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
"Ms. Walker, Ms. Cooper." Isabelle greeted them.Isabelle wore a socialite-style outfit, like always. She was also always seen with high heels. She attracted attention everywhere she went.It was the truth. Isabelle was so charming and attractive that everyone would fall for her.But when she was courting Carl back then, she had invested a lot of effort and time. In the end, they still broke up.Lucy's attitude was foul. She asked, "Violet, do you know her?"Violet guessed that Lucy must have been on terrible terms with Isabelle in the past.But Violet didn't like Isabelle that much, either.She still hadn't figured out the truth behind the gunshot yesterday. But Violet had a feeling that Isabelle wasn't as innocent as she seemed."She's Timothy's secretary. We've met before," Violet said in a low voice. She considered it a greeting toward Isabelle.Isabelle didn't expect Violet to treat her so coldly.Logically speaking, rivals would get worked up when they saw each other. T
