When Lugh heard Ember's response, his heart was filled with joy.Once the duo came home, Lugh didn't want to trouble Ember with dinner, so he recommended stew as dinner instead.Ember felt quite embarrassed. Lugh had done so much for her, yet her only reward was dinner. She was at her wits' end.Lugh did not accompany Ember to the school after dinner. Instead, he went to Caleb's company in hopes of having a proper talk with him.In the president's office, a cigarette was trapped between Caleb's fingers as he slowly spat out a mouthful of smoke rings. A displeased expression took over his face.He heard a sound, followed by Lugh strolling in at this very time.The latter grinned, his scorching gaze falling on Caleb's form. "Mr. Lane, Ember doesn't love you anymore, so stop pestering her. I hope I can make it clear to you today.""Lugh, I've told you that as long as I don't divorce her, she can only be mine!" Caleb spat out with a bitter chuckle.Lugh hadn't expected Caleb to be
Finally, Penelope agreed to the plan. Soon, she returned to Lane Group.There, Caleb presented her with the next plan to cooperate with the Fergusons. She was pleased, thinking that Caleb had finally figured it out and was eager to cooperate with her family for her sake.In truth, Caleb was merely setting up a trap.But this moron, Penelope, was wholly convinced that Caleb was on her side. She was even thrilled.The two families needed to attend a cocktail party in order to discuss cooperation.As the heiress of Ferguson Group, Penelope also attended the party.Those on the sidelines were envious when Penelope and Caleb entered the restaurant together."Mr. Lane and Ms. Ferguson make a matching couple.""Yes. It's really rare to see women as beautiful and gentle as Ms Penelope. You're really lucky, Mr. Lane."Penelope was immersed in the compliments as they crossed the hall.She reached out her hand to take Caleb's, only for him to take a step back. He acted as if he wasn't c
Ember pursed her lips and remained silent."Mommy, Daddy is already miserable, so just go see him, okay?" Avery had an inkling of what happened. He gripped Ember by the wrist and shook it gently.She felt helpless and had no choice but to agree.Soon, Ember dashed to the hospital. Allen was overjoyed to see her."Madam, you finally came. Just now I tried everything, but Mr. Lane refused to take the medicine at all. The doctor said that if he drags it on like this, his condition will deteriorate..."Ember's heart eventually softened. She gazed at the unconscious man on the bed, noting the sadness on his face.She then turned to look at Allen while saying, "Give me the medicine. It's late now, so you should go home first."Ember took the pill and fed it to Caleb smoothly. She had a feeling that Allen was lying.Having detected a familiar scent, Caleb's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.Ember had considered leaving after administering the medication, but the sight of Caleb still
Ember was moved. As soon as she held Avery in her arms, tears welled up in her eyes.She forced herself to hold back her tears.Avery noticed her sadness and hugged her tightly without letting go. He was very mature for a kid his age."Mommy, don't be sad. Avery will always be on your side. Next time, I'll help you teach Daddy a good lesson!" he said solemnly.Ember composed herself and kissed Avery on the cheek.After arriving at the hospital, Ember found Lugh sitting in her office.It appeared that the nurse checking in on Caleb overheard her and Caleb arguing early this morning. She had hidden next to the doorway and never went in."Ember, I've heard about what happened between you and Caleb. If you want to get rid of him as soon as possible, I'll help you," Luch said, clearly concerned.Ember smiled bitterly as she shook her head helplessly. Then, she explained, "Caleb threatened me with divorce and wants custody of Avery. You know Avery is my life. I can't live without him
Avery admired Lugh a lot. At the same time, he also resented Caleb, who only succeeded to pissing Ember off every day. That man should learn from Lugh!Ember looked at this loving scene and took out her phone to take a photo of it.She owed Avery too much over the past few years because of her own job. Not to mention, she rarely took Avery out to have fun together. She wasn't qualified to be a mother.When Avery noticed Ember fidgeting alone, he exclaimed, "Mommy, come over and fly a kite with me."Many others had gathered at the picnic spot, and they couldn't help but feel envious of the trio."Aww, you three make a great family! I'm so jealous of you! Your child is adorable!"Seeing as the passersby had completely misunderstood their relationship, the bashful Ember wanted to clear things up.But at that moment, Avery piped up, "Of course! Mommy loves me!"Ember gave an embarrassed smile to the onlookers before covering his mouth.Avery understood he'd said the wrong thing. H
Hank couldn't help but slam a hand onto the table. He roared, "My daughter has gone to great lengths for you! How dare you give up on a lucrative business and even resort to terminate the contract with Ferguson Corp for the sake of an unknown woman!"Caleb had been extremely calm until he heard him chastise Ember. His face turned sour, and he frowned deeply in response. He took a drag from his cigarette before speaking up, "Mr. Ferguson, do you really think that I don't know what you and Penelope are doing?"Hank was surprised, though he soon calmed down. He huffed coldly in return. "Penelope has been waiting for you for so long, but you've been keeping her waiting for far too long! I just want her to have a proper status in her relationship with you!"Caleb was amused, to say the least. Hank hadn't realized Caleb hadn't divorced yet. Bestowing Penelope a proper status was definitely a ridiculous idea.Caleb put out his cigarette. "If you summoned me here just to stop me from t
Hank scoffed and walked away after saying that.Meanwhile, Penelope couldn't hold it in anymore. She decided to visit Lane Group.As she strutted into the company in her high heels, she felt sorry for Caleb when she noticed him burying his head in his work. "Caleb, I know you don't want to be like this. Why don't you beg my dad for mercy?"Caleb scowled and looked at her with chilly eyes.Both Fergusons were ridiculous. One moment Hank would be mocking him, the next moment Penelope would come crawling to him."Ms. Ferguson, please return. I still have work to take care of."Penelope clenched her fists tightly, clearly reluctant to leave. She questioned, "Caleb, is it really worth it for you to do this because of Ember? She doesn't love you at all! Wake up!"Caleb ignored her. Instead, he summoned the security guards and had them drive her out of the company.Caleb drove straight over to Ember's house after work.Ember heard the car door open. She walked to the front door and p
Avery kissed Ember on the face happily when he heard that."Thanks, Mommy!"Caleb had already regained consciousness when Ember reached the hospital.But he looked tired and pale.Caleb was surprised when he saw Ember. "Em?"His voice came out hoarse. He had been staring at Ember since she came in.Ember cleared her throat and said slowly, "You're my patient. How are you feeling?"Ember's outfit was a mess. She was not wearing her white coat, which meant she had rushed all the way from her house. Having noticed that, Caleb's smile widened.Meanwhile, Ember didn't know how she should feel about this situation. She was troubled by everything that was going on.She did not want Caleb to misunderstand the situation, so she explained, "Avery asked me to come. He's worried about you. I promised him I'd take care of you."Caleb was overjoyed. Thanks to Avery, he'd get to spend more time with Ember. Ember did a thorough check-up on Caleb afterward. She handed him his medical repo
