When Ember saw that the child had her guard up, she didn't ask further questions and reminded, "Avery, you must not run around with the little girl. Got it?"Avery nodded vigorously as he replied, "Mommy, I promise to complete the mission!"After seeing Ember leave, Jamie picked up the toys on the table and started playing by herself.Avery took the toys and said with a smile, "These toys are all mine. How could you take my toys without asking for permission?"He was just trying to get her to talk.Looking embarrassed, Jamie put down the toy and asked hesitantly, "Can I play with your toys?"Avery was wide-eyed, thinking that this little girl was adorable.He had already imagined what it would be like if he had a sister."Feel free to play with any toy you want. They are all yours."Jamie had never had toys while recuperating in the manor. The housekeepers only cared about her health. No one played with her.When she saw the toys that Avery had brought, she stared intently at
The situation left Lugh no choice but to check the surveillance footage at the surveillance room.The security guard looked helpless and sighed. "Dr. Lugh, I wish I could cooperate with you, but the surveillance cameras in the corridor of the office have been down since yesterday. The maintenance personnel has yet to fix them."Lugh's heart sank as he sighed. Then, he replied, "Sorry for the inconvenience."Afterwards, Lugh left the surveillance room and returned to his office. When he opened the door, he saw Avery and Jamie.The two of them were sitting on the couch and having a great time.When Avery saw Lugh, he jumped off the couch with a smile and hugged him, acting like a spoiled child. "Uncle Lugh! You are done with the surgery at last. I had so much fun with my little sister!"Lugh's anxiety disappeared instantly as he picked up Avery and placed him on the couch.The two children, who realized the severity of the matter, dared not look straight at Lugh's serious face.J
Ember was lost in thought as she looked at Jamie. Jamie and Avery looked alike when they stood together.As a doctor, Ember could tell that Jamie was in poor health from her pale face.She frowned and looked at the two children not far away, feeling indescribable irritation.It was absolutely impossible for such a coincidence to happen in the world. Not only did Jamie and Avery look alike, but they were also of a similar age.Ember had a suspicion that things were not that simple, so she took the two children to her office.When it was almost time for Ember to get off work, Avery said reluctantly, "Jamie, my mommy is getting off work. Let's stop playing today and meet another day."After that, Ember held hands with the children and prepared to take Jamie back to Lugh's office.Unexpectedly, Caleb happened to witness this scene.Caleb looked at the children led by Ember in disbelief and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.Ember looked at Lugh and beat around the
At that moment, Penelope, who was wearing red lipstick, a pencil skirt and a pair of high heels, walked up to Ember and her son.She moved elegantly, as if she wanted everyone to notice her.Since Ember couldn't avoid this hostile woman, she pretended that she didn't see her and prepared to leave with Avery.Unexpectedly, the mother and son came into sight of Penelope's arm the next second.Penelope blocked Ember's way, so she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Ember didn't know what Penelope was up to.Seeing that Ember was so afraid of her, Penelope grinned ear to ear and sneered. "Hey, Ms. Sanders. It's just a few days since our last encounter. Why are you so afraid of me? It's not like I'm going to eat you up, right?"Ember gave Penelope a cold-eyed stare and sneered at her absurdity. She didn't want to engage in a quarrel, but Penelope assumed she was afraid."Penelope, don't stand in our way. Do you want to be the laughingstock in front of people here?"The remark ange
Avery was upset at the talkative Penelope and retorted, "You are a bad woman. How can you talk to my mommy like that? Even if that thing is bad, it proves that you have bad taste! Grandma will certainly like the gift given by my mommy. A bad woman like you doesn't have to worry about it!"With that, Avery made a face at Penelope and left while holding Ember's hand.Penelope grimaced. Ferguson Corp was just an empty corporation now, and the Fergusons' fate depend on Caleb.Never did she expect that bastard Avery would ride roughshod over her!Their loud quarrel attracted a lot of attention.However, Penelope was no longer the wealthy daughter of the Fergusons, nor did she have the ability to compete with this group of people. She had no choice but to swallow her anger.When Penelope saw Eva, she handed her present with a smile and said flatteringly, "Grandma, please stay cheerful all the time. I hope you like this present."Eva replied with a smile, "I'm already this old, yet you
Obviously, she was the most deserving candidate to stand alongside Caleb. But now she was being rejected!One day, she'd make them all pay the price for failing to see her true worth!At the time, Eva took Ember's hand inside the mansion.She was quite fond of Ember, but Caleb was slow to take action. She had given him so much time to pursue his wife, yet there was still no action at all.It seemed that Eva still needed to take some action.She sat alongside Ember and said, "I know you're a great woman. If other shameless women dare to cause you trouble, you can seek me out. I'll help you!"Ember knew Eva was honest to her, so she smiled and shook her head. She gently replied, "Don't worry, Grandma. I usually work at the hospital. No one will look for trouble."Eva was generally well-informed and knew exactly Penelope's behavior towards Ember.She was unable to teach Penelope a lesson today since she did not want to disrupt the pleasant environment in the mansion. After this, P
"Ember, you might not know this. Although the wine burns when you drink it, the alcohol degree is actually very low, so don't worry about overconsuming it."However, Eva and Ember didn't drink the same beverage. Ember, who was kept in the dark, believed all she said.Ember drank one glass of wine after another, and her head began to spin.She shook her head to stay awake. After hiccuping, she murmured slowly, "Grandma, I really can't drink anymore. I'm going to get drunk if I keep drinking..."Seeing Ember's current condition, Eva felt she hadn't drunk enough, so she convinced her to drink two more glasses.Avery was astonished. Eva really was capable and experienced in this area.His parents would undoubtedly reconcile tomorrow once Eva made her move, so he no longer had to be concerned!Ember didn't eat much because Eva's wine had satisfied her hunger.Eva badly wanted Ember and Caleb to hurriedly get back together, so she gave Ember a strong dose. As a result, Ember immediat
Ember wanted to hide somewhere right now. She vaguely remembered she was the one yanking on Caleb to keep him from leaving!Ember was so ashamed that she didn't know where to begin expressing her anger.Just then, Caleb moved a little.Seeing this, Ember stumbled out of bed, picked up the clothing on the floor, and put them on.Her huge movement caused her body to ache slightly.Ember couldn't help but mentally curse at Caleb. She wondered how much strength did he use last night for her to suffer from back pain. How long has it been since he had been with a woman?Ember walked downstairs to find Avery and Eva playing on the couch.When Avery saw Ember walk down the stairs, he smiled and swung his arms up. He asked teasingly, "Mommy, how was your rest last night?"If Avery wasn't still a child, she may assume he did it on purpose.Feeling embarrassed, she blushed and changed the topic, "It's time to leave with mommy."Eva smirked as she examined Ember's countenance. She had be
