Reflecting on the past, waves crashed against Warren's heart.He and Evelyn had been betrothed since they were young. Even though they ended up separated afterward, the gears of fate still brought them together.As promised, he had become her husband. They even had a child now.Warren deepened the kiss as he unlocked the gates to his memories.He only slowly released Evelyn after hearing Chet arrive home.He gently rubbed the slightly red corners of Evelyn's eyes. "I'll give you a proper loving tonight when we get home," he said huskily.That sentence made Evelyn's already red face heat up even more.At that moment, Chet opened the door. When he saw Evelyn in that state, he couldn't stop himself from glaring at Warren. "She's pregnant. Can't you control yourself?"Warren slung an arm around Evelyn's shoulders as he walked out. "Appropriate amounts of intimacy help with the baby's emotional development. But you wouldn't understand even if I tried to explain it to you, you old ba
It was the first time the gentle and magnanimous Skyler was being so stubborn.She only had one thought in mind—to convict Iris so that Warren and Evelyn wouldn't be in danger anymore.Every time the couple got hurt, her heart would hurt along with them. She felt a similar pain in her heart when she worried about Dennis.Seeing her determination, Russell's eyes darkened slightly. He turned around to look at Dennis. "The reason I disagree is for your mother's safety. I will never agree to let her take any risk. Dennis, what do you think?"Dennis gave Russell a complicated look. "Your concern is not unreasonable, Uncle Russell, but my mother has already made up her mind. I'm afraid that none of us can stop her. It's only a hypothesis that going to the Larkin Manor will awaken Mom's memories. Why don't I take her to have a look before making a decision?""No. Are you planning to get acknowledged as a Larkin by doing something so impulsive as going to the Larkin Manor? What if Chester
With an easy familiarity, Skyler walked to the cupboard at the back of the living room and took out the first aid kit. She rifled through its contents until she found the burn cream.Unscrewing the cap, she squeezed the cream onto the tip of a cotton bud and gently applied it to the burn on Chester's leg.Everyone in the room was shocked, but no one said a word. They just quietly observed her actions.Once the burn was attended to, Skyler's frown finally relaxed. She looked up gently at Chester. "The burn isn't serious. You'll be fine after a few days."The housekeeper next to her was nearly in tears from fear. She bowed her head and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Larkin. This is all my fault. I will accept punishment."Skyler got up and looked at the housekeeper warmly. Her voice was light and didn't carry a single trace of anger at all. "Don't worry, Mrs. Westly. You've worked for the Larkins for so many years, so of course mistakes can happen. Why don't you start cl
Dennis glanced at Bonnie's hand and happened to see a bandage on her finger. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Larkin Senior. I'll definitely eat more."Seeing that he seemed to have warmed up, Bonnie nodded in relief. "Since you like it, have as many as you like. I'll make more when you come to visit again."Evelyn picked up the tray and shoved it into Dennis' hands. Smiling, she said, "Let's go eat over there."As they were about to walk away, they heard Warren's voice. "Evie, you can only have one cookie. At the prenatal appointment a few days ago, your blood sugar was near the upper limit. You have to watch yourself, got it?"He walked over and rubbed Evelyn's lower back, looking at her with heartache. "You rushed here bright and early in the morning and have been busy since. You must be exhausted. Go and get some rest."Evelyn nodded obediently. "Then can I have some chips?""No.""Can't I just have five pieces? Didn't you hear the doctor say that happin
Evelyn had nearly gone crazy from cabin fever. Now that she knew they were going somewhere, she couldn't sleep.The entire way, she kept her eyes peeled, watching the streets curiously.They left the city and drove all the way to the outskirts. The winding mountain roads finally lulled Evelyn to sleep.She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard Warren calling her name. "Babe, we're here."Evelyn opened her eyes blearily to see nothing but pitch-black darkness. Beyond the darkness were countless shining stars.The sky was dark, and the night was silent.There was no bustling from the city; all she could hear was the faint chirping of insects.Only then did Evelyn realize that they were at the peak of a mountain.The limitless sky stretched above their heads.Overjoyed, she asked Warren, "Where are we?"Warren took her hand and helped her get out of the car. Pointing at the observation deck in front, he said, "This is the best place to look at the stars in the wh
Warren took out a ring box from his pocket and slowly opened it. He retrieved the smaller ring and slid it into Evelyn's middle finger. "This was the ring you wanted to propose to me with. When I found it, I knew that you were 11. "I was grateful to the person who pretended to be you. If it weren't for her, I still might not know that my wife had already loved me for three years."After he finished speaking, he planted a kiss on Evelyn's lips. "Let me love you from now on. I'll make up the past seven years to you, alright?"Evelyn sniffled. "Why did you bring me here?"Warren smoothed a finger over her eyebrows and said, "I remember you told me back then that you wanted to take me to see the stars once my eyes were healed. Mrs. Larkin, my eyes were healed seven years ago, yet you never took me. Neither did you tell me that you were 11. I was searching for you so hard."But now, it's good that I know. Even without knowing about our previous relationship, I already love you so mu
When Dennis heard that, he also took a deep puff of his cigarette on his balcony. "I think so too. Maybe my mother looked a lot like Iris before she was disfigured."Warren replied lowly, "They also have similar handwriting. Thus, one of them must be trying to pose as the other for some reason, to the point where my father couldn't even tell them apart. This must be why he had no impression of Mrs. Potter whatsoever."Because from the start, Mrs. Potter must have appeared as Iris, so no one realized. Only after she became pregnant did Iris start feeling threatened and wanted to get rid of her."Dennis had no objections to Warren's analysis. He simply frowned and said in a hushed voice, "So, I'm still the illegitimate son, and my mother is still the shameful mistress, right?"His voice sounded off. Warren immediately tried to comfort him, "If we want to know the truth, we should investigate your mother's background first. Now, based on our analysis, we know that she must have resemb
"No, he's just coming to help me. But, those shares should have belonged to him anyway. I also want to have more time to keep Evelyn company," Warren said."Alright, I'll be there tomorrow morning," Seth replied."How's the baby?"They were both fathers. Only a parent would be able to understand the impact of nearly losing a child.Seth sighed. "The doctor did fetal heart rate monitoring on Jennifer yesterday. If there are any issues, they will let us know immediately. If things are good, we may be able to hold on until 32 weeks."A normal baby was only born after 37 weeks. If a baby was born at 32 weeks, it would need to be placed in an incubator, and the likelihood of survival was low.Not to mention, Jennifer had two babies.If Jennifer couldn't hold on until the due date, the sick child would not survive. On the other hand, the other baby would still be born premature, so the likelihood of survival would still be low.Hearing this, Warren pursed his lips. "I know the best p
