"Did you just get off call with Lotus? She's pregnant.” Quist tucked his hands into his pocket and leisurely strode into Zelda’s office. He was in a black suit, and his hair was slicked back, revealing his handsome face and accentuating his tall figure.

Zelda's eyes sparkled, and a broad smile surfaced on her face, revealing her two cute dimples.

Due to the joy that was coursing through her, Zelda momentarily forgot the grievances and fury she had toward the stinky man in front of her and nodded her like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes..."

Before Zelda could complete her words, Quist lowered his head so he could be face-to-face with the women. He tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and revealed his typical playboy smile. “Had Lotus not been so considerate to Zaire’s sincere chasing and feelings, she and Zaire might not have a baby and be happy ever after by now." He uttered while staring at Zelda meaningfully.

Zelda's expression changed, and the fury that had momentarily dissi

Even though his eyes were calm, one wouldn't fail to see the worry in his eyes.The expression on Zaire's face almost made Lotus laugh loudly, but knowing that the man was only concerned about her made her heart warm. It was as if her heart had been caressed with so much love, making her whole person sweet.Shouldn't Zaire be the one to ask her to visit the Ludovic family mansion regularly? Why was Zaire worried that Lotus wouldn't like Freya and Fickel’s reactions and would rather she stayed back to avoid getting hurt?Freya and Fickel clearly don't like Lotus, so they both knew that the couple might not be happy with the news they wanted to share, and Zaire was afraid that it would make Lotus sad.Lotus grabbed Zaire's hand and squeezed it comfortingly before raising her head to stare at him with a calm smile on her face.

    At that minute, Darvish leisurely strode into the mansion. Noticing the tense and weird ambiance, his brows furrowed slightly. “Grandad, mom, dad, Venus.” He greeted calmly.Immediately, Darvish turned to Zaire and Lotus while slightly glaring at Zaire due to grievances. He never expected that Zaire, that iceberg, would settle down and have a kid before him. None of them expected that, but they should have all expected it because Zaire had always been unpredictable. “Congratulations…”“Congratulations?” Grandpa Ludovic stopped paying attention to the chess and interjected carefully. His sharp eyes fell on the couple immediately, as if to ask what the congratulations were about.“We are having a baby.” Zaire calmly responded, his expression softening and a gentle smile forming on his face. He wrapped his hands around Lotus' waist as if to tell them that regardless of what their response might be, he'll always stand next to Lotus.Venus' eyes flew wide open, and her calm expression dist

    As soon as Zaire left for Grandpa Ludovic's office, the ambiance seemed to turn more chilling and suffocating, making Lotus feel extremely miserable.Lotus couldn't fail to capture Venus' glaring eyes, which she ignored. Although Freya didn't say a word, the cold and alienating aura oozing from her was enough for Lotus to realize that Freya didn't want Lotus to approach her.Venus held Freya's hand and repeatedly laughed while acting coquettishly. It was vivid that Venus was using her actions to flaunt to Lotus and depicting that, so what if Lotus had Zaire's backing? Venus had the entire family's back, so she still had the last laugh.Lotus ignored Venus' attempt to make her unhappy. Instead, she sat straight and made sure to take a deep breath and calm herself down so she wouldn't affect her baby.“I heard you can play chess well.” The sudden sentence of Fickel snapped Lotus out of her thoughts, causing her to turn toward Fickel. Lotus elegantly nodded, “Yes, Master…”“We are a fam

    Lotus calmly hugged Zaire and patted his back gently. “Is anything wrong? Grandpa doesn't accept us?” She spoke softly while patting his back in comfort. Zaire shook his head and separated from Lotus. “I don't want to lose you. Baby, I can't live without you,” he muttered, his eyes seeming to be pleading that Lotus should promise him not to leave him.Lotus' eyes crinkled and her heart warmed. She tiptoed and raised her neck to place a kiss on Zaire's lips. “Sealing my promise to never leave Zaire...”Before Lotus could complete her words, Zaire grabbed the back of her head and kissed her intensely until she was out of breath.Zaire separated from Lotus when he felt that he was about to shoot himself in the feet. Immediately, he grabbed Lotus' hand and strode out of the mansion while Lotus giggled in amusement. Lotus' lips curved up with joy, and she squeezed Zaire's hand gently to seal her promise again and again. She believed that Freya and Venus' words must have been the reason f

Aster immediately shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Riley and Ezra stepped into the room; an indifferent expression was hung on Ezra's face, while a worried expression was hung on Riley's face.“Darling, our daughter hasn't woken up yet. It's past 24 hours.” Riley expressed and clung to Ezra’s hand worriedly. Ezra's face turned stern, and he harrumphed. Due to Aster's actions, the family couldn't go out because reporters now blocked their door. As if that wasn't enough, Aster's actions have painted a bad image on Ezra and the Meyer family as a whole. “Hmph! What use does she have if she wakes up?” He chided unhappily.

    The bar room was dark except for a tiny neon light bulb. The strong smell of cigarettes pervaded the air and a stash of cigarette ashes scattered around. Different empty bottles of rare and expensive liquor, whiskey, wine, etc., filled the bar room.Quist languidly and ungentlemanly sat on a couch, his whole person detached and his reddened eyes blank. A rueful smile was hung on his face, and a gloomy aura exuded from him.Quist exhaled and picked up a glass of alcohol and chugged it down his throat. Upon recalling Zelda’s reaction, his expression slipped, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the chest, making him feel very uncomfortable. Quist gazed into the distance, his expression very indecipherable. Never did he expect that his way of living in the past would be very troublesome in the future. Had he known that it would, he would never have embarked on it.Not only did Zelda reject him, but she didn’t believe his confession either. Was anyone as pathetic as him?Quist directly

If he dies tonight, then how can he end with his Zelda? No, he doesn't want to die! Immediately, Quist snapped out of his thoughts and hugged Zelda. “Wife…” Immediately, Zelda snorted, slapped Quist's hand, and glared at him. This silly playboy. She told him to chase after her properly; is this how to chase after a girl? “Mr. Quist, the proper way to chase after a girl is starting from introduction…” “Yes. Yes.

So what if Zaire and Lotus are together? Reuben and Lotus came from the same world. Reuben smiled at Lotus gently, “I didn’t want to yet somehow I ended up here to sightsee, but it turns out..." He paused and took a glance at the place with eyes flickering with contempt. “Is this what you go through here…” unclean air, not so clean water...Understanding what Reuben implicitly meant, Lotus’s eyes flashed with disapproval. “I was born here all my life.

He could only bite down his words and replied carefully, "Yes, boss.” As soon as Zaire cut off the call, Wolf lowered the phone from his ear.
