don’t worry about it. There was a lot of food, so I’m sure it took you a few trips on the elevator. Thank you for your hard work,” said Clara, “Td the customers say anything?” Being a business owner, she was naturally worried that the delivery recipients would complain or ask for a refund. “No.” Serenity sounded a bit guilty when she answered. She went back to work and delivered other orders. When they had lunch at 2 o’clock, Serenity did not eat much.
Chapter 329 After Serenity pushed the trolley into the building, a receptionist greeted her. The receptionist only asked Serenity for her name and did not even ask her to register. She even took the initiative to help Serenity press the elevator button. All this caused Serenity to gradually come to a certain conclusion. When she arrived at the specified address, a tall woman professional–looking attire came over and said, “Miss Lewis? I’m the one who ordered the food. You can put it down here. Please take these two sets to the CEO’s office.” Serenity’s heart sank. Her questions had been answered. The CEO’s office. Jackson was the CEO of Valor Group, so did that mean she was gonna take the two sets of takeout to Jackson’s office? Serenity picked up the takeouts and went to the CEO’s office. In front of the dark wonden door, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door twice. “Come in.” A valce came from the inside. Serenity opened the door and walked in. She saw Jackson sitting at the desk with his head down, reading some documents. “Your takeout is here. I’ll put it on the coffee table,” Serenity said and pursed her lips. Jackson raised his head and saw Serenity walking to the coffee table to put down the takeout, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” he asked. He stood up, went around the desk and walked over to her. “I have to go back to the restaurant to deliver other orders,” she replied. “Have you had lunch?” He suddenly asked out of the blue. She froze and blinked as his question caught her by surprise. “Looks like you haven’t. Let’s have lunch together. I want to try the food that your restaurant makes,” he said. He pulled her to the sofa and pressed down on her shoulders to make her sit She instinctively tried to stand back up, but the force on her shoulders made that impossible. “You…” She glared at him. “What? You don’t like to eat with me?” he asked with a smirk. “I don’t have time,” she said. “Really?” A dangerous glint crept into his eyes. “In that case, maybe I should return all these takeouts.” Serenity suddenly realized with a jolt that the person in front of her was Jackson Valor! A man like him would not accept rejection gracefully. If he returned the order, it would be a huge loss for Clara Moreover, if he decided to go after the restaurant, Clara’s little restaurant might go out of business. “Just lunch?” she asked after she calmed down a little. Jackson smiled, “Of course. What else can we do?” He removed his hands from her shoulders and opened the takeout lug on the coffee table. His long and slender fingers were very nice to look at. Even the shapes of his fingernails were pretty. Hands like that, even when they were just opening a plastic bag, were aesthetically pleasing and eye–catching. He took out the two sets of meals, helped her break apart her disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.
Chapter 3281/2In the wee hours of the morning, when Serenity was asleep in bed, the door between the two rooms slowly opened, and a tall figure crept in.The figure’s normally cold eyes now looked at the woman on the bed with a lot of affection.“Good night, Sis.” A deep, elegant voice came out of his
