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
Two days later, Charity went to a hospital in Bern by car.Shaun’s friend personally received Charity. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s and had azure eyes and curly hair. His movements looked gentlemanly as well.“Hi. I’m Nison.” The man shook Charity’s hand. Then, he got a female doctor in the hospital to perform a thorough body check-up on Charity.After a series of examinations, Nison was surprised at the results. “Do you have a history of taking stimulants?”Charity was momentarily stunned.If it had not been for the doctor’s reminder, she would have nearly forgotten it.When she was in a relationship with Chester a while back, she did take some stimulants to numb her feelings.“Y-Yes.”Every time she had sex with Chester, she would take the stimulants beforehand. Nison sighed. “Young people like you never care about your health for momentary happiness. You can’t take those stimulants however you like. Overconsumption can damage your body, and it’ll be difficult for yo
