Over at Violet's place, Maverick glanced sheepishly at Annabel next to him after he ended the call.Annabel was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. She seemed to dislike him lying to Carl just now."Annabel, I only said it to urge Carl to come back to Vi quickly."Think about it. Vi is pregnant with Carl's baby, and Carl loves Vi a lot."If they're together, they'll be good to the baby and live with their children happily ever after. Don't you think so?"Maverick inched closer to Annabel and grinned shyly.Annabel didn't respond."Annabel, you said before that birth parents are the best in the world. I'm just following what you said."Seeing that Annabel kept silent, Maverick tried to persuade her, "Annabel, you …""Maverick, you're so annoying!" Violet cut him off and looked gently at Annabel."Annabel, it's true that Maverick broke your heart in the past. But the past is in the past."The Maverick now likes you a lot. If you're willing, it won't hurt to give him a chance
"A death wish?" Nathaniel turned around when he heard that, facing his back toward Carl. He let his sadness swallow him.He had long reached a dead end the moment he knew Violet was in love with Carl.Yet Carl said he wanted to show Nathaniel what a death wish meant?He smiled wryly. He was in love with Violet, who loved another man. He already had a death wish, and he would willingly walk to his death for Violet. But Carl dared to threaten him?Did Carl think death was the cruelest punishment for Nathaniel?No, absolutely not!He couldn't stand them being happily in love. The cruelest punishment was that he had to see how happy they were while pretending he wasn't in love with Violet.He would be jealous of their happiness but bitter if they were sad.His feelings depended on Violet and Carl's relationship. He couldn't live as he did before. He had nothing to look forward to and be happy about.Nathaniel loved Violet. He loved her stubbornly. He wouldn't change his mind even
"You can cook it for anyone!"Violet turned her face away. She still remembered Carl's first omelet. It was the worst dish in the world, and in no way was she eating that again."I only cook for you," Carl replied stubbornly. He held Whitney with one arm and reached out the other, forcefully pulling Violet into his embrace."Come on, it's time to make omelets for Whitney and my dear Vi." Carl chuckled happily.Mick trailed behind as he watched as Carl held Whitney in his arms. Whitney smiled happily, and Mick smiled, too.He would give Whitney all the happiness she wanted, no matter at present or in the future.Nathaniel walked closely alongside Mick.He had been gripping his fists hard with hatred from the moment Carl bent down and kissed Violet. He was oblivious to his fingernails digging into his palm, blood dripping on the floor.If not for Kiera noticing him early, he was still staring blankly in the direction where Violet and the others had left. She took her first aid ki
Whitney was worried for Carl, but Carl had a confident smile on his face.His determined expression made Nathaniel frown. Suddenly, Nathaniel thought of something, and a smile crept on his lips."Mr. Walker, I'm sure you want the results to be fair and square instead of people trying to flatter us on purpose, right?" Nathaniel asked with a raised eyebrow."Of course," Carl answered without hesitation."Then, let's get the local people to randomly choose 20 foodies. If more than one-third of those foodies like your dish, I'll admit defeat."Nathaniel's determined gaze annoyed Carl, and the mockery in his eyes angered Carl even more."Okay," Carl agreed quickly. He held Whitney in his arms, rushing to Violet's side. He pulled Violet into his arms."Vi, you don't want to taste my cooking either, do you?" Carl asked, seemingly sad."It's not because of that." Violet shook her head and continued, "But I've become pickier these days. There's a lot of things I dislike, for example, gr
"I'm not going back with you, Dr. Quartley. You still have important patients in Zeloth, so you have to return. "I've prepared your passport and all the documents needed. If you have nothing else over here, I can ask my men to send you back immediately."Nathaniel looked away. "Vi hasn't given birth yet. I need to stay and look after her. I won't leave."Huh. He would ask his men to send her back?Didn't that basically mean she was being kicked out from here?Kiera's heart sank as her beautiful eyes stared at Nathaniel stubbornly.Did he hate seeing her that much?Even when she hadn't even done anything to Violet?"Mr. Walker, it seems like I can no longer take care of Violet." Kiera forced a smile as she felt sad in her heart."No, who says you can't?" Carl raised his eyebrows. He insisted that Kiera stayed. "If I want you to stay, no one can take you away.""I'll definitely take her away." Nathaniel looked at Carl with a sharp gaze."You can't." Carl stepped closer and ch
Whitney, who had been hiding in the dark, curled her lips when she saw the interaction between the two.She grinned. She would matchmake Nathaniel and Kiera so that they could leave Violet and Carl alone. This was the life Whitney wanted."Ms. Quartley, keep up the good work. I'll create more opportunities for you guys," Whitney swore to herself."Whitney, I'll help you." While Whitney was thinking about ways to get Kiera and Nathaniel together, Mick's calm voice sounded next to her ear.Whitney knitted her eyebrows and looked to the side. She pouted in dissatisfaction."You'll help me? Do you know how to pursue a girl? Do you have previous experience that can help me bring Mr. Nathaniel and Ms. Quartley together?"Whitney put her hands on her hips like a spoiled girlfriend."I don't." Mick's gaze dimmed. But when he saw Whitney's smile, he strengthened his resolve."But I'll help you with everything I've got. Besides, although I've never pursued a girl, my dad has plenty of ex
"Kiera, I won't give up." Nathaniel strengthened his resolve after looking at the pictures."What's the point?" Kiera disagreed."There's plenty of nice people in the world. Even if you don't like me, there are so many excellent women out there. Why can't you find someone among them?""I can't. I can't find anyone else like Vi ever again." His voice became lower as if he was caught up in his memories."I've decided from the first moment I saw her. Ever since I met her when we were young, I was bound to protect her for the rest of my life. I'll be her knight in shining armor forever.""Kiera, I've made these desserts for Vi, and I need your help to give it to her. I'll drive there right now. You just have to come out for a moment." Nathaniel's pleading voice came from the phone. Kiera couldn't bear to refuse. She let him drive over and agreed to take the desserts.Nathaniel was overjoyed and immediately left in his car.He was in a hurry. He didn't realize that after he left, a
"Carl, there are many special ways to propose. You can look it up on the Internet or ask for help from someone more experienced in love. For example, Ray from our company is pretty good at it." Annabel continued to suggest.Carl's face darkened even more when he heard that.Ray didn't even know how to pursue a woman properly. Yet he knew how to propose to someone? Quit joking!"Annabel, you don't have to worry about this. You just have to focus on recuperating," Carl said bossily and hung up.Annabel snickered when she heard the call was disconnected.Oh, Carl. He was undeniably good in business, but when it came to women …"It really is true that genius men can be complete fools in some other ways." Annabel sighed.Maverick had just finished carrying out Carl's orders. He got the stuff ready and was about to tell Annabel that he was going to send the stuff to Carl. It was at this moment that he heard Annabel's random comment."Annabel, are you talking about me?" He grinned. He
