"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

Yelun didn't seem to care at all, "It's alright. If you're coming home late, make sure to have Bruno pick you up.""I know, Dad." Lizzie nodded.After chatting for a while, the group headed to the restaurant.After dinner, Lizzie sat on the sofa in her room, lifting the hem of her nightgown and rubbing the bruise on her knee.Bruno walked out of the study and saw her sitting on the sofa, frowning, "Does it still hurt that much? Why did you pretend to be fine earlier?" His tone was indifferent, without much fluctuation.Upon hearing his voice, Lizzie quickly pulled her skirt to cover her legs, "No! It doesn't hurt!""Stubborn." Bruno didn't look at her again and went back into the study.Lizzie stared at the closed study door, "If he cares, why does he say such things?"She had decided to stay in the Kolo family's home and be a good lady of the house, but it seemed her husband wasn't appreciative.Her recent study schedule was packed. Lizzie had classes all day, took a shower, and fell

Lizzie propped herself up on the floor, got up, and closed the bathroom door again. She slipped off her dress and walked barefoot into the glass shower room next to it. She turned on the warm water and let it wash over her delicate skin, washing away his scent, the scent that lingered in her heart. She put on a set of pajamas and sat in front of the dressing table. She opened the drawer of the dressing table and looked at the ring that lay quietly in it. It was not that she didn't want to wear it, but this ring was not suitable for her at all. She glanced at the heart-shaped necklace next to it and took it out. "This necklace is perfect, but it doesn't belong to me anymore." She put the necklace back in the drawer and took out the ring. "The ring is not suitable, but I have to wear it now." She put the ring back on her ring finger and stared at the sparkling diamond between her fingers. But two tears fell unconsciously, dripping on the back of her hand.Bruno drove to the bar, where

Bruno finished some work in his office and slept in the company's exclusive lounge until dawn, then drove back to the villa.Lizzie opened her eyes when the sky brightened, feeling sore and numb all over from sleeping on the couch for a night. She looked around the cold room, he didn't come back after all.She picked up the remote from the floor and turned off the TV, then curled up on the couch again.When Bruno came in from outside, he saw Lizzie curled up on the couch, sleeping with her eyes closed. He opened the curtains, letting the sunlight into the room and brightening up the large living room.Then, Bruno walked to another single couch and sat down, lighting a cigarette and smoking it slowly.Lizzie was choked by the smoke and opened her eyes, seeing Bruno sitting on the couch. She quickly sat up and waved away the smoke in front of her, "Smoking too much is bad for your health.""You care about me." Bruno put out the cigarette butt and looked at Lizzie.Lizzie suddenly fe

Lizzie lowered her head, yes! He was right, if it wasn't for him marrying her, if it wasn't for the Kolo family giving money to the Jiang family, the Jiang family might have gone bankrupt long ago, even if she was forced, but, she did use him indeed."Nothing to say, then you have to listen to me. Unless you want the Jiang family to face the crisis of bankruptcy again. I think you should understand what I mean." Bruno approached her step by step, while Lizzie backed away step by step, not noticing that she had hit the edge of the flower bed by the road, her whole body fell backwards."Ah..." Lizzie lost her balance and screamed in fear. At the moment when her body was about to hit the ground, she was caught by a big hand. The next second, Lizzie was already in Bruno's arms."Lizzie, you can never escape me in this life." He said coldly in her ear.Lizzie looked up at him, could she never escape him in this life? No! There will be that day, she will leave him, leave this man's side."U
