Valeria glanced at William and she knew how he must have felt throughout these years. "She would have loved to spend more time with you and watch you eventually grow up and have your own family. However, she had no choice." "Yes, you're right." He reached out and took out all the photos and continued, "I used to hate her but my feelings have now changed." He glanced through the photos of Matilda and said, "I finally understand why my grandparents hate my father so much. If... If my daughter was taken away by a widow and eventually passed away because of him, I would definitely go bonkers! I would not have allowed such a thing to happen no matter how good the man is." It was said that parents would always be protective of their children. Valeria knew that different opinions arose due to different viewpoints, and Hayden would forever be the guilty one in the eyes of Fandrey and Deborah. The couple flipped through the photos and realized there was a final pho
They went to a cafe nearby, and Natasya took off her mask and sunglasses when she entered the room. She smiled as she looked at Azalea, "How have you been lately?" "Not too good!" Azalea sighed and took off her disguise as well. "Didn't you hear that I was blacklisted?" "I don't have time to update myself with your news!" Natasya said arrogantly, implying that Azalea was not worthy of her attention. Azalea did not show the unhappiness she felt, but Natasya provoked her even further. She sneered and said, "Azalea, you are so stupid. I have already helped you so much, but you still haven't succeeded. Are you retarded?" Naturally, she was unhappy to hear this, "Miss Anderson, did you meet me today just to scold me?" "Of course not! I'm also here to help you! You want to get together with Michael, right?" Since Natasya knew her thought process very clearly, she did not hide anything, "Yes! He's my dream man!" "Okay, you'll get him if you follow my
Hearing Michael's name, Abbie pulled away from the kiss to hold her head in pain and rolled around on the sofa. "Abbie!" Michael immediately tried to comfort her, but she was in too much pain and overturned the fruit plates and alcohol on the table onto the floor. "Abbie!" He held her in his arms to comfort her, while calling out, "Help! Somebody help, please!" "Mr. Davis!" A security guard pushed the door open when he heard his voice and was shocked to see the state they were in, "What's wrong with Miss Clark? Let's send her to the hospital immediately!" Michael's eyes were full of rage, "I can send her to the hospital myself. Immediately find the person who was screaming my name at the top of his lungs in the corridor just now!" "Yes!" He rushed out hurriedly to look for the said person while Abbie continued to scream in pain. Michael could care less about everything else and immediately got up to send her to the hospital. When they reached the e
William's expression changed instantly. He had experienced the same excruciating pain, so he could only imagine how much pain Abbie was in, especially as a woman. "Why and when did this happen?" "Just now! I met her in a private room, and someone shouted my name in the corridor on purpose!" "Did you catch the person?" William asked. "Yes, and he said some woman bribed him to do so!" Upon hearing his words, William blurted out, "So Natasya is behind this?" "Natasya? But Abbie didn't provoke her." He analyzed, "Abbie and Valeria messed with her today, so she probably realized that it was them and triggered Abbie on purpose." "She's such a vicious woman. I'm going to f*cking kill her!" Michael gritted his teeth. "Where is Abbie now? Is she at the hospital?" William asked. "Richard sent her to the hospital! I was going to do it, but he happened to be there." Michael told him about it while recalling what had happened. "Ric
With Braelynn's help, Richard did not say anything more, and Michael also sighed in relief with William. Then, they changed the topic and talked about Abbie, "What did the doctor say?" "She's been in pain, so the doctor gave her some sedatives." Richard walked over to her and tucked her in the bed. After confirming that Abbie's situation had nothing to do with Michael, Richard's gaze interchanged between the both of them. "I was too impulsive just now, so I'll apologize! I'm sorry!" "It's alright! We don't need to apologize between us!" Michael said guiltily. However, Richard did not give up after apologizing, "Michael, we've always been brothers, so I have no negative opinions about you. But I beg you to distance yourself from Abbie, please. Please hurry up and marry Azalea for Abbie's sake." "Um..." Michael's expression changed and William interrupted with a frown, "Richard, you shouldn't put it that way. You already know that he doesn't like Az
When Natasya and Azalea saw Richard taking Abbie, who looked like she was in much pain, to the hospital in a rush, they drove away. They went back to the coffee shop, and Azalea immediately said, "I can't believe that that was Abbie just now! Serves her right for being so arrogant all the time! Miss Anderson, what did you do?" There was no way Natasya was going to reveal her tricks to Azalea, so she smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you because it's a secret, but I can help you get Michael, on the condition that you listen to my orders." Azalea was a little disappointed because she thought that Natasya would tell her the truth instead of keeping her in suspense, "Alright, I'll listen to you. What do you want me to do next?" "Hmm..." As soon as Natasya began to speak, Azalea's phone rang. She glanced at it and got up, "I need to go out and take this call." Natasya looked at her coldly. The fact that she had to leave to take the call showed
William went to the bathroom to take a shower while Valeria leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone. Her search history was full of answers regarding the question, "How to help husband who is tired from taking care of a pregnant wife." She read all the answers with a racing heart. Some people said that men have cheating instincts. What would happen if he was unsatisfied and went out to cheat? The word "cheating" gave her a fright since she would die if the man she loved the most cheated on her. In order to prevent William from doing so, she had to help him. Therefore, she secretively looked at the following content. The more she read, the more she blushed, like a riped red cherry. The sound of the water flowing in the bathroom stopped, and William came out with wet hair. When he saw her still leaning on the head of the bed, he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" "I'm waiting for you!" She stuttered. "W
"I wanted to let you sleep a little longer! Why are you blaming me?" William said with innocence as Valeria pinched his arm. He whined in pain, "Ouch, it hurts. Honey, don't be so violent to me so early in the morning, okay?" Damn him! All she did was pinch his arm, but she still cast a wary glance at Hayden. As if he hadn't heard a thing William had said, Hayden stood up from the sofa with a smile, "Since Valeria has woken up, let's have breakfast." For breakfast, the maid prepared a bird's nest for Valeria, while William and Hayden had congee with steamed buns. As Valeria ate the bird's nest, she stared at the bun in William's hands with envy. He smiled and asked, "Do you want to try them? The ones that maid makes are very good." She nodded, and he gave her the bun he had already taken a bite out of. She tasted it and immediately said that it was good. She finished the bun that was given to her, so he took another one and handed it to her
