"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
Hayden's heart dropped. ‘Did she find out? So, she came to trick me?‘No, I must tread carefully. I must not let her know that Maxwell played two roles, otherwise Maxwell would tear me apart!’He forced a smile. "Ahem. He’s okay, I guess. Didn’t I first meet him at your house?"Sonnet nodded. She knew this too. This was when Johnson took Hayden's DNA for identification, and they seemed to have met for the first time."Then did you often stay in touch?" she asked.Hayden immediately denied it. "No! I only met him a few times at business events later on, and never in private!"He must make a clear statement, or things will get messy.Sonnet nodded and stopped talking.Hayden looked at her cautiously. "Why...why did you ask?"Sonnet smiled at him. "Oh, nothing. Just a thought."At this time, a doctor came to speak to Hayden. So, Sonnet bid goodbye and left.On the way back, Sonnet looked out the car window in deep thought.‘From Hayden's demeanor, he seemed to not know Johnson
Hayden was taken aback and fell silent. He asked in surprise, "Who?""Sonnet.""She really went to you?""She just left.""What did she ask you?""She asked if I knew Johnson very well.""How did you answer?""I was swift as lightning. I immediately pretended that I didn't know him at all. She left without any doubt." Logan said proudly.Hayden seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness. Maxwell would kick up an unreasonable fuss again if you let anything out of the bag.""Why do you think she came to ask me about Johnson?""I guess she's starting to doubt the relationship between Johnson and Maxwell. We just have to seal our lips tighter. Even if the secret is revealed, we can't be the ones to reveal it. You should know Maxwell's temper. Only he can make a blunder, but he’ll burn the house down if we do!""I'm fine here, but I think Marcus is the weak link. He and Sonnet's best friend are now stuck together like glue. You should remind him in case he may have le
Maxwell's heart skipped a beat, ‘Why did this scrunchie…’"Oh, uh, I don't really remember..." He laughed, intending to get away with it.Sonnet said coldly. "Let me remind you if you don't remember. Lune found this scrunchie in your bathroom. Her hair tie suddenly broke that day, and she saw one in your bathroom drawer. She used it to tie her hair.""Ah, yes. I don't even remember that I have hair ties at home."Maxwell tapped his forehead and pretended to be confused. However, he secretly regretted that he should have put this scrunchie away!He kept it under his pillow at first, like a precious treasure. Later, when he could openly rendezvous with Sonnet as Maxwell, he was no longer as desperate because he could spend so much time with his wife. As a result, he did not particularly cherish that scrunchie.In addition, Jaybie and Lune often came to his house to play. He was afraid that they might misunderstand when they saw a woman's scrunchie under his pillow. So, he kept the
