Chelsey was worn out but couldn't fall asleep after hearing the baby's cries.The baby drank the milk she gave him. Now that he was full, he fell asleep pretty quickly. He lay in the crib beside Chelsey, his face chubby and his skin fair. The longer she looked at him, the cuter she thought he was. She became less sleepy after staring at the baby for some time. It suddenly occurred to her that Lucas hadn't called her after returning to Jenton City. He didn't message her either. She wondered what he was busy with. She took a picture of the baby and sent it to him. Attached with the picture was a message. "Has he gotten plumper now?" Lucas was drinking his time away in a club when he received her message. Instead of replying, he poured himself another glass of wine. "Why did you… betray me?" he muttered to himself. "Why… I like you so much! Why did you cheat on me… I hate you!" He raised his head and gulped down the whole glass of wine. Suddenly, his phone rang. He pick
Chelsey thought Lucas didn't deserve to know the truth.…Sandra managed to return to Alvaria before New Year's. The instant she stepped on Alvarian soil, she rushed to the Jenson residence to see Chelsey. When she finally arrived, she discovered the baby was almost one month old. The realization pissed her off. She stomped her feet in anger. "Chels! How could you not tell me about this? Am I still a friend to you?" Guilt-stricken, Chelsey quickly coaxed her. "Don't be mad, Sandra. I didn't want to disturb you while you were working. I was worried that you'd return because of it, so I didn't tell you immediately. Don't be mad." Sandra protruded her lower lip in annoyance as she glared at Chelsey. "Work? Work is nothing compared to you! I went to work because I was bored, okay? It's not like I can't survive without a job!" Later, when Sandra saw the baby in the stroller, her wrath vanished with the wind."He's so cute!" she exclaimed, her heart melting into an imagina
When Chelsey was finally released from confinement, she got Fred's help to invite Zach to dinner. Zach happily agreed to it when he learned of that. They would have dinner at a rather opulent restaurant serving Havtarian cuisine. The private room Chelsey booked enabled its customers to have a view of the lake near the restaurant. The room had a balcony. It was the perfect place to have tea and relax after a meal. Zach's appearance was similar to what Chelsey imagined him to be. His face showed little signs of aging. The few wrinkles on his face made him appear refined and gave him an air of maturity and elegance. Even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes made him seem all the more charming. When Chelsey saw him, she smiled and called out to him. "Uncle Zach! Long time no see!" Zach's eyes turned red-rimmed when he saw her. "Chels, you've grown." His voice trembled a little when he spoke. "I'm 23 now. We haven't seen each other in 17 years," said Chelsey.Sh
Chelsey wasn't planning to hide the fact that she had a child. Zach would find out sooner or later anyway. It was best just to be honest with him. "You have a child already?" asked Zach, surprised. "When did you give birth? I haven't prepared anything to give to the baby." Chelsey was slightly embarrassed when she told him, "It was about a month and a half ago. Not many people know this." "Fred never told me!" Zach exclaimed. "How dare he! I'm gonna beat him up!"Zach instantly produced a check out of thin air, signed it, and handed it to Chelsey. "This my gift to the baby," he said. "Fill in the numbers as you like." This was the first time Chelsey received a blank cashier's check. Zach was simply too charitable. "Don't, Uncle Zach. I can't accept this. I'm treating you to dinner today, so I won't let you spend a single dime. I really can't take this." Chelsey returned the check. Zach was merely a friend of her father's, yet he was willing to give her a blank pa
The studio took on Lia's order. They told her it would take three days and cost 500 dollars. Lia promptly paid and eagerly waited for the finished product. On the other hand, Chelsey had no idea what Lia was up to. Chelsey's attention and thoughts were all on her baby, Cole. Cole grew cuter every day. As Chelsey looked at her little one, all her worries faded away. Sometimes, she even forgot about Lucas. Cole had become her entire world. It had been almost three months since Felicity fell pregnant. Every day, she watched Chelsey care for Cole. Although Chelsey was exhausted, she still found joy in it. Felicity became increasingly excited for her own baby to arrive. At three months, her belly was still not prominent. Nevertheless, Felicity had already switched to loose clothing. She could no longer conceal her belly when the weather turned warmer. Felicity had decided to protect Chelsey for another month and would leave once she was four months pregnant.
As night fell, Fred returned home very late. Regardless of how late it was, he would check on Felicity first. Fred felt immense relief at the sight of her sitting on the couch in the second-floor lounge. He had drank a little bit that night. Hence, he was tipsy.Fred staggered toward Felicity. Suddenly, he knelt with a thud. Startled, Felicity asked, "What are you doing?""Marry me, Felly!" Fred retrieved a black velvet box from his pocket as he spoke. He then opened it. Inside was a wedding ring the owner of Queen Jewelry personally designed for Felicity. The ring featured a 15-carat diamond that was unparalleled in precision and sparkle. It could only be described as extraordinary.Complemented by an exquisite design, the beautiful ring would captivate any woman. Some time ago, Chelsey unexpectedly received Fred's order.He wanted to design a wedding ring.Chelsey accepted his order without hesitation. She even helped him choose a premium diamond.Just this
Felicity's lips curled slightly, revealing a sneer. "Your skills are mediocre. It'd be quite challenging to think about you unless I come across someone worse."Fred almost passed out from embarrassment after being mocked by the woman he liked. With a glum expression, he asked, "Are my skills that bad?"Fred wondered why the women he met before Felicity praised his skills. He contemplated if they wre simply flattering him."You're the worst I've encountered so far," Felicity said deliberately. The look of defeat on Fred's face amused her. In truth, he was Felicity's only man. So, Fred was both the best and the worst. There was nothing for her to compare.Fred's face turned red from embarrassment. After a while, he uttered, "Teach me, then. Help me improve my skills.""It'd be useless even if I teach you. Your physical condition is not up to par," answered Felicity.She added, "You need to work out to train your endurance and stamina." As Felicity spoke, she tilted her
Lucas did not even bother with superficial attempts to appease Shannon. Instead, he chose to confront her directly.Lucas waved and instructed, "Escort her out.""Yes, Mr. Yates," Bianca replied while gesturing politely.Shannon was enraged. She stomped her foot and angrily walked out.After exiting Lucas' office, Shannon turned around to glare at Bianca. Bianca smiled, wearing a triumphant expression."Take care, Ms. White."Shannon gritted her teeth in anger. "I'm warning you, don't get cocky. Luke pays attention to you only because you look a lot like Chelsey."But at the end of the day, you're not her. You can never replace her."Bianca remained unfazed as she gently responded, "I'll stay by Mr. Yates' side as long as he needs me. When he no longer does, I'll leave on my own. I won't cause any trouble for him."Bianca's gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to Shannon's overbearing attitude. Shannon was exasperated. Ever since she injured her hand, her temper had
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
