Timothy left at 10:00 pm. Lucas was secretly overjoyed when Timothy left. No matter what, he thought that Timothy didn't deserve Chelsey. After all, she'd just give birth to Timothy's child. How could Timothy not stay and keep her company? Moreover, Timothy's family hadn't visited her. They didn't even think of sparing the baby a glance. It was as clear as day that his family didn't want to accept her and the baby. Lucas looked at the baby, who was fast asleep in the crib and thought to himself, "Daddy's here. Daddy will protect you and Mommy!" After feeding the baby and changing his diapers, it appeared that Lucas had taken on the role of a father.The baby was so small that Lucas had to be slow and extremely gentle when he changed the baby's diapers for fear he hurt the baby. Chelsey watched as Lucas took great care of the baby. She couldn't find it in her to ask Lucas to leave. She decided she'd let him look after his baby for a while longer. Once they leave the hos
"You've got poop on your hands," Chelsey reminded Lucas when she saw his hands smudged with the baby's feces."It's fine," said Lucas. "It's not that foul-smelling." His face practically lit up with satisfaction when he said that, which rendered Chelsey speechless. She stared at Lucas, not knowing what to say. She wondered if he had perhaps learned that the baby was his.However, Lucas' following words cleared her doubts. "The next time Timothy visits, we should make him change the baby's diapers," said Lucas. "We can't let him off the hook so easily." It seemed that Lucas still thought that Timothy was the baby's father. Chelsey laughed briefly at that realisation. It wouldn't be wise to call him an idiot since Yates Group was one of the world's top 100 most affluent companies. Still, it wasn't right to call him smart either since he couldn't recognise his flesh and blood. Everyone knew that he was the baby's father. Everyone but him. Chelsey watched as Lucas grabb
Lucas acted like he didn't hear what Clara said. He sat on the couch and stared at his phone. However, his ears gave him away because they were as red as they could be from blushing. He'd spent every ounce of strength in his body to restrain himself when he helped Chelsey with the blockage in her breasts yesterday. He kept on telling himself that he shouldn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward a woman who'd just given birth. Still, he couldn't prevent his thoughts from straying. Chelsey texted Sandra to check in on her. Sandra was busy with work overseas, and Chelsey didn't want to disturb her. That was why Chelsey didn't tell Sandra that she'd given birth. Meanwhile, Sandra counted the days when she would finally finish all her work and return to Westine to be present when Chelsey gave birth. The two of them chatted online for a long time. When Clara entered the ward, she reminded Chelsey not to be on her phone too long because it would harm her eyes. After all, Chel
The baby was almost 11 pounds already. The doctor said he was developing so well that he'd gain weight and reach 11 pounds in just a few days. When Chelsey reached home, Dianne and Edward had only just arrived too. When they noticed how flat Chelsey's tummy had become, Dianne was so shocked that she immediately asked, "Chels, what happened to your baby?"To calm her down, Chelsey quickly explained, "Don't worry, Grandma. I gave birth to him a few days ago. I was just discharged from the hospital. The baby's in the incubator in the hospital. He'll be back in a few days."She continued, "I'm sorry for not informing you and Grandpa. I was afraid that you'd worry about me. My baby and I are fine, so please don't worry!" Tears streaked Dianne's cheeks as she ranted, "How could you not tell us sooner? How could you hide this from us? Don't do this again! You have to tell us right away no matter what happens!" "Okay, Grandma," said Chelsey, patting Dianne's back to calm her down.
After seeing how Chelsey loved flipping through old photo albums, Dianne asked the maid to bring all the albums they had downstairs. Chelsey opened her parents' album first. There were lots of photos of her parents inside. There were even some photos of her when she was young. As she flipped through the pages, she noticed an unfamiliar face in one of the group photos. She asked curiously, "Grandma, who's this?" "He's your father's good friend, Zach Fisher. He and your father invested in the pharmaceutical company together. He manages the company, and it's expanded quite a bit," explained Dianne. She added, "Your father's shares will be passed down to you once you turn 25. They're in my hands for now."Dianne looked at the photo with Zach inside. She said regretfully, "Zach's about the same age as your father. You've grown up, yet he's still single and doesn't have a child." "I see," Chelsey said, vaguely remembering that she'd heard of him before. If she remembered cl
Chelsey could only look at the pictures and videos of the baby when she didn't video call Lucas. Before giving birth, she never thought she'd love her baby this much. She missed him every minute or so when she couldn't see him. She even thought her love for the baby for the past few days was more potent than her love for Lucas for the past ten years. It appeared that the ten years she spent with Lucas would pale compared to the few days she had with her baby.…After feeding the baby, Lucas checked his diaper and stood to one side, waiting for the time he could feed the baby again. Just then, Mark entered the room with the phone he used for business-related matters. Mark said in a low voice, "Mr. Yates, someone's calling." The phone had rung so frequently that Lucas asked Mark to take it outside to avoid waking up the baby. "Okay," said Lucas, walking over to get the phone. He put it to his ear and asked, "Who is it?" "Hello, Thunder," said the voice. It was eerie
With a look of resolution, Lucas said, "If he wants my life, I'll give it to him. But if he so much as tries to harm the baby, I won't hesitate to kill him!" Felicity was sick of violence, but her sense of justice made her take Lucas' side. "We'll put an end to him for good this time," she spat, her eyes simmering with rage. "Don't tell Chelsey about this," Lucas reminded her. "I know." Felicity had never been one to gossip or spill secrets. "Okay then, off you go," said Lucas, returning to the baby's side.When he looked at the baby, his wrath vanished instantly. His piercing gaze changed to become gentle and loving. …Fred returned for dinner at night. Before dinner, Chelsey asked him to talk in the garden. Fred had donated everything in the vault, and although it wasn't publicly announced, anyone who knew of its location was aware. Still, Chelsey didn't think that she'd be free from danger after this. Her face was grave when she asked Fred, "Uncle Fred, how muc
"I see," said Chelsey. She understood Fred's concerns. After mulling it over, she said, "I'll treat Uncle Zach to lunch or dinner when I'm no longer in confinement.""Sure." Fred nodded. "Zach's a good guy who's really amiable. He's also kind and he's helped lots of children in need. He even started a foundation called 'Cosmic Foundation' to help those in need.""I see. He's a really kind man." Chelsey's impression of Zach changed. She reckoned that Zach must not be a bad person since he was a good friend of her father's.If he truly were a bad guy, her father wouldn't have become friends with him. Fred's phone started ringing, so he walked away to answer the call. Lia just so happened to arrive home. When she got out of the car, she noticed that Chelsey's stomach was now flat. Lia's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Did you get an abortion?" Her question was so ridiculous that Chelsey didn't know how to respond. If a person had nothing nice to say, they'd
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
