Bella saw Kevin being so ferocious and knew that he would not be satisfied with just a proper do-over, and once the desire was set on fire, it was uncontrollable intense intercourse.
“Kevin, you sober up… more or less sober.”
Kevin froze for a moment and stretched out his arms around Bella’s waist, “I’m sober now.”
Kevin replied with certainty while nibbling on her neck.
“You’re going to be a bad example for the kids…”
“They’re small as a palm, and that’s too precocious to be taught.”
Bella shuddered and groaned with difficulty, and also sobered up at once. Knowing that this would not work, Bella bit her lips and deliberately said, “Oops, my stomach hurts.”
It worked so well. Kevin buried his head in her chest but he suddenly looked up and asked in alarm, “Where does it hurt?”
“Here.”
Bella pointed noisily to her right abdomen.
Kevin was so nervous about the babies in her belly. When Kevin heard Bella cry out that her stomach hurt, his nerves were stretched and he leaned over her belly, reassuring, “It’s okay, it’s okay. The babies must have kicked you inadvertently.”
Bella glared at him and laughed indifferently, “A child the size of a palm can kick people?”
“Then is it that you are too sensitive? It’s all in the mind, right?”
“No, it really hurts.”
Kevin was very chagrined, “Hey, forget it, I’m not touching you. Anyway, when I touch you, you will hurt. It hurts where I touch you.”
Bella suppressed a smile, “Do you want to take a cool shower?”
“Why not? It’s like I’m being pushed into a fire right now!”
Disheveled, Kevin went straight into the bathroom, and soon the sound of him cooling down was heard in the shower.
After about ten minutes, Kevin came out of the shower and said to Bella, who was reading a magazine on the bed, “Come here, I want to show you something.”
“What?”
Bella jumped out of bed curiously, and her stomach didn’t hurt anymore.
Kevin took out a pair of rolled paintings from his suitcase on a business trip, ripped open the middle rope, and showed a magnificent and spectacular landscape painting.
“Wow, it’s magnificent…”
Bella exclaimed and looked askance at the seal at the end of the painting, “This should be Chang Dai-Chien’s real work, right?”
“Yes, you have good taste.”
Kevin nodded, “Do you know what is the meaning of this painting I got?”
“What else can it mean? You like to collect these valuable paintings and calligraphy.”
“No, this one is a gift for someone.”
“Who is it for?”
“Master White.”
“Master White?” “Why should you give it to him?” Bella was briefly stunned, and then quickly responded, “You want to use this painting to win his heart?”
“That’s the correct answer.”
Bella frowned, “It’s a nice painting, but will he like it?”
“He will definitely like it.”
“What makes you sure?”
“As the saying goes, the information makes winners.”
“You mean Master White is interested in landscape painting?”
“To be exact, he is interested in Chang Dai-Chien’s landscape paintings. Those who are familiar with him know that he has a fondness for Chang Dai-Chien.”
Bella suddenly realized, “Then when are you going to give it to him?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Shall I go with you? I want to go and see what kind of person Master White is and just how powerful he is to pull strings in the judicial world.”
“No way.”
Kevin refused without even thinking, “You are pregnant now. I don’t want you to get involved in these things.”
Bella knew that once Kevin stuck to his principles, he would not change his mind easily, so she stopped begging and gave up regretfully.
The next afternoon, Kevin arrived at Master White’s temporary residence with the calligraphy and paintings. There were only two servants in the large mansion, which was to deceive the public. Kevin knew very well that his underground organization was very extensive.
Master White did not look aloof when he saw Kevin. In fact, this was not the first time they met. They had already met once five years ago at old Old Master Brain’s home.
“Young master Jones-Sharp, nice to meet you.”
Master White didn’t change much compared to five years ago. He was still so sophisticated and worldly.
“Master White, I’ve taken the liberty to visit today. I won’t disturb you, will I?”
“Of course not, please have a seat.”
Master White pointed to the sofa in the living room and instructed the servants, “Prepare a good tea for the guest.”
After the tea was served, Master White asked directly, “I wonder if there is something that Master Jones-Sharp wants to do this time?”
Kevin looked at him in silence for a few moments and answered frankly, “It’s about your wife. I’m sure you are aware that your current wife is my wife’s half-sister.”
Kevin recounted the conflicts and entanglements that Bella had with Gillian and Patrick’s family in the right perspective. Although Kevin knew that Master White must be aware of it, he did not guarantee that the story that came out of Gillian’s mouth was completely true.
When he finished, Master White asked, “Is Master Jones-Sharp telling me this in the hope that I won’t listen to the words of my wife and do something against you?”
“You can say that.”
Kevin pondered for a moment, “Master White has always been well-informed, and must have known that I am now confronting a woman named Celeste, so at this time, I do not want you to join forces with her against me. You are a friend of my benefactor, and I hope that you can remain neutral for the sake of my benefactor.”
After Kevin finished speaking, he handed the painting and calligraphy he carried to Master White, “This is an authentic painting by Chang Dai-Chien himself. I hope you will like it.”
Master White looked at the painting and kept appreciating, “A good painting. It’s a good painting.”
“You come with me.”
He stood up and led Kevin into the study.
On the left wall of the study hung another authentic painting by Chang Dai-Chien, and Master White asked meaningfully, “What do you think?”
“Skillful technique. It’s wonderfully conceived, far-reaching in meaning, and finely carved. In short, it’s a perfect painting.”
“Compared to yours?”
“Each has its own merits.”
Master White smiled, “Do you know who gave you this painting?”
Kevin shook his head, but he already had a hunch in his heart.
Sure enough, Kevin’s hunch was right, and Master White told him honestly, “Celeste.”
Kevin looked gloomy, but playfully teased, “I didn’t expect this Celeste to react quickly at her age.”
Kevin made it clear, “Master White, since you have accepted her painting, does it mean that you have decided which side to take?”
Master White nodded with a smile, “Of course, I am on my wife’s side, and my wife’s enemy is my enemy.”
“I don’t believe so.”
“Oh? Why don’t you believe it?”
Master White was curious.
“The reason why you can flourish in both black and white is relying on righteousness. You’re on the side of reasons, not relatives. A man who can be moved by the pillow talk can not do a big career.”
Hahahaha-
Master White tilted his head and laughed, patting Kevin’s shoulder, “You’re a visionary young man, quite like my confident style back then.”
Master White’s smile faded and he said in a serious manner, “I will not spoil my wife, but after receiving Ms. Taylor’s paintings and calligraphy. You know the rules. I can no longer be an enemy of her. Now since you have also approached me. In order to be fair, I make a request and I will side with whoever can help me.”
“Please?”
Master White took a deep breath and then he looked quite depressed, “I want you to help me find my lost son.”
“Son?” Kevin’s eyes widened in surprise, “Master White, you lost your son?”
“Well, my son has been lost for more than twenty years. When my wife just gave birth to him for less than three months, he was stolen by my enemies in the black, and his whereabouts are still unknown. I have used all means to search for more than twenty years, but I didn’t find him. Perhaps the child is no longer alive, but I still want to continue to look for him. My wife missed him so much and committed suicide. I’m so sad about it. So in my lifetime, as long as I can draw a breath, I will have to find that child…”
Master White told his painful story and was tearful even if he was the big shot in the black.
“About how old is the child now? Can there be any special token or mark?”
“He has a red birthmark the size of a fingernail on the inner side of his right thigh, and is about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best.”
Kevin promised Master White, but he knew how difficult this matter was. Master White had connections all over the country. He had been looking for more than twenty years, but he didn’t find his son. Kevin wanted to find his son as if fishing a needle out of the sea.
But no matter how difficult it was, Kevin had to agree. He never got cold feet.
When Kevin returned home in the evening, Kevin told Bella about his daytime experience. Bella was shocked, not expecting Master White to throw such a hot potato into her husband’s hands.
“How do you plan to find him? I guess he searched with all the clues he could find.”
Kevin lay down on the sofa, head resting on Bella’s lap, closed his eyes, and said, “Don’t worry, if I can’t find his son, it’s unlikely that Celeste can find him. It’s not bad now. Master White will not side with anyone when we both don’t find his son, and this is beneficial to me. While I’m looking for Master White’s son, I can deal with Celeste, and I’ve laid out a plan to undermine her company. Pretty soon, I’ll take all the shares she holds.”
