Norman saw a chance and said, "Nicole, since nobody's home, why not stay at my place for a bit?"

Worried she might say no, he kept explaining how risky it was to live alone, especially being pregnant and just out of the hospital.

Nicole reluctantly gave in after nearly ten minutes of his persuasion.

"Fine, I'll stay at your place until my parents get back." She headed downstairs with a blank expression.

At noon, Norman drove her back to his place.

Clarissa was away at the hospital visiting her future daughter-in-law, making the atmosphere at the house less tense.

Norman led Nicole to the bedroom, and he finally felt relieved.

"Now that you're here, we can help in taking care of you during your pregnancy," Norman said, hoping to persuade her to stay.

"You're overthinking. I'll stay for a maximum of three days," Nicole replied coolly.

The journalist pulled out Ashley's phone and recording device from her bag.He squinted at the recording device for a moment, then abruptly chucked it to the ground."What's your problem?" Ashley grumbled."Little miss celebrity, you're using a fake recording device, huh?" the journalist jeered.Ashley was puzzled. She'd picked up that recording device from a nearby store, thinking it was legit. She might have been tricked.Not only was the recording device toast but all the recordings and videos on her phone had been deleted, too.This trip was a total bust, and her cover was blown.

    The chief of police dashed to the scene as soon as he got wind of the news. He spotted Yardley and quickly reached out for a handshake. "Mr. Hughes, what brings you here?"The nearby officers wore expressions of confusion as they observed the interaction."Chief Goggins, your officers said there were drugs in my car, so here we are."

Jules asked."Why bother asking if you've already figured it out? You were pretty cold-hearted before," Yardley said nonchalantly."Honestly, I kept my distance from her because I thought someone was trying to cause problems for me. I didn't want to involve her in the drama. I've realized now how much she means to me, and I regret pushing her away." Jules sighed.He lowered his head as he scrolled through an album of photos featuring him and Ashley.When Celia finally made her way downstairs, Yardley took off with her.While a few suspicions lingered regarding Ashley and Jules' relationship, it became evident that only a minority

"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..."

    "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.

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?"

    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.

    "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?"

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?"
