Hugging her son tightly, Louise glared at Hank woefully. “I’ve lived my whole life honestly. The only thing that I’ve done wrong was falling for you, a married man!”“…”Hank glared at her and said, “But the paternity test says that he’s not my son!”Louise quickly put her hands on her son’s ears, fearing that he would feel hurt from his heartless father’s hurtful words. She was the one who seduced a married man. This was her sin, so it should be carried by her and her only! Her boy did not deserve to be chastened and disgraced by this horrible man!With tears rolling down her face, Louise yelled back, her heart aching, “I am innocent! He is your son! He is!”Hank furiously flipped a table nearby and yelled, “You still intend to keep up with this lie?! I’m warning you! You better return everything I gave you today, or else!”Louise stared at Hank, devastated, and said, “I see… This is an act… If you wanted me to return the money you gave me… you could have just asked!”She was s
He stared at the car that knocked Louise down for a moment before a moment of clarity hit him. He finally realized what was actually going on.“It’s your own fault!” Esme locked her eyes with her father’s and yelled, “This is all your own fault! You have no one to blame but yourself!”Staring at his daughter’s hateful scowl, Hank replied, “But Louise and the boy are innocent…”“No! You’re all guilty! She robbed my mom’s husband from her. As for that boy…” Esme turned and glared at the little boy that was so shocked that he could only look on silently.“No!” Hank hurried over to pull his son into his embrace.Louise did her darndest to sit up and said to Esme as blood bled from her mouth, “Please… let my son go… If you want to punish someone… you can do it to me… Please… kill me… not my baby boy…”Esme was so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that her tears streamed down her face.“Why? Why is my life so unfair?! Why can’t my parents ever truly love me?!”Hank put a hand over
According to the news report, Hank had hit his mistress with a sports car. When the ambulance arrived on scene, they saw him choking his son.After the ambulance crew pulled the boy out of his grasp, Hank immediately passed out. So, the crew brought Hank, his mistress, and the boy to the hospital for treatment. Hank woke up when the police arrived at the hospital. According to them, Hank was laying on the bed, staring into space. When the police and press questioned him, he immediately confessed to committing the crime.In just one evening, everyone was talking about this on the internet. There were arguments that defended him, saying that Hank was probably not in his right mind because he had gone through bankruptcy. Indeed, he turned his back on his marriage and had a child with his mistress, but the mistress now had taken the last piece of his wealth. When he misunderstood that his son was not his, he lost control of his temper, tried to run over his mistress, and tried to murder
Fia and Louise’s son reached the entrance to the ward. Conrad spoke with the police, and they let Fia in.When Fia saw the little boy whose hand was held by the nurse, she instinctively extended her hand. “Can I take your hand?”The boy took a step back warily.The nurse then awkwardly explained, “The boy was still in shock and he doesn’t want anyone. It took us a long while too. But he’s only willing to stay with us because he probably knows that we’re hospital staff and won’t hurt him and his mother.”Fia quickly nodded. “He’s still too little. For him to go through something like this… It makes my heart ache.”The nurse also nodded in response. “That’s right. No matter how bad the adults’ relationships are, they shouldn’t drag children into this.”After they obtained the policeman’s agreement, Fia went in with the nurse and the boy. Meanwhile, Conrad and the policeman stayed outside the room.“My baby!” When Louise saw her son come in, she struggled to get up, but all she did
Fia looked at Louise. She couldn’t say anything cruel in front of the boy.All she could do was leave her contact information behind. “If there’s anything you need, you can always call me. I’ll help you the best I can.”Louise frowned and said nothing.Fia worried that she wouldn’t remember her details. So, she took out a notebook from her purse, wrote her name on a piece of paper before pulling it out, and then put it into the jacket’s pocket that the boy was wearing.“It has my Facebook account’s details on it too. You can add me there.”Louise had just wanted to refuse when the boy said, “Mama, take it!”Louise was stunned. “Take what?”The boy turned to look at Fia.Louise instantly knew what he meant by that. She then turned to Fia and said, “My phone is in the drawer.”Fia nodded and took out her phone, adding her number and Facebook details.“Have a rest. If there’s anything, you have my number.”Louise hesitated before nodding and said, “I’m very tired today, so plea
The policeman said to Hank coldly, “Don’t do anything rash, you hear me? I’ll be right outside. If you hurt the victim again, it’s going to make things worse for you!”Hank nodded and sat down on a chair that was somewhat far from the bed.Louise looked at him and remembered how they had lived together for the past few years.In truth, she was quite happy with him. But what happened hurt her too much.“What do you want to talk to me about?” Hank couldn’t face Louise and said with his head hung low, “I told you about how Esme had changed her identity by changing her physical appearance.”“Yes,” Louise said coldly. “I didn’t tell anyone else.”Hank quickly held his head up high and said, “I know that you hate me right now, but she’s my only daughter! I don’t want anything else to happen to her!”Louise gritted her teeth. “So, you take the blame for the crime she committed.”“I have no choice. I owe her that. I didn’t protect her last time because of Chuck. So, this time…”“The
Louise was numb. “You weren’t there at the time. You don’t even know if his daughter was really there. Why would you think that?”“She did the same thing to me last time. You will lose control and attack the person right in front of you. Once you remember it, it will feel like it’s all just a dream. It’s also possible that you won’t remember it at all and are not sure if you did anything.” Fia was able to explain to Louise clearly thanks to her listening to Tiger’s analysis before this.When Louise remembered what Hank had said, she also started to suspect that he had fallen into Esme’s trap.“Since my uncle chose to take the blame for her, he probably won’t suspect her,” Fia said slowly. “So the best thing you can do right now is find an excuse to have my uncle do a blood test. Don’t get someone from the hospital.”“Who should I ask then?”“You can ask Director Parker. He has men who work on this.” Fia didn’t tell her directly that she could also provide her with the personnel sh
The text read……River Fane Bridge.Conrad saw someone standing on the bridge through the light from his car’s headlights.That slim figure was completely dressed in black which masked her well in the night. He got down from the car and said, “Ms. Thomas, the reason you…”Before he could even finish, the person turned around and he frowned.“Conrad.” Esme removed her hat and then gave Conrad a gentle smile using Britney’s face.Conrad looked around subconsciously.Esme said, “You can stop searching. The person that asked you out is Britney, but the person that came is me.”Conrad looked at her, infuriated. “What did you do to her?”“You were not like that in the past!” Esme said disappointingly. “You’re not worried about me… Why would you be worried about a stranger?”Conrad had just wanted to turn and leave when an empowering scent
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
