Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were lying down on a white woolen carpet in the nursery, attempting to turn over.After several months of careful feeding, the twins were fairer and plumper with increasingly distinct facial features.They didn't seem agile when they tried to turn over clumsily as if they needed a lot of effort.They didn't manage to turn over even after attempting to do so for a while.It was a very adorable sight.Xyla Quest couldn’t look away once she set her eyes on them as they reminded her of adorable, furry, white cubs.The entire nursery smelled of a unique baby scent.Her children’s scent and their adorable antics made her feel very happy.Today, Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton had gone to look after Josh Batton’s son, leaving behind a group of nannies who remained in the house.Even so, the children were still very joyful.The nannies immediately greeted Xyla when they saw her walking through the door, and she returned their gestures before sitting betw

“Mr. Batton instructed us to prepare a nice meal for you, so we’ve already prepared lunch. Mr. Batton specifically chose all your favorite dishes. You may go down and eat now,” a nanny informed her respectfully.Xyla Quest nodded without taking her attention away from Lynette Batton and Leon Batton.At that moment, she didn’t want food but to stay with her children.They hadn’t seen each other for only a day, but she had missed them terribly, so it felt almost like a long-awaited reunion after being apart for half a century.She wanted to make up for lost time with her children.Sometimes, she wished she could lounge around at home with them.She constantly yearned for freedom and her job back when she was going through postpartum recovery.However, once she became truly free, she realized she barely had any time for her children.Out of twenty-four hours in a day, she could only spare two to three hours for them, so she began to miss the time she spent during postpartum recove

“Yes, Ms. Quest is very open-minded. Normally, other parents wouldn’t think this way.”“Yes, Leon and Lynette are so lucky to have you as their mother.”“That’s stating the obvious. Only lucky people are born into the Batton family. Isn’t that so?”“Exactly. The twins are already lucky for a start.”Xyla Quest chuckled when she heard their comments. “There's no need to exaggerate.”The rest of them laughed. “We aren’t. We are only speaking our minds.”Xyla chuckled without replying to them and began to talk to Lynette Batton and Leon Batton while repeatedly kissing and hugging them.It felt so satisfying to be able to sit with them.After staying in the nursery for a long while, she eventually went downstairs to have her lunch.As soon as she finished her meal, Xyla returned to the nursery to spend more time with her children before reluctantly leaving the house.Although she was eager to spend time at home with them, she couldn’t do that because many things needed her attent

Sebastian Brenand could no longer trust his parents.He didn’t care if his father was only pretending to be sick or if he was genuine. He wasn't interested to see him, even if it was true.His parents had put him and Rachel Wood in a hopeless situation where they made sure she was defiled and kept away from him.He was very close to never seeing her again, so how was he supposed to forgive them for what they did?Seeing them only made him feel more disgusted and further intensified his desire to murder them, so it was best not to see each other again.His parents did such terrible things to Rachel. Staying away was the best outcome for them.Rachel heard everything as she slowly took a sip of water. Her gaze landed on Sebastian as she ate a piece of beef from the stew. “You can decide however you want. I won’t get angry, so don’t worry about me,” she assured him. Hating the Brenand family was her own choice. She would never force him to hate his own family, too. She couldn

Rachel Wood soon collapsed on the ground in an exhausted heap.Her face turned red, and the veins on her neck became prominent as the urge to be sick intensified.Seeing her this way made Sebastian Brenand's heart race with worry. “What’s the matter?”Rachel shook her head. “Ugh, I don’t know. I feel like vomiting. I’m cold, and I feel weak, too.”Her voice began to tremble as she spoke, feeling weaker with every word. He felt anxious then, so he quickly gathered her into his arms. "Let’s go get you checked at the hospital. It looks like a bad case of food poisoning.”She nodded, still feeling nauseous, but she couldn't purge no matter how she tried.Ten minutes later, Sebastian brought her into the Municipal Hospital, where the Director, Stephen Harris, ran her blood test in person.Then, he carried her and followed Stephen into his office.The three of them sat in front of the coffee table while waiting for the test results.A nurse delivered the test results directly to S

Sebastian Brenand nodded before turning to look at Rachel Wood. “Honey, do you still feel sick?”She nodded, prompting him to look over to Stephen Harris. “She feels weak and chilly. Is this normal? Is there any way to make her feel better?”“There’s nothing to do. Rachel would need to get plenty of rest. These are all typical reactions at the start, but things should improve after the first three months.“Of course, I’ve seen a minority of people suffering from morning sickness throughout the pregnancy,” Stephen explained, making his heart twinge painfully when he heard this.He gently caressed Rachel’s face. “Honey, I’m sorry for what you have to go through. I’ll treat you better from now on.”“It’s not a big deal. Don’t all women have to experience this anyway?” she replied, chuckling. “How can it not be a big deal? I think it’s a huge deal,” he retorted indignantly.“Don’t exaggerate things. I’m not that fragile,” she insisted, but he didn't believe her.“You can act tough

Rachel Wood loved her baby very much.She would follow anything Stephen Harris advised to ensure her baby could be delivered safely.If he'd asked her to avoid eating something, she wouldn’t eat it.Feeling assured, he nodded and stood up to watch them leave before returning to his office with a smile. Meanwhile, Sebastian Brenand and Rachel took the elevator downstairs before leaving the hospital building.Their affectionate interactions had attracted a lot of attention.Sebastian, who was behaving like the perfect boyfriend, won the hearts of many young ladies.Rachel felt deeply embarrassed with everyone watching, but she was left with no choice as he insisted on carrying her.After getting into the car, he carefully fastened her seat belt and then turned the ignition on to begin driving very slowly throughout the journey at only thirty miles an hour.It was a far cry from how he used to drive.Moreover, he peered around cautiously to avoid knocking against anything that

Now, Rachel Wood felt very happy.Sebastian Brenand smiled and held her hand. “Silly girl, I wanted to give you all those things because I love you. From now on, I will work even harder to be a good husband and father.” She nodded instantly, knowing he would do what he said. “Also, don’t bring up things like that again. I don’t exactly have a pristine past, either. There is no reason for me to judge you. Also, even though you went through all those things, you’re always the purest in my heart.“Rachel, let’s not talk about that again, okay? Leave it all in the past,” he told her, knowing she would be sad whenever the sore subject came up.So, he hoped she could forget all of it in time, despite knowing how traumatic the experience had been for her.Rachel nodded and subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.When they returned home, Sebastian carefully carried her to the couch as if she was a fragile heirloom.Once she was seated comfortably, he sat beside her and took hi

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
