After Evelyn showed Bonnie to the door, she bumped into Seth and his family.Albert's forehead was bandaged up. Evidently, he was injured.Evelyn immediately walked over and asked with concern, "Albert, why are you hurt? Is it painful?"When Albert saw Evelyn, the tears that he had held back while getting his injuries treated instantly overflowed. He reached out toward her and said sadly, "Aunt Evelyn, it hurts really badly. I want a hug."Just as Evelyn was about to hug him, Jennifer stopped him. "Aunt Evelyn has a baby in her tummy. Don't ask for hugs.""Then I want kisses," Albert said unhappily.Evelyn placed an arm around his neck and pecked his cheek. With an aching heart, she said, "You have to be careful not to get hurt in the future. If you do, you'll lose a lot of blood. It's not good for your condition, got it?"Albert nodded obediently. "I know. Once Mom gives birth to my baby brother, then I can get surgery."Evelyn looked up at Jennifer in surprise. "Jennifer, you
When Jennifer realized the car was about to hit them, she pushed Evelyn aside without any regard for herself.There was a loud thud as the car hit her, sending her flying a few feet. Finally, she crashed onto the ground.Her first response was to protect her child. Just as she hit the ground, she protected her belly with her arm.Her arm bore the most of the impact as a sharp pain traveled up.At that moment, she heard Seth calling her name in a panic, "Jennifer!"He rushed to her side to help her up. However, Jennifer gritted her teeth through the pain and said, "Albert is in the car. Save him."Seth looked up and happened to see the car driving toward the gate. He immediately got up and ran toward it without a second thought.He reached into the open window and grabbed the car's steering wheel with a death grip, engaging in a fierce grapple with the man in the mask.In order to shake him off, the man in the mask turned the steering wheel left and right, trying to throw him of
When Seth saw how Jennifer wasn't so much as even frowning, his throat tightened.In his mind, Jennifer was a privileged young woman who led a luxurious life. Back then, whenever she got a small cut on her finger, she would end up shedding tears.Now, despite her serious injuries, she was still so calm.He wondered just what she had gone through while taking care of Albert alone during the last three years.He stretched his arm out next to her mouth and said hoarsely, "If you can't stand the pain, you can bite my arm."Jennifer shook her head gently. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Despite saying that, when the doctor helped reset her bones, she still sweated buckets from the pain. Her teeth nearly shattered from how hard she was clenching her jaw, and she buried her fingers so deeply in Seth's arm that her nails pierced through his skin.Despite everything, she didn't even make a sound.As the doctor helped splint her arm, he couldn't stop praising her. "You're the strong
A satisfied smile spread across Lucas' face when he heard his son's words. He patted Seth's shoulder and said gruffly, "Bring Jennifer home and let her recover. We'll have the family doctor take care of her, so she'll be alright."Jennifer immediately objected. "No need, my father will come pick me up. Please just take Albert home with you.""Jennifer, all of this is my fault. I need to take responsibility. Or else, I'll lose my job. I just hope that you'll give me a chance to make it up to you."Lucas' grave words made it hard for Jennifer to refuse again.At that moment, Harry rushed in with his men. With a serious expression, he said, "The Miles family can take care of our own daughter. We wouldn't want to trouble you, Mr. Yarrow."As he approached Jennifer, his eyes filled with heartache and sympathy. He gently brushed the hair from Jennifer's forehead and said, "You silly goose, do you remember what I said? You're not a saint. Don't forgive everyone and anyone. Never forget t
Evelyn immediately drew her hand back and shook her head. "Mr. Miles, I can't take this.""Don't be silly. I'm giving this to Warren. He's hurt, so I should give him a little something. Or else, that punk will hold it against me."Upon hearing that explanation, Evelyn took the envelope with money in it. She nodded with a smile and said sweetly, "Thanks, Uncle Harry."Her cute demeanor was an exact copy of Sonya when she was younger.Harry rubbed Evelyn's head with affection. "Take me there. We'll just drop by quickly before leaving."As Lucas watched them leave, he glared at Seth. "You useless thing, how long has it been? Have you still not made Jennifer yours? Just what are you thinking?"Seth's expression darkened. "I've tried to pursue her, but she doesn't want it. I can't do anything about it."Lucas snorted coldly. "Oh, you've tried pursuing her, have you? All you did was follow her to her old home. If not for me, Sally wouldn't have let you into the Mileses' home. Do you t
Before Harry could process what he just heard, someone knocked on the door.Two men in blue uniforms entered. One greeted Warren politely and said, "Mr. Larkin, we've brought the documents over. We already have your and Mrs. Larkin's identification documents. The only thing missing is a signature. Then, we can give you your marriage certificate."Warren looked down at the surprised woman in his arms. He gently pinched her cheeks and said with a grin, "Grandma was right—if I don't marry you soon, the baby will come first. There's no better time than today, so I called the city hall officials over. Anyhow, we're only missing the last step before you become mine. Mrs. Larkin, are you ready?"Evelyn still hadn't moved on from what happened to Jennifer, and all of a sudden, she was getting married. She gaped at Warren in both shock and delight. She couldn't disguise the joy in her voice. "Warren, this time, there won't be any mishaps, right?"Warren looked at her tenderly. "No. In one m
That one sentence left Harry speechless. He already knew that it wasn't easy to deal with this punk.But seeing how they had finally reached this step, he was also happy for them.Although he still couldn't acknowledge Evelyn as his relative yet, he would still give a wedding gift as her uncle.He took out a card from his pocket and gave it to Evelyn. There was a complicated look in his eyes. "Evie, take this and buy anything you need for your marriage. Once you have your wedding, Grandma and I will give you the other gifts."Evelyn shook her head. "This is too much. I can't accept this, but thanks for your kindness." However, as soon as she said that, Warren took the card from Harry's hands and put it inside Evelyn's pocket. "Don't be silly, darling. We can't reject a wedding gift; it's a bad omen. We'll just take whatever he gives us, okay?""How come I've never heard of that saying?""No one will tell a young woman these things. Just take it. It's just something small from m
After the director shouted "Action!", Jazzie walked into the frame.She surveyed the surroundings in the room, but she didn't spot any trace of the man. All she heard was the sound of the shower running.She strode toward the shower. Just as she was about to knock on the glass, the door opened.A tall man appeared in front of her.Benjamin had a great figure—he had broad shoulders, long legs, and an eight-pack.A black towel hung low around his waist. The contrast of the towel against his tan skin was alluring, igniting lust in the people watching.This was Jazzie's second time seeing a man dressed like this, the first being Ethan. She couldn't help but diss him internally. That bastard, Ethan, always said that he had a great body, but it was a far cry from Benjamin's figure.The latter had bigger pecs and an eight-pack, while Ethan only had a six-pack…Suddenly, Jazzie put a stop to those thoughts.Why was she thinking about that bastard right now?Was this hunk in front of
