Flora sat down with Robin at the McDonald's near Moonlight Hotel, consoling herself repeatedly. Eating junk food once shouldn't cause any problems for this pampered young master.She didn't choose the McDonald's opposite Moonlight Hotel because she didn't want to run into acquaintances from the company, especially Kevin. So, she opted for the branch on the other side of the street, waiting for Chloe and Linda to arrive.Before long, Chloe and Linda showed up. Chloe slammed her handbag on the table and exclaimed, "Damn Flora! You disappear for so long, and when you come back, you treat us to McDonald's? Damn it! You have the nerve to say that!"Flora gestured with her chin towards Robin and chuckled, "He loves it. Just bear with it.""Hey? This child is so handsome. Who is he?" Linda finally noticed Robin, reached out and unceremoniously cupped the handsome face that was busy eating. Examining him closely, she exclaimed, "Wow, he's handsome!"Chloe was also drawn by Robin's charm. Open
"Flora..." Two pairs of dissatisfied eyes were fixed on her face.Flora White sighed inwardly, knowing she couldn't escape this. Reluctantly, she spoke up, "What he said is true. The legendary Mr. Maxwell is indeed his Big Brother, and also... the biological father of my unborn child.""What did you say?" The disapproving looks turned to shock. Chloe Brook widened her mouth in astonishment and said displeasedly, "Didn't you claim earlier that the child belonged to the bandit who kidnapped you? Ha! Now you dare to deceive me!" Chloe gritted her teeth in frustration."My Big Brother is not a bandit!" Robin protested with a mouthful of food, finally satisfied that he had gathered enough items on his tray.Flora chuckled nervously, trying to appease them, "I was just joking. I know your Big Brother is not a bandit." She had to restrain herself from complaining to him to avoid any trouble. But deep inside, she resented him fiercely. Wasn't he a demon? Even bandits might have more humanity
"Kevin, I'm very sorry..." Flora hurriedly apologized. She had seen that beautiful woman holding his arm, so how could she not be his girlfriend? Whatever, it didn't matter. Stop being so nosy!Kevin's voice became much calmer, but he still stared at her with an ungentle gaze and asked, "Is your child doing okay now?" As he spoke, his gaze moved downward, landing on her flat stomach. He really cared about this question!Flora blushed, slightly turning away from his gaze, unsure of how to answer. Was he concerned about her? Or...? He must hate the child, he couldn't possibly care about her. Flora shook her head bitterly.But as she looked at him, who was waiting persistently, she had no choice but to answer with difficulty, "He's... okay.""It's a surprise that he would spare you," Kevin sneered, then asked again, "He must know that the child is his, right?" It was a question that could be guessed.How could Maxwell let the child live if he didn't know the truth? Thinking back to the p
Flora returned to her seat, looking at the delicious spread on the table but having no appetite. It wasn't until Robin had his fill that everyone left the table and exited the restaurant.Chloe and Linda went back to continue working, while Robin insisted on going to the children's world to play with Flora.As they left the hotel, Flora timely reminded, "Little Young Master, don't tell your Big Brother whom you saw today when we get back, okay?""Why not?" Robin asked, puzzled."Anyway, you're not allowed to say," Flora said sternly. She couldn't let Maxwell know she had been to Moonlight Hotel and met Kevin; otherwise, Maxwell would be furious and might even beat her to death!"Okay, got it," Robin replied, then tilted his head and asked, "Who was the person who looked like my Big Brother and Second Brother just now? Why does he look so much like them?""He said it was a coincidence," Flora replied casually, as she didn't know the reason herself.After playing outside for an entire a
Oh, no! Flora lamented in her heart, but she never expected there would be another chance. Letting out a light sigh, she said, "I knew you wouldn't, but I still have to thank you for letting me out today." Flora thanked through gritted teeth."You came back on your own accord, which shows you have some brains. But today's incident won't set a precedent!" Maxwell stared at her, speaking indifferently. It seemed like the raging anger had strangely disappeared, maybe it was because of the gift.A gift? Maxwell glanced again at the tie that didn't suit him, self-mockingly chuckling in his heart. He knew this was her little scheme to please him, yet he still fell for it involuntarily.Flora obediently responded with an "Oh," sneakily sizing him up. Then, she turned and slipped away to the bedroom. But why did she feel an overwhelming sense of oppression behind her? Turning around, she found that Maxwell had followed her in.To escape, Flora abandoned what she was holding and headed to the
"Why would I be uncomfortable? You're the one in trouble soon, but I'm quite comfortable!" Flora defiantly exclaimed.Maxwell's large hand, resting on her, paused, and he bit down angrily on her shoulder."Ouch!" Flora winced in pain, glaring at him."Do you want me dead? Do you want my life like the people from Yota Gang?" Maxwell glared at her, fists clenched at his sides, controlling his emotions to prevent himself from exploding. For the child, he kept reminding himself.Flora fearlessly met his gaze, scoffing, "You might not necessarily want me alive either. Our previous relationship is clear in your heart. Neither of us hates the other any less, right?"Exactly! She was right in every word! Maxwell chuckled mockingly. If it weren't for the child, he would probably have thrown her off the third floor to fend for herself a long time ago. What right did she have to act so arrogantly here? He and she would always be enemies. Thinking this way, he suddenly felt that there was nothing
In the morning, Flora sat on the bed, hugging her knees, watching Maxwell dress until he was about to leave. Only then did she stop him, saying, "Big Young Master, are you really at ease leaving me in this big house with Miss Chiyoko?" Mrs. Smith was going to the hospital, Robin was going to school, and this man was going to work. Oh my god! That meant there would be only her and Chiyoko left again? How was she supposed to endure these days? "What? Are you afraid of her?" Maxwell turned around, sneering at her. Wasn't she always quite fierce? How could she be afraid of another woman? It was ridiculous. "Jealousy is a woman's nature. It's normal for Miss Chiyoko to feel sad, upset, and angry. After all, you've wronged her," she said. Of course, she had her share, becoming his woman and carrying his child in a confused state. No matter what Chiyoko did to her, she could understand it. But if it would harm her or the baby, it was better to avoid it. Here, she had to learn to protect h
"You should know that I am Maxwell's rightful fiancée!" Chiyoko reiterated this fact loudly. She was on the verge of exploding. She was Maxwell's fiancée, yet she had to watch him live with another woman.Who could endure such a thing? Unfortunately, she had no way to deal with Maxwell. To make matters worse, Flora suddenly appeared, pregnant and highly favored!"I know," Flora lowered her head, feeling guilty about this. She always hated women who stole other people's happiness, and unexpectedly, she became one herself. She even despised herself."Since you know, why don't you leave Maxwell?" Chiyoko asked indignantly.Flora smiled bitterly, looking at her helplessly, "Miss Chiyoko, you know Maxwell won't let me leave easily. I just said you should take these questions to Maxwell! All the decisions, all the oppressive terms, it's all him!"Chiyoko coldly assessed her and sneered, "I don't think you have any intention of leaving him, do you? You're using the bastard in your belly to t
