Lia could travel with her friends, eat and drink whatever she liked, do anything she wished, and fall sweetly in love. Chelsey, on the other hand, had never gone on a vacation. She never got to enjoy all the drinks and food she wanted or even experience a sweet, loving relationship.She was only 23, yet she'd been through so much. She had gotten married, divorced, and given birth to a child. Some people hadn't even gone through all that in their 30s, yet she had already experienced them. Chelsey entered her room, shut the door, and changed into her pajamas. She lay on the bed to rest.There was nothing to do. It was so dull that she started looking at the pictures and videos of her baby again. Among the pictures and videos Lucas had sent to her, he accidentally sent a selfie he took with the baby. It wasn't taken from a nice angle. Although his self-portrait skills were cringe-worthy, he was good-looking enough to make the picture redeemable. Chelsey stared at the pictu
It was nighttime. Lucas didn't feel like sleeping at all. He was still looking after the baby. Mark couldn't learn where the call came from, but he discovered that the truck driver had called the same number once during the car crash that day. Still, the driver insisted that the accident happened because he was simply too tired that day, which caused him to make a blunder. He refused to admit that it was a murder attempt. It suddenly occurred to Lucas that he'd dragged Chelsey into this. He was their target. Therefore, if he stayed far away enough from Chelsey and her baby, he might be able to protect them from harm. Lucas stared at the baby. His heart melted at the sight of the sleeping baby, but sorrow washed over his heart. He'd only spent five days with the baby, yet he'd started seeing the baby as his own. Timothy refused to look after the baby, so Lucas was here instead. Lucas even wished he could care for the baby as his father for the rest of his life. The baby
#Timothy had a smile plastered to his face when he spoke, but his words were nothing but cruel. "Okay," said Lucas, his voice low. "I get it." Timothy seemed to realize that there was something else behind Lucas' words. So, he asked, "Was someone behind that car crash?" "I don't know," said Lucas honestly. "Just take good care of Chelsey and the baby." He hung up right after that to prepare to board the plane. With his phone still in hand, Timothy frowned in thought. There was something fishy about this incident. He then asked someone to look into it. …After returning to Jenton City, Lucas' life returned to normal. He went to work every single day. He also paused the work of moving his company's main headquarters to Westine. Although he didn't stay by Chelsey's side, Felicity would report Chelsey's condition to him every day. She would even take pictures of the baby and send them to him. The baby grew up fast in a month. He seemed to become increasingly good-l
Shannon paled immediately at that question. She instinctively covered her injured hand with her other. Although her wound seemed to have healed, it only seemed well on the surface. Her arm would hurt whenever the weather changed. Sometimes, it hurt so badly that she wanted to grab a knife and cut it off. Still, she'd sacrificed so much. It would be a waste if she gave up now. She was reluctant to give in. After a moment, Shannon said, "Luke, I didn't cause trouble for Chelsey. I didn't even go to Westine. I promise I'll be good and listen to you." Lucas knew what Shannon was thinking. What she wanted was his status and power. She never loved him. It was thanks to that accident that he saw things for what they really were and learned who truly loved him. Ignoring Shannon, he walked over to the dining table, took a seat, and indulged himself in the food. Shannon sat opposite him, her gaze occasionally falling on him. Meanwhile, Josie kept putting in a good word or two for S
Timothy answered the call soon enough. Lucas said icily, "Come to Jenton City tomorrow for a fight." His demand confused Timothy. Nevertheless, Timothy flew to Jenton City the next day. He stood at the entrance of Yates Group and blocked Lucas' path. Then, he landed a punch squarely in Lucas' face and spat, "Chels is mine, and her child is mine too! You'd better stay away from her. Don't blame me for beating you up otherwise!" Lucas had no intention of becoming a punching bag. He retaliated by sending punch after punch at Timothy and yelling, "You're a rascal! A useless piece of shit! I'll beat you to a pulp! Give Chels back to me! She's mine! You're so dead!"Lucas had the upper hand in the fight, but Timothy wasn't one to give up so easily. The two of them were tangled up in their brawl, which attracted many curious glances from those around them. Someone even started filming the fight. The security guards from Yates Group rushed out to drag the two furious men away fr
It was Josie who told Shannon to prepare lunch for Lucas. Back then, Chelsey was both stubborn and brazen enough to remain by his side. She didn't back away despite how he cursed at her and chased her away. Eventually, she managed to stay by his side to look after him. She became his wife after that. Josie said that if Shannon truly loved Lucas, she had to be determined and continue on her chosen path. She could not give up, or all her hard work would be wasted. Shannon herself knew that convincing Lucas to accept her was no small feat. Therefore, she needed to learn how to become a gentle and thoughtful person to transform into a mother figure for his future child.Before this, she'd only ever played the cello. She'd never stepped foot in the kitchen to prepare a meal. Now that she couldn't play the cello anymore, she could only start learning how to cook. Shannon neatly arranged the dishes that she'd made on the table. Lucas never spared her a glance. He hated her ever
Felicity stood at the door, staring at Chelsey. Her calm eyes were full of confusion. She simply didn't understand Chelsey's actions. She couldn't understand what was so nice about the baby's feet that Chelsey had to kiss them non-stop. She wondered if Chelsey found them smelly.It seemed, to Felicity, that Chelsey's behavior had become more peculiar since giving birth to the child.Back then, Chelsey was an ordinary person who behaved normally. Now, she appeared to be more foolish.As Felicity watched on, she suddenly felt her stomach flip. She covered her mouth with one hand, trying to swallow back whatever she was about to throw up. However, the more she held it in, the more awful she felt. She dashed into the bathroom and retched. The noise was so loud that Chelsey ran over to see what was happening. This time, Chelsey stood by the door to watch Felicity. "Fel, are you unwell?"Felicity retched for quite some time, but she couldn't expel anything from her stomach. She
Felicity's temperament changed after learning that she was pregnant. She'd watched Chelsey and Clara take care of Chelsey's baby for so long. She'd keep in mind all the details of taking care of a baby so that she could implement those methods when she raised her own baby in the future. To her, falling pregnant was akin to hitting the jackpot. Felicity was overwhelmed with joy. However, she didn't have anyone to share the joy with. She didn't even plan to tell Lucas about this. She must keep this a secret from everyone. …It was late when Fred came back home from work. Still, he had to return no matter how late it was as long as Felicity was at home. He didn't voice it aloud, but he was content with being able to see her at home every day. Fred knew that Felicity was no ordinary woman. He hesitated to pursue her so abruptly, so he tried to take things slowly by getting close to her first. He warmed a glass of milk and brought it to the second floor to give to Felicit
