Edward shook his head lightly, his eyes deepening in coldness. Since when did he catch a cold? Some ungrateful fool must be talking about him behind his back. Seeing as Josh and Edward were descending the staircase, the old butler approached them. "Master Edward, Young Master Josh, good morning." Josh nodded as he fixed his gaze on the main entrance of the house. "How is mother?" The old butler shook his head before saying, "Mistress is nowhere to be seen, I checked this morning. I didn’t see her anywhere." Josh's eyebrows raised. "Did you send someone to have a full sweep of the area?" The old butler answered. "We've looked everywhere, but we couldn’t find her." Edward carried Josh into the bathroom calmly. "Don't worry. She's an adult, not a child. She wouldn't have waited the entire night outside. She's probably back at the Bennets' place. He handed Josh the electric toothbrush. Josh took it before they both stood side by side and brushed their teeth by the sink.
Ziggy kept his head lowered. If he had lifted his chin, his face that was identical to Josh's would be recognized. "Mommy, I have a stomach ache. I'm going to use the toilet." He then turned around and ran, not seeing Jane who was approaching. As a result, the two crashed into each other, and Ziggy was sent flying before he landed by Edward's side. "Are you alright?" Edward helped Ziggy up with one arm but was stunned when he saw Ziggy's face. The little boy had pink lips, pearly teeth, and looked adorable. However, the child and Josh looked exactly the same too! Ziggy stood up straight, his wise-beyond-his-years eyes reflecting a hint of seriousness. "Looks like we can't hide it anymore." "Hide? Hide what?" Rachel and Edward asked simultaneously. Josh and Ziggy shared a look before Josh took his mask off. The moment the mask was off, Rachel froze in surprise. Her eyes were wide as she looked at the twins — Ziggy and Josh. She could not seem to react. "What, wha
Thud! The door of the presidential suite was shut heavily as Rachel Bennet, who was pushed into the room, landed loudly on the ground. In her directionless drunken state, Rachel stumbled toward the bathroom following the sound of the running showerhead. The bathroom door was pushed open, leading into a foggy, steamy space where a man with honey-colored muscles continuously moved about before her. While Rachel made a face, she lost her balance and fell toward the man in front of her. Fortunately, she reacted in time and managed to clutch onto the man's wrist that was holding the showerhead. Kabedon— Although her 5’4” height held no weight against his 6’2”, her pressing bodyweight forced the man against the wall. "Woman, how the hell did you get in?" As the frigid voice resounded in the foggy bathroom, even the fog seemed like it had been frozen solid. Rachel shook her head, trying to clear her cloudy mind that was like a host for hundreds of birds. "Shut up! One more wor
Rachel casually took a jacket from the bedside and covered herself up before she sneaked out of the presidential suite. By the time Edward had slowly woken up, the woman with whom he had shared the night was already gone. He swept his fringe to the back. The sunlight had fallen softly on his abs, outlining his fair skin and toned physique. As Edward glanced at the empty space beside him, his gaze was immediately drawn to the handmade bracelet that was left beside the pillow. Frowning, he picked up the bracelet. The light fragrance on it reminded him of the woman’s body scent. "Woman, are you seriously trying to dismiss me with this thing after sleeping with me?" Rachel, who had sprinted all the way home, was nervous. The Bennet family had always been strict on her and her sister who were not even allowed sleepovers, and now... Rachel shook her head and thought, 'It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be fine. It's so early, mom and dad are probably still asleep.' So she pushe
Mrs. Bennet held the livid Mr. Bennet back, hinting to him with her eyes and a shake of her head about Jodie, who was currently holding Rachel in her arms. Jodie was the daughter of the Comer family! In that household, they had a preference for daughters, so naturally, Jodie was pretty well-liked at home. The Comers and the Bennets were long-time family friends, hence Jodie was not someone they could lay their hands on. Mr. Bennet shook his arms and barked with a grim expression, "Take second young miss to her room. From today onward, she is not allowed to leave the house!" After Mr. Bennet stormed out of the hall, Mrs. Bennet too left with a sigh. Her disappointment toward Rachel was written all over her face. Kneeling beside Rachel, Rue could not help but share her thoughts, "Rachel, you really messed up this time, having sex with a stranger. Don't you remember? You are supposed to be marrying Ian." Rachel clenched her jaw and looked up at Rue. Her spirited eyes were fill
Narrowing her eyes, Rue dialed an unfamiliar number from her office. "Mr. Shawn? Did you enjoy yourself last night? My sister was a virgin, you know. I know you'd love it. I even made the effort of getting her drunk before sending her over. So, I'd like to know when you'll be sending her nudes to me, as promised." Silence enveloped the other end of the phone and after a moment, a voice rang out, "Nudes? What nudes?" Rue frowned, but she maintained her cheery tone. "Haven't we talked about this? I'll send my sister over to you, and you'll send me her nudes." As she said that, the voice on the other end of the phone flared with rage. "Rue! You have the nerve to claim having done the deed! I was waiting in my room for an entire night, but no one came in!" Stunned, Rue’s face was filled with surprise. "It can't be! I shoved her in myself! I can't be wrong, you told me you were in the presidential suite 206!" The voice on the other end paused for a while. "I did book the preside
The mock turtle soup spilled across the smooth table surface and began to drip onto Rachel from its corner. The sticky liquid dripped onto Rachel's clothes, dirtying it. Rachel's brows slowly pulled toward each other as her face soured by the second. "Oh, no, the soup is dripping." Although Rue pretended to panic, the tilt in her hand showed that she had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, she flicked her wrist and splashed the rest of the content onto Rachel's face. "Rachel, don't worry, the table is clean. You can continue eating this soup. After all, you've never tasted anything so luxurious..." Rachel pushed away Rue’s arm that was pressed down on her shoulder and slowly stood up. The stains on her dress did not dampen the spirit she had. "Rue, you're my older twin sister, so there are many things you do that I put up with. But don't cross the line, because everyone has their limits. When grasping at straws, even rabbits can bite." Having dropped her last wor
Stuck between Mr. Bennet and Rue, Rachel could not do anything but press her hands hard against her abdomen. She could not get away from both of them no matter how hard she struggled. Although they were her father, her mother, and her sister, she felt like she was alone all those years living as a Bennet. Even if the arrival of this child meant that she would lose her purity and reputation, at least, she would no longer be alone from that day onward. Hence she must protect this child! Mrs. Bennet quickly pulled the doctor aside and gave him a card. "Doctor, we don't know the father of the child, so the Bennets cannot have the child. Please, abort it." The doctor did not accept the card that Mrs. Bennet tried so desperately to shove in his hand, but he set his eyes on Rachel, who continued to resist even though she was sweating buckets. As she struggled, Rachel continuously used her hand to protect her abdomen delicately... After observing her for a long while, he had ma
