Chapter 16868 Theobald didn’t have many WhatsApp friends either, so he soon saw Marguerite’s Facebook post. He subconsciously fiddled with the rosary beads on his right wrist. “Who could have sent this? It’s so hard to guess p> She had posted it right next to Anna’s gift, which meant she

Chapter 16767 The knock was soft, just two taps. Knock. Knock. But it was enough to make Marguerite nearly roll off the bed in fright. She didn’t need to guess who was knocking on her door at this hour. There was no one else in the villa. A cold sweat

Chapter 16666 “Is Mr. Spencer feeling any better today?” Theobald asked as Marguerite got into the car. “He looks much better,” she replied, fastening her seatbelt with her delicate, fair hand. She really was busy today. She was going to pick up Jenny from the hospital. “That’s good.” Theobald turned

Chapter 16565 This was good enough. Being able to sleep in the same room with her for one night was already more than he could have hoped for. Stella was even sleeping on the sofa for his sake. What had he ever done to deserve such kindness? He had to

Chapter 16464 The rain continued its gentle patter outside. The wind seemed to have picked up, sending raindrops tapping against the windowpane. But at that moment, George heard none of it. His world had gone completely silent, his mind a total blank. His entire body was rigid, as if frozen

Chapter 16363 Outside, the rain continued its soft patter, accompanied by the rustle of wind through the leaves. The man’s voice was deep and pleasant. Carried on the sounds of the wind and rain, it reached Marguerite’s ears like a feather, tickling her. This time, she heard him crystal clear.

Chapter 16262 His breathing hitched, his chest rising and falling rapidly as a dark intensity filled his eyes. If she really wanted to watch over him while he slept… should he say no? “Of course I should say no! This is completely inappropriate p> But an opportunity like this would

Chapter 16161 The morning had been sunny, but by afternoon, the sky had turned overcast. Now, dark clouds gathered, promising rain. The air was thick and heavy. The private doctor, a slightly older man, finished his long explanation. Marguerite’s brow furrowed, and she pointed at herself. “Huh? Me p> Seeing

Chapter 16060 I hope Stella hasn’t lost all interest in my body, George thought in a panic. He looked at Aaron. “You all should go. I’d like to sleep a little longer p> Downstairs, the butler was nowhere to be seen, presumably still dealing with his “burst appendix p> “He’s

Chapter 15959 Marguerite burst into George’s room. Their rooms were right next to each other, but she had never been inside his before. She opened the door and saw the tall, slender man lying flat on his back in bed. A white comforter was pulled up to his chest, and

Chapter 15858 “What? Mr. Spencer is dying?” Aaron cried out in shock, dropping the fish he was holding. Marguerite had gotten out of the car first, while Theobald and Aaron were getting things from the trunk. Now, both of them were staring at the butler with wide eyes. The butler’s

Chapter 15757 But seeing the students’ bright, happy faces made him feel like it was the most meaningful job in the world. In the principal’s office at Pinecrest High, the principal’s eye twitched as he reviewed Aaron’s file. This was the troublemaker from Westside High who had knocked out the

Chapter 15656 About an hour later, the black Bentley pulled up to the gates of Pinecrest High. Outside vehicles were not allowed on campus; visitors had to sign in. The security guard, Mr. Frank, walked over. “Hello, what’s your business at Pinecrest High p> Theobald had graduated from Pinecrest and

Chapter 15555 The handsome man looked a little better today, but not by much. The dark circles under his eyes were prominent. “It’s fine. I’m just making some porridge. It doesn’t require much use of my hand. Would you like some?” His voice was also a bit hoarse. Today he

Chapter 15454 Perhaps it was the intimate atmosphere of the evening, or perhaps it was the dawning realization that he wasn’t entirely without his charms. The self-control he usually maintained began to crumble, and his true nature started to emerge. A cool night breeze drifted in from the third-floor balcony,

Chapter 15353 He’d ask him when he had the chance. His left hand grazed the cool, black prayer beads on his right wrist. Theobald typed: [What show? I’ll check it out p> Marguerite rolled her eyes. She replied: [It’s a show only for cool girls. Not for you. You are

Chapter 15252 In the steamy bathroom, the girl’s words reached George’s ears. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes. “Hmm p> Marguerite realized what she had just said. Her back, which had been bent, felt like it was about to snap. Stupid mouth, why did you have to say

Chapter 15151 The birth of her and her three brothers had been no accident. “Okay, that works. You go on up, I’ll be there in a minute p> Marguerite, who also smelled faintly of Cajun food, ran back to her bedroom for a quick shower. She changed into her pajamas

Chapter 15050 Her question hung in the air, followed by a few seconds of charged silence. The vast villa was so quiet you could hear the wind rustling outside. “It’s fine. I can manage on my own p> George broke the silence, pushing down the dark, frantic thoughts that surged

Chapter 14949 Theobald’s throat was dry as he stared at Aaron. Marguerite patted his shoulder. “It’s all in the past. If you’re really that upset, just deposit a couple million into Aaron’s account. He’d be thrilled. And while you’re at it, you can send some my way, too p> The
