“Are you in the manor today? The grapes in the residence are ripe, so I’ll send some over to you and check on you as well. It’s not like you’ll come see an old woman like me if I don’t go to you first.”“Grapes are good. If a pregnant woman eats more grapes, maybe the babies will have bigger eyes in the future,” Shaun mused thoughtfully.“What… What did you say?” Old Madam Hill stuttered in shock.“It’s exactly what it sounds like. I’m going to be a father.” The corners of Shaun’s mouth curled up. His tone was as delighted as it could be as he continued, “They’re twins.”“Shaun Hill, why didn’t you announce such important news before now?” Old Madam Hill’s voice almost deafened him.Twins! Oh, God!The Hill family had never had twins before.Old Master Hill, who was reading the newspaper with his presbyopic glasses, also sat up and perked up his ears.“Why should I tell you? I thought you didn’t like Catherine.” Shaun crossed his legs. “If I told you earlier, you’d just make he
He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.Catherine originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Hill’s words. She nodded in agreement. “I’m willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right.”“That’s right.” Old Madam Hill gave her an approving look.For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Catherine.Shaun’s heavy eyes rested on her little face.He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.“I disapprove.”“It’s useless for you to disapprove,” Old Master Hill ordered, “In any case, the first twins of the Hill family must be born healthily.”Shaun, “...”Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Catherine. “You did that on purpose.”“Yeah.” Catherine looked up and said righteousl
Valerie hated Catherine. It was all Catherine’s fault that Shaun removed her from the position of director-general of Hill Corporation after he took office, causing her to be reduced to an unauthorized person.Her teeth ached in hatred every time she thought of Catherine Jones.“Aunty, why can’t I be here? I’m Shaun’s wife.” Catherine raised a brow and smiled.“Bah, don’t call me ‘Aunty’! You’re not worthy. You only make me sick.” Valerie became agitated.“That’s right, you’re just an illegitimate daughter. We don’t acknowledge you at all.” Queenie also looked down on her.“Don’t upset me,” Catherine said softly, not sounding threatening at all.Valerie laughed at that. “So what if I upset you? So what if I hit you?”She raised her hand as she spoke, but Queenie quickly grabbed her. “Mom, Grandma…”Valerie stopped and turned to look, only to see Old Madam Hill walking over. She was quite far away, so Valerie could not make out her expression. Even so, Valerie was full of disbel
Queenie also became anxious. “Grandma, forgive Mom. She didn’t mean to—”“Your Grandpa and I are old. We only want to live a simple life. We can’t tolerate such vicious thoughts. Queenie, if you’re like your mother, then you don’t have to come back in the future.”Old Madam Hill was really fed upShe waved her hand and let the housekeeper ‘escort’ them out.“Grandma, I’m sorry…” Catherine looked apologetic.“Don’t apologize. I could see very clearly that she was the one who was picking on you. It’s true that I don’t like you that much, but I can still distinguish between right and wrong.”Old Madam Hill was very straightforward.Catherine did not feel upset. On the contrary, the old madam’s attitude made her feel more at ease.“If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me. You’re also Shaun’s wife. In the future, you’ll be in charge of this manor, so you can explore the place when you have time and familiarize yourself with it.”Catherine froze.Was Old Madam Hill accept
“Go ahead. Grandma would have turned off her phone at this hour to sleep.” Shaun domineeringly took her into his arms, and his left hand strayed toward her stomach. “Let me see if our two little babies have grown a little today.”“They’re only a month old now. There won’t be any changes.” Catherine pushed his hand away speechlessly. “Go away. I want to sleep.”“You haven’t answered my question.” Shaun stared intently at her. “Who wants to be the children’s godmother? If it’s Freya Lynch, I disagree because her IQ is worrying. If it’s Charity Neeson, I disagree even more…”“Shaun Hill, did you come over in the middle of the night to argue with me?” Catherine grew angry and hit him with the pillow. “The children are mine. It’s my decision on who gets to be their godmother. If you don’t stop nagging, I won’t give birth to them.”“What did you say?” Shaun’s face suddenly darkened. “Catherine Jones, think before you speak. Don’t think that the children won’t understand what you’re sayin
“Freya Lynch, it’s you!”When the window rolled down, Linda Shelby’s b*tchy face appeared. She looked very happy to see Freya.However, Freya wanted to vomit blood.Damn it! She just returned to Melbourne for a few days but ended up running into the most annoying person.“Freya, why are you back in Melbourne? I heard that you found a new boyfriend in Canberra. How could you do this to Patrick?” Linda suddenly frowned and said.“That’s none of your business. Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me when I said that you almost hit my car?” Freya’s voice was full of impatience.Linda’s eyes reddened from feeling aggrieved. “I’m sorry, I...”“I apologize on her behalf…”The passenger door suddenly opened and Patrick stepped out of the car. His once poise and handsome figure was now slightly bowed, and his charming face and lips were as pale as paper. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.Freya could tell at a glance that he was not feeling well.Her heart tightened, but she quickl
“It’s Freya. She went to the forensic department in the hospital. Do you think she has an illegitimate child or something?”“The forensic department?” The voice on the other end of the line suddenly raised in pitch. “Freya is in Melbourne?”“Yeah, I also find it weird that she’s suddenly back. She can’t be trying to get Patrick back, right? Hmph, I won’t let her succeed—”“Linda, we’ll talk next time. Something suddenly came up here.”Rebecca ended the call and suddenly realized that her scalp was still hurting. She had lost a large patch of hair when Catherine yanked her by the hair before.Her heart thumped, and she immediately dialed a mysterious number. “Catherine’s friend Freya suddenly went to the forensic department in a hospital in Melbourne. I think that Catherine took my hair to do a paternity test with Jeffery.”“I’ll investigate it.”“If Shaun and the others find out that I’m the fake Shelley Langley, they’ll definitely kill me.”“Don’t worry. As long as you work fo
Catherine continued, “Think carefully. Your friends keep saying that your memory is getting worse because I provoked you, but you must have been very sad as well when Sarah Langley died. Did this happen to you back then? From the time Shelley Langley started taking care of you, why have you been forgetting your memories?”Shaun’s face went white.Sure enough, it was only recently that he had frequent headaches and suffered from poor memory.“I’m 100% sure that she’s Rebecca Jones. What’s her purpose in suddenly appearing by your side? Did she add anything into the milk and medications she usually prepared for you? Have you ever thought about that?”Catherine’s eyes were grim. “You got injections and took the medications every day, and you used to be able to get better before. Why have they become useless now?”Shaun was speechless.He also began to believe her words.“You can tell someone to grab Shelley immediately and send her for paternity testing. Aren’t her parents still ar
