"Don't be mad, Mom. We just really want to be with you! It really hurts when we have to call you Aunty, we just want to move in with you as soon as possible!" Lune tugged at Sonnet's hem, on the verge of tears. Seeing her children so upset and worked up, Sonnet's heart twisted painfully in her chest. They did not have any ulterior motives. They just wanted to live with their mother again!It was all because she was too selfish. She was so caught up with staying by Maxwell's side that she neglected her children's feelings. Every day, they had to watch her living with Uncle Maxwell as a couple, while they had to call her Aunt Sonnet like an outsider. That must have been so hard on them!She had been far too selfish!Her eyes reddened with tears. She crouched down and gathered the children into her arms. "I promise I'll settle everything as soon as I can, okay? And I want you to promise you'll never do something like that again.""Mom, just tell Uncle Maxwell! He really likes
Mrs. Wilson stumbled home. Not long after she returned to the house, Maxwell came back as well.As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Where's my wifey?"Mrs. Wilson frowned. "Young Master, if your wifey all you ever think about now?"Maxwell blinked and looked at her.There was something off about Mrs. Wilson today. Whenever he asked about his wife before this, she would happily tell him, "Hurry up and go to her side, Young Master." But today—Besides, she looked a little pale right now. Was she feeling unwell?At the thought, Maxwell hurriedly sat down next to her. "Are you feeling sick anywhere, Mrs. Wilson?"Mrs. Wilson hesitated. She was about to expose Sonnet for who she really was, but she held back. The Young Master was very naive, and right now he was extremely fond of Sonnet. He would not believe her even if she told him. That was why she could not tell him so easily. Doing so would only let Sonnet know that she was onto her. After that, what if Sonnet tried
That night, Mr. Pine had called Maxwell over to check on the profits, but Sonnet did not know about that yet. Mrs. Wilson could not let her know. Sonnet was a dastardly woman. She went to all those lengths just to get Maxwell's allowance. If she found out about his other assets, she would be even more determined to leech off of him. Maxwell and Sonnet both turned to look at Mrs. Wilson in surprise.Mrs. Wilson reacted quickly. She knew that interrupting Maxwell so abruptly would only rouse Sonnet’s suspicions, so she hurriedly leaned against the wall nearby, purposely stumbling as she walked. “Young Master, I… I don’t feel so well…”“Uh-oh! Where are you feeling sick, Mrs. Wilson?” Maxwell immediately went to help her.He could tell from just now that there was something off about her. As he thought, she was sick.“My… My head’s spinning…” Mrs. Wilson held her forehead.“Shall I take you to the hospital?” Sonnet approached her and held her other arm.However, Mrs. Wilson brok
In the hospital room, Mrs. Wilson lay on the hospital bed while Maxwell lay next to her, keeping her company."Sorry, Young Master. I'm old and weak now, so I had to trouble you!" Mrs. Wilson said apologetically. Maxwell waved her off. "It's my duty to take care of you!"Not only was he going to take care of her, he was determined to do it for the rest of her life. Something flashed in Mrs. Wilson's eyes, and she said with a sigh, "You have your wife now, Young Master, so there's someone else to take care of you. To be honest, it's about time for me to leave you two alone.""Mrs. Wilson! If you keep saying things like that, I'll get mad!" Maxwell immediately threw a fit. Mrs. Wilson was unmarried, and she had no kids. He would never let her leave the Brooks household. Mrs. Wilson smiled, reassured. "Don't be mad, Young Master. I was just joking. I'll have to stay at home to take care of your baby with the Young Miss!"She was just kidding at first, but she stiffened when sh
It was completely dark out now, and the wind suddenly picked up. The wind was so strong that it sent the leaves flying everywhere. Sonnet could barely open her eyes.She pulled her coat closer and moved forward with difficulty until she finally reached the subway station nearby.She took the train to the closest stop to Westfield Hospital. When she emerged from the station, she suddenly saw that it was drizzling. Since Westfield Hospital was only two bus stops away, it made no sense to hail a cab there. She decided to walk to the hospital instead.As she was walking there halfway, though, the wind suddenly blew into a gale and the rain became heavier. Sonnet ran to Westfield Hospital. By the time she arrived, most of her coat and her hair were drenched.Maxwell could barely bear to see her like that. He hastily took off her coat for her and wiped her hair with a towel.Mrs. Wilson watched coldly as her Young Master carefully dried Sonnet's hair, feeling far from pleased. "
Sonnet's body was suddenly pushed against the wall. It just showed how much force Maxwell put into that kiss.After that, she wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck and responded to his kiss passionately. Ever since she decided to give herself to him, her feelings for him had grown even stronger. After just one night of sleeping alone, she realized how much she really missed him. Now that he was kissing her so passionately, she let go of her inhibitions and responded in kind.The two of them kissed like there was no tomorrow, their bodies pressed close as though they wanted to melt into each other. Mrs. Wilson turned red just watching them. She had never dated or married all her life, so she was as innocent as a little girl in these matters. Her blood almost boiled over when she saw such an intimate scene.She wanted to turn and leave, but on second thoughts she forced herself to stay and keep watching. No, she could not leave. She had to keep an eye on the two of them s
Judging by their conversation just now, did it mean Sonnet and the Young Master had yet to consummate their marriage?Hmph!She was such a cunning witch. She had been living off the Young Master's fortune, yet she never even gave him her body after all this time!And now that she was going to tell him about her children, she suddenly decided to sleep with him?Mrs. Wilson was not going to let her trick the Young Master like that!Mrs. Wilson huffed for a bit before something occurred to her. If the Young Master had yet to sleep with her, wouldn't that make it easier to tear them apart?And here Mrs. Wilson was worried that he would be too attached to her body to let her go. Mrs. Wilson burst out laughing. The Young Master was a full-blooded adult man, after all. What if she arranged another girl for him and gave him another taste first?In that case, the Young Master's affections would probably transfer from Sonnet to that other girl!What a brilliant plan!Now all she had
The address Mrs. Wilson gave was not far from Westfield Hospital. Maxwell arrived after a ten-minute drive.He asked Lewis to wait downstairs while he went up to get the girl.At the door to the room, he rang the doorbell and a girl’s voice could be heard from the inside. “Who is it?”“Mary Wilson asked me to come and pick you up,” Maxwell said from the outside.Mary Wilson was Mrs. Wilson.The door opened with a creak and a girl appeared before Maxwell.She was about 18-19 years old. She was pretty, with big eyes and thick eyebrows. Her skin was tanned. At the same time, she was tall and slim, with a very nice body.She wore a black lace nightdress that showed the curves of a mature woman.Maxwell was stunned.“Are you… Diane Luther?” Maxwell cleared his throat and asked.“Y-Yes. Are you Mr. Brooks?”“I am. Mrs. Wilson asked me to get you. Um, please put on your clothes and come with me.”As Maxwell said that, his eyes started to wander.He pinched his palm fiercely.‘Wh
