At that moment, the room’s door was kicked open with a loud bang from outside!A tall figure rushed in while shouting, “Don’t bully my wife!” He punched the front desk receptionist in the face. The receptionist fell to the ground, and Sonnet took the opportunity to run out and grab Maxwell’s hand before fleeing.The other three men chased after them.The two of them quickly ran down the stairs but found that the door to the internet cafe was locked.Maxwell took two steps back, put his head in his hands, and slammed hard against the glass door.Crash!The glass shattered all over the floor. He used his long arms to shield Sonnet’s body and pushed her out of the door.As Sonnet was about to pull him out, Maxwell suddenly froze.“What’s wrong?” Sonnet asked, turning her head to look.Through the glass door, she saw that a tattooed man had stabbed a butterfly knife into Maxwell’s calf!“Maxwell!” Sonnet cried out.Maxwell pushed her hard and said, “Run, Wifey! Run and call th
Sonnet did not mind that Maxwell acted like a child. On the contrary, his childlike nature made him get along well with her own children.She also did not mind that having him around would invite ridicule from others. Over the past few years, she had endured too much ridicule and contempt. Those years were now behind her, and she would not take this slight to heart.Love was like water. One knew best whether they liked warmth or coldness.What she wanted was this pure cup of water!“Maxwell, um, can I take you to meet someone later?”Maxwell had been grinning foolishly, but his smile froze when he heard this.His heart began to race wildly.Maxwell had an inkling who she was going to take him to meet.A joy that rose from deep within filled his heart as if all the buds in his heart had bloomed in an instant.His wife was going to take him to meet his father-in-law! What did this mean? It meant that even if he was a fool, she had accepted him!Was this not what he wanted?R
Hayden shrugged. “Looks like I’m not the person you were hoping to see!”Maxwell frowned. “Why are you here?”“Don’t worry, I checked the surveillance before coming here. She’s still in her father’s hospital ward and won’t be coming down anytime soon,” Hayden said, seeing through his thoughts with a smile.“What’s up?”“I wanted to talk to you about the bone marrow matching. So far, we haven’t found a match, and this is the bill.” Hayden handed Maxwell a piece of paper. “It’s been quite costly. Do you want to continue?”Maxwell just glanced at the bill and said, “Continue it.”Hayden hesitated.“Spit it out!” Maxwell frowned and spoke to Hayden harshly.“I’ll say it again, the best way is still to find the child’s biological father or relatives. If that doesn’t work, then we can try something else. The chances of bone marrow matching between strangers are small. You can’t delay the child’s treatment just because you don’t want to find that man,” Hayden said.Maxwell did not re
The police asked, “Why did you go to that underground casino?”“I was looking for someone named Quad Lawson.”“What’s your relationship with him?” the police asked again.Sonnet looked at Maxwell and said, “I know his parents. They said they lost touch with Quad, so I helped them look for him…”Maxwell had a silly smile on his face, but there was a glint in his eyes. Who was Quad Lawson?Sonnet stayed with Maxwell and her father in the hospital all night, going up and down.The next morning, the doctor saw that Maxwell’s wounds were in good condition, so he was discharged from the hospital.Sonnet took Maxwell home and rushed to the mansion to take care of Shay.In the afternoon, after kindergarten was over, Jaybie brought Lune to the Brooks household to visit Maxwell.“I heard you were very brave yesterday and saved Miss Turner. You’re amazing!” Jaybie gave Maxwell a thumbs up.Maxwell chuckled. “Of course, a man has to protect his wife!”“Uncle, you’re such a good husband!
Sonnet learned about Quad’s situation from Old Lady Lawson.Just before she got off work, Old Lady Lawson called her and said, “The police called my son and daughter-in-law. That little brat stole things from the supermarket and was taken to the police station. He had no choice but to call his parents to rescue him.”“Which police station is he in?” Sonnet asked hastily.“The police station on Helio Road,” Old Lady Lawson replied.Sonnet hung up the phone and hurried to the police station on Helio Road. When she arrived, she saw Quad coming out, led by Sole and his wife.Sonnet’s heart started beating faster at the sight of Quad.It was because he looked so much like Tre, whom she had seen in a photo. They were identical twins, and if Tre was the biological father of the children, the chances of a successful match with his twin brother would be much higher...She approached Quad and called out to him, “Quad!”Quad looked up at her and seemed confused, asking, “Who are you?”So
Quad Lawson again!Previously, Sonnet had gone to great lengths to find Quad, even venturing into an underground casino. This showed that Quad’s identity was not simple.After some thought, he dialed a phone number. “Nick, help me look into Quad Lawson…”Meanwhile, Sonnet also received the matching results from Westfield Hospital’s laboratory.The results showed a complete mismatch!Seeing this result, she was a bit disappointed.Jaybie would have to wait again!However, did Quad and the child not match solely because they did not have the same blood type or because they had no blood relationship at all?It seemed that this matter needed to be clarified. If he had a blood relationship with the child, there was still hope.The members of the Lawson family could also do the matching test. Perhaps there might be a chance of a match.The next day, Sonnet went to the hospital where Old Lady Lawson was staying again.Sole, his wife, and Quad were all in the ward accompanying Old L
“Quad Lawson, 25 years old. His father is named Sole Lawson, and his mother is Dilys Watson. He also has a twin brother named Tre Lawson who died four years ago in a fight.“Quad used to work at an electronics factory but was fired because he owed usury from gambling. Now he’s unemployed and has a debt worth 50 grand.“He was born and raised in Harbor City and lived with his parents in North City for a few months before going to work at the electronics factory in Harbor City. He has never been to United County.”Maxwell looked at the words on his computer and stroked his chin.This gambler seemed to have zero connection with Sonnet. He probably was not the biological father of the children, right?He frowned as he looked at the face on the e-mail. This disgusting man. Just thinking of the possibility that he had touched his woman before, Maxwell wanted to tear him apart!“You’re back… Young Miss…” Mrs. Wilson’s voice echoed from downstairs.Maxwell was startled and quickly tur
Maxwell went to the closet, and Sonnet quietly opened her eyes. She saw him wrapped in a white towel and opening the drawer to find his underwear.Thinking Sonnet was asleep, he found his underwear and directly put it on after removing the towel.Sonnet’s eyes widened, and then her face turned purple with embarrassment. She quickly closed her eyes again.After a while, she felt Maxwell come to the side of the bed. Her heart was still racing. She dared not move, afraid he would notice she was pretending to sleep, which would be even more embarrassing.He pulled the covers off her, and then put on a new blanket. Then, the bed sank down on his side, indicating he had gotten on the bed. Sonnet could feel her head being lifted gently and placed back on his arm.She did not want him to feel uncomfortable and pretended to turn over.However, he stubbornly moved closer and positioned her head on his arm as a pillow.Sonnet was considering whether to pretend to wake up or not when sudd
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
