When Ethan said those words, everyone turned their attention to him.Warren arched his brows and dissed, "My god, how long has it been since you last scored? Did you really need to work so hard? Just look at how weak you are. You're panting so hard even now. You should eat more later."Ethan got so enraged that he kicked Warren and clarified, "I'm only panting because I ran over just now. It was just one night. I could've given it to her for three days straight, and I still wouldn't be worn out."When Chet heard that, he reached out and kicked Ethan's back. Ethan immediately jumped in pain."What the hell, Chet? Are you jealous because I got myself a girl?"Chet replied rudely, "It was only one night, but you're already so insanely proud. Don't forget that one night means nothing. True accomplishment is if you can have the girl every night."Ethan pointed at them and complained, "What? Are you guys looking down on me? Just wait. I'll make this relationship official soon."Their
Warren fished a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to Chester."You've been hanging out with Mrs. Potter for some time now. Have you found any clues? Who is she? What happened to the two of you in the past? Has she recovered any memories at all?"Warren took out his lighter and helped Chester light up his cigarette. Chester took a deep puff before he grimly replied, "She knows a lot about my habits, and sometimes, she would share a story about what happened in the past."However, I have investigated every woman I was in contact with in the past. No one like her ever showed up in my life."I wondered if I had amnesia, so I had the doctor examine me as well. In the end, the good doctor told me that I have a very healthy brain. What do you think is going on here? Could it be that she had traveled here from the future or past, just like in a novel?"Hearing those words made Warren's lips twitch a little before he said, "Time travel is just bullshit from science fiction novels.
Evelyn gently rubbed Warren's back, puzzled. "Warren, did Dad say something to you?" Warren quickly denied it. "No, it's just... I suddenly had this fear that you might leave me." "How could I? Our baby is about to be born, and I need you to earn money to raise our child. Don't overthink. "You've been under too much pressure lately. Go and have a drink with your friends today," Evelyn said. She gently caressed Warren's face and stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Feel better now?" she asked, smiling. Warren wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close. His dark eyes were filled with unspoken emotions. His warm lips brushed lightly against Evelyn's cheek as he whispered hoarsely, "As long as you're here, I fear nothing." With that, he lowered his head and kissed her soft lips. They stood on the lawn, sharing a passionate kiss in the midday sun. Warren let go of all his worries, immersing himself in the joy of having Evelyn in his arms. His kisses g
Chester extended his arm and pulled Skyler into his embrace. Ever since reconnecting with her, he felt rejuvenated, as if he had a second lease on life. He felt as if he were young again, his heart beating with an unfamiliar excitement. Just then, Skyler's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered, "Hello, Russell. What's up?" A deep voice came from the other end. "Skyler, I'm in Bramston City. Let's meet tonight. "It's been too long since I last saw you and Dennis. Dad had me send some supplements for both of you." "Sounds great. Let's meet at my place this evening. I'm at a friend's house right now, but I'll head back this afternoon," Skyler replied. "Alright, see you tonight." Hanging up the call, Skyler's excitement was palpable. "My brother is in town. He'll be coming over tonight. I'll head home after lunch." It was the first time Chester had heard her mention about her family. Cautiously, he asked, "You have a brother? Why didn't Dennis mention him
Russell was taken aback. "Why? You two were so in love. How did it end in divorce?" Chester shook his head with a rueful smile. "It's a long story. I'll explain another time. You two go ahead. I have some things to take care of." With that, he got back in his car and drove away. As Chester's car disappeared from sight, Russell suddenly asked, "Do you like him?" Skyler didn't hesitate to share her feelings. "He's Dennis' father, but I can't remember ever being with him. The injuries I sustained were from his ex-wife, Iris. "She's the one who's been hunting me, but I can't recall my past well enough to testify against her. That's why I want to try desensitization therapy." Russell's previously gentle expression turned icy. "I won't let you do that. Dad went through so much to find you, and I won't allow anything to happen to you. "He must have wronged you back then. After all, there were always girls lining up to be with him." Curious, Skyler gazed at him and queried, "Ar
With this in mind, Warren turned to Seth empathically. "You should spend more time with Jennifer. As an expectant mother, she must be feeling vulnerable right now. "I haven't told Evie about this. I fear it might unsettle her," Warren confessed. "Don't tell her. Her due date is in three months. Safety first," Seth replied. They then delved into the issue surrounding Iris. By the time Warren left the office, the clock had ticked past 7:00 pm. Passing a flower shop, he picked up a bouquet and then swung by a dessert shop for a cake. As soon as he arrived home, Warren spotted Evelyn and Bailey on the swing. Upon his return, Bailey bounded toward him, wagging his tail around Warren's feet and letting out playful whines. Bending down, Warren gently scolded Bailey with a few pinches on the neck. "How many times must I tell you to stay away from Mom? Why don't you listen?" Bailey huffed in response before trotting off. Carrying the cake and bouquet, Warren approached Evelyn
When Evelyn felt its warmth against her icy fingertips, she recoiled in surprise. "What are you doing? Dad is outside," she grumbled. Warren pulled her into a gentle embrace, kissing her forehead. "Did I scare you? It's not like you haven't felt this before. He's been unusually excited these days; he must miss you. "Darling, tonight, can we..." Before he could finish, Evelyn silenced him with her palm. "No way, the doctor said the last three months are risky. No intimacy allowed." Playfully kissing her palm, Warren chuckled, "I'm joking. I have good self-control. Once our son is born and you've recovered, we'll leave him with his grandparents, and I'll take you on our honeymoon. "You've always wanted to see the Northern Lights and the Grand Ravine, haven't you? We'll go together." Listening to him, Evelyn already envisioned scenes of happiness in her mind. She imagined herself nestled close to Warren, experiencing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights and gazing at the majest
Only when Warren saw that Evelyn had gone to sleep did he walk into the study.At that moment, he received an email from Charlie."Mr. Larkin, this is the portrait that was drawn based on that photo of Zayn. The police are already looking for him based on the portrait."Staring at the photo on the screen, Warren frowned.Zayn had refined facial features. The computer-generated portrait of him as an adult made him look so gentle.Someone who looked so elegant could actually be so vicious.Warren immediately typed a reply. "Look into the backgrounds of every faction leader in the Dark Gust Society. Perhaps he is hiding amongst them."…A month later, it was time for the first trial of the murder of Sonya.The evidence for the case was solid, so the trial progressed smoothly. Iris pleaded guilty the entire way.However, when the judge asked about Skyler, Iris refused to admit her guilt.Seeing her lack of remorse in court, Warren's heart seized with pain.How he wished that th
