Imaginations are often beautiful, but when it comes to real-life actions, things rarely go smoothly.
Alessia left the ward with the children, closely followed by Gordon.
Before he could talk to Alessia, he was intercepted by Dominic.
Dominic wore a black haute couture suit, his expressionless face looking particularly serious. His voice coldly met Gordon's gaze. "Mr. Laroux, as you can see, the mother of my child has no time. There is still another child at home waiting to be taken care of. If you have any business, you can talk to me directly."
Dominic openly defended Alessia, leaving Gordon slightly taken aback.
Similarly, Alessia, who had not yet walked far, heard Dominic's words.
She pursed her lips, thinking why did he have to use the term 'mother of my child' so affectionately? Yesterday, when he was entangled with another woman in the rain, he didn't r
As soon as Grandma Carter left, Alessia and Dominic were the only ones left in the spacious living room.Alessia swallowed hard, feeling uncomfortable and aware that her heart was beating faster than normal. As a doctor, she knew this wasn't right. However, she also knew she couldn't show any shyness in front of Dominic.The more she showed any sign of embarrassment, the more Dominic would misunderstand, thinking she cared about him.With a cold expression, Alessia tried to pull her hand away from his, but just as she managed to free it a little, Dominic firmly pressed it back down."Mr. Carter, wouldn't this be considered harassment?" Alessia kept her tone as calm as possible, raising an eyebrow and looking pointedly at Dominic's hand.Dominic laughed, a rare, pleasant sound like a bubbling spring. It was
Alessia gazed fondly at her bright and affectionate children, feeling a warmth spread through her heart.She gently tousled her son and daughter's hair, asking, "Do you really want mommy to help Grandma Evelyn get better just because you like her?""Yeah," Christian nodded eagerly, "Mom, you know, when I first saw Grandma Evelyn, I just felt this connection. She's like a real grandma to me, and I want to be close to her."Eleanor nodded along, sharing her own sentiments about Evelyn."Mom, when I walked into her room and saw her lying there so pale, my heart just sank," Eleanor said, her voice tinged with sadness.As Eleanor spoke, Alessia noticed how they were both observing her closely.The more they looked, the more they seemed to notice. "Mom, it's true," Christian exclaimed. "I never realized it before, but your nose and lips really resemble Grandma Evelyn's. No wonder I feel so comf
Alessia and Dominic had only just arrived at the main house and sat down for barely two minutes when Brenda hurried in with Tiffany.Brenda's face was cold and devoid of expression, but the pressure emanating from her was palpable, indicating that something was wrong. And as soon as she entered the room, her gaze landed on Alessia, clearly targeting her.Alessia glanced at Tiffany behind Brenda, and Tiffany happened to be looking at her too. Their eyes met in mid-air, and Alessia saw Tiffany maliciously bite her lip. When she looked again, Tiffany had resumed her normal demeanor, appearing calm and gentle.Alessia unconsciously frowned, noticing that Dominic had also sensed Brenda's abnormal behavior. He stood up and instinctively shielded Alessia behind him."Mom!"As soon as Dominic called out, Brenda turned her gaze to him, questioning, "Dominic, do you know that Bianca is pre
Bianca noticed the people in the room, their eyes all falling on her and Riley. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and, in the process, let go of Riley's hand on her belly.Blushing, she said with a hint of annoyance, "I twisted my foot, not my stomach. How could my stomach hurt?"Riley paused, ignoring the gaze of everyone in the room. He squatted halfway down, gently placing Bianca's foot on his lap and, with a mix of gentleness and dominance, removed her high heels.Seeing the swelling around Bianca's ankle, he frowned with concern, criticizing as he massaged her foot, "You can't even walk properly, yet you insist on wearing high heels. And now you're pregnant. If you fall, you'll suffer."Having her foot massaged in front of her family, being scolded like a child, Bianca's face flushed to the point of boiling shrimps.Embarrassedly, she tried to pull her foot back, saying, "Alri
At the dining table, Tiffany found a good spot and sat down closely with Dominic.She seemed to have lost her memory, constantly picking dishes for Dominic.Soon, the empty plate in front of Dominic was filled.However, Dominic didn't touch any of the dishes in the plate at all, and Tiffany didn't feel any awkwardness even though he didn't touch them.After serving Dominic, she also didn't forget to take care of Brenda and even Bianca.She acted like a hostess, taking care of everything.Even though she despised Alessia from the bottom of her heart, she still managed to persuade her to eat more.Because of Tiffany's attentiveness, the atmosphere at the dinner table felt somewhat oppressive.However, no one stopped Tiffany from showing off, not even the mischievous Christian, who simply ate his own meal obediently.
In the evening, returning to the Forest HillDominic stood in the room, looking at the bright lights, pondering for a moment, then returned to the computer and used hacker software to send a message to Cobra.[Cobra, did anything worth sharing happen today?][There is, but... why should I share it with you.]Cobra replied quickly from the other end, obviously also using a computer.Dominic smiled and quickly replied to the message:[Because I'm not happy, I need your good mood to cheer me up.][Why are you unhappy? Actually, I don't have much, it's just that my brother is getting married, and I'm happy for them.]Dominic read the words on the computer screen, feeling almost ecstatic. But with his calm demeanor, his happiness was just a slight upturn of his mouth.
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
