After Jagger was taken away, Oliver noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. This kind of oppressive atmosphere made him feel extremely pressured. He did not dare meddle with them, so he casually found an excuse and then left.
The hall quieted down immediately. Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down.
His long legs were folded together as he elegantly crossed them.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" He didn't even bother to look up as he played with the phone in his hand and asked.
"Ronald, can you... return Jagger to me. I can't live without him..." Elizabeth knew that this possibility wasn't high, but she still wanted to try in the end. She wanted to take a chance, maybe he would agree.
"Return to you?" Ronald stared at her beautiful face, and repeated the words she had just said word by word. A sneer crossed his face, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"It's not convenient for him to live wit
After Kyra left, Ronald's phone rang.He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he answered. A crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, "Daddy, I'm Jagger.""Jagger? Why did you call me? "What is up?" Hearing the sounds, Ronald's mood immediately became better."I want to ask you to accompany me to watch a movie with me. Do you have time tonight?""Tonight? Time can be squeezed out, but daddy doesn't really like watching movies. Is there anything else you'd like to do? Daddy can accompany you." Ronald said. He was not interested in watching movies."How can a man go out with a pretty lady if he doesn't like watching movies? Daddy, you can't not like watching movies. It's a deal. You come to the house to pick me and mommy to go to the cinema at seven o'clock tonight. Bye..." Jagger made a unilateral decision for him on the other end of the phone, then hung up the call.Listeni
Yes, it had happened, not in real life, but in her mind.When she first knew that she was pregnant, she had fantasized about Ronald marrying her and then she gave birth to a child. The family of three would live happily together.Right now, the three of them were indeed together. More accurately, counted the baby in her belly on, it was a family of four. But happiness seemed to be very far away from them.Jagger on the bed laughed happily. His small head rested on Ronald's arm as they were chatting.Noticing that Elizabeth came in, he immediately waved at her, and patted on the empty place beside him, "Mommy, come in, lie down, and sleep with Jagger."Elizabeth walked to the side of the bed and sat down. Her eyes first glanced at Ronald, but upon realizing that he was not looking at her, she let out a small sigh of relief before lying down beside Jagger.Twisting her buttocks, Jagger jumped into Elizabeth's embrace, laid on her chest and too
By the time Elizabeth had cleaned up the study, it was already 2:30 in the morning.The cut on her ankle did not bleed because it was shallow.She found the medicine box and dealt with the wound on her finger before returning to the bed in the guest room.At that night, she did not fall asleep.She thought of many things related to Ronald and her.In the end, she understood that it was impossible for her to repair the relationship with Ronald in a short period of time.Now he was angry. He was angry that she had silently taken his son away for so many years.He was angry that she did not trust him back then and thought that he would kill the baby in her belly.But was it really all her faults for causing such a situation?Who was the first to hurt the other person?Moreover, Jayden's death was just like a thorn in her heart.Judging from what Jayden had said to her last time before he died and what Tanya ha
"No, I don't want mommy to leave."Elizabeth rubbed his head with satisfaction, "Good boy! I'll come again.""Jagger, let mommy leave. Daddy will find a lot of beautiful sisters to accompany you, okay?"Without saying anything further, he nodded in excitement, "OK.""..." Elizabeth was very gloomy. This little ingrate. With beautiful sisters, he didn't even want his own mother."Jagger, don't you really want mommy anymore?""No, I want mommy.""What about beautiful sisters?""I want too.""What if you can only choose one between beautiful sister and mommy?""This..." He was in a dilemma. Wasn't this too hard to choose from?He liked beautiful sisters, and he also liked mommy.After pondering for a long time, he looked at Elizabeth with a bitter face, "Mommy, you won't leave me, right?""Of course not, mommy likes you the most." Elizabeth replied."That's good." Hearing that, Jagger felt
When Nola walked out of the master bedroom, she glanced at the guest room. Just as she was about to walk up, Monica thought that Elizabeth was still in there, so she hurriedly said, "This is the guest room. Mr. Marquez does not normally enter this room.""Is that so?" Nola did not care what kind of room this was. If the child's voice that she heard on the phone last night was Ronald's guest, he should have been living in the guest room.Without waiting for Monica to stop her, Nola immediately opened the door.The room was still neat and tidy. Nola glanced around, then walked to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door. She found that there were a few women's clothes inside."Why are there women's clothes in the house?" She turned her head to look at Monica and asked.Monica shook her head, "About this, we are also not clear either. We will never ask about the personal matters of Mr. Marquez.""Tell me honestly, does Mr. Marquez have a girlfrien
He slowly walked to the side of the sofa. When he stopped in front of her, he looked down at her from above. A trace of affection flashed across his eyes that were as deep as ink.Elizabeth then raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. With her eyes filled with tears, she could not clearly see his expression.She stood up and reached out to grab his hand, "Can you let me leave with Jagger? I beg you. This place cannot accommodate us."When Ronald heard this, the trace of affection in his heart instantly disappeared, and his face abruptly turned cold, "Leave? Where do you want to go this time?""So what if I don't go? Could the Marquez family recognize Jagger? You and I are both very clear how great the commotion would be if Jagger's identity were to be revealed." Elizabeth wiped the tears off her face and said with a choked voice."So why did you marry Jayden back then? For revenge? If you hadn't married him, would things have come to
The elevator was very quiet. Occasionally there were sounds of music coming from the direction of the banquet hall.Shirley played with her phone for a while, and looked at the time. It had been almost half an hour. Ronald said that he would not stay for long.She stood up and was about to head back to the banquet hall when she heard a series of footsteps coming from the direction of the guest room in the other side of the corridor and approaching her."Mr. Rowe, my son could return safely thanks to your help this time. If you need any help in the future, just tell me and I will try my best!" A middle-aged man's voice was heard."Mr. Dennis, you are so welcome. I came back this time because I happen to deal with some matters and did not come back specifically to send your son back. It's just a favor. Do not take it seriously." Another man replied in a low voice.When Shirley heard the second voice, she felt that it was very familiar. She unconsciou
Shirley was terrified. She reached out her hand to push the man in front of her, but there was a huge difference in their physical strength, making her unable to push him away.In a moment of desperation, she could only raise her knee and forcefully strike the man's fatal point. The man's fatal point was injured by her, so he instantly squatted down on the ground with a pained expression. He became sober."Bitch, how dare you kick me..." He raised his head, looked at Shirley's frightened face, and gritted his teeth as he cursed.Taking advantage of his pain, Shirley turned around and escaped.Noticing that, the man immediately pushed the door and called out, "Stop drinking. Hurry up and come out."A few delinquent young men in the room immediately threw down their wine glasses and ran out.The man pointed at Shirley's back and said, "Capture that bitch back to me. She dares to kick me."Upon hearing this, these hoodlums immediately ga
Alondra was brought out of the Baxter's by Elizabeth.As soon as they went downstairs, they got in the car."Ms. Hubbard, where are we going now?" The driver asked."Whatever, as long as we leave this place." After Elizabeth finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Alondra who was by her side with her head bowed."Alondra, aren't you going to tell me something?" she asked.In her heart, she was actually very angry. She did not understand why Alondra had become so weak.This was not the lively and cute girl that she knew at all.Alondra raised her head, her eyes were red and tearful, "What do you want me to say? This is my life. I have no choice.""What do you mean you have no choice? Can your parents accept what they've done to you?" Elizabeth did not believe it."So what if they don't accept? They acknowledged their son-in-law, and the child in my belly is about to give birth. Could it be that I divorce him now an
There were barely any people in the community, so the car stopped in front of an old building under Alondra's guidance.After getting out of the car, the driver took the shopping bag from the trunk. Elizabeth asked, "Alondra, which floor do you live in? We'll send you up.""No... No, thanks. I live in the fifth floor, and there are no elevators. You guys rarely climb the stairs." Alondra seemed to not want them to go up at all, and hurriedly waved her hands.But the more she was like this, the more Elizabeth was worried. She clearly remembered that Alondra's husband said on the phone that if she was unable to get home within ten minutes, he would teach her a lesson.Ten minutes had already passed. She was worried that that man would really do something that would be bad for Alondra.If she followed Alondra in, at least he would give more face to Alondra since there were guests at home, so it wouldn't make things difficult for Alondra."I'm a
"Mommy won't be going with you. Mommy made an appointment with an old friend today. Have fun with daddy." Elizabeth said."Who?" Ronald suddenly asked at this time."Huh?" Elizabeth was startled, then reacted, "Oh, it's Alondra. It's been a few years since I have contacted with her. As I'm back now, I want to meet her.""Address. I'll let the driver to send you there." Ronald said."No, thanks. I... can go by myself.""I am not for you, but for the child in your belly." Ronald explained deliberately."..." Elizabeth's face showed some embarrassment. It seemed like she was thinking too much, "It's on Glassville Avenue.""I told the driver to wait for you downstairs." After saying this, Ronald walked out.Elizabeth sent them off with her gaze. Looking at the time, it was already 8:30 AM.She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.Sure enough, the driver was waiting for her downstairs. She g
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth's face was immediately filled with embarrassment, "Jagger, you're the elder brother. You can't scare a little baby like this.""But the baby is bad. He's causing trouble." Jagger hurriedly tried to defend."Little fool, it was the same when you were in mommy's belly." Elizabeth said with amusement."Really?" Jagger shook his cute head, "Then can I go into mommy's belly again? I'm going to take care of the baby and make him be good and not make trouble.""...""Jagger, because the little baby is small, little baby is in mommy's belly. You have grown up and you are elder brother now. You can't go into mommy's belly anymore, okay?" Kiley hugged him tightly in her arms, and said.Monica then helped support Elizabeth get up from the sofa, "Ms. Hubbard, let's go to the garden to get a breath of fresh air."Elizabeth nodded. Although she was awake, her mind was still a little dizzy.When Ronald arrived, El
In the apartment.Because they knew Ronald would not come over for dinner, Elizabeth and Jagger had dinner early.Monica and Kiley brought Jagger to the garden on the top floor to look at the stars, while Elizabeth sat on the sofa to rest.In the early stages of pregnancy, her reaction was not obvious, but she was a little more lethargic than usual.She turned on the television and looked at the news. It was broadcasting news about the renovation of the old area.Elizabeth found that the residential area that had been renovated was the small apartment that her good friend Alondra had rented back then.She had even been taken in by her for a few days.In order to prevent Ronald from finding herself, she had never contacted Alondra ever since she left the country.Now that she was back, she could refuse to meet anyone else, but she had to meet her best friend.Picking up her phone, she found Alondra's previous phone number
