“Sure enough…”Freya’s expression clearly showed that she had grasped the point. Blushing, Catherine swiftly made an excuse to leave with her two kids.Knowing that her best friend would be going on a vacation with her family, Freya gazed at the ceiling with jealousy and sighed.“What’s wrong… with you? Are you hungry?” Rodney asked as he approached her cautiously while carrying the baby.Freya shot a stony look at him. “Cathy will be traveling to Country Y with her family, yet all I can do is lay here. I’m jealous. It’s been ages since I last went on a vacation, especially after I got pregnant.”“We can go on a vacation after your confinement period is over.” After Rodney casually finished his sentence, it dawned on him that he had never traveled anywhere with Freya despite having married her for a long time. They had never even spent the night in other places.In fact, traveling was rather a good idea.As soon as this idea flashed across his mind, Rodney came up with a sugge
Freya had always given Rodney the cold shoulder and treated him with resentment. However, when she faced the baby, an indulgent and gentle smile spread across her face as though she had turned into a different person.Despite her slightly pale face, her features were still pretty and attractive. It seemed as though her smile could melt the snow. At the sight of her unusually quiet and gentle face, Rodney could not bring himself to interrupt her. He pursed his thin lips and quieted down.Only when Freya lifted her head once again did she notice that Rodney was obediently sitting beside her in silence.The scene was a little weird.“Why are you sitting here? Go away. I’m going to breastfeed.” Freya glowered at him.Rodney blinked. “Go ahead. I’m not stopping you.”Freya was at a loss for words.She wondered if he was trying to stay here on purpose.Although he was not stopping her, she… felt embarrassed. Rodney remained motionless. Then, he sensed her fiery gaze and grasped t
Freya felt an atomic bomb going off in her head.What did Rodney mean?It was as if she was impure and had complex thoughts.“I don’t need your help no matter how badly I’m suffering.” Freya showed a look of absolute contempt for him.Rodney pouted and did not bother to argue with her further.Dani woke up in the wee hours to have some breast milk again. However, a newborn like her had a rather poor appetite. There were a few times when Freya fell asleep while feeding the baby due to fatigue.While she was still muddle-headed, she sensed that someone had come and carried Dani away from her. The person then helped tidy her shirt.As much as she wanted to open her eyes, she was unable to do it.When she woke up the next day, she felt her face burning as she recalled what had happened in the wee hours.She glanced around the ward, only to see the caregiver alone. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. Rodney must have slept like a log last night. He could not have been the o
Mrs. Lynch, who arrived not long ago, was taken away by Wendy just like that.Freya felt helpless as she had planned to ask her mother to help her with the breast pump. She was mentally exhausted. At the sight of her frustrated expression, Rodney’s thin lips twitched. However, he held his tongue in the end. After lunch, Freya lay on the bed and was playing a game on her phone. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her phone. “The doctor said that you should spend less time on your phone during your confinement period. Too much screen time will harm your eyes. Do you want to go blind?” Rodney tossed her phone onto the couch. “Let me remind you that you’ve spent long enough on your phone this morning.”Freya was already grumpy having to lie on the bed. She was aware that spending too much time on her phone was bad for her. Even so, she was ruffled by how Rodney was restricting her. “Stop restricting me. Even if I go blind, it’ll be your fault. You got me pregnant and made me give birth to the
Freya was embarrassed.She could not believe that she was… so open while sleeping.After Rodney spotted her deeply embarrassed expression, the corners of his mouth curved up. “I really had no choice but to help you out after seeing how miserable you were. You don’t have to thank me as this is my duty as a husband. I just want to tell you that I appreciate everything you do, wifey.”“...”Freya was seething with fury.He had won this round.Putting aside the fact that she had been taken advantage of, she even had to thank him.Indeed, he was the archetype of a *sshole.“Do you feel better now?” Rodney looked at her with a grin. “If you’re still not well, I’m more than ready to assist you.”“Thanks. I feel much better.”With a face full of shame, Freya immediately covered her face with the blanket.“Is it because you’re embarrassed? I didn’t know that a shameless person like you would easily…”Rodney continued to make despicable comments about her. Freya, who was at the end o
With that, Chester turned around and walked out of the ward.He just happened to walk past Freya’s ward. He had a lot on his plate recently.Struck by a thought, Rodney promptly went after him. A blush of shame crept up his handsome face. “Chester, I have something to ask you...”“Are you trying to ask when you can sleep with Freya?” Chester broke in.“Uh… How did you know?” Rodney touched his nose in embarrassment.“It’s so obvious.” Chester smirked frivolously. “But I think you’re overthinking things at this moment. Are you sure she won’t divorce you?”“We already have a child together. Why would she do that? I won’t get a divorce.” Rodney bit his tongue and shot a look at Chester. “Answer me.”“Probably two months later.”“That’s so long.” A look of disappointment washed over Rodney’s face.Chester was at a loss for words. “Is it? I’m guessing you may not even get into bed with her after half a year.”After shattering his hopes, Chester left mercilessly.Rodney started su
Rodney was sulking.He had praised Freya’s wonderful figure, so she was supposed to be glad about it.Why was she so mad?It was just too difficult to grasp a woman’s thoughts.Freya gave him attitude the entire afternoon.She was barely nice to him anyway. Feeling used to it, Rodney did not take it to heart. It was only after Mrs. Lynch started staying with Freya to look after her and their baby did he gradually understand how Freya and her mother got along with each other. He could not help but sigh internally.After dinner, Mrs. Lynch took a bowl of chicken soup upstairs for her daughter.When Freya finished the bowl of chicken soup, Mrs. Lynch glanced around the bedroom before she sat beside her. “Have you and Rodney been sleeping in separate rooms?”“Mom, you know why I got married to Rodney in the first place, don’t you?” Freya frowned. “Before this, I planned on divorcing him right after giving birth.”“Is this a mutual decision or your own decision?” Mrs. Lynch asked g
“Mom, who on earth is your child? Did Rodney bribe you or something?” Mrs. Lynch’s words caused Freya’s face to turn ghastly.“I’m just telling the truth. Don’t you think my words make sense?” Mrs. Lynch asked.“... They do.” Freya had no choice but to agree reluctantly.Mrs. Lynch sighed. “It’s common for young people like you to come across scummy people. You might not know some people well even after knowing them for a long time, so there’s no need to cling to them. You should stop thinking that you’re so smart and you can look down on him.” “Mom, I’m not looking down on him. Given that he’s the eldest young master of the Snow family, why would I look down on him? Rather, I’m jealous of him being born under a lucky star.”“If you don’t look down on him, why are you always so sarcastic when speaking to him?” Mrs. Lynch’s eyes were sharp. “When both of you quarreled on the day of your delivery, it was indeed his fault for not putting up with you during your pregnancy. But come t
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
