Jessica wasn't afraid of her cunning or the power behind her. And she could casually spout a series of infuriating words. Crystal was used to being in control her whole life and couldn't bear this kind of frustration. "Miss Crystal!" Just when she was about to explode with anger, Jessica said calmly, "Instead of talking to me here, why don't you confront Marcus about this? After all, he is the key to this matter, isn't he?" The root of this matter was Marcus himself, and Crystal was too confused about the situation! "I will find Marcus. Don't be arrogant. Even if you give birth to his son, you still won't be able to enter the Smith family." Crystal calmed her anger, saying arrogantly. With the support of her father and Marcus's father, she would not lose. Marcus must know that Old Mr. Alston has already talked to her father about their marriage, he did not deny it, didn't he implicitly acknowledge this marriage? She won't lose! "Who cares!" Jessica sneered coldly. Mr. Marcus has a
When things go wrong, even drinking water can choke you. Jessica felt that she was now extremely unlucky! Crystal was taken away by the doctor for examination, while Mr. Marcus stood coldly, his eyes chillingly fixed on her, not saying a word. Jessica lifted her gaze and saw his deep and icy eyes. The ward itself was already all white, and she thought it was creepy enough, but she didn't expect Mr. Marcus to be emitting such a cold aura here. She felt a chilly autumn wind blowing, a hundred miles of killing intent, truly... a desolate scene! During the summer in W City, it was very hot, making it unbearable. Jessica thought that the woman who could marry Mr. Marcus must be very happy in the summer. Look, they wouldn't even need an air conditioner, just stand within a meter of him. Saving energy, money, and trouble. Okay, she admitted that she had provoked his sweetheart to the point of fainting. She was guilty, having a sharp tongue sometimes wasn't a good thing. But Mr. Marcus, i
"You really have a talent for pissing people off!" Mr. Marcus sarcastically remarked. Jessica accepted the praise sheepishly, "Thank you for the compliment!" Mr. Marcus's eye twitched. This woman, really... "Mr. Marcus, I think we should, um, have a good... communication about something. If you want your son, to at least sort out your history of love affairs, settle your playboy debts once and for all. If you can't, then be straightforward and give someone an answer. Whether you don't want her anymore or want to marry her, make it clear. Don't let her hang on and cause trouble for me and my son. I don't care, but I don't want anyone approaching my son. If you want to ruin the image you have in your son's eyes, that's fine, but I don't want my son facing the consequences of your playboy debts." Mr. Marcus regretted for the nth time why he chose her as his secretary in the first place. But then again, if she wasn't his secretary, he wouldn't have his adorable son. He suddenly rememb
Crystal was pregnant! It was big news, and within just two hours, almost everyone from the Smith and Walker families knew about it! The Walker family was overjoyed. Old Mr. Walker and his wife, and Crystal's two aunts rushed to the hospital. The entire hospital room was filled with excitement and happiness. Coincidentally, the two families were discussing the marriage of Marcus and Crystal, so her pregnancy added to the joy. Old Mr. Walker called Old Mr. Alston, who came to see Dennis with Monica and Leonard. Upon hearing the news, Old Mr. Alston felt a mix of emotions. Monica's face turned red with anger, and she unconsciously gripped Leonard's hand tightly until he cried out in pain. Only then did Monica realize what she was doing. Old Mr. Alston was extremely against Crystal's pregnancy, as it meant that Marcus would have another child. However, he was also happy because this would make their wedding preparations smoother. Initially, he was worried that Mr. Marcus would resist
Henry didn't utter a word from the school to the hospital. He kept looking out the window, rubbing his small backpack in his hand, making a creaking sound all the way. Every move he made tugged at Marcus's heart, causing him intense pain. "Daddy!" Henry turned his head to look at Marcus. There was no trace of a smile on his face; he was deadly serious. "Are you going to marry her?" Marcus shook his head without hesitation. Once he made a decision, he rarely went back on it. Since he had decided not to marry Crystal, he wouldn't, even if she was pregnant. It wouldn't change his decision. "No!" Mr. Marcus answered firmly. He looked at his son and said, "Daddy won't marry her!" Henry's lips curled up slightly. Throughout the journey, he didn't even know why he was so upset. He was just unwilling and angry. He liked having a younger sibling. When he saw the younger kids at school, all cute and pink, Henry also wanted a younger brother or sister. But there was a condition. It had to be
Jessica held her forehead, "I think I need to isolate you from Mr. Marcus. I don't remember teaching you such violent behavior!""Mommy, I'm sorry!" Henry pleaded.Jessica gave him a cold look while Henry smiled."Mummy, tomorrow is the weekend. How about going on a vacation?" Henry suggested."A vacation?" Jessica questioned."Yes, Daddy's idea, let's go together!" Henry replied.Jessica pursed her lips, taking them on a vacation at this time? She pondered for a moment and glanced at Henry. "Is it really a vacation?""Then what else could it be?" Henry asked."Alright!"It was a sunny and beautiful Saturday, with gentle winds coming from the west. A rare good weather day.Coincidentally, it was the day Jessica was discharged from the hospital. Her wounds had almost healed and she only needed periodic rehabilitation visits in the future.Finally, she could leave this suffocating hospital. Jessica's mood was great, and even Mr. Marcus looked better in her eyes!After completing the dis

Seaside Villa!Night fell, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, dotted with stars, adding a touch of tranquility to the night.Jessica sat on a lounge chair outside, enjoying the sea breeze, her face adorned with a gentle smile. Her beautiful face appeared even more tender under the moonlight, her long hair swayed and danced in the wind, exuding elegance.The sound of father and son playing and teasing each other in the kitchen reached her ears, occasionally accompanied by Mr. Marcus's discontented resistance and the little boy's angry screams. The adorable little boy waved his little fist and scolded Mr. Marcus, demanding his mommy to come and settle the matter.The little boy said that he wanted to train Mr. Marcus to become a modern-day good man, and the most basic requirement was being able to cook. This frightened Mr. Marcus.When they lived together, Henry often bullied Mr. Marcus. The inexperienced Mr. Marcus, who had never touched a kitchen before, learned how to cook with
