Paige's belly was hit with excruciating pain, signaling the loss of her child. She suppressed her grief, looked at Alex, and called out, "Alex."Turning at the sound of Paige's weak voice, Alex rushed to her bedside and bent over. "Yes, I'm here. What's wrong, Paige? Tell me, okay?"Paige gnashed her teeth. "Alex...""Yes?""Let's stop seeing each other."A fatal blow struck Alex.Flabbergasted, he met Paige's eyes. "W-What did you say?"Paige repeated herself, "Let's stop seeing each other."Alex forced a smile. "Are you messing with me, Paige? It's not funny. Just tell me if you're ill, and don't worry about tiring me out. I'm willing to do anything for you and the baby. You—""The baby is gone," Paige interrupted Alex. "You don't have to do anything for me anymore because I've aborted the child."Alex's face stiffened upon hearing that. He stared at Paige in disbelief as blood drained from his face. "What did you say?""How many times do I have to repeat myself?" Paige so
"You terminated my child for such a ridiculous reason! You're something else, Paige!" Alex's eyes glowed red. "You claimed you felt insecure when I wasn't around but called me annoying when I was."The child did nothing wrong and was about to come into existence! How heartless can you be? If you disliked the child, you could have given birth and let me raise him. What position did you put the baby and me in? Why did you do that, Paige?!"Holding back tears, Paige looked away and bit her lips hard.However, Paige's cruel and distant attitude seemed to make something click in Alex's mind.He burst into laughter. "I get it now. My mother was right. You didn't want the child because it wasn't mine, right? You cheated on me and made me the father of someone else's child. Isn't that it?"Despite Alex's accusations, Paige remained silent.Alex lost control, grabbing Paige's arms and pulling her up onto the bed."Say something!" he roared. "Explain! You're usually talkative! Why are you
Sensing something off in Caroline's tone, Evan asked, "Where are you? What happened?"Caroline replied honestly, "Paige is at the hospital, and I need to stay with her.""Ask Alex to do it," Evan said, his displeasure evident."But Paige broke up with... Alex," Caroline added."What?" Evan couldn't believe it. "Isn't Paige pregnant? Why did they break up?"Caroline explained, "Paige aborted the child, and she ended things with Alex. Plus, Alex is out of control today. You should go to him."Realizing the gravity of the situation, Evan said, "Okay, I'll call him now.""Sure."After ending the call, Caroline returned to the ward.Although only a few minutes had passed, Paige was already awake, staring out the window.Concerned, Caroline approached and asked, "Hungry? I'll get the bodyguard to buy some food. Just eat a bit, okay?""I don't understand, Carol." Paige shifted the topic. "I don't understand why I'm infected with this disease."Sitting beside the bed, Caroline reas
"So, you think I have a bad insight since I'm Paige's boss," Evan remarked gloomily. "What does it have to do with you?" Alex shook his head. "No, I had a bad insight."Evan continued. "As a boss, I failed to see through Paige's character and made her the head of the design department."Stunned, Alex retorted, "You aren't very perceptive. How could you tell everything?"Quietly, Evan gave Alex a different look.After a slight trance, Alex said, "Wait a minute. You're trying to tell me something. Paige just used this excuse to lie to me, but she has a secret reason, right?"Evan said, "Why didn't Caroline tell me about the kids' true identities until now?""Because she's afraid you'll snatch away her kids since you're the father," Alex answered."So, you should give it some thought regarding Paige." Evan stood up. "You don't have to drink now.""Wait!" Alex stopped Evan."Why do you think Paige would abort the child?" Alex asked."Who should I ask then?" Evan replied."Caro
"I've made up my mind," Paige declared. "You saw how Alex behaved today. I don't want him to suffer another blow, and once is enough. Just let him give up.""Do you think Alex won't learn about your situation for the rest of his life?" Caroline persisted. "He'll find out sooner or later.""It doesn't matter even if he does because I'm going abroad for treatment."Stunned, Caroline asked, "You're going abroad? But Evan's hospital is as good as the ones abroad.""I don't want to stay here and dwell on my lost child since I've aborted here. Stop trying to persuade me, Carol." Misery crept into Paige's voice.Helplessly, Caroline stopped trying because she knew how memories could evoke sadness. "I'll stop since you've made up your mind. When are you leaving?""I will tell my parents about this. It's best if I leave as soon as possible," Paige replied.-Caroline returned to Bayview Villa after driving Paige home.Upon reaching home, she noticed Alex's car as well.After staring a
Suddenly, Evan bent over and carried Caroline from the sofa.Keeping his head hung, Evan stared at Caroline icily and demanded, "I'll make you doze off in exhaustion if you say no."His words made Caroline think of certain scenes.She struggled shyly. "Can you please don't do that kind of thing in broad daylight?"Evan carried her upstairs. "Your room is as dark as night, given the blackout curtains."But Caroline kept on resisting him. "I'm not in the mood to do anything else because of Paige's affairs now.""You can tell me, and I'll help you guys to resolve it," Evan insisted.Hence, Caroline stopped resisting and firmly leaned against Evan's shoulders.Of course, she knew that, but she couldn't break her word since she had promised Paige.After walking into the bedroom, Evan put Caroline on the sofa. Caroline took off her coat and picked up her bathrobe before heading toward the bathroom.When she reached the door, she turned to give Evan a confused look. "It's Thursday
After that, Evan put his hands around her, locking her in his arms.His black eyes were smiley. "It's not good to lie." Caroline's heartbeat quickened because of her anxiety as she locked eyes with him. "I'm not lying." "Who was beside herself, waiting for me for a few days?" Evan slowly got closer to her and whispered hoarsely in her ear. "Don't tell me it wasn't you."The hot breath on Caroline's earlobe electrified her. Even the tip of her ear was red and hot.Panicked, Caroline tried to push him away. "Who told you that?" But she regretted it the moment she raised that question because she had indirectly admitted to it. Pursing his lips, Evan hugged Caroline's waist with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and kissed her with his head low.The lingering hotness in the bathroom and Evan's skillful kissing skills aroused Caroline, pulling her into the romance slowly.-After an unknown period, Caroline lay on Evan's shoulders in exhaustion. Evan couldn't bear t
Mr. Dotson said, "Just get straight to the point and stop swaggering here. Do you think MK will thrive without us?"Evan retorted, "Would you guys easily get such considerable profits worth tens of millions every year without me? How could you compare the past MK to the current MK?"Mr. York chimed in. "It's meaningless arguing this way. Just tell us why you threatened us to come here today!"Evan changed his posture and crossed his legs, appearing quite arrogant. "I want you to agree with my motion to drive my father out of MK during tomorrow's press conference.""That's impossible!""Dream on!""I've never seen such a wicked person like you!"Criticism poured in.Evan snorted and looked at Reuben. "Get me the share transfer contracts." Reuben immediately fished out five contracts from his briefcase and arranged them on the table one by one."What are you doing?" Mr. Burton snapped. "Do you want to force us to sign this contract?"Evan replied, "Sign this and get lost sinc
