Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Couple Should Do Hope remained completely unaware of this .
At that moment , she lay in her room , unable to sleep .
After todays ordeal , Hope felt it was time to take action against Mr.
Newton and Louis , lest they continue to harass her .
Hope retrieved her phone , typed a code , and easily obtained the interview materials for new graduates at the Newton Group .
She found Richards resume , a young college student with an ordinary appearance , looking somewhat immature in his passport photo .
Only Hope knew that , in a year , Richard 1/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … +5 Points would be the hottest rising star in the business world , with a sharp eye for opportunities , decisive in action , and an extraordinary talent in real estate investment .
In her past life , Richard had successfully joined the Newton Group , using his remarkable talent and sharp intellect to rise above the competition and become Louiss most trusted right hand man .
This time , Hope intended to claim this valuable asset for herself ! She added Richards Twitter account and boldly extended an olive branch .
Richard , would you like to start your own company ? 2/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points Late at night , a company named Plan Hope was established , and a storm in the business world was about to unfold .
After transferring the money she had saved over the years from treating patients to Richard , Hope gazed at her bank balance , now reduced to a mere handful of digits , lost in deep thought .
In her previous life , she had cured countless people and built an extensive network of connections and wealth for the Newton Group .
This time , she intended to use those very connections and wealth to overthrow the Newton Groups dominance in the business world ! Having planned the next steps , Hope lay in 3/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points bed , still wide awake .
She couldnt sleep ; whenever she closed her eyes , she saw the tragic past of her previous life .
She feared that when she awoke , she would find herself in the same small corner room , weak and bedridden .
Since were already married , is it too much to ask my husband to sleep with me ? In the end , Hope climbed over Eastons wall and snuck into his bed .
In his groggy state , Easton felt a warm presence moving toward him and , assuming it was a dream , casually pulled the person into his arms and fell back asleep .
The next morning , Easton was startled by THE 4/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points the warmth on his chest .
Looking down , he saw the face of the sleeping girl .
Her hair cascaded like a waterfall , her skin fair and flawless , her lashes curved like butterfly wings , her small nose delicate and refined , her lips slightly parted , with a glimpse of her tiny , glistening tongue .
Easton swallowed involuntarily , his heart pounding in his chest , a wave of heat rushing through his body , igniting a feverish desire .
He reached out , intending to push her away , but his fingers couldnt resist gently caressing her smooth cheek , his gaze fixated on her cherry red lips .
Just as his finger brushed her lips , Hope stirred and groggily woke up .
Flustered , 5/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points Easton quickly moved his hand to her head , ruffling her dark , thick hair into a messy bun .
Dont mess with it , or Ill go bald … Hope muttered , shaking her head in protest .
Easton quickly withdrew his hand , awkward and uneasy , his tone flat , Your room is next door .
Since the last time he told Hope she could stay here , Easton had arranged for the guest room next door to be prepared , allowing Hope to move in whenever she liked .
Hope rubbed her eyes , yawning as she sat up .
Were already married ; do we still need to sleep separately ? You dont dislike me , do you ? Hope tilted 6/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points her head , studying his expression .
Easton lowered his gaze , not answering directly .
This isnt right ; we dont have an emotional foundation .
Feelings can be cultivated , cant they ? Were married , its only natural for us to sleep together ! Hope said this , though inwardly , she was silently mocking herself .
She had never imagined she would be so shameless ! She realized that sleeping with Easton alleviated her insomnia and decided that from now on , she would always sleep with him ! So , if I do what married couples should do , is that also perfectly natural ? Easton suddenly asked seriously .
7/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points Hope raised an eyebrow and shifted her gaze to Eastons lower body .
Is it still … functional ? And there , before her eyes , was a small mountain … Hope immediately looked up at the ceiling in shock , her face burning with embarrassment , her mind consumed by the image of the mountain .
So it was true men really do get morning erections ! Easton , embarrassed and irritated by her gaze , grabbed the blanket to cover his body .
I may be crippled , but Im not … Hope , mortified , covered her face .
I didnt check , how would I know ? 8/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co ….
+ 5 Points Well … you can take care of it yourself , right ? Ill go down for breakfast now ! Take your time ! No rush ! Hope said quickly and ran out the door , casting a glance at Eastons arm in a cast as she shut the door .
Her heart raced with worry .
He should be fine , right ? She hoped he wouldnt injure his other arm .
Downstairs , the table was set with breakfast , and the milk was still warm , but Hope looked around and found no one .
It seemed that the person named James was indeed very busy ! 9/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points Could he be a part time worker Easton hired ? Or just a delivery man ? Was Easton always alone at home ? Would he not get bored ? It seemed she would have to visit Easton more often .
While Hope was lost in thought , Easton arrived via the elevator .
She glanced at the half eaten bread in her hand .
Looking at Easton , she asked , Youre done already ? Eastons face darkened again .
I havent ! Hope then noticed the blanket covering 10/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points his legs and felt heat rise in her face .
After finishing her milk , she grabbed the bread and hurried out .
I have things to do today .
Ill leave now ! Hope ran out of the villa and took a taxi straight to the hospital .
Mr.
Hester , an important partner of the Newton Group , lived here ! At the hospital , the doctor worked all night and finally managed to wake Louis .
Mr.
Newton , who had been waiting outside the emergency room , was red eyed , exhausted , but couldnt hide his joy.
Louis , youre awake ! How do you feel ? Louis looked around in confusion , his mind 11/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points in turmoil .
Wasnt he dead ? He remembered that after Hopes death , Easton had ruthlessly suppressed the Newton Group .
Both he and his father couldnt hold on , and the company soon collapsed .
The police had come to investigate Hopes cause of death , and Sylvia , seeking to exonerate herself , had accused him of poisoning Hope ! The poisoned soup that killed Hope had been poured by him , and the fingerprints on the soup bowl had been wiped by him ! With Sylvias testimony , he was quickly imprisoned .
Former business rivals took advantage of the situation , bribing prison inmates to torment him , leaving him to suffer a fate worse than death in prison .
12/14 Chapter 8 : The Things a Married Co … + 5 Points Before his death sentence was carried out , Sylvia visited him in prison , mocking his foolishness and arrogance .
It turned out that when the construction site collapsed , he had been buried underground , falling into a deep coma , his life hanging by a thread .
