When Martha turned, Ingrid immediately put on a smile."Thank you, Martha, for taking care of Hansel. I'm tired, so I'll go to bed now," she said before casually turning and leaving the kitchen.Martha was left puzzled. "What's going on?" she thought.Ingrid used to compete for the chance to bring h
"Answer me, were you or were you not?" Hansel demanded.Ingrid shook her head. "No… I didn't… Hans, you're hurting me…"Hansel tugged on her nightgown with a contemptuous smile. "Then explain this. If you hadn't done it before, why would you do it now?"Hansel remembered feeling off when they first
Ingrid was stunned. "You… you're not…""What? Disappointed?" Hansel sneered.As soon as Hansel felt something was off with his body, he rushed into the bathroom to induce vomiting. The heat he felt was merely a lingering effect of the drug."If you weren't affected, then why did you pretend earlier?
Martha answered, "Yes, Mr. Johnson." Suddenly, Ingrid's face turned pale. She clutched her stomach and said, "Ouch… My stomach hurts so much…"However, Hansel remained expressionless. Since he didn't move, Martha didn't dare to move either. At that moment, Ingrid had already slid to the floor in p
Evelyn didn't expect Ingrid to turn the tables on her. "You're the one who caused all this to happen, so how is this my fault? Try saying that again, and I'll tear your mouth apart!" "Go ahead! If you don't beat me to death today, you lose!" Ingrid shouted."Martha…" Evelyn trembled with anger. "Ca
Evelyn said, "For our family, we only have you and Hansel as grandchildren. How can we compare to your uncles? We'll definitely be at a disadvantage if the inheritance is distributed according to the number of people within the family. "If you or your brother had a child, he or she would also be co
Evelyn sputtered, "What?" "If you're not pregnant, why are you drinking the chicken soup? It doesn't seem right to compete with a pregnant woman for food, right?" Ingrid asked. "There's a whole pot of soup. Do you think you can finish it all by yourself?" Evelyn thought Ingrid must not be in her r
Evelyn's head throbbed with frustration as she watched Ingrid reject the soup she had boiled for the entire morning. "That's lentil soup, and I added some beans. It's good for the baby." "It might be good for the baby, but not for the pregnant mother, right? Can't you see the thick layer of oil flo
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
