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
Maxwell lifted his hand and tightly grasped her jaw, coldly saying, "My child, even if someone were to kill him, it would only be me doing it with my own hands. You have no right! Do you understand?" His face was filled with anger!Enduring the pain in her jaw, Flora stared at him and struggled to speak, "Maxwell! You're worse than a jerk, using a child as a target for your anger? Jerk!""Shut up!" Maxwell growled lightly, lowering his head to fiercely kiss her incessantly cursing lips. With one hand around her waist, he took a few steps before pushing her onto the bed, his robust body pressing down on her. It was forceful, yet carried a hint of gentleness, perhaps considering her current pregnant state; his movements were lighter than ever.Flora's hands were pressed on both sides, staring at the face so close to hers, momentarily unsure of what to do. His kisses gradually dominated her lips and tongue, and between lips and teeth was his taste!After kissing for a long time, he final
Flora almost held her breath as she walked down to the first floor. In the lobby, she encountered Nancy, but before Nancy could speak, Flora ran past her like a frightened rabbit.Nancy muttered behind her, "Nuts!"As she passed by the pool, Flora noticed that even Betty was captivated by the handsome figure in the pool, and she rolled her eyes at her. Together, they looked at Maxwell's sexy body, which Flora had already seen enough of.However, she was still drawn to him at this moment, or rather to the gentleness on his face. This gentle expression, tinged with indulgence, only appeared when dealing with Robin. For her, it had never been so kind to her!Her small hand quietly stroked her belly. Would he be as doting on the baby as he was on Robin?While Flora was lost in thought, raindrops fell from the sky. They landed on her head and body. She was startled, looking up to find that the sky was still as clear as before. It wasn't until she heard a burst of laughter from beside her t
"All of this is your own doing. Even if you go crazy, don't blame others, understand?" Maxwell scoffed, turned around, and continued walking towards the house.Robin looked back at Flora, protesting, "Flora, you can't leave! Who will play with me if you leave?" He had finally found a companion and didn't want to lose her."Didn't you hear what your Big Brother said? Even if I go crazy, he won't let me leave." Flora spat at him and gave Maxwell a resentful look. She had no interest in his enthusiasm!Stepping into the main house, Flora saw the person she least wanted to see—Chiyoko. Her steps involuntarily froze in place.Fortunately, Chiyoko only pulled Robin with concern, saying to the two brothers, "Maxwell, Robin, you're back. Come and have breakfast." Then she turned to Flora, smiling sweetly, "Flora, join us for breakfast. Don't worry, Mrs. Smith went to the hospital early, so she's not at home right now. You don't have to be afraid."Listening to her words and looking at her fal
"Well, yes," Flora looked at him, unable to discern his current mood. She decided it was better not to provoke him."Can your body withstand a long car ride?" Maxwell continued, observing her facial expressions change gradually and then instantly light up with joy.She replied, "Of course! I can sit in a car for days without any problem!""That's good. Go change your clothes quickly." Maxwell released her, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom, removing his bathrobe.Whether he was in a formal suit or casual clothes, he always looked handsome and charming. Especially with a less malicious expression on his face, he was simply irresistible. Flora stared at him dreamily until he finished changing clothes, then hurriedly lowered her gaze and rushed to the closet. After randomly picking a set of outdoor clothes, she walked out of the bathroom.As Flora emerged, she cautiously asked, "Big Young Master, do you really agree to let me go out on my own?" It was strange; had he taken th
"Who are you exactly?" Flor asked in a stern tone once again, half of her body forced to lie on his legs, no longer struggling or resisting, because she knew it would be futile. Deep down, she was reluctant to let go of his body!"I am your lover, your husband," Maxwell whispered in her ear, holding her body close again and assessing her rapidly changing expression. There was excitement in his heart as he said those words, and he reached out to tidy her clothes."It's not possible..." Flora shook her head in horror and said, "My husband is Henry!"Maxwell glared at her angrily and asked, "I was just about to ask you, how did you become Henry's wife?" The hand that was once caressing her tightened its grip, causing Flora to wince in pain. She furrowed her brows tightly, enduring the pain he inflicted on her."I..." Flora tried to speak, but Maxwell interrupted her, his voice icy as he said, "What has Henry done to you? Tell me!"Flora stared at him, anxious and bewildered, shaking her
In the President's office of the Smith Family Group, Joshua cautiously presented his work report to Maxwell. Ever since Flora died, he no longer dared to be negligent in his work or treat Maxwell with a disdainful attitude out of guilt.He had even quickly married to prove that he had long given up any fantasies about Flora and never had any intention of competing with Maxwell for her.Maxwell quickly skimmed through the report and handed it back to him calmly, saying, "From now on, you can make your own decisions regarding these projects. You don't have to ask me anymore.""Oh... alright." Joshua nodded obediently, clutching the report, and hurriedly walked towards the door. Meeting Maxwell had become a mental torment for him since two years ago. He was afraid, so he always wanted to escape!After Joshua left, Maxwell packed up and prepared to go home. His gaze involuntarily fell on Flora's photo on his desk. He couldn't bear to look away for a long time. Now, going home was no longe
Two years later.It was spring, the season when flowers bloomed. Inside a luxurious mansion, roses were blooming beautifully. Pink petals fluttered, decorating the green grass.Two children, who looked almost identical and like angels, were laughing and playing on the grass, chasing each other in the sea of pink flowers.They appeared to be about two years old, with blinking big eyes and fair skin. The most enchanting feature was their sparkling eyes. The only difference between their little faces was that the boy had a touch of masculinity, while the girl exuded a sweet charm.A nanny stood nearby, carefully watching over them, not daring to look away for a moment, afraid that the two little angels might fall or collide. From the nanny's expression, one could tell that these little angels were of high status.At that moment, the sound of a car approaching could be heard from the entrance. Soon after, a silver car slowly drove into the yard and stopped in front of the main house. The
The sun rose as usual, and after a night of turmoil, the Smith Family mansion remained engulfed in a somber atmosphere. Maxwell sat on the bed, eyes wide open, unable to sleep. With Mrs. Smith's consent, Darren gave him a sleeping pill.This tactic proved effective; Maxwell soon fell asleep, entering a deep slumber until the sunset.Upon waking, Maxwell's gaze was sharp. His first command to Darren was, "Go and bring Flora back."Darren thought he might be delirious from sleep, cautiously saying, "Big Young Master, Miss Flora... she's already...""Even if she's dead, bring her back!" Maxwell roared, abruptly sitting up from the bed. The sudden burst of anger startled everyone present!Even in death, he wanted Flora back by his side. They had promised not to part in this lifetime, yet she left him just days after making that promise. She was his wife, forever!"Maxwell..." Mrs. Smith comforted him by patting his shoulder. "The dead cannot come back to life; don't be like this. Flora is
Maxwell's expression froze, and his anger erupted instantly from within him. He shouted, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Flora was dead? Who dared to say that she was dead? Who dared to let her die?Everyone knew that his shout, his anger, was just an attempt to avoid and mask the truth. What's the use of refusing to admit it? Flora wouldn't come back to life because of this, she wouldn't return to his side because of this!"Big Young Master, this is the truth. Miss Flora was killed by Chiyoko Tokugawa!" Darren reiterated this painful fact, restraining the danger of being beaten up by Maxwell. When he received this news, he was also shocked and immediately came to personally inform Maxwell instead of telling him over the phone. He was afraid that Maxwell might do something irrational and harmful!"It's impossible! Chiyoko doesn't have the guts!" Maxwell shook his head and spoke coldly. His body was already trembling so much that he couldn't stand steadily, leaning agains
Joshua's legs gave way, and his strong body fell to the ground. It took him a while before he struggled to prop himself up and stumbled into the room where Flora was.On the makeshift operating table, he saw Flora lying quietly on the bed, covered in a thin white silk sheet. Her once prominent belly was now flat."Flora!" Joshua's mind went blank as he rushed forward, frantically examining Flora, who lay peacefully on the bed. Was she dead? What had he done? He had caused harm to Flora! Even if he hated her, he had never thought of using such a cruel method to harm her!Trembling, he lifted the thin sheet covering Flora. She was dressed in a set of bright white silk pajamas, stained with traces of blood. Her face had turned deathly pale, and her hands were alternately placed on her flat stomach.Overwhelmed with shock, Joshua fainted. In his last moments of consciousness, he thought about how Maxwell would punish him. Flora might never forgive her even in the afterlife!Philip immedia
Flora stared at Joshua, who unexpectedly appeared in her bedroom. Startled, she took a step back and braced herself against the desk, barely keeping her trembling body steady. She lamely asked, "What did you say?"Joshua anxiously repeated, "Big Brother has been captured by the Yota Gang. He's now being held in a villa in City W. Chiyoko said she wants to see you, otherwise..." Joshua couldn't continue speaking and instead let silence take over. He lowered his head slightly, hiding his emotions beneath his eyelids."It's impossible! Maxwell called me just two hours ago!" Flora screamed, her eyes red and her body trembling slightly. It was unclear whether she was angry or devastated. She stared fixedly at Joshua with wide eyes, as if he was lying, intentionally deceiving her. How could Maxwell, who was so cautious, fall into someone else's hands so easily? She didn't believe it!Joshua urgently pressed his finger against her lips and said, "Flora, please don't be so loud. If my mom hea
Chiyoko stood at the entrance of the Smith Family Group building, looking up at the luxurious structure in front of her. In the end, she couldn't control her actions and walked into the lobby.The receptionist stood up and politely smiled at her, saying, "Hello, miss. How can I assist you?" Although her tone was polite, her gaze couldn't help but wander over Chiyoko's body.Having adapted to this mixture of surprise and contempt over the past two days, Chiyoko was no longer as sensitive. She lifted her golden-framed glasses and calmly said, "Could you please find Maxwell for me?"The receptionist lowered her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chiyoko. Mr. Maxwell has instructed that due to your recent high-profile appearances, to avoid any scandals, he is unable to meet with you in the short term."The receptionist's words were polite, but the disdain in her tone was hard to conceal. Chiyoko could naturally sense it, causing her anger to flare up. She couldn't believe that
Flora, startled, instinctively asked, "Who is it?" As soon as she saw a couple naked on the screen, she quickly closed the laptop, without closely examining who it was. Now, after Kevin mentioned it, she was really curious."Just see for yourself," Kevin chuckled.Flora opened the laptop again, continuing to watch the embarrassing scene that made her blush. When she saw the figures clearly, her face was covered with a look of shock.Rubbing her eyes vigorously, yes, it was indeed Chiyoko and Philip! It was them? Flora asked in astonishment, looking at the silent phone, "How do you have... um... this kind of video with them?""It's everywhere on the internet now. I just randomly downloaded it from a website, and the first thing I thought of was to show it to you. Aren't I so considerate?" Kevin proudly invited attention.Flora slapped her flushed and heated face with her hand, unkindly saying, "Although it is indeed surprising, you didn't have to think of showing it to me first.""It's
