Henry paused as he ate, but only briefly. "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" he asked."I feel very sorry for what I've done to you," Cliff answered. "Now, I'd like to tell you everything I've been keeping to myself. Otherwise, I fear I won't get to tell you about it."Suddenly, Henry felt a lump in his throat.Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many partings and deaths recently. And this was why he couldn't bear to listen to stuff like this.He said, "If you really feel sorry, then do your best to survive, even if it's only for another one or two months longer. It's still better than saying words that won't change anything.""Then, could you perhaps forgive me? Could you call me 'Dad'?" Cliff's eyes were brimming with hope as he stared unblinkingly at Henry.Henry was dazed. Then, he said flatly, "Eat up. Stop talking."Cliff felt his hopes getting crushed. A flicker of disappointment and a forlorn look flashed across his face.It had been years, after a
"Mr. Harry, I've looked into it. From the results, it seems your wife has indeed been pregnant for about a month," the other party said honestly.Harry gulped, his brows creasing further.He was right. Shirley was pregnant!He didn't know whether or not the baby's presence would be of help to him. Still, it was an uplifting piece of news."Alright, got it. Thanks." Harry's tight lips finally curved into a smile.An hour later, he arrived at the Clark residence.The guards at the entrance saw him, but they didn't intend to open the gates for him. This implied that they must've received some sort of instruction from Shirley.Hence, Harry didn't argue with them. He simply took out his phone and called Shirley.However, she didn't pick up. So, he could only text her, saying, "Shirley, could you come out and meet me?"I really have something important to discuss with you!"If you refuse to come out, the only thing I can do is announce to everyone else that you're pregnant."Harry
Henry hadn't been too cruel with Jasper. Compared to some of Jasper's actions, Henry had gone easy on him.Jasper interrupted, "Shut up! If what you said was true, why hasn't my mother come looking for me? Why has no one ever mentioned this to me?""How do you expect her to find you? Do you think she would dare to do that?" Henry smirked. "You can't possibly imagine what she'd been through all these years."There are large burns on her face, and she got them while saving your father. But unfortunately, your father didn't praise her for this. Instead, he distanced himself because of her ruined looks."After the divorce, she couldn't find any good jobs because of her disfigurement. She usually worked in cleaning jobs or picked up scraps to sell."She died of an illness recently. Yet even in her dying breath, she still didn't dare to see you. However, you should have received birthday gifts from her over the years, right?" Henry said. He'd only learned this from people who had deal
Jasper turned away coldly. "Do you think I could just let this go? To me, this is not something to be taken lightly."Thomas sighed helplessly. "Then, what do you want?"Truth be told, Jasper didn't know what he wanted.On the one hand, he felt guilty about his biological mother. On the other hand, his other mother treated him well when he was younger.If it weren't for today's revelation, he never would have thought that his biological mother was someone else. Moreover, the woman who brought him up was his father's mistress."Do you know she died not long ago?" Jasper didn't answer and gave Thomas a dark look.Thomas glanced at the urn on the table.To be honest, he had lost all feelings for this woman. He didn't feel anything when he heard the news.Jasper, of course, blamed his father for this."What did she do wrong? Why did you let her suffer? Does she deserve a miserable life just because you lost feelings for her?"This would ruin the relationship between the father-an
Moreover, Henry didn't want to tell Natalie about their divorce yet.He knew that what he was doing was selfish. But he simply wanted to take better care of her and for them to spend time together."So, we're married." Henry crouched down to Natalie's eye level.This was the first time Henry could take a closer look at Natalie after he found her.But when their gazes met, Henry felt that something was off.She looked the same. But why did he feel that something was different?Was it because Natalie had lost her memory? Was that why she felt different than usual?Henry was confused. But this was the only answer he could come up with."I've forgotten who I am ... But I've been looking for someone who knows me." Natalie took out her phone. "Are you the one who has been calling me all this time?"Henry saw her phone and doubts washed away instantly.What was he thinking? She was definitely Natalie.If she wasn't Natalie, who else could she be? And why would she be holding Natali
Natalie's body stiffened and she felt shivers running down her spine. However, she forced herself to remain calm on the surface. "I told you, I won't drink."Just as Natalie was about to stand up, Jasper firmly pressed down on her shoulder."Who are you to defy me? I'm telling you, I didn't let you stay here so that you could eat and drink as you like."This is for you to atone in Henry's place! Do you know what I'm getting at?"Jasper pinched Natalie's chin, preparing to force the drink into her mouth.Natalie's entire body tensed up.She naturally couldn't drink this. If fate had really bestowed another child upon her, she must do everything in her power to protect this child.So, she began to struggle hard while biting down on her lips. Her eyes shone with determination.Jasper hated people who didn't obey him. He tightened his hold on Natalie's chin. "Open your mouth!"Natalie glared at him with hatred. She suddenly opened her mouth and bit down hard on his hand.Jasper w
Fortunately, Jennifer was taken to the hospital in time, and her condition didn't escalate into something severe.Only her mouth was slightly swollen.Jennifer had to wear a mask for the time being."Do you feel any discomfort?" Henry asked with concern.Jennifer shook her head. "I'm fine."Henry hummed to himself. "Feel free to tell the chef about your allergies and your favorite food. We don't want you to have another allergy reaction.""I will." Jennifer gave Henry a guilty glance. "Sorry for causing you trouble.""Not at all. I was in the wrong for not taking care of you." Henry's tone softened as if he couldn't even bear the thought of scolding her.However, Jennifer felt sour listening to it.Henry treated those he loved way differently than those he didn't. Compared to the cruel indifference he had toward her, the attitude Henry had toward Natalie was so …It felt like two completely different people!"Let's take you home." Henry held Jennifer's hand gently.Jennifer
In her frightened state, Leslie's phone fell from her grasp."What are you doing?" Leslie tried to compose herself as best as she could.One of them replied, "Don't worry. We won't harm you. The one we want to settle scores with ... is someone else."Leslie furrowed her brows. Before she could ask who they were after, a hand closed around her mouth and she fell unconscious.When she regained consciousness, she found herself bound in an old warehouse. Her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth.Leslie would be lying if she said that being tied up in an unknown place without knowing what her captors' plans were didn't terrify her.While Leslie was looking around, she heard footsteps approaching. After a while, she saw a plain-looking woman walking toward her.Although the woman wore a mask, Leslie could still see the fatigue in her expression.However, she didn't recognize this woman! What did this woman want? Who was she seeking revenge on?Les
