Chester's gaze momentarily froze upon hearing that name. Wayne, the Larkin family's butler, stood as the sole victim of the tragic fire years ago. How could Skyler possibly have any connection to him and retain such a profound memory of the incident? He regarded her with a mixture of confusion and intrigue. "Do you recall anything else about Wayne?"Skyler shook her head. "I have no clear memories of him. However, his name often echoes in my nightmares. I believe he played a pivotal role in saving me, perhaps during that fire.""But according to the records, Wayne was the only person present during the fire, and surveillance footage confirms no one else entered." A sense of disquiet settled over the room. If Skyler was indeed present during the fire, it could have been a deliberate act rather than a mere accident. Dennis, who had remained silent until now, interjected, "While the footage from the day of the fire shows only Wayne's presence, there's a ten-minute gap in the surve
The sensations had been so overpowering that Evelyn feared she wouldn't be able to leave the house today if it happened again. She promptly pushed Warren away and rose from the bed, stating, "I need to visit Mrs. Potter today." But as she attempted to stand, a strong arm encircled her waist. A low, husky, and enticing voice whispered in her ear, "It's no hurry, a kiss before you go wouldn't hurt." With that, Evelyn found herself drawn back onto the bed. A cascade of tender, lingering kisses enveloped her. She was clueless to as when Warren had become so skilled; even the simplest kiss from him was captivating. It elicited a soft moan from her lips. Just as they were lost in their passionate embrace, there came a knock at the door, followed by Simon's voice. "Evie, Mrs. Miles Senior is here to see you. You and Warren should come down to greet her."Evelyn pushed Warren away immediately, her voice still carrying traces of desire. "Dad, we'll be down in a moment." Her voice wa
Evelyn didn't understand how Sally knew Xena. Not to mention, Xena didn't even like sweet stuff. She was averse to that kind of food.So why would she like Sally's chocolate chip cookies?Their conversation shocked everyone.Chet immediately walked over and tugged on Sally's hand, saying, "Grandma, you've got the wrong person. This is Evelyn, not your granddaughter."Only then did Sally realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She looked tearily at Evelyn and said, "What happened to Clara made me fall very ill. Even after getting better, I keep addressing the wrong person. "Sometimes, I hold onto Jennifer and call her Sonya. Oh, Evie, I hope you won't blame me for being so muddled."When Evelyn heard that, she felt a stab of pain in her heart. She felt so sorry for Sally. The granddaughter that she had doted on for over two decades ended up being so ungrateful, and her mother was most likely the one who murdered Sally's own daughter.Evelyn smiled slightly and shook her
After being questioned by Johnny, Sally clenched her jaw harshly. "Who she is doesn't concern you, and you can't control me if I want to dote on her. If you weren't Chet's father, do you think the Miles family would let you off so easily for what you did to Sonya? "You're not welcome here. Leave now! Or else, I'll have security throw you out!"Simon angrily picked up a broom and began swinging it at Johnny. "I already warned you, if you insult my daughter again, I won't forgive you! I didn't raise her like a princess only for you to berate her!"With that, he slammed the broom against Johnny's back.Even though it didn't hurt, it was extremely humiliating.Johnny wanted to fight back, but Warren's cold gaze scared him off. He clenched his fists angrily and glared at Simon. "You'd better hope you never end up in my hands, or I'll kill you!"Warren gave him a cold stare. "You can try. Let's see if you're able to walk away alive."Johnny had nearly ground his teeth to dust from ho
Sally beamed from ear to ear. "You even remembered that I like wine, Evie. You're such a lovely young lady. Please pour me a glass."Evelyn poured Sally a glass and then served everyone else at the table their own glass too.Finally, when she presented Warren with his glass, she gulped. Quietly, she said, "Um, Warren, could I have a small sip?"Warren refused without a second thought. "Babe, you can't drink when you're pregnant. Have you forgotten? Or do you want to give birth to a little alcoholic?""It's fine if I just take a small sip. Or I can settle for just a taste. It's not like I can get drunk off wine."As she spoke, she licked her lips with her tongue.Seeing how she was practically drooling, Warren flicked her nose with a smile. He raised the glass to her mouth and said, "You can only have a taste. I'll smack your butt if you have a single sip more."Evelyn nodded, grinning. She took a whiff and found the smell to be very familiar. She felt like she'd had this somewhe
Evelyn couldn't wait to see Dennis and get the facts straight. So, she replied without hesitation, "Yes, I like you the most. Let's hurry."After she said that, she hastily dragged Warren to the car.Seeing how anxious she was, Warren's jealousy only intensified. Just as Evelyn was about to open the car door, he pinned her against the car. Tipping his face downward to look at her, he casually rubbed his nose against her cheek.His deep, husky voice was both seductive and pitiful. "But right now, I feel like your heart is occupied by that young man. I'm not in there at all."At the sight of his downcast expression, Evelyn pecked his lips and said gently, "I only think of him as an older brother. You're the one I love the most, hubby. So don't feel jealous, alright?"Hearing her call him "hubby", the blood in Warren's body began to surge, as though he'd been put under a spell. The jealousy instantly disappeared from his eyes and was replaced by unbridled lust.Smirking slightly, he
Dennis hesitated several times before ultimately placing his palm on the crown of Evelyn's head. Smiling gently, he said, "Don't cry. You're going to be a mother soon, so why are you still such a crybaby?"Evelyn wiped away her tears and looked up at him. "Where were you all these years? Why didn't you get in touch with me? Every winter, I went back to your old home to wait for you. "When they tore down that place, I even fought with the construction workers. I told them that if they demolished your house, you wouldn't be able to find your home anymore."Upon hearing those words, Dennis' eyes filled with tears despite the smile on his face. He delicately patted Evelyn's head a few times and said hoarsely, "We were being hunted down. If I contacted you, you would be in trouble. "However, after we found my mother's family, our life improved greatly. The reason I'm back is to investigate my mother's case, so I didn't want to bring you trouble."Evelyn sniffled. "Really? Are you lyi
Only Warren's family and closest friends knew about his seafood allergy.How did Skyler know about this?He gave her a strange look. "How did you know about my seafood allergy?"Skyler was dumbstruck by that question. How had she known about it? Was it a memory buried in her subconscious?If that were true, then what relationship did she have with Warren?How come she still remembered his seafood allergy despite having lost her memories?Flustered, she quickly came up with an excuse. "I remember hearing Evie's father mention it the last time we ate together."Warren nodded half-disbelievingly. "You took such good care of Evie back in the day. Once you are discharged, we'll come and visit. I hope I'll be able to taste your delicious cooking then."When Skyler heard that, she widened her eyes in disbelief. "Really? You can come with Evelyn?""Once you're discharged, I'll take Evelyn there."Hearing his confirmation, Skyler's eyes grew teary like a child who had just gotten what
