Catherine wasn't wrong.

Nonetheless, when Lila saw how her parents were even more affectionate toward her after the marriage, she bit her lower lip.

She kept having a hunch that something was off.

Meanwhile, an unexpected guest visited the Winchester residence.

He was tall and imposing. Dressed in casual clothes, he stood upright, showcasing an indifferent demeanor. He had sharp eyes, and his perfectly sculptured tan face was filled with righteousness.

"Mr. Nicholl?"

Hannah was slightly surprised.

She glanced at him and stepped aside, raising her hand as she said, "You don't come over often. Please take a seat."

In the living room, Fabian didn't look any gentler despite wearing a suit. He had a predator-like demeanor, and it was oddly attractive.

Even the usually bold Naomi couldn't help but feel intimidated by him. Nina, however, reacted differently. Despite her timid personality, her eyes lit up.

She shot a few glances at him and took the initiative to pour him s

    Fabian's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at Hannah. He smiled and said, "Ms. Emerson, it seems like you're already mentally prepared."After he took a sip of tea, he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "The postgraduate studies application results are about to be released, right? Which field are you going to study?"Hannah paused for a while, then she smiled. "Does my answer affect your decision?""Of course not," Fabian replied with a chuckle. "I don't have that much power over what you desire, Ms. Emerson. I'm just asking. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to answer me."Although he said so, his gaze was fixated on her. "I do have plans."After a brief pause, Hannah flashed a smile at him. In a suggestive manner, she continued, "But I feel like keeping them a secret now.""It seems like it's something out of the box."Fabian shook his head as he tapped on the glass and drawled, "Professor Nolan has been hoping for you to join his ranks.

    After all, Nina was the most timid sibling among the Winchesters. Nina wasn't aware of her sarcasm at all. Instead, she covered her face and giggled. She was truly an angel. It was undeniable that she was traumatized by her past, which left a scar on her character development. Nevertheless, she grew up with a kind heart despite the distress. She had always been pure and innocent, and no one would have the heart to taint her. "The way Mr. Nicholl speaks is hardly comprehensible," Naomi remarked as she approached and sneaked a glance at the invitation card. To her, the invitation was way too simple. It was almost like no information was given. As she wrinkled her face in confusion, she asked, "Hannah, what does this mean? What brings Mr. Nicholl here today?"She found the way smart people spoke to be extremely indirect, making her utterly confused. "He's here to send me a gift on behalf of Darren."Hannah smiled and closed the invitation as she continued gently, "However,

    "Why are you in a hurry?" Hannah asked curiously. "Is there anything urgent?"The Winchester siblings rarely received any affection from their elders. Thus, they hadn't experienced the warmth of a family since childhood. Since Molly moved in, they had been very dependent on her. During this time, Anthony had been practicing at the club. He took a break today and took Molly out for a stroll. As Erica fumbled with her fingers, the tip of her foot grazed past the floor subconsciously. She answered dryly, "I-I was making soup in the kitchen … I forgot to check on it earlier."Next week, she was going to start working at Starlight Foundation. This was her first step to moving forward in life, and she took it very seriously. In the past few days, she had been reading through the materials Hannah had prepared for her. "Oh, so you're making soup, Erica! No wonder it smells so good."Naomi inhaled whimsically as her hand flew to her stomach. She exclaimed, "I've been smelling it

    His dark eyes were heavily tinged with lust. His aloof demeanor vanished in an instant as he fell into the web of lust she had woven. This felt magical. It was even slightly addicting to him. "You're one to talk, Darren."She lazily propped her chin with one hand, resting her elbow against her knee as she glanced at him with a smile. She was stunning. Everything about her was pulling him closer to her. Her long dress gently adhered to her figure, and her complexion was glowing. She was staring at him with her attractive eyes and succulent lips. As she leaned into him, he could clearly feel her luscious curves against him. Her lips closed into his ear as she whispered, "You lied to me, and this is the punishment you'll get."Darren swallowed hard. She was way too close. When she spoke, her lips would touch the edge of his ear. They were soft and warm, which reminded him of clouds.His ears became flushed when he realized the sensation made him desire her more. Howev

    Hannah smiled playfully, seeming to understand his thoughts."Hannah, you feel that it's good too, right?"Naomi raised her head proudly.Darren no longer stared at her with that scary look. He obviously agreed with her statement.Feeling relieved, Naomi was a little smug, and she said, "I understand now. If Hannah wishes to, I'll accompany her to the police station to lodge a report.""It's good."Hannah said with a smile as her gaze was fixed on Darren, "We should catch this fraud and sentence him to life in prison."Darren's ears felt hot, and his heart was burning. The fire seemed to make his blood boil.At the same time, his body started heating up causing his brain to become a bit hazy. The whole situation made him feel a sense of unreal sweetness.Hannah said that she would like him in her heart for a lifetime.His eyes were deep and dark as he held her playful hand in his while slightly tightening his grip.He was not someone who could take jokes lightly.If she s

    Erica had a surprised smile upon hearing Nina's words.Her previous living environment had been too oppressive, so she was used to placing herself in a humble position.She was rarely praised by others.With a happy expression, she subconsciously denied, "My cooking skills are just average. I still have a lot to learn from Mrs. Tate …"She didn't finish her sentence and bit her tongue lightly, unable to continue her words.She had a confused look on her face.Indeed, she couldn't be compared to Mrs. Tate.Mrs. Tate had studied abroad and had specialized qualifications to manage the household efficiently.Not only did she have excellent cooking skills, but she was also efficient in handling tasks.Unlike Erica, the best she could offer was to make some mediocre soup.Perhaps they didn't find her soups particularly delicious. They were just being polite.Nina didn't understand why Erica stopped talking mid-sentence and lowered her head with a blank expression while biting her

    Darren didn't let her off easily in the end.  Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women.   This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica.  Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go.  Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her.  Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo

    Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

    Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?"  Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room.  He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people.  Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment.  She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?"  She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation.  The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over.  Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down."  However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out

    At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face.  "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out.  A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more."  The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more."  After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought.  Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?"  "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile.  He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!"    "Dad, what ha

    She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade.  She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost.  No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s

    She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened.    Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?"  Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric.  The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders.  She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way.  Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes.  Below her eye

    Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth.  As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone?  Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him.  Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different.  The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him.  Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger.  The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems.  But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a

He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do."  He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results."  He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime.

    Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
