Summer glanced at the clock. It was about time for Harry to bring Hayden back to her place.Just then, her doorbell rang. After opening the door, she saw Harry carrying Hayden on his back. Hayden was asleep, clinging to Harry’s shoulder.“He had a lot of fun today and got tired,” Harry said.Summer wanted to wake her son.“Don’t wake him up. Let him sleep a bit longer. Where is his room? I’ll put him in bed so he can continue sleeping,” Harry said.Summer hesitated. She really didn’t want Harry to step into her place, but seeing Hayden’s peaceful sleeping face, she finally said, “Come with me.”Harry followed Summer to the room she had prepared for Hayden.The room was much smaller compared to Hayden's room at the Scott residence, but despite its size, it was cozy and decorated with care by Summer.Harry carefully laid Hayden on the bed. As Hayden continued to sleep soundly, Summer took off Hayden’s shoes and covered him with a blanket. Then, she turned to Harry. “Alrig
“Please, give me a chance. Just one! For the sake of our child!” Harry pleaded while staring at Summer intently. He once thought he would never beg anyone again, but now, here he was, begging the love of his life to give him another chance.“Harry, I’m married to Nathan. Don’t you think it’s very inappropriate to say such things to me?” Summer said sternly, trying hard to break free from his grip. However, Harry tightened his grip and refused to let go. “Nathan? He’s dead. Moreover, your so-called marriage to him has no legal standing. Are you going to remain a widow your whole life for a dead man?”“Dead man?” Summer sneered. “He might be dead to you, but to me, he’s still alive, living in my heart. As long as I consider myself his wife, I am still his wife!”In an instant, Harry felt a chill run down his spine. The look in her eyes as she said those words was as if she was looking at a dead person.Nathan, who was dead, was still alive in her heart, but Harry, who was still
"So, from now on, don’t say these meaningless things to me anymore. I am Hayden's mother, but I will never be your wife! Please leave. You are not welcome here!" Summer asked him to leave."Even for Hayden's sake, can't you...""I don't want to lose myself for Hayden!" Summer replied. "As a mother, I can sacrifice a lot for my child, but not my marriage and myself. Don’t ever set foot in my house again!"Harry released her hand, looking utterly defeated. Perhaps he had completely lost her long ago. On that day when he had decided to abandon her in the psychiatric hospital, he had already lost her!-In Coco’s apartment. "You're getting married to Lucas?" Minnie asked in shock. She had come over after work to check on her friend, only to be blasted with this explosive news."Yes," Coco replied, blushing. "But... not right away. It will be in a year. I want to buy a house, get Leia here, and rehabilitate my leg first. I hope I can walk better by then."Minnie looked at her f
"If not, what else could it be? Did you think I was planning to call off the wedding?" Coco joked.However, after she said that, Lucas's expression changed. He asked with a slight tremble in his voice, "You... you wouldn't, would you?"Coco was completely taken aback by his reaction to her joke. How insecure must this man feel? Feeling guilty, she quickly reassured him, "Of course not, Lucas. I won't call off the wedding. I’m going to be Mrs. Gomez no matter what!” He finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yes, you're going to be Mrs. Gomez."Minnie, standing nearby, shivered exaggeratedly. "Could you two at least pity us single folks when you're being all lovey-dovey, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez?"Coco blushed at her friend's words. "Minnie!""Didn't you just say you're going to be Mrs. Gomez? Since I'll have to call you that eventually, I might as well start now," Minnie teased with a laugh.Lucas stopped their banter. "Alright, dinner is ready. Let’s eat first.""Great!" M
Coco was deeply touched.After they went back to her apartment that evening, Coco thanked Lucas and expressed her desire to bring Leia to Solaria sooner. Although she had been sending money to Leia ever since returning to Solaria, the elderly woman lived alone in a remote village, and life couldn't be that great. Without Leia, she might not have survived."I'll send someone to pick her up. Just give me the exact address," Lucas said."Okay," Coco nodded.Although the house didn't need any renovation, it still needed some cleaning and some new furniture. Over the following days, Coco was busy with cleaning and organizing the house. Even though Lucas had arranged for help, Coco still wanted to do things herself. When Lucas asked why, she smiled and said, "Maybe I feel like I can still do a lot this way.""You've always been able to do a lot. I just want to make things easier for you.”"I know, but I want to do more things," she replied."If you really want to do more, how a
There was still a slight difference in her walking compared to a completely normal person. Anyone who looked closely could notice it.Coco felt many curious, surprised, and even mocking glances thrown at her. She instinctively wanted to back out, but she knew she had to face it. If she couldn't handle it now, how could she stay by Lucas's side in the long years to come? There would only be more challenges in the future.People came up to greet Lucas, and when they looked at Coco, Lucas introduced her as his fiancée. When he said the word ‘fiancée’, not only was the person surprised, but even Coco was taken aback. She had thought he would introduce her as his girlfriend. "Well, I hope to attend your wedding soon," the person said after a moment of surprise."Sure," Lucas replied.Soon, the word spread around the venue that the woman beside Lucas was his fiancée.The news wasn't entirely surprising. Over the past year, there had been rumors about Lucas’s missing girlfriend, an
After Lucas walked away, Coco took out her phone and started scrolling through her messages. Suddenly, she heard a voice nearby. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gomez's fiancée?"Coco looked up and saw a young woman in a pink dress standing before her with two of her companions. Coco recognized the woman as Christine Spears, a rising star in the entertainment industry known for her affluent background. Her family business was quite prominent in Solaria. Despite being an heiress, she chose to pursue an entertainment career. With her sweet looks and excellent resources, she had quickly amassed a large following.Coco’s intuition told her that Christine's approach was more than just a casual inquiry. "Yes, I am Lucas's fiancée," she replied confidently as she stood up."Really? That's quite unbelievable," one of Christine's companions remarked."Yeah. I thought Mr. Gomez's girlfriend would be someone stunning," the other chimed in.Coco frowned at their blunt remarks.Christine quickl
Since Christine was just an outsider and a stranger, Coco had no intention of explaining anything to her."I don't see why I need to explain anything to you," she said coldly."You must be feeling guilty. If there's nothing to hide, why won’t you share it with us?""Exactly!"The two companions sneered at Coco.Christine added, "You know, it's not just us who are curious. When Mr. Gomez introduces you to the media, many people will be curious about you. Even though Mr. Gomez isn't in the entertainment industry, the news media and the public pay a lot of attention to him. Since you're his fiancée, clearing up the details of your disappearance early on would prevent unnecessary rumors and attacks.""There's no need for you to worry about that, Ms. Spears." Coco, tired of their harassment, turned to leave and find Lucas.Just as she was about to walk away, one of Christine's companions deliberately stuck out her foot, tripping Coco.Thud!Coco crashed to the ground.The woman sm
