He never had someone to attend parent-teacher meetings for him anyway.It didn't matter; he didn't have much to look forward to anyway."Even if I have something to do, it won't be more important than your thing, Kaden." Hannah gave him a kind smile. She added, "Kaden's our precious little baby. We've got to make sure we give enough attention to everything in his growth."Kaden raised his head in disbelief. As he glanced at her, his ears turned red.What was the matter with Hannah! How could she say those words with such ease?What baby was she talking about ... He'd rather not! He was a man, and a man should be strong and resolute. What baby?Did she think she was coaxing a child?Through his embarrassment, Kaden gulped down his milk and picked up his school bag. "I'm done eating. I'm off to school now! Bye Hannah, goodbye my brothers and sisters!"He darted for the entrance and slipped on his school shoes, avoiding Hannah's smiling eyes at all costs.However, he couldn't b
Nina, too, was so thrilled that she jumped in place. She swung her clenched fists into the air and down again as she exclaimed, "Andrew can definitely do it! Congratulations, Andrew!""I ..." Andrew couldn't hold back anymore. The tears were threatening to escape his eyes, and he couldn't fight the curve of his lips. "Thank you, Darren. I promise I won't embarrass the Winchesters.""What a fool." Anthony turned away. He couldn't bear to meet his brother's eyes, but still, he raised a fist and lightly tapped his shoulder. "Don't be a crybaby at military school.""Get lost! Of course, I won't!"Andrew was beyond ecstatic. After calming himself down a little, he still excitedly skipped around the room.This time around, no one was criticizing him for being noisy. Both of his younger sisters were immersed in the joy of his success.As usual, Anthony slumped back onto the couch. He watched his brother with a smile on his- face, but the hint of envy and confusion in his eyes was unmi
She would be busy with her skincare regimen, shopping and scrutinizing luxury brands, having afternoon tea with her friends, and indulging in the company of numerous male suitors.So busy that she couldn't carve out spare time for her son.Kaden found it oddly amusing, yet he couldn't manage a smile. Instead, it felt as though a blunt blade was slowly and steadily cutting into his heart.The relentless, dull pain was torturous."I don't bear grudges," he murmured, pursing his lips. "I understand that you're busy. I won't waste any more of your time. I'll just head to class now since I'm running late.""Kaden Winchester!"Amanda's heart surged with anxiety.She owed her current lavish lifestyle entirely to her son, who shared the Winchester family name and obeyed her instructions.She had grown accustomed to having him as a pet dog. He was always at her side regardless of how much she verbally abused him. He was always grateful for the slightest show of affection.With things b
Kaden looked up.St. Willow High School had strict rules, including guidelines regarding students' hairstyles and attire. Boys were prohibited from dyeing or perming their hair.The person in front of Kaden was wearing the school uniform, but his hair was cropped close to the scalp. He had bold features. Despite just coming of age, he was quite tall and well-built. He looked at Kaden provocatively."Zach, what are you up to again?" Kaden looked at Zach Jubert calmly. He was used to Zach's demeanor.Zach and his friends burst into laughter. "We wouldn't dare to do anything to a good student like you, would we? Oh, by the way, I heard you got stopped by your little slutty mom at the school gate today. "No wonder there's such a strong slutty smell on you; turns out you got it from your mom." Zach grinned and lifted Kaden's backpack."Well, sorry, but I'm allergic to sluts. Just for my own safety, I'll take care of your backpack!" Zach chuckled and tossed the backpack downstairs.
These kinds of parents were really …Ms. Lenny had a splitting headache thinking about the situation. She glanced at Kaden, who had been sitting silently. "Why haven't you made a call yet?""His sl-mom doesn't give a damn about him!" Zach chuckled wickedly. He added, "He might as well be an orphan. Come on, Ms. Lenny, where's he supposed to find a parent? Just leave it be. What's the point of having a parent like that?""Zach!"The words were simply too unpleasant. She frowned, scolding him, "You all are schoolmates! How can you talk like this? This isn't how I've taught you to behave!""I'm not like that with everyone. Anyway, who does he think he is?" Zach sneered.Zach was already 18 years old and was about to graduate soon. Ms. Lenny thought she couldn't do much about Zach's opinion. She sighed in resignation. Since she was unable to convince Zach, she turned to Kaden, who was sitting in a daze. "Ka—"She was just about to tell him there was no need for him to call anyon
Hannah scoffed, "We're not living in ancient times, and having multiple wives or mistresses is illegal. Besides, husbands and fathers don't hold such power over women anymore. Merely causing problems with women and children doesn't demonstrate any real ability, does it?""So … what do you propose I do?" Kesha asked hesitantly.Hannah's gaze turned cold, and she spoke bluntly, "Your son is a strapping young man. Both of you can't handle one man? "If you still want to be with your husband, tie him up tonight and give him a serious beating. Beat him until he's scared. Also, gather evidence of his infidelity. "If he dares mention divorce, kick him out and leave him with nothing. If he chooses to stay, hassle him regularly. Make him your lapdog so that he follows your every command and won't dare to stray again."If you're still not satisfied, find someone to confront the other woman. You have the means and connections. Why not teach her a lesson?"Kesha's eyes shimmered with enthus
Ms. Lenny tried to help Kaden on multiple occasions, but she felt powerless. In the end, she was only able to offer more subtle forms of care. He was not ignorant of this, just that his gloomy emotions clouded his vision. Amidst his world-weariness, he couldn't help but vent some of that frustration toward her. After a prolonged silence, he spoke solemnly, "Thank you for always looking out for me.""Silly child." Ms. Lenny's eyes teared up. She smiled while shaking her head. "I'm your teacher. Taking care of you is my responsibility."But what did she mean by "responsibility"? Nonetheless, she didn't dwell on it. Rather, she went and had a talk with the grade-level supervisor. The high school seniors had a heavy academic workload. It wasn't practical to organize a get-together and consume valuable class time for this apology. The school would never agree to it.On the other hand, Zach had quite a few ideas. "How about I apologize on the school radio?" The way he said it made i
Kaden took a deep breath and calmly analyzed everything. He began, "I'm not acting on impulse; I just don't see the necessity of transferring schools. "Even if I were to go to a new school, blending into a new environment is quite bothersome. Currently, we're essentially revisiting what we've previously learned. "I've already got a solid grasp of the material. I can study at home. Rather than transferring, I could take a leave and study at home. I could even study alongside you!"His eyes brightened, and he clenched his fists. He added, "If you're worried, we can hire a few tutors. I'll make sure to attend the school's monthly and final exams on time, too."This way, not only could he assist Hannah with her studies, but he could also spend more time with her! Great plan!Hannah was lost in thought.Ms. Lenny was surprisingly open-minded. She hesitated briefly before advising Hannah, "Kaden is very disciplined. If he thinks this is a better fit, you might want to consider provid
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 was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. 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. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people
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
