Since it was a Monday, there weren't a lot of people at the amusement park.They had company, so Violet called Annabel along as well."Annabel?" Lucy looked at her from head to toe. "You're still alive? I thought you would've ended your own life. You got rejected 1001 times by that jerk, Maverick, after all."Annabel didn't mind it that much. She said, "That's not the right number. It's the 1586th time now. Also, don't call Maverick a jerk!"Violet looked at Annabel and Lucy. They were both brats. Now that they were together, they would be causing quite the scene.But that wasn't a bad thing. Lucy would stop targeting Violet then.Pointing at the Giant Swing, Whitney said, "Wow! I want to see Daddy and Mommy ride this!"Violet's expression darkened. She had the urge to get a DNA test with her daughter. She wondered if she had taken the wrong baby home from the hospital."Your mommy is scared." Carl seemed to be gloating.Violet challenged him, "And you're not?"Carl raised an
Violet's cooking skills were great, but she didn't like being in the kitchen. Back home, Whitney was always the one in charge of cooking.While Violet was cooking the pasta, Carl couldn't help but scoot over. The smell was just heavenly!"Are you sure you're just cooking pasta?" Carl asked.Violet rolled her eyes. "Of course. Do you think I'm cooking a full-course meal for you at this hour?""Then please make a full-course meal for lunch tomorrow." Carl didn't let the chance slip."I'm just a bodyguard.""If you do extra work, I'll pay you extra too.""I don't want it anymore.""What's up with you?""Nothing's up with me. I just don't like being ordered around by you. Do you have a problem with that?"With that, Violet drained the pasta. After adding the sauce, she took it to the dining room.After taking a bite, Carl gave Violet a thumbs-up. "You'll be in charge of all my meals from now on.""No way!" Violet refused. "Just ask Marina for that. You keep praising her cooking
Violet's work desk was right next to Carl's. This was not a wise decision.Her face was constantly blushing. This was because Carl would look at her with a suggestive gaze from time to time. It was as if he pampered her to no end.Also, the couch was placed in front of her, catching her attention. Violet couldn't help but remember the lovey-dovey scene on the couch between her and Carl that day.Finally, Violet couldn't stand it anymore."Where are you going?" Carl asked."The bathroom," Violet said coldly."What a coincidence." Carl stood up. "I'm going too."Violet was exasperated. She asked, "Are you worried that I might run away?""I just miss the good old times going into the bathroom with you." Carl's voice was cold, but he sounded like he was teasing her."You two are so good at finding places to show off your relationship!" Maverick's voice suddenly rang out."Violet darling, did you know that Carlie has a private bathroom in the office? It's a hundred times more luxu
Usually, Violet would stick with Whitney 24/7. But today, they had been separated for more than 10 hours. They missed each other terribly."Mommy!" Whitney threw herself into Violet's arms. "I missed you so much!""I missed you too!" Violet planted kisses on Whitney's face.Carl asked, "Didn't you miss me at all?"Whitney smiled at Carl, saying, "When I think of Mommy, of course, I'll think of Daddy too!""You're such a sweet-talker. Come here. Let me hug you."Startled, Violet instinctively ran back to her room with Whitney in her arms. She didn't want Carl to have anything more to do with her precious daughter.Lucy lowered her head, thinking. "According to reliable intel, Isabelle the faker has returned to the country for real."But at this critical moment, Violet and Uncle Carl seem to be in a rocky relationship. Since I'm around, I'll try my best to get Violet and Uncle Carl together!"Thinking that, Lucy ran back to her room. She dialed Elsa's number in secret."Lucy, h
"I … I'll leave right after I've made the hangover tea, okay?" Annabel said.Stepping forward, Maverick flung the mug away. Then, he shouted at Annabel, "That woman on my bed can do everything, so you're not needed here!"Annabel, if you don't listen to me, I'll send you out of the country. You won't ever be able to come back again!"Annabel was startled. Her pretty little face turned pale, and her huge eyes were filled with tears that refused to fall."I'll leave," Annabel hastily said, "Mavey, remember to drink the tea." The smile remained on her face."Maverick." Violet couldn't stand by and watch any longer. "How can you treat your sister like this?""It's none of your business." Maverick was rude to Violet as well. "What's the matter? Carlie can't please you anymore, so you're here for me now?"Without another thought, Violet smashed the cake in her hands onto Maverick's face.Maverick's handsome face was instantly covered in cake. Even his features weren't recognizable.
Timothy sat on the couch. When he saw that Carl and Nathaniel had arrived, he got up. He ordered, "Isabelle, serve the tea."Violet watched in secret. Isabelle's every movement was elegant and noble.Violet was once again convinced that Isabelle was truly a flawless woman."Prodigies of Zeloth, it has been about three years since we last met, hasn't it?" Smiling, Timothy asked.Nathaniel was polite. "You've been busy, Mr. Knight. It's an honor getting to meet you even once every three years."Carl smiled. He didn't say anything, but he did glance at Nathaniel in disdain.Nathaniel was the only descendant of the Simmons. Even though he wasn't a Simmon, he would eventually inherit the Simmons' property in the future.The Simmons were powerful, and they were on par with the Walkers. Their hidden riches weren't too far behind the Walkers, either.But the two families had been enemies since the last generation. Now, the newer generation continued treating each other like enemies.V
Nathaniel and Violet waited outside the ward. Noticing the time, Nathaniel said, "Why don't I send you home first?"Violet glanced at Carl. He had his back to her throughout the process."Okay," Violet replied. She left the hospital with Nathaniel.Nathaniel drove at a good speed. He didn't go fast, unlike Carl who would always go beyond the speed limit.Violet used to tease Carl for being a murderer on the road, for he never obeyed traffic rules.Violet lowered her head, thinking. "Now that Carl and Violet are in the ward together, they must be rekindling their feelings for each other. They will probably get together again soon."Then, Carl would have nothing to do with Violet the fake fiancée anymore.It was just a game, and they played the game by acting. But Violet accidentally invested too much into the act.Noticing the upset look in Violet's eyes, Nathaniel felt his heart ache terribly. He pulled up at the side of the road.Violet wanted to ask Nathaniel what was going
Violet sent Whitney back to the children's room to sleep. Looking at Violet, Lucy said, "Go shopping with me at the mall tomorrow." It was an order.Violet thought, "Lucy is completely identical to Carl when she orders people around!""But I have to go to work tomorrow." Violet didn't think she could get the day off.Lucy behaved as if she were announcing something she was proud of. "I've already told Uncle Carl about it. Just come with me tomorrow."Violet was speechless.Whitney asked, "Can I come along?""Of course, you have to!" Lucy replied matter-of-factly. "I'm going shopping to get you stuff in the first place. You'll be part of the Walkers soon. You should stop wearing those rags.""Those aren't rags." Violet was indignant. "They cost a few hundred dollars per outfit!"Violet even thought, "Children's clothes are so expensive these days! Those evil merchants are taking advantage of the children!"Wait, I think I overlooked the main point! What right do they have to de
"Uh-huh." Violet reached out and hugged Carl. There was deep affection in her voice."I've conceived two children for you, and you've been pretty nice to me recently. Who else should I marry if not you?"Great joy rose in Carl's eyes after listening to Violet.After all the ordeals they had gone through, she finally agreed to marry him!Violet chuckled when she saw Carl unconsciously getting excited. Her heart was filled with satisfaction.She said on purpose, "But if you're not serious about marrying me, I won't be serious about marrying you too. We can get a divorce once I give birth to the baby. How about that?""I won't let you leave me." Carl held Violet tightly, looking anxious as if she would disappear all of a sudden.His heart was satisfied when he felt her warmth in his embrace. He lifted her up and spun around in excitement. He looked like a kid who got candies, which stunned Maverick as he entered.Maverick then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Carl, this
"Vi, promise me you won't risk yourself ever again. Please trust me no matter what happens." Carl hugged Violet in fear.Violet nodded and leaned on his shoulder. She said softly, "Carl, if you hadn't shown yourself on television, I wouldn't have fallen for Benilio's trap easily. Then, Silvia wouldn't have kidnapped me.""Yes, it's my fault." Carl tightened his arms around Violet. "Vi, I've been wanting to ask you something. I don't know if you would give me an answer.""What?" Violet rested in his arms. She was getting sleepy after using her wits and energy against Silvia."Help me keep these two keys. When I need it, help me open a box." Carl took out two heart-shaped keys like a magician, giving them to Violet.Violet took the keys and looked at them carefully. She couldn't find anything special about them. She nodded and agreed to Carl's request."Okay, anything else?" Violet was getting more sleepy."There's something more, but I can't tell you about it right now." Carl loo
"Carl, I'll settle things with you next time."Silvia knew she would be at a disadvantage if she continued fighting with Carl. Without waiting for Carl to strike, she took out a poison gas bomb with itching powder added to it.She threw it at Carl. The poison gas bomb landed on the floor and exploded immediately. As Carl backed off quickly, Silvia used the opportunity to escape in a flash.Carl only went after Silvia when the gas dissipated. Silvia had already reached the entrance of the restaurant with one injured leg. She took a pregnant lady hostage and left quickly."Contact the Zuissian police and lock down the city. They must catch Silvia and save the pregnant lady."Carl came out from the kitchen, and Maverick immediately went up to him and told him about the current dangerous situation.Carl made a quick decision and asked Maverick to deal with it accordingly. Then, he looked around and asked for Whitney's and Mick's whereabouts."Whitney and Mick? Did they come here?" M
Benilio asked for the votes to be finalized and combined with the judges' choices. He was about to announce Carl as the winner when the crowd suddenly erupted.It turned out that a plump foodie who only ate Carl's walnut cake suddenly collapsed. Her foaming mouth indicated that she was poisoned."What? Who would be so evil to kill us?" The foodies were horrified. Some of them screamed and became restless.The restaurant went into chaos at once. Amidst the mess, a cold smile formed on Silvia's lips. She quickly snuck into the kitchen where Carl was at."Arrest those troublemakers and send them to the police. Keep calming the crowd down." Maverick watched as Silvia sneaked away with a smile on his face. He gave his orders calmly.The Walkers' bodyguards, who had been on standby, received Maverick's instructions. They immediately contacted the Zuissian police headquarters and asked for police cars to take away the troublemakers.They also got Carl's and Nathaniel's walnut cakes exam
The plump woman stared at her watch gloomily. Her expression turned uglier the more time had passed. A few female foodies wanted to chat with her, but they backed off once they met her gaze.Soon, there was an empty space surrounding the plump woman that separated her from the crowd.Maverick and the Demon King stood on the upper floor, looking at the situation downstairs with their eyebrows furrowed hard."Mr. Walker, I think I found Silvia." Maverick took a photo of the ground floor and sent it to Carl."Since she showed up here, it means she must've everything ready where Annabel is kept at. Our men are rushing over to Annabel. You must ask our men to protect Violet, too. I suspect that …""They've found Annabel. She's safe and sound. But there was a pool of blood there. They don't know whose blood it was." Carl cut Maverick off.He continued, "Maverick, I've done everything to keep Violet safe."All you have to do is to keep an eye on the foodies. There are real foodies amon
"Demon King, I'm right outside the door. Come out for a second. I've something to give you." Maverick thought about it and called the Demon King.At that time, the Demon King had just slightly recovered from the blow of losing Annabel. He frowned a little when he received Maverick's sudden phone call.His fingers trembled, and he really wanted to reject the call. But when he thought of his beloved Annabel, he picked up."Huh?" The Demon King heard Maverick as soon as he picked up. He furrowed his eyebrows."You're outside? What about Annabel? You didn't come with her?"The Demon King was obviously disappointed. He thought by speaking with Maverick on the phone, he could hear Annabel's voice a little.Violet sat right beside the Demon King. She curled her lips when she saw the Demon King sulking like a kid.She thought that the Demon King and Annabel would make a pretty good couple if there was no Maverick. The Demon King had never dated anyone, and he would treasure Annabel."Y
"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
"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
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
