"No," Maxwell gritted his teeth, without hesitation. How could he possibly want a child with an enemy? How could he want a child with someone he didn't love? It was a question he didn't even need to consider!His words chilled Flora's heart to an icy point, her face turned ashamedly pale. Maxwell! He truly was a heartless and cruel man! A demon who would even willingly kill his own child!Cold, bone-chilling coldness spread from the depths of her being, coursing through her veins and reaching every limb. Even her expression and voice turned cold, "Since that's the case, there's no need for me to lie and say this child is yours."Maxwell was taken aback. Even though he had already guessed the result, hearing her words still hurt him deeply. He closed his eyes with a slight shake of his head. Disappointment and anger intertwined, surging over his heart like a tide.His broad hand clenched into a fist and slammed down forcefully. Flora quickly closed her eyes, not waiting for the pain be
"Of course, get rid of it. Why keep it?" Mrs. Smith scolded displeasedly. She expressed great dissatisfaction with Doctor Alan's unnecessary question. Did they still want Flora to keep this child to continue tormenting Maxwell?"Well, yes... I'm sorry, madam." Doctor Alan stammered, apologizing sincerely. He cursed himself for being too talkative! To avoid angering Mrs. Smith, he quickly retreated.As Doctor Alan passed by Maxwell, he bowed slightly, and Maxwell glanced at him, calmly saying, "First, let her recover before dealing with her child." With that, he walked away without looking back.He still couldn't bring himself to forcefully kill the child in Flora's belly, even if it was Kevin's child, even if he hated it to the bone! The shame associated with it weighed on his head. He could even imagine Kevin's triumphant handsome face, announcing victory with a smirk. He didn't dare to think about it!Yet, there was a faint anticipation in his heart, hoping that Flora was deceiving
After five seconds of contemplation, Kevin smirked, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he looked up at Maxwell, "Didn't Flora tell you? Why bother coming to ask me, Mr. Maxwell? Are you here to verify the facts...?"A loud thud! Maxwell's fist viciously struck Kevin's face, and Kevin's body crashed into the nearby car. Immediately, a hint of metallic sweetness appeared at the corner of his mouth—that was the taste of blood!"Kevin!" Mrs. Davis exclaimed in shock, startled, and rushed over to support Kevin, whose body barely held on and didn't collapse. Anxiously, she asked, "Kevin, are you okay? What's going on between you two?!"Just as Maxwell was about to deliver a second punch, Mrs. Davis stood in front of Kevin, urgently shouting, "Stop! Maxwell, stop it! Why resort to violence when you can talk things out?"Due to Mrs. Davis's presence, Maxwell's punch didn't land. Unwillingly retracting his fist, he glared at Kevin, gritting his teeth, "Ask your son what he did! I can ign
"Yes, Madam." Doctor Alan acknowledged and turned to leave. Before stepping out, he was startled by a sudden figure. Immediately, he lowered his head and greeted, "Hello, Big Young Master!"It was evident that Maxwell had overheard Mrs. Smith's words earlier.Mrs. Smith and Chiyoko were also momentarily stunned by Maxwell's sudden appearance. Mrs. Smith felt a hint of panic and silently scolded herself for not hearing the sound of his car earlier."Maxwell..." Suppressing the slight turmoil within, Mrs. Smith stared at Maxwell, who looked gloomy. She lightly laughed with an extremely measured tone, "I hope you won't mind how I'm handling this.""I don't, Aunt. Just do as you see fit," Maxwell replied with a smile. Not because he cared about Mrs. Smith, not because he dared not defy her, but because he genuinely wanted to do it this way.Kevin! He wanted to see how arrogant he could be! Thinking about the words and smiles Kevin had shown him earlier in the morning, he felt an itching h
Robin struggled all the way. As the guard carrying him passed by Maxwell's bedroom, he exerted all his strength to break free from the guard.Bursting into Maxwell's bedroom, he shouted, "Big Brother! If you don't go save Flora, she's going to die. She's so pitiful; you can hear her crying again!" As he spoke, tears welled up in Robin's eyes out of urgency.Chiyoko, who had been 'accompanying' Maxwell, quickly stepped forward to pull him towards the door, whispering, "Robin, be good. Flora is just sick, and she's receiving treatment. Stop bothering your Big Brother.""She's not just sick! She's covered in injuries from being beaten. You wicked woman, as bad as them!" Robin shook off Chiyoko's hand, glaring at her and cursing.Chiyoko was startled, a slight displeasure appearing on her face as she stared at him. Considering Mrs. Smith's previous teachings and Maxwell's presence, she had to suppress her anger and smiled coaxingly, "Robin, you don't understand adult matters. How about I
"Even if it's yours, if you let her have the child, what about Chiyoko? Chiyoko is your fiancée!" Mrs. Smith was extremely anxious; how could she let Flora give birth to Maxwell's son? It was not permissible!If this child belonged to Chiyoko, she would be overjoyed and probably faint from happiness. After all, she also hoped for Maxwell to start a family and have children sooner.Chiyoko listened to Mrs. Smith's words, staring at Maxwell with tear-filled eyes, waiting for his response.Maxwell glanced at Chiyoko and indifferently stated, "I've said it before; you, Chiyoko Tokugawa, is no longer my fiancée. If you're smart, go back to Japan immediately. Even if you want Itou Tokugawa to do something to me, it doesn't matter!""Maxwell..." Chiyoko choked out, never expecting that after such a long time, this was the same response she received from him. Maxwell had not forgiven her, nor had he fallen in love with her again. Was his heart made of stone? So cold and unyielding?"I won't a
Maxwell reached out and held her waist, lifting her from the lounge chair, staring at her expressionlessly, "Why not go inside and sleep?"Was this statement a form of concern for her? Flora couldn't understand because his expression revealed nothing.So, Flora didn't know how to answer him. Lowering her eyes, she looked around, realizing he still hadn't let her go. It seemed like he was waiting for her response. She casually said, "I... accidentally fell asleep.""The sea breeze here is strong. Don't you know it's not good for the baby if you get sick?" Maxwell reproached disapprovingly.Flora was startled, looking up at him in surprise. He... was concerned about her baby now? Wasn't he the one who ruthlessly wanted to kill him last night? He changed faster than a chameleon!A smirk appeared on her lips, and she flashed him a mocking smile, coldly taunting, "Are you caring about him? This doesn't seem like a behavior you would exhibit, right?"Maxwell's hand, still around her waist,
After finishing the meal, Maxwell took Robin upstairs.Watching their departing figures, Mrs. Smith snorted angrily and muttered under her breath, "That damn Flora! She really infuriates me!"Chiyoko looked at Mrs. Smith with a face full of grievance and hesitantly said, "Aunt, my Uncle called me again this morning, asking when we are getting married. He said he wants to come in person to congratulate us."Mrs. Smith tensed, staring at her in astonishment. With a worried and helpless expression, she spoke softly, "Chiyoko, have a good talk with your uncle. Wait a bit longer. As for Maxwell... you know, he hasn't forgiven you yet. Give him some time, okay?"Whenever Itou Tokugawa was mentioned, Mrs. Smith felt a bit uneasy, afraid that upsetting him might lead to actions detrimental to her family. After all, the Yota Gang was an exceptionally powerful organization, and everyone feared them!"But what about Flora? What about her child?" Chiyoko asked, feeling helpless. Although Mrs. Smi
