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
Yara was taken aback when she heard that Caden was going to enroll in first grade. “Caden wants to be in the same class as Cynthia, right? Why don’t we transfer Cynthia to a different school? Solaria’s Foreign Language Elementary School is the best elementary school in the world…” Yara rambled on in hopes that Serenity would enroll Cynthia and Caden in that school, and that her son could attend the school together. “We’ll move to the neighborhood near Foreign Language Elementary School by then. It’ll be easier for the kids to go to school, and we can take care of them all the time. Don’t you think so, Mrs. Valor?” Serenity looked at Yara with a smile on her face. She knew what Yara had on her mind. Solaria’s Foreign Language Elementary School was a school exclusively for aristocrats. Many prestigious families had enrolled their children there. The tuition fee was several hundred thousand dollars a year. The houses in the neighborhood nearby were even more expensive. Yara was ob
In the memorial hall of Valor Residence, Jackson looked at his father’s portrait while he confessed bitterly, “I’m sorry, Dad. I thought that I would never forgive that woman in my life, and I had wanted her to atone for her sins with her death. However, I love Serenity too much. I don’t want her to suffer. Please forgive me, Dad.” Jackson lit a candle and stayed for a while before he left. After he returned to the main house, Elliot told him that Serenity had brought Micah, Caden, and Cynthia for a small vacation. “Alright,” Jackson said without asking any more questions. Serenity and he had an agreement previously, that she shouldn’t let him know if she wanted to bring the kids to meet that woman. Jackson understood everything once she said that they were going for a short vacation. It was the best for them. Meanwhile, in the kindergarten, Frederick was the only one sitting aside with a music score in his hands during the children’s playtime. Everyone was having fun togethe
