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
Right at this moment, college students from Harbor City's Main Campus entered the classroom.Sonnet picked up the umbrella she borrowed yesterday. "I gotta go. I need to return this umbrella." Then, she walked away quickly.She walked up to the girl whom she borrowed the umbrella from. She handed it over and thanked her. The girl took the umbrella with a smile, took out a savory bun from the plastic bag in her hand, and ate it.The strong smell of sausage hit Sonnet’s nostrils. Previously, Sonnet would probably crave one too. Now, due to her sensitivity to smells, she felt nausea all of a sudden.She covered her mouth and ran out of the classroom.Her reaction was so abrupt that it startled the girl.The girl asked the classmate next to her in a daze, “Does my food smell weird?"The classmate next to her shook her head. "No, it smells great."The interaction caught the attention of Maggie and the others."What’s wrong with Sonnet?" Vespa asked.Laurel replied, "She seems to
Jade slightly leaned toward Maggie. "In my opinion, Vice President Yates doesn’t have a girlfriend."Joy welled up in Maggie's heart. "Really?""I don't know if he’s after anybody, but at least there is no confirmed relationship. I only found out when I overheard Mr. Strombold talking to Mr. Yates that day.""Oh? What did Mr. Strombold and Mr. Yates say? I'm so curious!""Many female teachers sneaked out to quietly observe the scene on the day Miss Rich & Stunning arrived. Mr. Yates later visited Mr. Strombold's office. When I brought in the coffee, I overheard Mr. Strombold ask, 'How can you simply declare that you have a girlfriend?' What exactly does this sentence mean? Mr. Yates, in my opinion, does not have a girlfriend. Otherwise, why would he use the words 'simply declare'?"With that said, Jade winked at Maggie. "If you have any ideas, I’ll give you some information later. Maybe it’ll be helpful to you!"Maggie quickly waved her hands and smiled. "What ideas can I have? I
