Mari frolicked over to the snowman, and Coco yfully nudged it over.
She picked <b>up </b>the big snowball, tiptoed, and reattached the “head” Coco, wagging his tail excitedly, circled around the pretty girl, even rolling <b>around </b>at her feet. “Coco, aren’t you cold? I knit you a sweater someday!”
“Woof”
Coco seemed to understand and wagged his tail excitedly. He pounced on Mari, licking her soft cheeks.
“Ha ha ha, that tickles! Coco, stop messing around Mari was knocked to the ground by Coco, and the two of them rolled around in the snow
Jareth watched this rare scene of happiness and warmth, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
He had thought that he could never have such a simple and happy life.
But Mani had given him that.
He had what other men had
“Mr. Jareth, I never thought that Coco, who used to bite people, could get along so well with Ms. Mani Lily walked over and said with a smile. “Because he’s smitten!”
Lily muttered something about a dog being like its owner
Jareth watched as Coco pounced on Mari, and the more he watched, the more his heart ached, the more he craved a dog
Damn, was he actually jealous of a dog?
“Coco! Go cool off somewhere else!”
Jareth roared and strode over, helping Mani, coated in snow, to her feet.
“It’s cold on the ground, and you’re a girl. You could catch a cold” He bent over and brushed the spow off her.
“Thank you, Jareth.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Jareth looked deeply into her charming eyes, his hot breath sprinkling <b>on </b>her flushed cheeks, “Mari, you’re important to me, and I’m happy to be with you. I should be the one thanking you.”
“But, but I didn’t do anything” Mari was bewildered
“You’ve done a lot.”
Jareth grasped her delicate, frozen hands, rubbing them with his warm palms, holding them, and breathing on them.
“Come on, get into my arms.
He opened his ck coat to her, and she obediently snuggled into his embrace
She was enveloped in a warm masculine scent, making her feel sofortable that she closed her eyes and snuggled closer to him.
Suddenly, the fire within Jareth started to re up again, his eyes gradually turning a shade of red.
“Mani.<b>” </b>
“Hmm?” Mani’s soft voice was muffled.
“From now on, you can only act this way with me!
Jareth looked at her with intense eyes, his voice husky. “If you act like this with others, I’ll get angry. And I can be very scary when I’m angry.”
“How scary?” Mari was a bit nervous, her eyes flickering
Jareth’s eyes were full of affection, his face close to hers, his l*ps almost touching her soft l*ps, “Very scary, want to try? Hmm?”
Man shook her head rapidly, her heart racing.
“Then I understand. I’ll only act like this with you. Please don’t get angry, okay?”
These days, Jureth had been so good to her, buying her many beautiful clothes that she had only seen on her sister before. She never had any of her own.
The food here was delicious. Although not as good as her sister inw’s, it was still great.
Moreover, Jareth would help her dry her hair, feed her, and even sleep in the same bed with her
Just sleeping nothing else.
Jareth pampered her, cared for her, she didn’t want to be so ungrateful as to make him angry
“Good girl”
Her big watery eyes shone like stars, and Jareth couldn’t help but want to k*ss her Suddenly, he realized something and regretted it so much that he wanted to p himself! Was it this what they called a sl*ppery slope?
But he really, really wished this girl could stay with him forever.
He was thinking of her marrying someone else being held and k*ssed by another man bearing another man’s child.
Jareth felt as if his heart was being squeezed, like a blunt krufe <b>was </b>scraping against it
“Mr Jareth! Pleasee over Suddenly. Lily received a call and quickly summoned hum
“Okay”
Jareth walked over to Lily and asked, “What’s up?
Lily nced at Mani and lowered her voice. “I <b>just </b>received a call from Mi. Thaddeus secretary, Gordon He said Mr. Thaddeus‘ injuries have worsened”
“What did you say? Jareth was taken aback and raised his voice
Mari looked over in confusion
“Gordon didn’t go into details. He just said Mr. Thaddeus is now recuperating in his private vi, and hasn’t told anyone. Gordon felt it necessary to secretly contact me and asked you to go over and see him.”
“I see, Lily, prepare the car. We’re leaving now!”
Jareth didn’t want Mari to worry, so he didn’t tell her. He just said he had something to do and might not be back tonight, and asked her to go to bed first.
“I’ll wait for you toe back, then I’ll go to sleep” Mari walked him to the door.
She didn’t say it, but her eyes were full of reluctance
Jareth felt warm in his heart. He gave her a light smile and then ordered the maid, Be, “Take good care of Ms. Mari”
Just as Jareth’s car left, three luxury cars that were supposed to escort Edith back to the Fairhaven mansion pulled up in front of the vi
“Miss Edith, this is the ce.” Manny said in a low voice
“All for that little tramp, my brother is really genemus. He prepared such arge house. Did he think it would be their marriage house? Edith stared at the beautiful white walls and green roof of the vi, trembling with anger.
“Please calm down, Miss Edith. Everyone in Elmsworth knows what kind of man Mr. Jareth is.”
Manny tried to soothe Edith in a warm voice, “Mr. Jareth has never shown genuine affection to any woman. I’ve seen it all these years. He’s probably just infatuated with Miss Mari for a few days. That’s all
“You know nothing! This time it’s different! He’s my brother, can’t I see it?”
Edith was so angry that her face turned red as a beet, “My brother is bewitched by that foolish and shameless woman, Mari. He used to be a yboy but suddenly he’s devoted to one woman! He’spletely spellbound
He’s not even afraid that having a child with that stupid woman would affect our Fairhaven family’s superior genes!
Manny dared not speak
“Anyway, I will never let that idiot be my sister–inw! It’s either her death or mine!”
Edith angrily opened the car door. Seeing that Manny wasn’t moving, she asked curiously, “Aren’t youing with me?”
Tm sorry. Miss Edith. After all, I am Mr. Jareth’s man. It’s not appropriate for me to show up.” Manny looked embarrassed.
“Fine, I get it. I never tell anyone about your help, but you also have to help me keep an eye on my brother’s actions in the future!”
Edith’s eyes had <b>a </b>gloomy look that did not match her appearance, “If you do well, I will not treat you badly”
Manny quickly shook his head, a loyal look on his face, I’m willing to work for you!”
Edith got out of the car and mmed the car door, muttering under her breath, “Hmph, how dare that girl. If it weren’t for you being somewhat useful, even breathing the same air as you would make me sick.”
Miss Edith, along with a few b*dyguards and her female secretary, knocked on the vi door with an imposing demeanor.
Be immediately ran out. Seeing Edith, her expression froze and her voice was panicked, “Miss Edith, why are you here?” “Is Jareth inside?”
Seeing Be, who had been sent to serve Mari, Edith felt her rage ble
“Mr. Jareth isn’t here.” Be was obviously a bit flustered.
“Then what about that shameless Mari, she must be inside, right?”
“Miss Edith, Mr. Jareth has already given the order, without his permission, no one is allowed to enter the vi” Although Be was panicked, she was still loyal and guarded
the door
“Be, you’ve been with our Fairhaven family for over a decade. If you don’t let me in, your dignity can’t be saved” Edith threatened.
Tm sorry, I only listen to Mr. Jareth. Miss Edith, please go back.”
“Ah!”
Edith screamed like a madwoman and kicked the door, “Break the door open!”
in the end, the door was broken open by the b*dyguards, and Be <b>was </b>also restrained by them.
Edith led her secretary into the living room with a murderous look
“Man! You wretch”
At this moment, Mani <b>was </b>sitting on the sofa, watching cartoons and ying with her pet dog.
When she saw Edith suddenly appear, her blood froze, her face went pale, and she quickly curled up in a corner of the sofa, hugging her head.
“Don’t hit me
“You deserve it! How dare you seduce my brother? I kill you!”
Edith rushed over, cursing and swearing her left hand grabbing Mari’s hair and her right hand pping Mans face hard
If Jareth were here, she would not dare to hit anyone
Unfortunately, Jareth was not here, so she could vent her resentment freely!
“Um
Mani<b>, </b>whose ear injury had just healed, suffered a heavy blow again, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat!
“Drag this disgusting wretch out! This is my brother’s house, it’s my house, and I won’t allow her to appear here!”
At Edin’smand, the secretary immediately took action, grabiting Man’s arm and dragging her nut
“Woof”
Seeing Man being bullied Coco became furious and pounced on the secretary, biting her armi
“Ah! Let go! Let go! The secretary screamed in pain, releasing her grip on Mani
Edith was also startled and retreated
The secretary kicked and stomped at the dog, but it just wouldn’t let go!
“Don’t hit him” Mari hugged her dog, using her <b>frail </b>b*dy to protect it
Edith, her eyes bloodshot, took advantage of the chaos to kick Mari again.
“Edith‘
A sharp frosty voice suddenly pierced Edith’s heart. She hadn’t even had time to retract her foot when she was caught red–handed She stiffly turned her head, her trembling heart almost choking her!
“Jareth.”
Jareth stood there like a sword, emanating a hellish icy anger. His handsome face turned from white to red, then from red to ck. His chest rose and fell dramatically, his eyes filled with a furious torrent.
Mari didn’t know he hade, she was still hugging Coco, her eyes closed tightly, a pitiful trembling bundle.
The secretary’s vision went ck, she didn’t even care about the pain in her arm. She was so frightened that she was shivering!
Who could have imagined that Jareth, who had supposedly left, woulde <b>back </b>at this moment!
“Edith, did you hit Mani?” Jareth saw Mari’s red and swollen face, his eyes narrowed, and he advanced step by step
Edith shivered violently!
She had never seen Jareth’s eyes like this, it <b>was </b>simply terrifying!
But now that things hade to this, she had nothing to justify Anyway, she was Jareth’s sister, the sister he had pampered since childhood.
Even if Jareth liked Mari so much, would he do anything to his own sister? In his heart, hadn’t family always been more important than anything?
“Yes! I did it! Jareth, you’ve gone too far! You’ve disappointed me and hurt me!”
Edith cried and screamed. “You sent me to Aetheria, you didn’t care for so long, you didn’t even make one phone call! So you were here with this wretch! You’d even abandon your own sister for her, Jareth! How could you?”
The sound of a harsh p echoed through the entire living room before her sentence could finish.
Unbelievably, Jareth, his face void of any expression, had pped Edith,
Edith’s head swung to the side from the impact, her pale and delicate cheek immediately swelling a shameful red handprint branding her skin. A man’s strength was not to be underestimated.
It was excruciating.
With that p, not only did Edith’s face swell, but her heart shattered into pieces.
Just then, Lily walked in<b>, </b>taken aback by the scene before her.
In Elmsworth, it was well–known that Jareth, the eldest son of the prestigious Fairhaven family, was infamously doting on his sister
She never would have imagined that she would witness such a scene in her lifetime. It was truly shocking
“Edith, I’m starting to question if this woman standing before me, d in this skin but harboring such a dark and cruel heart, is truly my sister,” Jareth didn’t spare Edith another nce. Instead, he reached out to Mari, pulling her into his arm protectively “Or perhaps, I’ve spoiled you rotten. You’re no longer the innocent little girl you once were. You’re no longer my sister”
