"Damn it! How did you guess that so easily?" Callie threw a pillow at Fay.Fay deftly dodged as she said, "Because people in love look stupid!"Once Fay found Callie sulking on the phone because Frans kept delaying her return. Callie had everything. Nothing would make her happier than Frans' return.Fay became impatient to meet the mysterious man. Callie never wanted to show her Frans' picture and it was often the source of small arguments between them.Meanwhile, after visiting Mika's room and only finding her children playing cards with Fay, Cade went to his study. Sitting in his chair, the man did nothing for a while. His brow furrowed as he recalled the events of this afternoon. How shocking was the girl's reaction? She even threatened to kill Cade if he ignored Mike and Mika as if they were children born to him.As far as Cade could remember, no one had ever dared to openly threaten him. Surprisingly, Fay's threats didn't anger him. He was just a little annoyed by the drama mom
"Don't bother explaining. I think he knows that I was just joking yesterday. You're the one who took it seriously. If Frans loves you, he'll come back...." Fay didn't have time to finish her sentence, her mouth was hastily gagged."Fay!" Callie's eyes were full of warning. A red tinge immediately spread across both cheeks.Everyone around the table was immediately interested. Everyone tried to guess.Mrs. Goldwin's delicate eyebrows shot up. Before she could move her mouth, Mike had already spoken."Auntie, did Mr. Howard propose to you?"Mika's clear round eyes widened. "Does this mean there will be a wedding ceremony soon?""Little ones don't talk!" Callie was overwhelmed by all the stares directed at her. She did her best to avoid confronting them."No wonder there's so much excitement." Mrs. Goldwin's smile was meaningful."Mother-""Mr. Howard is not romantic at all. Is it appropriate for him to propose to Miss Goldwin in such a simple way? He should have arranged a candlelit di
"You're overconfident, Kid." Handy Finch reprimanded Mike. The boy often looked at him with obvious distaste every time they met at the Barney family residence. As cute and cuddly as they were, Mike and Mika also created some worries for Finch. He had thought he would be able to marry Fay and felt that these two children would be very difficult to deal with."Is Mr. Finch afraid of this challenge?" Now it was Mika who spoke."I don't listen to what the children say." Handy Finch asserted."I think you are indeed afraid, Mr. Finch. Isn't this so easy? If you can get inside without being kicked out, I'll give you all the stuff I just bought." Now Fay became excited. Even though it was Mike who gave the challenge, she believed that the big lady Goldwin would support her. Wouldn't it be fun to see this couple humiliated in front of a crowd? They certainly deserve it.But some weren't too happy to hear Fay's excited words. Mrs. Goldwin had gone to the trouble of picking out all the goodi
"Are you sure Mommy wants to see it? But you can't take it. Daddy will be very angry." Mike tried to remind her."Just give me the number. I know what I'm doing." Fay reassured both kids.Mike glanced at Mika. The little girl whispered a combination of numbers into Fay's ear."Do you remember?" said Mika while watching Fay who seemed to be trying to memorize.Fay nodded and repeated the series of numbers Mika had given her.The girl gave a thumbs up as a sign that Fay had memorized it correctly."Are you sure that your daddy is in the study? I'd better take a look over there two-""No need. Daddy is in his study and looks very busy. He'll probably only come out of there at dinner time." Mika and Mike scrambled to block Fay's move to check.Fay frowned for a moment. But then said, "Then you guys keep watch. Let me know when your father comes out of his study.""Okay." Both children said yes in unison.Mike suddenly remembered. "Mommy, one second. Lend me your cell phone. I'll play for
Cade wasn't too sure about Fay's idea. But he listened too. It was quite nice to see Fay not showing her current hostility."Do you have any paper?" Fay went back inside, looking around the room.Cade had no idea what Fay might do."In the bottom drawer," Cade informed, pointing at the low desk.Fay immediately got what she wanted. She also grabbed a pen and started writing in big letters."SOS. We're trapped upstairs in Flyod."Fay wrote on and on."What are you going to do with those papers?" Cade tried to guess and his forehead furrowed at the absurd thought. "You're going to spread them out on the road down there?""Isn't that a brilliant idea?" Fay seemed to be getting more and more excited about writing letters on paper.Cade touched his temple and felt a little dizzy. This was ridiculous. "More than half of Axton knows that the person living upstairs in Floyd is me. You want to invite all the reporters here and cover the news of our rescue?"Huh?! Fay's writing movements came
"Why didn't you tell me you had snacks here?" Fay grabbed a large bag from the top of the couch while scolding Cade.She looked into the bag and her eyes lit up even brighter. There were crisps, biscuits, and various other snacks. This was better than a real dinner. Although she had to work a little harder to finish them all to be full enough. Well, snacks did have little carbohydrate composition that allowed for a feeling of fullness.Happily, Fay clutched the large bag like a treasure. While at the other end of the sofa, Cade saw the few seconds scene and heard Fay's grumbling, he did not notice the plastic bag either. As far as he knew, it wasn't there when he came home today. As Fay intended to find a comfortable place to enjoy her snack, she quickly remembered. Turning to Cade, Fay asked the man, "Do you want some too? I can give you some."Normally Fay would not be so generous as to share her treasures. But this time, the situation was different; they were cooped up, and Cade
Cade raised an eyebrow at Fay's confident remark.Yeah, I have to admit that you looked really beautiful last night. Cade only muttered that in his mind."Why don't you check it out?" Cade reminded."Check what?" Fay looked dazed.Cade frowned. This girl, is she that innocent?"Some kind of proof that something happened between us.""What kind of proof? It's obvious that you hugged me." Fay insisted on her own opinion."That's not proof. And it's obvious that it was you who hugged me." Cade couldn't accept Fay's baseless words. "I can't believe you're that innocent. You've probably read or watched-""I don't watch disgusting movies." Fay interrupted quickly. Her cheeks flushed slightly. To be honest, she had seen a movie like that, but by accident. Callie set her up. That was so-so embarrassing."Really?" Cade gave her a probing look. He had caught that red tinge."Of course it is." Fay's voice rose. Remembering that scene in the movie still made Fay embarrassed. She jerked her hand f
Doctor Leight was immediately called to Flyod. The children were already crying before the examination. They were worried about Fay and Cade was busy soothing them.By then Fay had regained consciousness and started complaining of stomach pains. She could hear the doctor talking to Cade who recommended that Fay be taken to the hospital for a more intensive examination. "Just give me some medicine. I don't want to go to the hospital." Fay said weakly. In her mind, only people with severe illnesses close to death needed to go to the hospital.It was just a stomach ache, right?An attack of excruciating pain came again. Fay gritted her teeth against the pain. She didn't want people to think she had a severe illness. But she couldn't help her trembling body and the sweat seeping out of her pores.Cade came closer, touching Fay's forehead. It was hot. He saw that Fay was in great pain.Fay was closing her eyes. When the touch of Cade's hand landed on her skin, she somehow felt a little co
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.
