3Jacob drove me to the south gate of the school and then returned to his company.Before he left, he told me, "Call me after class. If I don't answer, take a taxi home."I responded obediently and watched his car turn around and leave. I did not turn to the college until he disappeared from my sight.Since it was the first year of college, few students would dare skip class, so the classroom was full of people. Fortunately, my roommate had taken a seat for me.I sat down next to her and took out my textbook and phone from my bag. I saw a new message at the glance of the phone as usual.That was my dad."Lindsay, go home tonight when you are free. I have something to discuss with you."Ever since my mom passed away, he had never spoken to me in such a gentle and intimate tone that I had a momentary trance when I saw this message.When I came to my senses, I suddenly remembered what Zoila had said to Jacob last night.I gradually understood. Staring at my phone, I could not he

9As I was in a bad mood, I ordered a bottle of lychee wine during dinner.The bright pink liquid tasted sweet as well as it looked like in the glass bottle.I couldn't help but drink a lot and didn't expect it to be so strong. On the way back, a tipsy feeling gradually surrounded me. So I leaned against the back of the passenger seat, with my cheeks and ears burning.Jacob parked the car and came over to open the door for me.I moved my hand and looked up at him pitifully. "I am too weak to walk on my own."He smiled indulgently and reached out naturally to carry me out of the car.I put my face on his chest and heard his heartbeat gradually accelerate.He walked so steadily that I did not feel any jolt. I could only see the light change and then a warm scent came around me."Lily, we're home."I suddenly felt a lump in my throat. As soon as Jacob put me down, I threw myself into his arms and cried."I haven't had a home for a long time..." I clutched the fabric of his shir

13Donald Abbott roared angrily, "Jacob Cotton! What do you mean?""I mean, you have been a cuckold for so many years. You are really a genius and contributed a lot to my sister." Jacob sneered, and swept his eyes over Donald. "If I were you, I would do a DNA test to with that dead embryo and Wendy, who you had raised for five years.""Donald Abbott, you don't know you have asthenospermia, do you?"Donald's entire body froze there as if his vitality had been drained away in an instant, and even his lips were trembling. A moment later, he suddenly pushed Jacob away and rushed out of the ward.Zoila was lying on the hospital bed and looked at Jacob with her face ashen. "It is you. You designed everything to cheat me."Jacob came in slowly and walked to her bed step by step. The ward was quiet, and the only clear voice was made by his steps on the ground.One step after another, as if he was stepping on my heart.He stopped by Zoila's bed, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked dow

The night before my ideal lover came back, I told my young boyfriend that I wanted to break up with him.He was about to cry. "I don't want compensation. I just want to stay with you for a while longer."The bank card I handed over was rejected by him. After a moment of silence, I agreed.However, he went further. "You should wear the nightdress which I like best."At midnight, I lit a cigarette. Leaning against the headboard, I looked at him lazily. "What are you looking for?""The piece of clothing you have bought for me. I want to take it away as a souvenir."When he said this, his voice seemed to be shaking a little.I sighed and beckoned him. "Good boy, come here and let me kiss you."In fact, Ryan Harris was very obedient as well as very pure. He was almost the perfect lover that I had taught myself.If Henric Luther hadn't come back, I might be in a relationship with Ryan for a few more years.But there was no other way. Since my true boyfriend had returned, the substi

7I had intended to coax Henric, but not long after I got up, Jason called me."My car is waiting for you downstairs." He paused for a moment and said, "There are 20 minutes left for you to wash up. We must arrive at Hampton before 10 o'clock.""Got it."I hung up the phone and put on my clothes. Before I finished washing up, Henric had already heated up the milk and the sandwich. Looking at me, he was sitting at the dining table. It seemed he was asking me to make peace.He had always been cold and arrogant, so it was rare for him to give in. I sighed and walked over. I picked up the glass of milk and drank it all. I bent down and kissed him on the lips. The remaining milk had stained his lips. "There is something urgent in my company. See you this evening."Henric slowly wiped away the liquid with the finger pulp. "I'm also going out today."Although the Luthers had gone bankrupt, I knew he still had to deal with a lot of trivial matters. I nodded and said, "I see. If the Luth
