However, even after two continuous phone calls, Lea did not pick up.'Don't tell me she's met with another accident? Besides, if the father of the child in Lea's womb is indeed my nemesis, then that man could quite possibly get close to Lea on purpose to use her against me.'Thinking of this, she felt somewhat anxious. She still needed to go to Lea's house to check so she could rest easily.At Raworth, as Gilbert went downstairs, he saw Kohen sitting in the living room reading a magazine. He felt that he himself had woken up quite early. Unexpectedly, Kohen had woke up even earlier. He wondered whether Kohen had even slept at all throughout the night."Morning!" Seeing Gilbert come down, Kohen chuckled at him. His laughter was slightly chilly, as if still resentful of Gilbert for not accompanying him to drink."I'm not as early as you are!" Gilbert walked over and sat across from Kohen.The servants quickly served up his breakfast. Gilbert glanced at the man sitting across from h
"Does this medicine really work?"Eylul smiled lightly and shook her head, "Currently, I haven't seen it have any effect yet."" I actually have a secret formula that is very effective. Regardless of whether it's you or Mr. McCray having this issue, it'll definitely show its effects after consuming it for a month.""Really?" Eylul's eyes brightened. A happiness that could not be hidden shone on her face.Kohen's face turned just as dark as Hades, and he thought to himself, 'After getting married for so long, when have I seen this woman so happy before? She, too, wanted to quickly bear a child for the McCray family and then divorce me, right? Yet even so, why did she initially fight tooth and nail to marry into the Kohen family? Could it be that she wanted to give birth to a child of the McCray family, then, based on the child, fight to claim the assets of the McCray family?'Gilbert chatted up with Eylul very delightfully. Both of them completely did not notice how Kohen's face st
He kneeled down and picked up the paper to scan through it swiftly. After a moment, the corner of his lips twitched into a playful smile.Once Eylul came out, she saw him standing in the yard holding a newspaper while smiling weirdly. She did not walk over and instead walked to the side of the car. She also did not urge Kohen and merely waited by the car silently. However, after waiting for a moment, Kohen suddenly walked toward the inside of the house.She could not help but furrow her brow. Her mouth opened a few times, and she tried to shout for him but still could not bring herself to call for him. Even after being married for so long, she seemed to have never called him by his name once.Kohen had already walked into the house in significant strides. Eylul could only follow him inside as well.Gilbert had just finished eating his breakfast and was about to take out the contract he had discussed yesterday to review it so that he could find any improvements that needed to be don
Gilbert stood up with a swoosh. Kohen held onto his laughter and looked at him, "What are you doing?""I'm going back to Calthon!""That won't do. The affairs of our collaboration have yet to be discussed properly. Didn't we agree on staying for a few days?""I cannot stay for even a second more. I must go back to Calthon immediately!" Gilbert said and walked to the entrance in vast strides.Kohen playfully twitched his lips and said to his back, "If you go back to Calthon now, then the contract we signed yesterday will be null and void. Don't expect me to help you anymore.""Whatever!" Gilbert said without turning back his head. Then, his silhouette disappeared from the door frame.Kohen chuckled, saying, "From what I see, Kisa is about to sabotage him to death. He would still not be willing to hurt even a hair on that woman.""This shows that he truly loves Ms. Becker very much," Eylul said and suddenly chuckled quietly, "Ms. Becker actually is quite blessed."Kohen furrowed
Anthony opened the door to Lea's room. He had always had the keys to the house. When the door opened, the room was pitch black, and he could not help but frown. 'Is that woman not back yet?' he thought as displeasure filled his heart. He held a phone that was calling Lea in one hand while the other turned on the lights.[Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.]"F*ck that b*tch! She must be out with other men right now!" Anthony cursed as he flipped the switch.When the lights came on, he saw Lea huddled in the corner of the room. He was taken aback by her sudden appearance."God!" He cursed and walked toward Lea. "Are you f*cking crazy? Why didn't you turn on the lights, and why did you turn off your phone? What are you trying to do?"Lea curled up without saying a word. She looked like she was going insane. Anthony irritably grabbed her and said, "Are you mute?! I am talking to you!"Only then did Lea look up. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Anthony frowned as he utt
Lea's already pale face turned even paler. "Please, Mr. Mullen. You're so rich and powerful; I'm sure you can find any pawn or woman you want. Please let me go. I just want to go somewhere secluded and live a good life. Please...""Shut up!" Anthony growled, irritated.He pulled off his tie and threw it on the coffee table as he yelled at her coldly, "You don't get it, do you? Only I can abandon you. You want to go to a place where there is no one else and live a good life there? Fine. We'll talk about that after I get tired of you."After he finished speaking, he rushed toward her, pressed her against the sofa, and ripped her clothes off."No, Mr. Mullen. Please, don't..." Lea cried out when she realized his intentions.Anthony narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you trying to get away from me? Why are you rejecting me? Do you have another man out there?!"The man's face looked cold and scary. Lea was frightened. "N-No... It's just... M-my relatives are here.""Your relatives
"Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of food to go around. Are you that scared that you won't get any?"Kisa was startled when she heard Madalyn saying that so suddenly and slowed down.'What is up with grandma today? Why does it feel a little weird here?'"Walk slower, Ma'am. Don't fall," Andrew said as he went to help her. Blake also came over to support her. One of them was on the left while the other was on the right, like they were helping an elderly cross the road. 'What is going on here?' Kisa thought. 'Not only is grandma acting strange, but the kids are also acting weird too.'She then sat down on the chair. Madalyn served her some soup and said, "Eat up. It helps with the body." Kisa looked at the bowl of soup that was handed to her and finally took it after a long time. "Thank you, but my body is fine," she said politely."Oh, if you say it's fine, then it's fine?" Madalyn replied with a serious look on her face. "I didn't cook it for you anyway. Eat
George was quick on his hands and feet. He brought a glass of water in a matter of a few seconds. "Here you go, Mrs. Kooper."Kisa hurriedly grabbed the glass of water and felt puzzled as she drank it. 'I just choked on some food. It's not like I'm a newborn baby. Why are they so worried?' she wondered."Great-Grandma, will the baby in Ma'am's tummy be okay?""Pfft—" Kisa was so startled when she heard Ada's words that she spit out a mouthful of water. Mrs. Kooper Sr. gently patted her back anxiously and said, "What's the matter? Did you choke on the water this time?""Cough, cough, cough..." Earlier, Kisa had choked on her food, but this time round, she choked because of chock. She could not stop coughing, and her face flushed red."You're an adult, yet you can't drink water properly? Don't hurt my future great-grandchild with your cough," Madalyn voiced out in a panic.After saying that, she looked at George and said, "Quick. Call Kelvin to come and have a look at her. Quick!"
