After arguing for so many years, Ruth knew what kind of person Pearl was.She could not look away from handsome guys.She was furious and wanted to scold Ruth to vent her anger, so she did not realize that someone was next to Ruth, but once she was reminded, her reaction proved Ruth’s guess. When Pearl saw Tom, she froze, then her expression softened and she started playing with her fingers.“Can I have your number, Mr. Acker? I’m sorry for offending you today. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!”Her cutesy voice was different from the angry roar earlier.Ruth tried hard to hold back her laughter.Tom did the same. The corners of his mouth twitched. After a while, he looked at Ruth. “Your friend is quite interesting.”“We’re not friends.”“She is not my friend!”They said in unison.When Ruth turned around and saw Pearl’s disgusted eyes, she shrugged indifferently. “I’ve got work, so you don’t need to worry about me interrupting you while you ask your Prince Charming o
The two people speaking were the children of Abel’s third uncle.Dillon Blakewell was a well-known playboy in the Imperial City. He had countless girlfriends, who never lasted long.Coral Blakewell was still a student and a spoiled child.Dillon and Coral were on bad terms, but they always united when it came to belittling Abel. They would pick on him whenever they got the chance.Apollo tried to lower his presence, but when he heard their conversation, he got worked up. “Abel’s wife is a decent girl. She is different from Dillon’s girlfriends who wish to marry into the Blakewell family.”Dillon had once paid the price for being a playboy. His ex-girlfriend went to his family gathering and embarrassed him.This incident was a disgrace to Dillon’s family, so the expression of everyone at the table darkened upon hearing this.“You!”When Dillon was about to refute, the door opened.Abel walked in.Everyone turned around in unison and looked behind him. Abel’s parents also looke
His eyes brightened, but his voice became even angrier. “Hah! You even put on a wedding ring! You’re only that careful when you’re deceiving your elders!”Abel put the glass down and stood up straight. “You should know that I won’t lie about things I don’t care about, Grandpa.”He caressed the wedding ring and spun it casually.“You!”“I’m indeed married, but it had nothing to do with your request. I got married because I wanted to. Something came up, so my wife couldn’t come. I apologize on her behalf. Other than that, I don’t think I’ve got anything else to apologize to you for.”Abel’s voice was clear and indifferent, and it amplified in the spacious venue.“If you think I’ve embarrassed the Blakewell family, you can take back my position as the head. However, I hope you won’t meddle in my private affairs.”Everyone was silent.They watched the scene in shock. It was hard to imagine Abel saying such a thing.Everyone was under the impression that he was taciturn and filial.
Abel liked Tom’s comments and took them as a compliment. He smiled and cut to the chase. “Is everything settled now?”“Of course! I’ve been busy until now and didn’t waste any time. Her grandfather… No, he is also your grandfather now! His condition is indeed complicated,” Tom said meaningfully.He would not jump to conclusions before the results came out.But based on his inference, the problem was definitely not as simple as an inherited disease.Abel’s eyes darkened. “I’ll leave it to you. If something happens, contact her immediately and let her opinion prevail,” he said seriously.Tom did not reply.He was surprised by Abel’s attitude. After a while, he laughed and said, “Are you serious? Why do you care about her so much?”“She is my wife. It’d be weirder if I cared about you instead of her.”“Tsk. Tsk. It is the first time I’ve seen you interested in a woman! Even though Miss Ruth is smart, she is not worthy of you. Why do you like her?”“Are you belittling my wife, Mr.
After Apollo sent Frank home, his parents asked him to return to the Blakewell family’s mansion.Beautifully packaged gift boxes were piled up into a hill in the living room.Behind the gifts, Mr. Blakewell and Mrs. Blakewell sat frozen on the couch.Mrs. Blakewell’s eyes were full of questions. “There is makeup here. It’s unlikely that he chose these gifts. He would never prepare something like this!”“They might have been prepared by his secretary,” Mr. Blackwell said. “In the past few years, have you ever received nutritional products prepared by the secretary? These ones even have specific effects.” Mrs. Blakewell took a box of beautifully packaged health supplements with a slightly complicated expression.Ruth did not know much about health supplements, but she had bought some for her grandfather. They were all heart supplements for the elderly.The gifts were all high-quality products, but they were too targeted. The applicable age was also very special.Mr. Blakewell lo
Abel was stunned, so he did not reply immediately.“You handpicked them, so how could they not like them?” he said with confidence.Then, he changed the subject. “How’s your grandfather? Is the transfer going well?”Ruth frowned slightly. It was true that she handpicked those gifts, but his ambiguous answer was a bit perfunctory.She wanted to question him further, but when he mentioned her grandfather, she became high-spirited and vividly described what had happened in the afternoon.Ruth was scheming, cunning, and confident when she was with Tom.But when she was with Abel, she was more like a kid who won a quarrel and happily asked for praise when she returned home.Abel was amused by this thought and raised his hand to caress her hair. “Good job! You’re smart!”Ruth stopped and stared at him.Abel realized that his action was too gentle and intimate and withdrew his hand quickly.“Something’s not right. How did you know about the transfer?” Ruth sounded puzzled. “When I w
Since he was in a good mood, Ruth continued to make it up to him. “I wanted to apologize to you for standing you up, but you came to pick me up! I didn’t have time to prepare anything!”Abel cocked an eyebrow. “Are you unhappy to see me?”“Of course not! It’s just that you messed up my plan. I wanted to bring flowers for you!”Abel said nothing. He looked at Ruth with a smile and waited for her to continue.Ruth picked up her bag, took out a bank card, and handed it to him. “But it’s not like I can do nothing about it. Keep it and spend it however you like!”Abel was at a loss for words.Kallan was shocked and thought. “You’re shameless, Mr. Blakewell! Don’t you feel bad about using Mrs. Blakewell’s money?”“My friend told me that men are like this: They like flowers and money,” Ruth said with a smile. She did not forget to put the blame on other people.She did not speak from experience since she had never given flowers or money to men. She had heard it from other people.Abe
Meanwhile, the instigator of all this knew nothing about these things and was sleeping soundly.……The filming of the Gate to the Heart started, and it had an impressive cast lineup.
