"I didn't look for her on purpose, I just met her by coincidence. However, I accidentally overheard her secret about the child in her belly. She had betrayed you. I’m so angry and can't help confronting her, so she scratched me with her nails."Lovey paused, waiting for Maxwell to ask what was going on."There must be a misunderstanding. I believe my wife. She is not violent to others for no reason." Maxwell defended Sonnet instead.Sonnet was such a kind woman. She would only defend herself if someone hurt her first.Lovey's heart twitched. Max defended his wife without even asking what was going on!"Of course, she did it for a reason! I exposed her secret, and she did it out of shame!" Lovey became emotional.Maxwell frowned. "Secret? What secret?"Lovey immediately took out her phone and played the video. "Max, watch it for yourself!"There was a voice in the video. Maxwell looked down and recognized that the man in the video was himself disguised as Johnson.He held flowe
She began to wipe her tears as she spoke, wondering how Maxwell would comfort her, but instead, it was something she never wanted to hear. "Lovey, it's not good to lie!" Maxwell’s tone was cold.She felt victimized. "Max, I have suffered so much for you, and you accused me of lying?""After the video was shot that day, Sonnet did not get anyone to come after you. She didn't look for you either today." Maxwell said slowly.Maxwell was the man in the video. He and Sonnet never found out that Lovey made the video, so how could Sonnet go after Lovey?Lovey turned red. She could not figure out how Max could see right through her lies. ‘Could it be that woman had preempted Max?’Thinking of this, she panicked. ‘If that woman got ahead of me, I wonder how badly she would speak of me to Max!’"Max, don't listen to her nonsense. She cheated on you and betrayed you. Her words can't be trusted at all!" She waved her hands and said."She didn't say anything bad about you to me." Maxwell l
"I believe your original intention was in my best interest, but don't do this next time."Lovey hurriedly nodded obediently.Maxwell took the menu and handed it to Lovey. "Here, check and see what you like to eat."Lovey looked at his gentle eyes, and thought to herself, ‘He must’ve forgiven me, otherwise, why would he have dinner with me?’She delightfully ordered a few dishes.After she placed her order, Maxwell called the waiter. "Excuse me, may I have the check please?"Lovey was about to politely say that she would pick up the tab this time, when Maxwell stood up and said, "Take your time, Lovey. If you can't finish the food, pack it up and take it home. I can’t stay for dinner; I have important work to do so I’ll be going now.""Max, what is the important work that you don't even have time for a meal?" Lovey asked impatiently.Maxwell smiled slightly. "It’s the year-end deadline. Enjoy your meal, okay?" Then, without waiting for Lovey to say more, he got up and left.L
Once she entered the house, Maxwell pulled her into a tight hug.Gently pushing him away, she smiled. "Why did you return at noon and look for me anxiously?""I miss you!" Maxwell put his head in her arms, nuzzling against her.Sonnet smiled and pushed his head away. Then, she took a bun from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth.Maxwell took advantage of the opportunity to eat. He chewed happily and tried to talk with his mouth full. "Wifey, did you make these? These are delicious, my wife made the best buns ever!" Sonnet laughed as she prodded him. "I see that you’ve progressed mentally, and the biggest change is that your mouth is sweeter!""What I said is true! These are really delicious! Everything my wife cooks is delicious!" Maxwell said it with his chest, stuffing the remaining buns into his mouth."Eat slowly." Sonnet took a bite of the bun as well when she saw him eating with gusto. "Why did you call me over so urgently? I don't believe it’s only because you miss m
Sonnet chuckled out loud. "I think this oath is useless against you."Maxwell was at a loss for words, wide-eyed and speechless."Then how are you going to trust me, darling?" He almost jumped.Who would have imagined that a business tycoon who is all-powerful in the industry would be so timid in front of his wife?Sonnet laughed and tapped his nose lightly. "I'm just pulling your leg. Do you think I'm so ignorant?"Maxwell breathed a sigh of relief. He felt his legs go weak and almost fell. He had never been so nervous and scared before!Sonnet stretched out her hand to support him: "What? Are you fainting from fright?""No, wifey, don't scare me like that again!" Maxwell smiled innocently. He even exaggeratedly rubbed his chest.Sonnet caressed his face and said softly, "Don't worry. Although Lovey came to me, I wasn’t affected by her at all. I know you would never divorce me. I have made it clear to you about the baby as early as when we first reunited. If you can't accept i
Maxwell insisted on driving Sonnet to Vespa's residence, and the two of them got into the car.On the fifth floor of the neighboring unit, Jaybie stood on the balcony and let out a soft exclamation."Brother, what are you looking at?" Lune came bouncing over with a little parrot resting on her shoulder."Did Uncle Johnson come home? I think I saw Mom and Uncle Johnson go out, but the car he drove wasn’t his car." Jaybie looked at the back of the car going away."Were you mistaken? Uncle Johnson has been busy with work these days, so he doesn't have time to play with us. How could he come back at noon? Besides, if he came to see Mom, why wouldn't he come to say hello to us?" Lune broke off a piece from the bun and fed it to the parrot on her shoulder.The parrot immediately stretched out its head to eat, and Jaybie frowned. "No, you can’t simply feed it!"Lune stuck her tongue at him. "It's okay to eat these kinds of things once in a while."Jaybie looked back into the distance,
"Where are you?" she asked curiously."Oh… I'm with Mr. Seabrook. He took his grandson to the children's playground, and I'm accompanying him," Maxwell lied quickly.Sonnet did not suspect anything. "Oh, I brought some ingredients for New Year's Eve dinner. I wanted to leave them in your kitchen so I can find some time to cook for you tomorrow!""Oh, it’s okay, darling. Mr. Seabrook has already invited me to celebrate New Year's Eve with him. I probably won't be home tomorrow."Sonnet thought, ‘Oh that’s good. At least, he won’t be alone and pitiful.’ Then, she went home with the ingredients.As soon as she went downstairs and walked to her unit entrance, she saw a man waiting outside the door with his neck stretched out.Sonnet went to swipe her card to open the door, but the man stopped in front of her.Sonnet was startled and quickly took two steps back, looking at him vigilantly. "What are you doing?"The man smiled. "Miss Turner, don't be afraid. I’m Lovey's elder brother,
Sonnet's expression was heavy. "I'm sorry, I don't have 200,000.”"Why, do you not care about your reputation? And this may affect your lover's career!" Scout said proudly.He was sure that Sonnet would agree. Was this not what adulterers were most afraid of?"So what if I care? I don't have money," Sonnet said, bypassing him to open the unit door.Scout quickly blocked the unit door to prevent her from entering. "Don't treat me like a fool just because I come from the village! How could you have no money? Your husband and your lover are both supporting you. Why would you have no money?""It’s your choice if you believe it or not. Please step aside," Sonnet said coldly.Sonnet's attitude seemed very firm. Scout gritted his teeth. "Alright, I’ll give you a discount. 150,000!"Sonnet sneered. “I can't afford it either.""Then I'll put the video online!""Sure. I'll just be mentally prepared."She did not want him to put the video on the internet, but it was impossible to compro
