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
"We must have crossed paths, but I don't know who she was to me. I wonder why I don't remember her at all."Evelyn replied, "That's not all that strange. Mrs. Potter was in a fire and suffered burns to her face. Back then, she always wore a veil. No one had seen her face, not even me."She didn't remember a thing, not even her own name. But because she made excellent wine, the villagers all called her Madam Vintner, and Dennis was known as Little Vintner."When Warren heard this, his heart clenched.So Dennis used to be known as Little Vintner, which meant that the "Vinny" that Evelyn called out for in her dreams was him.Just how deep of a relationship did they share for her to call out his name in her dreams?At the thought of this, Warren gritted his teeth. He wished he could worm inside her brain and delete all the memories she had of him. That way, he would be the only man in her heart.If nothing had happened to Sonya, he would have been the one to have grown up with Evely
By the time Warren rushed to the Larkin Manor, several fire trucks were already parked there. He clenched his fists as he watched the raging flames. Walking over to his father, he asked, "What happened inside? How did the fire start?"Chester frowned deeply. "I don't know where Iris got the gasoline. She sent the housekeepers away and then tried to set herself on fire in the bedroom. I don't know how she's doing right now. The firefighters are inside trying to save her."Upon hearing that, Warren's eyes darkened. "How do you know that she set herself on fire?""Before she lit the fire, she video-called me and said some strange things. Then, she set herself on fire in front of me."Warren, the media can't find out about this. Or else, they will label you as a disrespectful son. Before Iris is proven guilty, the outside world will think that you put your mother on house arrest for your wife's sake. The Larkin Corporation's shares will nosedive because of it."Warren's eyes turned
"Warren, the game has just begun. The fun part has yet to start."The assistant stood beside the man nodded and said, "Sir, we'll definitely harm the Larkin Corporation this time. Warren will get bashed on the internet, and our plan can continue."The man grinned sinisterly. "The more Warren wants something, the harder I'll try to destroy it. I just want to see whether he's capable of fighting me head-on."Having said that, he picked up his wine glass and casually took a sip. A dark look crossed his eyes, and he grabbed his thigh which no longer had any sensation.The memories from years before surfaced in his mind.At that moment, the assistant received a call. Afterward, he shared an update with the man. "Sir, the people on-site said that Warren has dashed into the fire to save Iris."The man narrowed his eyes.The blaze was huge, yet Warren still dared to rush inside.Was he really not afraid of death?Letting out a cold chuckle, the man said, "Since he wants to die so badl
The entire building exploded, shooting flames into the air. Even the people who had just escaped felt the blast.Raymond rushed over with his men to save Iris. Then, he gazed up at the shell of the home that was still engulfed in flames. "Where's Mr. Larkin? Why hasn't he come down yet?" he asked urgently. "In order to save Mrs. Larkin, Mr. Larkin asked us to jump first. He's still inside."Raymond immediately panicked. "What the hell? He's the son of the Larkin family. If he dies, our entire department will be on the chopping block!"He quickly formed a crew of firefighters to try to put out the fire, but the blaze was just too ferocious. Moreover, there was a chance of a third explosion. The fire may even spread to the entire Larkin Manor.At that moment, someone rushed over and said, "Captain, someone tampered with the gas pipes. It's been fixed now, so it's unlikely that there will be another explosion.""Has the electricity been cut?""Yes.""Alright. You guys, come wit
