2024-02-02 00:02:48Darwin was more like a seed planted in Chicago's heart, likely to grow into the tree of the child's longing for a father.
"Stop thinking about it," Ashton said, taking away the tablet from her hands, "Did you know that Darwin gave Chicago a cell phone?"Fiona nodded and responded, "Her Grandma Janna took it away.""That's for the best," sighed Ashton. "As cruel as it may seem to Chicago, if she kept in contact with Darwin and it all came out, that would be the real cruelty towards you."Fiona took a deep breath. "I'm going to help them pack.""The cleaning service have got it covered, you don't need to worry about that," Ashton said.Fiona didn't say anything and still went to the children's room.Chicago was putting the small bag that Darwin bought for her into the suitcase. When she saw Fiona, though she was lost in her thoughts, she still called out, "Mommy.""Chicago, I'll be done with work soon and will come to get you. You like Burl, don't you?Related chapters

It felt like there was a wad of cotton stuffed in her chest, cotton with hidden blades.With each breath, those invisible blades precisely pierced her throbbing heart. She clutched her chest and slowly squatted down.Moments later, an Aston Martin slowly pulled up beside her.Ashton thought she was in the way and attempted to step back.Then she heard a pleasant voice, "Ashton."Ashton looked up, her eyes red, locking gazes with Kenny in the back seat."You haven't left yet?" Ashton straightened up, a professional smile spreading across her face.Kenny observed her, "Have you been crying?"Ashton paused for a second, then wiped her eyes, "No...no, I just had a bit too much to drink. My eyes get red easily, it's nothing.""It's hard to get a cab at this hour. Get in, I'll drive you home," said Kenny.Ashton remained cautious.Alone with a man, no matter how handsome he may be, she couldn't let her guard down.Being taken advantage of wa

After finishing the proposal framework, Fiona had no time to rest so she headed straight to the kitchen. She prepared their favorite breakfasts for Charles and Chicago. Once breakfast was ready, Charles, looking sharp, came downstairs. Fiona already missed him before they even parted."I'll wrap up work as soon as possible," Fiona said, her eyes filled with pitiful reluctance as she touched Charles's forehead. Charles caressed her cheek, which looked somewhat pale and haggard from the all-nighter, and then gently stroked the dark circles under her eyes. "Mommy, did you stay up all night?"Fiona nodded and said, "The proposal wasn't coming along, but then I had a breakthrough, and before I knew it, it was already this late.""Don't overdo it," Charles said softly. "Staying up all night can make you sick."He didn't like it when Mommy got sick. He had been extremely scared and worried the last time she was ill, fearing he might lose her."I know," Fiona replied ten

"What's wrong?" Alice frowned slightly, instinctively glancing at Chris with a nervous look."What, are you so preoccupied with your grandmother that you don't even care to inquire about the person she injured?" Ashton asked."Is the injured person someone you know, Ashton?" Alice inquired."Yes! The injured person is my own grandmother!" Ashton replied."Go and see to your grandmother. I'll handle things here," Chris told Alice.After a moment of silence, Alice said, "Ashton, we're soon to be family, and I believe we should speak frankly to each other. I feel guilty about your grandmother's injury, but have you sought to understand the circumstances of what happened?""Circumstances?" Fiona chuckled, "Tell me, what are these 'circumstances'?""My grandmother was a teacher back in the day and has always been very gentle. She never hurt anyone, even when she was ill. How could she have hurt your grandmother without any reason?" Alice asked.Ashton expl

"Our family matters are none of your business," Chris sensed the hostility this man had towards him and the possessiveness towards Ashton.Ashton was beautiful, and there was never a shortage of suitors around her.Chris had seen those who brought roses to woo Ashton.He would be upset but never felt threatened.Until now.Looking at the young man before him, for the first time, an unspeakable fear and irritation rose in his heart.Family matters?Ashton grew even more discontented.When had she and Alice become a family?Her grandmother was injured, so why did it suddenly seem like a private family issue?Ashton's anger surged to her head."Chris, there's no family issue between us," Ashton said, instinctively clutching Kenny's wrist, "Let's go!"Kenny's eyes showed a flicker of emotion.His gaze dropped and settled on the hand that had grabbed his wrist."Ashton, stop making a scene!" Chris grabbed Ashton's arm forcefully.

"Grandma, once you're settled with the hospital transfer, I'll come to visit you," Kenny said gently."Alright," Grandma Carey was looking at Kenny with great satisfaction.With his good looks, gentle demeanor, and a decent family background, he would make an excellent husband, provided his character was without fault.Ashton, in a frantic rush, escorted Kenny out of the ward."There's no need," stopped in his tracks."Okay, Kenny, thanks for today," Ashton said with a professional smile still on her face.Kenny gave her a look, his gaze enigmatic, "You're welcome. Have you decided what the treat is?"Ashton was taken aback.In the next instant, she remembered that she had, in passing, mentioned she would treat Kenny to a meal."What would Kenny like to eat?" Ashton asked, with a smiling face.Internally, however, she was panicking.Something was off with this Kenny.Definitely off!"Anything really…" Kenny said and nodded with a s

Until Ashton got into the car, Chris stood still, trying to process what had just been said."What did she mean by that?""Chris, I hope you remember what Ashton just said," Fiona said as she closed the car door, and before heading to the passenger seat, she looked back at Chris, "You know I have ways of leaving you with nothing.""Violence is one thing, but threats too?" Alice was fuming."We're even, aren't we? You attacked someone, covered it up, and then lied about it. How does that make you any better?" Fiona paused, "Though do you and your spouse really think that what's deleted is gone forever?"Alice was stunned.Fiona glanced at them both and then got into the car.The car quickly drove away.Coming back to her senses, Alice tenderly touched Chris's cheek, "Does it hurt? Your sister is too much. No matter what, you're innocent. Why did she have to be physical with you?"Chris looked at Alice.For a brief moment, Alice thought she saw

It wasn't the first time Fiona had thought about visiting Mrs. Solomon.After all, during those years, Mrs. Solomon had been one of the few who genuinely cared for her.Now, as Mrs. Solomon reached the end of her life and still thought of her, it was only right, both emotionally and morally, for Fiona to make this visit.She had even gotten hold of the hospital room number.She crossed a corridor overgrown with green vines, turned right, took the elevator to the 8th floor, where Mrs. Solomon was the sole patient.The elevator doors opened.As Fiona stepped out, she saw medical staff rushing out of the office.She felt a momentary shock.Suddenly, she had an ominous feeling, remembering how on the day her grandmother had passed, the staff had hurried in the same panic.Instinctively, she quickened her pace, following behind the medical personnel.After the staff dashed into the room, Fiona's steps came to an abrupt halt.A pale Darwin emerg

The tears Fiona had been holding back finally broke free, rolling down into the cold palm of Mrs. Solomon's hand."Don't worry, I'll make sure to eat well from now on!" Fiona said through tears, maintaining her gentle smile.Mrs. Solomon's breathing became labored as she nodded with difficulty, "Good... good...""Do you remember telling me about the black sand beach? I went there to see the stars. It was beautiful. There was even a meteor shower that night, but I forgot to make a wish."Mrs. Solomon looked at her, her eyes filled with tenderness. For the past seven or eight years, she had been mostly confused. But on the rare occasions she was lucid, she understood all too well how much her grandson had troubled this beautiful young woman."Fiona..." She breathed faintly, "I didn't raise Darwin right, and it caused you so much distress..."Mrs. Solomon was gasping for air."Mrs. Solomon!" Fiona exclaimed in shock.But Mrs. Solomon clung to the ha

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

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

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
