Ah, that’s right, Edward. I’m about to be discharged!" Mrs. Goreng joyfully shared the news with Edward. The doctor had mentioned that her health had been improving lately, and the surgical wound had healed.“If everything goes as planned, I’ll be heading home in a week!”Certainly, Edward was delighted by this news. Mrs. Goreng was his only family, and he had been deeply concerned about her health. However, Mrs. Goreng’s discharge would pose some challenges for Edward. He would have to spend more time at home, maintaining a good image of being well-behaved and diligent. Every action would need more attention.“That’s great! I’m thrilled, and I’m sure Mr. Benson is too.” Edward said, turning towards Mr. Benson with a smile.“Well, after all, you know how Jackson is. Your mom just talked to him earlier. You’re always busy and trailing behind.”Hearing this, Edward chuckled, hurrying back to hug his mother.“Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. Wait until you’re discharged, and I’ll ta
Janet, frustrated after Edward ignored her calls for so long, entertained many hypotheses, all revolving around the idea that Edward might have an affair with another woman. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In her mind, there was no other reason for his behavior! Just last night, there was still affection between them; Edward even gave her such a valuable gift. But today, she called him ten times, and he still didn’t answer! Was he playing around and planning to break up?Janet, not one to let such things happen, was determined to prevent it. The seat of the future Mrs. Sherwood belonged to her, and it had to be her, without a doubt!Janet gritted her teeth, continuously pressing the call button to reach Edward. Despite many attempts, the result remained the same – no answer.“Damn it! What the hell are you doing, you jerk!” Janet angrily threw her phone onto the bed and grasped her hair. Her emotions were a mix of worry and fury. She couldn’t bear the thought of
"Don’t think too much. It’s just that I have quite a few things to deal with.’ Edward spoke gently, and for now, his priority was to reassure Janet. ‘Really?’ ‘Yes, trust me. It’s just work.’ Janet felt a bit relieved hearing that, though not entirely trusting. Edward’s thoughts about another woman lingered in her mind. Men are the most untrustworthy creatures in the world.‘You’re only allowed to have me. If I catch you secretly meeting anyone else, I’ll tear both of you apart. Don’t complain then.’ Edward, hearing this, couldn’t help but shudder. The familiar stern tone persisted. Before accusing others, she should look in the mirror! A woman like her, a flirt demanding fidelity from others, was absurd. Also, if he had another woman, so what? They didn’t have any serious relationship. Edward had expressed no desire for Janet to be his girlfriend; she was his ex-girlfriend from the past, not anymore! Not to mention, what could someone as useless as her do? Stir up jealousy or cry and
“I will cover every expense; you just need to compete," Edward exchanged with Gray without hesitation.Hearing this, Gray Robinson burst into laughter. He didn’t expect Edward to be so audacious. Now people in this city could barely get him to talk, let alone book him for a match. Though he hadn’t officially declared retirement, it had been a long time since Gray stood in the ring. He was transitioning into the role of a coach, a trainer, rather than a fighter on the stage.“Is this your personal wish, or is it Benson Jackson’s idea?” Gray Robinson didn’t hesitate to look into Edward’s eyes. He referred to Benson by his name instead of the usual “Mr. Benson.”“It’s mine,” Edward replied straightforwardly. He knew lying to an old fox like Gray would be foolish. A simple call to Benson and Edward’s lie would be exposed. Moreover, Edward believed Gray was smart enough to figure out the answer. If this were Benson’s request, the person sitting here wouldn’t be him, and there would be no n
Thank you." Edward said, tears welling up in his eyes.“I’ll text you the address soon,” McKay responded.“Actually, I’m the one who should thank you. You’ve given me the motivation to come back, shown me that there are many people out there waiting for me.” Gray spoke with gratitude and a smile. The world of boxing, his passion, is where Gray Robinson belongs. Returning as a trainer didn’t suit him, and Edward helped reignite that flame.“I believe Gray Robinson’s comeback this time will be a significant milestone in the world of boxing. Gray Robinson, you are a legend among legends.”Gray simply smiled without saying a word, hoping that Edward’s words would become a reality. Gray Robinson, a legend among legends!“I have some business to attend to; stay here.” Gray stood up, grabbing his coat. Right now, what he needs is time for training. This comeback must be a significant wave in the boxing world.“Sure, take care.”Gray walked briskly to his car, leaving the cafe in less than th
Edward looked at the scene in front of him, shaking his head in frustration. Clearly, he had told Janet they were only going on a brief vacation for a few days, yet here she was dragging along five suitcases, overloaded with who knows how much stuff.“With this amount of luggage, does she plan to stay for a month?” Edward muttered under his breath.As Janet spotted Edward waiting for her, her eyes lit up. She waved continuously towards Edward and McKay, standing as if afraid they wouldn’t recognize her.“I’m here, I’m here!”At this moment, Edward observed everyone looking awkward. This was a hotel, not an airport; there was no need for that kind of enthusiastic waving. Not to mention, today she was dressed in a flashy red lace dress. Let alone Edward and McKay, even people in their late sixties might find it hard not to notice her. Edward wished he could find a hole to crawl into, so everyone would know he was involved with such an ostentatious woman.“What’s wrong with her?” McKay w
Why did you bring me here?" Janet frowned, looking at Edward. When people go on dates, they usually choose beautiful places. In the past, Edward had taken her to romantic locations, so she couldn’t understand why he brought her to a boxing arena. A place filled with violence and constant fighting seemed completely unsuitable for a beautiful girl like her.“Edward, let’s go back. I don’t like this place at all.”“Look around. Everyone here is a somebody. Even the smell of sweat alone is suffocating! I don’t want to be in this dump!” Janet said, stamping her foot on the ground.Edward couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Janet’s words. “Dump”? Did she make a mistake? Did she even know how much the tickets to this place cost? This was the largest boxing arena in the world. Not everyone could just walk in. Saying this place was a dump showed Janet’s lack of understanding. If someone was a “dump,” it was probably here. No matter how expensive her perfume was, it couldn’t cover the chea
After entering Gray’s room, Edward immediately changed his attitude. The cold and arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced by a very cheerful expression.“Gray, how are your preparations going?” Gray noticed Edward’s entrance and instantly became more cheerful. Gray held a favorable impression of Edward, considering him the motivation to return to the arena.“Oh, Edward, you’re here early! I thought you’d arrive a bit later!”“Early? No, I still feel like I’m late. How can I sit still in this crucial moment!” Edward said, advancing towards Gray, handing him a pre-prepared bottle of water.“Thank you. I didn’t expect you to be so considerate.” Gray graciously accepted the water from Edward. Gray’s room number meant nothing to him.“Oh, there’s something I want to ask you. Who’s the opponent you’ve prepared for me today? I’m genuinely curious!”Edward found Gray’s question amusing. The opponent he had prepared for the legendary boxer Gray was nothing more than a snotty-nosed, unaccomplished
