“I…I’m not simply walking away. Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t forgive me? I would leave, then. On top of that, we had a one-month agreement,” Lisa argued. Without any reason, she felt guilty under Terry’s glare. “It’s true, but why would you give up after a month? Can’t you keep pestering me? Am I not worth your time?” Terry growled. He felt an indescribable annoyance after hearing Lisa say that she would form a new family with another man. He couldn’t imagine how he would feel if he saw her calling another man affectionately and his child calling another man daddy. Lisa was dumbfounded at his outburst. Did he mean that she should keep pestering him? “I…I don’t understand what you mean by that. Can you make it clear?” Lisa mumbled. Terry took a deep breath and glared at Lisa. “Lisa, I want you to keep pestering me for the rest of your life. You can’t walk away from me no matter what!” Lisa was shocked, and she was at a loss for words. His words kept replaying in her mi
Glynnis was on the phone with Mrs. Tucker, explaining last night's incident. “Don’t worry about it, there will be another chance. I do want your daughter to be my daughter-in-law. What happened last night was an accident…” Before she could finish her words, she heard her butler greeting Terry. “Mr. White, why did you bring so many people? Is there anything wrong?” “Get lost!” Terry said coldly. Glynnis looked up to see her son with his men. Her expression slightly changed, and she quickly said to Mrs. Tucker on the other end of the phone, “Mrs. Tucker, I’m sorry. Something has come up. I’ll talk to you later.” After ending the call, Glynnis asked her son, “Terry, why did you bring so many people to my place?” Terry sat on the sofa and ordered his men to wait outside. The men went out, and only Terry, Glynnis, and the butler were left in the living room. Glynnis gestured to the butler, and he left too. Terry casually flipped through the newspaper that Glynnis was readi
Glynnis was furious, and she pointed at Terry with trembling hands. “You! Have you forgotten who raised you? Would you stand here if it wasn't for me? How could you do this to your mother?!” “I’ve always known that I’m nothing more than a pawn to you. I was a pawn back then, but I’m not your pawn now. I have no choice but to do so if you still treat me as your pawn.” “What…what do you mean?” Glynnis asked weakly. “I thought that you understood it when I came in just now, Mom. Do you want me to make it clearer for you?” Terry scoffed. “I had never expected you to drug me one day. Do you still think of me as the little boy who was once in your control?” “I’m doing this for your good. What’s wrong with the Tuckers? Once we have a marriage alliance with them, our family will be the top in Latveria! What can Lisa give you? What does she have? She’s like a joke to me. How can someone like her be worthy of marrying you?!” Glynnis didn’t beat around the bush anymore. Terry looked at
Then, Lisa added tentatively, “You’re actually still in love with me, right? But, you’re too embarrassed to forgive me so easily…so, you had hoped that I would still pester you after a month?” Terry stared at Lisa. Although it was true, did she have to say that in his face? “Am I right?” Lisa pushed on. Terry turned around. He was afraid that he would lose it again if he kept looking at her eyes. “Tell me! Am I right?” Lisa moved in front of him again and continued to stare at him while holding his arms. “That’s what you meant, right?” She always had the ability to corner him. “Yes.” He admitted quickly and went to check the documents that were piled up on his desk. Lisa was overjoyed. Terry had admitted it. He still had feelings for her all along even though she had hurt him a lot previously. She approached his desk. “Terry, how long does it take for you to forgive me? A few months? Half a year? The baby will be born if it’s half a year, that’s too long. Give me a roug
Terry had actually forgiven Lisa the moment she cried on the street when she was trying to retrieve the deleted photos. He was too afraid of losing Lisa again. He was also afraid that she was doing it for the sake of her child and that she didn’t love him deeply enough.He didn’t want to easily forgive her because he hoped that she could pester him and love him more. -In the evening, Terry reserved a private room in a well-known restaurant in Jorvik to treat Lisa’s parents to dinner. Austin and Hersha were finally at ease when they saw Lisa beaming. They also cleared off their misunderstanding toward Terry after Lisa explained everything to them. Austin took the initiative to raise his glass. “Terry, we’re sorry for misunderstanding you. You had done a lot for Lisa, and she got to survive because of you.” Terry’s eyes dimmed slightly. What had happened was also an unforgettable pain for him. “She wouldn't have encountered such things if it wasn’t for me.” “Everything
Terry rubbed his temples and looked at Lisa. “Are you going to come into my room every day to bond with me?” “That’s a great idea if you’re willing!” Lisa said. Terry moved closer to her and pinned her against the cabinet. “Lisa, do you even see me as a man?” When they were sleeping at night, Lisa would subconsciously touch him, and her legs that were resting over the maternity pillow would straddle him sometimes. “Never,” Lisa answered. “You really do feel safe with me, huh?” Terry laughed. “Yeah, only with you.” For a moment, Terry was stunned at her words.“By the way, what happened yesterday? Did you take something you shouldn’t have?” Lisa asked naively. Terry’s body stiffened. “Do you really want to know?” It was not easy for him to ask that. Lisa nodded. It didn’t matter if it was good or bad, she wanted to know everything about Terry. She badly wanted to know what had happened to him yesterday!“I drank something that I shouldn’t have. Something was adde
“I know that she was extremely against us dating.” Lisa bit her lip and said, “If she never accepts us, would you—” Terry cut her off, “I’m not a pawn anymore. I know what’s best for me, and I can make my own decision. My mother won’t be bothering you for the next few years. I won’t let her harm our child. You will have a smooth pregnancy.” Lisa let out a sigh of relief. “From now onward, I’ll be by your side even if your mother is against us. You’re the one who wanted me to follow you around and never give up our relationship.” Terry chuckled softly. Although he was once depressed because of Lisa, she could also cheer him up when he was in a bad mood. “Alright. You’re the one who promised that you would stay by my side. I will never forgive you if you fail to do that one day,” Terry said. -“Yannick! Who are you to reject me when I don’t even mind that your mom has been imprisoned!” A girl said that with arrogance.There was a hint of anger as she was ashamed of being reje
The girl’s expression changed, and Serenity added, “By then, you will also be a person who has been imprisoned. Yanny’s mom was imprisoned because of a wrongful accusation, but you will be imprisoned because of what you did. I did just witness you threatening him.” The girl felt afraid all of a sudden, and she stomped away in a huff. After all, she was only a spoiled nine-year-old kid. Serenity turned toward Yannick and ruffled his hair. “Were you going to agree to her demands if I didn’t pass by just now?” Yannick kept quiet as he agreed with Serenity’s words. “You mustn’t forget that you still have me no matter what. I know you want to protect your mother, but you’re still young. So, you can just tell me when you run into any trouble. I’ll figure it out for you, and we’ll protect your mother together. Okay?” Yannick's eyes reddened and he nodded after a pause. Serenity looked at the time and it was almost time for her appointment with the principal.“Alright, go back to
