"Why are you getting books about pregnancy?"Warren felt his heart skip a beat for a moment.His arms tightened around Remy as he spoke. An intrusive thought barged into his mind.He grabbed Evelyn, and his gaze burned with love when he looked at her. He demanded, "Evie, are you hiding something from me? Why are you getting those books? Are you pregnant?"His questions were like bullets from a machine gun. They fired rapidly at Evelyn.It made her feel a little nervous.She took a step back and said a little angrily, "Warren, what are you doing? How could I possibly be pregnant?""Then why are you getting these books?"Warren kept his gaze fixed on Evelyn's face. He was examining the tiniest shift in her expression and was terrified that he would miss something important.Just then, Evelyn's phone suddenly rang.She immediately picked it up.Ethan's deep voice came from the other end of the line."Evelyn, who's the father of Jazzie's baby?"Evelyn frowned a little before s
"You wouldn't die," agreed Ethan. "But what about the little one?"He was reluctant to accept that reality, but if things were true, then he didn't want Jazzie to hurt herself even more.It was only at that moment that Jazzie figured out what was going on.She thought about how Ethan believed that she was pregnant and was worried that she'd have a miscarriage if she fell.Those thoughts made Jazzie so angry that she wanted to beat him up.She assumed he had always seen her as a loose woman.That prompted her to grit her teeth and reply, "The kid's not yours, so what are you so worried about, anyway?"After saying that, she pushed Ethan aside and made her way back to the production set. She prepared to shoot the scene again.Ethan was so angry that he clenched his fists.He thought Jazzie was a heartless idiot who took his kindness and treated it like trash.Despite cursing internally, he handed the dinner he brought with him to Jazzie's assistant and left.…Soon, Christmas
When Evelyn opened her eyes again, the sky had already turned dark.She recalled smelling Warren's scent while being in a daze, and she thought she heard his voice.She even dreamed about kissing him.Evelyn wondered just how much she missed the guy to have a dream like that.The sound of fireworks going off came from outside the window. Up in the sky, the night was painted with colorful sparks.It was looking more and more festive.As such, her longing for Warren had deepened as well. It was so bad that she felt her heart sting.She couldn't help putting both hands on her womb and talking to the baby in her mind."Baby, let's celebrate Christmas with your dad after you are safely born, okay?"When Warren made his way over, he saw Evelyn's groggy eyes wet with tears.More and more tears gathered until they became droplets that rolled down her cheeks.Warren slowly crouched down. His icy finger gently wiped those tears away.His voice brimmed with heartache as he spoke."Wh
"So what if you assigned a bodyguard to me? I was still drugged. Warren, I'm not an unreasonable person, but all these dangerous incidents have really gotten to me."The danger will still be there so long as I am with you. The only thing I can do to protect my family and myself is to break up with you."So please, leave me alone, okay?"Evelyn's eyes were red with tears toward the end, and her voice had become thick.She had made the tough call to break up with him. She didn't even tell him that she was pregnant, and there was no way she could let all her previous efforts be for naught.Evelyn was fine with getting hurt, but she couldn't help worrying about the baby.She thought about how tiny the baby was and how there was no way it could endure any harm.Even the slightest harm could cause the baby its life.Hence, Evelyn didn't have the guts to roll the dice.Seeing how terrified she was got Warren so heartbroken that he caressed her head.His voice became slightly deeper
The booming sound of the fireworks was loud, but Evelyn could hear every single word from Warren's lips clearly.His warm tongue ambushed and pried open her mouth.The soft kiss carried a hint of alcohol.There was a moment when her mind was completely blank, and her heart stopped beating.She'd admit that she loved that kiss and missed Warren dearly.There was even an impulse within her that wanted her to kiss him back.Unfortunately, her mind cleared up soon after.She pushed him away in one swift move.Her clear eyes looked even more beautiful under the night sky filled with fireworks. They were like the stars illuminating the sky.Warren realized she was about to lose her temper. He immediately retrieved an exquisite necklace with a beautiful cross pendant from his pocket and put it around her neck.His voice was deep when he said, "Evie, I got this handmade cross from the famous priest, Gregory Hills. It'll keep you safe. This is my Christmas gift to you. You are not all
"So what now? Are you thinking about being the stepfather?" asked Warren.Ethan's lips twitched a few times. He replied, "It is nice to have a kid without needing to lift a finger. At least it'd be much better than you. You've been working tirelessly for months, and still, there is no news on that front."I bet Evelyn's body is not the problem. The issue is your performance."Warren shrugged nonchalantly and chuckled before he replied, "Fine, you win. Why are you so hellbent on being a bastard's dad, though?""No one wants to be that bastard's dad, okay? I was simply expressing concern as a friend. I'm not cruel like you.""Okay, then you should stay and keep showing your concern. I have to go now. I need to try out the gift my wife got me."Warren deliberately fished his new cufflinks out and showed them off to Ethan.The smile on the former's face was overflowing with pride and glee.Ethan was so exasperated that he mocked, "Why are you talking as if you actually have a wife?
It looked as though the cart would hit Evelyn. A pair of strong arms suddenly gripped the cart and stopped it short.William's face oozed with fury when he glared at the nurse. "What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself fired?" roared William.The nurse was so scared that she immediately apologized to Evelyn, "Sorry, I lost control for a minute there."Only then did Evelyn turn around. A chill instantly ran down her back when she saw that the cart was only inches away from her.A patient lay on the cart, weighing it down and making it extremely heavy. If William hadn't shown up on time, Evelyn would have been hurt badly.The consequences would be dire.Evelyn thought about how the incident happened just moments after she finished her examination. It made her wonder if it was just a coincidence or if there was something more to it.Evelyn pretended to be calm and tugged at William's arm for a bit. After that, she said, "William, it never even hit me, so it's fine. Let th
"That won't do at all. My wife knew you'd be dropping by, so she prepared all sorts of delicacies. If you leave before dinner, she will likely have a terrible time this festive season," replied Steven.They entered the house while chatting.Evelyn had just stepped into the living room when she saw a familiar figure in front of her.Winnie wore a beautiful red dress and stood by the door as she looked at Evelyn. The former smiled and greeted, "Evie, Merry Christmas."Evelyn stopped short.Dumbfounded, she stared at Winnie.She wondered if Steven was referring to the Larkin family when he said that the entire extended family was there.She also wondered if Bonnie had brought everyone to Steven's house for a vacation.Evelyn was a little surprised, but she grinned and asked, "Winnie, is the entire family here?"Winnie smiled and nodded. "Yeah," replied Winnie. "This is my grandma's childhood home, and it's been years since she came back. It just so happens that I'm free, so I b
