Chapter 211 Bringing Him Home
Last Updated:
2024-02-05 00:01:23The 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 haRelated chapters

Darwin massaged his temples."Ah, just filled the tank when I got in the car.""Which building are you in? I can drop you off downstairs.""Building 2," Darwin replied.Fiona started the car, pretended to search for direction, then steered the wheel toward Building 2.Building 2.The building she had lived in for five years was also Building 2. She prayed he wouldn't tell her that he'd been living there all these years. The media even captured Darwin and Lilian emerging from a villa at Emerald Pool. Paparazzi. Exceptionally good at framing a shot. That day, the garden was bursting with life under the brilliant sunshine, making the couple in the photo look as sweet as fairy tale characters.All of a sudden, a strong urge surged in Fiona's heart. Whatever Darwin's reasons were for bringing her here, she wanted to go up and see for herself and expose whatever game he was playing, see through his clumsy attempt.But... reason overruled this childish and p

Fiona's thoughts were in disarray. Somehow, she and Darwin ended up tangled together on the master bedroom's bed. It wasn't until he started to unbutton her blouse that she snapped back to reality."Stop!!" Fiona fought desperately.But Darwin, who had feigned weakness just moments before, deployed his considerable strength now, easily overpowering Fiona's desperate resistance.Her blouse was swiftly undone, exposing her to his gaze. Darwin's advances halted abruptly, however, when he saw a faint scar across her lower abdomen—a scar reminiscent of one he had seen in his childhood on Anniston, who had explained to him that it was left by the C-section that brought him into the world."Get off me!" Fiona lashed out fiercely, her foot meeting Darwin's chest.Thrown off by the force of her kick, Darwin tumbled off the bed, his head hitting the wall with a thud."Oh my God!" Fiona gasped, startled by the noise.The back of the head was particularly vulnerable.

When Fiona first met Mrs. Solomon, her health was already in decline. The company’s leadership were gradually handed over to Darwin and the then-rising star, Anniston.Despite having heard about Mrs. Solomon’s many callous deeds while by Darwin's side, and because Mrs. Solomon had always been kind to her. Despite this, Fiona’s perception of Mrs. Solomon had remained relatively positive.But in that moment, as Darwin unveiled his origins, Fiona began to grasp why Mrs. Solomon ended up alienated by the Solomon family.And Darwin… he had known about his improbable roots since he was eleven. His thinking had been skewed towards this dogma of maximizing benefits, which influenced him for many years to come.“This sort of secret should have been kept by Mr. Solomon, not shared with anyone,” Fiona mused, struggling to articulate her thoughts.Darwin looked at her, waiting for words of comfort and guidance that never came, and his heart ached even more. In the past, even

"It's just a pretend date.""There won't be any real connection.""How could I ever let you marry that kind of man?""What could you possibly lose?""The Shaws have always been good to us, helping us through our hard times. We can't just refuse to do them a favor. That would be ungrateful."These were the voicemails Maria sent after Ashton had refused. Listening to them left Fiona absolutely fuming.She was fiercely protective of her friends and had zero tolerance for abusive jerks.On the same day, she decided to dig into the guy's background.What she didn't expect was to be completely taken aback by the findings.This guy was a real piece of work—his rap sheet was long enough to put him away for good, multiple times over.But thanks to his family's tight grip on local influence and their deep pockets, his sordid past had been conveniently wiped clean.Fiona wasted no time in leaking every dirty secret to the internet, unleashing a

Fiona had to admit, although harshly, that her encounters with Darwin brought her more joy than pain.He had skills, unsettlingly good ones.But to wound a heart to its core, you'd find any excuse to pick apart what's left."I thought you enjoyed it," Darwin said, his brow knitted with concern.Congratulations, Fiona mused, you got it right. But her facade remained icy."Let's preserve some dignity for each other, Darwin. The moment you decided to end our child's life, you destroyed any potential future we might have had."After those words, she averted her gaze and brushed past the stunned Darwin. No need to feign unfamiliarity here anymore. She went to the dressing room, her eyes briefly welling up as she saw her neatly arranged clothes still in the closet. Time relentlessly marched on.It seemed like Darwin was trying to cling to something in this place, but delusions remained just that.She casually changed into a correspondingly fitting set

As Ashton's phone rang with suddenness, her brows furrowed in bewilderment. It was rare for Justin to reach out first, and she had a hunch as to why. After a moment's hesitation, she ended the call."What's up?" Kenny's voice was soft, his presence steady beside her.Ashton shook her head, "It's nothing, Mr. Kenny, please."He caught her eye, said nothing more, and with a gentle hand on her back nudged her forward. "You go ahead."Ashton couldn't help but notice: his hands were massive.Just a few steps later, her phone buzzed with a message from Justin. She glanced at it, and froze."Ashton, you need to come to the First City Hospital right away. Your mom passed out at home, and we're taking her there!""Guys, something's come up at home. I won't be able to join you for the site visit," Ashton quickly informed the others. To Kenny, she added, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Kenny, I...""No worries."Kenny turned to the lawyer at his side. "Mr. White, ple
Last Updated : 2024-02-07Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 218 Not a Good Girl
Ashton realized that her mother had changed during their second spring with the Shaw family.She had given away her beloved cloth doll—a gift from her father—to a child in the Shaw family.That night she had cried so hard.Yet her mother had said..."We must behave differently here in Mr. Shaw's home than we would in our own. You have plenty of dolls your father bought you, missing one isn't the end of the world. You need to be a good girl."Later, when she visited that relative's home...She saw the doll again.Her beautiful doll, torn and neglected in the corner, it broke Ashton's heart.But...She always held her mother's words close to heart. They lived in someone else's house, which meant they had to be good, sensible, and obedient. The doll, though she felt a deep guilt for leaving it behind, remained there nonetheless. In the years that followed, this sort of thing happened far too often. The thing she feared most when s

Leaving the hospital, the outside world greeted them with blinding sunlight. Ashton turned to Kenny, "Mr. Kenny, I need to make a call.""Sure," Kenny responded with understanding and stepped aside.Ashton found a bench, sat down, and called Fiona. She summarized the situation and then spent the next fifteen minutes sobbing uncontrollably. After she had cried enough, her voice shaky and eyes still wet, she sniffled, "Babe, I stopped crying.""Yeah," Fiona replied, her voice supportive. "Good timing, the rugrats just left. Tonight, I'll get your favorite braised dishes, and we'll have a proper drink!""Tonight, huh?" Ashton stuttered, her gaze drifting towards Kenny standing at a distance, a thought crossing her mind that Kenny was too clueless to wait in the car."I have dinner plans with the lord of the manor who’s selling his land.""Is it going to take all night?" Fiona muttered. "You better save some room for when you come back to drink with me.""Got

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

"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. Lilian's face turned particularly sour.Chelsea's new strategy represented a complete shift.While the first proposal seemed, at first glance, to have a stronger pull on pe
