The next morning, Sonnet and Lindy left the house to fetch Lune to kindergarten. They ran into Johnson downstairs. “Mr. Yates, you seemed busy with work, so I don’t want to give you any trouble. Moving forward, I’ll fetch Sonnet to her classes in the morning instead,” Lindy spoke up first. “I still have time to fetch Sonnet to work. Aren’t you busy with work as well? I don’t want to trouble you,” Johnson said. Lindy glanced at Sonnet. She held Lune’s hand and said, “Come on, let me compete with you. Let’s see who’ll run faster and arrive at the kindergarten first, alright?” Lune was immediately attracted by Lindy’s suggestion. “Sure, I’ll definitely run faster than you.” Both of them ran off quickly. Sonnet and Johnson were left standing there. Johnson said in a slightly worried tone, “Didn’t we agree to maintain our prior relationship? Why won’t you let me drive you to the university?”As Maxwell, he could not be with his wife often. Therefore, he had to accompany her mor
When Sonnet showered Jaybie at night, Jaybie asked her, “Mom, does a man’s mustache grow quickly?” Sonnet laughed and said, “You’re asking me the wrong person. You should ask your grandfather or Uncle Johnson instead.” After a momentary pause, she asked curiously, “Why are you asking me such a question all of a sudden?” “It looks like Uncle Johnson’s mustache grew longer again.” Jaybie and Lune had headed over to Johnson’s place to play for a while at night. “Huh?” Sonnet stopped showering him. “Don’t make things up. How can one’s mustache grow so quickly?”Although she did not have a mustache, she had basic common sense. She knew that it was impossible for one’s mustache to grow that much within a day. “I find it odd as well. However, Uncle Johnson’s mustache has really grown longer.” “You’re really observant,” Sonnet said casually.She did not think much about it. She guessed that Jaybie had assumed wrongly. However, she could not help but feel shocked after seeing Johnso
Maxwell finally put away his phone and continued working after Sonnet stopped replying to him. However, he realized that Gemma had stopped reporting to everyone. “Why did you stop again?” He asked with a frown across his face. “Mr. Yates, I’ve finished my report,” Gemma replied anxiously. She had finished her report a minute ago. Johnson had disregarded her all along! “Oh, I see. Who’s next?” Maxwell said calmly.Everyone in the room stared at each other.After a while, the employee taking down the meeting minutes reminded him softly, “There’s no one else. Everyone has finished reporting on their work statuses, Mr. Yates.” Maxwell coughed twice. He had been overly immersed in the text from his wife that he had forgotten that Gemma would be the last one to speak in the meeting! “Oh, alright. Let me say something then…” He recomposed himself and started getting to work again. When class was almost over, Sonnet received a text from Maxwell. The text read: [Let’s have lunch
Sonnet quickly walked to the entrance of the university and looked around her. She received a text on her phone. She took out her phone to take a look at once. Maxwell had texted her. The text read: [Look to your left. I’m inside the silver car.] She turned around to look to her left. There was an unassuming silver-colored car parked beneath a tree in the distance. The car did not have any lights turned on. She immediately walked over with large strides. She was about to open the door of the passenger seat when someone inside the car opened the door first. She bent down and saw a radiant smile on Maxwell’s face. “There’s no rush. I’ll wait for you. You’re pregnant now. You must look after yourself,” he told Sonnet. Sonnet smiled radiantly at him and said, “I just wanted to see you as soon as possible!” Maxwell’s heart almost melted after hearing her soft words.While interacting with Sonnet as Johnson over such a long time, Sonnet had never spoken to him in such a tone be
Maxwell pressed down on the accelerator. He drove towards the hotel that Lovey stayed in. He had just sent Lovey to school today morning. He had yet to check out from the hotel so he could borrow the space right now. They soon arrived at the car park of the hotel. After parking the car, Maxwell planned to order some takeout from the restaurant next to them. However, Sonnet called after him and took out a mask from her handbag. “It’s cold outside. Nobody will suspect you if you put on a mask. That way, you can minimize your exposure in public,” she said, putting on the mask for him. “Wait for me in the hotel,” Maxwell smiled at her and walked towards the restaurant in quick strides. Sonnet stood at the entrance of the hotel and waited for Maxwell. A while later, he arrived. “I’ve ordered some dishes and asked them to send them to us later. Let’s go upstairs.” He walked over to Sonnet’s side and wrapped his arm around her waist naturally.The receptionist was the same pe
Sonnet was rarely late to work, but she arrived at the special education school ten minutes late that evening. She could not bear to leave Maxwell’s side. Miss Jean look at her and chuckled, “You rarely arrive late to work. Even if you arrive ten minutes late occasionally, no one will say anything about it. We’ve been colleagues for such a long time. Look at you. You’re pregnant. Your face is red from all the running!” Sonnet touched her face. She felt slightly embarrassed. She could not tell her that her face was not red from running. It was flushed red due to what she had done with Maxwell just now… Miss Lora, who was standing next to them, inched over and joined their conversation. “Her face is flushed red, but she looks really pretty. She looks just like a teenage girl feeling shy after seeing the boy she’s in love with!” Miss Lora liked reading romance novels. Therefore, she often used such similes while talking to them. Usually, Sonnet would simply laugh it off. Howeve
Juliette said something to Mindy again. Mindy then handed the phone back to Sonnet. 又 “I’ve told Mindy that I’ll be back in a couple of days. I asked her to be obedient. Look at her now. Is she fine now?” Sonnet walked over to Mindy while speaking with her on the phone. Mindy was wiping her tears obediently. “Have you not recovered yet?” Sonnet asked her in a concerned tone. Juliette remained silent for a while. While she was silent, Sonnet heard a musical tune ringing from the other end of the call. “I’m pretty much alright now. I’ll return to work soon. I’m busy right now. I’ll hang up first,” Juliette said in a frantic tone. She then hung up before Sonnet could say anything. Sonnet held her phone in a daze. Why did the tune that she had overheard from the other end of the call just now sound so familiar? She tilted her head and thought about it for some time. A hint of realization flashed across her mind. That was the sound of the automatic tune that rang out whene
On returning home, Sonnet immediately called the landlord and enquired about the rental fees. The fees were much cheaper than she expected. She thought about it for a while. She could afford the fees. Therefore, she made an inspection appointment with a landlord. “Can I go for an inspection at night? I’m busy with work, so I’ll only have time to head over at night.” “You might only be able to inspect the unit around nine o’clock at night,” the landlord said apologetically. Sonnet replied happily, “Sure, I can make it then!” After dinner, Sonnet went downstairs under the excuse that she would be going to a supermarket outside the residential area to buy some daily necessities. She walked over to Building 4, which was next to her apartment building. After waiting for around five minutes, the landlord arrived. Sonnet looked at the unit. The structure of the unit was pretty similar to her and Lindy’s unit. The unit was clean and had a simple interior design. It came with basi
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
