Chapter 12 - Bad guys are usually good looking

Rosalind was annoyed. That brother from the gutter is really not curious to find out about what she knew. He didn't call her once or send her a text message. She took out her phone and sent him a voice note.

"Hahaha brother. I am going to tell the whole world. I found your secret baby mama and your child. Come to think of it, you have good genes. The boy even looks a lot like you. Ma and Pa will surely like this news, right? Beg me and I will not tell them anything. I even have evidence. If you send me money, I will not send it to Ma and Pa."

And she sent the pictures she took to him. She smiled to herself. "I'm sure he will panic and send me money. Haha!"

She saw a message from Ethan. "Future Hubby - Sorry, Rosa. I'm so busy at the prosecution office here. I will see you soon."

Rosalind sighed. He is always busy. It's not as if he is the only prosecutor around. Can he be so busy that he won't have time to see his girlfriend?

    "Hey everyone, I have something to show you," Rosalind said.Zenith understood what she was trying to do. She wanted to threaten him. She whispered to him, "Brother, how much are you willing to pay for me to keep quiet?"Zenith ignored her and said, "I may be bringing my son home soon."Rosalind was furious. How dare he spoil her plans like this? She decided to take control and explained everything to the family."Let's see the picture," Ma Comfort Baxtar said reassuringly.Rosalind opened her phone and quickly showed the entire family a picture of Chris."I'm certain he is a Baxtar," Pa Zack Baxtar said. "Look at his nose, jawline, and chin. He is undoubtedly a Baxtar. Just bring him home.""Wow! I can't believe I now have a grandson. Just bring him home!" Reina Baxtar exclaimed."Zenith, when are you bringing him home? Why are you so slow? You didn't even take after me," Frank Baxtar complained."Calm down. I still need a DNA test to confirm. The mother will probably refuse to relea

    For two days, Yanis could only watch Dorathy play with her phone. Dorathy wasn't playing hard to get, but she knew they weren't in the same league. She didn't want to have unrealistic expectations."I didn't want to leave, but I have to go back to work. Don't worry, I'll visit you another time. Don't miss me too much, okay?" he told her."Why would I miss you?" she asked."You must have gotten used to my charming face. I'm sure you won't want to see the faces of your other suitors again," he sighed."You've stared at my handsome face so much that your standards have become high," he added.Dorathy scoffed, thinking he was so full of himself."I paid your director a lot. I'm sure he'll give you a lot of money. After all, I'm generous. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm less busy to show my gratitude," he told her."You don't need to show gratitude to me. It's my duty as a nurse," she said.Yanis laughed."Come on, don't be so formal. We'll soon be boyfriend and girlfriend," he told her.

    Zenith was feeling really down. He couldn't believe he hadn't even gotten a chance to participate in a competition before losing. He got home and ignored everyone in the living room, walking straight to his room."What's wrong? I thought the DNA results would be out today," Comfort Baxtar said."Isn't the boy a Baxtar? Something must be wrong," Pa Baxtar said.Reina sighed. "What a pity! I've been longing for a grandson."Frank tried to console them. "It's fine. Let's just arrange blind dates for him.""I know a few nice ladies. If Zenith agrees, I can introduce them to him," Comfort Baxtar suggested.Rosalind was the only one who felt that something wasn't right. None of these people knew that Zenith didn't want a son. All he needed was a woman.Scarlett sent a text to Zander.Scarlett: "Accompany me to eat."Zander: "Okay."Seeing that he replied to her message promptly, she was happy. Does this mean he's thinking the same thing as her? He should just ask her out already. Is that wh

    Zenith couldn't believe she had hung up on him. He didn't dial the number again. Her voice was so soothing, so ethereal. Only if she hadn't gotten together with someone else. He didn't want to look petty, chasing after a woman who was taken. He wouldn't like it if someone else chased after his woman. He sighed. Maybe they weren't really fated.Yanis walked into the house and saw his mother talking to a woman. "I'm home," Yanis said. A young lady was sitting beside the older visitor. "Such a filial son. Most young men these days no longer live with their parents," the older lady said. Madam Quinn smiled. "Come here, Yanis. Meet your aunt. She is my friend, Madam Stanley," she said."Oh! Hello, aunty," Yanis said and prepared to walk to his room. Madam Quinn said, "Wait, I know you're tired, but you should be polite," she said. "This is Aunt Stanley's daughter, Maggie.""Oh! Nice to meet you, Miss Stanley," Yanis said. "What do you think of Maggie? Don't you think she is pretty, gorgeou

    Zenith typed the phone number on his phone, feeling nervous. Would she pick up a strange phone call? If she picked up, what would he tell her? What would be her reaction? What if she already liked someone else? What if she hated him? He decided to set aside these questions and face the situation head-on. No matter the outcome, he was determined to confront it. He dialed the number.The call went through, and a female voice said, "Hello."Zenith felt thrilled when he heard her voice. "Hello, who is this?" Mia asked again.Zenith swallowed and said, "Are you Mia Quinn? I'm your son's father.""What?" Mia couldn't believe her ears.Mia rushed into the cafe, trying to convince herself that it must be a scam call. The shop assistant walked up to her. "Are you Mia?" he asked."Yes, I..." Mia began to respond."Please follow me," he said.Mia followed him to a private room. When she saw the person in the room, her suspicions disappeared. He looked so much like Chris that she didn't need any

    Christopher BaxterChris was very happy that morning. His dad was driving the car, and he was sitting in the front seat. This was the first time a car was taking him to school, except for taxis. Maybe it wasn't so bad to have a dad.Zenith glanced at Mia, who was sitting alone in the backseat, busy browsing through her phone."Why is the school so far from our place? It's even far from my place of work," Mia complained.Zenith had chosen the school because it was the best elementary school in B-city.

    MOVE IN WITH ME~Dorothy changed into her clothes and came out into the lobby. She saw Yanis still waiting for her, even though she had told him to leave. He had bluntly refused and insisted on waiting so they could have dinner together. She sighed and walked over to him."Didn't I ask you to leave?" she asked, frowning at him."A real man should always have it in mind that women don't say what they really mean. Such troublesome creatures, always speaking in parables..." he trailed off, realizing he had said something wrong."Except you," he quickly added.Dora shook her head. "Let's go," she said to him.Dorothy didn't underestimate herself, but she knew that marrying into a rich family would bring troubles for her. However, she liked Yanis, and being with him always gave her a kind of comfort. She entered his car, and he got into the driver's seat."Where are we going?" she asked him."To eat. What do you want to eat? Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Western?" he asked."A Japanese res

    Rosa dropped hints, and she knew Zenith would catch on. "That guy is not a straight guy? Does this mean he is gay?" Zenith asked carefully. Rosa kept quiet, and Zenith took it as a positive answer. Everyone at the table was shocked."What are you saying, Zenith?" Reina just couldn't believe it. "Rosa, what are you implying? This is the man you are about to get married to. Don't say nonsense," she said. To her, Ethan is already a perfect son. She finds it hard to believe that he is into homosexuality. "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.""I saw him with his gay partner. I witnessed that jerk cheating on me with a man!" Rosa almost yelled but controlled herself. She would only yell if she still cared about him. She wouldn't care about him again. She is going to forget about him."If he knows he is into guys, why did he date you? He even proposed to you. How can he... Your marriage is even near..." Frank couldn't think of the possibility that Ethan is usin

She wished she could wake up from this terrible nightmare and find that it is all a dream. Rosa was brought up as an elite, a young lady of the upper class. No matter what happens, she is not to resort to drinking. If not, she would have looked for a bar and drank all her sorrow away.

How can this happen to her?As Rosa got down from the cab and walked into the house, she looked down, but she has not shed any tears. She wondered if she had been so impatient. Could it be a trick?

    "They watched as everybody discussed without involving them. After a while, Mr. Gordon finally said, 'What do you think, Joyce? You're not getting younger. Let's hold the wedding this year? What do you say?' Finally, someone is seeking their opinion."I think there is a misunderstanding here. Jerry and I are not what you think," Joyce told them. "What? This jerk refused to take responsibility?" Jerry's father asked."Responsibility for what?" Joyce wondered. "While the luncheon is on, the both of you sneaked out of the party. Do not be ashamed; it's youthful hormones," Grandpa Lloyd said. "Or are you trying to get pregnant before the wedding? That's a nice idea too," he said."No one's getting married. I don't even know Jerry until today. I have been hearing of the Gordons and that their heir is remarkable, but I don't know him. He had too much to drink, so I offered my bed to him. He only slept while I browsed through my phone.Really, that's what happen

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider in this world of high society."Jerry, this is Mr. Smith, one of our old family friends," his father said, introducing him to an older gentleman dressed in an expensive suit."Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith," Jerry said, offering a handshake."Ah, you must be Jerry Gordon, the young doctor. Your father talks very highly of you," Mr. Smith replied with a smile.Jerry nodded and forced a smile.

Can I come with you?" she asked him."I wish, but the crew will be so busy over the

    "Rosa, let's get married," he told her. Rosa's eyes widened. Is she having an ear problem now? What is it that she just heard? "What?" she asked."I know I've not been really good to you. I know I'm not really worthy of you. After all, you are the princess of the Baxtar clan. But still, I hope you could give me a chance to take responsibility for you all my life," he paused and brought out a small box from his inner pocket."Marry me, Rosalind," he told her as he opened the box. In the box was a diamond ring.The diamond on the ring was big. Rosa couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. She thought he wanted to break up with her. She thought everything was ending today.

She wondered if Yanis had left, but when she saw him sprawled on the sofa, working on his laptop, she knew he was still there."You're awake?" he asked, turning to look at her."Hun, I'm sorry I slept off," she told him.Yanis shook his head.

She searched her tiny closet and finally put on a simple gown."You look so good in a gown," he told her."I know," she replied."Hope you haven't booked any restaurant?" Dora asked him."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in eating in a five or seven-star restaurant. Street food will always be the best.
