Her grating voice was pleading with him, sounding utterly humiliated.Sean paused, his body turning taut. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”He berated her.The woman pinned under him turned her head around, her eyes looking hurt and headstrong. “Sean Stewart, your hobby has always been to humiliate me, no?” Her eyes filled with tears. “You want me to beg like a dog? I’ll do as you wish.”Was that not what he wanted?“No.” The man’s voice was hoarse, his eyes shining with a sharp pain. He l

Sean did not want to ask for help, but his heart was already flustered.Love really was not something you could earn by force.He sat on the edge of Jane’s bed. The calming aromatherapy was still wafting around the guestroom as he looked at the woman on the bed. There was no way for him to voice the exasperation in his eyes.He gave Elior a call. It was already late in the night, but Elior drowsily picked up anyway, listening carefully to everything Sean told him about his relationship with Jane.Sean’s deep voice sounded so lonely in the quiet of the night and the silence of the room.Elior heard him out and was silent for a moment.He did not really understand love either.However, he definitely understood Sean, his best friend.When he heard Sean explain what had happened that night, Elior could clearly sense that Sean was intentionally hiding something from him.Even so, he could still feel the man’s pain and bitterness just by hearing his deep voice over the phone.“All

What gave this homewrecker the courage to approach the rightful wife’s daughter to plead for mercy?What gave her father’s little lover the confidence to think that she, Jane, was easy to talk to!Jane looked at the beautiful woman kneeling in front of her and said with a

Jane was mentally prepared. Perhaps Ginnie would demand an exorbitant amount, or perhaps she would ask her to persuade Madam Dunn to draw in her claws. However, Ginnie’s request was one that she had never expected!She stopped talking, but this only made Ginnie more anxious. She clarified with Jane in a haste, "I don't want anything else, I’m serious. I just hope that Augustine can show up in public as a lawful child.“I don’t want a single cent from the Dunn family.“Returning Augustine to his rightful family is more important than anything else.
