Chris was taken aback by Yue Wang's words. The way she seriously blurted it out made him surprise even more. "Do you know the chairman that much to conclude this way?" A low laugh escaped her lips. "Yes, I do. And I know him enough not to have any hopes about the both of us getting married. I knew he had his plans for me just as he told me.""Huh?" Chris raised his brow, Confusion etched on his face. This wasn't the Yue Wang he knew. The happy and cheerful lass seemed scary and too serious. For some reason, he blamed himself for sharing all his burden with her which he thought made her seem that way. "Can you explain? What happened between you and grandfather?""You see..." She stated as she started narrating how it all started between her and the chairman.It all started with the day he came to visit her father's company in China. It was her father Mr. Wang who invited him over for a business meeting."I'm so glad you came Mr. Conrad." Mr. Wang welcomed Chairman Conrad with a bright
Yue Wang finished with her narration, and Chris's lips opened in awe, his jaws dropped, and his breathes hitched as he didn't know his grandfather would go as far as finding a bride for him and claiming she was his bride.What was the actual test he was trying to make Chris fall into? Chris had a lot of questions flowing in his head and all these questions were about the chairman. He couldn't stand it any longer but at the same time, he couldn't do anything about it. If Yue Wang was to be his bride, he should have just said to then making it the hard way."I still can't believe this. What was his ultimate motive?" Chris massaged his temple, his brain couldn't continue the series of thoughts so they started aching, literally."I don't know myself." Yue Wang said, immediately she wanted to make addicted to her words, the grumbling of her stomach interjected, making her bury her face in Chris's pillow in embarrassment.Chris knew this wasn't the time to make jokes or laugh but he couldn'
"The lipstick on your lips is rough," Coldie said, halting in his steps as he leaned closer, pointing at the lipstick stain on the side of her lips.Embarrassment washed over her face and Chris however, spilled his hot coffee on the servants who was serving him his breakfast. Noticing the havoc he just did, he immediately apologized.The servants bowed and ran away to get her faced washed while Chris hid his face, lowering his gaze on his food as he ate in silence."Com'on, it shouldn't be that bad." Yue Wang tried to laugh it off but Cosmos remained unfazed.Chris tried to steal glances at the both of them who were in an awkward position and Yue Wang gave him some signals asking for his help but Chris was guilty for whatever Cosmos said about Yue Wang's lipstick. "Fuck! Do I have any on my lips?" He muttered under his breath, rubbing his lips with his thumb but he was relieved when his lips came out clean. He stood up from his seat and headed to where both Yue Wang and Cosmos were s
"What is this?" Richard's eyes darted on the iPad. The image on the screen blew his mind off as he gazed at Raphael who seemed to be at ease with a peaceful smile on his face, anyone could tell he wasn't easily bothered about anything which made him get on Richard's nerves even more.Raphael adjusted his tie, leaning closer to the table that was separating the both of them. "That's the man lingering in the rumors as the Chairman's son and that woman behind him, doesn't she bring back old memories?"Richard lost it, he hit his fist on the table, dropping the iPad to avoid damaging it. Raphael had a smirk on his lips, a look of accomplishment plastered on his face. "She does, huh?" He asked in affirmation noticing the way Richard reacted at the mention of the woman in the photo."Have you been tailing me? You have no right to do that and I'll sue you even though you're a lawyer." Richard said furiously pointing his index fingers at him with a warning look.Raphael took a sip of his tea
The disguised-looking man chuckled as he wiped his blood stain from the knife he was holding making Raphael scared to death as he knelt in front of him and begged for his life to be spared."I don't want to die now. If you want to talk, let's talk over a cup of tea, that should put your mind at ease first." He said, his tone hushed. "Please...drop...drop the knife." He shuttered.The man found it rather amusing for a full-grown man to be scared to the extent of kneeling to beg for his life to be spared. The man, however, thought it was time to quit playing games and cut to the case. He removed his mask and his long hair cascaded down above his shoulder length. Hitting his mask on Raphael's head he gestured for Raphael to look at him in the face.Raphael out of anxiety, slowly raised his head and gazed at the person in front of him who turned out to be his wife. He blinked his eyes numerously, rubbing them in disbelief as he stood on his first rounding the man who turned out to be a wo
"It's been a long time since we've left the house together," Liana muttered, twirling her fingers on Larry's bare chest as they were both cuddling themselves on the bed.Larry nodded in response as he hugged her tightly, her head placed on his shoulder as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "I have my peace with you closed doors."A smile crept off Liana's face but she wasn't comfortable with the idea of staying indoors until every rumor about them had died down. She missed being free, her slight frown sat on her face, oblivious to Larry that she wasn't happy but Lar BBry was Larry, he figured out her unhappiness in an instant."Com'on, I know you missed your freedom but don't you like staying with me all day? You love it, don't you?" He raised her chin, making her daze deep into his sky-blue eyes.A sigh escaped her lips as she nodded in agreement. "I love it been indoors with you but don't you think it'd make us look pathetic in their eyes?""It wouldn't. It's not like we're
At the Conrad Mansion, the family had already gathered for dinner without the chairman who called them to go on with dinner without him as he needed to take care of certain things.The dinner went on with silence as Cosmos carefully observed Chris and Yue Wang who were taking turns putting food on each other's plateHe narrowed his gaze when Yue Wang took some fries and was about to place them on Chris's plate but deviated and placed them on Cosmos' plate instead, taking both Cosmos and Chris aback but she smiled knowingly to Chris who lowered his gaze back on his food."Thanks," Cosmos said firmly, chopping the fried as he placed them in his mouth.After dinner, Yue Wang retired for the day while Chris and Cosmos stayed behind to talk over some issues."The company is going far and I've spoken to Richard to accept being my lawyer, he'd be of great use." Chris examined, using his hand to support his jaw with his elbow resting on the arm of the chair.Cosmos nodded in understanding. "T

I'm proud of the person you've become."Christopher smiled gratefully, touched by Eleanor's words. "Thank you, Eleanor. Your support has meant everything to us."As the evening wore on, Alexander grew tired from the excitement of the day. Christopher and Yue Wang retreated to the nursery with their son, settling him into his crib for a peaceful night's sleep. The nursery was bathed in soft moonlight, casting a serene glow over the room."He had such a wonderful birthday," Yue Wang murmured, brushing a gentle kiss on Alexander's forehead.Christopher nodded, his hand resting on Yue Wang's shoulder. "It was perfect. Seeing him surrounded by so much love... it's all we could ask for."They stood together in quiet contemplation, watch
