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
Why was it Iris?She used to be Sonya's best friend.Before she died, Sonya had trusted Iris so much that she had betrothed her unborn daughter to Iris' son.Why did Iris have to do this to Sonya?Not only did she have an affair with Sonya's husband, but she even gave birth to a daughter.In order to give her daughter a better life, she went so far as to betray their years-long friendship and kill Sonya.Because of that, Evelyn had ended up living a life of poverty.While these thoughts ran through her mind, she bawled.She had thought about it before—no matter who the murderer was, she would find them and avenge her mother.However, she never imagined that that person would be Iris.Iris, the mother of the man she loved the most.What would happen to her and Warren?His mother had killed her mother. Their relationship was stained by her mother's blood now.Evelyn couldn't stop herself from trembling. Her body slowly slid from the bed to the floor. "Why did it turn out t
Warren tightly clenched his fist, slamming it against the wall.All of a sudden, there was blood dripping down the white walls.All he could think about was Evelyn locking herself up in the room and sobbing.Ever since she got pregnant, she had been through so much. It hadn't been easy for her to get to this point, but fate dealt her another blow.Warren felt like knives were stabbing into his heart, causing it to gush with blood. His voice was raw as he said, "Evie, I'm right outside. If there's anything, you have to tell me, okay?"Hearing that he was nearly begging, Evelyn began to cry even harder. She stared at the door with tears streaming down her face. "Warren, you should go. I just want to be alone. I won't hurt the baby," she said, getting choked up.Those words were a stab to the depths of his heart.The person that she didn't want to see the most was him. His name was now on her blacklist.Thinking about this, Warren's eyes flashed with pain. He clenched his fist t
When Skyler heard this, she immediately took the hair clip off her head. Staring at the camera hidden under the pearl, she said incredulously, "How is this possible? I bought this at the mall yesterday. How could someone have tampered with it?"Realizing what had happened because Evelyn had found out about the truth, she began to tear up, blaming herself.Seeing her in this state, Chester tried to comfort her. "I wasn't blaming you, Skyler. Try and think carefully. Besides you, did anyone else touch this hair clip?"Skyler shook her head. "No. After I bought it yesterday, I kept it in my bag. Last night, I was alone at home. Even Dennis didn't come over. I don't know when this camera was installed."The more she spoke, the more upset she felt. If she hadn't worn this hair clip to the trial, Evelyn wouldn't have found out about this. She shook her head self-reproachfully and said, "Chester, you have to believe me. I didn't put the camera there. I really don't know what happened."S
Hesitating beside his car, Warren looked up at the house. When he saw Evelyn standing by the window watching him silently, he suddenly had the urge to rush upstairs and pull her into his arms.But he didn't.He just stood there quietly, gazing at her deeply.The two of them remained that way. One of them stood on the balcony, while the other stood in the courtyard. They stared at each other for a long time.Every minute felt like torture.Evelyn had just managed to calm down. However, the moment she saw Warren, tears streamed down her face again.She knew that this had nothing to do with Warren. She shouldn't put the blame on him.She had once said that she wouldn't let the hurt that Iris inflicted on her affect Warren.However, in the end, she was still a normal human. She couldn't set aside what happened to her mother to be with Warren. Every time she saw Warren, she thought about how her mother had been killed by the person closest to her. At the time, her heart must have
Back then, Warren had lost his eyesight, while 11 had lost her voice. Hence, they communicated using Facebook.This was an accessible phone that was specially made for blind people. Every message would be read out loud.Furthermore, he had used this number just to communicate with 11. He had never contacted anyone else.He stared at the message on his phone in a daze."99, do you see me? I'm waving at you."This meant that the girl in front of him was the 11 that he had been looking for the whole time.Once again, he looked in her direction. The girl gestured at him in sign language. "99, it's been a while."Warren stilled when he saw this.This was the only sign language that 11 had taught him that time.At the time, she had told him that if they were to meet again, she would use this gesture to communicate with him. If he saw this gesture, he would be able to tell that that was her.Standing there, Warren's dark gaze stared at the girl by the window.All of this informatio
