"Jeremy, you're thinking this the wrong way to. You should make it clear to Joanne if you don't like her. Of course your ambiguity is going to make her think that you still have her in your heart" "I'm so wronged. I have made it clear to her, but she just won't believe it. You know the Black family has always hoped to form an alliance with the White family through marriage. I'm the unlucky one here. You're close to Joanne. Please try to talk to her and tell her that I don't deserve her heart" While Nathan was speaking, hid phone rang. A woman's voice came through the phone in a hurry. "Brother, bad news!" Jeremy frowned and stood up instinctively when he heard the woman's voice. Nathan looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. Joanne was not a monster. How could Jeremy be so afraid? "Joanne, what happened?" "Grandma fainted!" "She fainted?" Nathan was startled. "Why did she faint for no reason?" "I don't know either. I just got a call from aunt and I'm on my way to the hospital
Just as the nurse prepared the IV bag for Emily, Steven and Deborah rushed over. When smelling the booze on Emily, Steven took a ghastly expression. "How did you educate our daughter?" She turned back and questioned Deborah angrily, "Why didn't you stop her from going out with those doggy friends?" Steven was furious. Dexter was not very enthusiastic about Emily already. Now, her ludicrous conduct had truly humiliated herself and Steven. Deborah did not dare to speak. She was also disappointed by Emily and thought, "What are you doing at this time? This is only going to make Dexter look down on you" Dexter didn't know what they were thinking. He didn't need to stay longer now that the mission was completed. So he excused himself. Steven became angrier after Dexter left. He scolded Deborah and said she didn't teach their daughter well. Barbara had had a gard life these past years, but she never did anything out of the line. After that, he left in a huff. Deborah and Emily were th
Barbara took Eden home after they sent off Nathan. Eden asked Barbara on their way back, "Mom, my real dad is dead, not lost, right?" Barbara was stunned. "Who said that?" "Granduncle. He said my dad died a long time ago, and you are finding a step dad for me, not my real one. Is that true, Mom?" Barbara's heart ached. She knew that her uncle told Eden this because he hated Dexter. She had no idea how to answer. Eden would keep asking her if she said his dad was still alive. She sighed. "Yes...he's dead" A sad look came over Eden's face. "Mom, I don't want a dad anymore. I just want you and granduncle, and Uncle Nathan" "Good boy!" Barbara hugged his soft little body tightly. "Mom, what did dad look like?" Was he handsome?" Eden asked again. "He was!" Barbara replied. "As handsome as uncle Nathan!" "I knew that my dad must be very handsome!" Eden slid into her arms with a smile on his face. "Mom, can I make a request?" "What request?" "I want Nathan to be my dad!" Barbara
Barbara out Eden on the seat and ordered a six inch pizza for him. Then she got two cups of juice and a plate of snacks. Eden happily buried his head in the food. Barbara smiled and watched him wolfing down the food. "Slow down, take a sip of the juice. Be careful not to choke!" "Mom, eat this!" Eden took a bite of the pizza. Seeing that Barbara didn't eat, he handed his slice to her. "I'm not eating. I just want to watch you eat!" "I want you to say with me!" Eden insisted. Barbara had no choice but to take a small bite. Eden took another bite, his little face full of smiles. "Is it delicious?" "Delicious!" Dexter walked in and went straight to a seat next to Barbara and Eden. He sat down and ordered a random ten inch pizza and a plate of snacks. He was not in the mood to eat. Instead, he had been playing full attention to Barbara and Eden abd heard their conversation clearly. He was shocked when he heard Eden calling Barbara mom. He glanced at John and realized that John was
Dexter never even expected that she would stay in San Francisco and bore a child for a peasant. If he hadn't forced her back then, maybe she would not resort to that too?She couldn't get pregnant for three years with him but she got a baby so quickly after leaving him. It was a huge slap to Dexter's face. Dexter knew that one of the reason for infertility was stress and it was probably because of Raina.Dexter really regretted not moving out with Barbara earlier.

What a disgusting man. How despicable he could be to be able to lie to her in the face like that? Even after being found out, Dexter was so heartless and cruel. She could never forgive Dexter. She would never let Dexter know that he had a son! That was his retribution for cheating on her! It was probably because of the climate Eden had been sick more frequently lately. He was also coming down with fever. Barbara brought him to the hospital and he was admitted for two days before that fever came under control. In the elevator, she ran into Emily a d Freya. Emily came to the hospital because she woke up with a sore throat thus morning. Hence, she asked Freya to accompany her to the hospital. They didn't expect to meet Barbara there. Both of them were extremely surprised. They looked on in disbelief at the child Barbara was carrying in her arms . Barbara was infertile. Why was there a child in her arms? Who did that kid belong to? It couldn't be hers! Both of them looked at each oth
