Maxwell was so helpless that he was lost for words. He just held Lune in his arms and gently stroked her back.Jaybie frowned and said, "Lune, would you be willing if I ask you to live with Aunt Lindy and Uncle Marcus?"Lune wiped her tears away and looked back at her brother. "Ew, of course not! Aunt Lindy and Uncle Marcus are always so affectionate and touchy-feely. I don't want to be a giant third wheel!""Exactly. If Uncle Johnson lives with us, when we play with our parents, he would feel the same as you. You kept insisting Uncle Johnson come live with us. Have you considered how sad Uncle Johnson would be?"When Jaybie said this, Maxwell immediately gave him a silent look of approval.Lune was startled for a while and muttered, "True that...""If you like Uncle Johnson, you can't make him sad, can you?"Lune turned to look at Maxwell, and Maxwell immediately showed her a helpless and pitiful expression. "Yes, Lune, I like you both so much. I would be so jealous if I see yo
"Uncle Johnson doesn't want to live with us!" Lune replied with a pout.‘That’s for sure.’Sonnet thought, but she spoke words of comfort. "Then we must respect Uncle Johnson's decision. If you want to play with Uncle Johnson in the future, you can go to him. Mom won’t stop you.""Yeah, that's what I told Uncle Johnson so he won’t look so sad anymore," Lune replied, stroking the kitten in her arms.The kitten gently scratched Lune's sleeve with its paws playfully. Lune looked at it and could not help laughing. "Mom, you know what’s cool? This kitten is very close to Uncle Johnson!""The kitty cat is close to anyone," Sonnet said casually.However, Lune shook her head solemnly. "That's not true. Kitty cat just came here today, so it's not very close to you! If you don't believe me, try touching it!""How is it possible?" Sonnet said with a smile, reaching out to touch the little white kitten.The kitten shrank back subconsciously, looking a little afraid of Sonnet's touch."I t
"I want to keep this scrunchie and return it to Uncle Johnson tomorrow," Lune said, putting the hair tie aside solemnly.Only then did Sonnet stop her thoughts and washed Lune's hair.When Lune came out of the shower, Maxwell also returned home.He took over the work in Sonnet's hands and helped Lune wipe and dry her hair.Sonnet looked at the father and daughter connecting harmoniously. She smiled slightly and went into the house to check on Lil Three.That night, Sonnet had a dream. In the dream, she and Johnson were having sex. She suddenly woke up with a cold sweat.Her movement was so loud that it woke Maxwell up. He put his arms around her and asked, "What's wrong?"Sonnet stared at Maxwell for a while before she came to her senses. "Oh...nothing, it's just a dream.""A nightmare? Did you dream about monsters?" Maxwell teased her.Sonnet did not answer. How could she tell him about her weird dream?Maxwell did not ask any further questions. He hugged her tightly in his
"It's been a while since I've seen Shay. I want to see him, but he's in school and I don't have time to go to school. I just want to bring him something to eat," Sonnet replied with a smile."The adzuki cake you made is Shay’s favourite. He would be so happy to see it." May accepted it with a smile.Sonnet chatted with May for a bit and asked about Shay recently. She was relieved when she learned that Shay was doing well, and said goodbye after a while.She went to the Lux Club security department to take a look before she left.Head of Lux Club’s security force, Lionel Nero was sitting inside, He was stunned to see Sonnet and stood up enthusiastically. "Oh, Miss Turner, why are you here?"Sonnet smiled at him. "I'm here to deliver cakes to Shay."Then, she placed a small box of cakes in front of Lionel. "Well, I wanted to give you some as well. Last year, asked you for help and you were criticized by your superiors. I'm sorry... "Sonnet already felt a little embarrassed over
Sonnet did not know how she got back. Her heart was a mess.She felt sad and indignant, thinking that she had spent a night with Johnson. Johnson actually took advantage of her when she was drunk and confused! Afterward, he kept it from her, erased all traces, and pretended nothing happened!‘How can I be so stupid? I always thought it was a dream, and it was Maxwell that did it with me in that dream!‘Maybe, Lil Three was conceived that night!’The thought of this possibility felt like a stab to Sonnet’s heart!She was so confident when she told Maxwell before that Lil Three was conceived through artificial insemination and that she had never gotten involved with Johnson. Now...‘How would I face Maxwell? What would he think if he knew?’The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Her heartbreak was at its peak.When she got home, Sophia came out to greet her. "You are back! Hurry up, Lil Three kept crying and I can't coax her well. I made milk powder for her, but sh
"Yeah, the company needed me to go on a business trip. If you didn't call me, I was going to call and tell you. I'll be back after two or three days, please let the kids know." Maxwell smiled and asked, "What did you want to say just now?""Oh, it's nothing serious. Let’s talk about it when you come back."‘How can such a thing be discussed over the phone? I’ll wait for him to come back.’Sophia stroked her shoulder after she hung up. "Sonnie, you don't have to be too upset. Johnson is certainly a bit of a jerk, but even if you slept with him, you are not at fault."Sonnet looked up at Sophia.Sophia continued. "At that time, you didn't know that Maxwell was still alive. Knowing that Maxwell had already passed, you have the right to be with anyone. Besides, you were drunk that night, and even if something happened between you and Johnson, Maxwell was on your mind. You didn't know what happened afterward, so that’s not concealing it from him.""I'm afraid that even though he acc
"Last night, you cried while clinging onto him, insisting that he must live with us. Don’t you think that’s enough to scare him? How would Uncle Johnson dare to tell you he is going away for a business trip? He can only discreetly tell me to inform you today. "Hearing what Jaybie said, Sonnet felt relieved from Jaybie’s statement.It was purely a coincidence that Maxwell left abruptly for some urgent matters today.The next morning, Lindy called after Sonnet had fed Lil Three. "Sonnet, I went to Westfield Hospital to follow a celebrity today. The celebrity’s father was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage, but I saw someone unexpected.""Who did you see?" Sonnet asked. Since Lindy called her, that person must have something to do with her.A thought crossed her mind, and she became a little nervous. "Did something happen to Lucas?"Sonnet heard that he is filming a costume drama recently that involved aerial stunt work that seemed dangerous."No, not him! Touch wood! Lucas i
"How is that acceptable? You are the Second Young Miss, how can I—" Gerome panicked."It's okay. I’m from the countryside too, so this is not a big deal. Besides, Mrs. Wilson was like a mother to me. She took great care of Maxwell and I back in the Brooks household. I should help her clean up." Sonnet interrupted Gerome and took the basin from him.Gerome stammered: "Then...then thank you for your troubles, Second Young Miss...I...I'll go out and wait outside the door. Call me when you’re done, Second Young Miss.”"Okay," Sonnet replied with a smile.She took the basin into the bathroom and filled it with hot water. Lindy helped to undress Mrs. Wilson and Sonnet gently wiped down Mrs. Wilson with hot water.When Sonnet wiped under Mrs. Wilson’s chest area, a faint purple mark caught her attention. She could not help but lower her head to observe."What is this?" Lindy asked curiously when she noticed Sonnet's movements."Why does this look like a ligature mark?" Sonnet frowned a
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
