For some reason, Jeremy was a little irked with their relationship. He intentionally spoke to Penny in a tone that was more gentle than usual. "Penny, you must be scared. I'll take you to the hospital after you get out of there. You don't look too good. Do you want me to get you some medicine?"Jeremy was so thoughtful and caring that Penny could not bring herself to brush off his kindness.After all, she had laid it all out. Jeremy would not dare try to court her anymore and even had to keep her secret."Mr. Tate, I'm fine."Caleb became more withdrawn and kept quiet throughout their interaction.Penny was the first to walk out when the elevator doors opened.Caleb followed closely behind her and did not stop as he passed Jeremy.Jeremy walked past him to go straight to Penny. "Look at you! You look so pale and yet you say that you're fine."Penny pursed her lips as she was unsure why he was suddenly acting like this.Caleb stood on the side and had a slight frown on his
Willow tensed up even more.She had met Caleb a long time ago. At that time, he stood among the crowd and was talking to someone. She noticed his outstanding features, especially his eyes that shone bright like the sun and his tall nose. His tailored suit fit him perfectly, making him look almost not human. After so many years, she finally had the chance to stand in front of him for the first time. She was so nervous that she was trembling all over.Willow has had a crush on Caleb for more than three years.She found out about his name from Financial Times.Eventually, he somehow became her brother-in-law, but it did not matter to Willow as she knew that he and Penny would get divorced sooner or later.Caleb glanced at her and then looked away."What do you want?"Willow's cheeks were red like roses. She clenched her hands in front of her anxiously."I heard that you're here, so I..."Caleb's expression turned cold. "Are you stalking me?"The admiration in her gaze was too
Penny waited at the hospital all night to make sure Zane was fine but did not expect to be thrown such a question.She pursed her lips tightly, her heart in pain. She was about to give him a piece of her mind when she heard Zane cough a few more times.He was coughing hard. Penny grabbed some tissues, handed them to him, and saw the blood on the tissues.Zane saw it too. He was a little surprised, his brows furrowed.He did not take it to heart and assumed that it was because he was too angry."Penny, I know you don't like Caleb. Did you have a boyfriend when you were studying at Imperial University?"Penny did not answer him. All she could think about was the blood on the tissue.She asked the doctor to hide the news from Zane. As such, Zane assumed that he would return to work soon.Zane felt slightly remorseful when she did not respond to him."I know that I’m too greedy. I built the company brick by brick, so it's hard for me to let go and that's why I asked you to marry C
She was worried that she would offend Caleb, so she turned sideways when she sneezed, her shoulders shuddering slightly. Her face looked paler because she was drenched by the rain. Her hair drooped against her cheeks, and her eyelashes were covered with droplets of water.Moreover, she did not have a lot of layers on. The clothes were tightly attached to her body and outlined her slender figure.Penny rubbed her welled-up eyes and asked politely when she saw that Caleb's car was still there."Mr. Fergerson, are you working late?"Caleb was indeed working overtime. There was a banquet at Fergerson Mansion tomorrow night that he had to attend, so he brought forward a meeting and it just ended.He thought that Penny would ask if she could get in the car. After all, it was not easy to get a taxi at the intersection they were at, and she did not have a bag or a phone with her.However, the car had stopped by the side for two minutes and the traffic behind kept honking. He did not sp
The smell almost made her gag.She went downstairs and saw Susan sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.Susan had been taking good care of herself even at her age. Back then, Zane was well established and she already had Asher, but that did not stop her from using her beauty to charm Zane, who ended up marrying her.Back then, her eyes were sparkling, and she still had some charm left in her. Penny frowned.She wanted to ask Susan why she was not at the hospital, but she realized that Zane would not say anything if Susan wanted to rest at home out of his love for her. As such, she kept it to herself and opened the door in a swift motion.A man was standing outside the door. Her pupils shrank, and she experienced a gut-wrenching feeling in her stomach.It was Asher.Asher wore a suit and looked like he just came back from the office. His gaze immediately focused on her curvy figure.However, he suppressed himself and greeted Penny with a smile."Penny, you’re back."
Penny did not expect any response from Caleb. She went to take a shower after she sent the message.After she got dressed and came out of the bathroom, she saw that the 10,000 dollars was refunded but Caleb did not say anything.Penny frowned. ‘Does this mean that he doesn't need me to pay him back?’She knew that Caleb was well to do, but he had been keeping her at arm’s length.To be precise, they were indifferent toward each other. Their relationship was not worth 10,000 dollars.She could not figure out what was in Caleb's mind. The meal they had together was still fresh in her memory.She took a photo of the spot where the umbrella was torn and sent it to him.Then, she urged the agent to check in with the bank and get them to transfer the funds as soon as possible. She wanted to move out of Dawn Haven Villa as it was not plausible for her to keep avoiding the other party.When he found out about her identity tomorrow night, he would probably be disgusted and desperately w
‘We haven’t copulated in our three years of marriage, but I found her sex toy at home.’He had nothing to say about it but thought that she could have placed it in a less obvious spot...Caleb thought of Willow’s face, and his brows furrowed while a hint of annoyance flashed across his eyes. Nonetheless, he had to carry on with the ‘marriage’ because of Sir Fergerson.Caleb had calmed down, so he turned on the computer beside him and continued working.Penny still was not aware that Caleb had misunderstood the facial massager she bought. She was worrying about finding a new construction team and the banquet dinner tomorrow night.She took out her phone. Caleb had previously messaged her on her private number to ask her to meet at the Fergerson Estate.Although she only saw the message much later and they did not manage to meet, he still had her private number.She was going to use her private number to lull Caleb.Penny thought about what to write for a long time before she s
"Ms. Sullivan, is something missing?"Lucy was a little worried and wanted to help her look for it."It's alright. It's just that someone flipped through my book."Lucy breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that and went back downstairs to continue to cook.Penny held the gift box and opened it. She saw a gorgeous emerald bracelet inside.Since it was a gift from Sir Fergerson, it must be very expensive.Out of politeness, Penny took out her phone and quickly called Sir Fergerson.As soon as the call was connected, she heard Sir Fergerson coughing from the other end."Penny, is your dad feeling better?"Sir Fergerson was kind to her, so Penny felt guilty when she thought of how she had lied to him about having a baby and was hiding the fact that she had signed an agreement with Caleb in private."Grandpa, my dad is doing much better. Thank you for the gift. It's so precious.""I asked Caleb to visit your dad. I wonder if he did so?"Sir Fergerson was trying to probe to s
