Lahat ng Kabanata ng Giving You the Love of a Lifetime: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

I left the room in a hurry. At this time, there were already many people gathered in the villa, clad in ceremonial black suits or black skirts and giving the deceased their utmost respect.When I found Summer Jacobs, she was sitting on the swing in the back garden. She was wearing a dignified black cheongsam with intricate dark embroidery. Her hair was swept up neatly, embellished with a small, elegant white flower that sat above her ear. As she stared blankly at the freshly-blooming peach blossoms on the trees, a dreadful lifelessness radiated from her gaze.With the passing breeze, the delicate flowers left the tree branches and fell on her. On her black dress, the bright petals were dazzling to the eyes, blinding even.Gently, I removed the petals from her hair and dress. At that moment, I felt the need to comfort her, but no suitable words came to mind. Any words I could have said seemed futile. After all, the man in the crystal coffin was the love of her life.After some thoug

Very evidently, Joseph Connor had won the favor of the Shaw family last night.Furthermore, Dixon Gregg had also previously shown strong support for him.In the eyes of the other Connor family members, Joseph Connor had secured resources from both the Shaw and Gregg families.Learning this, I made a bold guess. Someone in the Connor family had murdered him.However, this was still a baseless wild guess. As of now, there was no evidence to prove it.With that in mind, I asked my assistant to thoroughly investigate the Connor family and wait for a while before giving the findings to Summer Jacobs. After some thought, I added, "From now on, treat Summer as you would me. You must do your best to help her when she needs help. Chuck, she is my very important family member."He replied, "Yes, President Shaw."Having received my requests, the assistant continued to show the endless stream of guests to their seats. Looking at these people, I could not help but see the resemblance to my s

"Charles Connor.""He's from the Connor family?"Since when did the Connor family have such a powerful and influential man?!"Despite my burning questions, I did not ask my assistant anything more. Instead, I looked towards Joseph's tombstone. His black-and-white photo had just been pasted on. The words he had said to me the day before yesterday, full of expectation, surfaced in my head. "My status is too far away from Summer's. I can't allow my cowardly and inferior self to stand beside her beauty. Therefore, I'm going to leave her temporarily and come back to find her when I'm more successful. Hopefully, she'll still be there, at that time, waiting for me.At that time, Joseph had just arrived at Connor's house. While he was new to them, he was facing immense pressure as he had just lost a contract. However, he had made a concrete plan and worked hard with the hope of returning to her side. Alas, who could have imagined that fate would separate them for eternity that very night?!

"I just attended a funeral and I'm feeling like an emotional wreck."In the end, I chose to hide my deteriorating physical condition.Hearing that, Henry breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you are alright.""Brother, where's sister-in-law? Have you all rested?""She's playing outside with her friends." After a momentary silence, Henry suddenly said, "Dixon contacted me two days ago. He has sent a scientific research team over. All of them are internationally acclaimed experts with diverse and rich experience in cancer treatment! Carol, you must take good care of yourself."Those words stunned me. I never knew that Dixon cared about me so much.For goodness sake, did he remember our past?I promised him, "Alright, I will.""Good. I've got some things to settle so I've got to hang up first."Henry hung up the call. I sat on the bed in a daze as the words that Dixon had said looped in my ears: "Life is but a fleeting moment."Despite the hesitation lurking within my

"I love you thousands of times."This was the sweetest thing that Dixon had ever said to me.I knew that he was waiting for my response at this moment. I gripped my cell phone tightly with my fingers and couldn't say the words on the tip of my tongue.He was waiting for me patiently, and I was at a loss as to what to say. The dilemma was almost tearing me to pieces.I pursed my lips tightly and said, "You are being ridiculous."I didn't mean to say that, but it still hurt him. Dixon fell silent for a while then said, "Good night. Don't stay up too late. I will return to Wu City when my mother's illness is stabilized.""What's wrong with your mother?" I asked, trying to express my concern for her."The early stage of stomach cancer. She needs surgery."Cancer... It was cancer again.I covered my stomach with my hand and said softly, "It's easy to cure the early stage of stomach cancer. Don't worry too much.""Well, you must pay more attention to your health..." Dixon paused fo

He cursed me. "Caroline Shaw, you won't be able to live long."I copied his number and sent it to my assistant, asking him to investigate for me. Within ten minutes, he called me.I asked him nervously, "Did you find anything?"He replied, "President Shaw, this is an anonymous phone card. According to my survey in the service office, he purchased this card three days ago. He just used it to call you.""Can't you find any other information?" I asked."I can find out where this card was bought, but maybe someone else bought it for him. I need time to investigate.""Keep an eye on this matter."I reminded him, "He just called me and asked me to guess who he was. I thought it was a prank, but he called out my name and said that I wouldn't be able to live long... He knows I'm sick!""President Shaw, was it Andrew Shaw?"When the assistant mentioned this name, I remembered that there was such a man in my family, but I hadn't contacted him for a long time.Well, there had been no ne

Summer's words were shocking. I didn't know why she had suddenly come up with such an idea, so I asked her why she made this decision.Her eyes were wet and as red as rabbit's eyes. She closed her eyes and said firmly, "I'm going to find the truth for him, Carol. I don't believe it was an accident..."There was something fishy about Joseph's accident in the first place. How could he have just died that easily? Plus, the things my assistant had told me the day before yesterday...There was a possibility that someone had murdered him because of envy.Moreover, Summer definitely wanted to find out the truth. Although I had already speculated that she would investigate this so-called accident, I had not expected her to take this method.Although the two sons of the Connor family were not married, they were plain-looking, incompetent, and well over thirty years old.I asked in confusion, "Who do you want to marry?""Charles Connor."Suddenly, I recalled the notable man I had met yes

It made me happy and shy.He said in a low voice, "I miss you."I changed the subject and asked, "How's your mother doing? I have seen the weather forecast, and it is still snowing in Nanjing.""Yes, our town is full of snow and ice."I turned on the loudspeaker on my phone, put on a nightgown on the bed, and tried to say as blandly as possible, "It should be very beautiful.""Extremely beautiful," he agreed.I called him with a smile, "Dixon.""Hmm?""I miss you."Dixon fell silent.He didn't say anything else, nor did he hang up. In the end, I hung up and called my attending doctor in Wu City.I told him everything. After thinking for a while, he asked softly, "Mrs. Gregg, did anything happen to you recently?"When he had started to treat me, I had still been Dixon's wife, so he always called me Mrs. Gregg.I did not correct him, but said carefully, "My best friend's lover passed away. And I... I have been very confused these days. I don't know who I love. And there was

Various signs had shown that Dixon hadn't lost his memory, but I hadn't found any evidence until he spilled the beans."You pretended to lose your memory. Shame on you."Hearing this, Dixon smiled without saying anything. Through the window, I could see his full expression. He was so frank that he made me gnash my teeth in anger. But even if I knew that he had pretended to lose his memory, what could I do?I had just been fooled by him.I didn't want to go downstairs to open the door for him at all. Dixon threatened me indifferently. "You said that you missed me so much and I recorded it. If you don't let me in, I will send it to Lance."I was speechless.How could he be so shameless?!I went downstairs with grief and indignation in my heart to open the door for him. As soon as I opened the door of my villa, I saw a helicopter parked on the lawn.Wearing thin clothes, I stood in the cold spring breeze and satirized him. "What a rich man you are to take a helicopter to get here.

Dixon's eyes widened in shock when he heard me mention Gwen, and he promptly shook his head and said, "I never did anything with her.""Even during all those years of dating?"I only asked this out of curiosity. After all, everybody had a past, and not everything was worth investigating and paying attention to.Considering that, I then realized that my question had come too abruptly.I quickly changed my mind and said, "Take it as if I never asked."I had intended to simply brush the matter aside, but Dixon replied solemnly, "I first met Gwen not long after graduating from university. At that time, all my brothers had girlfriends, so I too wanted a pretty girlfriend in order not to lose to them! When I was together with Gwen, we really never did anything. It was not because I tried to abstain from sex, but rather that I simply had no interest in her. The two of us were together in name for a few years, until you appeared... Indeed, I should not have allowed you to misunderstand."
