And that person, he was him...She honestly couldn't accept this reality!He couldn't be that kind of person, no, no, no... What made it even harder to accept was that he had forgotten this, forgotten her completely...Why didn't she continue losing her memory? Why use this method to make her remember this painful incident again?"Get out of here; I don't want to see anyone!"In the wedding hall, when photos of her wearing maternity clothes, going for prenatal checkups with her mother, and strolling in the park were displayed, all the memories that had long been buried surged back like a tidal wave...She felt her spirit was about to collapse!Her and him, and their child...o0oIn a private living room of a hospital belonging to the Forger conglomerateChris Desmond still hadn't changed out of his formal attire, though there was a hint of unrest he couldn't control. But now, who had the mood to think about those things? He stood in front of a window, one hand holding a cigarette, the
Leaving the living room and returning to Ember Canen's hospital room, Chris Desmond stood outside for a long time without entering. He was afraid that she might get agitated like before.In reality, he didn't know how to comfort her. He feared that saying something might inadvertently hurt her even more.It was better to wait until she calmed down before talking.Mrs. Canen pushed the door to the hospital room open, and Chris Desmond, along with Fiona Forger, led Tiffany back from washing her face. Upon seeing them, Mr. Canen welcomed them, "Tiffany..."Unlike other days, Tiffany didn't rush into her grandfather's arms. She only opened her teary eyes, looking at Chris Desmond with red, swollen eyes, "Brother-in-law..."As that word slipped out, tears started falling again..."Tiffany, why are you crying?"Chris Desmond had always been fond of this cute and well-behaved little girl. Initially, it was because she was Ember's sister, and now, even after knowing the truth, he still couldn
Finally, she succeeded in making Chris hate her completely!He would surely never pay any attention to her again in his lifetime!Before doing this, hadn't she already prepared herself mentally?Why was her heart hurting so much now?She was the wrong person, so bad that even Chris hated her!Tears blurred her vision gradually until she couldn't see anything anymore!Her heart was in so much pain, so much pain!Had she done something wrong? Wrong?She couldn't think anymore; the agony was spreading through every cell, making her unable to stand steadily. The handbag in her hand fell to the ground, and she collapsed, burying her face between her knees, letting tears fall silently...She didn't dare to cry out loud, or more accurately, and she cried quietly. Her tears quickly formed a small puddle on the floor..."Hey, are you okay?""Hey, are you feeling well?"Passersby and nurses who saw her crying so miserably came over to ask.But none of the voices were the ones she wanted to hear
Mrs. Robinson walked in, and upon seeing Norman Desmond, she appeared slightly surprised. "Norman, why are you here?"Furthermore, he was embracing her daughter so intimately. This was..."Mom, he just happened to pass by and saw me entering the hospital, so he came to visit." Liliana Forger explained casually, then turned to him and spoke lowly, "You can go now." At this point, there was no need to argue anymore!He understood her words and removed his hands from her.The man who had followed Mrs. Robinson placed a bouquet on the bedside table and then left.Knowing that her daughter had a good relationship with the Desmond family, Mrs. Robinson didn't chase him away but instead looked at her daughter..."Liliana, what happened after all? Dr. Tagert said about the miscarriage, and who is that man?" As she spoke the latter part of the sentence, her teeth clenched.And the man who made her daughter pregnant still stood behind her, not uttering a word from beginning to end.Not that he
Mr. Canen was briefly stunned before he understood. His face turned serious, his voice almost grinding his teeth as he said, "In this lifetime, never let your father meet that guy. Otherwise, I will surely kill him."No father could forgive a man who had violated his daughter, no matter the reason."Dad..." Ember Canen looked at her father with surprise, wondering what he would do if he knew the truth."If... if that person is...""Alright, rest for a while," Mrs. Canen interrupted. Why keep mentioning that scum's name? It made her uncomfortable just hearing it.Besides, what if her daughter got upset again? Her emotional recovery had been fragile."Mom...""Your mother is right. Rest for now. That scoundrel will face punishment sooner or later." Mr. Canen worried about his daughter's state of mind as well.Ember Canen opened her mouth several times but didn't say anything further, quietly lying down. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with
So where did he go?She looked around and then headed toward the study on the first floor. The door wasn't locked. She stood at the doorway and could see his figure standing there. His face was turned towards the window, and he held a serious conversation on the phone, "Get to the point!" After a while, Chris Desmond seemed frustrated and rubbed his forehead."In such a short time, you told me to review everything from seven years ago. I couldn't do it. But I found out that the person who leaked the pictures of her getting a pregnancy check was a girl named Kitty.""Kisty?" Chris Desmond repeated the name, trying to figure out the connection between her and Ember.But why would Kisty have those pictures? Moreover, why would she give them to Liliana Forger?"If correctly, Kisty is now the widow of the former CEO of the Phoenix Feather Group, Jack. I'm sure you're not unfamiliar with that."Investigate her; find out how she got those pictures. Three days!" He growled."Two weeks.""Thre
It's really... Ember Canen, what are you afraid of? He won't hurt you!She kept reassuring herself not to be afraid, not to be scared. This time, she couldn't let things go like the last time. The final step was coming, and she mustn't push him away.Ten minutes later, Chris Desmond emerged from the bathroom. His upper body was bare, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. A few droplets of water still clung to his robust and muscular physique. As he saw the petite, blushing face of the girl sitting by the edge of the bed, his deep black pupils seemed to shine.His adorable wife was waiting for him; what else could be more anticipated than this?His heated gaze made Ember Canen's face even hotter as if she was being set ablaze."Let me dry my hair before I get into bed." She bit her lip and gave the order before he climbed onto the bed. "Sure, let me help." He sat on the edge of the bed and handed her the hairdryer from earlier, yet to be turned off.She obediently knelt on t
Speaking a few words, she left them to discuss while she went to the small villa to find Fiona.Fiona Forger had received the news and was already waiting in the flower garden. Upon hearing the maid reporting that Ember had arrived, she hastily adjusted her dress and stood up.The maid noticed her actions and couldn't help but worry. If the young master were to see her like this, he would surely scold her again. Of course, the ones doing the scolding were not the wives but them. Fortunately, the young master had already arrived at the company this morning."Ember, come over here and have some tea." As soon as she saw her, Fiona Forger quickly pulled her over to sit under the shade of an umbrella."Slow down, Sister." Ember Canen looked at her slightly protruding belly, her expression somewhat worried."It's fine; the little princess in my house is very healthy." Mrs. Desmond was not at all concerned, but her words were valid. The little one had already endured a calamity with them, de
"What?" She opened her eyes and turned around, her clear gaze meeting his deep one."I'm sorry. And... thank you.""I love you."Between them, there was no need for words like "sorry" and "thank you.""I love you too." His words had barely finished when his warm lips sealed hers, and in his heart, he silently vowed to love her even more, erasing any lingering hurt and scars she had endured.o0oOn their wedding night, though late, it finally arrived.This was destined to be a gentle and dreamy night, a night he had been waiting for so long.He was careful and tender to the extreme when treating this girl he loved and cherished.And she, her restless heart, couldn't hide her anticipation.The water in the bathtub rippled incessantly due to their late-night intimate combination.In the warm bedroom, the curtain lightly swayed in the night breeze."Still hurting?"He held her and pityingly kissed her sweat-drenched long hair.Ember Canen shook her head, her small, blushing face brimming
"Yes." Brad reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to him."You can go back now. Please help me lock up on your way." Holding the pack of cigarettes, he pulled one out and lit it."Alright." Brad knew that, at this moment, his boss didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. The mess in the office could only be cleaned up by the cleaning staff tomorrow.He silently left, casually closing the office door behind him.Chris Desmond picked up his mobile phone, now turned off due to the earlier throw. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked to the window and looked down at the mesmerizing night scene below. However, he had no mood to appreciate it.When the call connected, he exhaled a puff of smoke and decisively said, "Immediately arrange for someone to go to Malaysia. I want to know her exact location within two hours."They couldn't hide her away like this, preventing him from meeting her. If there were any issues or requests, they should tell him. He would d
The whole family came to the house only to leave empty-handed. In the end, everyone went their own way.Originally, Damian Desmond intended to take both mother and child home before heading to the company. However, both insisted that he go to the company, so he could only lead them along.Upon reaching the office on the top floor, Mr. Desmond went to work while Mrs. Desmond comfortably lay on the sofa reading a comic. Oh, not the 18+ type, but a parenting comic.Young Mr. Forger was sitting at the desk chatting with his father for a while, but he got bored and ran to the IT room on the 19th floor to play.The people in the IT room saw the young prince arrive and hurriedly welcomed him, offering various drinks and breakfast with care.After playing for more than two hours, young Mr. Forger finally got up lazily when the upper floor called to remind him to come to eat."Young prince, if the CEO finds out you're playing like this, we..."There would be no place to hide!But would they da
But family members, at least, should be notified, right?Speaking of family, she had yet to tell her mother. She should find an opportunity to talk to her.She reclined back onto the bed, tossing and turning for a while without being able to sleep.So, she picked up her phone again and went online. When Jacky Forger returned to the room and saw her still messing with her phone, he snatched it away and placed it on the bedside table."Go to sleep." "And you? Are you still busy?"It was almost midnight."Tomorrow, I have to go to Lyon for a trip. Do you want to come with me?"Liliana usually handled the matters over there, so now she suddenly mentioned her unsuitable physical condition as an excuse. He would still have to go there to take over the work, conveniently monitoring the ongoing projects' progress."Do you want to take me out?""If you say you want to, then sure."They were a married couple, yet he didn't have much free time for her. Their wedding had been delayed, and they di
She discreetly glanced at him and saw that he was still motionless, with an unpleasant and frightening expression on his face.If this had been in the past, seeing him like this would have made her legs tremble and unsteady. Even though they had been living together for a while, looking at him still sent shivers down her spine.Carefully approaching, she bent her back to lift the tea tray, but she heard him speak..."Come here!"These were just two simple words, yet they held a power that made others hesitate.She let out a sigh and obediently walked over. Before she even reached his side, he stood up and pulled her towards him. He used force to press her onto the sofa, and before she could react, his entire body was pressing down on her."Jacky..." Angela Zylian let out a cry. Her chin was held and turned towards him; his lips, carrying the faint scent of cigarettes, were pressed tightly against hers.She knew he was angry. From his actions, she could sense the invisible anger he was
As soon as Mrs. Robinson asked this question, Angela Zylian froze. She thought they knew the situation, but being asked like this caught her off guard. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Ultimately, under Mrs. Robinson's scrutinizing gaze, she decided to tell the truth. "Previously, we had a... romantic relationship...""And now?" Mrs. Robinson had already guessed the answer to this question. There was nothing new here. What she wanted to know was the current status.After all, they hadn't been living together before.A couple of times, Mrs. Robinson and Liliana had been to her brother's apartment, but they had never seen any trace of a girl."Now she's my wife. Any objections?" A familiar voice replaced Angela Zylian's answer.Jacky Forger had returned home at some point. Holding a document folder and a freshly removed vest, he stood at the living room entrance. His casual gaze swept over his mother and sister. "Why didn't you let me know before coming?"When his mother ha
One of the reasons Angela Zylian came to France was because Jacky needed an assistant. However, she could look for another job if he didn't need her."Don't you like this kind of life?" He set his coffee cup down, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then leisurely asked."Not necessarily."Being at home every day, taking care of household chores, and cooking for him made her happy, but there wasn't much to do with just the two of them at home.Most of her time was spent reading books or daydreaming, which was becoming monotonous."Let's talk about work later." He stood up and proposed a different idea to her. "If you're bored, consider furthering your studies."At any rate, going to school was better than going out to find a job where she might attract unwanted attention from other men. While there were undoubtedly men at school, the situation was much simpler overall.After CEO Forger approved her plan to continue her education, Angela Zylian eagerly focused on her career.Going back
In the RoomTiffany sat on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth as she looked at her mother, then glanced at her "sister," her small mouth sealed..."Brother-in-law said he's the father, so... who is the real father, after all?""Tiffany, come here." Mrs. Canen waved her hand, and Tiffany obediently hopped off the bed and ran to her.Taking a deep breath to regulate her emotions, Mrs. Canen looked at the little girl and asked..."Tiffany, if you had another father like your brother-in-law, would you like that?"Following her thoughts, the little girl nodded."Then let's start telling the old stories..."o0oThe heavy rain in Singapore had finally stopped, but November in Paris brought continuous drizzles.Though she wasn't going to work, Angela Zylian woke up early daily to prepare breakfast for him.Their married life had officially begun, and everything else felt new apart from becoming more familiar with each other's bodies.During this period, they were trying to adapt to eac
She admitted it with her mouth, causing a sharp, intense pain to surge through his chest, a pain so fierce that it numbed his heart and soul.No wonder every time she was stimulated to the point of regaining her memory, she looked at him with so much fear, tears streaming down her face...So, this was the truth.So, that wretched, damn person was him. Like a madman, he pounded his hands on the steering wheel several times, finally burying his face in it.Why did this foolish woman forgive him? Why couldn't she open her mouth and say something to him?Why was she so foolish?"Chris, I..."She reached out to him, but the man who had buried his face in the steering wheel suddenly lifted his head, looking at her with eyes blurred by her tears, staring at that familiar face...Why?Why was it him?He got out of the car and circled to help her open the car door, wordlessly pulling her out."Wait outside for a while."Saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he got back in the car, sta
