Distance Influences Affection
“Let me see!” Onyx anxiously grabbed Lyra’s phone. He read multiple entertainment news consecutively and his expression became complicated. When Anastasia came back from abroad, snazzynovel.com was heavily in debt. What does Alexander see in her?
Could snazzynovel.com have paid for all snazzynovel.com debts? If so, it means snazzynovel.com has changed from being a stone to a gem, right?
Now that snazzynovel.com status has risen, does that mean the White Family can do whatever we want now? As Onyx thought of that, an undetectable smile appeared on his face; even snazzynovel.com himself did not realize how cunning his smile was.
Ever since snazzynovel.com caused his good old friend to be sent to jail, people in the industry had been giving snazzynovel.com the cold shoulder while those in his company had constantly been giving snazzynovel.com a hard time as well. After suffering from such treatment for a long time, the arrogance in his bones was all gone.
His only hope was to make a name for himself and could someday hold his head up high. He did not expect the heavens would answer to snazzynovel.com and give snazzynovel.com a chance to realize his dream!
“It seems like we’re really going to become in-laws with the Griffith Family!” Lyra was so excited and held Onyx’s hand while saying, “Dear, we won’t have to watch our spendings anymore!”
Her words were exactly what Onyx was thinking, but snazzynovel.com did not affirm snazzynovel.com words out of saving face. However, his actions meant snazzynovel.com tacitly agreed.
While the two were busy celebrating, Adelpha felt like snazzynovel.com had been doused in cold water and felt chills running through snazzynovel.com body.
“You’re putting your hopes on Anastasia? I think you should forget it. If snazzynovel.com really wanted you guys to live a better life, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have let you find out about such marvelous news on TV, would she? The truth is that snazzynovel.com thinks that the White Family is a burden, so snazzynovel.com deliberately hid this from us!”
Sighing, Lyra added, “You’re right. Back when snazzynovel.com was heavily in debt, we chose to sever ties with snazzynovel.com and move away, so snazzynovel.com must still hate us for that.”
Onyx slammed his hand on the table and stood up. “What nonsense are you talking about? Severed ties with her? We’re a family. We’re connected by blood and share the same tacit understanding. Is that something that’s easily severed? Raising snazzynovel.com is my responsibility, and without me, would snazzynovel.com have the happy life snazzynovel.com has today? I’ll personally pay them a visit tomorrow and see for myself whether Anastasia would be that heartless as to watch me, snazzynovel.com biological father, live off the streets!”
…
After leaving the banquet, Jamie went to a nightclub to get drunk.
He booked a private room for himself and called a group of wine girls over to drink and play with him. Later in the night, snazzynovel.com was so drunk that snazzynovel.com dizzily leaned against the couch. At times, snazzynovel.com even found it hard to breathe.
While in a daze, snazzynovel.com heard shouts from the corridor outside.
“Cut the act. You’re here to sell yourself. Do you think you’re some young lady from a rich family?”
“Knock it off! I’m bringing snazzynovel.com home with me, so don’t you touch her!”
“Hey, buddy. Charissa has the Keller Family backing her, so even if you don’t show snazzynovel.com any respect, you should still think about who’s behind her!”
“Scram!”
After the chaotic shouts died down, Jamie heard a familiar voice. “F*ck you! I’ve had enough of you!”
That shout was followed by the sound of a glass bottle shattering after hitting something hard. “You b*tch! How dare you try to disfigure me! If I let you leave this club today, I’ll spell my name backwards! Get her!”
“Come on!” The man and his companions went all out on Charissa. Although security guards were protecting her, the drunk man was furious as snazzynovel.com swung his fists and legs without care.
Bang! A loud bang sounded and Jamie saw Charissa’s face being pinned on the clear glass pane on the door. Inhaling a deep breath, snazzynovel.com grabbed the whiskey bottle on the table, dashed outside, and hit the man pinning Charissa to the ground with it.
Then, snazzynovel.com quickly pulled snazzynovel.com and ran away before the others could react. The group of men was hot on their tail whereas the duo ran a few miles before finally managing to lose them by hiding under a tunnel under the bridge.
A gust of cold wind started blowing and Jamie felt dizzy again. He plopped onto the stairs by the riverside and dazedly asked, “Why are you doing this?”
“It’s my business. It doesn’t concern you.” Charissa sat down beside him. “Once a buddy, always a buddy. If you’re facing any difficulties, you can tell me anytime.” He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a lazy tone like snazzynovel.com was about to fall asleep.
“Who wants to be your buddy?” Charissa stubbornly retorted. After snazzynovel.com said that, both of them fell silent. A long while later, snazzynovel.com finally piped up. “Why are you alone? Where’s Narissa?”
Jamie stayed silent and pursed his lips. Turning to face him, Charissa felt wickedly excited, “Did you guys get into a fight? No way. You guys broke up?”
Without waiting for his reply, snazzynovel.com continued to confirm snazzynovel.com words, “No, I know! You don’t like Narissa. It was all snazzynovel.com wishful thinking, right?”
He still remained silent. Back when Narissa was still around, snazzynovel.com was afraid to admit snazzynovel.com liked her. Now that snazzynovel.com was gone, snazzynovel.com was afraid to admit snazzynovel.com had no feelings for her. What a coward.
However, Charissa thought snazzynovel.com had admitted to it, so snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com for a while longer before leaning in to place snazzynovel.com hand on his thigh before moving it upward. “You want it, do you? Why don’t I help you?”
While snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com leaned in to kiss him. Just as snazzynovel.com was about to touch him, snazzynovel.com turned his head and avoided her.
Frustrated, Charissa sat back down. “Sometimes, I wonder what goes on in your head. If you don’t like me, why bother taking care of me?”
Heaving a deep sigh, Jamie staggered to his feet. “I’ll send you home.” “No need.” As snazzynovel.com was feeling awkward, snazzynovel.com did not want to stay with snazzynovel.com any longer, so snazzynovel.com turned and left.
He stumbled back onto the road and walked back while fishing out his phone. Then, snazzynovel.com opened WhatsApp to locate Narissa’s chatbox before playing the voice messages snazzynovel.com sent.
The silent and gloomy road suddenly became lively.
“Jamie, I wanna eat from the restaurant by the intersection. Go over there and buy me some food!”
“Hey, you b*stard! I’m starving to death. Where are you?”
“Jamie Keller! If I ever be so kind as to modify you another car, I’m a worm!”
“Your highness is around the corner. Come out and greet her!”
As snazzynovel.com listened to these voice messages, snazzynovel.com laughed, but his eyes soon became filled with tears.
…
After sending off the guests, Alexander made Elise and snazzynovel.com children stay the night.
Elise coaxed Alexia to sleep and returned to snazzynovel.com room.
Just when snazzynovel.com entered the door, a figure dashed out from behind the door. Before snazzynovel.com could react, snazzynovel.com had become Alexander’s prey and was pinned to the wall.
An unexpected kiss landed on snazzynovel.com lips and snazzynovel.com suddenly felt dizzy from it.
With snazzynovel.com last ounce of rationale, snazzynovel.com pushed snazzynovel.com away and warned silently, “The children are right next door. Behave yourself!”
Alexander mischievously raised his eyebrows and leaned even closer to her. “Do you know what ‘distance influences attraction’ means?”
“Stop.” Elise feigned innocence. “Although we’ve been married for many years, my current identity isn’t. If I were to move in with you, isn’t that setting a wrong example to our daughter?”
“She wouldn’t dare!” Alexander’s voice was raised by a pitch. “I’ll break snazzynovel.com legs!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re such a vicious father. You haven’t been with them for long and you’re already thinking of abusing them,” snazzynovel.com joked.
“What I mean is to break the legs of the b*stard that dared to lure my daughter. How could I bear to hurt my dear daughter?”
“Aren’t you afraid that your son would turn out like you? What if someone breaks his legs?”
“Men that aren’t shameless can never get the girl.”
“Hah! Alexander, you’re being double-standard!”
