All Chapters of Giving You the Love of a Lifetime: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Therefore, I had to drive Loraine to the Gregg family's house first.I did not get too near the house. I parked about 200 meters away. Loraine pouted while she got out of the car and said goodbye to us. I kept the smile on my face to answer her.She sighed and said, "Lance, bye."Lance lightly answered, "Okay."Loraine looked at him in disappointment and then at me, a trace of reluctance hard to detect in her eyes.I knew what she was thinking.After all, the two sitting in the car were...At least, I posed a threat to her in her eyes.Little girls really thought in a pretty obvious way.I smiled broadly. "Bye, Loraine."I started my car to leave without asking Lance for an address, but I vaguely remembered the complex I had driven him to last time.Because there was only Lance and me in the car, it got really quiet. Through the rearview mirror, I saw his eyes staring at mine. I frantically withdrew my gaze, hiding my fluster inside and asking, "Mr. Gu, do you have any upcom

My love was finally requited.The chaos and vortex in my heart had finally received his redemption, but now I did not have the courage to take a step forward.Yes, I did not have the courage.The man before me had clear eyes and my thoughts had nowhere to hide in front of him. Since a long time ago, he had known that I liked him.In the depths of my memory, I could never forget him saying, "Why do you keep following me?""Because... I like you."Because I liked him.Just then, he stood in front of me and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you willing to be with me?""I am, so desperately."Nine years ago, I had wanted that so much.However, now everything was too late.When I first decided to come back to Wu City, I had not been planning to be with him. I had only wanted to find him...To find him, who I really liked.I dropped my eyes and asked, "You like me?"He probably had not expected the question from me because he hesitated a little. Then, he said calmly, "Yes, you're t

Furthermore, he had said I was pathetic himself."Well, if he really pities me, then let it be."At least it was some kind of response.However, I had not accepted it.We walked for more than ten minutes, as if everything had been fine. I finally did not need to follow him or just look at his back.I pressed my lips together and brought myself to reluctantly say, "We won't have a future."Hearing that, he squeezed my hand and looked sideways at me with his somewhat thoughtful eyes. He raised the other hand to tousle my hair and comforted me. "I know what you're worried about, but if you're willing to stay with me, I'll handle it."I wanted to rub my face against his palm but I refrained from doing it."You can't handle it all.""Trust me, Caroline Shaw."His voice sounded resolute.This was the first time he had called me by my full name."Lance Gregg, I don't like you anymore."I refused him with that.He tightened her lips with something on the tip of his tongue, but he

My time was limited and the last thing I wanted was to live in hate. If he had not dealt with the Cook family and forced me to take over and then targeted the Shaw Corporations, I would not have been back in Wu City even now.First, it was already troublesome to take over the Shaw Corporations and would also waste my time. Now, he wanted us to give each other hell?!"Am I mad to do that?"I felt funny, looked at him, and said in ridicule, "You're really obsessed with me. Now you feel strange to me. If you keep treating me like this, I'll think you haven't forgotten me at all!"His face darkened. I reached out to pat his shoulder and remind him, "You said you loved me before you lost your memory. Don't tell me you remember nothing but the love between us? Hehe, do you think I'll buy it?"Hearing that, Dixon got so angry that he burst out laughing. He seized me by the throat and dragged me into his arms. I was forced to look up at him as I managed to smile, "Did I get it right?"Di

"Are those words from the bottom of your heart?"His question was shot out of the blue.I looked at him in bewilderment and asked, "What?"He lowered his voice and said, "Were you speaking the truth when you told Lance just now that you no longer liked him?""I thought that I had already replied to you just now," I uttered nonchalantly.Instead of flaring up, he continued calmly, "I hope that you can tell me... I earnestly wish that those words are true."I was speechless.Just a second ago, we were at each other's throats, but now we were conversing in a calm manner. Deep in my heart, I knew that he had always tolerated and accommodated me whenever he was with me.Dixon was trying his best to control his emotions.He took the car keys from my hand and opened the driver's door. "Let me take you home," he said.I had wanted to decline but was aware that I could not drive with my injured ankle. I silently agreed and sat inside without saying a word.It was already late when we

Dixon must have been in a good mood that day. No matter how I mocked or criticized him, he had been very tolerant of me.Just like now when I threw a sarcastic remark at him, instead of acting up, he asked me further, "Do you need me to help you find top-notch doctors from home and abroad?"I did not reply.I remained silent. Seeing that I was giving him the cold shoulder, he also did not continue.After a while, he left.He did not stick around shamelessly.I walked toward the full-length window. Through the glass, I saw Dixon standing below the streetlights in front of the villa. The lights had cast a long shadow over him, making him look lonely and sad.Why was Dixon giving me an illusion of sadness?I rested my forehead on the window and gazed at that man below. My heart was mixed with emotions, and I also could not understand why I had rejected Lance.Obviously, I loved him but could not help rejecting him. Those excuses used in the rejection were ridiculous. If I had tru

To make matters worse, I was in no position to love anyone in the current situation.I did not reply to Loraine's message and was not able to sleep after that. In the middle of the night, it started to rain in Wu City. This damp city had never truly dried up before, and the weather made it a depressing place.But I simply just liked it here.Here was where my parents' and the Shaw Corporations' roots were.I was only able to fall asleep at about 4 o'clock in the morning, and when I woke up the next day, my head was in a fog.I struggled to wake up, had my medicine, and struggled further to put on a golden dress.Summer had told me off before, saying that I was constantly dressing myself up too impeccably.She had even asked me, "Carol, don't you feel tired?"I was exhausted, but I was used to being exquisitely dressed.While spending the last three years ingratiating Dixon, I had lived a high life.When I wanted to disassociate myself from that life, I had realized that it ha

Joseph being present was indeed a surprise to me.It had never crossed my mind that I would meet him under these circumstances."Joseph... Is he a part of the Connor family?"Joseph nodded his head and asked, "We, the Connors, are keen on this contract. Can President Shaw let us have it?"Joseph had already openly stated his wish for the Shaw Corporation to let them have the contract. His voice shook as he spoke. The contract seemed to be of utmost importance to him.I turned my head and asked Wendy curiously, "Why are you discussing this with the Shaw Corporation again when you had rescinded the contract with us at the last minute?"Before Wendy could reply, Jennifer blurted out, "It was your assistant who had made arrangements to meet us."I stole a quick glance at that irritating woman. "Given her age, where are her basic manners?"Or was it that she did not even give a hoot that I had been picking on her deliberately?I replied coldly, "But the Yale family had agreed to me

"Caroline Shaw, are you not thinking too highly of yourself?"Jennifer was fuming mad. I was also stunned, as I had not seen such a weird reaction from anyone after being in business for so long.I had also never met with a company that had simply rescinded a contract on a whim, without providing any explanation.They simply treated my intellect like dirt on the floor.I could not be bothered with Jennifer and just stared at Wendy while I spoke. "The Shaw family in Wu City, the Folk family in Tong City, the Cook family in S City... No matter which city you intend to expand into, as long as I don't agree, your Yale family will not be able to have any business there, even if the Gregg family helps you! Dixon Gregg is a businessman and will only engage in businesses in which there are significant benefits."Wendy tried to maintain a calm face and asked, "Are you on close terms with the Cook and Folk families?"I replied unhurriedly, "At least they are not close to you."I was obvio

Jennifer was a rather insignificant member of the Yale family. Often, her words went unheard or unnoticed.I had always ignored her. Once Wendy had rebuked her with a few sentences, she would no longer dare to speak.In my heart, I could not understand why the Yale family had signed a contract with the Shaw family, only to break it later on.Could it be that they were going after the family to target me?As I thought of this point, I glanced at Dixon.He had always known that I was someone who was unwilling to admit defeat. This time, he had dangled the bait of the Yale family in front of me, tempting and teasing me before taking it away. Dixon had indeed taken much effort to create such a ploy.What's more, all this was done just to coerce me into spending a day with him.This man was truly admirable in a reckless way.Seeing that the situation was unlikely to change, Joseph prepared to take his leave with an expression of silent regret.After he had gone through the door, I
