Sylvia looked at their faces.After a while, Liam asked her, "Mommy, am I having another little brother or sister?"His eyes were bright and clear, and there seemed to be some kind of expectation shining within them.Sylvia took a deep breath and answered, "Yes."Liam looked at her belly again.Isabel's chubby little face was also confused.Just when Sylvia was a little uneasy and wanted to explain to them, Isabel's hand suddenly touched her belly again. She muttered, "Am I gonna have a little brother or sister too?"Sylvia let out a low hum."Yay! I'm gonna be a big sister!" Isabel's eyes lit up. She immediately rubbed her face against Sylvia's belly.Sylvia was stunned and looked at Liam again. Although he did not say anything, the corners of his mouth were curled up, and the expression on his face was obviously one of delight.Sylvia's tense mood was instantly relaxed. She smiled and hugged them in her arms, saying softly, "Isabel and Liam, no matter if I give birth to a y

Sylvia pursed her lips and looked away.Then, she followed Isabel and Liam's footsteps into the old residence. The layout and decoration inside were the same as before.After entering, she sat with them on the sofa in the living room. The little ones sat at her sides, snuggling up to her and staring at her.Isabel blabbered, "Mommy, have you been fighting with the bad guy for the past six months?"Her eyes were bright and shining with gossip and curiosity.Sylvia thought about it and answered, "Sort of.""Are you really not hurt?""I'm fine. He didn't hurt me.""That's good." The little girl touched Sylvia's belly again.Then, Liam suddenly asked, "Mommy, is the bad guy you're talking about Uncle Thomas?"Sylvia frowned.Isabel also instantly looked at her.Outside the door, the man who was about to walk in also stopped in his tracks.The air was silent for a few seconds, and she said, "Yeah."Isabel wrinkled her little brows and asked in disbelief, "How did Uncle Thomas

'However, she blamed her not being able to come back on Thomas and said that it was he who didn't let her come back. Only those two five-year-olds will be fooled by those words.'...The sky darkened.Isabel was still blabbering energetically. She only stopped when Sebastian came over and said that it was time for dinner.At the same time, Isabel and Liam took Sylvia's hand each and dragged her to the dining table.When Sylvia followed them and sat down, the tall figure of a man walked in through the door. She immediately stood up.Odell looked at her indifferently.Sylvia smiled at him. "Odell, may I stay here and have dinner with them?"When she finished, Isabel and Liam looked at him in unison. Their glares were fierce as if they would never forgive him if he did not let her accompany them for dinner.He frowned. "Sit down."Sylvia looked relaxed and immediately sat back down between the little ones.Dinner was quickly served.Odell sat opposite Sylvia. She watched him a

Isabel pouted while Liam frowned.Odell's expression darkened.The atmosphere was suddenly a little tense.Sylvia keenly perceived the change in Odell's expression and thought that he was not happy with her staying or coming back the next day. She quickly said, "Don't worry, Odell. I won't disturb you. I'll leave when they're asleep. I promise to leave before it gets dark tomorrow onward."Odell was speechless.When did he say that she was disturbing him?With anger stuck in his chest, he gave her a sidelong glance, stood up, and headed upstairs. He was gone in the blink of an eye.Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the children. "Let's go back to your room."Soon, they went back to the children's room. The room was still decorated just like before, and their bed was very cozy.Sylvia lay in the middle with one arm around each of them."Mommy, I don't want you to go," Isabel whined in a soft voice.Sylvia whispered, "Isabel, do you know about your Daddy and Aunt

Odell raised his hand to tap on the screen and sent a message. "It's nothing. I just want to inform you that Isabel and Liam need to study now. They can't waste time like before. Remember to supervise their studies when you come tomorrow morning."Sylvia replied, "Okay, I got it."Then, she sent him a cute smiling emoji.Heh.He could imagine her obedient and pleasant appearance through the screen. However, when he thought of her current mental condition, his gaze darkened slightly....The next morning, Sylvia arrived early at the old Carters' residence.The two little ones had just finished breakfast. Odell seemed to have gone out, and there were only Sebastian and a few bodyguards at home with them.When they saw her coming, they immediately ran out to welcome her.Sylvia kissed and hugged them before going to their room.Suddenly, she remembered the text message Odell sent her last night. After playing with them for a while, she asked, "Liam and Isabel, do you have any ho

A day later.At the old Carter Residence.Seeing that it was getting dark, Sylvia said goodbye to the children just like the day before, then headed for the door.Isabel and Liam both followed her to see her off.Unexpectedly, before she could walk out of the living room, the tall figure of a man came up to her.He wore a black suit topped with a long coat. His figure was straight and strong, and his appearance was as handsome as ever. However, the cold aura emanating from his body intimidated people from approaching him.Sylvia stopped and took the initiative to smile at him.Odell looked at her coldly. "Have they finished their homework today?"She had not expected him to ask this question, so she momentarily froze before replying, "Yes.""Isabel finished hers too?""Yes, it's finished.""Did she do it by herself?"Sylvia hesitated and said, "Liam helped her do it."Isabel and Liam were standing right behind them and raised their little round faces with dumbfounded expre

Not long after, Sylvia came to Odell's study with Liam and Isabel.The study was spacious and bright.Liam and Isabel sat behind his desk to do their homework on it.Sylvia moved a stool over to sit on the other side of the desk to watch them.What she had not expected was that not long after, Odell also came in.He was still wearing his suit.After he entered, he took a book from the shelf without sparing her a glance and went to the sofa to read it.It seemed that he had come in to read a book.Sylvia peeked at him twice before withdrawing her gaze to continue watching Isabel and Liam.The study was very quiet.The only occasional sound was from Liam as he taught Isabel how to do her homework.Sylvia placed her arms on the desk and rested her chin on her folded arms to stare at their cute little faces in the comfortable posture.On the sofa, the man who was reading a book raised his eyes and noticed her lounging posture at a glance.The look in his eyes softened slightly

The night passed quickly, and Sylvia came to the old Carter mansion early in the morning the next day again.Today, a tutor came to give the two little kids their lessons.Sylvia played with them all morning and accompanied them to class in the afternoon.After the teacher left, she urged them to do their homework.Liam had always been someone who would do it without any prompting, so she did not have to manage him at all. On the contrary, as soon as Isabel was asked to do her homework, she tried to think of ways to slack off, as she rolled around and acted like a spoiled child. Sylvia could not bear to be fierce to her at all, but after Liam gave her a stern look, she finally agreed to do her homework.It was only when it was time for dinner that she finished the homework assigned by the tutor with Liam's assistance.Odell also came back from work at this time.Although he was cold to her, he did not do anything to drive her away, so Sylvia stayed for dinner, put Isabel and Lia

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
