The master bedroom on the second floor... the wind blowing in at night was still carrying some chill.
Katie walked over and closed the window, drew the curtains and prepared to take a shower that
Stopping in the middle of the bedroom.
I didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, but now that I've taken a closer look at it, it's a minimalist style that fits the man's temperament.
The main tone is off-white, supplemented by a small amount of brown embellishment, the wall gray tone stone decoration, an even line outlines the beauty of simplicity.
With her art professional's eyes, it is indeed from the master's hand.
Cotton bedding in plain colors, a soft wool rug, and a simple glass vase on the nightstand.
The vase is filled with a single white rose in bud, matching its surroundings.
It blended in and stood out.
As for the painting on the wall. A masterpiece, she recognized, it should fetch no less than eight figures at auction .....
In the master bedroom bathroom, Katie turned on the faucet, she cupped a handful of cold water and poured it over her face, there was a splash and the sound of the water running could be heard in the quiet air, the
"Clap, clap, clap."
She could feel her heart beating fast, was it nerves?
Raising her eyes, she looked into the water-soaked mirror, reflecting her face, blurred and distorted, she closed her eyes slightly, and asked herself in her mind.
"Has the decision been made to take a gamble ...."
Hesitant, unsure, uneasy, scared.
By the time she got out of the bathroom, Liam had already finished his shower in the other room.
Wearing black pajamas sitting against the bed, his hand flipping through his cell phone, refreshing short hair, warm face, the neckline of his shirt unbuttoned two buttons, revealing the shape of his collarbone.
V area in the light of the extraordinarily sexy and seductive, Katie was stunned, naturally averted her eyes, stood at the end of the bed hesitantly, and opened her mouth to say:
"I'm going to sleep in the guest room ."
Saying that, she walked towards the door.
After marriage the two had been separated, even if they hadn't explicitly shared a room.
But it is true that they have never slept together in the same bed until dawn.
Obviously, he'd been living in the master bedroom, and it was like he'd just barged in and interrupted.
Liam puts down his cell phone and calls out to her, asking.
"Stop right there."
"Are you a guest, just in the guest room? It's the middle of the night, you don't want everyone up and down Liam's house to know we're not getting along as a couple, do you?"
Katie had to admit that Liam did know her...
gently took her down with a simple sentence.
She needed to keep her position as Mrs. Liam until she got her shares back.
Katie's hand on the doorknob withdrew and
"What I told Victoria during the day was true, I'm willing to divorce you if you'll give me back my shares in KOALA."
After waiting for a moment, Liam didn't say anything, just looked at her indifferently, as if waiting for her to finish the rest of her sentence.
Katie added:
"Liam, although KOALA was established by my father, it was my maternal grandfather's family that invested the most in the early stages, it was an industry that belonged to my maternal family,"
"Victoria's mother's intervention not only killed my mother, but it is also possible that it was because of her traitorous behavior that she implicated the maternal grandfather's family that had been bound to KOALA,"
"So they went bankrupt, and even later on, because of their creditors' various reasons for them to meet an untimely end, and as Victoria's mother's daughter, what face does Victoria have to still take KOALA's shares, with that kidney of hers?"
"And you. What qualifications do you have, you harbored the murderer of my grandmother, you're just the same"
The more she said, the angrier she got, even the volume of her voice was unconsciously raised.
Liam was already a little angry because of her "divorce", but when he heard her questioning her, he finally suppressed his anger.
After hearing her question, he finally suppressed his anger.
The air pressure in the bedroom is really low, the woman's eyes cold stars, the man's gaze deep .....
"Divorce is not possible,"
The man didn't even think about it and rejected it in a deep voice.
"The reason for the murder of your maternal grandfather's family has not yet been investigated, do not jump to conclusions now..."
"As for why I have the face to take the shares? Getting married you don't forget that it was you who took the initiative to ask for it, your father's will clearly states that the shares can only be inherited if you get married, and your husband is accordingly eligible to inherit."
"Now that your maternal grandfather's family has no one, KAOLA has annexed the Chou family, you have not graduated yet, I as your husband to manage on your behalf, reasonable and legal, as for the shares in Victoria's hand, she is now recognized by the Chou family externally, grandpa's side in order to show that it is fair before he gave you the same shares..."
Said here, suddenly Liam and thought of what the corner of the mouth began to have a trace of ironic smile.
"Are you asking for a divorce for the sake of the shares or for the sake of someone else?"
Someone else?
Katie immediately thought of Ethan.
She frowned, her emotions hard to suppress
"Why did you bring up Ethan's brother when you were talking about the shares?"
Liam's face was calm, but only he knew what kind of rage he was suppressing.
Ethan's brother, he called him so affectionately, but Ethan is far away in Australia.
He wouldn't let go. They were destined to be strangers for the rest of their lives.
"Did I mention Ethan's name? Why are you so excited?"
Katie heard the sarcasm and gave an expressionless grunt.
Words failing her, she pushed the door open and was about to leave when suddenly a large hand folded over the top of her hand behind her and held her down, Liam embracing her tightly from behind, the more people she cares about, the more she knows that she's a stranger.
The more you care about someone, the more you know how easy it is to hurt them.
Liam thought of the relationship between the two of them had not been easy to ease a little, he began to rationalize the return, soften the tone of voice, "I apologize, I said the wrong thing.
"I apologize, I said the wrong thing, come back to bed."
Katie knows that this so-called apology of sincerity is only afraid that even less than one percent, but she is not a person who loves to take everything into account, in addition to their own intention to repair the relationship between the two.
She is always afraid of his KOALA controller's identity, today in the pear orchard she ridiculed Victoria, in fact, she is also afraid that Liam really fall in love with Victoria, she is not afraid of Victoria taking over this man.
She is not afraid of Victoria to take this man, she is afraid of Victoria to take away KOALA, she will never allow.
No more words to push him away, around the end of the bed, lifting the quilt to lie down, the action in one fell swoop, the
and with an expression that was already visibly unhappy.
Liam watched as she closed her eyes, then he turned off the light, leaving only a nightlight on, and lay down on the other side of the bed, his
handsome face lurking in the shadows.
Sharing the same bed again after two years, Katie was genuinely uncomfortable and kept moving to the side of the bed, the
The man watched her small movements coldly in the darkness of the night, until her breathing calmed down and there was no movement, then
he then gently eased himself closer to her body, taking in the warm scent of her body for a moment in silence, and
"Little Katie?"
The man's voice was small, and he didn't wait for a response from the other woman as
As he held her carefully in his arms, the scent of a snowy
The manly scent of pine wood fell on the nape of her neck, and Katie felt her whole body go numb, the
and her heart felt inexplicably like it was in her throat.
Liam's cool voice rang out in the dead of night.
"Katie? Little Katie..."
What was wrong with him? Calling her name over and over again in the middle of the night.
As if he knew she was pretending to be asleep, Liam propped himself up and propped his head over to look at her, the
He was looking straight at her, his hot gaze illuminating the little sleep she had left, and furtively feeling bad, she opened her eyes and looked straight at him.
Liam smiled all of a sudden, not really close, but the warmth was still on his face, and he whispered a suggestion that
"Can you change your name? Just Liam Katie, two words please?"
Katie shifted her head slightly to the side, and with confusion.
"Why the sudden name change?"
Liam looked at her, pursed his lips, flattened himself down next to her, looked up at the ceiling and said, ruefully
"Your name has words in it from Ethan's name,"
Katie turned on her side and squared her shoulders, saying
"It's the last name of my maternal grandfather's family."
There was a pause in her speech, and Katie went on to say
"Grandfather took it, not only as my mother's last name, but also because Katie's juniors are all taken from the day related or with a day bias, signifying the group of Katie's family and the daily progress."
Liam didn't say anything, even though the original intent of the name was irrelevant.
but he was still desperately mindful of it.
"You could change it to something else, you have him in your name, he has you in his, you, you have each other..."
The last sentence had a hint of condescension to it.
Katie explained a bunch of times, but she couldn't get it out of her head, so she blurted out.
"Well, don't you and Ethan have each other's names, too? Why don't you change your name?"
Liam snapped his head around to look over, eyes full of surprise, lips moving slightly without making a sound, and
seconds before abruptly twisting back around, rolling over, backing away from her, and
reached out and turned off the last of the nightlights.
All at once the room was dark.
Katie looked at the man who had fallen asleep at the operation, and silently turned her back and lay down.
Liam is full of remorse, can not stop the bad luck, and even swore secretly to change his last name.
How did it harmonize?
The genealogy starts with him.
When there was no Victoria, Katie was the fifth child in the family, the fifth child.
Because she was the youngest, she was often called Five.
Even when Victoria took over.
Katie's mother's family and Ethan's father's family is the same family name, the two families have been married for a long time, Yang Li and Ethan's mother, Aman or girlfriends, so the two families close relationship can be imagined.
So the two families were close, as you can imagine. Katie was taught by her grandmother when she was young, and later lived in Australia with her uncle's family for a long time.
So with Ethan is a childhood friend, but also in the eyes of adults from childhood to identify a pair ...
and they really were once an unmarried couple.
Liam thought that if he hadn't forced himself on them, they would have gotten married long ago, and the one who forces himself on them always has a weak heart, right?
I'm afraid of losing, but it seems to have been lost.
