Nagid struggled to get the child off him but was unsuccessful. He even had to clean her himself, as she refused to be touched by anyone else. Though irritated, he kept quiet about it. The child insisted on being close to him, even when he wanted to sleep. This surprised Nagid since the child hadn't been like this when Anna was around but suddenly became attached to him after she left.Finally, when the child fell asleep, Nagid placed her on his bed in the rented house in Belarus. He then attended to his work, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of the child's presence.Looking at her, he felt unsure about what to do with her. The child asked to be picked up, but Nagid ignored her, stating that he had a lot of work to do. However, the child mischievously climbed onto his lap, surprising him.Fed up with the situation, Nagid stopped his work, took the child to the table, and faced her with a cold look. He demanded an explanation for her behavior, but the child shook her head. When aske

Nathan rode to the hospital, still puzzled by the hidden things in the world that remained unseen by others. As he stood in the traffic, he noticed a red sports car approaching. Without giving it much thought, he remained at the intersection, ready to speed off when the light turned green. However, another car suddenly crossed his path, forcing him to stop abruptly."What the..." Nathan exclaimed in surprise.The driver of the car got out, revealing that it was a woman. She approached Nathan's window, visibly upset about the scratch on her car."Damn, you just scratched my baby," she complained. "Don't you know how to navigate a car?"Their sudden stop caused other drivers to honk and express their frustration, urging them to clear the road.Nathan stepped out of his car, facing the angry woman named Bella. She wasted no time in berating him for crossing her path."Well, I wasn't the one who first came and crossed another person's path," Nathan retorted. "If we're talking about who doe

Bella was growing increasingly frustrated as her date had not yet arrived. Over an hour had passed since their appointed time, and there was still no sign of him. She anxiously checked her phone, hoping she hadn't missed his call, but there was nothing.This situation was wearing on Bella, but she felt trapped because her grandmother was becoming increasingly insistent on her finding a partner. The waiter approached her, asking if she was ready to order."I'm sorry, just a few more minutes, please. I'm still waiting for my date. He should be here any minute," Bella said to the waiter."Sure, just let me know when you're ready," the waiter replied before leaving.This was the second time the waiter had come over to ask for her order. Bella couldn't help but wonder if she had been stood up, which seemed absurd since she was paying him to be there.Just as she received a call from her date, she noticed someone else approaching. It was the last person she wanted to see at that moment, but

Anna and Edward continued their conversation, delving deeper into their preferences and personal perspectives. The air was charged with unspoken attraction, and both of them tried to conceal their true feelings. "You know, Edward," Anna began, her voice laced with intrigue, "if I were in Bella's shoes, I might even do the same thing she's doing." Edward raised an eyebrow, genuinely intrigued by Anna's statement. "And what would that be, exactly?" Anna leaned back in her chair, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous spark. "I would hire someone to play a game with my grandmother. It could be thrilling to witness the events unfold and see how everything plays out." Edward couldn't help but smile. Anna's response mirrored his own thoughts, making him wonder if they were more alike than he initially realized. "You have an adventurous side, Anna," Edward remarked. "I never knew you were interested in such unconventional endeavors." Anna smirked, her gaze fixed on Edward. "You don't know

Bella stared at Nathan, her gaze filled with suspicion and confusion. Her grandmother's words echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was any truth to them. It would explain why Nathan had shown up at the restaurant where she was supposed to meet the actor.Did he have a hand in the actor's decision to back out of their deal? Was he somehow involved in orchestrating this entire situation?Nathan noticed the cynical look on Bella's face but chose to ignore it for the moment. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Benson," he began, but Clara interrupted him, insisting on being called by her nickname, "Clara."Nathan smiled lightly at Clara's interruption, appreciating her spirit. "Clara, I never agreed to anything. I just said I would think about it," he clarified.Bella couldn't believe what she was hearing. "But you said you were in love with someone else!" she exclaimed, feeling a mixture of anger and hurt. Nathan had never mentioned being in a relationship before, and she felt betra
