Bruno set down his coffee cup and looked at her, his smile light and seemingly insincere."What's up? Do you want coffee too?" Bruno's gaze slid over the coffee in front of him before meeting her eyes again.Lizzie shook her head, "No!"Bruno stood and moved to sit next to her, "What, what are you doing?" Lizzie tried to slide away from him as he neared, almost slipping off the chair, but Bruno caught her."I'm not going to hurt you, especially since you're my wife. Even if I did want to do something to you, it would be perfectly justified, wouldn't it?" Bruno said with a smile that sent chills down Lizzie's spine.Lizzie gently pushed him away, "I, I want to go upstairs.""Sure, let's go!" Bruno smiled and took her by the waist, leading her out of the dining room."I can walk myself." Lizzie looked up at him and spoke softly.Bruno ignored her, instead turning to the steward and saying, "Steward, you can go too!" At his words, the steward retracted his stepping foot, "Yes, young mast
"No." Lizzie shook her head. Did he sense something?"I gave you a chance to speak, and if you don't say anything, don't blame me for not giving you the opportunity." Bruno said dismissively, sitting down on the couch nearby.Lizzie hesitated for a few seconds, "You seem to be very busy with work. Can I go back to my country earlier?""Anything else is fine, but not this one." Bruno refused directly without even looking at her.She knew the outcome would be like this. Anyway, she could only resign herself to staying here until he finished his work and returned to his country.Steward sent someone to deliver dinner, but Lizzie, in a fit of anger, didn't eat anything and went to her bedroom alone.Bruno didn't force her. This woman was not only ignorant but also willful. She agreed to have a honeymoon in the United States, but not even a week had passed, and she wanted to return. At least, he had to use this time to deal with everything he needed to manage.For more than a week, Bruno s
Lizzie suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "You mean, we're going home?"Bruno nodded."Great!" Lizzie's gloominess instantly vanished, and she smiled brightly, turning around to give him a hug. "Thank you!"At this moment, Steward approached them. "Young Master, Young Madam, are you alright?"Lizzie shook her head. "I'm fine, sorry, Steward.""You don't have to apologize to me. I should have accompanied you outside. The young master was very worried," Steward said, relieved to see Lizzie safe and sound.Bruno hugged Lizzie. "Let's go! Pack your bags, so we don't miss the flight.""Alright," Lizzie quickly walked into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.Bruno turned to Steward. "Steward, you talk too much. Go prepare the car and wait at the airport," he said coldly before also entering the elevator.Lizzie returned to her room and quickly packed her clothes. There wasn't much, so she only needed a small carry-on bag.Lizzie glanced at Bruno, who was sitting motio
"How can it be? In this house, you are the young lady. We have plenty of servants. You don't have to do anything. Just give orders to them. You just need to comfortably play your role as the young lady and there is no need for you to do the things that should be done by the servants." Flora said so, apparently for the servants to hear, but it was actually directed towards Lizzie, signifying that no matter how egalitarian she was in the Jiang family, in the Leng family, she must abide by the rules and act accordingly.Lizzie nodded, "I understand, Mom," she said, her voice very small.Flora laughed and said, "Good, understanding is important. If you are tired, do you want to go upstairs to rest?""I don't need to, I slept on the plane," Lizzie said, somewhat reserved. It was her first time here, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy and nervous."Come on, have some juice, oh, where is Yan? Didn't he come back with you?" Flora asked."Oh, he said he had a company meeting and wouldn't be
"Um, Kolo..." Lizzie began hesitantly.Bruno halted in his tracks, looking at her, "Since you seem to enjoy calling me Kolo, let's stick with that," he said, before continuing on his way.Lizzie jerked her hand free of his grip, glaring at him, "I can walk by myself, and besides, I don't like calling you Kolo." He was a presumptuous man. It was as if every time he appeared, she was forced to swallow words she hadn't yet spoken."Lizzie, remember, in the Kolo household, you are Miss Kolo, a virtuous lady of good breeding. If my parents find out about your glaring and shouting, well, the consequences could be severe," Bruno murmured into her ear in a lowered voice.Lizzie cast her gaze downward. His words held truth.Bruno took Lizzie's hand once again, and this time, Lizzie did not resist.In the dining room, Yelun and Flora were already seated at the table. Upon seeing Bruno and Lizzie approach, Yelun immediately called out, "Bruno, Lizzie, come sit."Bruno and Lizzie took their seats
“怎么这么问?你吃醋了?”Bruno反问她, Lizzie looked at him and sighed, "Just my luck." Reluctantly, she helped him put on his shirt, her delicate fingertips brushing against his firm skin. She squinted and fumbled with the buttons, her fingers trembling slightly. Finally, she finished buttoning the shirt."Done," she said, quickly retreating to the bathroom. The door was locked a second later.Lizzie stood in front of the bathroom mirror, patting her face and washing it as quickly as possible. When she emerged, she found Bruno already dressed and sitting on the couch. She grabbed a soft yellow dress from the closet and changed in the bathroom."Um, aren't you going downstairs?" Lizzie asked, standing in front of Bruno. She felt a little scared in the unfamiliar home.Bruno put down the financial magazine he was reading. "Let's go!"Lizzie picked up her backpack from the couch and caught Bruno's arm as he was about to walk out the door. "Cold... Yan."Bruno turned to look at her. "What's the matter?"
"No troubles, we're just here to check up since the boss is back." Jepan shook his head, smiling, taking a glance at Lycan who was sipping his coffee, and casually slung his arm over his shoulder. "You're Stone, right?"Lycan expressionlessly lowered his coffee cup, neither confirming nor denying."Rest assured, I'm doing great. You've seen me now, shouldn't you guys get back to work? I have a lot to do," Bruno quickly hinted for them to leave.Jepan retracted his leg from the coffee table, "Boss.""If you have something to say, spit it out. Don't stutter," Bruno lifted his gaze, looking at him."You speak." Jepan nudged Lycan at his side.Lycan continued to drink his coffee, "I have nothing to say. You dragged me here, what do you want me to say?"Bruno lifted his lips, "Is your company going under?""Boss, my company is running perfectly well. Actually, I came here to check up on you, no, on your wife." Jepan finally revealed his true intentions.Hearing him mention Lizzie, Bruno wa
Bruno listened to the busy signal on the phone, put the handset back on the base, and shifted his gaze to Adeline."Alright! Let's go!" Adeline looked at him, wondering if he had just called Lizzie. Why did he have such a big smile on his face? "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go! Don't keep Mr. Wang waiting." Bruno walked over to her and said. Adeline affectionately hooked her arm around his, and they both walked out of the company together.Lizzie sat alone in the music classroom at the piano, her eyes gazing out the window as the sky grew darker. Was she supposed to go back to that house? But she couldn't not go home either. "Lizzie!" Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind.Lizzie turned her head, looking at the boy standing by the door. She didn't seem to know him. "Who are you? Do you need something from me?" Lizzie asked indifferently."You don't remember me?" The boy's face flashed with disappointment. Lizzie frowned, "Should I know you?" Her mind raced, trying
