Chester tried his best to suppress his feelings while speaking. Even his voice was trembling.Larissa’s eyes reddened.‘What a poor child,’ she thought. “Okay, I get it. You did wrong, but your biggest mistake was that you didn’t know how to love someone. Sigh. At the end of the day, it was your parents who didn’t instill the right moral values in you since you were young. What’s the point of being rich if you can’t even educate your child well?”“Really? This is my first time hearing someone say that to me.” Chester looked as if he saw the light.Ken did not even bother to look at Chester’s expression.If there were an Oscars award, Ken would certainly give it to Chester.Look. Chester had even managed to make Larrisa sympathize with him in a few minutes.However, Chester was going in the right direction. Rather than striving to please Charity, he might as well put more effort into targeting Larissa.It was obvious Charity listened to her mother.Ken still could not figure
Larissa burst out laughing in spite of herself too.She previously saw Chester as a high and mighty person. However, with this situation, it seemed to have brought their relationship closer.“By the way, where’s the apple you were holding just now, Charity?” Larissa suddenly asked.Only then was Charity reminded of the box Shaun handed to her. She searched for it and handed it to Chester. “Shaun told me to pass you this apple.” Chester naturally ignored the word ‘Shaun’. After receiving it cautiously, he held it in his arms.50 minutes later, Shaun drove over to pick them up.After moving Chester into the car with Ken, Shaun drove back to the wooden house.On the lawn outside the wooden house, Catherine and Freya were comfortably sitting on the chairs, basking in the sun, while Ryan was looking after the three kids who were having fun.“You’re working hard, Ryan.” Shaun teased him, “Considering you’re doing such a great job looking after the kids, you should have one with Frey
“Artificial insemination?”Chester, Shaun, and Ryan looked at Charity, dumbfounded and surprised.On the other hand, Catherine and Freya reacted calmly. After all, they had heard about it from Charity previously.“What’s wrong with artificial insemination?” Freya shouted, “There are too many sc*mbags these days, so it’s better to have kids without getting married. That way, one can avoid having to look after the man after she gives birth to the child. Taking care of the kid is the woman’s responsibility, but why does she have to look after the man too? That’s just dirty work.”Catherine nodded in agreement. “A few days ago, I saw a piece of news about a woman resigning to shoulder the responsibility of looking after her family and kids. But once the kids had grown up, her husband started to get fed up with her and kicked her out while having a mistress. D*mn, and he only paid tens of thousands of dollars to his ex-wife for divorce. Tsk, tsk. A caretaker or janitor can make at least
However, that topic tempted Charity. What was going on? “Um… Can I have twins?”“You can have twins or even triplets.” Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Shaun took out his phone cooperatively. “I’ll share my friend’s contact with you. You can pose your questions to him anytime. If you start preparing this year, maybe you’ll be able to welcome your twin babies on this same day next year.”“Thank you.” Charity received the number Shaun shared and quickly added it to her contacts.Upon seeing that, a gleam flashed across Chester’s eyes. When he pretended to go inside the house to get water, he dragged Shaun aside angrily. “D*mn it. Why did you recommend she get babies through in-vitro fertilization? Do you know how tough it is for women to conceive through in-vitro fertilization?” “Tsk. Are you worried about her suffering or annoyed that she’ll be having another man’s baby?” Shaun teased Chester. Chester glared at him in exasperation. “Both. Why did you recommend
“Well, thanks. If I disclose this, my wife might even divorce me,” Shaun said with much self-awareness. “Tell me. Is Eliza actually Charity?”‘F*ck!’Chester clenched his jaw. He knew that b*stard could guess it. “Is it true?” Shaun was shocked upon seeing Chester keeping quiet. “Didn’t Charity die in the sea?” Shaun found it unbelievable. “Oh, unless she didn’t die, changed her appearance through plastic surgery, and became the Eliza now? Wait. Where did the real Eliza go?”Chester initially just wanted to reveal that Charity had transmigrated. However, seeing Shaun guessing blindly, he simply said, “The real Eliza committed suicide after being in a relationship with Monte, and Charity passed herself off as Eliza. That was why the real Eliza’s acting skills were mediocre when she first entered the entertainment industry, but it leveled up after Charity replaced her.”In fact, Chester’s words were not entirely false. Was Charity not replacing Eliza and living in her stead right
Chester turned his head and said, “That’s why I don’t want Charity to conceive through in-vitro fertilization. Although she won’t know which man’s baby she’s carrying in her womb, I still can’t accept it. I’ll go insane.”Shaun frowned. “Even if I don’t help Charity, she can get someone else’s help using her connections if she’s determined to do it.”Chester was speechless. Unfortunately, with the state his body was in, he could not even be discharged. If not, he would think of every way possible to get that woman’s heart back. “Actually, I think letting Charity go to my friend’s place to get artificial insemination will benefit you.”Shaun glanced at Chester and lowered his voice. “The source of sperm is confidential, so you can secretly include yours.”“...”Chester’s heart skipped a beat. He was sitting in a wheelchair, but he pulled Shaun to him. “This… isn’t very appropriate.”“You say it’s inappropriate, but your grip is so tight that you’re about to rip my clothes. You
Chester and Shaun exchanged glances, and both felt guilty.Hence, Shaun quickly opened the door and said with a serious expression, “Wifey, be careful of what you say. Chester said his leg hurt, so I closed the door to check his condition.”Upon hearing that, Catherine said in a serious tone, “Is it bad? Do we need to return to the hospital to get it checked?”“Maybe he overdid it when he was practicing walking earlier in the morning.” Shaun made it sound like the truth. “Take it slow. Your body hasn’t fully recovered,” Catherine said to Chester in a rare, pleasant tone. “Shaun told me off just now too.” A sigh escaped Chester’s lips, and he spoke earnestly. Shaun could not resist giving him a sideways glance. Chester’s acting skills could win him an award. “Alright. I’ll ask Ken to keep an eye on you. Ryan and I are going to make lunch.” Shaun rolled his sleeves up, revealing his firm arms. “You guys are cooking?” Chester was astonished. Shaun glanced at his wife. The
Chester’s heart clenched for a moment. Even so, he said reluctantly, “Charity, why don’t you think about getting a boyfriend and marrying him? Life is long. Giving birth and raising a child is no easy task. Especially when you’re sick, having someone to share your responsibilities will make it less tiring.” Charity thought over the matter seriously.Why was she unwilling to get married?In fact, she had attempted to get into a relationship with Max.However, she discarded the thought after something happened to Chester.After noticing that Charity had been silent for a while, Chester felt a glimmer of hope. “Charity, is it because I—”“You did hurt me.” Charity interrupted him and said honestly, “After going through it, I don’t find relationships memorable. It has brought me nothing but torture and harm, so I think it’s nice to be alone too. What’s more, my parents are dead. Being able to see the world with Eliza’s body is already a blessing. What gives me the right to find happ
