Old Madam Hill chuckled and nodded. “That’s great. The Hill family is not as good as it used to be, but you’ve all become sensible.”Soon, they brought the two children downstairs.Old Master Hill, who had been feeling low lately, was also overjoyed when he learned the truth.Lucas looked at the family members and seemed to understand why Suzie liked it here.Although he hated his scummy dad, everyone here was kind and friendly.Moreover, they were his grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-grandfather. They were not outsiders, so there was no need to be cautious.............After breakfast, Shaun took Lucas and Suzie to the kindergarten.He also changed their parents’ contact information to Catherine and his names.The kindergarten teacher was surprised. “So it turns out they were twins. It’s no wonder they usually play so well.”“Yes, in the future, the teacher can contact their mom or me anytime.” Shaun was in a good mood, and a charming smile hung on his handsome and
“Get out. Who told you to seduce me?” Wesley pushed Regina away fiercely.Regina saw his ferocious expression and fled in fear with tears in her eyes.Ethan was stunned and his brain rumbled. When the door closed, he suddenly snapped out of it and a surge of anger rose. He stormed up to Wesley and punched him. “You b*stard.”Wesley did not dodge it. After he was beaten, he wiped his mouth and sneered. “Yes, I’m a b*stard.”Ethan was furious. “Uncle, how could you do this to Cathy? You’ve just gotten married. Is this all how much your deep affection amount to? You’re disgusting.”Ethan loved Catherine. Although it was impossible for him to be with her anymore, he still wished that she could live a happy life. He also believed that Wesley would be able to give it to her, but he never expected Wesley to sleep with his secretary.He grieved deeply for Catherine.She was such a good person. Why did she meet all the scumbags time and time again?“Do you think I wanted this?” Wesley r
Ethan came out from the president’s office.His heart was still furious, heavy, and conflicted.On one side was his uncle, and on the other side was his beloved childhood sweetheart.What should he do?Finally, he turned around and went to the secretarial department. He bumped into Regina just as he was about to enter.She bowed her head quickly when she saw him, showing a face of panic and bewilderment.“Let me ask you. How long have you been with my uncle?” Ethan’s handsome face stared at her coldly.“Manager Lowe, don’t ask me that. I’ve always had unrequited feelings for President Lyons. It was me who seduced him,” Regina suddenly pretended to be in sorrow. “Just now, President Lyons called me and told me to go over. I guess he wants me to leave.”“It’s shameless to seduce a married man. You’re despicable,” Ethan denounced her.Regina bowed her head and bit her lips silently, but pretended to choke her words, “I’m sorry, Manager Lowe. I won’t do it again.”“Get out of my
Ethan spurted blood as his eyes widened.He knew that this was not a coincidence.Wesley Lyons… was despicable...If he could use such a vicious tactic on Ethan, then… What about Cathy...His body was stuck. He could not move but he struggled to reach for his phone close to him. He found Catherine’s number and typed: [Be careful…]However, before he could finish typing, the hood of the car caught fire suddenly.He could not escape at all, and could only throw his phone out of the window.Tears mixed with blood slid down his face.He regretted it. If only he could start all over again.That year, he would never be with Rebecca.He only wanted to stay with Catherine...Unfortunately… unfortunately…fate was not on his side.............In the officeCatherine was drinking water when her hand shook suddenly. She lost grip on her cup and it shattered on the ground.She rubbed her brows. For some reason, her heart felt uneasy.She could not help but call the kindergarten, bu
“My Ethan was so handsome, but when he died, he was charred to dust.”Catherine was completely bewildered.How did a perfectly healthy person disappear suddenly?Although she did not love Ethan anymore, he was her favorite when she was young and naive. She had both adored and hated him before.Although they were both married, she still cared for him.When she heard the news of his death, everything before her eyes was in a blur.When the security guards’ hold on Sonya loosened, she grabbed the knife on the floor and attempted another stab at Catherine.“Watch out, Cathy!” A tall figure dashed into the scene and grabbed Cathy aside.Sonya saw the one who saved Catherine was Shaun and she screamed, “Catherine Jones, you b*tch. You married Wesley but you still seduced my Ethan and your ex-husband. You sl*t, you’re shameless. You’ll never die a natural death.”Shaun’s charming eyes were cold and he walked over to Sonya. He snatched the knife from Sonya’s hand swiftly and pushed he
“But I shouldn’t have met Ethan. Considering that I’ve been through a lot with him, I should’ve… kept a distance from him.” Catherine’s face was streaked with tears. “What’s more, he called me this morning and didn’t show up later, yet I forgot about it. I should’ve asked him…”Shaun lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on her face. “Even if you had asked him, you wouldn’t have been able to change anything. Something had already happened to him then. Moreover… At this point, I think you don’t quite know why he was met with an accident yet. You should wait for the results of the investigation. Are you planning to pay your last respects to him? Let me send you to the funeral parlor.”“... Okay.”With his gentle words of consolation, Catherine slowly regained her composure. Indeed, she had to at least find out the cause of Ethan’s accident.“I’ll send you there.”Shaun carried her to the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for her.Along the journey, Catherine ga
Ethan’s father gave the order.The next day, the cremation ceremony was held for Ethan.Catherine saw him for the last time. It was very startling, but she was not petrified. She felt nothing but grief. The one whom she had been calling ‘Brother Ethan’ since she was young had left just like that.Why was a human’s life so fragile?After Ethan was cremated, Catherine did not go to the office for three consecutive days. She was like a tortoise that was hiding in her shell, not going anywhere.On the fourth day, she suddenly received a strange call. “Is this Aunty Cath? I’m Tracy.”“Miss Steele…” Catherine was at a loss. She thought Tracy was going to cause her trouble.“I’d like to meet you. Please don’t tell anyone about it,” Tracy said under her breath.Stunned, Catherine became instinctively alert. However, as soon as she heard Tracy mentioning that they would meet downtown, she banished her doubts.Soon, she drove to the cafe and entered the private room.Tracy was sitting
Watch out…Watch out for who?Ethan had typed out a person whose name started with ‘Lyo’This meant that the person’s name had these three letters.Lyo.A thought struck Catherine’s mind.Had Ethan tried to type out ‘Wesley Lyons’?Her face paled.Upon noticing her expression, Tracy said, “It looks like you’ve guessed it.” “No. This is impossible.” Cathrine shook her head.How could Ethan have wanted to remind her to watch out for Wesley in his final moments?Tracy said, “Since Ethan typed out ‘Lyo’, it means that you have to be careful of people whose names start with this. In his last moments, he could’ve wanted to type Uncle Wesley. So now you know why I had to delete the draft.”Catherine understood. She gazed at Tracy admiringly and with complicated feelings at the same time.For the first time, Catherine found this woman intelligent and cool. Perhaps Tracy had been too quiet, so Catherine never really paid attention to her before this. “Don’t you hate me?” Catheri
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
