"What's the matter, baby? You don't want to follow in your mother's footsteps, right? It's fine. It's fine. You can choose yourself. Whatever you want to study, we'll support you," Sebastian immediately said.The clever Aino nodded her head. "I want to be like a mother and study architectural design.Both Sebastian and Sabrina were speechless. Both of them truly never had expected that the child would want to study architectural design.Aino firmly nodded her head again. "When I was still a very young child, I often went to the construction site with Mom. Life was very hard for her back then. She sometimes even had to wheel my uncle around. I would then be by my uncle's side. I can feel how hard it was for Mom every day. Mom even helped the villagers nearby design their house, and the house that they built was very sturdy. Later on, the reason she had such extensive experience was related to the six years she had spent working at the construction site during that period. Also, there
Sabrina, who was driving, was speechless.Aino, on the other hand, was very calm. "Mom, your mind truly works mysteriously. My grandma is seeing someone? Mom, do you know how old my grandma is this year?"Sabrina laughed hard. "I know. Your grandma is fifty-six years old this year.""My grandma is fifty-six years old. She is not sixteen, alright!" Aino rolled her eyes at Sabrina in annoyance.Sabrina also rolled her eyes at Aino in annoyance. "Please! She is not sixteen, and she is just fifty-six! Can't a fifty-six years old person be dating? Your grandma had been keeping herself in good shape for the past few years. She can dance, can sing, and her temperament is not bad. There's nothing bad for her to date a man and fight for a second chance of falling in love."Aino gave it a thought. "Mm-hmm, you're right as well. My grandma shouldn't be left single. She should have a boyfriend."After saying that, she even turned her head around to look at her father and younger brothers. "W
Gloria laughed in annoyance. "Silly girl, I am just fine. What danger can there be?""Then, where are you?" Sabrina became more anxious about what was going on."I am at Vireo's house," said Gloria."Huh?" Sabrina asked. Sabrina was unable to react in time for a moment."I heard Zayn and Hana talking about Vireo. I was thinking to myself, how could this child be so pitiful? Vireo's mother as well. I wanted to visit them. It so happened that Zayn and Hana came over to my house early this morning, so I asked Zayn to drive me here," said Gloria.Only then did Sabrina let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see. I got it already, Mom. Wait for me at Vireo's house. I'll be right over."Gloria smiled. "Alright,"After she had hung up the call, Sabrina took a deep sigh of relief. "I was scared to death.""What's wrong, Sabrina?" Madam Simpson asked. "What are you scared of?""I was scared that my mother was tricked." Sabrina smiled."I don't think it's that bad. I just think it's good to l
While saying that, Aino led Minerva into the house by her hand.Aino's grandmother, Gloria, her Uncle Zayn, and Aunt Hana, as well as her cousin, were sitting in the large living room. Isadora, Vireo, and Vireo's mother, Elsa, were also in the living room. When they saw Elsa again, she already seemed like a completely different person.Elsa was almost the same age as Gloria, and both of them had a gentle and kind disposition, so they truly felt that they had known each other a long time when they first met each other. Gloria and Elsa did not stop talking to each other even after they saw Sabrina and Sebastian had arrived. Gloria only glanced at Sabrina, and she continued, "Elsa, let me tell you something. That dance group that I'm in are all elderly people about the same age as us. If you were to dance for a few years, your body will be more flexible. I'm not lying to you. Come join me and dance with me. Maybe you'll even be able to meet a man again."Elsa blushed. "Gloria, what are
Minerva was certain that she absolutely did not know these glamorously dressed women, who were all dressed like wealthy ladies. In the eyes of Minerva, this group of ladies was actually very unfashionable. They were extremely unfashionable. The women, however, were sizing up Minerva with an arrogant expression.The oldest among them, Chloe, questioned Minerva while looking askance at her. "You ugly bitch! Who are you?The second sister, Ashnah, sneered. "Ha! There's no need to even think about it. She must be the woman who seduced our brother. Woman, you're not that old, but you're quite bold. You actually are able to live in our brother's house. However, you're truly too ugly. You're so ugly that you make me sick! Sick, did you hear me? Hurry up and fuck off!"The third sister, Abigail, immediately grabbed Minerva as if she was carrying a little chick and said with immense disgust, "Where did this while chick come from? Hurry up and fuck off!"While saying that, she was already go
She simply wanted to drive these three damned women out."There's no such person as your brother here. If you don't leave now, I will not show you any mercy anymore!""Ha!" Chloe instantly sneered. "This is my brother's house! We have already inquired about it at the hospital! You can try to drive us out and see!""Vireo, Vireo, come out! We're your sisters. You can't hide from us and not see us for a few years. Mom and Dad are getting older and older. You can't run away from this responsibility, Vi—" Before Abigail finished her word, Isadora already lifted her foot, and she kicked Abigail right on her stomach."Ouch…" Abigail immediately fell to the ground after being kicked, and she curled up in pain."You, woman, who are you? Why are you beating people up? Who are you to my brother? Are you his nanny? You've beaten me up, so I'll call the police now!""Oh, she had beaten people up. She is going to kill. Vireo, my brother, why are you still not out…" Once again, before Ashnah f
"Who are you? Who would we know who are you? Aren't you my brother's colleague? You're already so old. You're certainly a useless person, so you're here to flatter my brother!" Chloe looked at Elsa disdainfully."Where are your parents? Did they not come?" Elsa asked with a cold expression."Does whether our parents come or not have anything to do with you?" Chloe said."Have nothing to do with me?" Elsa sneered miserably. "When I was looking for my child back then, I had once met your parents. I asked them if they had seen my child. In the end, your parents told me that the person who bought my child had taken the train heading toward the south. I listened to them, and I went south on a train. I had searched through the entire southern area, and I still couldn't find my son. A few days ago, my son showed me a picture of our parents. They were already older, but their appearance did not change much. I recognized them at a glance. It turned out that they were the couple back then who
"It's just that they are too insatiably greedy," Sebastian said emotionally.There were too many insatiably greedy people in this world. To have a son that could continue the family line, the Payne family did not hesitate to snatch away forty years of someone else's happiness, which led to Elsa becoming a nun while thinking of her son all the time.Vireo nodded, then smiled and said miserably, "That's right. I wanted to do my part in taking care of them, but they just can't let me go. Maybe that's just my life. Forget it. Just let them be. It's fine if I just turn a deaf ear. What mattered to me the most is my knowledge in medicine, my wife, and also my mom."After saying that, Vireo looked at Minerva again. "There's Minerva as well."He had only known Minerva for a few days, but the child had been addressing him as her uncle and Isadora as her aunt every day. After she had met Vireo's mother, she also addressed her as her grandmother. It was as if she was the Payne family's little
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
