In the afternoon, Maxwell drove to Erudite Academy.He got there in time, just when school was over. Sophia held Jaybie with her left hand and Lune in her right as they walked home.When Lune saw him, she skipped over to him happily and grabbed his harm. “Mr. Yates, why are you here?”“I don’t have a lot to do and I got off work early. When I drove home, I passed this place and saw you coincidentally.” Maxwell said with a smile, “Right, I have a friend who has a pet shop. He gave me some quality bird feed. Can I give it to your birds?”“Of course! Mr. Yates, you’re amazing! No wonder Lil Oriole likes you so much!” Lune accepted without hesitation.Maxwell continued, “There are two big bags and I’ll send them to your house later.”If he could go to their house, he could play with the parrots. And he could wait for Sonnet to come home.“Daddy!” Suddenly, Jaybie, who was walking behind Sophia, exclaimed excitedly.Maxwell turned around and saw Jaybie running toward him with his ar
Sophia smacked Lucas playfully with a smile. “You’re a godfather now, stop acting like a child.”Maxwell was pissed. ‘He’s their family and I’m an outsider. Why should I go to their house if this is the case? Wouldn’t I be asking for it?’“I bought two bags of bird feed for the parrot. Why don’t you take them, Mr. Mack?” Maxwell said to Lucas.Lucas replied with a grin, “Alright, thanks!”Maxwell replied reluctantly, “You’re welcome.”After taking the bird feed, the family went home happily. As Maxwell watched them leave, he was very irritated on the inside.If Maxwell was still alive, the two children would not care about their godfather.At that moment, he wanted to tell Sonnet who he really was.After they got home, Sophia got a call from Lindy. “What? Didn’t you say you’ll come back for dinner? Um, Lucas is back and he’s having dinner with us…”“Let me rearrange my time!” Lindy said immediately when she heard Lucas was back.After hanging up, she called Marcus. “Mr. Pine,
“Boy, do you want to start a fight?” Maxwell grabbed Marcus’ arm.Marcus looked dispirited like he had thrown caution to the wind. “Come on then! Even though I can’t defeat you, I’m not scared of getting beaten up.”Maxwell wanted to punch Marcus a few times but when he heard what Marcus said, he stopped being angry and burst into laughter.“Look how much of a wuss you are. You’re thinking about getting hit before I even start?”“It’s because you’re my opponent. If it’s other people, I won’t allow that,” Marcus widened his eyes.Marcus massaged his arm and sighed, “Why should we fight? This will only hurt the people who love us and please the people who hate us. Think about it, that celebrity is still with our women.”As Marcus said that, he was pissed. “No, we have to protect our women!”The two shook hands and the wife protection squad was formed.Maxwell and Marcus were pissed at their common enemy on this side, but on the other side, Sonnet’s house was very joyous.Lucas a
He had drank a lot tonight, so she was worried he would be thirsty after that.“Sonnet…” Lucas mumbled.Lindy’s hands that were putting on his blanket froze in mid-air.“When will you understand how I feel? We always miss each other, but this time I don’t want to miss out on you again…” Lucas muttered in his drunken sleep.Lindy felt her heart grow cold.She already had an answer to her dilemma.How could she forget that Sonnet was currently single?Back then, Lucas was self-conscious since he did not have the money, so he did not confess to Sonnet. Therefore, he missed out on Sonnet.Now, everything was different. Lucas had money and he did not have any worries anymore.He could pursue Sonnet brazenly. Now, Sonnet was still vulnerable from losing the man she loved, so she would need Lucas to shower her with love.Lindy suddenly realized she was the third party in this.If she promised Lucas to be his assistant, she would have to watch Lucas getting intimate with her best fr
Lucas was a little surprised. "You have a boyfriend?"Lindy nodded guiltily. Lucas was excited. "Congratulations! Come on, tell me! What's his name? How old is he? What does he do? Let me assess him for you!"When Lucas heard that she had a boyfriend, not only he was not disappointed but genuinely happy for her. Lindy felt bad for herself.‘He truly doesn’t have feelings for me…’Compared to his despair when he heard that Sonnet was married, his expression was completely different from today."Hurry up, tell me! Tell me!" Lucas turned into a gossip bestie with anticipation on his face.Lindy said quietly, "His name is Marcus Pine, twenty-eight years old, and he is a barrister—""The Queen’s Counsel that worked for the Brooks in Harbor City?" Lucas interrupted Lindy excitedly.Lindy nodded. "You knew him too?""Of course, I do. The Pine family is a famous family of lawyers. Not only they were the Queen’s Counsel of the Brooks in Harbor City, but they were also famous in North
He immediately wanted to rush out and slap the man's disgusting hand off his wifey's shoulder.He held back instead because he heard Sonnet ask, "Lucas, what do you want to tell me?""I... I... Sonnet, I have kept this in my heart for a long time and I must tell you today. I want to say, I love you, Sonnet, I want to marry you!"Maxwell's handsome face immediately collapsed and turned icy cold.‘This man confessed his love to my wifey! Damn it! This is outright taking advantage of her misfortune!’Then he held his breath and listened quietly, waiting for Sonnet's answer.‘I’m the one my darling wifey loves the most, how can she accept this man's love? She will certainly reject him!’However, he was deeply disturbed inside. ‘After all, Maxwell was already "dead". Even if my wifey accepted the love of other men, there was nothing wrong with it, right?’It felt like a long time before Sonnet finally replied. "Lucas, what you said was beyond my expectation. Over the years, I have a
"Huh?" Howard thought he misheard."I said, I won't interfere with your company signing artists," Maxwell said in a deep voice.“Ohh…” Howard responded but he muttered inside, ‘With a jealous madman like Maxwell, wouldn’t he take action against Lucas?‘If my company signs Lucas, any retaliation from Maxwell will definitely affect my company!’"That...Actually, we can sign other people too...Nowadays there are a lot of male actors——""No! Sign him!" Maxwell's voice suddenly increased.Howard's heart trembled, as he heard Maxwell continue. "Sign as many years as you can! He’ll be an artist in your company after that. Then wouldn’t you have the final say if he crawls or grovels?""Oh——Okay, then I’ll sign him!" Howard immediately understood. As expected, the man has not lost his edge.He hung up the phone with a bitter face. ‘Seems like this artist can’t be entrusted with important tasks even after signing the contract. I’ve to find another potential…’After Maxwell spoke to Howa
Maxwell hurriedly nodded. He understood that she just refused his pursuit!"Secondly, just because I tell you this, doesn't mean I say the same to others, you know?"Maxwell felt violently attacked. ‘Does that mean that was just an excuse for darling wifey to reject me? If she met a man she liked, it would be fine?’Sonnet carried on. "However, what I told you is also the truth. I rejected you with what I said today, and I refused others for the same reason too. At present, I still love my husband and will not accept other men.”"Then you still—""What else? He’s just someone from my childhood. We grew up together. He’s like a brother to me, nothing more!"After Sonnet finished, she felt a little regretful. Why did she explain this to him? Their relationship has not yet reached that level of disclosure. Probably because she saw his pitiful face and did not want him to feel unfair.Maxwell twiddled his fingers. Could he say that he overheard Lucas confessing his love to her just
