Alex was delighted. Perhaps because he had been in the dominant position the night before, and he had not been able to sleep for two consecutive nights, Alex slept very soundly that night.When he woke up the next day, he realized that his woman was no longer in bed. Where did she go? It was inconvenient for her to move about. With her big pregnant belly, even getting downstairs was inconvenient for her.Alex got out of bed in one fell swoop, and then he came out after he simply grabbed a robe and wrapped himself up. When he arrived at the stairs, he heard voices from downstairs.“That’ll do, Madam Quinn. Just add a little water, so it’s not too thick and not too watery. The main thing was to get up early and prepare the ingredients,” said Jane gently.The maid, Madam Quinn, then asked, “Madam, does it mean that you always had to get up very early in the morning in the past?”Jane nodded calmly. “Mm-hmm. I used to get up at four o’clock in the morning to prepare to make porridge.
Sebastian had an arm wrapped around Sabrina, and Sabrina greeted Jane with a big smile. “Hello, Jane and Mister Poole, what a coincidence that we’re here for our checkups at the same time?”Jane also smiled broadly. “I had just finished mine. Look at Alex, he kept nagging. I have been with him for eight years, and I don’t know since when did he become such a nag. Alex, you should learn from your best friend, Mister Ford.”The pregnant woman, who was envious of Jane just now, stood in the middle and was speechless. Was she going to win the lottery today?There was a sweet and attractive pregnant couple standing opposite of her. In the end, when she turned around, only then did she realize that there was also another even sweeter and even more attractive pregnant couple standing behind her. On top of that, these two couples knew each other.The pregnant woman stared at Jane and Alex, and then she turned her head around to look at Sabrina and Sebastian. She only regained her senses af
“Do you know why I’m so weak and pale?” asked Jane.Sabrina was puzzled. “What’s the matter, Jane?”Jane pointed at her belly. “I’m only six months pregnant now, but this little is already larger than average. Although I didn’t have a good nutritional intake, this little thing in my belly is very good at self-regulation. He had sucked all of my nutrition away. This little guy! He is very strong.”Sabrina smiled. “See, Jane, life is just like that. Any form of life in this world is actually very strong and can’t be easily destroyed. It’s the same for the baby in your belly. Look how positive his desire to live is.”“That’s right,” Jane said with a smile of relief.Sabrina looked at Jane’s pale face. “Jane, you should have something nutritious. You’re too thin and weak. It would be hard for you to deliver the child when the time comes. After I’m done with my checkup, I’ll take you to my mother’s place, and I’ll ask me to cook something nice for you.“Jane, you still haven’t met my
Gloria was stunned when she saw Jane. Immediately after that, she came up to Jane and held her hands. “Look at how fated we are. I never expected that you, my benefactor, would be friends with my daughter.”Jane’s tears kept streaming down her face. “Ma’am, so you’re actually Sabrina’s mother? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”Gloria laughed. “Silly child, I didn’t know you were good friends with Sabrina back then, right? Maybe you didn't know Sabrina too then.”“Mom, you and Jane…what’s going on?” Sabrina was stunned.Gloria smiled. “When I had just escaped from Lincoln’s, I fled to the foot of a mountain and fainted from starvation. It was Jane who saved me.”Sabrina instantly became excited. “Thank you, Jane.”Jane said apologetically, “I had originally wanted to keep your mom to be a maid. I had asked her for a long time where her home was and did she have any family left in her hometown. I wanted to take her to get a personal health certificate. In the end, your mom left by h
“All of the people I’ve mentioned are people around you, my child. We’re all hanging in there, so you see, everything is a lot better now. Zayn can walk normally again. I have found my daughter. Although my father and I are not on very good terms now, I no longer resent him that much anymore. Everything will be better, my child.”Jane nodded. “Missus Scott, I understand. I know. I will be strong and optimistic. I will protect the child in my belly and will fight for my marriage. I will fight for everything within my rights.”Jane then turned around and glanced at Alex. “If he dared to bully me in the future, I will not let him off so easily. I will take all of his properties as my own. If he dares to wrong me, then I’ll make him leave the marriage without getting any of the properties! Alex Poole, you listen up! I have many people backing me up now! I have Missus Hill, Missus Scott, Sabrina, Ruth, and Yvonne to back me up!”“Me, me, me! There’s also me! You also have my uncle, as we
Sabrina frowned. “You are?”The voice on the phone was indeed too shrill. It was both shrilling and hoarse. Sabrina could not even tell if that was a male or female voice.“Hahaha.” That voice laughed extremely eerily like the devil. “You don’t remember me, do you? I am your dream, your nightmare! Maybe I will creep into your dream tonight and torture you to death!”Sabrina rolled her eyes. “Lily Parker! You’re crazy! Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”It was indeed Lily on the other end of the line. “You’re the crazy one, you d*mned thing! B*tch! If you didn’t bring a few women with you to my fiancé’s house and beat me up into a pulp, I wouldn’t have ended up like this today! If you didn’t back Jane up, she probably would have died a long time ago! Sabrina Scott! I will certainly creep into your dream and viciously torture you!”Sabrina scoffed. “You’re wrong, Lily! Between you and Jane, regardless if there are our external interference or not, you are destined to lose. Pe
“Lily Parker!” answered Sabrina.There was a pause before she elaborated, “It’s that woman who tried snatch the man with Jane. She is so stupid, but she blames others!”“That woman is stupid enough. She is never going to be able to snatch away Jane’s man anymore in this life. Sabrina, since Jane has already returned, you should not worry about that anymore. The most important thing now is to worry about your brother. He is already in his early thirties, it’s time to find a woman and settle down.”Sabrina nodded. “I know, Mom. Mom, you care about my brother more than me now.”Her mother laughed. “That’s true. He is such a poor boy. He also cares about me. He is like my own son. I feel like I have an additional child. A son and a daughter. Therefore, Sabrina, you must find someone your brother likes and quickly let them get married and have children. This way, I will then have a few more grandchildren.”“Roger that! My dear mother!” said Sabrina as she acted cutely. That was a task
“That’s right!” Sabrina said.Sebastian was left dumbfounded for a long while. He had never expected that he, the director of the Ford group and the King of South City, would actually be reduced to being a matchmaker for someone?Sebastian looked at Kingston, who then nodded solemnly, indicating that madam indeed meant just that. Sebastian then looked at his daughter. His daughter very delightfully said to Sebastian, “Dad, I truly like you being a matchmaker very much. You know that my uncle is already over thirty years old, but he still has no girlfriend. In the past, mom and I were there to accompany him. Now, he is all by himself. How lonely he must be.”Sebastian was speechless. After a long while, he said with a very strong sense of jealousy, “Your uncle has functioning legs now!”Aino was speechless. What did her uncle having functioning legs got to do with him not having a girlfriend?Sebastian had no choice but to explain again. “He can walk now. He can go out and get hims
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
