Blake had been wanting to resign. She wanted to change her work environment and start anew.Cecilia approved her resignation. Liam was there with her at the company on the day she resigned.Her wedding date with Liam was quite soon, so they had to speed up the process. They did not invite many people to their wedding banquet, but it would be held grandly.On the way to the photography company, Blake suddenly thought of something. She said, "Liam, let's stop by the phone store."Liam replied, "Okay."He did not ask her why. After arriving at the phone store, Blake got a new SIM card and canceled the old one.She had also upgraded her phone to the latest model. She bought the same model for Liam, too.After they left the phone store, she handed the phone to him. "Consider this my first wedding gift to you. Liam, from now on, I'll try my best to be very, very good to you."Liam hugged Blake. "You don't need to treat me very well. I'm already very happy to be able to marry you."T
Liam told the photographers to pause the shoot.After Blake went to the dressing room upstairs, she lay on the couch without wanting to move. "I'll go change.""Do you need me to help you?" Liam asked.Blake was stunned for a moment.It was just an instinctive offer from Liam; he did not think much of it.He continued to say, "Sorry, I was...""It's okay. Come help me unzip; I can't reach it," Blake interrupted.She thought, 'Since I've made the decision, Liam and I will be a married couple from now on. After all, it's just my body; he'd already seen it last time.'Blake held Liam's hand and walked into the changing room. Unexpectedly, he leaned over, pressing her against the door, and held her chin as he kissed her.He said, "Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be loyal to you."Blake smiled slightly. "Okay. I trust you, the very nice Mr. Xander."The promise of 'always be loyal' was more valuable to Liam than the vows declared by the priest in the chur
Before Liam and Blake got back to the apartment, he had already bought many ingredients.Blake had basically moved into Liam's room. After she changed into her slippers and walked into the master bedroom to get her jacket, she noticed the wardrobe was full of her clothes. Only a few of Liam's shirts and pants that he normally wore were in there.She also found their underwear, originally placed under the clothes, neatly folded together in an open drawer.Blake stared blankly at the wardrobe as she suddenly felt annoyed. She threw her pajamas on the bed, grabbed her hair, and lowered her head anxiously. Her mind went completely blank, and she did not know what she was thinking about.It was not until Liam walked in that she snapped out of it. He asked, "Blake, what's wrong?"She shook her head. "I don't know. I think I'm having a headache. I just need to rest for a while, and then I'll be fine.""Sleep for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready," Liam replied.He then caress
Liam said, "If you think the apartment is too small, we can go look for a new place after our wedding."Blake lay on his lap, opened a pack of chips, and started eating. "It's okay. I think we're fine like this. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the landscaping is quite good."Liam replied, "Alright. I'll follow whatever you decide."Blake sniffed and suddenly smelled something. She then sniffed his body. "Did you smoke? I thought you don't smoke?""I'll quit," Liam replied.He then handed over the cigarettes in his pocket and all the money in his wallet to Blake. "From now on, you'll handle everything in this household, including all kinds of expenses. The PIN to the bank account is your birthday.""I'm not good at managing money. I might mess up," Blake responded.Liam said, "It's okay, you can take it slow. I still have some time before starting my new job, so I'll be at home with you during this period.""Okay."A week passed, and it was Blake's wedding.It was held in
Blake had no bridesmaids, so she returned to the hotel room alone. As she stepped out of the elevator and was ready to use the room key card in her hand to swipe and enter the room, she suddenly saw a figure appear from the corner of her eye.She stopped her action and looked at the person who had left the wedding earlier.At that moment, Blake felt her breath catch, but it was only fleeting. She then quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"Kevin replied, "Congratulations."Upon hearing his congratulations, Blake felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. "There's nothing to congratulate. If anything, I should congratulate you. You're soon to be the mayor's son-in-law. In the future, we won't belong in the same social class anymore."I'm tired and came back to rest. You should leave now before Liam comes up and sees you here."Don't look for me again. I don't want him to misunderstand."Kevin responded, "Audrey and
On this romantic night, the moon was obscured by the clouds.Breathing heavily, Blake felt some pain in her abdomen. She asked to stop. "Liam, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have my period soon."Liam sobered up instantly. "I'll go get you some medicine."She peeked out from under the blanket as the bedside lamp turned on. She could clearly see Liam's naked upper body. Her face flushed as she averted her gaze. "It's fine. Just help me call the front desk and ask them to bring up a pack of sanitary pads. I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."Liam replied, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."Blake picked up her clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom. "It's okay. It's probably just my period."However, judging by the blood flowing out, it did not seem like menstrual blood to Blake. It looked like something else.Blake's voice came from the bathroom again. "I think we should go to the hospital."She sat on the toilet and watched the tall, slende
Blake continued, "What about you, Liam? Do you mind?"If you do, you can choose to divorce me. After all, I've wronged you. No one wants to marry a woman who's carrying someone else's child."Liam stepped forward on the shattered cup and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. Blake, I love you, including everything about you. I don't mind your past. I just want to start over with you. I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I was selfish; I wanted to keep you by my side."Blake, your child is my child. I want to raise the baby with you."Don't leave me, okay?"Blake did not know why, but she was not surprised by her pregnancy. However, she felt that there were still some things that she could not let go of, though she was unsure what those were.She was not as calm as she had imagined.She thought about her past events. Then, she indifferently said, "Liam, I don't want this child. Since I'm prepared to be with you, I won't keep this child. It wouldn't be fair to you."Liam di
Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime
