Michael’s body swayed as he pushed open the door and walked into the house. Furious, Heather groaned in frustration, “Why didn’t you pick up my call, Michael? Did you know that Serena has been waiting for you the whole night?”In a bad mood, he replied impatiently, “I didn’t make her wait!”“Are you okay? What happened?” Heather looked at her son.Michael’s body swayed unsteadily as he sat opposite her. “Do you really love me, mom?”“What are you talking about, child? Would a mom not love her son?” Heather replied. When the strong smell of alcohol pierced through her nostrils, she frowned. “Why would you drink if you know that you have a bad stomach?”Laying against the sofa, Michael started to mumble to himself. “Why can’t you see how sad I am if you really love me? Why?”It was impossible for Heather to not see how miserable her son had been for the past three lonely years after Christina had left him. He had, after all, kicked Christina out of the family for his love and respe
Seeing that Christina looked more charming than she was three years ago, Serena was filled with jealousy. Christina was the belle of the ball during their college years with many guys pursuing her. Serena admitted that she herself was quite pretty. Yet when compared to Christina, she faded into insignificance and it made her very upset at that moment. Moreover, Christina had faced a lot of hardships over the past few years so she was supposed to look her age. However, God must have blessed her with ageless beauty because surprisingly, she looked as pretty as she was back then.Serena thought, ‘No matter how beautiful Christina is, she’s considered useless since she can’t even get pregnant!’ She finally felt better with this kind of mentality.Wendy was not only envious of Christina’s looks too, but deep inside, she was still seething from the slap that Christina gave her the other day.Christina simply ignored Serena and Wendy, knowing full-well that they were full of bad intent
“Apparently, that kid is about three years old. Could it be your fiancé’s…”“Shut up!” Flushed with anger, she immediately interrupted Wendy’s sentence. In fact, this was what worried Serena the most. It left Wendy in terrible shock as she had never seen Serena act so furiously before, but at that moment, Serena no longer cared about Wendy. “I’ve got to go now. You can take a taxi home by yourself.” Just like that, Wendy was abandoned. Although she was not exactly sure why Serena was furious, she knew it had to do with the kid. Was there something more to the kid’s identity?Upon reaching home, Serena dashed into the house without being concerned about her image.Sophia was arranging the flowers in the living room when she saw her daughter dashing in. She frowned. “Why are you rushing? You look embarrassing.”“Mom, something has come up!” Serena rushed toward Sophia. “Christina… Christina has actually given birth to a boy!”“What are you saying?” Sophia instantly sat upright
“She has somehow overcome it? Is this your explanation?” Sophia gnashed her teeth. “She has already given birth to a child. If Michael investigates this issue, I’m going to lay the blame on you!” “Don’t worry. I’ve cleared all the evidence. He won’t be able to find anything.”Sophia was slightly relieved upon hearing such a reply. Nevertheless, she had no idea what to do at this point.Serena grew restless when she noticed that Sophia’s expression had become increasingly somber. She kept mumbling, “What should I do? Mom, what should we do? What if that’s Michael’s kid?”Sophia was contemplating something more important, so she did not bother herself with her. She could not afford to panic right now. She had to think of a solution to this issue immediately.Having gone through many ups and downs in life, Sophia had become experienced in dealing with this kind of problem and she was able to calm down very quickly. What mattered most at this point was to find out who the father was,
When Travis and Matthew went on a rollercoaster ride, Christina just watched their silhouettes from below. She could hear her son’s voice on and off.She was in a somewhat dreamy mood. She realized that Matthew was quite good-looking and wealthy, but the fact that he came from a wealthy family made it impossible for her to be with him.Christina had experienced being together with Sean and Micheal who were both from very well-to-do families, hence she resisted marrying into one. After spending half the day at the amusement park, Matthew and Christina took Travis to a revolving hotpot restaurant. The little kid enjoyed his meal very much. However, when Matthew took Travis to the washroom, he bumped into Heather who was also having her meal in the restaurant.Heather looked at the boy in astonishment. “What a lovely kid. Whose kid is that, Matthew?”“Of course he’s my son!” Matthew bragged cheerfully. Heather could not help but stare at the kid and touch his head. She felt as i
Heather found an acquaintance to alter the evidence by inserting Christina’s voice and picture into it using a computer. She thought that her plan would certainly succeed, but to Heather’s frustration, her son would rather get cuckolded than divorce Christina.This left Heather no choice but to go with Plan B, which was to look for a surrogate mother.Although Heather wanted Serena to be her daughter-in-law very badly, Serena could not possibly be a surrogate mother as it would destroy her image as a mayor’s daughter.Heather then shared this problem with a good friend who advised her to take the risk of getting Serena pregnant. After all, Serena was related to a mayor who held a high status.Yet when Heather told her son about her plan to get a surrogate mother, he was insistent on not betraying Christina. Again, she had no choice but to suggest giving birth through the test-tube baby technique.Once Serena had gotten pregnant, Heather thought that her son and Christina would gro
Heather sat down with a long face. “Let me ask you something. Is it really true that Christina can’t get pregnant?”Having received Sophia’s call earlier, Doctor Harris had learned about Christina’s ability to get pregnant. Otherwise, she would not have known how to deal with Heather’s question. Doctor Harris walked over to Heather’s side and sat beside her. “What’s the matter actually?” “Christina has given birth!” Heather asked face-to-face, “You told me earlier that Christina could never give birth, but how did she manage to do so?”“She has given birth?” A look of astonishment crossed Doctor Harris’s face. “This is impossible! How can she give birth when she couldn’t even ovulate?”“Just because I trusted what you said, I forced my son to divorce her. But now she has given birth to a child. It’s all your fault!”“This is strange, too strange! Having treated many infertile patients over the years, I can’t believe that there’s a way to restore fertility! Back then, I only mad
Sophia was shocked to receive a call from Doctor Harris. “Heather has learned about it? That was fast.”“Yeah. She came asking why I lied to her, and I pulled the wool over her eyes. Having said that, I’m sure it’s not easy to deceive Michael as compared to Heather. You need to come up with a plan to get Micheal and Serena engaged soon.”“I know. I’ve been trying to come up with a solution over the past few days.” Sophia hung up the phone and then said to Serena, “Go and buy some tonics. Bring them to visit Heather and try to find out about the matter too.”Heather saw Serena on the couch chatting with her servant the moment she arrived home. As soon as Serena caught sight of Heather, she stood up. “Mrs. Larson, I’ve been busy looking at wedding dresses over the past few days, so I didn’t come and visit you. I hope you don’t mind?”The servant took out Serena’s buys and said, “Miss Serena has bought you a lot of food.” Seeing Serena made Heather feel a little better. “Of course I
