Aurelia's big eyes seemed to have lost their usual shine and held a hint of terror."Cordelia… that woman, I-I think I know her!"…Melorian's weather in June was damp, mild, and rainy. It was going to be summer, but the temperature remained low, especially chilly at night.Zephyr took a cardigan to drape on Cordelia, who was on the balcony, and hugged her from the back."What are you thinking about?"Cordelia reeled in her gaze to turn to Zephyr. "Zephyr, do you think what Aurelia said… is true?"Zephyr's gaze dimmed.Cordelia had told him all about Hannah's visit today and Aurelia's encounter during her abduction the other day."She was blindfolded that day, but she heard the voices clearly. Hannah spoke Acian, so it left a deep impression on her."Zephyr's expression was as grim as he clenched his fists.If this was really the case, Hannah cheated with Chuck, and Noah was kept in the dark…Once this was exposed, Noah would lose his wife and money, becoming the victim who
The next day, Neil nearly dropped his jaw in shock when he saw Aurelia at the door."Mr. Harris." The Chaiseland butler bowed gentlemanly. "Mr. Hamerton's instructed that Ms. Aurelia will stay here under your care from now on!"It took a moment for Neil to process it.This morning before he woke up, he received a call from Cordelia and groggily listened to her speak—something about it was no longer safe for Aurelia to stay with her, and they had something big to do and that they needed to protect Aurelia…He had thought that he was dreaming. That was why he agreed in passing when Cordelia mentioned sending Aurelia to him.It was unexpected that…"Hey, wait!" Neil did not manage to hold the butler but almost ran into Aurelia instead.Aurelia stood there timidly with her luggage, and Neil looked at her. Although he frowned with impatience, his hands moved on their own accord to take her bag from her.He asked for another room soon."Key card." He glanced at her. "You stay in thi
“Hmm… no!” Aurelia answered seriously and frankly, "Uncle, a necklace is a pretty thing!""What, you mean I'm not pretty?" Neil was indignant. "Pretty" was not quite an adjective for him, but he was a handsome man acknowledged by showbiz, and his title as the nation's first love did not come in vain."No, no!" Aurelia hurried to say."Then what do you mean? Didn't you say that necklaces are pretty?""It's not that you're not pretty." Aurelia smiled. "But you're no 'thing'!""Aurelia!"How dare she!?…The new film was in the preparation stage, but Trinity was not quite happy.When Cordelia saw her in the cafe with a pair of dark eye circles and a gaze of despair, she felt so bad about it."Cordelia, change her out!" Trinity was exasperated. "What kind of a monster is Ava Baker? Never mind that she can't get her lines straight. She looks the same no matter the emotions! I don't want the title of the prodigious director, okay? How am I a f*cking genius!? I can't teach her!"Co
“You…” Zephyr stroked Cordelia's belly and smiled. "Just focus on delivering our son and yourself!""Mm." Cordelia smiled. "Hopefully, all this annoying stuff will be over by the time he's out here.""They will be. Honey, don't disclose anything and let Trinity know to keep it all in for the time being. Don't fall out with Ava!""I know!" Cordelia thought of something and added, "Darling, you must look into the account that Hannah uses with that man. It's the most crucial piece of evidence!"Zephyr's gaze was gentle as he pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Got it, darling dearest!"…Hannah's right eye had been twitching these days, and she felt anxious and distressed. She asked Ava, "Ava, what does it mean when your eye twitches? What do the left and right mean separately?"Ava was busy with a facial mask and did not have time to entertain her.Hannah's temper flared. "I'm asking you a question, and look at how indifferent you are! What? Not yet a big celebrity and already think
Hannah did not even drive her car. She walked some distance to the quieter area away from the main streets and hailed a cab. She remained uneasy the whole way and only gradually felt better when she was in Chuck's territory.The cab stopped at the junction, not directly to Chuck's residence. This was a tacit understanding they shared after so long.She walked another distance to keep things under the radar after getting out of the cab. Today, however, she felt like there was a pair of eyes on her from the back when she made a turn into the quiet alley.Hannah shuddered and jogged on with her head lowered, but the feeling of being watched stayed with her.She turned around, but there was no one behind her, yet when she moved forward, the footsteps behind her sounded clear in the alley.She stopped, blinking, and took another alley. Then, she quickly slipped into Chuck's apartment.After ensuring no one was following her, she opened the door with a key. The obscene sight that gre
They were surprised.It had always been great every time she came for her check-up. The doctor had never spoken to her privately. Why…Cordelia squeezed Zephyr's hand nervously."Hubby, did something happen?""No, definitely not!" He was actually nervous too.Although he always teased his son, he was his child. A life that he made.He tried to cheer up and smiled at Cordelia. He held her hand and took her to the doctor's office.Her exclusive doctor was a kind, local lady. She was an expert in obstetrics and gynecology. She was quite experienced.She showed a kind smile as she watched them walk in."This is your report."Cordelia looked at it anxiously.The report showed that everything was good. So why did the doctor get them here?The doctor looked at Zephyr with a cryptic look."No need to worry. You and your child are great. It's just that there's something that you'll need to watch out for. I must remind you again, sir."He opened up his ears and listened attentive
Just when Zephyr was going to say something, someone suddenly passed by.Cordelia also noticed that and looked where he looked.""Isn't that Aunt Hannah?"He instinctively hugged Cordelia.Hannah came alone, and the way she walked was secretive. Looking at where she was going, she must have gone to the obstetrics and gynecology department."Why is she here too?" Cordelia frowned. "Did she follow us?"Zephyr gathered the bodyguards to protect them on the way to the car park.No matter whether she was following them or not, even if she had ill intentions, she had no advantage over them!Zephyr said in a deep voice, "Cordelia, I'll tell the butler and housekeeper to watch your food. You definitely can't eat anything that my uncle and aunt sent!""Hmm, got it." Cordelia nodded.He smirked. "So, I must protect you.""Oh… What else?""And I must sleep next to you for full protection!"…Trinity was doing the last preparations for her new movie.She kept changing the script, yet
Aurelia recognized Fredric. He was quite handsome in his suit, especially with his gold-framed glasses and his elegant demeanor with an overbearingness between his brows. It was hard for women not to fall for him.She looked down and smiled. He was no longer the clumsy, hurt man she had picked up from the street back then. He was healed now and had returned to his world of glory.He even had a beautiful and talented girlfriend with him.Meanwhile, Trinity was sincerely smiling from her heart.Aurelia was happy for him. She thought they were perfect for each other.However, when she looked at Neil again…She discarded her smile. She held her breath and dared not speak.She had never seen this man being so serious after spending some time.Aurelia carefully asked in a testing manner, "Uncle… Hehe, why did you bring me here today? Are you making me a star?"When Neil snapped back to his senses, only then he remembered a petite lady was standing next to him.He had heard that Tri
