Warren was in shock. He had suspected that Iris was the one behind all of it.However, suspicion and confirmation were two very different things.Warren suddenly felt a sting in his heart. It hurt so badly that he forgot to breathe.He muttered, "That's not possible. Iris can't be the one who murdered Sonya. There's no way she's Clara's biological mother, either. If that actually were the case, why would she try to get Clara and me together? Isn't she worried about incest?"Chet saw how tortured Warren seemed. The former sighed and replied, "I considered all that before. I also suspected that maybe you aren't Iris' son."Hearing those words, Warren gripped Chet's shirt and said, "That's possible. I'll do a DNA test. If she's Clara's biological mother, then there's no way she's mine."After saying that, Warren turned around to leave.However, Chet grabbed his wrist.He fished a DNA report out of his pocket and handed it to Warren. After that, he said, "I collected DNA from you a
After that, Warren clenched his fists and turned his attention to Wayne. He asked, "Iris' imprisonment, Clara's kidnapping of Evelyn, and the attempted assassination of Evelyn. Who is the mastermind who orchestrated all that?"Wayne shook his head and replied, "I have no idea who that is, either. He had always worn a black cloak and sat in a wheelchair. I couldn't see his face clearly. He planned for everything. If I didn't carry out his orders, he would kill my entire family."Mr. Larkin, I have told you everything I know. Please don't hurt my family."Wayne knelt on the floor and begged pitifully.Warren kicked the guy away and spoke in a harsh tone. He said, "Hand him over to the police and interrogate Iris again. We need her to tell us who Mrs. Potter really is, and who the mysterious mastermind is."Neither of you need to worry. I won't rescue her. She had this coming."After saying that, Warren turned around and left.Seeing his sorrowful figure, Chet couldn't help feeling
Evelyn leaned into Warren's arms and sobbed softly.The immense pain in her chest was more than what she could handle.There were so many times when she thought about asking the doctor to give her some painkillers. However, every time her words reached her lips, she would swallow them back.When she thought about how the medication might harm the fetus, she decided that she would endure all the pain.Warren was heartbroken when he kissed away the tears rolling down her cheeks. He cooed softly and suggested, "When I was hurt, your kisses would alleviate my pain. Maybe we should try that?"Evelyn's eyes were wet when she shifted her gaze. She looked suspicious when she asked, "Will that really work?""We can try it out. If it doesn't work, we'll try something else."As Warren spoke, his warm lips traced her cheek and slowly moved downward.When he came in contact with her soft lips, his voice became slightly deeper."Evie, do you remember the first time I kissed you?"His quest
Warren wondered when Evelyn fell for him. What if the first time they met hadn't been on that street?Seeing that Evelyn was finally asleep, Warren dared not disturb her. He simply kept his curiosity to himself.When Evelyn opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing she saw was Warren's unshaven face. She also noticed the dark circles under his eyes.She was a little heartbroken as she caressed his face for a bit. Having just woken up, her voice was a little hoarse."Hubby, it's time to shave."Warren tilted his head down and kissed her forehead. After that, he gently teased, "Does that mean you won't love me if I have a beard?"Evelyn grinned and replied, "That's not it. I'm just not used to it.""I'll shave later. Does your wound still hurt?""I feel much better now. Did you sleep at all last night?"Warren gently stroked her head and replied in a sweet voice. He said, "You don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine. As long as you and the baby are fine, I will be at
Hearing those words, Evelyn couldn't help laughing. Unfortunately, that movement reopened her wound and hurt her so much that she hissed.Warren immediately kicked Ethan and complained, "You stupid thing. My wife accidentally hurt herself because of you."Ethan stared at Jazzie's infuriated expression and calmly replied, "What? Do you find them too ugly or something? First, you touched them, and now you want to rip them off?"Seriously, Jazzie, have some heart. Think about how you had been depressed for the past few days and how I had been taking care of you."Hearing his words pissed Jazzie off even more. She roared, "Just wait, Ethan. I'll deal with you tonight. That's enough. I don't want to see you. Hand the phone to Evie."Ethan immediately handed the phone to Evelyn and then whispered his complaints to Warren. He said, "I have never seen a more short-tempered woman. I wonder who's the unlucky fellow destined to marry her."Warren stared mischievously at Ethan and said, "May
"However, my pride would not let me stay. I even broke up with her because I wanted to get to the top using my own strength. I have since earned my success, but she refuses to forgive me now. It seems I have let my true love slip out of my grasp."Seeing the look on his face, Jazzie could tell that he was truly in love.She patted his shoulder and smiled before she asked, "Tell me who that woman is. I will help you court her. There's no one I can't convince."Benjamin's smile was a little sad when he replied, "She is a very proud woman. She won't come back to me. I tried, but nothing worked.""Who is it? Is she some daughter of a prestigious family?"Benjamin's lips parted, but in the end, he said, "Never mind. Her family's power is more than what we can handle."Jazzie was about to keep prodding when she heard the director urging them. "Hurry up, you two," barked the impatient director. "We're having lunch after we finish shooting this scene."…Just to be safe, Evelyn stayed
Their car had just pulled up outside their home. It wasn't even properly parked yet when Bailey ran toward it and waited beside it. The dog kept wagging its tail in excitement. A low whimper escaped its throat.Warren got out of the car and crouched down to ruffle Bailey's fur for a bit. He ordered, "Stay away from your mom. There are germs on your fur, and that is not good for the baby."Bailey was upset and barked at Warren twice. However, it still retreated a few steps obediently.When Bailey saw Warren helping Evelyn out of the car, it barked at Evelyn.However, it remained in the same spot and never took a step forward.Evelyn waved at Bailey and said, "Come here, Bailey. Don't listen to your dad. Come play with me."Hearing her summons, Bailey ran toward Evelyn quickly. It circled her a few times before resting by her feet and whimpering.Evelyn caressed its fur and smiled. She said, "I miss you so much, but I can't hug you now. I'll do that after I give birth to the bab
Warren tilted his head down and kissed Evelyn's lips. After that, he asked, "How much do you love me?"Evelyn thought about it for a few seconds before she answered, "Enough to stay by your side even if death knocks on your door.""You idiot," replied Warren. He kissed her forehead. "If that day ever comes, I won't tell you."His hands cupped Evelyn's cheeks before he tilted his head down to rest his forehead against hers. Their warm breaths intertwined with each other.His deep, seductive voice rang in Evelyn's ears."From today onwards, I will protect you and the baby with my life. My life's purpose will be to bring happiness to you both. I love you, Darling."After he said that, his warm lips landed on Evelyn's. As they kissed, Evelyn moaned softly. She said, "I love you too, Hubby."After so many near-death experiences, the two of them were finally able to shed their grievances by sharing them with each other. The burden stemming from all those suppressed emotions was someth
