The boy had a slender body and chestnut-colored short hair tucked under a cap worn backward. His face was fair and pretty, but right now it was filled with impatience.As for the beautiful woman, she had a pretty oval face, a delicate nose, and light pink lips. She did not look more than twenty-five or -six.From the moment she told the boy that Jane was his older sister, Jane understood who they were—products of her father’s adulterous ways.The nausea assaulted her in waves.Although Josep
The beautiful woman jumped when that cold voice suddenly yelled at her like that. It was not that she had not noticed that exceptional-looking man at the table when she came in. In fact, when she first forced her way into the house with her son, the first person she saw was not her target— that thin and plain-looking woman at the table.No, it was the proud and unnaturally handsome man behind the table.Yes, she was jealous. All women secretly made comparisons. The prettier the woman, the mo
She stood in Jane’s way. Even so, Jane did not holler Dos and the rest to chase her out. Instead, she cast a subtle glance at the woman kneeling on the ground and sized her up silently. She could not help finding this absurd. What gave this homewrecker the courage to approach the rightful wife’s daughter to plead for mercy?What gave her father’s little lover the confidence to think that she, Jane, was easy to talk to!Jane looked at the beautiful woman kneeling in front of her and said with a
At the thought of that, Sean tightened his grip on Jane's shoulder, pulling their distance closer together."M-Mrs. Stewart." The beautiful woman was seemingly trembling in fear. A stream of tears flowed out of her aggrieved eyes. She peered at Jane’s face with her watery eyes as well as the man beside Jane… Sean."My name is Ginnie, Mrs. Stewart. Augustine shares the same surname as your father—Dunn. His name is Augustine Dunn. I know that it’s rude for me to barge in like this today, but I h
Jane was mentally prepared. Perhaps Ginnie would demand an exorbitant amount, or perhaps she would ask her to persuade Madam Dunn to draw in her claws. However, Ginnie’s request was one that she had never expected!She stopped talking, but this only made Ginnie more anxious. She clarified with Jane in a haste, "I don't want anything else, I’m serious. I just hope that Augustine can show up in public as a lawful child.“I don’t want a single cent from the Dunn family.“Returning Augustine to his rightful family is more important than anything else. "Jane listened as Ginnie said sincerely, "Please understand, Mrs. Stewart. You can treat it as a mother who is being selfish."Suddenly, she was speechless.Standing next to her, even Sean was nonplussed.He studied Ginnie’s face after listening to her appeal.He lowered his head and stared at the expressionless face of the woman in his arms. In his heart, he knew that she had figured out everything that he was also thinking about.
"What... will I end up becoming?"Ginnie was afraid, especially when she saw the expression on Jane's face. That woman’s expression looked so uncanny that it made her flesh crawl."If Grandpa was still around," Jane said slowly, "You’d be dead."She saw the flickers of doubt in Ginnie's eyes, then stared calmly at Ginnie to explain, "Don't doubt it. It’s exactly what you understand it to be.“Natural disasters, man-made disasters, anything you can think of.“As well as those that you can't
Joseph was actually devising a plan around Jane in order to use her.Sean narrowed his eyes. His cold eyes fell on the thin and tall Augustine.With a thump in her heart, Ginnie hid her son behind her hastily. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "No. Joseph won’t have the guts to do so." Gritting her teeth and seemingly making a difficult decision, Ginnie looked at Jane as though she was placed in a difficult position. "Why don’t I take Augustine for an examination to
The cunning Ginnie knew exactly what Joseph wanted. A coquettish protest might not disgust herself to death, but it could put Joseph in a very good mood."Oppa..." Ginnie looked like she was wronged as she told Joseph, with exaggerated details, everything Jane had said to her. She wiped her tears."Oppa, you know how old Augustine is.“He hasn’t even ended puberty yet.“Your daughter is trying to take advantage of him. She even asked Augustine to donate his bone marrow.“It’s not that I don’t want to save Jason, but Augustine is only ten years old.“What should he do if he donates this thing in his body just like that? If he’s an adult, I will make sure that I will personally bring Augustine to the hospital without anyone telling me to do so.“But Augustine hasn’t even finished puberty yet. I don’t even know how it will affect Augustine if he donates it. "She said a bunch of things, but not once did she say the words ‘refuse to donate’. She knew better than to say those word
