2024-10-29 19:42:56Owen's hands were clenched tightly beneath the covers.
He was so nervous, his eyes wide with anticipation, afraid of seeing Haley shake her head.Haley paused for a few seconds, lost in thought.To be honest, she hadn't quite figured out why Angela kept calling Ivan daddy.Not to mention that time Angela mysteriously made her way from preschool straight to the Winston Group...Had Ivan slipped Angela some sort of love potion?But thankfully, Angela was now talking, and Haley believed it wouldn't be long before Angela herself would reveal the reason.Regaining her focus, Haley met Owen's gaze and said softly, "Angela doesn't really understand what daddy means yet, so she got it wrong. But you know what mommy means, right? I'm not your mommy, and you have your own mommy, don't you?"At that moment, Owen's eyes brimmed with tears.He bit his lower lip in a fit of anger and said, "So what if she's around? I don't like her, that selfish woman doesn't d

He took a deep breath and said, "Formal fallacies and informal fallacies."Ivan was visibly surprised.He thought the kid was just pretending to read, but to his astonishment, the boy had truly delved into the material. Books on logic are dry and dull, even more so than mathematics; to fully grasp and understand the content was no mean feat. What was more astounding was the fact that this child was just over four years old.Closing the book, Ivan spoke in a measured tone, "Let's see if you can handle another question about logic."Todd had reached his limit. "I don't want this book anymore.""To study logic, you'll need more patience than that," Ivan said coolly, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. "The question I have for you involves your mom."The mention of his mom made Todd tense up.He paused deliberately as he spoke, "You better stay away from my mom, or else—""The question I have..." Ivan cut him off, "is exactly about that. Say you

Ivan had been killing time downstairs for nearly an hour when Haley finally emerged leisurely from Angela's room.Catching sight of him, Haley paused in surprise, "You're still up?"Ivan didn't respond immediately. It was only ten o'clock. He wasn't a child to be tucked into bed so early."I just had a chat with your son," he said in an even tone.Descending the stairs, Haley picked up scattered toys as she asked, "What did you guys talk about?""Your son is bright," he paused, considering his words before adding, "To put it mildly, the kid's a prodigy."Haley's hands froze mid-task. "How did you come to that conclusion?"The fact was, Todd had taken an immense interest in computer coding before he was even three, casually writing code that actually worked. She'd been astounded back then, promptly taking Todd for an IQ test the following day.The results had revealed Todd's intellect to be at least twice that of his peers.By the time Todd was app

This man was either foolish or a scoundrel, clearly not looking to take responsibility.Ivan was baffled.He'd been earnestly discussing his child's education, so why was she looking at him with that expression?As if he were something vile that people detest on the side of the road.Ivan: "..."Taking a deep breath, he asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing," Haley withdrew her gaze, her voice cool. "Todd is my son, and I'll make the best arrangements for him. No need for Mrs. Winston to worry. It’s getting late; Mrs. Winston should rest early."With that, she turned and ascended to the master bedroom on the second floor, gently closing the door behind her.Ivan touched his nose, feeling a mix of emotions.He was always a man of few words, so it was a first for him to have spoken so much at once. Yet, the woman didn't seem to appreciate his efforts at all.Todd, that boy, glared at him with pure hostility. Why on earth should he meddle in the kid's

The broken sobs came clearly from the master bedroom, entwining tightly around his heart, squeezing it almost to the point of stopping.Ivan pressed his lips together in silence, containing the surge of emotions. Stepping back slightly, he lowered his voice, "How often does your mom have these nightmares?"Todd appeared calm and composed, but inside, his heart was in chaos.Despite his aversion to Ivan, he couldn't help but open up to the guy.With his gaze fixed to the ground, he shared, "The year I started to grasp things, Mom used to have nightmares nearly every week. But as I grew up and she built her own life and work circle, the nightmares gradually faded. I talked to a doctor, who said waking up during a nightmare only etches it deeper into you, so I... I was afraid to intervene."It's best to forget the hardships of the past.Once wiped clean, the nightmares won't haunt you again.Standing outside the door, listening to the sobs in the master bedr

Owen bashfully lowered his head, his ears tinged with red.Ivan couldn't help but let out a snort.This kid was always trying to play the angel; when did he start getting shy?"Let's go, time to head home," Ivan said coldly.Owen's contented smile froze on his face.He gripped Haley's sleeve with a pitiful look, "Haley, do I have to go?"Haley patted his head, "I've got work soon, and Todd and Angela need to go to school. What are you going to do here all alone?"Owen's spirits dropped like a burst bubble, "So, can I come over again sometime?""You can, but—" Haley glanced at Ivan, "You need your daddy's permission. No running off on your own. If you can't do that, you won't be allowed over anymore.""I can do it! I'll make sure of it!" Owen asserted, thumping his little chest, "You can trust me, Haley. I won't sneak out again!"Ivan was speechless.He had scolded, punished, and was close to laying hands on him, but the boy never seemed to

Tears immediately filled Emily's eyes. Her lips quivered and her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, making her appear the picture of vulnerability.Taking a step forward, she lamented, "Ivan, you left the party early last night without me. In the end, it was Wayne who drove me home... Do you have any idea how inappropriate he was? He gave me a creepy look and even grabbed my hand... If I hadn't resisted, he might have tried to take me to a hotel..."Ivan finally gave her his full attention. "Why did you feel the need to resist so fiercely?"Emily was momentarily lost for words.Wasn't fighting him off the obvious thing to do? But since Ivan had brought it up, she felt compelled to give a proper response.Blinking back tears, which now streamed down her face, she said, "Ivan, I'm not that kind of frivolous woman... That night five years ago was a series of accidents I deeply regret. Why did I ever let myself be intimate with a man before marriage? What could I have d

Haley drove the kids to school. On the way, she answered a call from her assistant, “The representatives from the Winston Group have arrived? Hold them for me, I'll be at the office shortly.” Hanging up, she stepped on the gas.Todd furrowed his brow, “Mommy, are you partnering with the Winston Group?”"The Winston Group has this smart car project in the pipeline, it's pretty much a game-changer in the market, and I'm quite intrigued," Haley mentioned casually.Todd's gaze lowered.Ever since Ivan came into Mom's life and started working with her, they’ve been in close touch.Could she fall for this guy, spending so much time with him?After all, the news touts Ivan as the most eligible bachelor in Cuenca, the one every woman dreams of marrying."Todd, what's up?" Haley caught Todd's troubled expression in the rearview mirror and voiced her concern.It seemed like since yesterday, Todd had been down in the dumps, his mood noticeably off."Mom, I'm

"To have launched a coding firm at such a young age, Haley, is quite the accomplishment," complimented Nicholas as they shook hands, his tone neutral, offering polite conversation.Haley chuckled, "I owe it to friends who've lent me a hand. Without them, it wouldn't have been this smooth."A cousin helped secure the office space, and several of the programmers had been referrals from him as well.Without her cousin's support, her studio would probably still be in chaos...Nicholas considered this; it was likely more than just a hand - perhaps Haley was merely a figurehead...But as a seasoned professional, Nicholas wouldn't let his emotions show in front of a business associate. He steered the conversation back to work, "Let's discuss the preliminary design for the project, Haley...""Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz—"Haley's phone vibrated on the desk.She glanced at the caller ID—Thomas—and promptly declined the call, "My apologies, Nicholas, please continue..."

After a thorough read, she folded the document and spoke up, her voice indifferent, "Kid, who drafted this contract?""Our young master did," replied Russell, “Ms. DeRoss, if everything looks fine to you, the contract will take effect once you sign it."Haley chuckled. She was striking, exuding a bewitching charm.And yet, within the depths of her clear eyes, there was a peculiar blend of innocence and mystery.Keith felt his defenses soften and his detachment give way when he saw her smile. It was as if a hole had been poked through his armor of indifference.Realizing too late that he had been staring at Haley for a while, frustration surged within him.This woman must have used that same smile to ensnare Dad and confuse Owen..."I see a problem," she said, her smile vanishing.She leaned forward, a sense of authority emanating from her.Looking Keith straight in the eye, her lips twisted into a disdainful curve, "You should be in school at your age, not out here trying to show off.

Transmedia Tech, an internet media company.Two years ago, there were rumors of its bankruptcy, and after being acquired, it suddenly came back to life and became a leading player in the internet industry.However, there is not much information about this company on the internet.Haley glanced at Transmedia Tech's profile and said lightly, "What time did they make an appointment?""Half past two, at Pennie Coffee."After finishing her work in the morning, Haley drove straight to Pennie Coffee.She arrived ten minutes early, ordered a cup of coffee, and began to read the information on the internet.She searched for the company again, but she still couldn't find much info, and even the investor info behind it had been removed.It can be seen that this company has a lot of connections.She just didn’t know why this company would take a fancy to her newly opened studio.Haley waited for about five minutes before she heard footsteps outside the private room.She straightened her collar an

Keith thought that Haley had also planned to gain the trust of the entire Winston family through Owen. This woman's quite a schemer. Keith knew he had to be cautious......Haley picked up the kids and went home. When she was cooking dinner, she received a video call from Owen."Haley, why didn't you come to see me?" Owen's voice was still weak, "I'm so bored here in the hospital all alone. Could you come keep me company? I want to hear stories..."Haley shook the ladle in her hand, "It's too late today; I'll come see you tomorrow and bring you some cookies I've baked.""You're the best, Haley!" Owen's enthusiasm was palpable.Haley’s lips curled into a smile, "Get some rest now, and don't stay up too late, okay?""How about a goodnight kiss, then?" Owen puckered his lips towards the phone screen, a bandage still wrapped around his head, looking both pitiful and comically adorable.Laughing, Haley pressed a kiss to her phone screen and then ended the call.Carrying the freshly stewed

"The timing is too perfect, isn't it?" Keith said slowly, "Owen got in a car accident, and Haley just happened to be there and then saved him by donating her blood to him. What a coincidence!"His voice was deep and raspy, unlike a four-year-old boy.Ivan's eyes narrowed, "You think Haley staged the accident?""She had a motive," Keith pressed his lips together firmly and continued, "Surely you're aware of the bad blood between Mom and Haley...""It wasn't her," Ivan stated flatly.He had already been briefed on the accident. It was indeed premeditated. Someone had the audacity to target his son. But that someone couldn't possibly be Haley."Dad, are you so certain it isn't this woman when the investigation is still ongoing?" Keith's voice chilled, "What if it turns out to actually be Haley?""She wouldn't hurt Owen," Ivan looked at him with conviction. "She saved your brother; you shouldn't suspect her."Darkness crept into Keith's eyes.His moth

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll have someone look into it. I won't let anyone hurt Owen."After she voluntarily donated blood to save Owen, it's unlikely she'd attempt anything against him again anytime soon..." Emily's voice was husky and choked with emotion. "Now that she's gained your dad's trust, I’m sure she'll make her move... Keith, I’m really scared she’ll hurt you or Owen. I’d rather she came after me...""It won't happen."Keith ended the phone call.He turned to his assistant, Russell, and said coolly, “Check out that car accident near the DeRoss Group building. See what that was all about.”Russell nodded, “Will do, Mr. Winston.”He pulled out his phone and started making calls...Keith instructed his driver, "To the hospital."As the car glided smoothly down the road, they hadn't even reached the hospital when Russell received a call from the traffic police.The majority of the time, Maple Street is congested, w

Keith had been involved in the family business since the age of three.The company under his operation, Transmedia Tech, was a subsidiary that the Winston Group had planned to divest from two years ago.He took over the day before its planned bankruptcy.Now, after a year of shrewd management, Transmedia had become one of the top three most profitable subsidiaries of Winston Group.Keith, having just finished a meeting, felt a nagging unrest.He was usually a calm person, but his current anxiety exposed a vulnerability reflective of a four-year-old child."Young Master, you've pretty much wrapped up all your work for today. Perhaps you should head back and rest?" suggested his young assistant, Russell, with due respect.Keith shook his head.He sensed discomfort.Had something happened to Owen?He was about to reach for his phone to call Alfred when his phone began to vibrate.He glanced at it. The incoming call was from his mother.Ti

It seemed he didn't really mind the idea of marrying this woman...Haley, with her acute senses, caught Ivan's stare and quickly changed the subject.Her eyes shifted to Owen and she spoke with authoritative firmness, “It might not hurt now, but once the anesthesia wears off, you’re going to be in tears from the pain. You’ll understand then just how terrifying a car accident can be! Owen, if you ever want to see me again, just give me a call. I'll come pick you up myself. If you dare sneak out like you did today, I won't come to see you ever again!”Her face stern, she emphasized each word, her tone leaving no room for protest.Tears pooled in Owen's eyes as he looked at Haley with a plaintive expression, “I won’t ever do it again, Haley... I just missed you too much, I couldn't help myself. I just wanted you to hug and kiss me...”His big eyes were brimming with sorrow, making him look like a forlorn puppy.Haley's heart softened, and she bent down to plant

Chapter 181Ivan took a seat on the other side of the bed.He stated calmly, "Alfred, get some sports drinks, please."Alfred promptly went to carry out the request.In the hospital room, aside from the slumbering Owen, only the two of them remained, surrounded by the sterile scent of disinfectant.With a muted voice, Ivan said, "Thank you for this. Whatever you need, just tell me.""I have a soft spot for Owen. I was more than willing to save him, and…" Haley's voice faltered, a slight bitterness on her tongue, "he must have snuck out to find me. That's how he got into an accident..."Her voice trailed off, her gaze lowered, shielding all emotions.Ivan paused before saying, "He's really fond of you."A gentle smile curled on Haley's lips.Looking at Owen resting in the hospital bed, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face. She felt an immediate warmth towards him when she first saw him at the airport. Owen kept coming back

His opened his mouth, about to speak, but his phone began to vibrate in his palm, displaying Alfred's name.The sight of Alfred's name sent a sharp pain through Ivan's heart.Whenever Alfred reached out, it was always a matter of urgency.With Owen in surgery and Alfred calling, could it mean…The typically composed man's fingers trembled, requiring two attempts to tap the answer button."Sir, Owen's going to be alright!" Alfred exclaimed, choked with joy, "The surgery's nearly finished and doctors say he should wake up by tonight if all goes well!"Ivan felt a great relief.He walked briskly towards the hospital, concurrently asking, "How was the blood resolved?"He'd made calls, but a resolution couldn't have come this fast."Sir, you might not know yet, but Miss DeRoss, Owen's aunt Haley — she's got the negative blood type!" Alfred rushed out his words, "When Owen had his accident, Haley was there, she brought him to the hospital, and she volun
