As they traveled to the testing center, Violet couldn't see how it was on Lucius's route. Lucius drove her to the center without making any stops. Violet assumed he had business in that area because he stated it was on his way.Her palms were sweating as she held two samples in her hand, knowing th
Lucius remained silent, ultimately choosing not to respond.Thus, Violet's return to Wickham's residence was confirmed.Patrick personally came to pick her up that day, his joy evident upon seeing her.Violet, on the other hand, struggled with recognizing her own emotions and became unusually quiet.
As Violet's demeanor grew somber and uneasy, Eda felt compelled to break her silence.She confessed, "Honestly, I never believed your mother was that kind of person. She was kind, cultured, and had always behaved appropriately. She had never stepped out of line!"Violet kept to herself. She figured
Emily took a step forward, grabbing Violet by the arm.Violet blinked her eyes.She had gone insane. Was she proposing that they share a man?Violet instinctively jerked her arm away.She looked at Emily, feeling annoyed and confused. Emily felt like a stranger to her now. Emily's suggestion had st
Violet backed away from Lucius's hold inside the automobile. Her hair was ruffled from when she was shielded under his coat, so she went on to straighten it."Why are you here?" she asked, her voice sweetened by the understanding that both of them were looking for each other at the same time."Would
The storm raged for several hours before ultimately subsiding.Violet blushed as she cuddled lazily under the covers. Her body felt like it had fallen apart.Meanwhile, the person who had worked himself the most appeared completely refreshed. His eyes sparkled brightly behind sweat-dampened eyelashe
"Could you... tell them to go back?" she asked."Certainly." Lucius was surprisingly agreeable. "I'll protect you myself."Violet was momentarily speechless and quickly formulated a refusal, "You don't have to protect me. We live in a peaceful society with good security. This isn't necessary."He bl
Ursa had already clocked out for the day. Who could be visiting at this hour?When Violet caught sight of Lucius, she was simultaneously startled, yet somehow not entirely surprised.He moved toward her with confident steps, his posture upright and striking. The fit of his trench coat accentuated hi
Lucius simply nodded, glancing at the papers on his desk but not bothering to touch them. "Take those away and get the procedures done as fast as possible," he instructed."Sure thing, Master Lucius," Hector responded, collecting the papers. He hesitated for a moment before speaking up again. "Oh
"Is the child Lucius's?""Of course."Agatha didn't know how she managed to leave the building; she only felt a chill running through her body. When she said those words, she had no idea Violet was pregnant. What had she been trying to accomplish with her actions? Even she couldn't figure it out.
When they hopped into the car, it took Violet a while to compose herself. She gently pulled away from Oliver's grasp and said, "I'm okay now. Let me go.""How are you okay? I saw you in that accident; I can't just ignore it," Oliver retorted, his tone softening despite his frustration. He didn't wa
She couldn’t put aside her own feelings, but she had to think about the baby's health.Oliver managed a strained smile. He couldn't express what he wanted to say, so he simply helped her out of the hospital.Back at home, Violet ushered him toward the door, saying, "I'm back home now. You should go
"Master Lucius," whispered the assistant as he leaned in close to Lucius's ear.His voice was barely audible to anyone else, but Sarah watched as Lucius clenched his glass so tightly that it seemed like it might shatter.Lucius didn't say a word. After the assistant left, everything returned to norm
However, Sarah didn't seem in a hurry to leave. She maintained her smile and offered, "Is there something you need from Lucius? I can pass on the message to you."Her seemingly polite offer was clearly a jab at Violet.Violet's expression turned cold. She retorted, "Thank you, Ms. Meyer. But Lucius
Violet cried in Patrick's embrace, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him what had happened.Patrick didn’t push her, worried that she might feel worse. He left after making her a promise to reach out if she needed anything.Violet agreed, but she knew she should rely on Patrick less.After fini
The glass he held shattered due to his rage.Sarah leisurely sipped her wine, her eyes carrying a profound meaning. Lucius used her to provoke Violet, which was despicable, but she found solace in that woman's words.Swoosh! Lucius stood up abruptly."Master Lucius," a subordinate rushed into the ro
"Dad, don't worry. I'm okay," Violet reassured Patrick with a faint smile.Patrick noticed her weak smile. He wanted to ask more, but Violet quickly cut off the conversation, saying she had work to do."Okay." Patrick nodded reluctantly, deciding not to pry further. "Astrid mentioned you haven't bee
