The policewoman said coldly, “We’ll accompany you here tonight. Rest well!”Dew said with a pitiful expression, “Now that I’m pregnant, I feel incredibly lonely. Can you call my parents over…?When she noticed that policewomen were about to say no, she hurriedly said, “I’m just a suspect, not a prisoner! I also have human rights! I’m sick and vulnerable, and I want to see my parents. What’s wrong with that? I don’t care, I want to see my parents! Go get my parents now!”Although she was throwing a spoiled tantrum, no one could refute what she said. Even inmates on death row had the right to see their family members. It was understandable that she wanted to meet her parents.After an hour, Aaron and Ruby rushed to the hospital. It was only half a month, but the two seemed to have aged a decade. Aaron’s face was full of wrinkles, and his back was a little hunched over. People could barely recognize him as the famous Daugherty Corporation’s chairman.As for Ruby, she looked eve
“Hi, are you Dyl?”Ruby asked politely when she noticed that Dylan sounded impatient.Dylan was stunned. He then said slowly, “Yes, that’s me. May I know why Dew’s phone is with you?”“I’m her mother.” Dew wiped her tears. “Something happened to her, and she can’t talk to you directly right now. She asked me to tell you that she’s a month and a half pregnant with your child.”“What?!”Dylan was in a daze. He thought he heard it wrongly. He asked again, “Did you say Dew is pregnant with my child?”“Yes, she’s in the hospital now. The pregnancy report is out, and the baby indeed is yours. What will you do?”Dylan’s brain was buzzing. He turned back and looked at his wife, who was sitting in the living room. ‘Well, she isn’t as attractive as Dew. That’s precisely why I cheated on her. ‘We’ve been together for four years, but she couldn’t get pregnant. We went for a check-up, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with us. Once, I heard my wife and her mother say that s
“Dylan, you came…”Dew blinked, and tears streamed down her face. She grabbed onto the blanket pitifully. “Someone set me up, and the police put me into the detention center. I wouldn’t have called you if I wasn’t pregnant. But now that I’m pregnant with our child, I didn’t want the baby to know that her mother is a felon. Dylan, please find a way to get me out…”Dylan looked at her with a complicated emotion in his gaze. “You lost weight.”Dew cried harder. “Yes, I did. I’ve lost about six to eight pounds. I’m afraid the baby won’t get enough nutrition.”“I’ve brought you chicken mornay. We’ll talk after you’re done eating.” Dylan put the bag that he was holding onto the ground. He then pulled out the container of mornay. He opened the lid, scooped out a small portion of the mornay, and said gently, “Take your time. Don’t rush. I’ll be here with you.”Dew was touched. ‘Finally, some warm affection after being put in detention for such a long time. ‘I’m truly grateful for
Adina leaned on her office chair and checked her phone after she finished working.All of a sudden, a headline caught her attention. She clicked on it when she noticed the familiar name. [According to our reporter’s follow-up report, the suspect in the child kidnapping case, Dew Daugherty, was found to be pregnant the day before yesterday. She is the first suspect in recent years who has been found to be pregnant before the trial. However, the next day, she accidentally miscarried after eating the mornay that her boyfriend gave her by mistake…] Adina instantly stood up.‘I was just thinking to myself yesterday if it’ll be fair for my children if she only goes to jail for three years just because she’s pregnant. ‘I didn’t expect her to have a miscarriage…‘Did God deprive her of her right to be a mother because she was so vicious toward my four children?’Adina turned off the news interface as her feelings became complicated. ‘Nothing will make up for what has happened these
She walked in unhindered and saw Flint just down the hall at the entrance of the private room. A fashionably dressed woman was clinging to Flint’s arm. She was visibly upset, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. “Flint, you said you would always love me. You can’t do this to me. I’ve waited for you for years. I’ve finally met you again. We are meant to be. Being together is our fate. I won’t give you up!” Flint was immensely stressed out. “Jasmine, please be reasonable, okay? What happened between us happened about five or six years ago. We didn’t even date past a month. No one gets married after dating for just a month.” “I don’t care!” Jasmine Yackley clung to Flint’s body possessively. Her face was filled with surprise, as if she had found her long-lost love. Flint could not hold on much longer. When he looked up, he saw Adina at the end of the corridor. He groaned and said, “My girlfriend is here. Let go of me now!” Jasmine raised her head to look. When she saw Ad
Flint turned around and placed his hands on Adina’s shoulder. Adina’s lips twitched a little. This bastard here was not really going to kiss her, was he? She was good enough of a friend to come here and get him out of this. If he really dared to touch her, she would teach him a lesson and show him how he should behave himself! She raised her hand and blocked Flint’s mouth. Flint playfully held her hand and gave her fingertips a fake kiss, with his thumb serving as a buffer in between. Then, he turned around and looked at Jasmine. “Why should we kiss in front of you? You are just an ex-ex-ex… I can’t even count how many girls I have dated after we broke up. Just stop trying to win my attention, will you?” Jasmine bit her lip. Then, she angrily stomped on her heels and walked away. Adina slapped Flint on the arm and said coldly, “This would be the last time. Don’t call me here for something like this again!” “Oh, Addy. Don’t be mad.” Flint scratched his nose. “Let me tre
“Fine. I will leave, okay?” Flint was reduced to a wimp in front of Adina. He walked to the door of the private room. Then, he turned back. His cold gaze fell on Duke. The private room door closed, and the corridor finally quieted down. Adina felt her scalp tingle. She did not even understand why she would feel guilty. The point was that guiltiness she felt had been really intense. Damn it! “So, what a small world.” Adina looked up and greeted him dryly. Duke stared at her with a gloomy gaze. “You have a boyfriend?” “No, no!” Adina shook her head hastily. “I was just doing him a favor by posing as his girlfriend.” She was typically an aloof person. Nothing else could stir up her emotions except her children. However, she could not even look Duke in the eyes right now. She lowered her head. Her long lashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes. Her skin was very pale. She looked even more stunning under the clubhouse’s colorful lights. Duke thought about the kiss that F
Flint slowly exhaled a smoke ring. He took two steps forward. The corner of his lips curled up, and he said, “Mr. Winters, you’d better treat Addy well. If you break her heart, don’t blame me for trying to take her away from you.” Duke chuckled. “You will never get that chance.” After he finished, he walked away with a big stride. Flint threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with the tip of his leather shoe. ...... Adina drove to the preschool. She sat in front of the preschool for a while before the two children came out holding hands. Alden glanced at her suspiciously. “Mommy, why are your lips so red?” “Oh, it’s probably, probably because I ate some spicy food.” Adina examined herself in the mirror. Her lips were extremely red, and they appeared swollen as well. She cursed Duke in her mind. Yet she continued to make up lies. “A coworker bought some spicy grilled fish this afternoon and shared it with us. It was quite good. I had two pieces in a row.
