Physically and mentally exhausted, Justin slumped to the ground, his body weighed down by the events of the day. Mrs. Laura, with a sympathetic expression, knelt beside him, offering words of comfort and support as she tried to ease his burden.“I’m so sorry, Justin,” she whispered, her voice gentle and caring.“But please understand, Katherine, because her daughter’s abduction has left her emotionally unstable.”Justin nodded wearily, his gaze fixed on the floor as he tried to process everything that had happened. His mind raced with conflicting emotions, but amidst the chaos, one thought remained clear: he needed to find a way forward, for Julie’s sake and his own.After comforting him, Mrs. Laura hurried off to tend to Katherine. At that moment, a pair of worn-out shoes appeared before Justin, belonging to Mr. Thomas.“As a fellow man, I advise you... to divorce her, for your own well-being.”As Mr. Thomas attempted to console him, footsteps echoed down the hallway. Leona, with a h

Katherine kept drinking and was drunk without even realizing it.As for Laramie, he wasn’t drunk. He looked at Katherine in front of him, feeling that this girl, even when drunk, was adorable.Much more seductive.Laramie stood up and went to sit down next to Katherine. He placed his hand on her thigh, then gradually slid it inside.Katherine did not resist, she even leaned against his chest.“Mr. Laramie, I am exhausted, very sorry, and very resentful.” Katherine talked loudly.“I know. I understand what you’re going through, honey. So I’m trying to make it up to you.”Laramie replied yes. He looked around and saw that the restaurant was now empty, under the dim lights. Surely no one was paying attention to this side, he thought.He then pushed his hand deeper and into Katherine’s panties. A feeling of stimulation came from his fingertips, causing his body to quickly heat up, and certain parts also felt stimulated.But at this moment, Katherine suddenly pulled away.“I want to go to

Even though Laramie is her husband, Kimmy doesn’t like him at all. In her eyes, he was the ugliest person in the world, short and thin, with a bony face, a broken nose and bulging eyes. His personality is also unpleasant. For Kimmy, no one would want a man like Laramie thrown on the street, but she did not expect that her discarded items would be a “piece of gold” to others.“Good afternoon, dear wife.” At this time, Laramie spoke up to greet Kimmy. He, as usual, approached and kissed his wife’s cheek. However, these actions are very mechanical, as if pre-programmed, with no emotion.“I’m back too early today.” Kimmy said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.Laramie did not answer that statement, but quickly went upstairs.“I took a bath.” After speaking, he immediately left, not wanting to stay any longer. But at this very moment, Kimmy’s nostrils moved slightly. She smelled a strange smell, a woman’s smell, and this smell made her a little uncomfortable, unlike the perfume scents tha

After the butler Patrick left, Justin promptly made his way up to Julie’s room. Stepping inside, he saw the little girl playing with her teddy bear, her adorable and innocent demeanor instantly softening his heavy heart, casting aside all worries and concerns. Here, there was only warmth and his daughter, still innocent and carefree.“Daddy!” Julie exclaimed upon seeing Justin, her improved health and radiant complexion clear compared to days prior.“Feeling better, sweetheart? Hungry for anything? Daddy will fetch some pastries for you,” Justin gently inquired, stroking Julie’s head.“I’m not hungry, Daddy. But earlier...” Julie referenced the incident she witnessed in the tearoom.“Was Daddy and Uncle Patrick talking about Grandpa? Are we going to visit him soon?” Her question sent a shiver down Justin’s spine. He had no intention of taking Julie to Kimberly Manor. Even if Patrick discovered her existence, Justin was determined to protect Julie; no one could harm her.However, expla

“If it were ten years ago, when talking about this, I would definitely feel sorry and sad,” Justin said, then smiled.“But now things might be different. Over the years, I’ve grown up, become a father. I’ve been through so much. In my heart, the surrounding life now has many things, many issues, and that matter is no longer the center. Of course, I can’t always revolve around it, make it the focus. So I just want to say... that’s it.”“Yeah, I know how strong you’ve become. But earlier... did that butler see Julie?” Monica was outside and witnessed everything. She had considered intervening to stop Julie but didn’t make it in time, and she didn’t know what Justin’s intentions were. But then, through the crack in the door, she saw Justin’s attitude, knowing he didn’t want his daughter to appear in front of the Kimberly family butler.“Yeah, that’s right,” Justin sighed. “Indeed, humans plan, God decides.”“The Kimberly family, or your grandfather, doesn’t know about the existence of th
