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?""
"Don't meet with that woman anymore."Tyrone's chin was right on Heather's shoulder as he sniffed the sweet scent from her body when they were in the car.Heather felt slightly itchy when his breath touched the skin on her neck as he talked. She shrank back. "You don't seem to like Whitney."Heather's eyes were so beautiful.Tyrone pinched her cheek and said, "I don't like scheming women.""Why are you calling her scheming?""She knew our relationship and called me Mr. Elkin when she met me for the first time. She knew how to please me to get something good from me. She was a smart woman."There was nowhere Whitney could hide her schemes from Tyrone.Heather tried to think back on the few times she met Whitney and nodded. "She's very good at socializing."Tyrone pinched her face. "She knew who to curry favor with to get her the benefits she wanted. Compared to her, you're a little fool."There was no need to call her a fool during this conversation.Heather rolled her eyes a
Seth apologized to Heather with a grin.Heather shook her head with a smile. "Don't worry about it."Tyrone and Seth had official business to discuss. After Seth gave the orange to Ivy, the two of them then went to the study.Ivy pulled Heather to a bench in the garden and started to chat with her."Seth is treating you quite well," Heather remarked. She was quite surprised that Seth was willing to apologize to Ivy despite being the scion of a wealthy family.Ivy nodded with a smile. "He treats me well enough, but let's not talk about me. How did that happen to you? Did Jay do it?"Heather shook her head and then explained everything. Ivy could only look at her in disbelief when she heard the whole story. "It was Craig's wife? He's causing so much trouble. He betrayed you and his wife didn't want to spare you? It's great she's in jail now.""Not so loud," Heather quickly looked behind her."What?" Ivy asked. She was somewhat dumbfounded by her reaction. "Don't tell me you sti
