Sonnet stayed by Myles’ side in the hospital for several days. She finally had time to return home once Myles’ condition had fully stabilized. The first thing Sonnet did after leaving the hospital was to give Lindy a call. Sonnet had not seen her children in a week. She missed them way too much. “Is Uncle Myles alright now?” Lindy asked on the other end of the call. The background was rather noisy. “Yes, his condition is stable right now. I’d like to visit the children. Where do you live now?” “We’re outside now. I’m playing with them in the playground!” Lindy replied. “You can come over and have dinner with us!” Sonnet met up with them in a shopping mall. The children were overjoyed when they saw Sonnet. Each of them sat on either side of Sonnet while they had their meals. Lindy got extremely jealous after catching sight of this scene. “Am I no longer important now that your mother is here?” “Aunt Lindy, we haven’t seen mom in so many days. Let us stay next to m
When Sonnet arrived home, Maxwell rushed out and embraced her at once. “Wifey, you’re finally back. I missed you so much!”He was tall and sturdy, and had a broad chest as well. Sonnet found herself being wrapped in his arms. She felt rather comfortable there.However, after a while, she pushed him away and said, “I’m sorry for only coming back after a few days.” “It’s alright. It’s alright. Dad is sick. You should stay there to look after him.” Maxwell waved his hands at once. “Is Dad feeling better now?” Sonnet raised her brow. She was stunned the moment Maxwell addressed her father as “dad”. They were a legally wedded couple now. It was right for him to call Myles his dad. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable about it. “You must be extremely tired. I’ll fill up the bathtub for you. You can take a good, long bath!” Maxwell said while turning around to head upstairs. Sonnet looked at how happy he seemed to be and felt guilty when she thought about how uncomfo
Sonnet quickly turned over and covered her face with her hands.Heavens! She was so entranced by Maxwell’s appearance earlier that she even closed her eyes thinking that he was going to kiss her!She was the soiled one here. Ahhh!Seeing Sonnet getting all embarrassed, the smile on Maxwell’s face subconsciously becoming somewhat playful.He truly almost kissed her just now, but he restrained himself at the last moment.Maxwell was a dumb person right now. He had to constantly remind himself that he did not want her obedience to be temporarily based on his appearance.Even if he wanted to possess her with his current self, he was hoping that Sonnet would discover the good in him and fall in love with the person he currently was first.Of course. Maxwell still hoped that he could eventually face her with his true identity so that he would be able to live a normal life with her.When she woke up in the morning, Sonnet made a phone call to the hospital and learned that Myles was fi
“Mom, come and meet Lil Oriole!” Lune said to Sonnet in a crisp voice after approaching her.“Lil Oriole?”“Yeah! That’s the parrot’s name!”Lune was ecstatic, and she continued to say to the parrot on her shoulder, “Come, say hello to my mom!”“Hello, Mom!” Said the parrot in a high-pitched voice.Sonnet giggled in response. This parrot was quite charming and smart, just like the one Maxwell owned!“Is this the parrot that your friend gave you?”“Yeah! It’s really smart!” Lune raised her head proudly, as if praising her own child.Sonnet was amused, and asked casually, “What’s your friend’s name?”Lune tilted her head and pondered for a while before saying, “Mm? I don’t know his name. He told us to call him ‘Mister’.”“So, he’s older than you guys?” Sonnet asked curiously.Lune nodded and was about to answer her when Shay, who was on the side, jumped forward and tried to hug the kitten in Jaybie’s arms.His movements were sudden and exaggerated, which startled both Jaybie
The kids played until it was dark before Sonnet brought Shay back. Shay was unwilling to separate from Jaybie at first, but Jaybie ultimately managed to persuade him.On the way back, Sonnet found that Shay had actually learned a few more words—Jaybie, Lune and Kitty. Furthermore, Shay was even pulling at Sonnet and calling her ‘Mom’.At that moment, Sonnet felt Shay tugging at her heartstrings.After sending Shay back, Sonnet planned on heading over to the hospital to visit her dad before going back to Brooks household.Taking the elevator down from the top floor, she bumped into Lionel Nero, the head of the Lux Club’s security force.“Are you getting off work now, Miss Turner?” Lionel greeted her.In the past few days, everyone in Lux Club had gotten to know Sonnet.After all, it was not easy to be a private tutor for the little young master, and Mr. Scott himself had probably driven away countless tutors before.Sonnet smiled and nodded at him, before suddenly remembering so
The two had dinner at a small restaurant near the Lux Club.Sonnet lied to Lionel that she was helping out her best friend, who got herself drunk and had a one night stand with a man in room 308 of the Lux Club. Now, her best friend was hoping that she could find the man.Lionel had an understanding expression on his face. “That night must have been very memorable!”“Well, she was drunk so there were probably some good memories. That’s why she wanted to look for the guy, but she really can’t remember the man’s appearance.”“What if he turns out to be ugly?” Lionel winked.Sonnet giggled and replied, “Whether or not he is, that’s her business. We’re just helping her to look for him. It’s also a coincidence that I happened to work at Lux Club, so she’s been bugging me for help.”Lionel patted his chest, vouching, “Leave this matter to me. I’ll ask around for you, and the people in Lux Club will probably try to help me out too.”Sonnet proceeded to thank him again and again.She w
The next day Sonnet went to work, a girl followed her into the elevator as soon as she stepped in.The girl seemed like she was in her early twenties and had dreadlocks.Lux Club was supposedly closed in the morning, so Sonnet wondered how she got in.After she walked in, she leaned closer against Sonnet, and Sonnet subconsciously moved aside.Somehow, the girl frowned and raged out, “What’s the matter? Do you think I’m dirty?”Sonnet smiled. “I think you’ve misunderstood. I merely thought that since the space is big, I was giving you some more space.”“You just think I’m dirty and don’t wanna be close to me!”As the girl said this, she stretched out her hand, wanting to hit Sonnet.Sonnet nimbly dodge her by holding onto her hand, and said coldly, “I don’t think it’s nice of you to casually hit someone like this, right?”“How is it not nice? You’re the one I’m hitting!”As the girl spoke, she tried to land a kick on Sonnet.Sonnet did not manage to dodge this time and it le
Sonnet turned around. She caught sight of a tall and plump figure in her upside-down vision! Although Fatso was plump, he ran over extremely quickly. He resembled an elephant. Two out of the four men raising her up rushed forward to stop Fatso. However, Fatso hit them all to the ground by throwing a few punches and kicks at them. The men looked extremely strong and sturdy, but they were in a completely different weight class in comparison to Fatso! The two men remaining were so shocked that they put Sonnet down and tried to escape. Fatso supported Sonnet and shouted out at them, “You’re way too bold. How dare you touch Mr. Scott’s woman?!” The two men turned around and ran back after hearing what he said. They got on their knees in front of Fatson and shouted, “Have mercy on us! We didn’t know that she was Mr. Scott’s woman. If we knew that, we would never have dared to do something like this!” Fatso said in a heavy voice, “Cut off the hand that you used to touch her
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
