Lucas felt uncomfortable the moment Fred mentioned Chelsey's pregnancy.

He remained silent. He picked up the wine decanter and kept filling his glass. They drank white wine that night.

Lucas was somewhat tipsy after downing three full glasses.

"Mr. Jenson, you can still introduce your niece to me, even though she's pregnant. Hahaha!

"If I marry her, I'll get a kid, too. That's a good deal."

Fred burst out laughing, thinking that Lucas was joking. He even chuckled until tears streamed.

After that, Fred confessed, "I actually thought about it. But I'm afraid her boyfriend won't agree.

"He's the future heir of the Somner family in Westine. They've known each other since they were kids.

"Also, the Somners are quite conservative. My niece can't marry into the family unless she gives birth to a son."

Lucas frowned, feeling even more uncomfortable upon hearing that.

"Is that so?"

He would risk his life to save Chelsey. Yet, in Timothy's eyes, she was merely a tool to give bi

    Lucas answered, "He's staying at the Hilton Hotel, Room 1880.""Okay. Thank you, Mr. Yates. Bye."With that said, Chelsey ended the call. She quickly wrote down the room number on a piece of paper lest she forget it in the morning. Lucas was momentarily in a daze while holding Fred's phone.Once he made sure Chelsey had hung up, he slowly put down the phone. …Chelsey walked out of her bedroom to find Timothy still watching a movie in the living room."Uncle Fred won't be coming back tonight. You should go to bed after you finish this movie," said Chelsey."Okay." Timothy looked at her and asked, "Do you want supper?""You feel like having supper?" Chelsey inquired.The mention of supper made her stomach growl a little. "Yeah, I feel like having spaghetti bolognese. What about you? Do you want some?"Chelsey could not resist after hearing that. "Yes, please, I want spaghetti bolognese, too.""With some meatballs?"Chelsey eagerly responded, "Yes, please!""What ab

    Fred took a sip of the hangover remedy and noticed Lucas staring at the bowl in his hand.He was momentarily stunned. He extended his hand and said, "Have some, Mr. Yates. We drank a lot last night."Fred then passed the bowl over to Lucas while Lucas reached out to accept it. Suddenly, Fred thought of something and pulled back. Lucas shifted his gaze from the bowl to Fred's face, a hint of displeasure evident in his eyes. Fred chuckled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yates. I already drank from this bowl. If you don't mind, you can have some from the thermos flask."Under Lucas' intent gaze, Fred passed the thermos flask to him. Lucas immediately took it. He was afraid Fred might change his mind. While Fred slowly drank the hangover remedy, Lucas held the thermos flask and took a big gulp.Lucas exclaimed, "Chelsey's hangover remedy is really good!""Yes, it is," Fred agreed with a smile. He took another sip, and only then did he catch on. "Mr. Yates, I don't think I'v

    Lucas and Fred then headed to the hotel's restaurant for the breakfast buffet.After that, the duo signed the agreement at Yates Group.Fred did not expect the entire process to go so smoothly. Even during the signing, he was still somewhat disoriented. It seemed like the alcohol from the night before had not worn off.On the other hand, Lucas signed the contract swiftly mainly because of Chelsey.She was one of Jenson Corporation's shareholders. If the company made money, that meant Chelsey would be earning, too. Lucas hoped she could live comfortably. He felt that with financial security, Chelsey would be confident to continue living, even if she could not marry into the Somner family.…Taking the contract with him, Fred immediately went to Chelsey's place. She stood at the door, waiting for him. She even got a pair of indoor slippers ready for him. "Uncle Fred," Chelsey greeted. Fred looked at Chelsey's prominent baby bump. He suddenly felt somewhat emotional. "It h

    Fred finally understood that Chelsey was fearless because she had someone spoiling and supporting her unconditionally.And that person was none other than Timothy. Chelsey took a bite of the cupcake. It was soft, and it melted in her mouth instantly. "Tim, your baking skill is getting better!" she praised him.Timothy chuckled. "Do you think I can open a bakery in the future?""Of course! I'll be your loyal customer and visit the store every day."Chelsey happily savored the cupcake. Observing her carefree demeanor, Fred could not help but feel that her life was not bad. She was living the way she wanted to and was not anyone's accessory.Even if Chelsey did not marry into the Somner family, she could still lead a worry-free life.Fred felt relieved at that thought. That afternoon, news of Shannon's car accident made it onto the trending list on social media. Although her injuries were not life-threatening, her arm was fractured. There was a possibility that she might

    Shannon was aware of the predicament she and Jasmine were in.Ever since her father's mistress gave birth to a son, Jasmine was constantly on edge. She feared Shannon's father would kick her out. As for Shannon, aside from the label of being the daughter of a wealthy family, she had nothing."Mom, I understand." Shannon composed herself and wiped her face.She believed that with her looks, making Lucas fall for her was not a challenge. She must be confident in herself. Lucas only visited Shannon in the hospital with Josie in the afternoon.Upon seeing the pale Shannon lying in the hospital bed, Josie's eyes turned red with anger. "Shannon, I'm sorry you have to go through this. We must punish the culprit who hurt you!" On the other hand, Lucas sat by the bed, looking at Shannon indifferently. The more he looked at her, the more unfamiliar she seemed. Shannon gazed back at Lucas. "Luke, I was terrified I wouldn't be able to see you again. I want to marry you and have

    As soon as Lucas got into the car, Mark informed him, "Mr. Yates, our men just reported back. Ms. White was already hit by a car before they could take any action."After hearing that, Lucas frowned slightly and immediately thought of Timothy. Besides him, the only other culprit could be Timothy.Nevertheless, Lucas did not give it much thought."Got it," he replied.He then returned to the office. It was already late at night when Lucas finished his work. He stood by the French windows, watching the neon lights flicker. A sudden sense of loneliness washed over him. The city's hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him. In the end, Lucas was alone, walking on the edge of darkness. He took out his spare phone and scrolled through Chelsey's Instagram. Lucas had saved all the pictures she had posted. Whenever she did not update, he would look at the old photos. Suddenly, Chelsey texted, "Mr. L, this is the final draft. Please have a look. If you're happy with it, I'll ha

    After completing her new design, Chelsey was so excited that she had trouble sleeping. She lay in bed, tossing and turning. As her belly grew bigger, Chelsey could not sleep on her back anymore. She had to sleep on her side. But even so, half of her body would go numb after a while. With three months left until her delivery due date, she wanted to finish two or three more designs if her body could take it. Being occupied with tasks made the time more bearable. Chelsey woke up early the following morning. As soon as she opened the door, she found Timothy and Fred sleeping on the couch in awkward positions. She went into the room and retrieved two blankets for them.Fred was sleeping soundly. So, when Chelsey covered him with the blanket, he did not react.Timothy, on the other hand, abruptly opened his eyes when she placed the blanket over him. He even reflexively grabbed Chelsey's wrist. A cold, terrifying glint flickered in Timothy's eyes as soon as he opened them. "

    Timothy soon received the photo of Shannon's swollen face.His lips curled into a cold smirk while his eyes were dark and sinister. Fred finally woke up around noon. He rushed to the bathroom and threw up. He felt better after taking a shower. Fred drank heavily for two consecutive days. He could not take it anymore.The hangover remedy Chelsey made had already become cold. After warming it up, she handed a bowl to Fred.He took a sip and sighed. "Chels, I feel energized after taking this. Send me the recipe later, and I'll have my housekeeper make it for me when I return.""Uncle Fred, you mustn't drink so much. Your health is the priority. You're almost 40 and not a young lad anymore."Chelsey felt her heartache when she noticed strands of white hair at Fred's temples. "I'm still young!" Fred argued.He refused to admit he was already middle-aged, determined to cling to his youth. Chelsey shook her head helplessly. "Uncle Fred, when will you get married? Find a wife

    Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand

    Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense

    Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi

    Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h

    Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi

    Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be

    Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi

    Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b

    Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
