Immediately after, a shadow cast over.
Two extremely handsome men appeared at the door of the private room. One man was rocking a white shirt, top button open, his features exquisitely handsome with an evil yet beautiful smile on his face. The other guy had a completely opposite vibe—handsome, sharp features, thin lips tightly pursed, revealing a cold demeanor. Yurika forgot to breathe, staring at them like they were deities.
Then, something incredible caught her eye. She widened her eyes, grabbed Samantha, and excitedly exclaimed, "Sammie, look, he looks exactly like your son! Could he be your son's daddy?"
As soon as the words fell, the temperature around them plummeted to freezing point. Ethan's face turned extremely dark, giving Samantha a cold stare.
"He... hehe..." Samantha chuckled awkwardly, apologizing, "Mr. Steele, I'm sorry. My friend has no filter in her words. Let me apologize on her behalf."
Her words made Noah's back stiffen su
Yurika followed Samantha to the doorstep. All the way, she kept nagging, "Sammie, are you really not moving in with me?"Samantha nodded firmly, "Really not! You just had a quarrel with Karen. If I move out now, what would she think? Anyway, we are best friends, and I don't want our relationship to be affected because of Justin."Seeing her determination, Yurika could only choose to give up. Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, the front door opened. Karen stood there in pajamas, smiling gently when she saw them, "Sammie, you're back? Yurika, you're here too! Do you want to come in and sit?" While speaking, there was no change in her facial expression. It seemed like there was no estrangement due to the recent events.Seeing her smile, Yurika felt uncomfortable, finding it hypocritical. The desire to tear off her hypocritical mask was particularly strong."No need, I'm moving in with you guys tomorrow." This statement stunned both Samantha and Karen.
The next day, Ethan woke up with a pounding headache, a classic hangover feeling like his head was about to explode. Leaning against the bedpost, he closed his eyes and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.At that moment, the door creaked open, and in popped Alexander's little head, sweetly smiling at Ethan, "Daddy, are you awake?"Ethan opened his eyes, spotted Alexander, and his gaze softened unconsciously. He couldn't help but wave to him.Alexander strolled in with a cup of tea, "Daddy, I heard from the butler that you got drunk last night. So, I specially made this tea for you. Drink it quickly, and your head won't hurt anymore."Whenever Mommy came back from a night out, he would prepare peppermint tea in advance at home.Surprised, Ethan looked at him, "Since when did you know how to make tea?"Alexander pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes bright, "For Daddy, I learned it on purpose."Ethan's heart suddenly warmed, softenin
Ethan didn't ask questions, stood up, and walked upstairs, entrusting Alexander to Kilian and Ellena.Anna followed Liam upstairs and locked the study door. Without wasting any time, she took out her phone, opened the photos, and got straight to the point, "Who is this woman? Why is she in this house?"Ethan began to speak, but Anna anticipated his response, cutting him off, "Don't tell me she's the cook! I had someone investigate her. She's Suzy's half-sister from the same father but different mother. Four years ago, she got pregnant out of wedlock and was kicked out of the Miller family."Ethan's pupils sharply contracted, and a coldness appeared in his narrow eyes upon hearing this. Learning that they had privately investigated Samantha triggered an inexplicable anger within him.Sensing his anger, Anna was momentarily stunned, a mix of shock and awe rising within her.To her surprise, her son was angry at her for a woman other than Jessica. Thi
In the hospital room, after an emotional moment with three generations of family members, Grandpa Miller grabbed Samantha's hand and happily said, "Sammie, do you have time tomorrow?"Samantha guessed his intention and asked, "What do you want to do?"Grandpa Miller grinned and said, "Grandpa asked a friend to find a man for you. He may not be wealthy, but he looks handsome, has a stable job, and a steady income. Go meet him tomorrow.""Grandpa..." Samantha helplessly exclaimed.Grandpa Miller's eyes turned red, and he pretended to wipe away tears, saying, "I am already old, and I may not have many days left. The biggest wish of my life is to see you settle down and have someone take care of you. This way, even if I die, I can rest in peace."For these four years, he had been constantly thinking of his granddaughter.If it weren't for this belief supporting him, he would have gone to find his wife long ago."If I can't see my precious granddaughter settle down, I really can't die in p
Alexander played wildly all day, and on the way back, he fell asleep in the car.Ethan gently carried him back to the room and covered him with a blanket.After returning to his own room, Ethan took a shower and lay in bed, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.Unable to resist, he picked up his phone and checked it.Empty.No messages.He tossed the phone away disappointedly, feeling inexplicably irritated, not even sure what he was expecting.After a while, the phone 'dinged' with a sound.He picked up the phone at the fastest speed and checked the message.It was an advertising message.The anger in his heart flared up even more.He opened Whatsapp, found Samantha's cha
Starbucks.As it was still morning, the café wasn't crowded. Samantha quickly spotted the man sitting by the window, wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He held a bouquet of roses, had short hair, a slender figure, and was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, giving the impression of fragility, like someone who might run away with the wind.When Samantha saw him, he also noticed her. A hint of amazement was clearly visible in his eyes. Adjusting his tie, he stood up to greet her, offering the bouquet of roses, "This is a gift for our first meeting. I didn't know what women like, and the salesperson said women like roses, so I bought roses, hoping you'd like them."Samantha did not reach out to take the roses. Instead, she asked tactfully, "Do you know the meaning of roses?"The man shook his head.Samantha smiled and said, "The meaning of r
Ethan's chest felt like it was set on fire.Burning all the way to his ears.He pushed Samantha away, suppressing the chaotic thoughts, and coolly uttered three words, "You're not worthy."Without looking back, he walked away.Leaving Samantha with a cold and aloof figure.But only he knew that his thoughts were already in disarray, and deep inside, there was an imperceptible sense of joy.However, Samantha had no intention of letting him go. She caught up, took his hand, and smiled, "Let me tell you, today I was planning to have coffee with Aaron, then watch a movie, have lunch, take a stroll in the afternoon, and after dinner, take another walk before heading back. You've suddenly disrupted all my plans. If you don't accompany me, I won't let you leave."Ethan didn't stop walking, firmly refusing, "Impossible."Samantha quickly explained, "Even if you don't agree to be my boyfriend, you should at least go through today's plans and activities with me, right?"Ethan paused and looked
Sarah sat on the side, watching as Suzy's face twisted into a terrifying grimace. Sarah crouched down, picked up the phone that had been thrown to the ground, and opened it.Her eyes squinted suddenly, almost biting her silver teeth.With a fierce expression, she said, "If I had known it would be like this, I should have killed her and her damn mother together back then."Suzy, with red eyes, shed tears continuously."Samantha did it on purpose. She doesn't want me to be happy, wants to snatch my man away. Otherwise, with so many men in the world, why does she have to seduce my man?"Sarah came over to Suzy's side, gently patting her back to comfort her."Don't get angry! Leave it to me!"After saying that, she took a screens
After the family recognized each other, Charlotte, Alexander, and Noah returned to Chelsea Creek. Elliot and Grandpa Miller stayed at home. After a bit of fussing, the three kids finally fell asleep. Samantha sat by the bedside, gently stroking their little heads, her heart filled to the brim with an unprecedented sense of contentment. After watching for a while, Samantha bent down and kissed each of them on the forehead before reluctantly leaving the room. Ethan leaned against the corridor wall, his long legs elegantly crossed, his eyes fixed on her without blinking. Seeing her coming out, he strode over. "Wanna talk?" he asked. Samantha nodded in agreement. The two returned to the room. Ethan hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her neck, and said hoarsely, "Samantha, let's get married!" The sudden proposal left Samantha somewhat bewildered. She stiffened and asked, "Why do you want to marry me? Because I'm the mother of your three children?" If it was just because
Hearing their tearful words, Samantha's heart ached. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Alex sobbed, "Mommy, you are our biological mother." Samantha had always known that they wanted her to be their biological mother, but she didn't take their words seriously, thinking they just missed her. She said gently, "Silly children, even though I'm not your biological mother, I've always treated you as my own." Especially after finding out that Elliot was Suzy's son, and considering the ominous situation regarding Alex and Noah's birth mother, she cherished them even more. From then on, she no longer had any concerns about interacting with them as she did before. Alex let go of her and hurriedly explained, "No, you are our biological mother in terms of blood relationship." Samantha asked puzzled, "Who told you that?" She didn't remember giving birth to a pair of twin sons. Noah said, "Fath
After the meal, Samantha couldn't wait to go home. She retrieved her phone from her bag and opened the recording app.Soon, Suzy's voice filled the room:"How could you be with Samantha?""I don't care why you're with Samantha. If you dare to tell her about our relationship, I won't be polite to you.""...""Stop pretending. You know what I'm talking about! If you dare to reveal our relationship, I will make sure you have nowhere to hide. I've killed your father, and I won't hesitate to kill you too.""It's best if you don't acknowledge me! Remember what you said. I'm not your mother, and you're not my son. We are two strangers who don't know each other. If our relationship is discovered by others, I will make sure you find your father in hell soon, and Samantha will be in trouble again."The recording ended.The phone fell silent.Samantha widened her eyes in disbelief, her face
The mother and sons hugged each other tenderly for a while before Alex and Noah pulled Samantha inside.Confused, Samantha turned to Ethan and asked, "What's going on? Is my case resolved? Am I innocent?"Ethan remained silent, sitting on the sofa with a cold expression.Alex held Samantha's hand and explained, "Mommy, do you know how much effort Daddy put in to save you? He went to great lengths to get the dashcam from Albert and then found the programmer who deleted the records, forcing the programmer to recover the records for that day. That's how you were released without charges. Otherwise, you would still be locked up in detention."Surprised, Samantha looked at Ethan, unable to believe that he had actually saved her.She moved her lips slightly and slowly uttered two words, "Thank you."Ethan's icy expression began to melt visibly. He glanced at Samantha faintly.Although he still looked proud, Samantha knew that he was in a go
To find out Samantha's situation, Alex and Noah did not stay for dinner.After hurriedly bidding farewell to everyone, the two of them took a taxi directly to a private detective agency, where they paid a hefty sum to hire a detective to investigate Samantha's situation.They knew that even if they went back to ask their father, he wouldn't tell them the truth.So, they decided to take matters into their own hands.Private detectives have extensive networks, and in less than half an hour, they had tracked down Samantha's whereabouts."Samantha, female, twenty-three years old, the eldest daughter of Lloyd Miller, the CEO of the Miller Group. She was taken away by the police for murder last night and is currently being held in custody."After saying this, the detective handed over the data and photos that were transmitted to the computer to Noah and Alex."Take a look, is this the person?"Alex and Noah's hearts were pounding as
Jade nodded, confirming, "Yes."Ethan squinted, a layer of frost enveloping him.Albert took away the dashcam?What does he want to do?And what does this have to do with him?Seeing his thoughts, Jade asked, "Boss, should I have someone investigate?"Ethan shook his head, "No need, you can leave!"Jade asked in surprise, "What about Miss Samantha?"Ethan lazily leaned back in his chair, slender fingers playing with a pen, lips slightly curved as he scoffed, "What about her? If the police station calls saying she wants to see me, then you can come find me."Jade was first stunned, then realized.Ethan was planning to make Samantha apologize first?Recently, Samantha deliberately kept her distance from Ethan in order to marry Justin, which had put Ethan in a very bad mood lately.As a high-end hunter, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative, just waiting for the other party to 'fall into the trap' w
Sarah confirmed repeatedly, "Is Charlotte's mother named Samantha?"The principal took out her phone, pulled up the information, and nodded. "Yes, Charlotte's mother is indeed named Samantha."Sarah's expression became even more unpleasant, her mood more complex than ever. "When was Elliot taken back by Charlotte's mother? Why is he at Charlotte's house?"The principal recounted the whole story truthfully."Poor Elliot, when he first transferred to our school, he was withdrawn and ignored everyone, always sitting alone in the corner. Later, the teachers found signs of abuse on him. Through investigation, they found out that he had no mother since he was little, and his father was often drunk and abusive due to gambling. It's not easy for him to survive till now."Thinking that Sarah had donated a scholarship to Elliot, she must care about him and be a kind-hearted person. Therefore, she didn't hide anything and told Sarah the truth about Elliot's s
Albert nodded, assuring her, "Don't worry, no matter what it takes, I will get you out."Samantha's calm heart stirred slightly at Albert's words. She couldn't help but feel moved by his sincerity. However, her feelings were purely gratitude, nothing more."Mr. Davis, can you do me a favor?""What is it?""Could you contact Yurika for me and ask her to temporarily stay at my house to take care of my grandfather and the children? My grandfather is old and has limited experience. He can't always pick up and drop off the kids for me. As for my situation, you can tell her the truth. She's the person I trust the most so far."Albert readily agreed to her request.After chatting with his lawyer for a while and giving him a detailed understanding, Samantha was taken back to the detention center.Looking at the cold walls around her, Samantha felt helpless and fearful for the first time....Not long after Albert left, Suzy was
Samantha gathered her thoughts and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a witness."The police asked, "Who?"Samantha replied, "My sister, Suzy Miller, She invited me out that day, and we were together the whole afternoon. You can go ask her if you don't believe me.""Legally speaking, she's your sister, and her testimony cannot be used as evidence."Samantha forced herself to remain calm. "There's a dashcam in her car. Her car broke down that day, so the dashcam should have recorded both of us."The two policemen exchanged a glance.The one who had been questioning her said, "According to procedure, you cannot leave for now. We'll go find Suzy and clarify the situation. If she can indeed prove your innocence, we'll release you immediately."After saying this, they had Samantha locked up
