This made him look abnormal.Sonnet’s heart tightened. She held his face, asking, “What’s wrong, Maxwell?”Maxwell did not answer. Instead, he gasped for air.“Maxwell?” Sonnet called out softly.Maxwell finally lifted his eyes to stare at her blankly.“Maxwell, do you feel unwell… Ugh!”Before Sonnet could finish, Maxwell pounced on her and pressed her against the wet tiles of the bathroom.Maxwell was feeling dizzy. Suddenly, he tasted something salty on his lips.He was taken aback when he suddenly realized what it was. He stopped and looked at the woman whom he had trapped in his arms.Her face was wet with tears. She looked devastated.At that moment, Maxwell felt like he was stabbed in the heart. It was excruciating.Maxwell slowly came back to his senses.What did he do? He was about to force the woman he loved and almost hurt her!He pulled his arms away as if electrocuted. “Go. Go now!”Sonnet ran out of the bathroom, gasping for air and using the wall for suppor
Diane had changed out of her black lace nightdress. Now she was wearing a normal oversized white T-shirt and a pair of jeans.She sat on the sofa with her head lowered, looking like a school kid who had been caught making a mistake.Alex stood next to her. He was burly, a cold expression on his face, looking terrifying.When he saw Maxwell walk in, there was a look of respect on Alex’s cold face. “Mr. Brooks.”Maxwell nodded to him. “Did you find out who instructed her?”Alex looked embarrassed. “She said Mrs. Cain asked her to do this, saying that if she’s able to make you take a fancy to her, she can leave her destitute family.”Maxwell frowned. “Mrs. Cain?”“Mrs. Wilson’s cousin.”Maxwell’s face turned cold as he looked at Diane. “What did Mrs. Cain ask you to do?”Diane widened her eyes at the man in front of her. Mrs. Cain told her this man was mentally challenged so it would be easy to take him down, but why…“Why? Do you really want to be in that kind of business?” Max
Mrs. Wilson looked at Maxwell blankly.He was indeed different from before. His eyes were cold, with prestige in his voice. Moreover, his entire demeanor seemed cold and powerful.‘He doesn’t seem like the young master from before…’Maxwell smirked when he saw Mrs. Wilson silent. “Mrs. Wilson, your orange juice was not bad. I think you spent a lot of effort to get the extra ingredient in the juice, right?”Mrs. Wilson’s expression changed. She stared at Maxwell and could not get a single word out after moving her lips.‘He doesn’t look and sound like a fool!‘Is it possible that he had become smarter after doing that with the girl?‘No, he’s not only slightly smarter. He looks like he’s always like this!’Mrs. Wilson was too alarmed and shocked. She was so shocked she could not speak.Maxwell crossed his arms across his chest and said coldly, “Alright, stop pretending to be shocked. Tell me, who instructed you to drug my orange juice?”His words were like a clap of thunder pu
Maxwell could not hold back his laughter. “So you decided to drug my orange juice so something will happen between me and that Diane girl?”Mrs. Wilson nodded. “I just thought that you’re so innocent and you’ve never slept with Sonnet before. Maybe another young girl will let you get the taste of intimacy so that you will stop paying attention to Sonnet again…”Her voice became softer towards the end as Maxwell stared at her.Maxwell was even more amused now. “Mrs. Wilson, you’re something else. You even know I never slept with Sonnet. How do you know?”“I… I accidentally overheard you talking to her…” Mrs. Wilson looked at her fingers like a school kid who was caught.Maxwell did not know what to say.He pointed at Mrs. Wilson a few times before asking, “Is that all?”“Yes!” Mrs. Wilson lifted her fingers to swear. “I’m only doing this for your own good! If I’m lying, I will let Miss come into my dream every night to criticize me!”When Mrs. Wilson mentioned ‘Miss’, Maxwell fe
Maxwell pretended to be angry. "Mrs. Wilson, I don't care, I want Sonnet anyway. You can't make trouble for me anymore and drive her away. If she is really driven away by you, I will hold you accountable!"Mrs. Wilson immediately compromised. "Okay, okay, young master, if you like her, Mrs. Wilson will like her too, so you just do whatever you want.""Mrs. Wilson, I still need to continue pretending to be a fool for a while. During this time, you must keep it a secret for me. You must not let Sonnet know that I'm not a fool, understand?""I know, young master. You want to test her again, I understand. Don't worry, I will never reveal anything!" Mrs. Wilson giggled cheekily.Maxwell was unsure whether to laugh or cry at Mrs. Wilson's presumptuous nature.Maxwell sent people to take Diane Luther straight back to her hometown, and he himself took Mrs. Wilson home.On the way back, Maxwell looked at Mrs. Wilson. "You've been unwell for the past few days. Were you just pretending?"M
"What... what's the matter, young Miss?" Mrs. Wilson's voice was a little anxious."Mrs. Wilson, when I married Maxwell, I hid something from you.""What…is it?""Actually, I have two children. You know these two children. They are Jaybie and Lune."After Sonnet dropped the bomb, she stopped and looked at Mrs. Wilson.She thought Mrs. Wilson would be shocked, and maybe question her. She was already mentally prepared to bear all Mrs. Wilson's doubts.Mrs. Wilson's eyes widened, but her expression was strangely between being shocked and yet not surprised.Then she smiled with a stern look. "Oh, I like Jaybie and Lune very much. It's great that they are young Miss' children!"Sonnet’s eyes widened. She was surprised by Mrs. Wilson’s reaction!"Mrs. Wilson, you...you already knew they were my children?""No, no, no! I didn’t know!" Mrs. Wilson hurriedly waved her hands, as though afraid that Sonnet might misunderstand."Then you...."She just accepted it so readily? This is not
When she returned to the room, Maxwell had just come out of the shower. Topless, he brought his wet hair closer to her."Wifey!" He was like a little puppy wagging his tail, flashed Sonnet a flattering smile, "Do you still mean what you say?""What?" Sonnet asked.He immediately puffed his cheeks and said angrily, "Wifey is cheating!"For a moment, Sonnet could not remember what he was referring to and rubbed his head with a smile. "What did I do?""About... about us sleeping..."Sonnet's heart fluttered, and half of her face turned red.Call this guy a fool, but he was not stupid. He still remembered.But she really did not intend to weasel her way out of this. Now that Mrs. Wilson has accepted her, as long as Maxwell also accepts, she can consummate the marriage with him in the future!She laughed and said softly, "I never meant to play tricks, but before going to bed, I have something to tell you.""What's the matter?""Well, um, actually, before I married you, I had two
Sonnet had overslept.Sonnet was annoyed that she got up late, and complained under her breath.She got out of bed, supporting herself at the waist, and saw Maxwell skipping happily out of the bathroom."Wifey, I squeezed toothpaste for you!" He leaned his head towards her and smiled at her to claim the credit.Sonnet stretched out her hand to him. "Come, help me."Seeing that Sonnet seemed to be in pain, Maxwell's face immediately turned worried. "Did Maxwell hurt you, I'm sorry my wifey!"Sonnet's heart was a little upset at his remorseful demeanor.She smiled softly at him and said, "It's okay."Maxwell scooped her up horizontally in his arms."Hey, what are you doing?!" Sonnet put her arms around his neck."I'll take Wifey to brush her teeth, don't move Wifey, I'll take care of you!"Although the words coming from his mouth were simple, Maxwell's heart was turbulent.He took a deep breath to suppress his boiling arousal and carried Sonnet into the bathroom.Gently plac
