The setting sun cast a warm orange glow in the study room.Heather sat on the office desk, and Tyrone stood in front of her. His one hand held her slender neck, the other arm tightly around her waist, pulling her closer in his embrace, kissing her deeply.A breeze brushed by, lifting Heather's white skirt lightly against Tyrone's black trousers.After a while, Tyrone released Heather.His thumb gently rubbed against her crimson and tender cheek as he whispered in a husky voice, "Are you hungry?"Heather's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, blushing as she looked at him. "Didn't you book a restaurant? Let's go.""How did you know?" Tyrone raised an eyebrow."Um, Caleb told me. He said you were scolding someone," Heather said.Tyrone was speechless. How dare Caleb complain to Heather. He must be tired of living!Meanwhile, Caleb suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and felt a sudden chill down his spine. What was happening?…At Vista Palace.The rest
Shortly after, Mr. Caldwell left.Heather asked, "Can we go back now?""Are you angry?" Tyrone frowned and gently pinched Heather's cheek. "You don't need to care about what he said. I've told you, nothing will happen."It seemed like Tyrone was assuring her that her position as his lover was secure.Should she be happy about it?Heather wasn't actually angry. She just didn't want more people seeing them together, especially now that Janine had returned to the country. If rumors reached her, it wouldn't be a good thing."I'm not angry. I just want to go back. Shall we?" Heather said."You're really not angry?""I'm not.""Then give me a smile."Feeling helpless, Heather reluctantly curved her lips into a sweet smile."Heather, your smile is so ugly."Heather was speechless.She wanted to hit him!…Back at Magnolia Creek.Heather put down her bag and headed toward the bathroom.Suddenly, she was lifted up. Startled, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Tyrone's ne
The room fell silent."Heather, you know I need to have an heir."Tyrone stared at her for a moment, frowning as he spoke.Although he and Janine had a marriage for business purposes, they were still husband and wife. It was normal for their families to urge them to have children.A complex emotion flashed in Heather's eyes as she gazed at him seriously. "Then let's break up."Tyrone seemed displeased. "Are you finding reasons to break up with me again?"Heather shook her head. "It's not about that. Although you and Ms. Seel married for business purposes, the child is innocent. How will you explain to the child in the future that you have another woman? That would be too hurtful for the child, and I cannot do that."Having grown up in a broken family, she knew firsthand the psychological impact it could have on a child.Tyrone narrowed his eyes, looking at her abdomen. "If you won't let me have a child with her, then you can have one with me."He and Janine having a child was
Tyrone suddenly asked, "Caleb, do women generally not like to have illegitimate children?"This was a sensitive topic.Caleb paused, then cautiously asked, "Is it... related to you and your mother...?""No," Tyrone interrupted him. "It's Heather. She doesn't want to have children.""Do you want Ms. Sutton to have a child?"Caleb was shocked and almost bit his tongue. "Mr. Elkin, you are already married to Ms. Seel. If you have a child with Ms. Sutton, it would be extremely troublesome!"Tyrone spoiling Heather was one thing. But asking her to have his child was another!Was he under Ms. Sutton's spell?"I am capable of protecting both her and the child," Tyrone retorted.Whoever dared to harm her and the child was provoking him!Sensing his seriousness, Caleb's tone became more serious. "Mr. Elkin, the Elkin family is complicated enough. If people found out that you have a child with Ms. Sutton, it will put her and the child in a dangerous situation. Even if you can protect t
Meanwhile, Janine looked at her phone with a frown as she had just been hung up."See, Janine? Do you believe Tyrone is doting on that woman a lot now? All he cares about is her. That's why he didn't want to have a baby with you. If she has a child, your status as Tyrone's wife will be at stake."Jasmine did everything she could to provoke Janine into action.In reality, the Elkin family had never urged them to have a child soon. Janine said that intentionally to test Tyrone.She would never find someone else to have a baby with. Otherwise, if anything were to happen to the relationship between the Elkin and Seel households, that hypothetical child of hers would be her death knell.What surprised her more was Tyrone's attitude. In the past, Tyrone would always cooperate when it came to their marriage. However, he refused to have a baby with her because of Heather.A glint of light appeared in Janine's eyes as she removed her facial mask, revealing the stony expression underneath.
Dr. John then continued asking Heather, "Alright. How old are you?""I'm…""21 years old."Before Heather could even finish, Tyrone's voice rang next to her.She smiled. "Right. I'm 21 years old. Please, continue."Dr. John continued, "What kinds of interests do you have, Ms. Sutton?""She likes writing scripts and looking at ancient architecture.""What do you like, Ms. Sutton?""She isn't picky and likes donuts the most."No matter what the doctor asked, Tyrone would reply on Heather's behalf before she could even answer.Heather felt a little helpless as she said, "He got everything right."Dr. John then said in a hesitant tone, "Mr. Elkin, the reason I'm chatting with Ms. Sutton is so we can build some rapport. You shouldn't have answered on her behalf."In other words, he was trying to treat her. Tyrone didn't have to show the love he had for her.Tyrone immediately frowned and said in an upsetting tone, "Why must you build rapport with her for her treatment?"Tyrone
Heather turned and looked outside the consultation room.Tyrone was leaning against the wall in the corridor. His head hung low as he frowned and smoked a cigarette. A thin layer of smoke seemed to be covering his handsome face, adding a sense of mysteriousness to his prideful imposition.The sunlight shone right on his tall figure, a soft glow covering him.Tyrone suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Heather, as if he could sense her looking at him.Their eyes met each other.Tyrone averted his gaze and Heather's heart trembled, and she instinctively moved her eyes away too.She asked Dr. Jones, "I'm here to receive treatment for my trauma, not for you to analyze my inner thoughts. Let's begin, then."Dr. John wasn't angry at all and he simply smiled. "Sure, let's begin our treatment. Ms. Sutton, you don't try to remember your mother much, do you?"Heather was stunned before she nodded gently. "Yes.""You lost your mother when you were very little and that had hurt you deep
Tyrone said nothing else and left, leaving behind a whiff of cold air behind him.Once Tyrone was gone from Dr. John's sight, Dr. John wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.He would only be full of smiles when he was speaking with Heather. That was so scary.…Once Heather walked out of the building, she walked over to the car, stopping by the roadside."Hattie!"A young woman's voice suddenly sounded.Whitney was standing not that far away, wearing a dress and a white coat. Her black hair was resting on her shoulders and her lips were scarlet red from her lipstick, hiding the paleness underneath. However, it made her already pale face look even paler."I thought I had mistaken someone else for you. I didn't expect that it really was you."Whitney walked over happily.Heather looked at her purse, which was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and asked, "Why are you here?""I'm going to the hospital and I'm waiting for a cab.""How are you doing?""
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo
Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca
"But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse. The
Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
