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
Today, Mrs. Smith didn't go directly to the hospital to accompany Joshua, as usual. Instead, she instructed the driver to go to the Davis family. Troubled by suspicions after listening to Chiyoko and Robin's words yesterday, she had a sleepless night, so she left early today.After receiving approval, the car slowly entered the Davis family's large courtyard, and Mrs. Smith couldn't wait to get out of the car. Mrs. Davis, who had just walked out of the house, was surprised, unlike the usual, she looked a bit flustered this time.Flustered? Mrs. Smith didn't understand what she had to be flustered about and didn't want to guess the truth. Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Davis, aren't you going out today?""Well, I was just about to." Mrs. Davis politely smiled, then looked at her and asked, "Mrs. Smith, do you have any urgent matters for this sudden visit?" Usually, there would be a phone call before the meeting, but not today.Mrs. Smith hesitated for
Flora lay on the person's chest, screaming continuously. Her trembling body couldn't stop, and the recent scare had indeed terrified her to the core."Miss Flora, are you okay?"A gentle voice echoed in her ears, and Flora froze. Huh? Such a gentle voice... How could it be possible for the devil-like man to produce such a sound? Impossible?!Flora suddenly looked up, gazing at the handsome and familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face above her. The face carried a faint smile, definitely not Maxwell's; it expressed a caring concern, even less likely to be Maxwell's...So...? Flora's heart skipped a beat, and she struggled to utter a few words, "Young Master Oliver? How could it be you?" Oliver? Wasn't he supposed to be in England? Why did he suddenly come back?"Miss Flora, it's been a while," Oliver said with a smile, and the hand around her waist showed no sign of loosening. The two bodies were tightly pressed against each other, staring closely at each other from a short distance—gentl
Oliver was momentarily surprised by her sudden actions but quickly regained his composure. With a calm expression, he said, "Miss Chiyoko, have you forgotten the punishment from before?"At this moment, Chiyoko couldn't recall any punishment. Her heart had been stirred by Oliver's presence. A year ago, she had been captivated by Oliver's gentleness and elegance, and after more than a year, she found herself unable to resist this fatal temptation. If blame were to be placed, it could only be on Oliver's overwhelming perfection!Unable to sense warmth in Maxwell, she always found it in Oliver, especially after enduring Maxwell's neglect for so long. The frustration in her heart had reached an unbearable point, and at that moment, Oliver, who looked exactly like Maxwell but knew how to cherish others, appeared at the right time!"Oliver, you finally appeared..." Chiyoko clung tightly to him, sobbing.Oliver raised his hand, the warm palm gently pressing against her back, mocking as he sa
At this critical moment, Maxwell still considered the safety of their baby. Too frequent activities in bed might be too much for Flora, and the baby might protest. So, he restrained himself, and had to suppress the resentment in his heart and digest it on his own.Flora, kissed until she felt ticklish several times, gazed at his fiercely resolute face, breathing lightly with her slightly open mouth. Her small face still bore an expression of confusion, not understanding why he had come in silently and suddenly pressed her onto the bed to kiss her passionately.There were many things about him that Flora didn't understand, so she didn't intend to inquire further. After sitting up from the bed, she picked up the phone he had thrown down on the table and dialed to ask Betty to prepare a midnight snack for Maxwell. After hanging up the phone, she fell into silence.After a moment of silence, Flora finally couldn't help but ask, "What's gotten into you again?" Originally, she wanted to ask
Kevin was taken aback. In truth, he was indeed growing more attached to W City. However, his mother's health was paramount, so he had to reluctantly agree with a nod. He reassured, "Mom, as long as you're okay, I'll accompany you back to Germany. We can let someone else manage the branch.""Really?" Mrs. Davis asked joyfully, not expecting Kevin to agree so easily.Kevin nodded, smiling, "Of course, the branch is already on the right track, and it's time for us to return to Germany.""That's good." Mrs. Davis nodded in relief and then asked, "By the way, Kevin, how did the bidding in City A go? Was it smooth? Are we likely to win?""Quite smoothly," Kevin thought Mrs. Davis was concerned about the outcome and hurried to appease her, "An executive from the Smith Family Group sold the minimum bid to us, so we should easily secure the project." Although the means were a bit underhanded, as long as it struck a blow to Maxwell, it was acceptable. In the business world, no one was holier th
Flora felt a bit uneasy under his scrutiny. She chuckled and asked, "Second Young Master, are you planning to take Little Young Master out?" She knew that Robin must be excited because there was either something to eat or something fun.Indeed, Robin enthusiastically boasted, "Second Brother is going to accompany me to the amusement park. Flora, do you want to come? Let's go together!"Robin extended a warm invitation, and only Flora would accompany him. Perhaps it was because of their close ages. However, he seemed to have overlooked one thing—Flora was pregnant and couldn't accompany him.Just hearing the words "amusement park" activated every cell in Flora's body. But... could she go out? Without Maxwell's approval, she dared not take a single step outside the mansion, especially with Oliver present. The strange behavior of Maxwell from last night was still fresh in her memory. If he found out she went to the amusement park with Oliver, he might do something drastic.Oliver looked
