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
“I have a daughter and a son. They’re twins. They’re your children.” After speaking, Sonnet looked at Mason Stewart, who was sitting opposite her. Mason smiled and said, “Sonnet, what kind of joke is this? I haven’t met you since we broke up five years ago.” “The children are four years old now. I got pregnant with them after that night,” Sonnet said. Mason’s smile gradually disappeared. Sonnet leaned forward and spoke in a slightly frantic tone, “I know that you’re married. I didn’t come here to tell you this because I want to ruin your family. I just want you to help me with something!” “What do you need my help with?” “Can you do a bone marrow match test with my son? He has leukemia!” Mason remained silent. He raised his head and finished the water in his glass. He then spoke up in a deep voice, “My bone marrow won’t match that of your son!” “The match rate will be higher than that of someone who isn’t biologically related to him…” Mason interrupted
Sonnet sat down by the bed. It was her wedding night tonight. There would not be a wedding ceremony. No one congratulated her either. The atmosphere was still and silent. She waited for her dumb husband to appear silently. Suddenly, the door got pushed open. She raised her head and looked over instinctively.The chauffeur, Mr. Harrison, who had fetched her over just now, rushed towards her in a drunken state. “Second Young Miss, you’re so pretty. It’s such a pity that you married a fool! Let me show you some love. You’ll definitely be satisfied.” He wrapped his arms around Sonnet and lowered his head to kiss her on her lips. Sonnet pushed him off her with all her might and slapped him across his face. “Don’t come over! I’ll call for help if you come over again!” “Call for help?” Mr. Harrison was fearless in his drunken state. “Let me tell you this. It’s useless even if you call for help! You’ll have to let me do as I wish tonight!” He pounced over once again. He
“She’s a maid that works here! She cooks for Young Master and does the daily chores,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Why would she lock you up?” Sonnet asked. “She told me that something good will be happening to Young Miss tonight. She wouldn’t let me cause any trouble.” Sonnet frowned. It sounded like Yannis knew what would happen to her…She should have been working together with Mr. Harrison! “Come on, let’s look for her,” she told Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson brought both of them to Yannis’ room. The strong stench of alcohol filled their noses the moment they pushed the door of her room open. The alcohol smelled the same as the scent of alcohol on Mr. Harrison’s body. Sonnet became even more certain about her previous guess. She looked inside the room. There was a drunk woman lying on the bed. She walked over, picked up the glass of water on the bedside table, and splashed the water on Yannis’ face. Yannis sat up in a state of shock. She wiped the water from her face and loo
Sonnet felt pain all over her back as she got pushed against the cold wall. She raised her head and caught sight of Mason’s dark and angered gaze. “Sonnet Turner, tell me why you have the money to send your father to the hospital that I’m working at for treatment? You hooked up with a wealthy man, right?!” Mason said through gritted teeth. Sonnet laughed sarcastically and said, “Even if I hooked up with a wealthy man, does that have anything to do with you?” He had broken up with her five years ago. Although she had assumed that she was pregnant with his child back then, she had not asked him to stay. They were strangers from that moment onwards. If it were not for her son, she would not even have met up with him again before this. “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!” Mason shouted angrily. “What kind of person am I?” “You’re willing to sell yourself just for money!” Sonnet laughed and asked, “Aren’t you that type of person as well?” She had heard a
Sonnet unclenched her fists after walking into the distance. She knew Jessie’s personality pretty well. She feared people that were more powerful than her, but enjoyed bullying those below her. She was vain and prideful as well. Jessie would not dare to do anything for now since she had threatened to expose how she had helped her get into medical school. However, she could not put her guard down. She still had to protect her children and father. She could not let anyone hurt them. She bought some fruits back and saw that her father was in stable condition. She then gave the care worker some reminders before leaving the hospital. She did not return to the Brooks household. Instead, she went to the house that belonged to her best friend, Lindy Jackson. The door opened after she knocked on it. Before she could say anything, a small figure pounced over and hugged her legs. Sonnet lowered her head and stared into a pair of large, dark and bright eyes. Her heart softened
Sonnet got distracted for a moment. As soon as she raised her gaze again, Maxwell’s handsome face appeared right before her eyes.Sonnet leaned back instinctively. However, a large hand supported her waist. After that, her legs got lifted off the ground as Maxwell carried her bridal style. “Hey…What are you doing?” Sonnet shouted out. “Mrs. Wilson told me to carry you like this before we sleep,” Maxwell said in an innocent tone. Sonnet immediately tried calming her frantic heart down. He was just like a child that was listening to an adult’s instructions. He would not understand what Mrs. Wilson really meant! While Sonnet was pondering upon this, Maxwell had already placed her lightly on the bed. “Alright, you can sleep now…” Sonnet’s words were interrupted by Maxwell’s subsequent actions. He leaned down and caged her between his arms. She tilted her head to the side and was just about to push him off her when she felt a slight damp sensation on her face. Maxwell’s
After returning to the ward, Sonnet first explained everything that had happened to her father. Myles smiled and said, “I believe that you aren’t that type of person.” His heart hurt when he saw the slap marks on her face. “Put some ointment on your face. Otherwise, it’ll swell up even more.” Sonnet’s heart warmed up as she held her father’s hand tightly.The police did not come. Sonnet did not make a police report just now. She was simply trying to scare off the plump woman. She also wanted to see how she would react. She went to the doctor’s office to look for Mason. “I’d like to change my father’s general physician.” Mason’s expression darkened as he questioned, “What do you mean by that? Do you think that I’m not skilled enough?” “Do you think that I can trust you given our relationship?” Sonnet asked him in a straightforward manner.“I won’t let you do this!” “I’ll head to the medical office if you won’t let me do it. I’ll have no choice but to tell them everythi

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.

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
