The taste… was indescribable, and it was an understatement to say that it was the most unpalatable food ever.Chester had never ill-treated his stomach like that in his life.“Does it taste bad?” Charity looked at him.“...No. It’s good. It’s the best food I’ve ever had.” Chester forced himself to stuff the food into his mouth. While eating, he secretly watched Charity take the spoon and get ready to eat.He thought Charity would find the food she cooked awful after she tried it.However, she did not at all.He was a little sulky. Could it be that there was something wrong with his tastebuds now that he was sick?“I’m not good at cooking.” Charity suddenly said, “I don’t like adding seasoning to food, so I usually add very little salt and oil. I think reducing the intake of these will be better for our health. I never used to worry about getting sick or dying, but after giving birth to Cal, I think I should avoid getting sick. I want to live longer, at least until Cal grows up s
Looking at Chester’s mad face, Director Ashby almost burst into laughter.If that had happened in the past, Director Ashby certainly would not dare to joke with Chester. However, ever since Chester had seemingly changed into a different person for Eliza’s sake, Director Ashby suddenly felt like Chester was knocked off his pedestal, which made him less terrifying than he was.“Do you want me to prescribe some medicine for you–” Director Ashby teased.“Get lost.” Chester glowered at him impassively before he turned around and walked forward.“Fine. Calm down. Ever since you’ve confirmed that you wanted to return to work at the hospital, many patients have started to book appointments with you. You’re popular now. After your affair with Eliza was exposed, you’re almost like an influencer.” Director Ashby said with a laugh, “I’ve allocated 100 patients for you, and you’ll see 20 patients per day.”“Alright.”Chester returned to his office after a long time. However, everything was cl
Freya gave Charity a call right away. She chuckled. “Ryan proposed to me last night.”Charity was surprised but soon thought she should not be. “Well, you two have been dating for two years. Dating longer isn’t necessarily a good thing.” “I think so too. Ryan is nice, and he’s worth treasuring. The fear from my previous relationship’s failure has also healed over the last two years, so I accepted his proposal.”Freya smiled and said, “I told Cathy, and she was pretty envious. So, she went back and nagged at Shaun that they hadn’t had a wedding yet. Shaun agreed immediately and said they’d have it together with us. We don’t want it to be too grand because it’ll be troublesome, so we’ll just have a small wedding at a seaside hotel with parents and friends from both sides in attendance.” “That’s great. I won’t have to attend two weddings since you two are having it together,” Charity teased. “Do you want to have your wedding with us? You and Chester are back together anyway.” Ch
Charity gave birth to Cal after being pregnant with him for nine months, but why did he not look like her at all?She was a little upset about that.“I was saying that Cal should quickly grow up and be our flower boy,” Chester said honestly and shamelessly.“In your dreams.” Charity crossed her arms and smiled at Chester. “What a naive dream.” Chester’s face fell. “Why is it a dream? Charity, I’ve been thinking ahead since the day we got back together. We must have a wedding. I have to do it for you. Your best friends, Catherine and Freya, are getting married. Aren’t you envious at all?”“What’s there to be envious about?” Charity said, “Weddings are so troublesome. We have to invite guests, host a reception, have a rehearsal on the wedding day, and swear to love you for my whole life in front of all family and friends. I’ve done too many wedding scenes when I was filming dramas. I’ve done historical and modern weddings twice or even thrice that I get nauseous reciting the vows.”
Chase followed Shaun’s line of sight. A man in a casual blue shirt was sitting by the window. He was carrying a baby in one hand, and a baby’s bag was hung on his other arm. He held a feeding bottle in his hand and was trying to coax the baby to drink milk. Chase was shocked. He thought his eyes were fooling him. When the man raised his head with a big smile on his handsome face, Chase thought he had gone blind. What the f*ck. Was that the cold, arrogant Chester with a temper worse than Shaun's?“It’s shocking, right?” Shaun said sarcastically, “I thought I looked like a stay-at-home dad, but I realize I can’t even compare to him.”Chase nodded his head in agreement. “Hey, do you think Chester is being put under some curse by Eliza?”Shaun did not say a word. He did not dare to say that Eliza was Charity rebirthed because it would be troublesome if word of such an abnormal matter got out and caused Eliza to be captured as a research subject. However, Shaun understood wha
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
“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
“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
