In reality, Fiona didn't feel that it made any difference whether she had a father or not. However, she had to address the root of the problem."Fiona, you're still young... you...""You're not trying to persuade me not to have children, are you?" Fiona looked surprised.Janna looked at her and continued with care, "If it wasn't Darwin's children, I wouldn't advise you...""Grandma Rhoads, the babies in my belly is my only blood relatives in this world. I won't give up for any reason!" Fiona suddenly became serious."No!" Tears fell from Janna’s eyes. She thought how could Fiona say that only the babies were her blood relative? She had so many other loved ones!Stuart came in with a prepared fish soup."Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your health is the most important." Fiona took the soup from Stuart's hands and fed it to Janna. "You haven't found your granddaughter yet, so you can't give up like this."Janna Rhoads nodded.Fiona fed Janna the soup, by the spoonful, gentl
Darwin took Lilian to the hospital. Shortly after, Lilian's friend Mia also arrived in a rush."I knew she came to find you!" Mia looked at Lilian, pale-faced, wiping away her tears. "Actually, she came back a while ago, and as soon as she returned, she wanted to find you. But the news of your engagement spread the next day. You know her, she has a kind heart. Knowing that you were getting married, she couldn't disturb you anymore but she lost her will to live as well."Darwin looked at Mia. "What do you mean?""On the day of your engagement, she probably couldn't bear it anymore and swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. Luckily, she was discovered in time.”Darwin clenched his fists."The reason she came to see you this time is because she knew you had called off the engagement," Mia continued. "Mr. Solomon, you may not know how much Lilian loves you."Darwin remained silent.After a moment, a nurse came and asked about the patient's medical history."She has severe depression and a
Mia watched as Darwin walked away."You're overthinking it, aren't you? He's usually cold and indifferent, but today he's been sticking to you like glue, hardly eating anything." Lilian sneered."But he's been absent-minded," Mia said. "Maybe he's thinking about how to deal with that stand-in? After all, the true main character has returned," Mia mentioned the stand-in with a disdainful expression.Lilian remained silent and walked towards the residential area.During the night, a drizzle of cold rain began to fall. The cold air penetrated to the bones. Darwin parked the car by the roadside and sat inside, smoking cigarette after cigarette. It continued until late into the night. Only then did Darwin start the car and drive, aimlessly, until he arrived near Fiona's apartment. For so many years, Fiona had always been a source of comfort for him. He parked the car. With weary steps, Darwin made his way to Fiona's apartment. Thinking that Fiona wasn't home, he directly unlocked the doo
Fiona looked at Darwin in utter surprise, and all her lingering doubts vanished. She caressed Darwin's cheek, and he immediately leaned into her palm like a big, affectionate dog."I have been planting trees for five years, and now it's time for me to enjoy the shade for a lifetime," Fiona replied."So, Fiona, do you also like me?" Darwin urgently asked.Fiona gazed at Darwin and shook her head. The smile on Darwin's face visibly faded away. But then, Fiona said, "Darwin, I think... I love you."Darwin froze. "If you love me, why did you leave me before?" Darwin asked."I love you, but I can't be a mistress," Fiona retorted with a huff. "And besides, someone had previously set a rule for me not to fall in love with you, right?""Someone is such a bastard!" Darwin cursed.Fiona looked at Darwin, thinking, Darwin, I have poured out my heart to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."I'm so happy!" Darwin hugged Fiona tightly and kissed her cheek again.Fiona couldn't help but laugh and cr
"Is that enough?" Darwin smiled, his eyes twinkling with stars.He leaned down and deeply kissed Fiona, saying, "This is enough!"Fiona blushed. Even when she and Darwin were more intimate, they had never been this affectionate.Back then, the Darwin on the bed and the Darwin off the bed were two different people. He could sweet talk her in bed, calling her baby, but once off the bed, he was a different man."This is for Liu, the assistant." Fiona took a paper bag from the foyer.Darwin frowned, "What is it?""Breakfast." Fiona added before Darwin could protest, "According to the usual time, after Liu picks you up, there is time to buy breakfast. But today, you wasted almost an hour, so this is compensation.""You made it yourself?""It's not as delicious as yours." Fiona cajoled like she was with a child."Hmph."Darwin didn't know if he was pleased or not, but he at least took the breakfast and walked out the door.Fiona worried, standing at the doorway, and reminded Darwin, "Don't
There were similar speculations going around. Rupert Wells, who had been following Fiona and Ashton, had made his appearance. After buying baby clothes and shoes and feeling tired, the two of them were preparing to head back. Just as they found their car and were about to get in, Rupert Wells rushed out. He grabbed Fiona's wrist tightly."Oh my god!" Ashton exclaimed, rushing over from the driver's seat and grabbing Rupert Wells' hand. "Let go of her! What are you doing?""I should be asking you, Ashton. What are you up to?" Rupert Wells glared at Ashton fiercely, disappointment written all over his face. "I thought you genuinely cared for Fiona, but it turns out you've also been swayed by Darwin's money, haven't you?""Shame on you!" Ashton spewed angrily at Rupert Wells. "Look at the car I drive and the clothes I wear. Do I look like I need money?"Fiona nearly burst into laughter at Ashton's words. "Exactly, you don't lack money, so why would you push Fiona into a pit?" Rupert Well
Ashton wasn't in a good mood in the end, all because of the interruption by Rupert Wells."He must have been following me!""It's fine, I'm not hiding from anyone!""I can't feel at ease until Darwin knows you're pregnant," Ashton furrowed his brows."Sweetheart, just relax," Fiona reassured."Don't call me sweetheart. Last time at that mansion, when you called me sweetheart, Darwin's eyes nearly dug my grave!"Fiona laughed.Ashton escorted Fiona back to her apartment and, in the process, took a look upstairs as well."I used to worry that you wouldn't eat well or have a good place to stay!" Ashton strolled around, grumbling but visibly happy.After the walk, she took out her iPad and started planning tomorrow's layout by sketching on the spot.Ashton had a touch of romance in her, meticulously arranging everything from the entrance to the small study in the bedroom."We'll put the baby crib here once it arrives.""I want to keep the baby's little shoes and clothes in there," Fiona s

Ashton exclaimed.Fiona sat up, put the call on speakerphone, and checked her Weibo. Sure enough,
