"This is clearly an act of Mr. Simp demonstrating his devotion to his goddess!""You mean, Maxwell orchestrated Miss Rich & Stunning’s pursuit of Johnson Yates?" Marcus, who had never been a gossiper, could not help but join in."Well, he orchestrated the whole thing! It sounded fake when I first heard about it, so I asked around to find out."Maxwell frowned and cursed under his breath. "Damned it, Carter.""Hey, don't you blame Carter. He didn't say anything. I found out Miss Rich & Stunning was Carter's classmate, so I guessed that you wrote the script. However, your script is terrible, such as "I've known you for so many years, I've never seen you look at any woman," are all so old-fashioned! What kind of corny lines is that? You might as well blast in Sonnet’s ear with a loudspeaker proclaiming she is your one and only!” Hayden said leisurely.Maxwell took a sip of wine and spat. "If you keep your mouth shut, nobody will think you’re stupid!"Marcus was amused. "Sonnet is no
Lindy was excited. "Oh, it’s a high possibility that Lil Three has arrived!"Sonnet smiled and playfully shoved her. "Keep your voice down."Sonnet and Lindy went back to the dinner table. Confused, Sophia asked, "Sonnet, are you having indigestion lately? If your stomach hurts, avoid meat and dairy, and eat more vegetables and fiber.""Oh okay," Sonnet mumbled.Then, she felt someone was looking at her. She raised her head and met Johnson's gaze.His eyes showed surprise, and he was thinking the same thing.He gobbled up his food in three mouthfuls and said to everyone, "I’m busy later. I have to go." Then he left.When Sonnet finished dinner, she wanted to go buy pregnancy sticks. She met Johnson downstairs.He handed a small paper bag to her. "I bought you some pregnancy sticks. Quick, go test it out!"Sonnet lowered her head and saw that he had bought a small bag of pregnancy sticks!Sonnet burst out laughing. "Why did you buy so many?""I bought a few just to be sure!
She has not decided whether to tell the children that Johnson was their biological father.Johnson seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said anxiously, "There’s no hiding from Aunt York and Uncle Myles. And I don’t think we can even hide it from Jaybie."After a pause, he pleaded with Sonnet, "How about letting the children know that I’m their father?""But if they ask why their dad didn't want them back then, what should we do?"Maxwell choked. ‘Yes, that’s difficult. When we slept together, we didn’t even know each other. How can I tell them that?’"Then, let's tell them much later," he replied dejectedly.This was also a problem for Sonnet. She would no longer be able to conceal everything as her belly grew.The kids would ask why she was pregnant and who the father of the child was. By then, how would she answer that?Not only would her pregnancy be questioned by her children but also by those around her. Her friends and colleagues were all aware that her husband ha
She turned around and walked forward. Then, Maxwell hurriedly called out to her. "Aren't you getting in the car?"Sonnet waved her hand. "No, I'm very sensitive to smells now. There’s a smell in your car I can’t stand. I'm afraid I'll throw up again when I get in the car!""Then I'll take a taxi with you." He followed Sonnet to the side of the road."No, I'll take the subway.""I'll take the subway with you!" Maxwell immediately offered.A few minutes later, the two got on the subway to Harbor City University. There were many people on the subway during rush hour. Maxwell protected Sonnet between his arms and used his body to prevent others from pushing her."Come stand here. This is a good corner!" He found a spot near the door for Sonnet, covered her with his arms, and avoided touching her.Sonnet felt warm inside as she watched Johnson fight so hard to protect her. ‘I must say, he’s such a great father.’Maxwell sent Sonnet to Harbor City University, watched her enter the ca
"Maybe it's a wrong delivery!" Sophia leaned over and looked at it. "No, it's not a mistake. Your name is clearly written! Could it be Lindy who bought it? Let’s ask her when she comes back.”As the two of them tried to solve the delivery mystery, Sonnet's cell phone rang. It was Johnson."Have you eaten the fruits?"Only then did Sonnet understand. "So you bought the fruits!""Yeah, I don't know what you’re craving right now, so I bought a variety. You can have them with the kids," Johnson replied on the phone.Sonnet wanted to laugh and cry. "You bought too much!""There's no harm in eating more fruits. I thought fresh fruits would be good since candied fruits are less ideal. You need more nutrients now. Just eat as you please. I'll get more if you finish them!""Please don't buy any more. Just these few boxes alone will last us for a while."Sonnet thought, ‘Johnson is extremely generous. He purchases an abundance of everything, including fruits. He even bought a bag full
The problems that Sophia pointed out candidly were all of Sonnet's troubles recently."But I don't love him, Aunt York,” she said bitterly."I know you still love Maxwell, but Maxwell is gone. I don't think he would want to see you stuck in the past of his memory and delay your own future." Sophia comforted.Sonnet rubbed her face. "Everything you said makes sense, but I can’t change my heart all at once...""If you really can't be with Johnson, I think you should at least tell the kids that Johnson is their biological father."Sonnet looked at Sophia. Sophia's face was very serious."How do I tell them? Do I tell them Mom and Dad didn’t even know each other when they slept together and that’s why their father hasn't shown up for so many years?" This was another one of Sonnet's worries.Sophia laughed. "They’re still children. How hard is it to convince them? Just say Dad and Mom separated, and there were many reasons that are hard for children to understand. When they grow up,
Previously, Mr. Yates gave her milk tea and had dinner with her once. She thought he was interested in her, but there was no follow-up contact.When she heard the gossip, her mood turned sour."If you ask me, Mr. Yates' girlfriend is probably not all that great. Otherwise, why didn't he flaunt her? Nobody has ever seen his girlfriend, according to what I've heard," she said angrily.Laurel shook her head. "Perhaps Mr. Yates doesn't have a girlfriend. The reason why he said he had one was to make Miss Rich & Stunning give up. I heard that woman is very good-looking, rich, and beautiful. Mr. Yates doesn't even want to fool around with her. He seems like an upright, proper gentleman."When she said this, Maggie immediately echoed, "That has to be the case. Mr. Yates is most likely still single and simply wanted to reject that woman. Look at Mr. Yates. He has a great deal of wealth. A man like him would be drawn to a person's inner beauty rather than her outward appearance. So what if
That was Mr. Yates' car. She memorized the license plate number since the first time she saw it.After class, she went to the bathroom and came out late. She never expected to see Sonnet getting into Mr. Yates' car.‘Does Sonnet know Mr. Yates? Why has she never said anything?’When they were gossiping about Mr. Yates, she acted like she was not familiar with Mr. Yates. In that case, why did she get into his car?Suddenly, she recalled the past.The first time Mr. Yates' car stopped at Harbor City University’s entrance, it was during lesson time. In hindsight, why was he so early for official matters? Clearly, he was there to send Sonnet to class.He had two cups of milk tea when he gave her one. It was obvious the milk tea was meant for Sonnet. Since Sonnet did not want it, he casually handed it to her."Could it be that so-called girlfriend is her?" she murmured as she gritted her teeth.To prove this, Maggie deliberately went a little earlier to Harbor City University for cl
