Mrs. Ford knew who was at the door. After all, Caleb had just texted her, and she had told him that River was at home.

She went to open the door. Caleb stood there, panting heavily.

River’s heart ached a little when she saw him like this, but she didn’t let it show. “What are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t find you.” He sat down next to her.

The sun was setting, and the wind was blowing. The lace curtains billowed.

Mrs. Ford went back to her room, leaving Caleb and River alone.

Silence descended upon them.

“What’s the point? This is just for fun,” River said. “I think I’m probably around your mother’s age, right? Do you know how embarrassing it’d be for me to go see her?”

Her voice became smaller the more she spoke, and her tone was rather pitiful. This made Caleb a lot less furious about the fact that she said they were just having fun.

Compared to him, River had gotten the short end of the stick. Though everyone made fun of Caleb for their relationship, ultimately, she was the

    Caleb spent the night at River’s house. They made love passionately, and their hearts grew closer.He kissed her tenderly, looking like he would never let her leave his arms. He was becoming more and more reliant on her with every passing second.He didn’t even want to get out of bed the next day.River had to push him to wake him up.“Aren’t you going to work?”Caleb dragged her into his arms and kissed her everywhere.She smelled delectable, and he couldn’t have enough of it. He sniffed her all over, as if he was addicted.“Yeah, I am.” He rubbed his eyes and went to the washroom to clean himself up.River needed to go to her company, but she decided to go to one of her stores near Caleb’s office so that she could drop him off.He gave her a kiss in front of his company. “Bye.”“Caleb.” River was wearing a white silk shirt and wide-legged pants, and she looked like a goddess. Her gaze was tender as she looked at him. “I’ll give the thing with your mother some more thought,

    Since Bethany had already ordered so much food, River didn’t add to it.Moreover, she and Caleb had had a late breakfast that morning. She wasn’t really hungry.After ordering, Bethany glanced at her. “My, Madam Hastings. Has your beauty salon come up with a new skin-brightening procedure or something?”“Why do you ask?”“It’s only been a month since we last met, but you look like a different person now. Your skin’s glowing, and you look like you’re in your twenties,” Bethany said teasingly.Bethany and River didn’t act like a typical mother-daughter duo. Bethany’s father was the one who had raised her, and he had treated her like a princess. She thought the world of him. River had only been eighteen when she had Bethany, and she could barely care for herself. At that time, she was working as a salesperson at a cosmetics company, and she was so busy that she barely had time to spend with Bethany.This all came to an end when one day, Bethany’s father passed away due to an illness

    Bethany went back to her seat. Halfway through the meal, nausea washed over River again, but she suppressed it.Bethany could tell that River wasn’t feeling well, though.This time, even River couldn’t help thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m pregnant!’ She never would’ve thought that she would still be able to get pregnant at this age.She had mixed feelings about the baby. On one hand, giving birth at her age was a dangerous thing; on the other hand, she loved Caleb deeply and really wanted to have his child.She didn’t know what to do. Obviously, she had to speak to Caleb about this, but she didn’t know whether someone his age was willing to be a father, or whether he was ready to be one. Once they agreed to have this child, their relationship would be completely different from how it was at present.River was in a rush to leave after the meal, and Bethany found it even more suspicious. She knew River probably had an idea of what was going on. Otherwise, River wouldn’t be acting like this.

    Bethany drove to the hospital where she worked.River felt nervous. She was afraid Bethany would ask who her boyfriend was. She didn’t think she would have the guts to answer.“Do you feel any different?” Bethany asked.It was as if their roles had been switched. Bethany was the mother, while River was the daughter.“No, I don’t. Maybe it’s all just a misunderstanding.”“I don’t have any pregnancy tests at home, but you should know your body best.”“Yeah, I know.”This meant River had slept with someone over the past month. She did have a boyfriend!“Who’s your boyfriend? Do I know him?” River had been single all these years, and Bethany thought things would stay that way. With River’s status, it wasn’t likely that she wouldn’t be able to find herself another man. The only reason was that she wasn’t interested. Bethany thought that since River hadn’t bothered to find herself another man when she was younger, she wouldn’t do so now that she was older. Yet here she was, pregnan

    At the hospital, Bethany accompanied River to get the ultrasound done.It was mainly to check whether River was having an ectopic pregnancy.Bethany had mixed feelings about the pregnancy. She didn’t feel happy. In fact, she felt like she had been betrayed. Her mother was having a child with someone else, and in the future, she would probably have to care for the child once her mother was gone. Her only impression of this baby was that it was here to take a share of her inheritance.Back in Bethany’s office, she asked River, “Do you want the baby? If you don’t, it’s best to get rid of it as soon as possible.”River bit her lip. “I need to talk things over with him first. I’ll let you know if we decide not to keep the baby.”“Okay.”“I’m going to go, then.” River left.In the car, she called Caleb.“Hey, um… I’m pregnant. Should we keep the baby?” she asked tentatively.“You’re pregnant?!” It was obvious that Caleb was dazed, but he still said happily, “We’ll keep the baby, of

    When Clarissa heard Damien asking for Charles to return to Fendaria, she asked him what had happened. Damien told her that there was a document that needed Charles’s signature.“They’re having fun traveling now, aren’t they? Why does he have to go back?”“Work is more important,” Damien said.Clarissa didn’t say anything else. Her belly was growing bigger by the day, and she was always exhausted. Most of the time, she didn’t have any energy to bother about anything else.She didn’t obsess over River’s pregnancy. She felt that it was only normal for River to find a companion since her husband had passed away such a long time ago. Anyway, River was a great woman. It wouldn’t be hard for her to find someone.Clarissa told Damien about River being pregnant.Damien was surprised, but he and Bethany were only acquaintances. He had never seen River before, so this didn’t really mean anything to him. After everything he had been through, it would take a lot to truly shock him.He merely

    Connie couldn’t conceal her delight at the sight of Charles’s pale face.“Anna, where’s my medication?” Charles’ voice was trembling. He was in great pain.“Medication? What medication? What’s it for?” Connie crossed her arms and stood there, watching as he clutched at his chest.He glanced at her, wondering what was wrong. Was she waiting for him to die so she could inherit his fortune, now that she knew he had allocated one percent of it to her? Or did she think that it was too little? Why hadn’t he seen right through her despite his life experience? How could there be such an evil person in this world? He had fallen for her act hook, line, and sinker!At this moment, Connie pulled out a prescription bottle from the drawer opposite Charles’s desk. She stood right before him and said, “Are you talking about this?”“Yes…” He could barely speak.“Let me see what exactly this is for.” After that, Connie turned her gaze from his face to the bottle. “It’s too bad I don’t know how to

    When Connie noticed that Charles wasn’t feeling well, she felt proud of herself.A patient with myocardial infarction should not experience major emotional fluctuations. Right now, Charles’s complexion was bright red, and his breathing was rasp and uneven. He wanted to point at Connie in rage, but failed to do so.Connie grabbed his shivering finger and shoved it to the other side.“If you want to blame someone, blame your wife! She’s lived a life with all the riches and comfort ever since she was young.

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look.
