Tristian wondered, "What on earth is Joseph up to?"Elianna murmured to herself, "He has a son, but the birth mother is unknown. In fact, he has long suspected if I am Myla. He is very astute, and I don't know where I showed a flaw that made him suspect me, but luckily I managed to deceive him with jokes and tricks. However... why did he doubt if there is a blood relationship between me and his son?"Is it possible?Elianna exclaimed, "That child was..."Tyson, "Nannan, what's wrong? Your face suddenly looks so unpleasant."Elianna tightly grabbed his arm, "Brother, do you remember? Five years ago, when I was taken to the hospital, the doctor said that I had signs of childbirth. It means that I gave birth to a child in the fire, and all these years, I have always thought that the child had died, but it's not true! Perhaps, that child is still alive! The child next to Joseph, maybe, is my other son!"Tyson also incredulously widened his eyes, "With such a big fire, can that child still
Zack tilted his little head and thought for a moment, then said, "What if we replace mommy with daddy?"Owen's face immediately turned cold, "I would never forgive him."Zack, "...You really are hypocritical."Owen disapproved, "How is this double standard? He is our father, he has a responsibility to protect us. If he was a strong and upright man, he wouldn't have let us be in such a dangerous situation or face this kind of dilemma. So, it's his fault for not protecting us, and I will always hate him."Zack fell into deep thought.Owen continued, "But Mommy is different. Even though she has always been strong, I am a boy and I have a responsibility to protect her! Since I was young, my third uncle taught me martial arts. He said that when I grow up, they will become old, and then it will be my duty to become the head of the Carrington family and protect Mommy. It becomes my responsibility!"After speaking, he proudly flexed his muscles on his arm and said, "So, even if martial arts t
As soon as Owen saw Elianna, he happily opened his arms and said, "Mommy! Hug me~"Elianna bent down and immediately picked Owen up in her arms, affectionately rubbing his forehead. "Did you have a good day at school today?"The parents of other children, upon seeing their child, might be more inclined to ask if their child behaved well at school.But Elianna didn't care about these.She only cared about whether her son had a good time at school.She felt that children of this age, as long as they had fun and spent their childhood carefree, it would be good.Children would grow up and mature eventually.But time does not turn back, nor does it retrace. A happy childhood only happens once, and if it is missed, there will never be a chance to make up for it when one grows up.If childhood was unhappy, it takes a lifetime to heal.Owen said, "I had a great day today! Ms. Fiona taught us a new nursery rhyme!"Elianna smiled, took his backpack with one hand, and held him in her arms with t
Zack froze.Livia said coldly, "If she didn't die, it can only mean that she doesn't care about you, doesn't love you. So, she might as well be dead."Zack's face immediately turned extremely cold and stiff.Elvis couldn't bear it in his heart and said, "Ms. Wyndham, don't say these things in front of the children."Livia innocently said, "Wasn't what I said the truth?"Zack angrily exclaimed, "You are the damn person!"He was almost completely infuriated by Livia's words, to the point where he lost his sanity!His mother was clearly still alive, but this woman kept lying to him, saying that his mother was dead. He hated her!Mommy didn't look for him because she didn't know he was still alive. He also wanted to recognize Mommy, but if that happened, Daddy would know Mommy's whereabouts. If Daddy found Mommy, then Mommy would be unhappy and not happy. He only hoped that Mommy would be happy.With a "snap".With the crisp sound of a slap.Zack's face was slapped by Livia.Elvis exclaim
Joseph took the phone, turned off the speaker, and put it to his ear. "My son is only five years old, are you the same age as him?"Elianna said confidently, "Just consider me five years old as well."Joseph's face suddenly darkened, "I was in a meeting."Elianna, "I don't care, even if you were lying in the ICU right now, you still have to coax me to sleep!"Joseph, "..."Was she cursing him?Joseph, "There should always be a limit to being willful."Elianna, "I was being stubborn, what could you do to me?"In her phone, Elianna heard Joseph's impatient tone and felt secretly delighted.She used to enjoy making things difficult for him, but unfortunately, he now has to go along with her.He had promised her.She knew he would not break his word.Joseph lifted his head and scanned the audience below. Seeing his subordinates looking very interested, he coldly said, "Do you all really want to listen?"Everyone looked at each other, and the desire to know in their eyes was about to burst
Elianna was already feeling drowsy, but as the story progressed, she became even more awake.In the phone, Joseph's voice continued.Actually, that snake was a witch in disguise. She took away the little girl's appearance and voice. She told her that she needed the power of true love. She informed the little girl that she would meet a prince in seven days, and only if she saved that prince and he agreed to marry her, could she break the curse. Otherwise, she would die once the prince left.But if the prince was willing to marry her, it would mean that the prince was her true love. The witch gave her a sword and said that this sword could slay the devil king.The little girl said that she was willing to present this sword to the prince, as long as the prince married her.In the end, the prince and the little girl completed the wedding and obtained the magical sword.The prince promised the little girl that he would bring her back to the castle once he rescued the princess. The little g
Elianna murmured, "Could it be that something unexpected happened? We had clearly agreed earlier that they would inform us once a decision was made, but now he suddenly changed his mind at the last minute."Tyson also felt something was amiss, "I also find it strange. When we were just on the call, I asked him about the result, but he hesitated and refused to say. I don't know if something has happened."The result has already come out now, but the other party refuses to disclose it.Elianna felt her heart being gripped and her liver being scratched.She said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "Brother, I always feel like something is wrong. Where is this appraisal agency located? I want to go there in person and ask for clarification."Tyson said, "Don't act rashly for now, wait and see for a few days before making a decision. However, on the phone, he also promised me that he had destroyed your sample and assured me that if it is found that you have a biological relationship with that child
On the way back, Livia sat in the carriage, looking out of the window, her mind in turmoil, silently calculating the next step.Her sixth sense has always been very keen.Her intuition told her that perhaps Zack already knew who his mother was.Zack shouted at her so confidently, saying that his mother had not died, which was a clear indication.He has always been very intelligent, much smarter than children of his age. Perhaps, he already knew who his mother was, and maybe... he had even seen Elianna with his own eyes.Since Myla did not die, but returned as Elianna, then the bastard child that Elianna brought back to the Carrington family five years ago is her other child in her womb.That child, obviously, was still alive!And Zack must have known that he had a biological brother too!In this case, she couldn't tolerate these two children in her eyes.Originally, she had thought that she would keep the child, as long as he didn't pose a threat to her, she wouldn't bother with him.
Leonard immediately let go of Joseph and walked over, saying, "Elianna, are you awake?"She didn't know when she woke up, nor how much of the conversation between the two people she had overheard.Elianna rubbed her temples, clearly feeling a bit of a headache.She instinctively pulled the thin blanket closer to her body, took a brief rest, and the alcohol seemed to sober her up a bit. Naturally, she also realized how disheveled she was at the moment.Elianna knowingly asked, "Was I drunk?"Even if she drank until she was completely drunk, she wouldn't black out. Therefore, as she woke up, she gradually began to recall that she had been drinking and afterwards, she became crazy drunk.Joseph said expressionlessly, "Yes, you were drunk. Originally, I intended to arrange a designated driver to take you home, but who knew your alcohol tolerance was so disappointing. You went crazy at my house and..."He also vomited all over him.
The butler, seeing the situation, immediately rushed over and reached out to stop him, saying, "Mr. Leonard, please wait!"Leonard suddenly angrily waved away the hand he extended, saying, "Get lost!"The butler was dismissed to the side.Leonard climbed up the stairs.Joseph hesitated for a moment and then followed closely behind, going upstairs.Second floor.Leonard saw the servant just coming out of a room, without thinking, he immediately walked over. The servant, seeing this, became somewhat alarmed and asked, "Who are you?"Leonard casually pushed her aside and pushed the door wide open.In the guest room.Elianna was lying in bed, covered with a blanket.Leonard walked over and saw that she was fast asleep, completely unconscious. He furrowed his brows slightly and reached out his hand, intending to lift the blanket.The next secondBehind him, a hand reached out and tightly grabbed his wrist
Joseph carried Elianna into the door.In his arms.Elianna, on the other hand, kept looking up at him with her face raised.Suddenly,She said proudly, "My son grew up and turned out to be so handsome!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "However, my son was the cutest when he was little!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "Baby, be good and let mommy give you a kiss quickly."She hooked his shoulders, cradled his face, and kissed him over and over again.Joseph suppressed the anger that filled his chest, but had nowhere to vent it.He was still doubting why she wanted to recognize Zack as her godson and what her true purpose was.Or perhaps, it was just another means for her to get close to him.Was she really drunk and talking nonsense, or was she pretending to be drunk to take advantage of him?If he was really drunk, what could he argue with a drunk woman for?A south-facing room on the second floo
Joseph furrowed his brows.He saw her tongue starting to knot, her eyes wide open but looking misty.Joseph said with a headache, "Sit down and don't move for now."He had just grabbed her shoulders and forcefully made her sit down, but the next second, she "sprang" up again, saying, "I want to go home!"Joseph interrupted her, "I will take you home!"He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.Elianna stumbled and took two steps, her balance wavering as her body leaned backwards.Joseph walked over and grabbed her waist, coldly saying, "Can you walk properly?"Without giving Elianna a chance to answer, he bent his right arm from her waist side and hoisted her onto his shoulder."What were you doing..."The man's strong shoulders were just pressing against her abdomen.Elianna drank alcohol and just finished eating pastas, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Her stomach was being tightly pressed, and she felt a wave of
Elianna asked, "Is the pastas done?"Joseph resealed the wine and said, "Finish your meal quickly, I will have someone take you home.""Oh!"Elianna stood up, and in that moment, her blood flowed and she felt a slight stumble beneath her feet, her body even swaying, as if she was floating lightly.Oh no...She seemed a little tipsy.That's how high-concentration brandy was.She was clearly drinking very slowly, and even added ice cubes to dilute it, but... she had already started to get tipsy.Joseph saw that she was a little unsteady and reached out his hand to support her. "Are you drunk?"Elianna pulled away from his hand, clearly repulsed by his touch. "No! I wasn't drunk."Joseph withdrew his hand and stared at her incredulously.Elianna concealed her drunken state, barely maintaining her balance as she walked towards the dining table. Upon seeing the bowl of pastas placed on the table, she approached
Elvis looked at Joseph awkwardly.Joseph said, "I could only make plain pastas."Elianna said, "Then thank you for your trouble."After speaking, she sat down on the sofa.Joseph said to Elvis, "You go first."Elvis said, "Mr. Kensington, do you need me to lend a hand?"Joseph said, "No need."It's just a bowl of assorted vegetarian pastas, without many complicated steps, just takes some time.What is this called? It is easy to ask for the gods, but difficult to send them away.The "god" he had invited could only be sent away by himself.He could certainly tell that Elianna was deliberately giving him a hard time, but since she had helped him pacify his son, it was also a favor he owed her.Elvis smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go back first. If you have any instructions, feel free to call and contact me anytime."Joseph, "You haven't rested much these past few days, go back and get some sleep early.
Zack said, "Only when Owen and I turn eight years old, can we apply to live with Mommy and Judge Uncle, in order to let that man know the truth?"Elianna nodded, "Yes."Zack nodded hesitantly.Elianna helped him lie back on the bed and gently said, "Once we've eaten, shall we have a good sleep?"Zack became nervous and asked, "Mommy, are you leaving?"Elianna said, "I promised you that you could see me anytime you wanted."Zack's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and delight, "Really?"Elianna, "Really, Mommy promised you."After speaking, she extended her hand and said, "High five."Zack and she high-fived, and then closed their eyes in peace.Elianna didn't stand up and walk out of the door until he fell asleep.Joseph stood at the door.Elianna's heart skipped a beat as she thought Joseph should be downstairs, but suddenly he appeared upstairs out of nowhere. She had no idea how well the door insul
Zack suddenly burst into silly laughter, opened his mouth, wanting to shout "Mommy". However, he didn't have enough strength to even speak, and could only weakly say, "I want to go home..."Elianna's heart trembled for a moment, feeling inexplicably melancholic.On the side, two doctors smiled helplessly and said, "little scion, you are already at home now..."They only thought that the child was extremely hungry, confused in the mind, and started speaking nonsense.Only Elianna could understand which "home" the little one was referring to.Elianna coaxed, "Would you like to eat something?"She saw a bowl of nutritious porridge on the bedside table.I was so hungry that it caused me to be unable to eat properly now, I can only drink a little nutritional porridge.It seems that this time he was determined to sever the father-son relationship with Joseph.Maybe because he had been fasting for a long time, the little guy ha
Elianna suddenly became serious and said, "Well, you shouldn't say such hurtful words either."Owen lowered his head and said in a pitiful tone, "Mommy, I know I was wrong! Next time I see him, I will definitely apologize to him."Elianna patted his little head and said, "You were brothers, good friends, so you couldn't hurt his feelings."Owen nodded obediently, "Mommy, don't worry, I know now! I will never hurt his heart again in the future."Elianna gently embraced him.Owen nestled in her arms and asked, "So... when did that guy come back?"Elianna worriedly said, "I don't know..."She didn't know when they would be able to reunite as mother and son again after this separation.Tristian said, "Nannan, don't overthink so much and rest early."Elianna nodded.The next day.Elianna took Owen back to the Carrington Group.Three days later.She had just left the company and was about to go home
