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
In the peaceful atmosphere of her hotel room, Katherine felt as if she were standing before an insurmountable wall. Laramie’s eyes were looking at her, and she felt immense pressure and fear.Her hands unconsciously curled tightly around the blanket, waiting for the man’s reaction first.“You don’t have to explain,” Laramie said, her tone light and sincere. “What happened between us isn’t as important as you think. I just want you to understand that, no matter what happens, I’m still here, by your side.”Katherine looked into Laramie’s eyes, feeling what he said touched the bottom of her heart. In her vague and complicated world, every word he said was like glimmers of light, making her feel a little more secure.“Why do you care so much about me?” Katherine asked, surprise in her voice.“Because I love you,” Laramie answered firmly, but also as an oath. “Love at first sight, from the moment we met. You don’t need to explain or express anything. Just know that I will always be here, r
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
Patrick placed a warm hand on Justin’s shoulder, trying to convey something gentle and supportive. “Think about this, Justin,” he said, his tone full of understanding. “Grandpa is my only relative left in the world. He has lived in regret and remorse for not treating me well all these years. Now is the last chance for him to do anything.”Patrick’s words awakened in Justin a stream of indescribable emotions. He felt a turmoil in his heart. Part of him wanted to deny and hide, but the other part felt a deep sympathy for his grandfather, a man who had lived a life full of hardships and hardships. The reflections surrounding Mr. Kimberly made Justin heartbroken, but also contained a bit of hope for reconciliation and change.“Okay, I’ll come.”Justin said, and when butler Patrick achieved his goal, he smiled with relief, his eyes sparkling with tears of emotion.“Yes, that’s right, the boss will definitely be happy.”Justin didn’t answer anymore. He bowed his head and tapped his fingers
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
“Amazing!” Justin exclaimed. This was the first time he had enjoyed such a delicious and unique drink.“Now, if you opened a bar, you’d make a fortune,” Justin joked.Monica set down her tools, then sat on a stool and said, “Actually...”She winked mischievously.“A bar is the best place to gather information, the place with the most diverse people in the world.”“Oh...” Justin chuckled, not realizing Monica had actually opened a bar.His former subordinate never ceased to amaze him, even surprising him with her ventures.“But let’s get back to the point. That man who came earlier, was he to deliver a message for you to go home to Kimberly?”Justin didn’t hold back, nodding.“That’s right. He said...” Justin took another sip of his drink, letting the bitterness spread in his mouth. He felt that the alcohol numbed his throat, making it easier to speak the hard words. “My grandfather is seriously ill, probably won’t make it, so he asked me to visit.”This statement from Justin created a
“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
Justin sat back for a moment, pondering, then let go of all his grudges and take Julie to see Mr. Kimberly one last time.He walked over to Julie’s room, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.“Daddy!”Julie, currently being fed her dinner by the nanny, lit up upon seeing him.“Daddy, what’s wrong? Did you just have some wine?”Julie’s senses were keen, allowing her to smell the alcohol on Justin despite his recent entry into the room.Her words made him pause, and he involuntarily sniffed himself. Sure enough, the smell of alcohol was strong.Justin suddenly felt ashamed and somewhat guilty in front of his daughter. Appearing before Julie in this state, did he resemble a drunken wastrel?He couldn’t even handle his own affairs and had to resort to alcohol. With Julie being a child and currently unwell, smelling alcohol like this, he wondered if it made her uncomfortable.“Um... Daddy has a bit too much smell now. I’ll come back in a bit, okay?”Justin intended to return to his roo
