Rosalynn’s POV.

“What did you just say?” Nolan’s face went blank with confusion, and he stammered his question.

I glanced down at the bag I had dropped on the floor, realizing that I had just lost my composure. After placing the bag on the table, I collected myself and sat down before clearing my throat and replying, “Ryan is not my son!”

Since yesterday, I had been troubled by Nolan’s words. I tossed and turned all night, afraid that Hailey might also misunderstand that I was treating the two children differently. But it seemed Nolan had never mentioned me to Hailey, and her cheerful expression when she saw me today showed she wasn’t upset with me.

That’s good; by not mentioning me, he was protecting my image in Hailey’s eyes.

“So the man who was close to you at the party was David Wilson, your brother?” Nolan sat still, staring at me, and after a while, his lips finally moved again.

I glared at him and crossed my arms defensively, “Close? We’re siblings; can’t we be near each other?

    Rosalynn’s POV.Early in the morning, I stood alone in the middle of a cemetery in San Francisco. Clutching a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, I bowed my head and gazed at the image of the man with a radiant smile etched on the tombstone. My heart tightened, and I felt my eyes burn with unshed tears.Carved into the stone were the words “Liam Carpenter,” aged 25.After receiving Liam’s body, the Carpenter family decided to bring him back to his hometown. At that time, I was undergoing treatment in the hospital and had a premature birth due to a malicious assault. The absurdity of the situation was that Nolan kept a constant watch over me as if he feared I would escape, yet he still left an opening for a stranger to attack me.The outcome of his so-called protection was that my right arm was nearly paralyzed, and he failed to investigate the truth based on the attacker’s testimony.I couldn’t fathom what was going through his mind. He was always so sharp in the business world, yet anyt

    Rosalynn’s POV.We stopped in front of a dilapidated one-story house not far from the convenience store. I got out and knocked on the door, followed by the man named Mark, who was being restrained by my bodyguards.A woman quickly came to the door. She had a kind demeanor, but her eyes held a deep, lingering sadness and widened in surprise upon seeing me. I could tell she was Mark's wife.Upon seeing Mark in this situation, she immediately dropped to her knees and grabbed the hem of my dress, pleading incessantly, "Please, tell me what my husband has done wrong this time? Please, let him go."I was taken aback by her reaction and quickly helped her to her feet. "Ma'am, I just want to talk to your family. May we come inside?"Her eyes were filled with suspicion as she looked at me and then at Mark. After a moment, she allowed me to help her up and gestured for me to come inside.It seemed this scene was so familiar to her that it had become almost instinctual. But I had investigated Ma

I knew Nolan had a presidential suite on the top floor of the JW Kingston hotel; I just needed him to give me the password to get inside.As we exited the elevator, he started kissing along the side of my face and held me tightly. His hot breath on my skin made me feel flushed.“Nolan, stop messing around.” I pushed his head away after he nibbled on my earlobe.Reaching Nolan's room, I shook him gently and asked, "Hey, what's the room password?"This damned man didn’t answer my question. Instead, he leaned down to bite my lower lip, attempting to kiss me again. Earlier, I had barely managed to push him away to catch my breath, but the drug was taking stronger effect as he clung to my waist.“Damn it!” I lightly tapped his head as he hugged me from behind.

Immediately after, I grabbed Christine's arms and pushed her body, “What the hell are you doing?” I huffed.She was crying with tears streaming down her eyes and her eyes were completely red, but I had been feeling this annoying for a long time.Christine tried to grab my arm even though I pushed her out of the room, “Nolan, do you know what you're doing? We made an appointment last night, but you went to sleep with another woman. She finally…”While scolding me, she pointed at Rosalynn who was sitting up on the bed. Only when her eyes clearly saw Rosalynn did she shut her mouth and her expression revealed an unacceptable look.“That bitch Rosalynn!” She stomped her feet and tried to rush towards the bed, but I quickly grabbed her.Not only was she trembling, but even I felt confused when I saw Christine's presence here. I knew what I was afraid of, what Rosalynn would think about Christine's

My eyes looked toward the closed piano box, and a ray of pain gently passed through my heart, making the bridge of my nose sting.Anne patted my shoulder and her warm voice rang out, “Mr. Nolan always cleaned this piano himself without anyone touching it, not even Hailey.”“I know that. A few days ago, Hailey revealed it to me.” I chuckled and sat up straight, holding Anne's hand tightly.When she looked at my face again, tears welled up in her eyes and she pursed her lips to control her choking, “Luckily you're alive and well, Rosa.

    One year later.In London.“Hailey, Ryan, stop running around!”“It’s raining. Hurry up and get inside!”I sipped on my hot tea and watched Marie trying to keep the two kids in line. As I saw the rain splashing against the clear glass window, I thought about getting up to fetch an umbrella for them, but Nolan stopped me.“Just relax, I already gave them one. Hailey will come inside soon—she hates getting wet in the rain.” He set a plate of pastries in front of me and sat down beside me.Then, he rested his head against my large, round belly and playfully asked, “Son, have you been making mommy tired today?”That’s right, I was nine months pregnant, and the little one inside me was a boy. Every night, I eagerly awaited his arrival, imagining his face and thinking he would probably look just like his dad, Nolan. The doctor said my due date was approaching soon, so I had to be careful with every move I made.I ran my fingers through Nolan’s soft, short hair, teasingly saying, “I think yo

    Rosalynn’s POV.A musty smell enveloped me as I slowly opened my eyes, realizing I was tied up. My heart skipped a beat when I remembered my daughter.Just then, something soft brushed against me. I looked down and saw Hailey lying next to me, fast asleep. Relief washed over me, but my head still throbbed, likely from the lingering effects of the sedative.I sat up and scanned the room. It was clear—we’d been kidnapped.But who would dare pull this off so close to Nolan’s estate? And how did they slip past Alex’s guard?“You’re awake, huh?” A woman’s voice echoed through the room as the door to this dingy warehouse creaked open.Being a pianist, I was more sensitive to sounds than most, and my memory of voices was sharp. I recognized her immediately without needing to look, “Christine Watson. You should be locked up in the police station awaiting trial. How did you escape?”Christine let out a loud, deranged laugh, “If I told you Nolan had mercy on me and didn’t hand me over to the po

    At the Watson family mansion.Nolan's POV.“What the hell are you doing? Let my father go. Do you have an arrest warrant, or are you just barging into our home?”As I stepped into the Watson family's grand hall, Christine’s screams echoed loudly. She showed her sharp and aggressive side in front of the officers arresting Kyle. That sweet, gentle expression of hers, it seemed, only ever appeared when she was with me.The moment she saw me, Christine’s eyes lit up as if she had found a savior. She rushed over to me and pleaded, “Nolan, please! There must be some mistake. Tell them to release my father.”I pulled my hand away, not hiding the annoyance on my face, “Enough, Christine.”“What?” She froze, looking at me with confusion in her eyes, “What do you mean?”The officer beside me presented the arrest warrant and said firmly, “Mr. Kyle Watson is suspected of orchestrating the fire at the Kingston mansion 27 years ago. And Miss Christine Watson, you are believed to be an accomplice fo
