After Lugh got Ember and Avery into his car, he said, "Ember, you have been quite tense recently due to many troubles. Let's go to the temple and relax this time."Ember's eyes smiled as she turned to look at him and replied, "Thank you."After the two of them finished burning incense, Lugh looked at the fortune teller beside them and said, "It is said that this fortune teller is accurate in divination. Why don't we have our fortune told?"The thing was, Ember was not superstitious. She hesitated, thinking if she should refuse his offer.Just then, she heard Avery's coaxing voice. "Mommy, you finally came out to get some fresh air. Why don't you and Uncle Lugh go and have your fortune told?"Ember couldn't argue with him, so she gently pinched his chubby cheek."Miss, hold out your right hand and let me read your palm."After looking at it, the fortune teller said, "Miss, your career will be smooth sailing, but you will have a rocky relationship."The fortune teller continued,
Ember searched around the first floor, but there was no sign of Avery.She was instantly devastated, and her eyes brimmed with tears. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she were to lose Avery again. He might not be as lucky as he was last time.She suddenly remembered something and hurried to the guardhouse to check the surveillance footage.The surveillance footage showed that Avery had gone out and gotten into a cab.Ember paused the surveillance footage, feeling a little anxious.The security guard comforted her. "Miss, calm down. He got into a cab. Could he have gone to a relative's house?"Ember was overwrought as she thanked the security guard.After pondering for a moment, she frowned and hurriedly took out her phone to call Caleb, but she couldn't get through. She suddenly remembered Avery's smartwatch and called him.After Avery picked up the call, Ember hurriedly asked, "Avery, where are you now? I was worried sick."Avery coughed twice before he spoke weakly,
Ember sneered and said nothing.When Caleb saw her get emotional, he lowered his voice. "Em, I wasn't trying to take Avery away from you. I was just—"Ember didn't want to listen to his excuses anymore. Before Caleb finished speaking, she interrupted him, "Stop explaining. Since Avery is willing to be with you, then he can stay here."Things had gotten out of control. Avery wrinkled his nose with an indignant look and said in a choked voice, "Mommy, I was wrong. Please don't abandon me..."Ember shot Avery a dirty look before she slammed the door and left.After Ember left, the dispirited Avery sat on the sofa.He didn't expect things to come to this point. Now, everything he and Caleb had done was in vain.He just wanted his parents to be together. Why was it so difficult?Just then, Penelope came to Caleb for help because of Ferguson Corp.Avery was a little surprised to see her. He then rolled his eyes, pretended to be overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Aunt Penelope, what bri
Before Penelope could explain herself, Avery wiped off his tears and said aggrievedly, "Daddy, I won't allow you to find me a stepmom. Boohoo... I hate Aunt Penelope!"Penelope didn't expect that a child would make a fool of her. She suppressed the anger in her heart and comforted him. "Avery, it's my fault. I will take you to the amusement park, okay?"Caleb didn't believe her and refused her offer outright. "That won't be necessary. You should go home. I will take care of Avery."She clenched her fists as she was reluctant to leave. Ember and her son were the stumbling blocks that prevented her from marrying into the Lane family!Avery, sitting by the window, stopped crying when he heard the word "amusement park" and asked, "Really? Aunt Penelope, are you going to take me out to have fun?""Of course, I will take you anywhere if you want to." Penelope was planning on teaching him a lesson with a scheme in her mind.Shortly after that, Avery packed up his things and went out wit
Just then, a group of onlookers gathered around the lake.An old man snorted and said sternly, "Miss, you mustn't conduct immoral misdeeds. You obviously tried to push the kid just now, but you fell into the lake because you didn't expect that he would suddenly stand up."Penelope grimaced as she didn't expect that someone would see through her.A group of people gossiped behind Penelope's back. "This lady looks quite pretty, but why is she so evil? What if the child fell into the deep lake and drowned?"No one cared about Penelope. She floundered about in the lake for a long time.It was then that the bodyguard realized something was wrong and got Penelope out of the water.She looked miserable with dripping wet hair stuck to her face. Penelope hugged her shivering body and shot him a hostile glance. "Where did a hooligan like you come from? How dare you touch me!""Miss, you look like a rich lady in this outfit, but why are you so malicious? He was the one who rescued you j
Hank and Penelope hatched a great plan, but they didn't know that Caleb had gotten wind of it in advance.The land was no good with a long and unresolved disputed debt, so he decided to forfeit the auction.However, he was well aware that the Fergusons would certainly make a move this time, so he planned to cook up his scheme properly.The next day, Penelope went to Caleb's house with toys and cupcakes.She thought that she wouldn't have tried to coax that rascal, Avery, if it weren't for the competition for that piece of land.Revenge was a dish best served cold. She was bent on ruining Ember's reputation!Avery was a little surprised to see this foolish woman again. She looked ridiculous with the things in her hands.Penelope put the things in her hands on the coffee table before coaxing softly, "Avery, I know you misunderstood me yesterday, so I've bought you toys and cupcakes today to make amends."Avery glanced coldly at the toy cars on the table with a disdainful look. He
The absent-minded Penelope bumped right into the man's hard chest. She gasped in pain and covered her nose.She lost her balance and clung to the man's body.Caleb scorned her for her poor acting skills.Penelope looked flustered as she stammered, "Caleb, what took you so long to come back? I was looking for you..."Caleb supported her and replied, "I just went out to answer a phone call. Why are you in a panic?"When Penelope heard what he said, she quickly felt relieved.Just as she was about to explain herself, Ember suddenly came in.All the housekeepers knew about the relationship between Ember and Caleb, so they didn't stop her from entering the house.Ember stared intently at the two people hugging each other before sneering at them.As expected, a leopard couldn't change its spots. Two days ago, Caleb had sworn to her that he had nothing to do with Penelope.However, they were now hugging each other. How should he explain himself?Caleb narrowed his eyes as he quickl
Ember swallowed the strong drinks glass after glass. She was now a little dizzy with her head buried in her arms, looking pitiful.She could only stop caring for him by forgetting him...Lugh saw that she was a little drunk and asked, "Ember, why don't you get divorced now? Are you in a dilemma?"He knew that his doing was immoral, but he couldn't bear to see Ember in so much pain."Caleb is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the missing children..."Never did he expect that Caleb would be as vicious as to control her using the whereabouts of the missing children.He was a douchebag! Lugh took a gulp of wine and clenched his fist unconsciously.Ember was already wasted, so Lugh drove her home.On the way home, she got out of the car, squatted on the roadside and retched probably because she hadn't eaten dinner.Lugh drove Ember to her house entrance. Seeing her suffering look, he was worried and said nervously, "Ember, I'll make you some hangover soup before I leave.
