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
Afraid that he would hurt the children, Seth controlled his emotions. Still holding Jennifer's face, he kissed her over and over again.Now that they were intimate again, memories from three years ago instantly resurfaced in his mind.Back then, Jennifer was always smiling. When she saw that he had come to pick her up from school, she ran to him excitedly like a little bird.Then, she slipped into his arms and smiled up at him. "Seth, how did you know I missed you in class?"He had laughed and pinched her nose. "You came here to learn, not to think about boys in class."Jennifer had rubbed her face against his chest. "Thinking about boys doesn't affect my studies. I'm top of the class again. You should reward me."Seth had smiled in delight. "You're amazing. What kind of reward do you want? Just tell me."With a playful twinkle in her eyes, Jennifer had gotten on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear, "I want you."Seth's face had instantly turned red. He had rubbed Jennifer's
Only when the sky began to brighten did Jennifer finally pass out in Seth's arms in exhaustion. Just like that, the two of them had lost their virginity to each other.Ever since then, they moved in together.Recalling these memories, Seth felt an indescribable emotion within him. It felt wonderful but also bitter.If he had understood Jennifer a little better and knew how much she had suffered because of him, he wouldn't have broken up with her.He wouldn't have hurt Jennifer so deeply.Seth kissed Jennifer slowly, the same way he had during their first time.His mouth kept mumbling, "Jennifer, I'm sorry."Before she knew it, Jennifer's tears had slid down her cheeks, into her mouth.All the unhappiness and indignation were captured in her tears.However, being so prideful, she had never uttered a word to Seth about how miserable she had been when he first left her.She hadn't dared to tell her family about the pregnancy, but she hadn't wanted Seth to pity her either.Sh
Looking at her son's expectant face, Jennifer couldn't bear to disappoint him. She pecked Albert's forehead and said gently, "Dad and I will let you sleep with us tonight."Upon hearing this, Albert's eyes widened in pleasant surprise. "Really? I'm so happy Mom and Dad will sleep with me."He kissed Jennifer's cheek and then grinned at Seth. "Dad, aren't you happy that Mom agreed to sleep with you?"Seth pinched his chubby cheeks and laughed. "I am.""Since you're happy, why don't you show it? You don't know anything. No wonder Mom doesn't like you."After getting lectured by his son, Seth instantly understood what he meant. He leaned toward Jennifer and pecked her softly on the lips. "Thank you," he said tenderly.Jennifer didn't react badly to it. She simply pulled Albert into her arms and covered him with the blanket, listening to Seth tell a bedtime story.Just like that, the family of three slowly went to sleep.The next day, when Albert opened his eyes, Seth and Jennifer
"Sure, don't worry about me. Jazzie said she's coming over to keep me company today. She bought a lot of things for the baby. She's doing a great job at being a godmother, but I just don't know when the godfather will step up."Warren rubbed her head, smiling. "Ethan won't be able to court Jazzie that easily. She has something she can hold over his head."Evelyn looked up at him curiously. "Are you hiding something from me? You always put on this attitude whenever I mention those two. Don't tell me that Ethan did something bad behind Jazzie's back?""It's something like that. We'd better not get involved in this. Both of them need to get used to each other's temperaments. After all, you can't have a rainbow without a little rain. Just like us—not even death could separate us." He gently smoothed his fingers over Evelyn's eyebrows. His dark gaze couldn't hide the tenderness in his eyes.What he and Evelyn went through did not separate them, but it made them love each other even mo
