Nigel recalled that during her last prenatal checkup, the doctor had emphasized being extremely cautious during the first three months. Moreover, he had grown up together with Catherine since he was young. He always treated her as a younger sister. Their physical relationship had only occurred because he was wasted. In any case, he had wronged her. Considering that Catherine didn't do anything wrong, Nigel realized that he had gone too far. When he returned to his senses, Nigel pursed his lips. He wanted to rush forward to help her up. "Cath, I'm sorry … I acted on impulse just now. Perhaps it's because the sun was too strong that caused me to act out of place. Are you alright, Cath? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"With a regretful expression, Nigel bent down. Yet, before he could lay a finger on Catherine, he was pushed away forcefully by someone else."Asshole!"Harold couldn't tolerate it any longer. He stepped forward abruptly, lifted his hands, and th
As she spoke, she caressed her stomach and lowered her head pitifully. Harold could only suppress his anger. He sneered coldly and remained silent. Nigel let out a silent breath of relief. Upon watching the scene unfold, Hannah found it rather ironic. Was love really that important?It felt as if Catherine was stabbing both Harold and Fiona in their hearts. It also felt as if she was trampling all over their dignity.She was willing to hurt her parents' feelings for someone she didn't even love.How heroic. Hannah sneered coldly and said, "Are we still going to continue pursuing my issue now? Otherwise, I'd like to change my clothes in the cabin."As she spoke, she gently tugged at her sleeves. The damp clothes that she had on felt uncomfortable to wear. Furthermore, her skin started feeling dry and tight after soaking in the seawater. She desperately needed a refreshing shower. Cedric's gaze shifted toward Hannah, "You seem rather unbothered about the situation, Ms
Hannah was slightly taken aback. She instinctively grabbed his hand and wanted to examine it carefully. "Mr. Winchester, are you hurt? Where are you hurt? How bad is it?"The incident just now was so chaotic that her focus was solely on the Moores. She had overlooked his condition. Upon recalling the school of sharks in the water and the fact that he was the last to get onto the hovercraft, it was likely that he might have gotten injuries underwater that she hadn't noticed. Filled with regret and concern, she bit her lip and said, "I was too careless.""Don't worry, Hannah. It's just a small injury."There was a vague smile in his dark eyes. Upon seeing her anxiousness, Darren quickly reassured her, saying, "I just exerted too much force and was hit by the shark's tail."Hannah didn't notice his relaxed tone. She remained silent and pulled him into the room. A sense of warmth surged up in Darren's heart upon seeing Hannah's concern for him. With a helpless tone, he said, "H
In an affectionate tone, he whispered, "Instead of being worried about me, why don't you show me more affection?"Affection?How should she show him affection?Hannah's eyes sparkled with amusement as she extended her fingers to tap his nose gently. Her tender fingertips traced across the bridge of his nose and moved down until it landed on his lips. With a mischievous and playful tone, she asked, "Mr. Winchester, how do you want me to show you affection? Isn't helping you with medicine sufficient?"Darren couldn't help but think to himself that it was far from sufficient. In the past, he always thought of himself to be an emotionless person. There was nothing in this world that could move him. But only when it came to Hannah, did he seem more human-like, with blood, flesh, and desire. He experienced the greed of wanting more, jealousy, envy, joy, and anger. He even had thoughts that came as a surprise to himself. It seemed as if he was a completely unfamiliar version
He didn't pay much attention to it before. But now that he'd come to a realization, Darren was truly heartbroken. This was a gift specially meant for him. It was something that none of his other siblings had. He only had the chance to wear and flaunt it for less than a day. Before he could receive many compliments, the watch was already damaged. Darren's gaze was filled with disappointment. He couldn't help but put the blame on the Moores. "The Moores are outrageous. They hosted a wedding ceremony on a cruise ship without proper safety measures in place."Darren seemed like a kid who had just lost their favorite toy. Hannah tried to hold back but she couldn't help and burst into laughter. Darren gave her an accusatory look which only made her smile widen. Hannah took the watch and said gently, "It's alright. Although the watch is broken, this is a token of love that shows your affection for me, Mr. Winchester."She would always remember how Darren had jumped in without
Hannah lifted her gaze to look at him instinctively. It seemed as if he could always sense the slightest change in her emotions. It was as if he was watching her at every moment. A small smile appeared on her face. She held onto his hand and shook her head. "I'm just thinking about how uncertain life can be."She was referring to Timothy. He, who should've been thriving in life and happily married, was now all alone, thrown to an insignificant department in the Moore Group, and referred to as a useless person. He reminded her of her past life. It wasn't up to him to decide if he had to struggle or give up.Hannah's gaze revealed a hint of sadness and helplessness. "Life may be unpredictable, but people are predictable."Darren's low voice echoed in her ears. His tone was slightly dominant. "In life, aren't we all just fighting against our own fate?"His gaze landed on Hannah. While his gaze looked calm from the outside, it was filled with hidden determination.Darren
"Ana, forgive me for being impulsive."Cedric held Diana's hand. His gaze softened slightly. He lowered her voice, turned his attention toward her, and said gently, "But I don't think I can accept or even come to imagine life without you. I'll see anyone who tries to tear us apart as my enemy. There's no way I can pretend to be polite or friendly to them. You understand me, right?"Diana wondered if she really did understand him. She lifted her gaze and looked at him. She saw a small reflection of herself in his eyes. It was such an addictive feeling. It made her feel as if she was his entire world; that she was his most cherished love; that she was his one and only.Indeed. She couldn't help but wonder what faults Cedric had.It was just that he loved her too much and was too afraid to lose her. After all, he was willing to sacrifice even his life for her. She was the one who had made the mistake from the start. "Cedric, I understand."She lifted her hands and p
Diana was pampered all her life growing up. When she heard those words, her face flushed red in embarrassment. Unsure of what to say, she bit her lips. She desperately wanted to disappear on the spot. Darren didn't use harsh words. However, Diana knew better than anyone else what he had meant. Her behavior was not only contradictory but also embarrassing for the Sorsbys. She was being outrageous. She couldn't help but feel regretful. Her eyes turned red. She lowered her head and remained silent. Her heart filled up with guilt toward Cedric. She believed that he only spoke that way because he genuinely cared for her. Yet, as his girlfriend, she couldn't even be of help at a time like this. She was really useless …However, she didn't realize that Cedric's gaze toward her was filled with coldness and resentment. It was obvious that he was unhappy with her quick surrender. Hannah, on the other hand, saw his expression clearly. She couldn't help but frown. Initially,
