"Really?" He murmured, staring intently at her flushed cheeks, looking as if his mind was full of thoughts.Ding dong!The elevator had arrived downstairs. They both walked out and headed toward the spot where Terry parked his car."Well, then," said Lisa, looking very keen to send Terry off. "Goodbye!"She then turned around and was about to leave, but he quickly grabbed her arm, and with a single pull, he dragged her into his arms."Ow!" She cried out as her nose bumped into his chest.It was really painful! She was starting to get worried about her nose now that the same thing had happened over and over again. No matter how sturdy her nasal bone was, she was not sure if it could withstand such a bump so many times!Terry leaned down and inched his face next to Lisa's ear before saying, "Didn't you tell me that you'd do whatever I want if I keep what happened that night at the hotel a secret?""What..." She licked her dry lips and asked, "What do you want me to do?""I want

Once Serenity had put all the groceries in the fridge, she turned around and discovered that Jackson had been leaning against the kitchen door and staring at her, seemingly with his mind full of thoughts.She turned away disconcertedly, trying to evade his eye contact, but as she walked out of the kitchen, there was simply no way for her to avoid him. He grabbed her arm and said, "You haven't said good night to me yet."She was startled, but then quickly said, "Good night."He stared at her and suddenly smiled, saying, "Your good night wishes are starting to sound more and more forced and hollow, Sis.""..."Serenity's chest tightened, unable to find the right way to respond to him."Someone suggested," Jackson said, "that if I want to make you like me, I should try to please you."He then bent down so that his eyes were on the same level as hers, and he added, "What do you think? Would you really like me if I tried to please you?"Serenity almost bit her tongue as her eyes wid

It was usually a difficult journey to the graveyard, not to mention a time-consuming one. In fact, even the grave was cracked in many places, and fixing it would require a big undertaking, so Serenity felt that it would be much better to just move her mother's grave to a proper cemetery.Alas, just as she was planning to do so, she had been thrown into prison and forced to abandon the idea temporarily. When she was finally released, she found herself penniless. She could not afford to pay the workers to relocate her mother's grave, much less buy a spot in a cemetery.As she walked to the foot of the hill, she saw the graveyard administrator working the registration in the shed that was set up there. There were many people who had gotten there earlier queueing up to register one after another.Serenity joined the queue, and when she got to the front to register her mother's grave number, the administrator noticed it and quickly asked, "What are you doing here? This grave has been mov

Suddenly, a pair of beautiful lips with no lipstick applied flashed through his mind. Those rosy pink lips had a natural appearance, and he felt it was the most suitable color. “Wipe it off,” said Lucas. “Huh?” His words were so sudden that Aria failed to react in time.“I said, wipe off your lipstick.” Aria was left dumbfounded. They were on the way to the banquet. She had deliberately dressed up today because of the event. If she removed her lipstick, her makeup would be ruined. Not only would she not stand out from the rest, but she was afraid that others might start laughing at her. “Now? But we’re almost there…” “Now,” interrupted Lucas impatiently. Aria noticed the displeasure in his gaze, but she didn’t want to risk angering him. She bit her lip as she pulled out a napkin which she used to wipe off her lipstick. Lucas then pulled out a silver bracelet from his pocket. He glanced down at it with unprecedentedly gentle eyes while stroking it with his fingertips, as

“I know,” replied Serenity through her sobbing. Now that things had come to this, she had no idea what other method she could use to acquire fifty million dollars. Jackson smiled at her. “I’m not gonna pay you,” he said. Serenity froze up immediately. All of a sudden, she felt like a deflated balloon as the last glimmer of hope faded from her eyes. Of course, he wasn’t going to pay her. What made her think that he would fork out such an outrageous sum of money just because she promised to stay with him?Serenity laughed at how pathetic she was. Did she really think that his interest in her was worth that much money? She silently lowered her head, and her grip on his hand gradually loosened. Jackson gazed at her silently. After a while, he stood up and said, “Sis, I think you should get a proper rest first. I’ll get the servants to prepare some food for you. After that, you should go get some sleep.” After telling her that, he got up and left the room. That left Serenity alo
