Fay successfully falls into the arms of Cade Goldwin. It looks exactly like a romance movie. A girl's cheap trick to attract the attention of the opposite sex.For some time there was an eerie silence. The originally crowded party room was suddenly silent. All eyes were on one point, Fay who fell into Cade Goldwin's arms.The women began to curse Fay and wished for Cade's punishment. They were all jealous. How could a foreign girl with no clear social status touch Cade so easily?Meanwhile, Cade's cold face was getting grim. Had this been any other girl and not Fay Willmer, he would have accused her of the most disgusting dirty trick. There was never a single woman who dared to try this on him. But the girl in his arms was Fay Willmer who liked to find trouble with him. Cade tried to guess whether this was an accident or something else.For a moment Fay could only grimace. She was still clutching the chest part of Cade's suit while trying to endure the pain. Maybe she had sprained her
"Isn't it your birthday today?" Mrs. Goldwin asked back. She was now looking at the children.Mika laughed amusedly as she saw her grandmother giving them both a 'you lied to me' look."We just said we wanted to celebrate mommy's birthday. But that doesn't mean it's mommy's birthday today. We've never celebrated before." Mike said casually without any guilt.It was just an excuse to get Laura Goldwin to drive them to Fay's apartment."Akh!" Laura tapped herself on the forehead. "You've tricked grandma.""We didn't. She just misinterpreted it." Mike still didn't accept the blame.Fay who heard that just sneered. She was familiar with the behavior of these two kids. They never wanted to lose an argument."Mommy, you're so beautiful today." Mika hugged Fay's arm and tugged at the hem of the dress sleeve."I'm always pretty," Fay said quickly. The two children glanced at each other. As Fay knew them, they also knew Fay very well. Narcissistic mommy strikes again!Mrs. Goldwin had been wa
Fay pouted as she watched Callie barge into her room. Behind her followed Mike and Mika."What's wrong with your face?" scolded Callie as she placed her bag on the table by the bed.Fay had been avoiding her for the past few days for no apparent reason. Callie had a headache of her own. Until then she no longer wanted to find out the reason. Maybe the dopamine levels in Fay's body were down. So her best friend was irritable."I heard you sprained your foot. So, I brought you a lot of snacks." Callie pushed a large plastic bag towards Fay, ignoring her pouting face.Fay couldn't help but take it. "What do snacks and a sprained foot have to do with it?"Callie brought herself to lie down next to Fay who was sitting on the edge of the bed."You need something to eat to keep from getting bored."Fay's mood was not as bad as before. She checked the contents of the plastic bag and was a little happy."Mommy, you should share it with us." Mika, who also peeked at the contents, asked for a sh
For a few seconds, the man was silent. Under the fierce gaze of three pairs of eyes, Oscar finally laughed awkwardly.“All right. I did lie about your uncle. I’m a close friend of the Barney family. I just wanted to help them find their missing daughter again. After a while of not finding any clues, a few days ago a messenger of mine told me about you.The features are very similar. The only doubt is that on your birth certificate, you were born in a small village. But the timing coincides with when Felix Willmer moved to Trixie, which is also when Alice Barney disappeared.”Fay listened without interrupting. Mike and Mika were busy with their thoughts.“What advantage will you gain by finding this Miss. Barney?” Fay’s question was beyond Oscar’s expectations.The man forced a smile before answering. “Nothing. Other than a favor from a friend.”“They must have promised a large sum of money.” Fay pursued Oscar’s confession.Oscar laughed. “Of course, there will be a reward. They annou
Laura did call Mike after dinner. She also heard Mika’s noise on the other side. The woman suddenly missed her two grandchildren.Mike and Mika took turns talking to their grandmother. Peppered with the opinions of those who disliked Oscar Finch, the story was complete. When the call ended Laura felt like she had just watched a live broadcast.They were in Cade’s study. Her son looked at Laura with curiosity filling his eyes.“I think it’s time you investigated Fay’s past,” Laura said to her son with an unpredictable expression on her face.On the other hand, Fay was nonchalantly playing with her cell phone. She overheard Mike and Mika talking about Oscar Finch coming over this morning. But she didn’t try to stop them from saying anything to Laura Goldwin. The girl only glared once when Mika said that their mommy couldn’t be trusted.“I just changed my mind,” Fay said defensively about her calling Oscar just minutes after she said she wouldn’t contact him.But Mika ignored her and con
Oscar who heard Shopia Barney’s words, his face changed slightly. He looked uneasy in his seat. Feeling that someone was watching, Oscar tried to look and found Mika’s suspicious gaze.Hey, what are you looking at?! Sighing inwardly, Oscar looked away from the kid. His heart grew faint.“Mr. Finch, you look pale. Are you sick?” reprimanded Mika sounding concerned. But the corners of the little girl's lips were slightly raised. It looked full of mockery.“What? Uh, I’m fine. Just didn’t sleep well last night.” Oscar replied while trying to smile naturally.There was an ‘oh’ from the little mouth.Oscar cursed inwardly. Exactly who were these kids? Fay Willmer only said that they were her friend’s children. But why are they still in this place and sticking like glue to that girl? And why didn’t the person who investigated Fay Willmer say anything about them? The first time Oscar saw them, he ignored them and didn’t attach any importance to their existence. Today, he felt he had to fin
Oscar Finch arrived almost an hour later. All those waiting had frowning faces. Oscar who saw that didn’t understand where he went wrong. Didn’t he say he would pick them up after lunch? The children and Fay sat in the back seat. Meanwhile, Oscar who drove the car himself today seemed to be sitting behind the wheel with an unhappy face.Do you consider me a personal driver?But not wanting to get into trouble with the weird ‘kids’ behind him, Oscar kept his mouth shut and drove the car slowly towards the hospital.So annoying actually! He was forced to go through this charade for the sake of his family and company. After only a few minutes of driving, Fay suddenly exclaimed. “Mr. Finch, we’re starving. Can’t we stop at a restaurant first? I think I’ll pass out when I get to the hospital if I have an empty stomach.”Oscar frowned. “I thought you had eaten at home?”“There’s nothing at home to eat. You know, I’m very poor. And these two kids keep eating away at my finances. I thought
“Alice, I know you are my Alice.” Mrs. Barney roared between happiness and sadness over their long loss. She hugged Fay tightly as if she was afraid she would slip away again.Fay felt her breath catch. She looked up at Mr. Barney who stood behind his wife, asking for an explanation even though there was no need for one at the moment. Shopia’s hugs and tears had already provided more answers than anything else.Eaton Barney nodded in agreement.“Congratulations Mommy, you’ve found your real mom and dad.” Mike couldn’t help but say something. His congratulations were more of a sarcasm than an expression of happiness. The show in front of him irritated the boy.Over there, Oscar Finch tried to keep a straight face. He had enough experience not to show his emotions if he didn’t want to be the target of the sharp tongues of Fay Willmer’s two twins or what everyone would now call Alice Barney.After Shopia’s crying subsided, Fay slowly tried to extricate herself from the woman’s embrace. F
The fifth day of the honeymoon. The sun had begun to rise by a quarter. Inside the spacious and luxurious bedroom, it was quiet. The sound of the hanging ornaments on the balcony blowing in the wind, tinkling faintly, was the only thing heard. On the floor of the room, men's and women's clothes were scattered. The scene was a little chaotic and ambiguous. Meanwhile, the bed was even messier. It was as if a storm had come into this room last night and then left after it was satisfied with destroying everything. Fay's eyelids twitched before opening. The first sight she saw was the exposed muscles of her chest. And the scent of last night's intimacy immediately entered her sense of smell. She became dazed for a moment. Every time she woke up for several mornings, she still felt unfamiliar with this scene. The man holding her, the smell of his body, the whole room, all new and unfamiliar. Fay wanted to refuse to believe that this was real, but she was helpless. She had become the prop
Cade Goldwin and Fay Willmer's wedding was closed to the public. It was held on a private island with no more than a hundred guests. Reporters from various mass media could only wait around the shoreline and harbor as dozens of helicopters took turns picking up guests. The Goldwin family even banned live coverage and did not permit a single media outlet. They would only run a story on the Goldwin Group's official web page.The person who was most relieved about it was Fay Willmer. She didn't care about her status and what people thought of her. But the Goldwin name was too heavy to carry. She felt it would be troublesome if she had to go everywhere with that special identity. With a closed marriage like this, her identity was only known to a handful of people.Besides a few relatives and close friends, there were also government officials and business associates as well as a few high-class families. From Fay's side, not having any close friends other than Callie who was now her sister

Callie rolled her eyeballs. "Idiot. Do I look like a bride-to-be?"Mrs. Goldwin's brow furrowed. Had Fay forgotten that she was the one getting married? Last night Cade had informed her that Fay had agreed to marry him. So, he told the Goldwin family to come for the wedding formalities. The celebration itself would be arranged later. Cade is worried that she might change her mind. So he planned to get the marriage book first.Fay scratched her head with a puzzled expression. "I think you do look like a bride-""Talking nonsense again? Aren't you guys getting married today? Don't say that you don't remember." Callie was a little annoyed by Fay's inaction in using her brain."Huh? I-I-" Fay looked at the children for someone to explain."Mommy, Daddy is done getting ready. But you haven't even taken a shower yet. Hurry up." Mika also looked impatient.Fay instantly panicked. "Who said I'm getting married? This must be a misunderstanding.""Mommy, didn't you agree to marry Daddy yesterda
Fay's brow furrowed. "Talk about it later. Come on, get up. I'll help." Cade held Fay's hand, he held it tightly. "Listen first. If the results are bad, I want you to promise me to take care of the kids. I might die. Who knows?""Don't talk nonsense!" Fay suddenly felt her throat tighten. It reminded her of Audrey before her death. "You're not going to die.""Everyone dies." Cade reminded."At least you won't die that quickly." Fay felt her tears about to fall. "Let's get up!""Promise me first-""Promise what?" Fay's voice almost broke. "You won't die. So I don't have to look after those two annoying kids."Cade silently glanced at the eyes that were starting to fog up. God, this was a bit much. He was quite aware that Fay would probably go berserk if she found out she had been played.He took Fay's trembling hand. "Promise to marry me if it's all right," Cade spoke the words carefully word by word, as if afraid she wouldn't hear him.The two kids in the back snickered silently. Da
Fay didn't want to see Cade, but the children whined and kept insisting. She couldn't stand hearing the whining of a child. Reluctantly she went too to the man's room with two pairs of tiny hands dragging her along."I hope you guys aren't tricking me," Fay warned.Arriving at the room that Fay was familiar with having been trapped in all night, she saw Cade lying pale under the covers. His eyes were tightly closed. "Daddy's body is hot. Looks like a fever. Mommy check it." Mika knew that Fay suspected they had lied.Last night Mika and Mike slept in his father's room. In the morning Mike woke up to the feeling of his father's burning skin. When Mike tried to wake him up and ask how he was, all he got in response was a sigh. His father's eyes had opened a little, but then closed again and did not open again.Fay reluctantly touched the man's forehead. Just for a moment, she pulled her hand away again. It was really hot. Not a trick. But how is this? Was it because of the rain at Trix
Mike and Mika were still awake. They had eavesdropped on their grandmother and father's conversation earlier in the day, wondering when their father would have a serious conversation with Mommy.Mike curled his lips, defending his pride. "I'm not curious. I can confirm that Daddy will talk about their wedding plans.""But I am curious. I wonder if Mommy will blush when she says she agrees to marry Daddy." Mika giggled softly at the thought. That sounded interesting. Mike couldn't resist the temptation to take a peek."All right, let's go." Mike finally agreed.Mika gave a thumbs up, praising his brother's decision. The two walked hand in hand, sneaking along in the direction the two adults had gone.The door to the balcony was open, signaling that someone was out there. A cold breeze blew in, sweeping away the two small faces poking out silently from behind the shutters.There was only a long chair outside. There was no shadow of anyone. Both children were astonished. "Where are th
"Stop feeding me. I can do it myself." Fay kept saying that, but Cade also kept aiming the spoon filled with porridge at the girl's mouth. Fay wanted to dodge, but Cade had made a threat that made her ears turn red.Half an hour ago she was awakened by a warm touch on her lips. When Fay opened her eyes, a charming face was very close to her.Fay pushed. With just one hand. While her other hand, which turned out to be wearing an IV needle, was held by Cade."What are you doing?" Fay stammered.Cade's breath hit her face, making Fay dare not breathe air. She remembered this scent once upon a time."What do you think?" Cade smiled seductively.Fay was confused. "Stay away from me. You can't be impudent!" She then remembered her confession in front of Audrey's grave. Cade Goldwin must have heard it and become very bold."Even if I like you, that doesn't mean you can act impudent.""Even to your future wife?" Cade tilted his face. Still not moving away. His fingers even traced Fay's cheek,
Fay Willmer arrived in Trixie just before lunch. The friendly husband and wife offered her to stop by their house for lunch, but Fay quickly declined. She remembered a café near the park and planned to visit it.After a late lunch, the weather suddenly became gloomy. Fay went to the former house where she used to live with her parents. It had been taken over by an uncle because her father owed the family money. She stood for a long time in front of the small house with a patch of garden next to it, reminiscing for a while and then leaving.By evening, Fay felt very tired and intended to find an inn. She clearly remembered a few places and chose to walk to a small inn. After taking a shower, she remembered her cell phone and found that its battery had run out of power. It occurred to her that she might have caused a big commotion in Flyod by leaving without telling anyone. While her cell phone was unreachable. There would be many predictions. But Fay was too tired to think about it.
