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
Early the next morning, a breaking news story made its way to the top of the hot search list, going viral."#Solomons and Ross Family Peacefully Break Off Engagement#"Clicking into the article, the reason for the broken engagement was revealed. After spending time together, the couple realized they were incompatible. Both parties chose to end the engagement and continue their relationship as friends. The ongoing alliance between the Solomons and the Ross Family would not be affected by the breakup.Ashton saw the news and immediately called Fiona.Fiona was still asleep, groggily answering the phone. She heard Ashton's excited voice on the other end, "Sweetheart!! Are you still sleeping? Wake up! Darwin and that foreign lady have broken off their engagement!"Fiona took a moment to react, then opened her eyes and asked, "What did you say?""I said Darwin really broke off the engagement!" Ashton exclaimed.Fiona sat up, put the call on speakerphone, and checked her Weibo. Sure enough,
However, she felt a bit disappointed. If only she had waited one more day to arrange it."Understood," Fiona responded.Outside the emergency room of the hospital. , Darwin held his phone, burdened with guilt. He didn't want to lie to Fiona, but he felt like he had no choice."Why couldn't you quietly marry someone else? Why did you have to boastfully tell her? Didn't I tell you that she attempted suicide because of this before? Mr. Solomon, do you even have a heart?" Mia leaned against the wall, frustratedly questioning Darwin."You knew that she still loves you. If I hadn't come home early today, she wouldn't have had a chance at being saved!!""That's enough!" Darwin scolded in a low voice.Mia trembled in fear. The lights in the emergency room turned off.The doctor came out and said, "The medicine in her stomach has been pumped out. Let's move her to the observation room for further examination.""Thank you, doctor!" Mia quickly replied.Not long after, Lilian woke up in the VIP
Darwin puts out the cigarette and asked "What brings you here?""I...I woke up and didn't see you. I got scared..." Lilian whispered, "Are you smoking?""Just relieving stress," Darwin replied as he walked over, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the ward.""You didn't use to smoke before," Lilian murmured, "Did I make you annoyed?""Lilian, you have to get rid of these thoughts. You have to live for yourself, stop worrying about who will be annoyed or who likes or dislikes it!" Darwin said in a deep voice.Honestly, Lilian's dependence on him made it hard for him to breathe. Yet he couldn't just abandon Lilian!"I understand, I will! Please don't be angry!" Lilian immediately said.Darwin suddenly felt deflated, like a balloon losing air. "Let's go, back to the ward."Lilian obediently followed him back to the ward.Around the same time, Fiona was awakened by a nightmare. She sat up in bed, feeling a bit dizzy. She got up and went to the living room to find a thermometer, and she
Tsk tsk.He didn't fall for it."What is Darwin doing?" Mia asked in astonishment. "How could he leave Lilian here and chase after another woman?"Wyatt approached, his hands in his pockets, looking down on Mia from above."You really went all out when you pushed Fiona just now," Wyatt said slowly.Mia wanted to explain. Wyatt's demeanor suddenly turned dangerous, his face cold. "If anything happens to her, you're finished, I mean it, finished in the literal sense.""Wyatt... She was trying to protect me, why do you have to scare her?" Lilian asked with a hint of anger."Lilian, long time no see. How did you end up like this?" Wyatt asked.Lilian thought didn't he consider bringing a wheelchair for her?Wyatt didn't bother answering her.He looked in the direction Fiona had left. He watched as she clutched her stomach, not sure if her babies were hurt.Fiona was worried about that too. If a man was gone, he was gone, but her two angelic babies must be safe."Fiona!" Darwin caught up w
