Brian's words made Laurel gasp in surprise, her face turning pale. "What the hell are you saying?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, Laurel, I have proof." Brian pulled the files out of his bag. “You must have some questions, why did you get into Aaron's company so easily, why did he marry you so easily. It's all for a reason: he is the same person whose car crashed into your father's car and killed him ten years ago.”
"What?"
Laurel had actually been able to digest all of Brian's words. Her mind had concluded from what the man had said. Nevertheless, her heart screamed, refusing to believe it just like that.
“You remember the person who bumped into your father was also named Aaron, a son of a rich businessman who got away with it simply because they had a lot of money, right?” Brian bombarded Laurel with all the information. “The Aaron you married is the same Aaron, the rich kid who got drunk and was speeding, then ran a red light and hit your innocent fath

Aaron trotted out of Laurel's room, trying to deaf ear to the pounding on the door and her screams. He walked into his study, sat there with all the emotions running through his head. Laurel's hurtful words rang in his ears. The statement that she hated him, hated him so much. Just like ten years ago, Laurel would always hate him in the end.

On the other hand, Aaron was driving aimlessly, looking for Laurel and could not find her. However, he remembered the dormitory and realized that his wife did not know about his relationship with Aunt Sarah. Most likely Laurel went back to her dorm first. Aaron was turning his car around to head to the dormitory when his cell phone rang. “Laurel is here,” Aunt Sarah's soft voice sounded on the other end. For a moment, Aaron closed his eyes, feeling relief run through his body at the information he had received. He had been extremely worried. His mind was filled with negative thoughts, afraid that Laurel would be reckless and do something out of her mind. Knowing that Laurel was safe in the dorm was a relief to him. “Is she okay?” “She came in and started crying. I have calmed her down and now she's resting in her room. She already knows everything.” “An incident made Laurel know everything and she misunderstood, thinking I was tricking

“You have to eat Laurel.” Aunt Sarah placed a plate of still hot food in front of Laurel. “Let's give it a try even if it's just a few bites.” Laurel glanced at the food on the plate. The food was delicious and, if she weren’t feeling dizzy, the sweet smell would surely make her salivate. However, at that time Laurel felt dizzy and did not want to eat. Nevertheless, she saw Aunt Sarah looking at her expectantly. The woman who is like her mother must have gone to the trouble of cooking this meal for her. Laurel did not want to disappoint her. Just to please Aunt Sarah, she ended up taking the plate and taking a bite of her food. Her stomach, which had not been filled all day, greeted her with an overwhelming feeling of nausea. However, Laurel held it back. She continued to eat the food for up to three bites, and then gave up, staring at Aunt Sarah with an apologetic look. “I am so sorry, Auntie.” Aunt Sarah smiled and nodded understandingly. “I

That morning, as usual, Laurel helped bathe Alin's baby. It had been one week since she had stayed at Alin's house. Her best friend forbade her to leave first and she accepted the offer, considering her condition was not getting better. She always felt nauseous and wanted to throw up all the time. Her head sometimes felt dizzy and her condition had not even improved during the week she lived with Alin. The baby had been bathed and Alin gave him breast milk, while Laurel rearranged the baby's toiletries. As she bent down to put the towel into the laundry basket, a sudden pain shot through her lower abdomen. The excruciating pain made her groan as she clung to the towel rack beside her. “Laurel?” “It really hurts!” Laurel held her stomach that felt like it was being squeezed. The pain is excruciating. Alin placed her full and sleeping baby in the cradle, and then stepped closer to Laurel. “Come on, Laurel, maybe you're too tense and tired. Lie d

Laurel was stunned. She turned her head and stared at Aaron in silence. The man was looking down, not looking at her. His gaze lost in his own thoughts. “Do you know how I felt at that time?” Aaron smiled bitterly. “I came with all my arrogance and confidence, feeling powerful and having everything, feeling I could buy someone an apology, but I was wrong. You made me realize that time. When you said that I was a lowly human with no self-respect, hiding behind my father's power, you were absolutely right.” Aaron sighed. “I came home fully aware, like I was slapped to wake.” The man finally looked at Laurel with a look full of pain. “But I'm trying, Laurel, I'm trying so I can stand before you, with dignity. I tried my best. I founded my company as my proof to you. The company did not accept my father's interference at all. I started from scratch. And, yes, I did lie to you. I watched you from the start. Don't get me wrong, Laurel, I have absolutely no ill inte

Our aunt's condition is deteriorating and Mom wants to be there to take care of her.” Aamber looked at Laurel's stomach carefully. “Are you and my future nephew okay?”Laurel smiled. Aamber is very straightforward and funny. Laurel could probably be good friends with her. “He is fine.” She rubbed her belly affectionately. “Thank you for the flowers and doll.”“At first I was confused about what to buy. However, without realizing it, I was carrying this big teddy bear out of the shop.” Amber laughed. “By the way, where is Brother?”Laurel glanced at the second floor. “Aaron is taking a shower.”“Oh.” Aamber smiled gen
