“Miss, did you come here alone?” A waiter came over to greet Sonnet. Sonnet nodded and looked around. She sat in a secluded corner of the restaurant and ordered something to eat. She ate while observing Hayden. Hayden stood up to greet the young woman when she arrived. Both sat down opposite each other and started chatting happily. It looked like they knew each other very well. Hayden must have been so focused on flirting with the young woman that he had not even noticed that Sonnet was nearby. Sonnet slowly ate the expensive steak that she had ordered while observing him. After a while, the young woman got up to go to the washroom. Sonnet immediately stood up and walked up to Hayden. Hayden gaped in shock when he caught sight of her. He could not bring himself to say anything! “Mr. Gunn, you must be surprised to see me here, right? I have no intention of interrupting your date but I had no choice but to come over to see you since you blocked off all contact with me!” S
The woman had an irritated expression on her face. “What are you laughing at?!” “It’s the first time I’ve heard someone describing a playboy so well. So playboys only become playboys because they’re way too gentlemanly and can’t bear rejecting women! You’ve enlightened me!” “Hay isn’t a playboy!” The woman’s face reddened as she trembled in rage. She had evidently grown up in an entitled and wealthy family. Therefore, she did not even know how to argue with someone. Sonnet sneered and said, “Don’t assume that everyone has the same taste as you. I don’t like Hayden at all! I’m looking for him for other reasons!” After speaking, she got up and walked outside. Initially, she wanted to discuss matters with Hayden nicely. However, Hayden was being way too disrespectful towards her. Instead of coming over himself, he had asked this woman to come over to humiliate her! If that were the case, she would not bother being nice to him! Sonnet walked to the restaurant next door. Si
Sonnet showed him a photograph of a report on her phone. The figure 99.9999% was shown on the report.“What…What is this?” He asked her curiously. “Are you still pretending not to know anything?” Sonnet sneered. “Pretending…not to know anything?” Hayden felt even more confused. Sonnet showed him the first page and pointed at the words. “Can you see it clearly now? It’s a paternity test report!” “Whose paternity test report?” “Of course, it’s you and your children’s test report!” “My children and I? Since when did I have children?” Sonnet’s face darkened. “Hayden Gunn, I’ve already shown you the paternity report. Are you still trying to deny the truth?” “What do you want me to admit?! I don’t know what you’re talking about! What children are you referring to? Which child is it?” Hayden had a stupefied expression on his face. “Jaybie!” Sonnet shouted out. She had really overestimated Hayden’s personality. He was still acting clueless! Hayden was stunned. He
Hayden was shocked. He almost lost his balance and fell off his seat!“No way! We can’t do that!” If Maxwell found out that Sonnet wanted him to get her pregnant, he would truly skin him alive! They would probably have to cut ties! After hearing Hayden’s rejection, Sonnet said icily, “Why can’t you do it? You don’t need to do anything. I just need you to donate some… semen.” “No, we can’t do that! How can I have a child with you?” Hayden asked frantically. “We already have two children! So what if we have one more child?” Sonnet asked in a hardened voice. “Mr. Gunn, don’t underestimate a mother’s determination to save her own child. If you insist on refusing to help me, I’ll bring this up to your family members!” Hayden started panicking. “That’s not the issue here. I’m not Jaybie’s biological father! It’s useless even if I donate my semen to you!” Sonnet smacked her phone heavily and asked him, “Does that mean that you think that this paternity test report is wrong?”
Firstly, all of them only went to the washroom briefly. How could any of them have slept with Sonnet in such a short time? Besides, there were security guards in the club. If they had entered the wrong room, one of the security guards would have reminded them.No, it was unlikely that one of them had entered the wrong room. What in the world had happened that night? Hayden was clueless as well. “Since you insist on denying what happened, there’s only one thing we can do now. You must do another paternity test with Jaybie.” The firm tone of Sonnet’s voice brought Hayden back to reality. He nodded and said, “It seems like that’s the only way.” He had to prove his innocence first! “Alright, follow me back to Harbor City tomorrow. We’ll do a paternity test at once. I’ll retrieve the genetic samples that will be tested in front of you. You can decide on the paternity test center. That way, you don’t need to worry about there being errors in the results!” Sonnet said col
Carter was quiet for a moment before he replied, "He went to a reliable center for a paternity test.""A paternity test?! With whom?""I tried to find out, but I didn't get any details. All I figured out is that he asked a nurse to pay him a home visit to take that blood sample today."Maxwell was stunned. All of a sudden, he remembered seeing a nurse walking out of the door with a medical case before he saw Hayden and Sonnet emerging from the room.He had not paid that any attention at the time, but now that he connected the dots with Hayden and Sonnet's movements, he was suddenly struck speechless. Could Jaybie and Lune be Hayden's biological children?Was Hayden the man Sonnet has been looking for all this time?!That would explain everything. Why else would Sonnet approach Hayden so uncharacteristically? It was probably because she realized that Hayden was the children's biological father!Maxwell felt as though a fire blazed in his chest. It burned and hurt.He could n
The other men gasped in unison and turned to look at Maxwell as one.Maxwell's expression was stormy, on the verge of a violent explosion.Logan could feel Maxwell's body gradually building up more strength. He secretly held him back with more force, but Logan was not sure if he could stop Maxwell later.The room was so silent they could hear a pin drop!"Why did she ask you for another child?" Maxwell said coldly after a long, long time. "Because she wants to save Jaybie! He needs the umbilical cord stem cells of a full biological sibling. It would increase his chances of getting a match."Hayden added, "But I swear, I'm not Jaybie's biological father! I did a second test to figure out where Sonnet's test went wrong.""But how? How did you and Sonnet…?" Marcus was relieved at first, but then he asked again anxiously. Hayden's gaze swept across the other men. "You're all as suspect as I am!""Why do you say so?" Logan was not involved in any of this, so he crossed his arms,
Maxwell looked at Logan, who continued, "I first met Sonnet when she asked about Lil Lux Club. She confused the place with mine. I even helped her with her investigations for a while.""So you knew all along?" Howard asked in surprise. Logan nodded. "Yeah, that's why I say it's a series of coincidences. I knew the truth, but I was the only one who didn't go that night. You never told me about it, either, so I had no idea you were involved in this."He then turned to Maxwell. "Maxwell knows about the story too, but he forgot that he was ever there. You three remember going there, but you didn't know her side of the story.""So what do we do now?" Howard asked, scratching his head. "I don't remember having a one-night stand with anyone. I'm still an innocent virgin here!"Marcus hurriedly added, "Yeah, same here." As soon as he said that, he suddenly remembered that he recently had his first time with the woman he loved.He recalled his wonderful time with Lindy, and his mind imme
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
