He slept very comfortably. When Sonnet woke, it was already evening. The setting sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, and a warm orange glow shone on Maxwell's face, making him look extremely good.Sonnet blinked and stared at him without blinking.Her silly husband was really good-looking. Look at his straight nose bridge and deep outline!As she looked, she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers to trace his facial features.'Well, here's the eyebrow, here's the eye, here's the bridge of the nose, here's the nose, here's the lips—'His lips were a little rosier than on other mornings, making one's imagination run wild.Sonnet thought of how Maxwell kissed her in the past, and her heart rippled.Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her hand, and a powerful force pressed her down.Sonnet was startled. When she came back to her senses, Maxwell flipped over and pressed her under him. She looked up at the person in front of her with moist eyes.This teased Maxwell fiercely. H
Her lips parted as soon as they touched. She tried her best to break free from Maxwell’s arms. "Go out and wait first. It’s almost done. If you touch me, it will affect my cooking."Maxwell chuckled and went out obediently.Less than five minutes later, Sonnet came out with two bowls of tomato and egg noodles and sat opposite Maxwell."Hurry up and eat. We'll talk after you're done. I have a lot to tell you!" She pushed the bowl in front of him."Okay, let's eat!" Maxwell shouted childishly. He lowered his head and began to slurp the noodles.Seeing him eat the fragrant noodles, Sonnet could not help but smile. She lowered her head and started eating as well.They ate their noodles quietly. Even if they did not say anything, it was very heartwarming!After eating, Sonnet broke out in a thin sweat, but she felt very comfortable.She watched Maxwell drink the last drop of noodles soup and said, "Let's call it even. The past is the past. Let's not dig up the past and live a good l
"Then why did you continue to pretend even after I knew you were not dead?" she asked again."I… At that time, you were already pregnant, right? I was afraid you would be angry if you knew the truth and affect Lil Three, so I didn't dare to…"Maxwell looked at Sonnet anxiously. "Honey, can you forgive me?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "Didn't I say we're even now? Let's live a good life from now on. If I don't forgive you, how can we live a good life?""We can't call it even, but as long as my wife can forgive me, I'm satisfied," Maxwell insisted.Sonnet felt that her husband might be a little silly and couldn't help but slap his head."Let's not talk about lying anymore. Now, tell me about Winston Brooks. What happened last night? Why did you go to Winston?""Because Winston is that ghost?""Are you sure? Is the evidence conclusive?" Sonnet’s expression changed slightly as she asked.Previously, she had only suspected Winston, but she had a feeling that he didn't seem sinister
The reason Maxwell was so good to the children and willing to spend time with them to become a good father was probably because of this regret in his heart.Because he had lacked a mother's love since he was young, he did not want his children to lack a father's love. That was why he tried his best to make up for the years he had missed."I'll do a good job too. I'll surround you with love and make you the happiest father and husband!" she said to Maxwell affectionately.Maxwell’s expression changed. He held her face very preciously and planted a solemn kiss on her lips.Maxwell wanted to wash the dishes but was stopped by Sonnet. Hence, while she washed the dishes, he peeled fruit.After dinner, they sat on the sofa shoulder to shoulder and fed each other, enjoying the moment.When they were home with the children, the two rarely enjoyed such leisure time alone. Now, they did.Sonnet was still curious about the car accident. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of bringing up
"Yeah, we've been friends for years.""Friends for many years? That Paragon Education Group is your…""Actually, I'm the biggest boss of Paragon. Paragon Education Group was founded by me single-handedly. Zachary has been following me since I started my business and has reached his current position."Maxwell interrupted Sonnet with a smile. He was very satisfied to see his dear wife's mouth open in an "O" shape.After a long while, Sonnet finally closed her mouth. "It turns out that my husband is my boss!"She exaggeratedly bowed to Maxwell. "Hello, Mr. Brooks!"The two laughed. Walter, who was driving up front, couldn't hide his laughter.The boss finally didn't have to act in front of Madam anymore. His subordinate also felt much more relaxed."Although I'm your boss, I still have to listen to a small employee like you." Maxwell held Sonnet's hand and smiled.Sonnet waved her hand in all seriousness. "Listen to me at home, and I'll listen to you at work! We have to distingui
Jaybie went over obediently. Sonnet hugged Lil Three with one hand and rubbed his head with the other. "Jaybie, Mommy has something to discuss with you. Shall we go into the room?"She thought that she should talk to Jaybie first and give him a warning before asking Maxwell to confess his identity.Jaybie saw his mother's grave expression and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his father's matter had been exposed?Thinking about how his father and mother had mysteriously disappeared in the past few days, he felt even more uneasy. His father and mother have reconciled now, but his mother would probably be angry at him for helping his father lie to her. He still had to be honest. It was easier to get forgiveness by admitting his mistake!After making up his mind, Jaybie's look changed when he entered the room and looked at Sonnet.Sonnet was stunned. Her son looked at her with a desperate look. What did he mean?She cleared her throat. "Erm, Jaybie, your father and I weren’
The next day, Maxwell didn't go to work and rested at home. In the afternoon, Matteo Brooks came.He looked dejected. The bright smile that’s usually on his face had disappeared as if he had aged ten years overnight.Sonnet made tea, but he kept holding the teacup in his hand as if it was a little cold."Why are you here today?" Maxwell looked at him."It's about my Dad.""Your father has done so many bad things, and they're all against the law. Even if I want to let him go, he won't be able to escape," Maxwell said coldly.Matteo waved his hand. "Second Brother, my Dad has done so many bad things. How can I have the face to plead for him? I want to tell you about his shares in Brooks Corporation."Maxwell raised his eyebrows. "Shares?""Yeah, my Dad now owns 20% of the shares of Brooks Corporation, and 5% of it was obtained by scheming against Second Uncle, so I thought that I should return this 5% to Second Uncle," Matteo replied."If you return it to him, he won't have any
Matteo looked at Sonnet and said, "Sister-in-law, you were kidnapped by my Dad's men. You're not hurt, right? I don't know what to say. Even my words pale when I apologize."Sonnet shook her head. "I'm fine.""It's good that you're fine. If I had known that my father was investigating your whereabouts, I would have stopped him!"Matteo stood up and bowed deeply to Sonnet.Sonnet hurriedly stopped him. "What your father did has nothing to do with you. You don't have to do this!"Thinking of the blow this brother had suffered over the past few days, Sonnet couldn't bear it and hurriedly comforted him.Matteo smiled bitterly.They chatted for a while before Matteo left.Sonnet sent him to the door. After closing the door, she turned and saw Maxwell frowning."What's wrong?" she asked."What Matteo said made me suddenly think of a problem. Back then, Lindy arranged for you to stay in that remote room. Logan and I couldn’t find any clues. How did Winston find you?""Perhaps he ha
