Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 40 Double Blow
Darwin froze for a moment.“What nonsense are you talking about?”He slammed the table hard. Jackie trembled and then confirmed that Darwin really didn't know. But he's Secretary Woods' confidant, isn't he? How could he not know? During that period, Secretary Woods lost a lot of weight..."Yes, I remember now. You were in Europe for half a month."Darwin was already in chaos.“Jackie, I’m not in the mood for jokes!”"I also wish I were joking, but... Secretary Woods personally told me that she needed time off to bury her relative!"“It’s impossible!”Darwin stood up and shouted. But the next second, he suddenly remembered Fiona's status update from the end of April. The grayish tone. Unconcealed sorrow."Call Fiona!" Darwin said in a deep voice.Jackie nodded and quickly took out his phone. The call was dialed, but the cold mechanical voice greeted them again."The number you have dialed is currently switched off..."“It’s switched off.” Jackie looked at Darwin with fear."Find out he

A sudden panic engulfed Darwin like never before.He walked into the bedroom. The once cozy space is now completely empty.Darwin searched around. There wasn't a trace left of her existence. The bathroom, the dressing room...All that remains are his belongings. She left decisively, without a single thought of him. Darwin felt anger welling up inside initially. He scattered his belongings all over the floor in anger.After venting, fear started to take hold again.He slumped on the sofa and took out his phone to call Fiona.Power off, power off… still powered off.At almost noon, Hathaway called.Darwin looked at his phone and remembered Fiona's resolute resignation that day.He hung up the phone. After a moment, Anniston called. Darwin remained silent for a moment, then answered.“You’re not at the office?” Anniston asked."No," Darwin replied in a cold tone.Suddenly, he felt a surge of anger and a question arose in his mind.Why must there be a marriage alliance?Solomons has grown

"Sis, it's time to eat!"Burl’s voice came from behind.Fiona withdrew her gaze from Sally's phone.“Coming!”his year, Burl has turned 19 years old.Completely different from four years ago, when Fiona first met him, he was thin, short, and scrawny.“Sis, I’m 184 now, impressive, right?”As soon as Fiona sat down, Burl had a proud look, as if seeking praise."What's so impressive about you? It's Grandpa who is impressive." Fiona looked at the kind-eyed old man.Old Allmond had a major illness a few years ago from which he didn't fully recover. He was still thin, and his complexion didn't look that great. However, perhaps because Burl had grown up and was sensible, he was in a good mood and always appeared cheerful, without any worries."Fiona, this big chicken leg is for you. You've gotten much skinnier compared to the last time I saw you."“Yeah, I told her, but she didn’t believe me.” Sally chimed in."Now that you're here with Grandpa, eat more and let Fiona gain some weight too!"

"Mr. Solomon..."The subordinate noticed Darwin’s expression and cautiously called out."Leave."Darwin waved his hand, a weary gesture betraying his exhaustion.The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.That night, Darwin couldn't sleep at all. The next day, before dawn, he drove to the cemetery.He didn’t really know Fiona’s grandmother.They had never really met. Not knowing what to buy for the offering, he ended up getting a bouquet of white chrysanthemums."Sir, are you here to pay respects to Mrs. Aishah?" The caretaker hurried over, looking surprised to see Darwin.This handsome man with an imposing presence was the first-time visitor.“Yes.” Darwin nodded. “It’s my first time here, could you show me the way?”"Oh!" The caretaker was very happy.Usually, only Fiona from the Woods family came to pay her respects.He was certainly pleased to have another person show respect.“What brings you here today?” the caretaker asked as they walked."No." Darwin

Darwin watched.An unknown anger suddenly surged up with him. He picked up a bottle of liquor from the side table and smashed the TV to pieces.On the other hand, Fiona was completely unaware of Darwin's irritability and fear.In the border town, unlike in the big cities, the alliance between conglomerates didn’t attract any attention.Fiona and Burl's grandfather went to the morning market before dawn.Since being with Darwin, Fiona had felt as if her life was on hold every day.It had been a long time since she had experienced this kind of hustle and bustle of life.They spent the whole day shopping and eating, and Fiona’s mood couldn’t have been better.When they returned in the evening, Ashton was on the phone, angrily scolding the newly appointed company boss.Fiona, in a good mood, helped her sort out the ideas for the project that the boss had given her.Ashton was quite pleased and urged Fiona to return quickly.Fiona grumbled and went to write the proposal.For the next few d

"I'm sorry..." Dagmar furrowed his brow.“There’s no need to apologize.” Fiona smiled and asked, “When did you come back?”"Last month," Dagmar replied, pointing to his work badge on his chest. "Now I'm a pediatrician!"Fiona felt a bit puzzled. "Dagmar, you've already immigrated. Why did you come back to work here?"Dagmar felt a bitter pang in his heart. He couldn’t reveal the real reason now."For what else, of course, for the development of Armie Country's pediatric department!" Dagmar tousled Fiona's hair and continued, "Do you have plans for lunch? Brother will treat you!"Fiona glanced at the time. Although she had come early in the morning, there were still examinations, reports to collect, and queues to wait in. In the blink of an eye, it was already almost noon.“Sure!” Fiona happily agreed.Dagmar went to change his jacket, while Fiona waited in place outside the pediatric department. Occasionally, she overheard nurses passing by discussing Dagmar."Dr. Dagmar is so handso

The next day, Dagmar changed into a black suit, meticulously groomed his hair, and even wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, appearing even more refined and cultured.He stood still for a moment, taking in the sight of Fiona in her black down jacket from afar.She ran toward him, her nose red from the morning mist, and her clear eyes seemingly veiled by a layer of mist.The passenger door opened, and she swiftly jumped inside, rubbing her reddened hands."Temperature dropped suddenly. It's too cold!" she exclaimed.The car's heat was turned on.Fiona felt better after a while."Breakfast," Dagmar handed the breakfast to Fiona.Fiona thought it must be bought, perhaps some buns or porridge. But when she opened it..."You made this?" Fiona was taken aback."Yes," Dagmar nodded. "Eat it while it's hot.""Mar, you used to be a kitchen disaster, and now..." Fiona trailed off. "Can you cook?" Fiona exclaimed in surprise."The food abroad is not tasty, so I learned how to cook o

"Fiona!"Dagmar stood up, looking anxious as he tried to approach.Darwin's bodyguards also rushed over.Without a word, they blocked Dagmar.Darwin coldly looked at him. Just moments ago in the car, he received a few videos. Fiona was by his side, laughing heartily. She even bought him ice cream to eat. His hand rested around Fiona’s waist, tightly embracing her. Bending down slightly, he leaned closer to her ear. It seemed as though he was kissing Fiona's hair.But with a voice only they could hear, he whispered, "Fiona, do you want him dead?"A chill surged up Fiona's spine from the soles of her feet."Brother Dagmar, I'm fine. This man... he's my boss. You should go back first."When Fiona referred to him as her boss, his hand around her waist visibly tightened.Dagmar's gaze swept over Darwin's hand. That look was clearly filled with worry and anger.However, it still stung Fiona. Which respectable boss would openly embrace their female employee's waist like this, in front of eve

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

“Monsoon Investment and I have always held deep respect for traditional industries. 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
