"Are you with that man right now? Regina, how dare you leave the office for some useless personal matter? You better start preparing your resignation letter! I don't need a child who has no sense of responsibility at work." "Dad, I didn't mean to neglect my work. It's just that I--" Regina tried to explain. "Get back to the office right now!" Mr. Tan impatiently cut Regina off and ended the call. Regina showed a complicated expression on her face. A gentle touch on her shoulder made her turn around. A handsome man was looking at her gently and said, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" "I'm still thinking about work at the office. We'd better go home now," Regina said calmly. "But, you haven't even chosen any clothes yet." "It's okay, I can ask my secretary to do it." Regina quickly walked out of the store. She didn't even realize that Henry was slow to follow her. Regina's mind was in chaos. Even though she wanted to break free from her parents' control, she was always
"Are you still going to wait?" The young boy glanced briefly. "Yes, why haven't they arrived yet?" Kevin stood in front of the door, his expression filled with worry. "Perhaps Master has work and chose to stay late," said the head butler standing behind him. "But I've already informed Daddy." "Young Master, forgive me for saying this, but why do you insist on preparing all this? And Master and Madam are workaholics. They might not come home." Kevin fell silent for a moment. His expression grew even sadder. "I know this might seem futile, but I just want to do something for them. Let's wait for another hour, and if they don't come, I'll tidy everything up." "Young Master doesn't need to do anything. We will take care of it; it's the servants' duty. You can rest after this." Kevin turned to the head butler. "Uncle, you've always been kind and understanding to me. Thank you." "It's my duty; there's no need to thank me." "I still hope our efforts won't be in vain," Kevin said soft
"Tada! Do you like it? I saw it on TV, Dad and Mom are officially married. This is a celebration gift from me," Kevin exclaimed enthusiastically, showing what he and the staff had prepared.Henry and Regina were silent as they looked at what was in front of them. It made for an awkward feeling. "You shouldn't have done this. Isn't it just a waste of time?" Regina remarked.Henry walked over to the table decorated with candles, and even the dining area was arranged to resemble a romantic restaurant. "Kevin has prepared all of this, we shouldn't waste it." Henry pulled out a chair. "Come and sit!"Regina hesitantly walked over to the chair prepared for her. "Since when have you become so tolerant of our son?" Regina scoffed."I just didn't want him to cry, and I had to invite my Assistant to come. Just play along with what he wants," Henry replied."I'll leave you two alone, and the servants will leave after serving the food. So, Dad and Mom can have some intimate time," Kevin announced
Regina stared at Henry with a sharp gaze. "Just give it to your ex, she'll pay you back with an unforgettable kiss." Regina distanced herself from Henry. Henry seemed pleased with Regina's reaction. "My dear wife, are you truly jealous of my ex? Relax, I never actually did anything with them. It was all lies, really. Don't dwell on it." "I don't care if it's true or not! It's none of my business; you can do whatever you want. We're just a contractual couple!" Regina asserted. She grabbed her documents and walked toward the door. "Where are you going?" Henry asked. "To the living room. Don't you dare come and bother me again!" Regina slammed the door shut. She clutched her rapidly beating heart, feeling a strange sense of relief. She tried to push her feelings aside. "I mustn't believe a word that man says, and it's none of my business anyway. We're rivals; I can't afford to be careless." Regina walked to the living room. She turned on the light and began working. Occasion
"If what I'm doing makes you uncomfortable, Mom, I'll leave the room right now."Kevin said, trying to mask the disappointment in his voice. "Are you going to school?" Regina asked. Kevin shook his head. "I still haven't enrolled in a new school." Regina just remembered this. She had been too busy with her work, as well as Henry. They forgot that this child should have already started school. "I'll talk to Henry about enrolling you in school." "Can Mom persuade Dad to let me go register for school with Mom and Dad? I'm sure if not, Dad will just ask me to go with his assistant." Kevin's expression turned sad. "Ah, I shouldn't ask for too much." Regina looked at the boy, who was smiling but with sadness in his eyes. "Henry definitely won't allow that. He's a caring man. He'll go with you himself instead of sending his assistant," Regina said confidently. She was sure of it. The Henry she remembered had a warm childhood with loving parents; he wouldn't neglect his own child. Unlike
"Are you confident in the accuracy of these test results?" Regina still finds it difficult to believe. She doesn't mind if the results show that this child is Henry's, but the test results indicating a connection between this child and Regina make her hesitant to trust. "I understand your skepticism. I've conducted tests on a friend who clearly has a blood relation, and the results were consistent. There's no room for doubt." Regina's mind is in disarray. How could she have a child? She gazes at the sleeping child with a bewildered expression. "Hey, did you secretly take advantage of me and conceive my child? Remember in high school when you were absent for so long? Did you give birth then?" Henry stares with intensity. "You're insane! I've never been pregnant or given birth! How many times do I have to say it? I'm getting tired of repeating myself." "Can I check for myself?" Henry insists. "What? What do you mean?" Regina becomes wary. "Wouldn't there be scars if you had
"Hm." "Daddy, what kind of answer is that? You should be clear, not give such an uncertain response!" Kevin exclaimed, clearly dissatisfied. "Regina hasn't even told me her birthday date, how can I make a decision?" Henry replied. "Let's just drop it. I don’t need a celebration anyway," Regina interjected. Kevin looked at Regina, then turned to Henry. "Daddy, lean down a bit!" "Why?" Henry asked, puzzled, but complied with his son's request. Regina watched as they whispered to each other. She tried to decipher Henry's expression, but his face remained unreadable, focused on Kevin. Kevin stepped back. "I'm going to my room." His small feet padded towards the door, which he closed gently behind him. "What was he talking about?" Regina asked. "None of your business!" Henry snapped curtly. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore, right? Leave me alone," Regina responded coldly. "Speaking of your birthday, isn't it tomorrow?" "How do you know?" Regina asked,
Henry looked at his father. "Dad, Regina is my wife. How can I let her leave?" "This is my house. I have the right to decide who can stay here. As your mother said, we don’t fully approve of your marriage," Mr. Jian said coldly. "Why? Dad, Regina is carrying my child, who will be our heir. Isn't that what matters most?" "Henry, are you sure it's your child? We know you despised the Tan family's daughter. She could easily be lying. Don't be fooled by such a cheap trick," Mrs. Jian countered. "Mom, you can see for yourself. Here are the DNA test results between me and the child," Henry said, handing the document to Mrs. Jian. Mr. and Mrs. Jian examined the results. Mrs. Jian still refused to accept it. "That woman could have faked it. You know how cunning the Tan family is." Regina couldn't take it anymore. "Mrs. Jian, I don't know why you think that way, but Henry handled everything himself. I had no way to interfere." "My wife is right. I did it all myself. The child is
