Frankly speaking, they only identified Kathryn's identity based on the birthmark. Coincidences may not happen every day, yet this was too big of a coincidence to ignore.It would be to their benefit to run a maternity test to be extra sure.Savanna only realized this in hindsight. She had been too emotionally involved in handling Kathryn's matter previously.She looked at Krista and asked gently, "What do you think?"At the end of the day, it was Krista who had the final say. It was her daughter, after all.Krista, on the other hand, was only shocked momentarily.Now, a firm look settled in her eyes as she shook her head. "There's no need. I won't be wrong about my own daughter."She knew what it meant to go through with the maternity test.Plus, she had no clue if Kathryn was willing to accept her.Yet, it didn't matter whether she was willing. Going through with this maternity test would inevitably push her away. Savanna agreed with Krista not to go through with it.Aft
Susan was taken aback.In the midst of it, panic flickered in her eyes.It was so fast that Benjamin didn't notice it.He nodded in delight. "Yes. If everything goes well, she should be with us in no time."All these years, they had never given up looking for Kathryn.Their mother had no choice but to leave the tiny baby at the hospital entrance back then.They always thought she was still alive, but were unsure how life was for her.So, they never gave up searching for her."Oh, that's great! Who is she?" Susan asked with a smile.She looked delighted.Benjamin didn't share Kathryn's name and only said, "Let's wait for the results first."After all, years had passed.His mother, who had passed on, was the one who shared about his sister's scar.No one had seen it with their own eyes what the scar looked like. So, it was better to wait for the results.Years had passed. They had lost track of the number of disappointments they endured.They prayed to God not to let them
Women used their children to establish their positions among the wealthy. That way of thinking was merely a fool's dream.Many wealthy families had children with mothers of unfavorable status. These children never had mothers by their side.Marriages among the wealthy were always based on benefits.Relying on children to get what shouldn't be yours would leave one with nothing.The Albert family still allowed Kathryn to carry her baby. From where Susan stood, it seemed like they wanted to keep the baby but not the mother.She couldn't be bothered about the baby's existence. After all, she didn't need to raise it.Susan was busy scheming, oblivious to Benjamin's face gradually darkening by her side.She was still talking to herself, "Ben, you will help me, right? I'm not young anymore. It's time for me to get married."She couldn't no longer delay another second with Chris.Krista once guaranteed the Winchesters and Alberts would successfully join in matrimony.So, she placed
"That won't be necessary. I don't need it either." Krista was as blunt as a foot to the face at this point.Susan's face drained of color at the other side of the phone.She never thought Krista, who was abandoned by the Albert family, would straight up reject her.She had nothing to her name at this point. Would she want an ally on her side now?She could possibly return to the Albert family with the Winchesters' support.How could she be so oblivious to such a powerful ally?Krista said before Susan said anything else, "I'm busy. Goodbye."Beeps resounded through the phone.Petulance flicked in Susan's eyes.She gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turned white from the grip.What was an abandoned woman doing putting on airs?…Krista felt a sense of relief when she hung up.She was unwilling to reminisce about how she was in the same boat with that gang of thieves.They were fake. Yet, she put more pretenses than they did.What a joke she felt as she stared at her
"We didn't have an agreement," Chris argued.They didn't sign any agreement or contract. There was no paper trail for it."Exactly. It seems like whatever you say, goes."Chris was rendered speechless. He couldn't blame anyone but himself.He swore secretly to himself. He would never establish a verbal agreement with Kathryn for anything ever again.Now, there was no way to turn back on his word."It's my fault!"He explained himself in every way possible. Chris had no other way but to apologize.Kathryn was silent at this pointHe may have apologized. Yet, she still felt uneasy and didn't want to forgive him.She suffered too much that day, but he refused to see her.Chris sat behind her and scooped her into his embrace. "Okay, don't be sad anymore. I was thinking of you then …"Chris sighed as he explained.No one knew what he was thinking when he saw the examination reports at the hospital. His mind questioned what would happen to her if she no longer had him.No one d
"Tally is here. I …""Walk slowly," Chris reprimanded sternly.Kathryn was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she said arrogantly, "Don't raise your voice at me. I haven't forgiven you yet."Chris was rendered speechless.Her words had shunned him back to his place.When he finally snapped back into reality, Kathryn was nowhere in sight.Since last night, Frank had witnessed Chris sulking countless times.He couldn't help but stifle a laugh as he saw how helpless Chris was toward Kathryn.Chris was brewing in anger."That stupid girl!"She was getting bolder now.How could she not forgive him? What was she trying to do? Hold this over his head?Frank laughed. "Mrs. Albert had become quite a character this time.""And is that supposed to be a good thing? Can't you see that she is about to turn the world upside down?"Chris couldn't accept Frank's comment.He thought Kathryn's character was becoming a handful. His head couldn't help but throb.Frank replied, "It's better t
His comment didn't seem appropriate. What did he mean by "a devil in disguise?"Victor couldn't help but defend Tally over the phone. "You're biting the hand that fed you."If it weren't for Tally, your wife and baby would be spending Lloyd's money."Kathryn would have been starving if Lloyd wasn't in the picture.Tally supported his wife and baby for him. Yet, there wasn't a single good word for her from him. This was unacceptable.Chris asked, "Are you coming?""Of course, why wouldn't I? I'm coming now."Then, he hung up.Chris only realized something after hearing the beeping from the phone—why didn't he call Markus?Tally and Kathryn were only away from each other for a few days.Yet, they were inseparable and couldn't stop talking.Victor arrived an hour later and found them talking in hushed voices in the room.Victor saw the darkened look on Chris' face and asked, "Are you sure I can get her from the room?" Kathryn brought Tally into her room with Chris. Never in
Chris was already unhappy. Now, his face was more somber than ever."Kat, you shouldn't eat too much junk food like ice cream. You're pregnant."Tally heard Kathryn's comment about bland food and immediately remembered the Brookside Town shops from her transactions.Everything she ate was heavily seasoned.Hence, the food here tasted bland to her.The atmosphere in the dining hall became palpably cold after her thoughtless remark.Victor felt something was off. He cleared his throat and said to Tally, "Finish your food quickly. We have something to attend to.""What do we have?"Tally looked at Victor, perplexed.Tally continued before Victor could answer, "I want to go shopping with Kat."The baby was due soon. Kathryn would need to get baby supplies.Chris had prepared everything already. Yet, when they saw the supplies upstairs, they were decent but not up to their standards.A gloomy look painted Chris' face again.This time, Victor immediately noticed his displeasure.
