Maybe, he could learn to have a normal relationship like Shaun and Rodney.On the other side of the phone, Eliza was dumbstruck.Chester was not a person who lied. If he said he would cancel his engagement with Cindy, he really would.The corners of her mouth suddenly curled with mockery. He used to say the same thing when they were young.Have a good talk.She believed him. After entrusting him with all she had, what she got in return was his cold and heartless abandonment.Now, he was saying that to another woman. Although the soul was still her, it was completely different.How could she be moved so foolishly?“How about it? Do you agree?” Chester smiled charmingly. He still had confidence in himself. He believed that she must be ecstatic now.“No.”Eliza refused. “You suddenly don’t want to get married to Cindy, and then start dating me. If word gets out, what will the public think of me? They’ll say I’m a mistress who got promoted. This is the most taboo kind of thing
Chester gnashed his teeth.Just then, Rodney called him. “Chester, my dad will hold a feast at Jubilee International Hotel tomorrow night. I have an invitation for your family. Where are you?”Chester paused and quickly understood.Nathan was now the prime minister, and his brother Jason was the supporting force backing him. Jason was hosting a feast now both to celebrate and to win over the big shots in the business circle again.“I’m out…”“Are you going to the hospital? I’m going to bring Freya for a checkup so I’ll pass the invitation to you,” Rodney said.Chester hummed.............At 11:00 a.m., Rodney came to the hospital with Freya. This was the first time he was accompanying her to a checkup, and she would be doing a 4D color Doppler ultrasound. Apparently, this ultrasound would allow them to see the child’s appearance clearly. He wondered if the child looked more like him or Freya. The two of them had just entered the elevator when a large group of people suddenly
“What are you doing? Let go. I’m just concerned about you as a brother,” Rodney yelled.Chester’s dark eyes behind his glasses became increasingly gloomy.Freya frowned and quickly pulled Rodney. “He doesn’t want you to see. Why do you care so much? Young Master Jewell cares about his reputation.”Rodney wanted to look, but when he saw the soft little hand holding his left hand, he felt like floating.Her hand was so small and slender. It was much smoother than his.Just as he wanted to grasp her hand, Freya quickly withdrew.Rodney pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. Next to them, Chester was speechless as he saw the scene. Was there a need to act like that? It was as if he never touched a woman before. Just touching his hand made him fall into a daze.“Hey, Chester, how did your mouth get hurt?” Rodney came to his senses and joked casually. “Was it done by a woman?”“It’s none of your business. We’re at the OB-GYN Department,” Chester stopped in his tracks.Rodney was about
“...It’s my fault. I’ll pay right now,” Rodney felt like biting his tongue off.He linked the consultation card to his phone clumsily according to the instructions on the wall about the mobile payment.After paying the bill, he accompanied Freya for a blood test.Seeing so much blood being drawn, he began to feel annoyed. “Why do you need to draw so much blood for a prenatal test?”The nurse who was drawing Freya’s blood gave him an innocent look. “It’s necessary. As the baby grows older, more screening tests are needed to ensure that the baby and the mother are healthy and safe.”Rodney pursed his thin lips. Only after the blood test was over did he say to Freya seriously, “I’m going to buy a chicken and cook you some broth to help replenish your blood.”Freya cast a confused look at him. “Thank you. Your words suddenly reminded me of my mom.”Rodney was speechless.His words reminded her of her mom?What did it mean?Was he like her mom?Rodney, who was treating her tender
However, once the report of the Doppler ultrasound was out, Rodney was pleased about it. “Is this my daughter? She’s really pretty.”Freya asked in astonishment, “How do you know it’s a girl? Did you ask Chester?”Rodney was stunned. “Chester didn’t tell me. By the look of the baby’s pretty features, I feel that she’s a girl.”The corners of Freya’s mouth twitched. “I didn’t know you could determine the gender of the baby.”Freya touched his nose embarrassedly before he purposely took a photo of the Doppler ultrasound report. “You damn brat, who allowed you to cover your face? Because of you, your mom had to climb up and down wearily for a long time. After you’re born, you have to be filial to your mom, okay?”Upon hearing his words, Freya shot him a complicated look. She probably did not expect him to be so considerate. She was quite tense at first, but his words lifted her mood all of a sudden.Rodney suddenly approached her and said earnestly, “Freya, I used to think that pr
Catherine added helplessly, “Of course, it’s mainly because you’re pregnant with Rodney’s child and both of you are officially married. If he’s really remorseful, can’t you give him another chance?”Freya pouted and moaned, “Given that he speaks so meanly, would I die early if I live with him for the rest of my life?”“Isn’t that good? If he lives with you for the rest of his life, he might die early due to your provocation as well. It’s nice to have someone die with you.”When the scornful laughter resounded, Freya lost her temper. “Catherine Jones…”“Enough. Be content that you have a chicken to eat. From the moment Shaun and I married, split up, and gave birth, he has never cooked any chicken broth for me,” Catherine said in a grim tone, “Thanks to you, I don’t feel good. After I made peace with Shaun, he said he’ll make time to cook for me. In the end, he’s been tied up all the time. What a liar that man is. It turned out to be a trick.” Freya could not help but giggle secret
“I’m fine with it,” Rodney replied as he subconsciously withdrew his leg for fear that it would be stepped on again.Freya nodded in contentment. She gulped down two bowls of soup in feeling good....The following night.Jubilee International Hotel.A modest yet grand banquet was being held in the dining hall located on the top floor.Rows of cars filled the hotel’s parking lot.Although the Snow Corporation was said to be the organizer of the banquet, a lot of people were under no illusions that Nathan was the one backing the company. Those who could attend the banquet were no ordinary people.Given that Freya was pregnant, the Snow family did not ask her to serve the guests. Instead, they made Rodney accompany her. The two of them only arrived at the banquet hall at 7:30 p.m.Shortly after, Shaun and Catherine showed up.Shaun was dressed in a three-piece dark gray suit with one hand in his pocket while the other rested on Catherine’s shoulder. In contrast, Catherine wore
Rodney scoffed and said, “If Cindy can’t accept it, I guess Chester will make her kneel and accept it.”Catherine and Freya exchanged glances.Shaun placed his hand around Catherine’s waist. “In terms of viciousness, I can’t compare with Chester.”Rodney might appear somber, while Chester seemed like an elegant doctor in a white coat, but no one among the three of them could be as vicious as Chester.When Chester caught sight of them from a distance, he waved his hand but did not walk toward them. Rodney chuckled and said, “I bet Chester is too shy to come here. Damn… Isn’t that Wesley, that b*stard? Why did he come with Gavin?”Gavin was the then Senator Mead. Now that he had risen to the rank of Minister Mead, a lot of people went to flatter him the minute he showed up. Wesley, who was right beside Minister Mead, looked quite different than before. At this point, he looked like Minister Mead’s favorite person as Minister Mead kept introducing the guests to him. No matter h
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
