Fantine's flight would arrive in one more hour, so Nicole was strapped for time. When Clarissa reached the ward, Nicole hurried to leave.

"My mom is arriving soon, so I have to rush to the airport. Please take care of Norman," Nicole said. She glanced at Clarissa and left hastily.

Before Clarissa could reply, Nicole had disappeared from her sight.

"She just left like that. How rude!" Clarissa complained. She was already dissatisfied with Nicole in the first place. Thus, she felt inexplicably irritated right now.

She couldn't understand why her son—who had good looks, a good family background, and was a popular celebrity—had fallen for that jinx. Nicole was several years older than Norman. On top of that, she had landed him in this state.

After Nicole left, Clarissa felt deeply resentful. She complained about Nicole in her heart relentlessly. She wouldn't want to see her at all if not for the fact that she was carrying Norman's child.

Clarissa sat by Norman's bed and checked the h

    "Mom, I'm fine," Nicole said, feeling a bit awkward. She kept signaling to Fantine with her eyes, urging her not to say anything more.But Fantine was upset and pretended not to notice her signals. She continued, "Look at you. You've become so thin. When did you ever look so worn out back at home? Maybe you should come back with me for a few days to rest and recover."Of course, Clarissa understood what Fantine was implying. Thus, her expression soured.Fantine extended her hand and gestured for Nicole to come closer. "Nicole, I brought your favorite fruit confit. I just made it a few days ago. "You need to take good care of yourself when your dad and I aren't around, especially because you're not alone anymore. "Taking care of a patient is so exhausting. You're a pregnant woman, for heaven's sake. You're someone who should be taken care of instead of being the caregiver. Don't act tough now."Fantine was implying that Nicole shouldn't undermine herself and resign herself to

    "Cece, I've heard about the whole matter concerning Angelica." Otto sat down on the couch and stroked his white beard. "Fortunately, you had seen through her. Otherwise, Yardley would still be deceived by her. He's too sentimental. He still remembers what Candy did for him.""Grandpa, where are you going with this?" The corner of Yardley's mouth twitched.Why did Otto have to bring this up?After a pause, Yardley said, "Actually, I had known that Angelica was a fake from the beginning. Otherwise, why would I have put on that act with Celia? Right, Celia?"Celia rolled her eyes at Yardley. "Oh, please!""Now that Angelica is dealt with, when do you plan to get married? I can't wait to have a great-grandchild," Otto remarked with a delightful grin."We plan to get engaged next month," Celia answered, sitting down beside Otto."Grandpa, please pick a good day for us," Yardley added, sitting close next to Celia.He had been waiting to marry Celia for a long time.Otto beamed wid

    Yardley hadn't expected Celia to wake up. When he saw her turn back to look at him, he hesitated for a moment but quickly came to his senses.After all, Celia was his future wife. Why should he feel guilty about it?With this thought, Yardley became more relaxed. He lifted a corner of the blanket and slid in. He embraced Celia and allowed her to rest her head on his arm."I haven't had a conversation while being so close to you in a long time. I just want to hold you, Celia.""Hmm?" Celia raised her head slightly, feeling puzzled. She looked at Yardley, waiting for him to continue."What's the matter with you?" Celia asked."Nothing." Yardley gazed at Celia, his eyes filled with tenderness as he held her a little tighter. "I was just thinking that this time, we must have a grand engagement ceremony so that I can give you everything I owe you and what should have rightfully been yours."At the end of the day, Celia was a woman. Of course, she loved hearing such romantic words,

    "Really?" What Yardley said appealed to Celia because she genuinely liked this villa. Upon seeing the look in his eyes, she walked over and opened her arms to embrace him. "Thank you for always considering what I like."She said those words very softly, but Yardley could tell she was very touched and grateful.He reciprocated her embrace naturally and rested his chin on the top of her head. "You know it. I'll fulfill your request as long as it's something that you like."Suddenly, Yardley recalled something. He let go of Celia and said with a smile, "By the way, do you remember the amusement park we visited before? "It's still here, and it's even expanded. Would you like to go again?"Celia spaced out for a moment. But then something clicked in her mind, and her expression of surprise further intensified. "Oh, I remember! Is that amusement park still around? Let's hurry and go!"Yardley and Celia left the villa and headed toward the amusement park. By then, it was already twil

    Celia had called Joaquin over to treat Henry not long ago. But now she had asked for his help again for Norman's sake.Nicole felt bad for troubling him so much.Lowering her head, she smiled wryly. Just then, there were two knocks on the door, and Fantine's voice came from the door. "Nicole, are you awake? Come out and have breakfast."Fantine had decided to stay at Lorimer Residence for a while to take care of Nicole. She was worried that her daughter would be bullied there.Nicole responded and walked out the door. The atmosphere at the dining table was awkward. Clarissa gave Nicole the cold shoulder, but Nicholas would occasionally talk to Nicole. "Help yourself, Nicole. You're eating for two now. Don't hold back."Nicole smiled as she nodded and took another bite of her food. She set her spoon down after finishing the oatmeal in the bowl.She had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently and had also been sleeping poorly, most likely because of Norman. Hence,

    "Forget it. You ought to take some nutritional supplements now that you're pregnant." Even though Clarissa was still cold toward Nicole, her tone softened a little. She just glanced at Nicole's slightly bulging belly before calling for the housekeeper, "Lorelei!"The middle-aged woman hastily walked over when she heard Clarissa's call. Lorelei asked with a smile, "What's the matter, madam?"Clarissa reluctantly said, "Go buy a chicken and make your signature chicken soup for her. She needs to eat properly since she's carrying Norman's child now."Lorelei was aware of the tension between Nicole and Clarissa. Though she felt bad for Nicole at times, it wasn't her place to say anything because she was an outsider. Her gaze lingered on Nicole for a brief moment before darting away when she heard Clarissa's words. She nodded and started to take off her apron to head out to get groceries.Clarissa sighed and took a moment to assess Nicole, her gaze resting on the latter's belly. "I'l

    "You're familiar with her, and you can help me …" Susanna repeated Regina's words softly as she narrowed her eyes. For some reason, she had a strange feeling about this."But I don't know you. What do you want?""I'm aware that you don't know me, but that doesn't matter." Regina studied Susanna's face. She had already anticipated this reaction. She had to admit that Susanna was quite intelligent."Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Regina Wright, and I'm the heiress of the Wright family in Ashvale. You've probably come across my name if you've read a lot of articles and magazines in the past."As for Leo, who's in your crosshairs, her identity is also fairly well known. She's recently taken Ashvale by storm—Celia Stanton. I'm sure you've heard of her."Regina's words struck a nerve, and Susanna's expression instantly turned sour.It was no secret that Susanna was jealous of Leo. But people knowing about it and having them bring it up in front of her was completely different.

    Regina nodded. "Yes, I want her dead. Help me, and I'll give you whatever you want."Susanna was aware that Regina's idea was insane; it would cost her her life if she wasn't careful. Nonetheless, she nodded with a gleam of joy in her eyes. It was evident that she found Regina to be an intriguing partner in crime."Pleasure working with you, Ms. Wright.""Pleasure working with you, Ms. Susanna."The women shook hands with smiles on their faces, but beneath their beautiful exteriors lay devious schemes.Susanna had no intention of getting involved in Regina's affairs. She was far smarter than Angelica and the others. Even if Regina wanted Leo dead—Susanna was more used to addressing Celia as "Leo"—the latter couldn't afford to lose everything she had as a designer. Susanna was sure that anyone else in her shoes would feel the same way. Regina's gaze wandered for a second before refocusing on Susanna. The handshake lasted only a few seconds, as it was just a mere formality.

    In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?" Morgan asked. The housekeepers promptly briefed

They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

    "It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

    After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either.
