Samuel followed behind Teacher Haley, his little mouth chattering non-stop, “Teacher Haley, have you always lived here?""No, I had my own property outside. I live here only because Sherry is my fiancée. Her parents are also my saviors, I am their adopted son," Haley explained, giving Samuel a deep look.Even he himself found it strange why he would say so much to a little child. Normally, he was not a talkative person.Samuel was very happy when he heard that. "Teacher, since this is not your home, can you take me to your home? I live here and I'm afraid I won't be used to it."Haley furrowed her brow and asked, "Why couldn't you get used to living here?""I recognized the bed, and I also recognized the birth," Samuel truthfully stated.Haley obviously didn't believe his nonsense and frowned, "Shy? Then why are you so close to me?"Samuel was speechless.After Haley brought Samuel to his room, she admonished him, "You stay here and behave yourself, don't go out running around. And de
"Uncle? What's wrong with you?" Samuel cautiously approached him and anxiously asked, holding his hand, "Do you not like me and mommy?"Haley gazed at him with deep eyes and said, "I have been away from home for ten years. Why has your mother never reached out to me? This is not how siblings with a friendly relationship should interact."Haley remembered when she saw Thea a few days ago, she came and went in a hurry, seemingly without any intention of recognizing him. He inexplicably felt a pang in his heart.This Thea seems to have little affection for him.Was she worried that his poor health would hold her back?Samuel complained to his uncle, "Uncle, Mommy really, really misses you. When you're not around, Mommy often thinks of you and cries."Haley didn't know whether she should believe Samuel's words. After all, he had his own judgment. When Jade met him, there was no intention of catching up at all, clearly indicating that she had no plans to recognize him.He just didn't want
It's ironic. They were the closest people in this world, but now he has found someone else and is distant and polite to her.Thea desperately restrained her emotions from collapsing, nodding her head and saying, "I'll accompany you guys for a walk. Let's go."Haley followed behind Thea and walked into a baby store.Samuel had been following them, but when he saw Thea and Haley, who seemed to have a thousand words to say but hesitated to speak, Samuel smartly turned around and left.Thea absentmindedly browsed through the shelves, while Haley cut to the chase and asked, "What brand did he use before?"Thea opened her mouth and after a while, she said, "Chinese brand. Not for export."Haley furrowed her brow, "Well, that's a bit troublesome."Thea intentionally delayed spending time with him and said, "Yeah, so I had to carefully examine the ingredients of the product."Haley looked at her with a hint of sourness as she carefully picked and chose, "You are quite patient with children."
Haley drove the car out, and Samuel pushed Thea into the passenger seat, saying, "Mommy, you sit here."Then Samuel opened the back door and lay stiffly on the back seat. Thea, feeling helpless, could only sit in the passenger seat. However, a hint of relief and joy appeared in her eyes. Samuel was usually not good at playing tricks, but he used all his cunning to matchmake his parents.I feel sorry for this child.Haley frowned as she looked at Samuel, who was so "immature".As Thea sat beside him, he couldn't help but give her a few pointers, "You shouldn't spoil the child."Thea was dumbfounded.She glanced at Samuel, who was lying somewhat improperly in the back seat, and felt both sorry for him and thought that what Haley said seemed reasonable.And she was at a loss for a moment, whether to reluctantly educate her son or silently defy Haley.Finally, she sighed and said, "Ah. My child, since he was born, he has never seen his father. I have been both a father and a mother to him
Thea walked towards Haley's bedroom. However, Haley hesitated in place, feeling a strange sensation, as if beneath Thea's obedience, there was a hidden undercurrent of rebellion.Thea entered Thorne's room and immediately noticed the layout, the cool-toned furniture, the black, white, and gray furnishings, indicating that his personality still adhered to simplicity and - boredom, just as before.She had already brought him into a colorful world a long time ago, so why is it like this again now?Was he really happy?Thea held onto the gray blanket and suddenly felt very cold. In the midst of this coldness and weariness, she fell asleep.The next day, Thea was awakened by a scream. As she opened her eyes, she saw Sherry's almond-shaped eyes wide open, glaring at her angrily. "Why are you sleeping here? How come?"Thea slowly got up and explained, "Don't get excited, Haley and I have nothing going on. He didn't sleep here last night, he slept next door with Samuel."Who knew that Sherry
Thea sharply reprimanded Samuel, "You must not talk nonsense."Samuel gave Sherry a disdainful look and said, "Even my mom has compromised and agreed to spend a few days with my uncle, but you are always jealous and speak to my mom in a sarcastic tone. In my opinion, you are clearly lacking self-confidence and know that you are not worthy of my uncle, so you desperately try to suppress the outstanding women around him."Sherry's eyes turned red, and she pouted at Haley, "Brother, look at your adorable nephew."Haley was treated like a sandwich cookie, and he was not good at handling such conflicts.Thea stood up and said, "I am full. You guys can take your time eating. Samuel, come with me to pack our luggage, and don't make your aunt angry."After speaking, Thea pulled Samuel into the room.Her back leaned against the door panel, holding her son tightly, letting tears stream down.Samuel comforted her, "Mommy, don't be sad."Thea almost pleaded, "Samuel, let go. Don't make it difficu
Not long after, Frank came back and spoke."Sister, something strange. The financial records from ten years ago at Sherry's private hospital were mysteriously destroyed. However, I found out that there was a significant personnel change at Sherry's private hospital ten years ago. A new hospital director was parachuted in, along with several department heads. However, over the past ten years, these department heads have been marginalized, either leaving or retiring. Interestingly, the hospital director is still there, reportedly a Chinese director."Thea clenched her fist, “The department head has been collectively marginalized, as if deliberately concealing something. I want to meet the Chinese hospital director."Drake walked in and suggested, "Thea, we shouldn't rush this matter, after all, he is the only lead we have. If we startle the snake in the grass, there's a possibility that someone might harm him and resort to silencing him. Then, we won't have any leads left."Thea calmed
The things in the gift box rolled out.Thea glared at Drake in annoyance, and Drake quickly explained, "Miss Wilson, don't be angry. I bought this gift. If you don't like it, please take a look at the gifts in the other boxes."As the other gift boxes were opened, there were several pieces of jewelry. Sherry pouted unhappily, "As the Miss of the Fletcher family, they really skimped on the gifts. It's clear that they don't value me as their sibling."Thea felt extremely embarrassed. "It was just a token of meeting, not a dowry, so I entrusted Drake to handle this matter. He is a straight guy, so the gift he chose may not be to your liking. Please be understanding and forgive him this time. Next time, I will definitely personally choose the gift, without relying on others."Haley scolded Sherry with a frown on her face, "Thea is unfamiliar here and she managed to buy such expensive gifts to visit your parents in such a short time. I think Thea has already put in a lot of effort. Sherry,
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
"The brutal murder of the rental house sisters, why such haste in mutual destruction?" The headline quickly appeared on the trending topiclist. There is evidence with the pictures.When Thea saw this article, she was actually drawn to the characters in the pictures in the article.The little boy stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the little girl in front of him. The sunlight bathed him, making him look so divine.Like a savior.Thea, however, felt a chill running through her body.Eric and Emma finally met."What's wrong?" Thorne walked over, placing a gentle hand on Thea's shoulder. His gaze skimmed over the article on the phone screen, and Thorne sighed."Don't worry, it was me who arranged their meeting. I thought that once Eric and Emma met, he would forget about bothering us. After all, Emma's situation is enough to keep him occupied."Thea stared at Thorne and said, "I wasn't afraid of Eric and Emma meet
Eric crazily picked up the stick, intending to smash it down on the man's head again. However, for some reason, a trace of fear suddenly overflowed from his pupils, and the stick weakly slipped from his palm.Emma stood at the door and saw this scene, confusion welled up in her eyes.The man turned his head and saw that it was just a child. His previously panicked face instantly twisted into a grimace. He pushed Eric away and said, "Get lost, you little brat. How dare you ruin my good thing."Eric sat down on the ground, kicking weakly with heavy breaths.The man lost interest, he pulled up his pants, dropped a 100note, and walked away grumbling.The paralyzed woman, with a lifeless face, still managed to pull the blanket over herself.Emma looked at the woman with a puzzled expression and asked, "Don't you feel humiliated living like this?"A tear welled up in the woman's eyes, and her body visibly trembled. "Yes, I also wanted
Ingrid returned home, looking disheveled with messy hair and clothes in complete disarray, with bruises all over her body.Her mother, Hana, saw her daughter's appearance and panic filled her eyes, “Ingrid, what is going on with you?"Ingrid gritted her teeth and angrily said, "It's all because of Samuel. My classmates don't believe me anymore. Mom, where is my little brother?"Hana walked towards the bedroom and raised her voice, shouting, "Eric."The bedroom door slowly slid open, and a gloomy-faced little boy stood at the entrance. He stared coldly at Ingrid and said, "Samuel?"Ingrid nodded, "He seemed to know your secret."Eric glanced at the wounds on Ingrid's body and couldn't help but feel frustrated, “It's no surprise that he knows my secret. Didn't I tell you before? The Brown family and the Fletcher family are both mysterious families. Be careful."Ingrid said, "He asked me to pass on a message to you, telling y
Ingrid was furious, “You are young, yet your thoughts are so malicious. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you for giving away the Fletcher family's assets to outsiders?"Samuel was speechless. "Where do you get the audacity to think that your position in my grandfather's heart would surpass mine?"Ingrid had a determined look on her face.Samuel laughed again, "Besides, my grandfather's assets, he can give them to whoever he wants, I have no objections at all. If I want money, I will earn it myself."The words embarrassed those who had the idea of getting something for nothing, turning their faces red with shame.Ingrid's tears flowed incessantly as she became furious, "You have so much integrity, just don't cry later."Samuel was speechless, "At least now it's not me who's crying."Although he was young, he was a head taller than Ingrid, and when he had a stern expression, a chilling aura surrounded his feature
