"Mr. Chase, someone just ran out into the road in front of our car—"But before the driver could finish his sentence, the person in question had run to the backseat door and kept knocking on the window."Open up! Open up! Let me in, will you?"Henry's brows furrowed. If he wasn't mistaken, this person was Shane's son, Jonah. He was the one who'd become intellectually disabled two years ago because of a car accident.What happened to him? And why was he here all alone?But Henry was indebted to Celine, and given that Jonah was her son, he figured that he had to take good care of Jonah on her behalf.If anything happened to Jonah, Celine wouldn't be able to take it."This guy…" Earl was about to go out and chase Jonah away.But Henry stopped him and said, "Let him in."Both Earl and the driver were stunned. Yet, they dared not question Henry's instructions.In the end, the driver unlocked the backseat door.Finally able to open the door, Jonah hopped in without hesitation.
Jonah's presence had become a stain in Shane's life.Even when he was attending a gathering today, people frequently questioned him about Jonah's condition.In truth, he didn't want to answer their questions! He would much rather have everyone pretend that Jonah didn't exist!Such emotions slowly accumulated over time within Shane, and he began to have the idea of ridding Jonah from his life.It wasn't his fault for thinking this way.Jonah was just too weak.At that moment, Cesar suddenly walked in. He asked in confusion, "Dad, where's Aunt Celine going? She seems to be in a rush… She also just ignored me when I talked to her."Usually, Celine would at least roll her eyes at Cesar. But this time, she didn't even do that."Just ignore her! What can she do? She just flocks around her stupid son every day," Shane said.Cesar didn't know how to reply to Shane, so he simply decided to keep his mouth shut.Then, Shane looked at Cesar, and an idea came to mind. "You wouldn't di
Although she sent Natalie to the orphanage the second Natalie was born, she was filled with pain and guilt when she made her decision.So, she had always remembered how Natalie looked when she was born.In fact, no one knew that she kept a photo of Natalie in her wallet's compartment.That was the only photo of Natalie she kept.Celine's gaze immediately became strange at the sight of the child."Thank you for taking care of my child, Mr. Chase. I won't trouble you two any further. I'll bring Jonah home now." Celine immediately collected her gaze and turned to look at Henry."Mom, I want to play with Cece a little longer…" Jonah said reluctantly.His words immediately increased Celine's anxiousness. She didn't even know what to say at that moment."Mrs. Yoder, he still wants to play for a while longer. Why don't you…"You two can stay a little while longer. Cece also seems to be enjoying herself with Jonah," Henry said with a faint smile."It's a bit late now. Not to mention,
Natalie could not help but frown. "Won't you hate it if I become chubby?"Henry looked at Natalie and shook his head solemnly. "I won't. In fact, I think you'll look cute if you become chubbier."He'd even be able to feel more secure. It would stop other men from thinking of coveting Natalie."So, I can relax and eat all I want?" Natalie asked uncertainly.Henry's expression remained solemn. "I'll reward you 20 million for every two pounds you gain. If you gain ten pounds, you'll get 100 million and vice versa."Natalie's mouth could not help but twitch.It seemed like he was well-prepared to spend everything to make her chubby……For the past few days, some people have been having a great time while others suffered.Harper and Fiona were part of the suffering ones.She could not muster the generosity to wish Hugh and Leslie well while feeling unhappy and unfortunate.So, Harper decided to hold a press conference after discussing things with her mother.During the press con
"My mom is claustrophobic! She'll go crazy if you lock her inside such a small space!" Harper was hysterical, causing her voice to nearly crack.She had lived with her mother for more than 20 years, after all. She understood Fiona's condition perfectly.She was trapped inside a lift with Fiona once.Fiona was so scared that her whole body was trembling. After a while, she even began to gurgle out white foam.That scene was etched deeply within Harper's mind.Since then, she was made aware of how severe her mother's claustrophobia was."There's a price to pay when you speak nonsense." Hugh's voice was light, but there was an underlying hint of hostility within it.For a moment, Harper didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with hate.After a while, Harper chuckled coldly. "Hugh, do you really like Leslie that much? Will your feelings for her never change no matter what happens to her?""That's not what you should worry about now, is it? Shouldn't you be more worried abou
Leslie no longer wanted to suffer in despair after experiencing many hardships.Since the person she liked just so happened to like her, she decided not to hesitate and be with him."Yes," Leslie said after nodding gently.She could feel Hugh's gaze on her. He could burn a hole in her head if he continued to stare at her with such intensity.Leslie turned her head to say something to Hugh when she met Hugh's gaze.He was looking at her, but not with his usual gentle and affectionate gaze.Instead, there was something off with his gaze.Leslie didn't know how she was supposed to interpret it.But the second Leslie met his eyes, he quickly looked away and said, "We'll arrive after the turning right up ahead. Get ready to get out of the car."He successfully diverted Leslie's attention. She looked out the window only to see the car driving slowly toward a hospital.A hospital?"Why are we at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Leslie asked in confusion."My friend gifted me
The whispers among the crowd grew louder."What is happening? Did Harry get released from prison because he bribed them?""That man is making such a big scene. I can't tell who's the one telling the truth.""Today is a good occasion. It's quite unlucky to have that man make a scene here…""Felix, don't listen to them no matter what they say. Don't overthink it, either. Alright?" Shirley did not care much about the situation. She was more worried about Felix's emotions.Felix's relationship with Harry had improved over the past two days. But all that improvement might be destroyed after the scene that day.Felix was clearly distraught. He was frowning and pursing his lips tightly.Normally, he would not ignore Shirley when she talked to him.But currently, all of his attention seemed to be on Logan. He didn't seem to have heard a word of what Shirley said.Lucas also decided to cry at that moment. His cries echoed throughout the hall.During such a tense moment, Lucas' cries s
Although Felix did not answer him, Harry knew that he was listening.So, Harry continued, "I've already finished all the documents for your school. I'll send you to school in a few days."Just like before, Felix did not answer him.Harry could understand. Felix was probably distressed after remembering about his mother's death.Harry did not stay for long, either. He quickly left after saying what he wanted to say.He immediately saw Shirley in the corridor after leaving Felix's room.Shirley looked calm, but Harry was feeling distressed.He walked toward Shirley and reached out to embrace her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry you and our child must suffer such stress and grievances."He understood that even though he was released scot-free, some people would forever see him as a murderer.Such thoughts would subject his family to other people's disdain and contempt."Me and our child are fine. But you…" Shirley pulled away and looked at him worriedly. "Don't give yourself too much stre
