"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
Warren and Evelyn got in the car and headed straight for the hospital.Evelyn rested in the ultrasound room and felt the icy device moving back and forth as it scanned her uterus. Her heartbeat began to quicken for no reason.Her worry stemmed from the fact that the scanner could tell if the baby had any defects.While Evelyn was pregnant, she had to survive through countless dangerous incidents. She worried all that would affect the baby.Evelyn's hands were cold. She held Warren's hand tightly as she spoke in a fearful tone. "Warren, I'm a little scared."Warren gently caressed her forehead and said some comforting words calmly. He said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."Despite his words, his palms were covered in sweat. The back of his shirt was drenched as well.Normally, the chances of a baby having defects were at two percent. However, Evelyn didn't just spend time being lost in the sea. She was also stabbed.All that traumatic experience couldn't have left the bab
Evelyn smiled and replied, "Ezra has a wife and kid. How is he a single idiot?""But he doesn't have a son. The Hawkins still don't have an heir. What's the point of marrying so young, then? He's nothing like me. I got myself an heir on my first try. Darling, isn't your husband awesome?"Seeing how proud he was, Evelyn felt that Warren was truly being himself at that moment.He was a man with flesh and blood. He experienced sorrow and joy like any regular guy. Warren wasn't acting the way he used to when he buried every single one of his emotions in his heart.Evelyn smiled and caressed his head. She agreed with him and said, "Yes, you are awesome. Here, let me reward you with a kiss."After saying that, Evelyn got closer to him and gave him a peck on his cheek.She was about to move away when Warren locked her waist in place tightly. His deep voice made its way into her ears."Thank you for reminding me. I have a son now, but I haven't thanked his mother. Thank you, Darling."
Jazzie hadn't had the chance to remove her make-up after shooting her scene. Hence, the red lipstick was especially bright.The straw had a thick, red circle on it.Ethan, who had always been terribly germaphobic, pretended not to notice. His lips lined up with the lipstick mark perfectly.He took a few sips and nodded in satisfaction. He said, "It's pretty good. If you're nice, I'll buy more for you."He stroked Jazzie's head a few times as though he were playing with a cat.Jazzie stared at him, dumbstruck. She secretly gritted her teeth."Ethan Xavier, you drank my iced tea!"Ethan arched his handsome brows as he looked at her. He said, "I bought the entire cup for you, so why can't I have a few sips? You're so selfish."Jazzie could tell that he was deliberately missing the point. She angrily fished a piece of tissue out of her pocket and scrubbed the straw as thoroughly as possible."Did you even brush your teeth before you sipped my drink? Your breath is so terrible. How
Two hours later, Ethan still hadn't returned.The restaurant called Jazzie once more."Ms. Hoffman, may I know when you'll arrive? If you aren't here in 30 minutes, we'll have to cancel your reservation."Jazzie looked out the window and said, "Okay, if I'm not there in 30 minutes, just go ahead and cancel my reservation."After hanging up the call, Jazzie left Ethan's office.She knew where the operating theatre was since she had shot a few scenes in the hospital before. She went straight for the elevator and only stepped out once it reached the tenth floor.Jazzie was thinking about heading to the operating theatre when she heard a woman's sob coming from the stairwell."Ethan, the surgery was a success, so why is she gone? That poor woman…"Jazzie stopped short.She recognized that voice. It was Ethan's junior, Davina, who spoke.Jazzie more or less guessed what was going on, then. It was likely that the patient they tried to rescue earlier had passed.Still, hearing Da
After murmuring to himself for a while, Ethan bought some soup and handed it to a nurse at the nurse's station. He left in a hurry after that.When he reached the restaurant, the Ferris wheel happened to be at the end of its current ride session.Seeing the couples leaving the ride together, Ethan felt a complex emotion swirling in his heart.He saw Jazzie standing all by her lonesome in the crowd of lovebirds, and that prompted him to dash over right away.He grabbed her wrist.His gaze shone with concern when he looked at her and demanded, "Jazzie, why did you come here on your own?"When Jazzie saw his face and realized who he was, she jerked her arm away.She was in a drunken stupor as she glared at Ethan and snapped, "What else am I supposed to do, then? Wait for you? Who do you think you are? Why should I wait for you?"After saying that, Jazzie turned around and left without looking back.Ethan immediately chased after her. He explained, "Davina passed out earlier becau
