Evelyn had already guessed what Warren had decided.If that weren't the case, he would've been right beside her to watch over her.Evelyn closed her eyes as sorrow filled her. Tears rolled down her cheeks and landed on the pillow.Evelyn didn't want to let go. She simply couldn't bear to do so.She thought about how things would be for Warren if she left and wondered how his life would be if he were all alone.Evelyn shook her head and refused to admit defeat. She said, "I don't believe this. He wouldn't be okay with us being apart. I don't think that he'd be okay with abandoning this relationship, either. Jazzie, I want to talk to him."Jazzie fished a tissue out and helped Evelyn wipe her tears. After that, Jazzie said, "He went to Milania and claimed he'd only be back a few days later. He asked me to come and keep you company.""What happened the last few days? Tell me all about it.""Nothing much. Mostly just business competitions and corporate wars. Dennis has taken over t
Evelyn's heart was aching so much that the pain felt at its limit. Still, she kept her emotions under control. All she did was tear up quietly.She shifted her gaze up and looked right at Warren. Her voice was thick with tears when she said, "When we got married, you made a promise, Warren. You said that we'd be together for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."Are those vows just words from a script to you?""Evie, I'm sorry. I don't want to see you getting hurt again. If we are separated, both the Miles family and the Sullivan family will regain their strength. You and Dad will be safe, too."Russell knows that you are my weakness. That's why he kept going after you."I can't go all out and focus on this war with you beside me. For the sake of rescuing my mother and my grandfather, and for the sake of getting revenge for our child, I must leave you."Evie, you have lost too much because of me. I don't want my problems
"Okay, I'll head over later," said Evelyn.She drove to Jennifer's place soon after.The living room was packed with things for babies. There were toys, bottles, and diapers. Every inch of the room was filled with the unique scent of babies.All that made Evelyn's nose a little runny. She couldn't help tearing up as well.She thought about how if her baby had survived, he would be over a month old at the time. The baby would already be able to smile at her.Those thoughts made Evelyn's heart ache horribly.When Jennifer walked down the stairs, she saw Evelyn in that state. Jennifer felt bad seeing her that way.She made her way to Evelyn and held Evelyn's hand before she said, "You're thinking about the baby, aren't you?"Evelyn nodded calmly. Her eyes were wet when she looked at Jennifer."I keep getting the feeling that he's still alive. I also have this strange sense that he's right beside me. Every night, I dream of him smiling at me. Jennifer, do you think that maybe I ha
Jennifer grabbed her phone and pointed it at Evelyn before she said, "Evie, let me take a photo of you and Havyn together. You can hold Damien and take photos with him after he wakes up. You should have a look at the photos when you're free. That way, you'd feel better."There was no way Evelyn couldn't understand what Jennifer was implying.Evelyn smiled sorrowfully and then positioned Havyn to face the camera.She tilted her head down and stared at him before instructing, "Look at your mommy, Havyn. Let's take a photo together."Havyn's big, round eyes shone with intelligence as he stared at Evelyn. He left his tiny fist inside his mouth.Evelyn pointed at Jennifer and said, "Havyn, Aunt Evelyn said to look at your mommy. She's going to take a photo of us."Havyn kept staring at Evelyn anyway. His tiny lips made some more noises but no one knew what he was trying to say.When Seth entered the room, he happened to witness everything. He got close to Jennifer and whispered int
"Fine, I'll work harder to court my baby mommy. Will that do?" asked Seth.Seeing the way Seth and Jennifer argued made Evelyn feel happy for them.However, a sense of familiarity washed over her, and the memory of her lost love stabbed her heart.She immediately got up and said, "I should head back. Have a safe flight tomorrow. I have to go to court so I won't be sending you off.""Okay, there's no need to send us off. Remember to come visit the kids more often."Evelyn left Jennifer's place in her car. In a daze, she made her way to the baby's grave.Evelyn placed a bouquet of fresh flowers on the grave. She crouched down and used a piece of tissue to clean the tombstone.Drop by drop, tears dripped onto the tombstone.In a voice thick with tears, she said, "Mommy went to visit your aunt's babies today. They are both incredibly adorable. If you were alive, you'd likely be just like them."After saying that, Evelyn crouched down on the ground and placed her forehead on her kn
After Skyler returned to Milania, she moved into a secluded mansion to care for her father. Russell was responsible for delivering her food and other essentials.At first, Skyler didn't think much of it. However, she later realized that something was wrong.Guards were stationed everywhere, and she was not allowed to go anywhere without a guard's company.Worse still, her phone was limited to browsing news inside Milania. She had no way of learning what was happening elsewhere. She couldn't contact anyone outside, either.Even Dennis seemed to be calling her less frequently.Skyler finally understood what was going on then. She thought that Chester was right to be suspicious. There truly was something off with her brother, Russell.Skyler couldn't learn what was going on outside Milania, but she truly wanted to know how things were going with Warren's company.She also wanted to know if Evelyn had given birth or why she hadn't been in contact.That afternoon, Skyler secretly
Skyler's mental state had regressed to the way it was over 20 years ago.Russell looked at her and then pulled her off the ground.His tone was extremely calming when he said, "Skyler, don't be scared. It's me, Russell. I've come to rescue you."Skyler stared at him with tears all over her face. Her beautiful face seemed tainted with hatred all of a sudden.She parted her lips and bit Russell's shoulders without any warning.She practically used every bit of her energy in that bite.It hurt Russell so much that he hissed.The bodyguards were going to pull her away when Russell stopped them. He wanted to see if the fire had helped Skyler regain her memory or if it had turned her insane once more.Skyler almost bit a piece of flesh off of Russell's shoulders.It wasn't until she was utterly exhausted did she finally let go.She passed out in Russell's arms after that.A complex glow revealed itself in Russell's gaze when he stared at Skyler's dirty face.In a deep voice, he a
At that moment, Dennis had guessed what his mother had been doing.Skyler pretended to be mentally unstable so that she'd be assigned to live with Dennis.Dennis gently caressed his mother's head and asked, "Mom, did you recover your memories?"Skyler was crying so much that she could barely speak. She did her best to suppress her emotions.After that, she said, "Warren and Winnie are my children, Dennis. They are your brother and sister."Hearing those words, Dennis' eyes became watery with tears.It confirmed that Evelyn's guess was correct. Skyler was the real Iris.As Dennis helped Skyler wipe her tears away, he said, "Mom, things are dire right now. The nanny might wake up at any moment, so we have to keep things short. What happened all those years ago?"Skyler sniffled.After that, she said, "Your father, Chester, and Russell were both my colleagues at the university. Russell fell for me when we were in school, but I had already started dating your father. I turned Russ
