Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 148 Five Years Later
Initially, Lilian was angry, but after being ignored by Darwin for so long, her feelings waned. Fiona was deceased; how could she lose to someone who was no longer there? Over time, Lilian began altering her appearance to resemble Fiona's—year after year, until five years had elapsed.She remained employed at Solomon. Initially desiring a secretarial role, she was rebuffed by Darwin. Her significant involvement in the Anniston incident led to Darwin assigning her to the sales department, located a considerable distance from the president's office on the 6th floor. Lilian worked tirelessly, making her presence known to Darwin at every opportunity.On business trips, she risked her self-respect by appearing at Darwin's door in a nightgown. Despite this, he never reciprocated her advances, offering only occasional, vacant stares.Outside of work, Lilian saw little of Darwin. He spent much of the year in Serene City or alone in Bay City, in the apartment he once shared with Fiona. Lilian'

Darwin's vigilant expression dissolved into laughter just before he vanished, leaving Lilian in awe. A realization hit her: Darwin's longing for the child he and Fiona had lost might still linger. Perhaps he yearned for a child of his own. Touching her stomach, Lilian bit her lip with resolve.At the orthopedic ward, Wendy led the little one away while Stuart and his sister argued about his tears. Ashton, peeling an apple for his grandmother, looked on with curiosity."Weren't they all fine this morning? Why argue now?" Ashton mused.Like a nimble monkey, the little one escaped Wendy's hold and clambered onto Ashton."Godmother, a bad man bullied Wendy, but I protected her. She's being unreasonable and blaming me. I won't be nice to her anymore!" the child declared."What bad man?" Ashton asked, his brow furrowing as he regarded Wendy.Wendy shrank back. "Just a gentleman passing by..." She couldn't dare reveal the near mishap, or she'd face severe consequences."Why is he bad? How di

Fiona was startled. She headed to Stuart’s room and found three small suitcases lined up. “Missing your little sister?” she asked, giving her son a kiss.It was the siblings’ first separation since their birth. Stuart, unlike the emotionally vibrant Chicago, seemed detached. He seldom smiled and carried a solemn demeanor. Since his return, he hadn’t spoken of missing his sister.“Mom misses my sister too,” Fiona said with a mix of laughter and tears.At that moment, Burl approached the door sorrowfully. “Sis, are you leaving too?” he asked. Still in school, Burl couldn’t accompany them. Five years prior, he was the first to learn Fiona was alive by implanting a virus in their shared email address, which activated the computer’s camera upon login.Four years ago, old Allmond didn’t survive the winter. Burl, gifted in IT, was accepted into a prestigious university in Country M and had founded a successful internet company with classmates.“Stuart and Chicago are five now; it’s time they

The awkwardness vanished as Ashton returned with Chicago and sat across from Chris.“Why are you back?” Ashton inquired.“For Chris’s wedding,” he replied.As Ashton poured tea, her hand shook slightly. She had learned to control her reactions over the years.“He’s getting married?” she asked.“He has a blind date,” explained Chris’s father. “They were childhood sweethearts.”Ashton congratulated him, but Lisa criticized her for skipping her own arranged dates.Chicago sensed Ashton’s discomfort and offered her candy, which Ashton accepted with a kiss.Lisa scolded her, then softened, “Don’t worry, I’m not angry.”The meal was served, and Wendy helped Chicago eat.Justin praised Chicago’s independence, which Ashton credited to her mother.After a few bites, Chicago was full. Ashton noticed and suggested some fresh air.Justin and Lisa discussed Ashton’s future. Justin praised her success; Lisa wished for her to marry.Lisa turned to Chris, “Look out for your sister.”Chris nodded sile

Darwin watched, a sense of déjà vu washing over him. It was as if he saw Fiona's shadow in her—the way her eyes lit up with each delicious taste, stirring a bittersweet ache in his chest."Wendy, remember this duck. I want to buy some for my big brother!" The little girl, once at odds with her sibling, now thought of sharing her treats."You have a big brother?" Darwin inquired."Yes," she said proudly but offered no further details. She had just met Chris and was taught not to discuss family matters with strangers.Darwin continued to feed her an array of treats. Chicago ate until she was full and sleepy."Sir, the young miss is tired. We should return..." Ah Wu interjected.Darwin asked for their room location."It's called... Water Pavilion!""Can you find it?" he probed.Wendy looked down, embarrassed."I'll take you." Darwin lifted Chicago and nodded to his table before leaving."No... No need!" Wendy followed hastily.Chicago nestled against Darwin's shoulder, falling asleep. Be

Two days later, Fiona's private jet touched down in Bay City."Mummy!" Chicago raced into Fiona's arms.Fiona held her close, tears mingling with Chicago's. "Why the tears?""I missed Mummy..." Chicago whimpered.Ashton hugged Stuart, asking if he missed his godmother. He nodded, not wanting to upset her."What do you think? Is our son too mature?" Ashton asked Fiona."Is that bad?" Fiona replied, showering Chicago with kisses until she laughed.Darwin, rushing for a flight to Boston, thought he saw Fiona at the airport. Lilian tried to hold him back, but the figure disappeared."It's nothing," Darwin dismissed her concern, though his heart ached.Fiona remarked on the new developments in Bay City, including a theme park."Mummy, what's Solomon?" Chicago asked.Fiona explained about Darwin, the business genius."Bad brother, Chicago didn't talk to you!" Chicago pouted to Stuart, refusing to share the delicious duck she had discovered.Stuart wasn't bothered. "I'm not a greedy pig. I d

“She’s looking for me,” Darwin said, patting her head.Chapter 152: Her ShadowDarwin watched, a sense of déjà vu washing over him.

"Well, Chicago can't sleep in tomorrow!" Fiona ruffled her hair.Chicago bounced with excitement. "Okay, yay!" She then looked at Stuart, who became quiet at the mention of pets."Brother, you can't go to the park, but godmother said there's a great science museum here. Let's go after the park!"Stuart's ears reddened. "Whatever, I'm fine with anything.""Alright, little monkey, go take a bath!" Fiona said, handing her over to Wendy.The next day, Fiona and Chicago went to the community's private park. Fiona dressed Chicago in cute overalls and yellow rain boots. Chicago busied herself greeting the elderly residents and their dogs."Except for the big black dog, all dogs are good dogs!" Chicago said, returning to Fiona's side after playing.Fiona's heart tightened at the mention, recalling a past incident with a dangerous dog. But Chicago was brave, approaching even large dogs without fear."Mommy doesn't need to be brave. Chicago and big brother will protect you!" Chicago declared.F

Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 259
As Ashton was sorting through the gifts, she too was reflecting on everything."Isn't my life just a series of bizarre twists?" she mumbled, looking down. "Finding out Chris was secretly going on blind dates behind my back, then breaking up. Watching him get engaged, and seeing my own mom take his fiancée's side, leading to our fallout. That should have been my rock bottom, right?"Fiona nodded in agreement.The day Ashton cut ties with her mom, she'd even bought her a plane ticket. She wanted to send her to some tranquil getaway for a much-needed vacation to relax and rejuvenate."Who would've guessed? Right after the falling out with my mom—a spur-of-the-moment decision—I ended up marrying Kenny. I was so down on my luck, I thought, 'How much worse can it get?'” Ashton chuckled ironically, then softened a bit. "But, who could have predicted how good Kenny would turn out to be? How he'd respect every single wish of mine."It was a kind of care that she hadn't felt since her dad had l
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 258 The Fiery Passion of a Godfather**
Fiona was actually surprised. After all, she wasn't a saint without desires. It all made sense to just go with the flow and do what naturally came next. She might only berate herself later for succumbing to her cravings. But Darwin stopped, and that was beyond her expectations. In the past, this would have been unthinkable. It seemed as though... he really had learned to respect her.She pressed a quick, rewarding peck onto Darwin's lips, smiled, and teased, 'Mr. Solomon, maybe you should head to the bathroom?”Her smile was captivating and bright, causing Darwin's past five years of distressing memories to resurface. He pulled her into his arms again."Wife, I miss you so much, I'm starting to lose my mind," Darwin's voice shook, betraying his emotional turmoil. "I keep seeing your shadow at home, but when I chase after it, there's nothing... Thank goodness... this time I've really got you in my arms."Fiona listened to his voice laced with sobs, her heart aching with each word."Ser
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 257 Leaving a Mark
Darwin had always been self-centered in matters of intimacy. Whenever he desired, she couldn't refuse.In her haziness, Fiona felt like she was back in those times again."Don't be afraid."Sensing her anxiety and unease, Darwin softened, kissing her lips again and coaxing her with his gentle voice, "I won't force you. I'll wait until you're ready to truly accept me."In Fiona's misty eyes, desire began to cloud her vision. Her gaze often seemed distant and disconnected. As Darwin kissed her, her mind turned into mush, instinctively she kissed him back softly.Mr. Solomon just stood there, silent, his towering frame taut."You know exactly how to torture me," Darwin groaned, voice hoarse, as he peppered her neck with more fervent kisses."Be gentle..." Fiona clenched his hand. "You'll leave marks!"Darwin chuckled lowly, then tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Why fear my marks? Scared that man will see and get jealous?""No, it's not that…" Fiona turned away with a sligh
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 256 A Taste of Sweetness
Once finished, the anxiety within Lilian began to subside.Just wait a little longer, Lilian. All these nuisances will soon vanish.And then, you'll be there for Darwin with all your gentle warmth. He’ll eventually be moved, realizing you're the one for him...Lilian took a deep breath and exhaled.On her way out, she passed by the flower shop where Darwin made his purchase. From a distance, she had only glimpsed the type of flowers Darwin had bought and decided to buy the same kind.Inside the apartment, Darwin silenced his phone and tossed it aside."Why didn't you tell me? Worried I'd take Lilian's side?" he pulled her close and asked earnestly.For five years, she had lived in Lilian’s shadow, a daily reminder that she was merely a stand-in and that Lilian was the more important one—a notion that had likely seeped into her very marrow.This realization made Darwin wish he could travel back in time to give his younger self a good thrashing.He
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 255 Buying Peace of Mind
"The only person I've ever schemed for was Solomon. What could possibly make you believe I'd harm someone I don’t even know, like Miss Rhoads?" Lilian asked. "If that's truly how you see me, maybe it'd be better if you just kicked me out of Solomon's life..."Darwin had promised to protect Lilian.Hearing her say this, he felt a twinge of guilt.But...Darwin feared even more that because of the thorn that was Lilian, his wife’s heart, which had just started to soften toward him, would turn cold again.He was walking on eggshells just to avoid pushing her away.So..."I'm sorry, Lilian," Darwin said flatly. "There's no room for discussion."Lilian sat frozen in the car, as if her blood was slowly turning to ice.Even in her early days back in the country, Darwin had never protected Fiona like this.He used to drop everything to be at Lilian's side whenever she needed him, leaving Fiona behind.Now...Even when she tried to befriend Che
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 254 Striking First?
Fiona gazed at Darwin, his face inexplicably brimming with pride."Lilian places great value on the RH Company project." She kept to herself the fact that Lilian had plagiarized her proposal, but Fiona wasn't about to let it slide.This was simply a clash of interests, and she felt no need to drag Darwin further into the fray, avoiding the mess of tangled priorities."Hmm," Darwin's smile faded slightly, "Her proposal is indeed impressive, but it pales in comparison to yours."Fiona studied him intently, searching his face for any hint of romantic sentiment towards Lilian.Her search ended in vain."What are you looking at?" Darwin pulled her closer by the waist, gazing up at her.Fiona brushed her fingertips gently across his cheek, causing him to nuzzle into her hand like a kitten seeking affection."Don't stay away too long, come back soon," he whispered softly, his voice barely a murmur.What he truly wanted to say was, "Don't leave."Thei
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 253 Withdrawing Solomon
Darwin had no clue about the sunny-side up egg story. Upon hearing it, his gaze immediately sought Fiona's.Fiona was clutching her burger too tight."Oh, why bring that up, mother?" the daughter-in-law chided softly, "I'm sorry about this.""It's fine," Fiona shook her head gently.Seeing Granny distressed, she excused herself to rest.Fiona stared at her burger, lost in thought.She had never imagined it.Her death had cast such a shadow, not only over her loved ones, but over those beyond her immediate circle.“It’s okay.” Darwin soothed her gently.Fiona cast another glance toward where the Hamburger Lady had disappeared and bowed her head to eat slowly.If the Hamburger Lady was so affected...What about Darwin?She had never been fully convinced of Darwin's love for her. It always seemed to her that his treatment of her was nothing more than possessiveness.Like an old belonging he didn’t want to discard, nor did he want anyo
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 252 The Entanglement Continues
Darwin sat in the treatment room with Fiona sitting beside him, scrolling through messages on her phone, while a doctor attended to Darwin's wound."The wound's not too deep, but it's not superficial either. You'll have to watch your diet," the doctor advised after dressing the wound."Got it, thank you for your help," Fiona put away her phone and politely thanked the doctor.Then they left the treatment room together.Darwin's face was brimming with relief, "We really didn't have to come to the hospital for this."Fiona didn't look at him.Leading the way, she said over her shoulder, "I'm here to prevent someone from using their wounds as an excuse to get me to come back."At that,the joy visibly drained from Darwin's face."I would never do that," he murmured softly.Fiona finally stopped and turned to look at him, "Mr. Solomon, you're becoming shamelessly unprincipled. Aren't you embarrassed to say such things?""Hungry?" Darwin steppe

We hope that while guiding these industries through current challenges, we can also preserve the essence of the company's original culture as much as possible. Furthermore, we aim to highlight the significant contributions that RH Company has made to Armie Country and its citizens during challenging times. Monsoon Investment sincerely wishes to join hands with the esteemed shareholders of RH Company, to usher in the next era of brilliance,” Fiona concluded her address with a respectful bow.As she stepped down from the podium, the auditorium was quieter than expected.In contrast to the heated reactions to Lilian’s proposal, Fiona’s approach landed like a heavy punch right at the heart of RH Company’s shareholders.
