The next afternoon, Lindy brought Jaybie over to visit Sonnet. It was Lindy and Jaybie’s first time seeing Lil Three. Sophie cried out loud.“What’s the matter?” Sonnet asked. “Why do I feel like this baby girl resembles Maxwell?” Sonnet’s heart jumped. Had it not been her misconception? Did Lil Three resemble Maxwell? “Aunt Lindy, Uncle Maxwell has passed away. How can she look like him?” Jaybie questioned in a bright tone. “I don’t think she looks like Uncle Maxwell. She looks like Uncle Johnson instead! As expected, Jaybie was a good son that took his father’s side. Lindy glanced at Lil Three and nodded. “From this angle, she really looks like Johnson. By the way, Johnson and Maxwell look pretty similar.” Sonnet did not want to continue discussing the topic. She feigned a tone of anger and said, “What are you talking about? I gave birth to her. Is she not related to me? Why does she look like everyone else but me?” “Hehe,” Lindy touched her head and smiled. “O
After Johnson left, Sonnet texted Maxwell and told him to come over. Twenty minutes later, Maxwell arrived. Sonnet was breastfeeding Lil Three when he arrived. He walked in and sat by her side as he watched quietly. There was a loving gaze in his eyes as he stared at Lil Three. Sonnet looked at him and felt pretty upset. Although she loved him, he was still not the biological father of her children. “Let’s have a child together in the future,” she told Maxwell. Maxwell immediately waved his hands and said, “No, no. Having three children is already a handful. I don’t want you to go through the pain of childbirth anymore!” Her pain during delivery was still etched in his mind. Back then, he swore to himself that he would never allow her to suffer like this ever again! “But the children aren’t…” Sonnet bit her lip before she could finish her sentence. Maxwell smiled warmly at her and said, “It’s alright. To me, they’re all my children.” He was the biological father
Johnson accompanied Jaybie as he started receiving chemotherapy. Meanwhile, Sonnet stayed in the hospital for five more days before returning home for her confinement. Johnson hired a caretaker for Sonnet. When Sonnet brought Lil Three home, the caretaker had prepared a nutritious and scrumptious meal for her. The caretaker would be providing professional babysitting services as well. Sonnet did not grow up in a sheltered environment. She had raised Jaybie and Lune alone after giving birth to them. Now that she had a caretaker helping, she felt extremely comfortable while spending time in confinement! Johnson would send Sonnet videos from the chemotherapy ward every day. Although Jaybie had started receiving chemotherapy, he seemed in a very good mood. He was in high spirits as well. Sonnet stopped worrying about him. Lil Three was doted on by everyone in the family at home. Everyone wanted to spend time with her, especially Lune. She would spend a few hours in front of Lil T
Jaybie raised his head and moved to Sonnet. He wiped the tears off her face gently and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll show Lil Three a lot of love. I’ll be a good elder brother to her when she grows up. I’ll look after her for the rest of my life!” “I’ll be a good elder sister as well. We’ll both give Lil Three lots of love!” Lune said happily. Sonnet took both children into her arms. Everyone in the apartment smiled warmly while watching them. Everyone had lunch happily. During lunch, Sophia kept filling Johnson’s plate with food. Lindy was slightly displeased by the sight of this. “Mom, why do you keep filling Johnson’s plate with food? You’re making it seem like he’s your son!” Sophia glanced at Lindy and said, “Of course, I must reward him well. Jaybie recovered so well because of how meticulously Johnson took care of him this past month!” Lindy scratched her head and said, “That’s true!” She then placed a chicken wing on Johnson’s plate. Sonnet looked at Johnson.
“Has Max been doing well lately?” Lovey asked again. Sonnet was about to reply when someone shouted, “Lovey!” She turned and saw a man walking towards her with large strides. She did not recognize him at first sight. She finally managed to tell that he was Scout Cattle when he met her gaze and stared at her!He looked very different compared to when he tried scamming her previously. It looked like he had styled his hair nicely. He was wearing modern clothes, and his face was smooth and clean. He looked like a different person. Sonnet knew that Scout and Lovey had taken 73 thousand dollars from Maxwell. She thought to herself, “As expected, they know how to dress up after earning some money.” On the other hand, Lovey was stunned when she saw her brother.Scout walked over and glared at Sonnet harshly. He asked Lovey, “What are you doing?” “We rarely bump into each other. I’d like to chat with Sonnet,” Lovey said. “Sonnet? Remember that I’m your only brother in the w
“Are you working now?” Lovey asked curiously. She thought about it. She felt that it was unlikely that he would be able to pay off his debts with his salary alone.“How much can I earn at work? Let me tell you this. I sold some information,” Scout told her in a secretive tone. “What kind of information?” “I can’t tell you about it. Anyways, I earned this sum of money through legal means. Therefore, you should stop nagging me. Do you plan to eat?” It seemed like Scout was not willing to tell her much about it. Lovey stopped asking questions. She was worried that her brother would set his aim on her money if she asked more. ——When Lil Three was forty-two days old, Jaybie was discharged from hospital. That night, Sonnet and her family went out to enjoy dinner together. Johnson treated everyone to the meal. Marcus came along as well. Sonnet carried Lil Three and looked at all the people in the room. Suddenly, she realized that Johnson was the center of everyone’s attention.
The next day, Sonnet woke up and dolled herself up in a good mood. On seeing her, Lindy laughed and asked, “What are you up to? Are you going on a date?” Sonnet could not help but blush when Lindy saw right through her. To hide things from Lindy, she waved her hands exaggeratedly and said, “What are you talking about?! I’m busy breastfeeding Lil Three all the time. How can I go on a date with anyone?” “You were putting on makeup. Women love dressing up before meeting people they like, so I thought you were going on a date. However, Johnson seems to be busy with work today. When will you be meeting him?” Lindy asked with a cheeky grin on her face. Sonnet smacked her and said, “I’m not going on a date with him! Quit all the nonsense! I just applied some light makeup because I was in a good mood! What’s the matter? Can’t a woman apply makeup even though she isn’t going out to meet a man?” Just then, Jaybie came out of his room. After hearing what Sonnet said, he could not help
Maxwell furrowed his brows. From what he knew, Scout had acquired more gambling debts three months ago. How did he get his hands on all this money all of a sudden? Did he ask Lovey for money? If he had asked Lovey for all her money, he would not treat her to a meal in a posh restaurant! It looks like he has to look into this as well.Both hugged each other for almost an hour. Sonnet then left Maxwell unwillingly. On the way home, she came up with an excuse for why she had spent an hour buying stinky tofu. After all, the journey to the shop that sold stinky tofu was only twenty minutes by bicycle. After some consideration, she thought it would be better to say she had walked there. However, as soon as she arrived home, Jaybie took the stinky tofu from her and started eating. He did not ask why she got home so late. Instead, Lindy asked, “Why did it take you so long to buy some stinky tofu?” “Oh, I’ve been stuck at home for the past month. I rarely get the chance to go out
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
