Catelyn instinctively took a step back and shielded her belly with her hands, her terrified eyes visibly hardening in vigilance.The anger in Cedrick's eyes flared. It was as if there was a thin film between them, and he only needed to stretch out his hand to poke for it to burst.The film of their relationship.Anger, annoyance, and various other negative emotions were intertwined and finally turned into helplessness.All of a sudden, Cedrick lowered his head and captured her lips in a kiss.It felt that it had been a century since he last kissed her so deeply. Her sweetness and softness made him so intoxicated that the kiss became delicate and lasted long.It was just that when the kiss got out of control, Catelyn smelled a very faint smell of medicine wine on his body, and nausea suddenly surged in her stomach.Catelyn could not hold it anymore. She pushed Cedrick away, covered her mouth with one hand, and rushed toward the women's bathroom frantically."Blergh!" With one ha
Catelyn panted and shook her hand agitatedly. "You're talking nonsense!""Yael's test results have been out a long time ago, and they're now in my office. It proves that the virus carried in this child's body far exceeds the amount in my body. Do you know what that means? This child can only live in an incubator with endless medicines and injections every day. The baby is clueless about their fate, yet they'll suffer horrendously. Do you have the heart to watch such a young infant being tortured every day? Catelyn, accept reality and send them. Miles and Ollie are more than enough."Cedrick's voice gradually weakened as he, who was often hubristic, became helpless and sad at that very moment. He wanted a daughter, but he could not even protect Catelyn from pain and suffering.He struggled to tell Catelyn the truth, but he did not think he did anything wrong.This child could not be kept.Catelyn could not take care of this child for a year, two years, or even ten years, let alone
Back when she was in the art gallery's bathroom, she discovered that there were paparazzi outside, seemingly chasing after a well-known painter. After seeing her, the paparazzi gave up chasing the painter and came for her instead.Joanne managed to shake them off after hiding in the bathroom for a long time, but as she did, she heard the paparazzi talking about Edwin. Apparently, someone photographed him entering the hospital in the middle of the night, and that hospital happened to be the private hospital where Catelyn had her prenatal checkup.Joanne inquired about the ward number at the registration desk, took the elevator, and arrived at a ward.It was after-work hours, so the floor of the hospital was rather vacant.When she was about to knock on the door, she noticed that the door was ajar and she could vaguely see someone walking inside.Joanne perked up and listened into what was in the ward, and she heard a woman's voice."Eddy, thank you for helping me last night. If yo
Joanne scratched her nose and frowned.'So she was his first lover? Why did he lie to me that she was just his classmate? Is it because he's afraid that I'll tell Grandma?' Joanne pondered."Hello, Miss Sinclair, I'm Joanne. Joanne Winters, a female artist under Mister Atherton's company!""Joanne?" Noah's sight jumped between Joanne and Edwin, and she smiled gently. "Fortunately, I've seen your profile before. You supported an entertainment company all on your own."Liking to be praised, Joanne's eyes seemingly twinkled. She wanted to play it off coolly, but the lifting corners of her mouth said it all.Edwin looked at Joanne, who was smiling secretly, and his already aching head worsened. 'Wasn't she eavesdropping at the door? Isn't she suspicious when she saw me with Noah?'"Noah, Joanne's being humble here. She has another identity to her, so let me introduce her to you," said Edwin' smirking."Another identity?""Didn't you always want to see my wife? Here she is. You can
Otherwise, if Edwin divorced her, she would not know if Noah would take good care of her child.Biting her lip, Joanne's eyes dulled as though shrouded with mist.She blinked hard a few times, squeezed her chubby face, showed a cute smile in front of the mirror, and sniffled. She managed to suppress her inner sadness....Joanne opened the bathroom door, and her long hair, which was originally loose, was tied into a bun, revealing her chubby face.That appearance made Noah a little jealous again.After all, she had gone through many things and endured so much stress that her face was full of wrinkles."Joanne." Noah walked toward her fondly, took her hand, and winked playfully. "I want to work in Eclipse, but Eddy said that you might be unhappy and won't pass my interview."'Eddy? Such an intimate way of calling him…' Joanne felt a little disgusted by this.Only someone close to Edwin like Granny Atherton would call him Eddy.There was a hint of expectation in Edwin's express
Joanne bit her lower lip and knelt.She then looked up at Sylvie, who was sitting on the couch in the middle, and she no longer had the gentleness and kindness she used to have for her.Sylvie stared at Joanne coldly and said to Harry, "Harry, tell her what you've found."Harry stood up from his seat, took out a stack of women's hygiene products from a storage box, and threw it in front of Joanne with a look of disgust."Mom, I used to wonder why a notorious actress would fall in love with Eddy, so I asked the maids to keep an eye on her, and these are what they found. These aren't what a pregnant woman would use, are they?""I had someone follow her, and it was exactly as I expected. Today, at the elevator entrance of the private hospital, she admitted that she wasn't pregnant. She went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. She's been lying to us all this time!"The fierce light in Sylvie's eyes intensified at this. She loved Joanne so much and cared so much for the c
"How come it's a coincidence that you bought an expired pregnancy test stick, and it turned out to show two lines? I'm sure someone's trying to use the child to tie herself to Eddy!""I didn't!" Joanne yelled back at Harry angrily. "Pretending to be pregnant wasn't my idea at all!"Sylvie was shocked, and her face suddenly turned pale.Seeing that, Kelly hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and reprimanded Joanne, "Miss Winters, everyone knows that Master Edwin is obsessed with you. Are you saying that Master Edwin was the one who planned all these to fool Old Madam Atherton? How dare you?!"Joanne thought of the close relationship between Edwin and Sylvie. If she said it was Edwin's idea, Sylvie would be hurt even more.After all, being hurt by the one who trusted and cared the most, hurt the most.A wild thought suddenly occurred to Joanne.'Noah is back at Edwin's side now, so I'm…basically useless now.'Gritting her teeth, Joanne said loudly, "Well, since you found out, then I
Joanne stared at the check in front of her, written with a handsome sum.In the past, Sylvie often gave her a check, saying it was her pocket money. At this moment, however, it was nothing but hush money....Joanne had quietly left with a cab under the bright moonlight.The whole manor was well furnished, but Sylvie felt empty. All the feelings and expectations that she had for Joanne for the past few months vanished.Kelly came back and told Sylvie that Joanne was a hypocrite after all and left without taking any money.Sylvie sighed faintly, unable to tell whether it was more anger or more helplessness in her heart.She could barely sleep a wink that midnight, so she got up, went to Edwin's bedroom, and turned on the light. The bright bedroom was still the same as before Joanne left with all the vintage decorations.In fact, there was something on the nightstand.It was the silver bracelet she gave to Joanne before.Seeing Sylvie staring at the silver bracelet in a daze, K
