Darwin bent down to pick up the shattered phone.He fiddled with it for a moment.It was clear, the phone was beyond repair.He called a kid over, exchanged a few words, and the child hurried off, returning shortly with a new phone in hand.Darwin took the phone, seemingly thanked the kid, and dialed a number. Moments later, a phone in Chicago rang with an unfamiliar number.Before Janna Rhoads could speak up, Chicago eagerly answered the call, "Uncle!""How did Chicago know it was uncle?" came Darwin's gentle voice, tinged with amusement, from the other end.Chicago realized she had slipped up but quickly covered, "Only uncle would call Chicago!""Right," Darwin chuckled softly, "Uncle had a bit of an accident and broke his phone. I didn't scare you, did I?""Nope," Chicago shook her head, not mentioning her earlier fears of a kidnapping.Charles withdrew to his computer, his eyelids drooping, and whispered to

Janna Rhoads furrowed her brow deeply.In the past, she would have immediately reassured Charles that such a thing hadn't happened.But now...Looking at these photos stacked one after another.The two of them might not haven been just compatible—they seemed like a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.She couldn't be sure of the answer any longer.But...She turned to Charles, this young child, suddenly finding on the internet that his mother married a stranger.He must be worried, perhaps even afraid?Janna racked her brain, then wrapped her arms around Charles, her voice gentle and filled with affection: "Charles, no matter who Mommy marries in the future, you and Chicago will always be the most important to her. So don't worry, okay? Grandma will always be here to support you and your sister!"Charles gazed at Janna Rhoads.A child so young can be a genius in intellect, but in matters of the heart, things aren't as clear.Why he

When Darwin finally had his fill, Fiona seized her chance and shoved him back. He stumbled, steadying himself and glancing at his bloodied thumb."You didn't bite it off; you still love me," Darwin declared, a wild look in his eyes.Fiona's gaze met his, a chill slithering up her spine."Darwin, I never wanted to make an enemy out of you," Fiona said, wiping her mouth with disgust. The taste of blood lingered, making her uneasy.Darwin's gaze was somber as he watched her. "You left me no choice," Fiona uttered, emphasizing each word. "From now on, it's you and me, Solomon and the Rhoads family, on opposing ends.""Fine by me!" Darwin replied instantly, without a hint of hesitation."We'll see how Janna Rhoads, coasting through the golden years of her life, copes with the chaos I'll bring!" Darwin locked eyes with Fiona. "I've told you, Fiona, nothing matters to me except for you. Anyone who stands in the way of me taking you back will have an eternal enemy in

"Amusing, isn't it?" Fiona eyed Darwin with a look that dripped exasperation."So, you think a few more kisses will change something?""If it won't change anything, why not enjoy a few more?" With that, Darwin brazenly wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply.Fiona was speechless.Well, it was clear what had changed about Darwin. His thick skin—now seemingly impervious to any sense of shame.After showering her with kisses, Darwin clung to Fiona. "Baby, I really have changed... Give me another shot, just one more chance, please?"His plea was heartfelt.Fiona couldn't help but sigh. "Darwin, what were you planning to do if I hadn't shown up at the funeral yesterday?" she didn't answer his question, instead changing the subject."Who can say?" Darwin's lips grazed her earlobe as he spoke softly. "What matters is you were there, and that was the best outcome.""Stop it!" Fiona pushed at Darwin.But he clung tighter. "You haven't

The studio team was abuzz with energy as if they'd all been injected with adrenaline. Only Laura remained clear-headed amidst the excitement."Is Miss Robbins the current flame?" she wondered.Curiosity had gotten the better of her earlier that day, leading her to do a quick internet search. The rumors linking Miss Robbins and Darwin had been persistent, yet Darwin had never publicly acknowledged any romantic involvement with her. Moreover, on the day of Darwin's car accident, he had called out for Chelsea as his 'wife'—a subtle but telling detail.Laura mused over the delicacy of the situation as she scrolled through her phone's photo gallery. She found a picture of Secretary Woods, who had tragically passed away in a plane crash, and couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance to Chelsea. Chelsea had claimed that Darwin was once her fiancé. To the public's knowledge, the only fiancée Darwin had ever acknowledged—apart from the one he had personally denied, Hathaw

The crowd processed Anniston's words, exchanging varied glances, until at last the loud-voiced woman shouted, "Well, we've come all this way, can't waste our time for nothing. Let's go!"She took the lead and marched out the door to find a sharply dressed young man holding a stack of checks."Please come this way for your checks, one per household, and each for the same amount," he directed."These are just peanuts," the woman grumbled, scrutinizing the check. "You're writing checks like we're beggars."But when the young man handed her the check, her eyes nearly popped out, "One hundred thousand?"The news of a hundred thousand dollars sent a ripple through the less affluent branches of the Solomon family, who now clamored to get their hands on the checks. The distribution complete, they each left with their own piece of unexpected fortune.The young man's meticulous hairstyle was now disheveled.He exhaled deeply, smoothed his hair back into place, and

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

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

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

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

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

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
