Sally only realized that she had walked straight into Old Master Tate’s trap after Elijah had given her a lengthy explanation.

She pursed her lips and mumbled, “You business people are too smart.”

Then, she buried her head into Elijah’s arms and said pitifully, “Hubby, did I say something wrong?”

Elijah could only shake his head as he watched his girl act like a kitten.

He raised a hand to ruffle her hair. “It’s not your fault.”

“Even if you didn’t respond, Old Master Tate still meant what he had said.”

“It’s just a difference between whether anyone said yes to him or not.”

Still feeling uncomfortable, Sally pursed her lips and said, “Well, I’ll never speak recklessly again.”

“These rich people are too scary.”

Elijah smirked as he placed a kiss on her soft lips. “I’m also rich. Am I scary?”

The man’s gaze grew even more flirtatious and dangerous.

His gaze frightened Sally so much that she hurriedly scrambled away from his lap and backed away until she landed on th

    When she married Elijah, she had thought that she would have to take care of him for the rest of her life. She had genuinely thought that he was a blind, wheelchair-bound man. However… He had given her so many surprises, so many things to be touched about, so many… things that she could never let go of. The girl tightened her grasp on his large hand. She would stay with him and ensure they never separated.—————— The Tate’s dining room was already filled with people when Elijah and Sally arrived. The Tate family had obviously invited many politicians and businessmen to celebrate Bennet’s birthday this year. Everyone present was a leading figure in their respective cities. A waiter guided Elijah and Sally to their seats, which had been reserved with place cards. Elijah had done a lot of business in the West, which meant that the person sitting on his left began talking to him the minute he sat down. Sally sat quietly in her seat and took a look at her surroundin

    Sally’s heartbeat increased and her face paled as the man leaned his head against hers. She was so nervous, her hand that was holding her phone was also shaking! The girl hurriedly moved her head away. However, because she was so nervous and could not think straight, moved in the wrong direction——Her head collided with Zane’s. The man clutched at his head and groaned in pain. “Hey, bunny, all I wanted to do was have a peek at your messages with your friend. Did you have to seek revenge this way?” He did not bother speaking softly and attracted the attention of literally everyone present at the table. Murmurs rang out across the room. “That’s Zane Larson, the young master of the Larson family in Z City! I heard that he’s quite the flirt.” “Who’s that beside him, his new lover?” “That look is way too corny. Both her eyes and face are so round, she looks like a total nerd… Has Young Master Larson’s taste in women deteriorated so badly?” “Hahahahaha——!” As the sounds

    Zane shifted back into serious mode as he furrowed his brow to glare at her. “Don’t forget that we’re here to find Aunt Nat’s daughter! We’re not here to cause trouble!” Jill pouted as she glared at Sally. “I’ll get revenge on her one day!” “No one has ever dared talk back to me in an argument!” Zane ruffled her hair. “Aunt Nat has spoiled you.” ——————Everyone present had been waiting for about ten minutes before Old Master Tate finally appeared with Bennet, who helped him settle into his seat at the head of the table. “Sorry for the wait.” “I know that you youngsters don’t usually have dinner at this time.” “However, my body is not as strong as it used to be. I have to have an early meal so that I can retreat to bed early. Sorry about that!” “It’s alright!” Zane smiled and said, “We youngsters should take a lesson or two on your wellness habits.” “After all, we’re at the Tate household. We should assimilate into our surroundings and learn from your good habits!”

    The Tate family had an amazing chef.Every dish was even better than the ones Seth’s chefs at The Golden Age prepared! The servants stopped Sally after dinner to take note of what dishes she had liked. Sally sprawled across the table and stared at the empty dishes, unable to decide when she recalled how every dish looked. In the end, the girl raised her head and gazed pitifully at the servant who was in charge of taking notes. “Well… can I like some dishes today, some other dishes tomorrow, and like the rest of the dishes the day after tomorrow?” The servant pursed their lips embarrassedly. “I… I’m afraid that’s not possible.” The smile never left Elijah’s lips as he glanced gently at his girl, who was unable to make a decision. In the end, the man came up with a solution. “Just tell Old Master Tate that she enjoyed all the dishes served tonight.” “But…” The servant furrowed their brows in thought before saying, “Alright!” Sally stood up and burped after the servant

    “I won’t be worried if your daughter with Nat is this lucky!” “Ah——Ahchoo——!”Sally sneezed violently as they strolled through the garden. Elijah furrowed his brows and took off his jacket to drape it around her shoulders. “Are you cold?” Sally nodded. “A little bit.” “We’ve been walking for an hour.” The man walked slowly down the cobblestone path with one hand in his pocket. The light from the moon and lamp stretched out his shadow. He turned sideways to gaze gently at Sally. “It’s been an hour, the food in your stomach should have been adequately digested. Do you want to go back or continue digesting it?” Sally’s face turned bright red. She stammered, “When… when did I say I was going to digest the food in my stomach…” “I’m here to… to admire the scenery!” She took a deep breath and looked at the dark view before her. “I’m here to admire the beauty of the Tate family’s garden!” “Yes!” “I’m here to admire it! I regret not bringing the SLR camera that Seth gav

    That night, Elijah carried Sally on his back to return to their room. She had mischievously spanked Elijah when they were still fooling around. Worried that the man would come after her to teach her a lesson, Sally sped off the minute she had spanked him. However, Sally had forgotten that ever since she had stepped foot into the Tate house, she had been wearing the crystal heels that Elijah had prepared. Thus——“Ow——!” The girl howled in pain. Elijah shook his head as he walked over and bent down before her. “Hop on.” Sally was on the verge of tears. “Hubby, am I dumb?” “You’re not dumb.” The man’s low voice was laced with a hint of laughter. “You knew that you had to run after spanking me. How could that be considered dumb?” Sally’s face turned crimson. “Hubby, I’m sorry…” Well, she had been delighted to see him this happy tonight and had lost her mind amid her happiness. “I’m not blaming you.” The man picked her up gently. “It’s my fault.” “I shouldn’t ha

    Sally shook her head. “When I first landed on the ground, it hurt a lot, but after taking a few steps, it seems like it’s gotten much better.”“That’s good then.”The man smiled slightly and held her hand. Then, the two of them walked slowly down the long and patterned corridor, looking like a beautiful couple.When the two arrived at the dining hall, there were already a few people seated inside.The massive table could seat up to fifty or sixty people.Under the attendant’s direction, Sally and Elijah sat down in their seats—which had their names carved into a plate—that they had sat in yesterday.As before, it was boring waiting for time to pass.Sally yawned, leaning into the crook of Elijah’s arm as she held her phone and looked at Evonne’s complaints from today.Evonne: [Sal, this person, Zoey Williams, is really…[She kept wanting me to find out what you like to eat, so I arbitrarily said you liked to eat chicken drumsticks.[Do you know what happened?[She stole all

    “With an ill-mannered person like you throwing her weight around, how could we possible sleep well?”Jill did not think that there was anything improper with what she said and instead doubled down. “This is the first time that I’ve seen someone who, after being invited as a guest, could actually be insolent enough to wear slippers to attend a formal occasion!”“Tsk tsk tsk, how shameful!”Queenie gave a cold laugh as well. She crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at Sally condescendingly. “Mrs. Moses, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”Just as the people around them were getting all stirred up criticizing her, the two Tate men arrived.Almost the exact same moment they took their seats, Queenie began to stir up trouble. “Dad, Grandpa, take a look. That little Mrs. Moses that you all said you liked is actually such an impolite person!”On her birthday, Old Master Tate had not even put in the slightest effort to wish her happy birthday.As the biological g

    ————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp

    “If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir

    The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi

    “In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.

    The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr

    After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have

    Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e

    Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never

    When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
