Kelly felt that as she was the Youngs' granddaughter, the man's clothes didn't deserve to touch her body. Fortunately, her crying kept him away from her.Kelly couldn't believe what had just happened. She thought that Gabriel was displeased because she had embarrassed herself.After all, he was Regalia's famous playboy and lived in the shadow of the Youngs all year round. It was normal for him to have a temper. Unsurprisingly, he was angry and didn't want to help her.She looked at him, believing she could soften him by pitifully asking for his help. Sure enough, although he frowned, he stepped forward.Seeing this, she felt better. Kelly waited for him to comfort her and smooth over her embarrassment. All she had to do was continue to act aggrieved and helpless.When he helped her to get up, she pretended to go limp and threw herself into his arms. Gabriel held her firmly. She was full of gratitude and beamed at him."Thanks, Gabriel."But suddenly, he let go of her and took th
Everything she wished for would come true … Rose felt moved by his words. She could feel Oliver's love for his daughter in every syllable. She could only wish that Henrietta was still alive and could meet with him.Henrietta. The name echoed in her mind. She suddenly thought of the old woman she had just met. There seemed to be a force pushing her to do something. But what should she do?Rose was stuck in a daze and didn't notice Kelly's vicious gaze on her. Everything she wished would come true? Hmph! Kelly gritted her teeth secretly. Everything Rose wished for would come true. But what about her? She wanted to get everything she wanted, too. As for Rose ...Kelly glared at them and turned to leave, no longer rushing back to regain her glory. Oliver's hearty laughter came from behind her.His health wasn't as good as it was before. She thought that even if he survived that fall from the bridge, his physical condition would at least worsen. Unexpectedly, his physical and mental
Rose looked happy today. Miles hadn't seen her smile in a long time. He sensed that she was at ease and wanted to indulge her.A wild red flower bloomed on the steep slope. She picked the flower and was about to give it to Oliver when she heard a voice."Jon!"She recognized that it was Anastasia. She was talking to Jonathan. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but her feet seemed glued to the ground.She saw Anastasia's back. She occasionally fiddled with her hair. It reminded Rose of a woman talking to her lover."You drank too much and turned off your phone last night, right? You should rest for a while. Well, I'll miss you too. I'll see you when I get back."Although it wasn't clear, Rose could just about hear what Anastasia had said. Although the two had only been in Aquastead shortly, they seemed very familiar!She felt her heart tighten uncomfortably. But suddenly, she realized something and smiled bitterly.He had given the ring to Anastasia. Although she was the adopted gran
Nixon snorted. Both back then and now, he was always just a tool in Kelly's eyes.Thinking of his previous experiences, he became colder and unconsciously tightened his grip on her chin. He even left some visible marks on it."Ah! It hurts!"She was in pain and felt that his reaction wasn't proportionate. Did he think the matter was too serious to help her with? But she could only ask him for help.She couldn't gauge his expression. But even though she was blindfolded, she could feel his hand on her chin. Just as he released his grip, she rubbed his hand with her face."I'm a woman. I can't do it. Only you can help me. You'll help me, right?"What she was talking about was a life-altering matter. But her innocent tone made it sound like she was asking for a bouquet or a gift from her lover. He stared at her and smiled silently.There was a moment of silence as she waited for his answer. Just when she thought she hadn't managed to seduce him, his voice suddenly filled the air."
After he disappeared, Kelly wiped her mouth thoroughly, feeling disgusted.But his smell seemed to linger on her body. The more she wiped, the more irritated she got. So, she simply put on her clothes and hurried out. She couldn't wait to take a bath.When she was walking back to the orphanage, she met Gabriel. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, and his gaze made her feel inexplicably nervous.She almost subconsciously glanced at the tiny house when she saw him. Turning around, she felt relieved to see that the house's door wasn't facing them.Even if he had seen her approaching, he would likely think she had just come out of the alley."Gabriel, hello. I was just on a walk. What are you doing out?"The implication was that she was already taking a walk when she saw him. He raised his eyebrows on smelling a strange odor in the breeze. It was a man's scent. He glanced at her thoughtfully. "Not much. Can you bring me around since you're exploring the place?"He was quite sinc
But Rose wasn't interested in Henrietta's secret hideout. The old woman was too old. She couldn't place any hope on her.Suddenly, she realized that the old woman might have led her to the dilapidated church on purpose. The old woman might have noticed their strange behavior. So, she probably took Rose to eavesdrop on their conversation to alert her of the danger."Thank you." Rose didn't know what those people would do, but they plotted against the Youngs. This matter wouldn't be so easily resolved. The old woman smiled brightly at her like a child who had just gotten praised.She felt warm, supported the old woman, and walked along the road ahead. But the old woman suddenly stopped and looked at her. "Rietta, I can't walk anymore."She was silent momentarily before saying, "I'll carry you." She squatted and let the old woman lie on her back.The old woman was thin and not very heavy. But even so, it was still much more difficult for Rose to walk than before. Nevertheless, sh
The Gibsons' driver took them back to the Gibson family's mansion."No need." Jonathan took his coat off, although he looked cold. He glanced at Zac and then brushed past him to walk straight to the door.He was in a hurry as he had planned to find Rose yesterday, but Zac had delayed him. When he woke up, he could only think about her and couldn't wait to see her."Hey, Jon! At least you ..." Zac chased after him but realized that only Rose could make Jonathan so anxious.He thought that he had better not hinder the couple from meeting each other. So, he stopped and immediately ordered the driver to take Jonathan away.Jonathan went directly to Young Estate. When he arrived, he charged his phone and called Rose, but she didn't pick it up.It was dark in Young Estate. For some reason, his eagerness to see Rose had diminished. He felt a little anxious now. Frowning, he decided to go in. He rang the doorbell. A servant who had been left behind to keep watch answered the door. The
Kelly didn't want to go. Her original plan was to stay inside all night and wait for the news of Oliver's death and Rose's scandal the next day. But Miles and Gabriel were anomalies in her plan, so she had to adapt it.She followed Gabriel. As night had fallen, he turned on the flashlight. But as soon as they were alone, she pretended to sprain her foot."Ah!" Her face cringed in pain. "My foot! Gabriel, I ..." She seemed to be in great pain and looked like she was about to cry.There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. When he saw Kelly's acting, he thought about poking fun at her and mocking her. But after some thought, he decided against it."Then turn around. It's dangerous here." He sounded a little cold.Hearing his words, she became more aggrieved. "No! How can I go back? Grandpa and Rose are missing. What if something happens to them? We have to find them quickly."She pretended to be strong and stood up forcefully. But as she did so, she let out another cry of pain.
