Hannah was stunned in devastation for a while. The moment she regained her composure, her first thought was to get rid of the baby as soon as possible. She turned to the doctor frantically and asked, “Doctor, when is the soonest appointment for the abortion surgery?”“If you want, I can arrange it for you next week, the earliest is next Monday.”Hannah was startled and panicked when she heard that she had to wait until Monday, and she asked anxiously, “Why do I have to wait until Monday? If it’s about money, I can pay double or ten times the price!”The situation was so serious right now, one day of delay meant a higher possibility that her pregnancy would be discovered. She couldn’t help but be in jitters.The doctor shook her head and stated, “It’s not about the money, but only clinic visits are available during the weekend, there are no scheduled operations. If you want to abort the baby, you have to wait until Monday.”“Alright… let’s do it on Monday, then.”Hannah’s expressi

Christopher said, “Mom asked you to go to the market, buy some meat on your way back, and cook lunch when you get home.”Hannah was a little agitated, but she replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll drop by the market and head home.”***Charlie and Claire were at their little orchard the entire morning, picking the vegetables.Claire was as happy as a lively and carefree 18-year-old girl. She picked the vegetables cheerfully, loosening the soil, and watering the plants seriously.Elaine was still waiting to take photos to upload onto her social media. She was on pins and needles when the couple hung out at the orchard for a very long time.When Charlie and Claire finally entered the house with a large basket of vegetables, she hurried downstairs, took out her phone, and started taking selfies and photos of the garden at every angle possible.After standing under the scorching sun and taking countless photos, she rushed back into her room and quickly applied the aloe vera gel on her exposed

Hearing that it was her grandmother who had stolen vegetables from their yard, Claire sighed helplessly and said, “Mom, if it’s grandma, just let her be. Let her pick whatever she wants, it’s just some vegetables.”Elaine blurted in disdain, “Oh no, you can’t say that. What did your grandma ever give us anyway? Did you forget how she treated us? Huh, after everything she’s done, she has the audacity to steal vegetables from our yard?! No, I can’t let her!”Claire shook her head forlornly. “Mom, don’t overthink this, okay? Grandma wants some for herself too since she sees how fresh and big our vegetables are, don’t be so stingy.”Elaine mumbled in annoyance, “You are a little traitor, hmph!” Then, she turned and headed up the stairs angrily and went back to her room.However, the more Elaine thought about it, the more she felt that they were on the losing side. They had such a wonderful vegetable garden full of top-quality vegetables, she did not even want to spare a single vegetabl

Hannah was mortified by the diagnosis, hence, she had wanted to please Lady Wilson and her husband by overcompensating them. She had obtained some extra money from selling the coffee machine, so, she used the money to buy some ribs and pork belly to cook a wholesome meal for her family.Lady Wilson frowned in dismay when she learned that Hannah had bought vegetables, and she chided her in dissatisfaction, “Oh my goodness, why did you waste money on vegetables?”Hannah asked in surprise, “Mom, we can’t just eat meat! We have to have a balanced meal for all the vitamins and nutrients our body needs.”Lady Wilson pulled her to the kitchen and pointed to the basket of vegetables she had just stolen and said, “See that? I stole all those fresh vegetables from Charlie’s yard. They have a large vegetable garden in their yard that we can simply pick by reaching into their fence. We don’t have to spend money on vegetables in the future.”Hannah suddenly remembered that she had seen Charlie’

After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie’s house.The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request.Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities.Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. However, daffodils were not edible.Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid.When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately

Hannah hurriedly asked in a honeyed tone, “Mom, why do you need eggs and flour?”Lady Wilson answered, “I want to make eggs and chives dumplings for dinner!”Harold shrieked in surprise, “Grandma, are we having dumplings tonight?”“Yes!” Lady Wilson uttered, smiling ear to ear, “Do you like chives and eggs?”Harold giggled. “Of course! Oh, I love it so much! I haven’t eaten eggs and chives dumplings for a long time! I’m starting to drool when you say it!”Christopher also smiled and said, “Mom, why do you want to eat eggs and chives dumplings suddenly? You haven’t made dumplings for a long time.”Lady Wilson laughed and said, “I’m happy today! So happy that I could fill myself with eggs and chives dumplings!”“Wonderful!” Christopher huffed with a sigh, “I haven’t had dumplings for a long time, I can finally satisfy my cravings today!”Hannah asked, “Mom, other than eggs and flour, do I need to buy some chives?”Lady Wilson grinned triumphantly, “Charlie bought a lot of fresh

Elaine was so angry right then that she almost exploded out of rage.She had just warned Charlie to beware of the old lady in the morning, but instead of taking her warning seriously, he had bought so many fresh chives home!Great, now they were like a charity center to the old lady and her family!If it was in the past, she would have scolded Charlie already, but she didn’t have the courage to do so now.At this moment, Claire asked Charlie in the room, “Dear, what do you want to have for dinner?”Charlie smiled coyly and asked, “You don’t usually care about these things, what’s with the change of attitude? Why do you want to know what I want to eat tonight?”Claire pasted on a childlike smile and said, “I want to go pick some vegetables in the garden. Tell me what you want to eat, I’ll go pick them in the garden. What do you think? Does it sound like a good idea?”Charlie nodded and said with a warm smile, “Let’s go together then, just like what we did this morning.”Claire’s

Christopher whined sheepishly, “Okay, okay, you’re right, Mom. I’ll listen to you, okay?”Lady Wilson glared at him and urged, “Put a little more effort, mince the meat finely and make it tender!”“Yes, Ma’am…” Christopher answered dryly.By evening, the minced meat was done, the eggs were fried, and a large basket of ‘chives’ was washed. All of the ingredients were placed on the cutting board.Lady Wilson made the dumpling fillings herself. First, she mixed the fried eggs and chives with the seasoning for the eggs and chives dumpling. Then, she mixed another bowl of fillings with pork and chives.The rest of the Wilson family started to drool as they watched Lady Wilson make the dumpling fillings. After all, they had been through all kinds of turbulences and misfortunes recently. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such hearty and warm homemade dumplings.After mixing the fillings, Lady Wilson personally taught everyone how to wrap the dumplings. Honestly speaking, their

Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T

Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely

"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam

Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa

With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h

Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—

"Fuck!" When Jacob heard what Charlie said, he was horrified. He nervously asked, "Matilda isn't going to come to our house to deliver the invitation, is she? If Elaine finds out that I've been hiding Matilda's return from her all this time, I'll be so dead!" Charlie, having long seen through Jacob, knew he would never escape the shadow and claws of Elaine. He shook his head and said, "Whether they'll invite you, I have no way of knowing. If you're worried, you can tell Matilda that you don't want to be invited to her wedding and that you don't want to go." Jacob sighed. "That's just a temporary solution. Even if she doesn't know now, she'll probably find out sooner or later. A lot of our mutual friends already know about Matilda's return. You went to the gathering too. But those friends are not really in contact with Elaine, so she hasn't found out yet." Charlie smiled and said, "Matilda's return to the country was at a pretty sensitive time. If I'm not mistaken, she came b

Jacob then realized that Charlie was also driving a Rolls-Royce, and it was a more expensive Phantom. Surprised, he asked, "Charlie, where did you get this car?" Marilyn had prepared the car for Charlie when he left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. He had driven it to Thompson First, so he had decided to use it today. Charlie replied, "A client lent it to me. You sounded urgent, so I drove it over." Then, he added, "You're something else. You're crying like a baby yet you're still in the mood to ask about the car. What's going on? Your friend said you'd cried twice already?" "That bloody Simon!" Hearing this, Jacob became furious and cursed, "He still doesn't have the slightest clue! He's such a damned fool! The more I try to avoid him, the more he keeps blabbering on and on. Argh, he's so stupid!" Charlie asked, "What exactly is bothering you?" Jacob's face instantly turned dejected, and with a long sigh, he choked up and said, "Charlie— Matilda— She's getting married—" "Gettin

Things were a little different and unique in the United States, though. Westerners tended to approach marriage with greater caution. Many couples stayed together for years, had several children, and yet remained as boyfriend and girlfriend. Being together, having children, and raising them jointly didn't necessarily mean they would get married. In fact, it was not uncommon for some to walk down the aisle only after having multiple kids. Because of this environment, elderly couples in the West often limited their relationships to dating, and at most, cohabitation. Very few progressed to the stage of marriage. However, Yolden, like a young man in the throes of passionate love, had invited her on a trip, secretly prepared a proposal ceremony by the seaside, and gotten down on one knee with a ring to propose. These actions deeply moved Matilda and, at the same time, gave her an unprecedented sense of security. Now, Yolden had moved their wedding up a big step and set the date just on
