Sonnet’s heart softened when she saw the angry look on her son’s face. She could not bring herself to blame the children. They were just trying to protect their mom. They did not know how serious this incident was. She knelt and caressed Jaybie’s shoulder. “I know you want to protect me, but both of you made a mistake this time.” Jaybie was prepared to be scolded but did not expect Sonnet to speak to him in such a gentle tone. His eyes reddened at once. He spoke up softly, “Mom, will that powder really put one’s life in danger?” Sonnet sighed lightly and said, “You’ve read some medical books as well. You know that there are specific dosages when it comes to medicine. I don’t know what will happen if he takes an overly large dosage of the powder!” A hint of panic flashed across Jaybie’s gaze. “What if he really… What should we do?” “Let’s check in on him first,” Sonnet said. She guessed that Johnson’s condition should not be that serious. Otherwise, the ambulance w
Maxwell gaped in shock. He did not expect the children to have drugged him! “Why would you do this?” He could not help but ask. Jaybie raised his head and fixed a piercing glare on him. “That’s because we saw you bullying mom! Mom told us that one should always own up to their mistakes and be courageous enough to admit to their faults. Therefore, we’re apologizing to you right now. Shouldn’t you apologize to mom as well?” “Jaybie!” Sonnet shouted at her son. She had asked the children to apologize to Johnson and told them that one must always own up to their mistakes. However, she did not expect Jaybie to say something like that to Maxwell. Trying to make Johnson apologize to her after apologizing himself! Maxwell was stunned. He then gradually broke out into a smile. Jaybie was a rather stubborn kid. But he was right. He was an honorable man. He should apologize for his mistakes. He realized that he had overstepped Sonnet’s boundaries last night. He was about to t
The teacher’s name was Vespa Neal. She was the oldest among them at thirty-five years old. Usually, it was extremely hard for someone at her age to study since she had a family. Sonnet admired her for being able to get admitted into the program. “Oh, the unit costs 430 dollars a week. Four of us are renting it together, so it only costs around a hundred dollars per week. It’s alright.” Their rent was only around 215 dollars per week but Sonnet did not dare to tell them that. Therefore, she told them the market price. “Oh, that’s pretty alright. If any of your housemates move out, please look for me! I’ll move in with you!” Maggie immediately said. However, Vespa pouted and said, “A hundred dollars per week isn’t cheap.”Sonnet hummed in response to what Maggie said. Just then, the school bell rang. Everyone took their seats. Maggie elbowed Laurel Quin, who was sitting next to her. “Class is starting. Stop playing with your phone and looking at pictures of your favor
Tsk tsk. Sonnet and Lucas had grown up together. She had never seen him dressed that way before! She had to admit that he looked youthful and radiant in the photo. He looked extremely handsome in the prince’s costume! Laurel’s eyes shone as she stared at her phone screen. She did not blink at all. “His acting is really natural. He’s the best actor in this television series! He finally managed to get the male lead role this time around. I believe that this television series will definitely do well!” Sonnet was immersed in the live stream as well. She felt she had discovered another side of Lucas while watching him act. Suddenly, she felt wrong for going against his decision to give up on the national college entrance examinations back then. He really loved acting. She should have supported him! When she got home that night, Lindy grabbed her arm excitedly and said, “Let me tell you some good news. The television series where Lucas is acting as the male lead is showing online!”
After having dinner and sending Maxwell off, Lindy asked Sonnet to go out for a walk as an excuse. She then dragged Sonnet downstairs and asked, “What’s with Johnson Yates? I thought he was Maxwell at first glance!” Sonnet lowered her eyes and said softly, “I had the same feeling when I first saw him. However, it’s obviously not him. His physique is just similar to that of Maxwell’s.” Lindy rested her chin on her hand and said, “That’s true. His face looks completely different from Maxwell's. Besides, his voice is different as well. However, his eyes are rather similar to Maxwell’s. “Do they? I don’t think so! Maxwell has double eyelids but his are single eyelids. The shapes of their eyes are different as well.” Lindy shook her head and said, “I’m not referring to the shapes of their eyes. I’m referring to their gazes. I can’t describe it. Anyways, I just feel like his gaze resembles Maxwell’s a lot at certain moments.” Sonnet thought about it for a while. She realized th
Sonnet stared at Johnson’s side profile in a daze. His side profile did not resemble Maxwell’s at all. However, why did she have the feeling that he looked just like Maxwell?She felt slightly confused. After a while, she heard his hoarse voice, “What if I told you I really wanted to pursue you?”After speaking, Maxwell held his breath and waited for her to answer him. He felt rather conflicted. He hoped that she would agree to date him. At the same time, he wished that she would not agree to his request either. However, she asked him, “Are you pursuing me just because you’re looking for a fling or are you looking for a long-term relationship?” “If you’re trying to seek a long-term relationship, you’d better consider my circumstances. I have two children. Why haven’t you bothered to ask about my children’s father? You don’t know if I’m divorced, if I lost my husband, or if I’m an unmarried mother. If you’re looking for a fling, you won’t have to consider these problems.” Max
Sonnet gaped in shock. Was Johnson a fool? She had already told him that she would never fall for him, but he simply replied that he did not mind! “Well, did you understand what I meant just now?” Could he not comprehend what she had said? “I understand what you meant. You said that you won’t fall for me because you still love your husband. You love your husband a lot.” Maxwell said cheerily, “I told you that I don’t mind. You can continue loving him.” Sonnet felt that perhaps there was something wrong with his comprehension skills. “So you'll pursue me even if I still love my husband? ” “That’s right. You can continue loving your husband. I’ll just continue pursuing you.” “Is it alright even if I don’t like you?” “It’s alright, I don’t mind!” Sonnet remained silent for a while. Sometime later, her expression darkened as she said, “I’ve told you everything clearly. I’m not the type to sleep around with other men!” If he did not mind the fact that she would no
Maxwell's heart was singing right now. He screamed in his heart, 'I love you too, wifey! I love you so, so much!'To him, the path from the suburb to the university was just too short. He had to part ways with her before he had enough of her love confessions. When they were about to reach the road to the university entrance, he turned around to try and extend the journey, all so he could hear more.However, Sonnet saw through his ruse. "Why are you taking a detour?""Oh, am I?" Maxwell feigned ignorance. "Sorry, it hasn't been that long since I came to Harbor City. I'm not too familiar with the area."Sonnet narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "If you don't know the area, why aren't you using a navigation system?""Uh, I checked the route earlier, and I thought it wasn't too hard to remember." Maxwell rubbed his head. "Turn around right now, or I'll be late!" Sonnet commanded. Maxwell had no choice but to turn around and head back to the university gate.When they reached the g
