Sabrina, who was on the other end of the line, was resting for her pregnancy at home. She had been two months pregnant by then. The need to take care of Zayn and Aino throughout the years she had been on a run had caused Sabrina to work any job that came her way, to the point where she would not turn down the most exhausting and difficult work that the men at the construction site refused to take. During the time when she had just given birth to Aino, she worked in the mud to fix the roads in heavy rain. She did not sleep for a day and a night, and for that, she earned an overtime salary of two thousand dollars. The money was enough to buy medicine for Zayn and a month's worth of baby formula for Aino.Sabrina was extremely happy at the time. When she arrived home, Zayn was so worried for her that his eyes were reddened from the urge to cry."Sabbie! Keep this up and you will never be able to give birth to another child again!" he scolded her furiously.Sabrina did not care. "That's
Garrett was speaking rather quickly with only a few words to conclude the situation. "Mrs. Ford, I don't have much time to explain, all I can say is that Ms. Sheen isn't doing so well. Master Alex is trying to take her back. She can't keep straying out there any longer, but Ms. Sheen isn't willing to follow Master Alex home, mainly because of how hurt she was from his actions. Mrs. Ford, could you please help to speak to Ms. Sheen? Tell her that this is all for her own good. She is already five months pregnant…"He blurted it all out within a minute, but Sabrina managed to catch it all because she was such a skilled person."Okay. I understand. I'll call them right now," she said without hesitation. After hanging up, she did not waste another instant to call Alex immediately.For the past three to four months, Alex had kept searching for Jane. Sabrina could sense his feelings and guilt. There was a time when Sabrina wanted to explain it to Jane, but then she thought about the fact t
Alex was visibly relieved. "Of course not, Jane."Just like a twenty-year-old young man who had just gotten his first crush, he was so happy that he showed her a big grin, showing his yellow teeth. He had not brushed his teeth for days. He looked a bit gross and smelled. "Jane, come home with me. Look at you, you are five-months pregnant now and your belly is only going to grow bigger. Come home with me and be my queen. I will take care of you from now on." Alex looked at Jane in an expression as though he was trying to impress her. He did not even bother to ask whether Huron and Lenny had done anything to her. It did not matter. Even if Jane had been tainted by those men, it did not matter. He did not ask because he did not want her to get hurt again. He simply wrapped his arms around Jane and studied her swollen belly. He felt extremely happy. He was going to have a child. From then on, he was going to become a father, just like Sebastian. Would his child be a little girl as witty
"Would you be willing to accept that?""..."Jane grinned. "There isn't such a thing as forgiving or not forgiving. Since we have broken up, all ties should be cut. If you are a demon that I can't shake, naturally, I can only go with you and let you do whatever you want to me. But now that you've mentioned that you never hurt normal people, and that you've been looking for me, then what I can say to you, Alex, is that we are done. We will never be together again. I'm tired. I'm so tired. I'm thirty-five this year, not twenty. I can't go through the storm again in my life. As long as I'm alive to give birth to my child, to take good care of my mother… That's what would make me feel most grounded. I never belonged to your world to begin with. Your family, everyone around you, and most importantly, yourself, none of you have ever thought of me as a suitable match. I see it clearly now; my life belongs in the mud. You are Master Alex of Kidon City, the one and only of the entire city. We
There was someone who would take her in? Who? Just as Alex was about to go and ask about it, his phone rang. He took it out and found that it was from Sebastian. He looked up to the stumbling pregnant woman and the elder, and thought, ‘Their pace is slow anyways. Besides, if I follow too closely, Jane will get even more upset.’Alex motioned for his subordinate to come forward and said, "Go and see which direction they are heading toward. Don't follow too closely or alert them.""Yes, Master Alex," the subordinate responded immediately.Alex finally picked up the phone after that. "What's up, Sebastian?"Sebastian's worried voice came through from the other side of the line. "Alex, Jane and you…"Hearing the voice of his blood brother, Alex suddenly sighed with boundless regret and despair."What's wrong, Alex?" Sebastian asked with concern. He then proceeded to explain apologetically, "Sabrina and Aino both wanted to eat crab ravioli from the old streets of South City; they ma
"I feel the same as she does right now, and no longer expect anything from the child in her belly. Even if she doesn't have any child in the future, we can be Aino's godparents. Right now, I'm just worried about her. Her body can't take the suffering any longer.""Who said anything about becoming your goddaughter?? I don't want you! Hmph!" Suddenly, the voice on the other side of the line had switched to Aino's willful and proud voice."Baby Aino?""Who are you calling ‘Baby’?? Hmph! I hate you!" Aino started crying as she attacked Alex, "Aunt Jane is the best auntie I've ever had! She is so great and you just tossed her out! You might have made only one mistake, but Aunt Jane didn't have any money and almost got herself beaten to death by Lily! All of these happened because of you! Aunt Jane better not come back with you, ever!! I. Hate. You! Hmph!""I'm sorry, baby."Aino softened slightly. "Let me tell you! I only want Aunt Jane as my godmother! Not you! I hate you!""..."Be
Lenny! The old man who had been to the doors of Huron's place and shouted at Alex four hours ago. That man was almost seventy and claimed that Jane was his woman, and now Jane was really going to take refuge in Lenny's place? At that moment, Alex felt as though all his internal organs had been pitifully torn to pieces. He opened the car door in a dazed state and went out."Master!" Garrett shouted behind him. Ever since Alex had started looking for Jane, he did not stop acting frantic. He became repulsive, irritable and would sometimes be seen with his eyes red. Three hours ago, Jane had told Alex that she would not go back with him decisively, and if he was to go after her right now, he was only going to make Jane resent him more. Garrett could only hope that his master would not get kicked out by Mrs. Poole. He watched Alex anxiously but to his surprise, Alex said, "I just want to hear what they will say. We are too far from them right now, so we won't hear them."With that said, A
Unfortunately, a woman that great would never go back into Alex's arms. Just as he reflected on it, the mansion's gate opened and the old man who stepped out was none other than Lenny.Seeing that Jane was supporting an elder and standing outside his door, Lenny was shocked. "You… Didn't you… Master… Master Alex…"Jane forced a smile. "Master Powell, you…" She swallowed to calm herself before continuing, "I knew from the first day you took me back, that you… You are a good person. You were kind to me, and did not torture me like Huron did. I… I might be pregnant, but I can still be your companion between the sheets. I don't need a title or your money. As long as you agree to take me and my mom in and keep us fed, I don't even need to eat that well, so long that there's food every day… Is that okay, Master Powell?" Jane looked at Lenny in anticipation.Lenny did not respond for a while. He then sighed and said, "Sigh, little pregnant lady, don't you know that I've just barely escaped
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
