Happy Holy Week!
While everyone was still in shock, they almost forgot to record the looks on their faces. Gabriel saw her fluctuating emotions and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, not happy?" "No, no, it's just that I regret not reacting sooner and not performing well." "Is he belittling you?" Gabriel asked as he led her to a seat, completely ignoring the looks they were getting. "Yeah, saying I'm not ambitious enough, that my family background is poor, and that I don't share his values. He likes someone like Nancy," Acacia sighed. Gabriel patted her arm, deliberately avoiding her skin. Acacia looked up and saw his clear eyes filled with a smile. "Feeling inferior because of rubbish he said? Does he lack the ability to excel on his own and blame others for dragging him down? Just looking for a perfect excuse to eat his cake and have it too." "Perhaps some men can't give their beloved women everything for a while, but that's no reason to blame their own incompetence on others." "So, Miss White,
The gentleman just now was definitely not someone this woman could compare to. She acted like she knew everything but actually knew nothing.As Kamilia arrogantly dragged Paula away, the cashier at the adjacent counter muttered, "That girl is quite peculiar.""Yeah, no kidding. Working part-time like this, you see all kinds of characters."-"Acacia, is your boyfriend really Lawyer Mitchell?"Acacia, feeling embarrassed and guilty, nodded awkwardly.Sitting with her college classmates, all of whom had witnessed Acacia's previous relationship with Kerwin, receiving a wedding invitation from Nancy instead came as a surprise.Many had speculated whether Acacia had dumped Kerwin to climb the social ladder.These whispers reached Nancy's ears, who was seething in the dressing room as she prepared to change into her wedding gown. "That bitch, I knew she had ulterior motives. How did she manage to snag Gabriel? Couldn't she have set her sights on someone else?"Isn't this blatantly coming to
"So, what happened next? How did you two get together?" In reality, everyone assumed that Acacia must have pursued Gabriel."Then..." Gabriel's voice lingered in the air, and everyone leaned in to listen."And then I boldly pursued her, and fortunately, Acacia didn't reject me." Gabriel reached for Acacia's hand, sealing the act."That's amazing! Acacia, I envy you!" The female classmates each sent their blessings.Acacia felt her scalp tighten as her classmates showered her with congratulations."Lawyer Mitchell, is this necessary? This is going to be hard to handle," she whispered.Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Will it, though?""Of course, if everyone knew, how could I find a partner?"Gabriel: ..."This bouquet, I intend to give it to my good friend! Acacia!"Suddenly.The whole room fell silent, and the spotlight followed Nancy's command, landing on Acacia. She was puzzled, not knowing what was happening, while the people around started cheering.It turned out that Nancy wanted to
However, once in the same school, it still felt strange to Eranthe. The second photo was also a class picture, but unfortunately, Colin wasn't in it.By the fourth or fifth photo, a series of basketball court match images came into view.A teenager dressed in a white jersey, with a sports headband wrapped around his head and matching wristbands on his wrists. Sweat trickled down his body, highlighting the contours of his muscles. He lifted a corner of his basketball jersey to wipe away the sweat, revealing his toned abdomen and narrow waist, all captured by the camera lens.At that time, he hadn't yet started wearing glasses, his jet-black hair cropped short. With a casual glance towards the camera, he unknowingly captured the essence of youthful exuberance.Hot-blooded, youthful, and brimming with hormonal vigor—an underage Colin.Eranthe's gaze lingered on this photo for a long time, still unable to comprehend why she hadn't heard anyone mention him back in school.As she scrolled d
Eranthe was still standing there, stunned. Colin opened the door on her side and looked at her blank expression, raising an eyebrow. "Are you out of it?"Could Eranthe say that she was a bit weak-kneed from being shaken by his words just now?"You're not going to play any castle imprisonment or dog-leg-breaking in the future, are you?"Colin was speechless."Are you fucking kidding me of fucking you?"He didn't lower his voice, and Eranthe saw that people passing by were all looking over, so she quickly came out and covered his mouth."Can you please watch your language?"Colin lowered his gaze to the hopping woman in front of him and pulled her into his arms. "Instead of wasting time with wild thoughts, why don't you come home with me and get some exercise?"Eranthe was half embraced by him, her feet almost off the ground, annoyed. "I was too tired last night; I don't want to move today.""I see you're quite energetic, it's not that you're tired, you're not tired enough."Eranthe bit
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Colin sent a message to Morris, instructing him to purchase Sharon No. 3 under his personal name.Since the security here was inadequate, he had to arrange for his own people to come in.Eranthe came out after changing her clothes, intending to make curry fish balls. "It seems we're out of soy sauce," Colin said."Oh? I'll go buy some then. There's a 24-hour convenience store at the intersection," Eranthe replied."Okay, come back soon," Colin urged."Alright," she grabbed her phone, "By the way, did you find out who was taking photos of us? Can I go down now?""Somebody reported me, probably someone trying to mess with me. They've all been apprehended, don't worry.""But will you be okay?"Colin escorted her to the door, "Nobody can mess with me in ASSYRIA CITY. Go on."Eranthe finally left the building and felt a bit paranoid as she walked downstairs.She didn't sense anything
Perhaps his behavior was just his way of expressing happiness.She bit her lip and reluctantly said, "Next time, please don't do that. I don't like it when people suddenly hug me."Even if she treated him like a little brother, he wasn't her real brother. They were both adults, and such behavior wasn't appropriate in public.Eranthe decided to say whatever came to mind, not wanting Jayden to misunderstand anything.Jayden's smile softened slightly. "Got it."With that, Eranthe turned and walked away, urging him to leave. "You should go now.""Okay," Jayden replied.Jayden saw that she insisted on watching him leave before turning away himself.Eranthe let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit puzzled by the situation.She looked at the bag of fruit in her hand and felt that she owed him something in return.As she climbed the stairs and entered the apartment, she didn't hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen. Inst
"Alright, same place."When he arrived at the bar's private room, Colin was sitting alone. With wounds on his lips, he was downing drink after drink without pause.Frank's arrival prompted the manager to send over several charming hostesses to liven up the atmosphere.Harold and the others also got wind of the gathering, making the scene lively.However, Colin just sat there, drowning his sorrows.Although Colin was known to frequent such gatherings, it was rare to see him in such a state of despair.He exuded a powerful aura even without saying a word. Despite his reluctance, bold female hosts dared to offer him drinks, which he accepted without even looking at them."What the hell are you doing?" Frank intervened, snatching the glass from him. "Talk to me. What's going on?"This time, Colin didn't want to talk, nor did he have the face to do so.What? Seeing another man holding his woman, and he can't even vent his ang
