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 girl with dreadlocks that they were referring to should be the girl that had fought with her in the lift this afternoon. They mentioned that she thought that Sonnet had snatched her man from her. They also mentioned that the man was working in the security department. She had only had a single meal with Lionel from the security department. Could it be…She called Lionel as soon as she thought about this. “Lionel, I think your girlfriend must have misunderstood our relationship…”Lionel said frantically, “I already know about what happened. Fatso came to look for me just now! I’m so sorry for causing you so much trouble. She isn’t my girlfriend either. She just likes me a lot. I didn’t know that you were Mr. Scott’s woman. I’ll never do this again…”“Don’t misunderstand. Mr. Scott said that just to get me out of that situation. Besides, we’re normal friends. It’s alright for us to meet up with each other.” “No, no, I won’t dare to do that ever again.” Lionel hung up on the ca
