The more Penelope thought about it, the more disgruntled she became. She had been so close to getting the Zachary family another child! The next day, she went directly to the lab to find Sharon. “Penelope, why are you here?” Sharon could almost guess the purpose of Penelope’s visit but she did not state it aloud. “Sharon, do you still have the mood to work on your perfumes and fragrances? Aren’t you worried about Sebastian’s condition at all?” Penelope chastised coldly. “Penelope, that’s too much. I’m his mother. No one cares more about him than I do.” Sharon was troubled enough as it was and did not want to hear any reprimanding words again. “Then why are you so indifferent? Why aren’t you persuading Simon to agree to have another child?” Penelope pushed all the blame to her. “It's not that I didn't find someone for him, but he refused. It was useless even when you drugged him, no?” She no longer thought in that direction now. She knew she could not force Simon nor persuad
“You’re right. You’re only responsible for sowing the seeds. The rest is none of your business.” Riley did not understand his current attitude. Had he not forced her to abort the child before this? Now, he was deliberately showing concern. Was he trying to coax her to get rid of the baby in a different way? “Fine, let's not talk about the child now. Let's talk about something else.” He raised his hands in surrender. “I have nothing to say to you. You need to leave.” “Don’t keep telling me to leave. When I’m done talking, I’ll naturally disappear from your sight.” “Then just say what you want to say!” She really had no patience left to deal with him. Jim frowned. “Your temper is getting worse and worse. Is it like this for all pregnant women?” “You can go now.” She could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. “It's not impossible if you insist on having the baby, but you have to get married to me,” Jim looked her straight in the eye and said. Riley was shocked and
“Brother Jimmy?” Riley sneered as she sized up the couple in front of her mockingly. “Are you one of his female friends?” Riley did not know how many female friends Jim had. She had never wanted to find out before, and… she did not want to know about it now either. She just hoped that he would not bring them to her. “Jim Newton, did you deliberately bring someone over to piss me off? Can't you be without a woman for a moment?” Would he die without a woman to keep him company? To be honest, Jim did not even know that Eryn had been following him. The most important thing was that Eryn's attitude toward him was clearly not like this before. On the day they first met, she had disliked him very much. There was no contact between them after that. At that time, he thought that this was the end to the blind date his mother had found for him and he did not have to worry about how to get rid of her. Surprisingly, she followed him here today and deliberately pretended to be intimate w
Riley suddenly raised her eyes and met his gaze. She lost her senses for a moment, but she soon returned to reality. She smiled coldly. “You said that so seriously I was almost moved.” “You’re clearly seducing my fiancé in front of me yet you say that you have nothing to do with him? A woman like you is so shameless!” Eryn was unwilling to be ignored by them. She reached out and pushed Riley’s shoulder after speaking. Riley was caught off guard and took a few steps back before she stood still. The anger suppressed in her heart could no longer be contained! She took a few steps forward and pulled Eryn out. “The shameless one is you! Why are you at my house? Get out!” “I didn’t expect a homewrecker nowadays to be so arrogant. How dare you touch me after laying your hands on my man? Don’t think I’m a pushover!” Eryn’s temper also flared as she fought back. Riley merely pushed her out but Eryn hit her! Riley covered her cheek that had been slapped. An angry flame flashed throug
Riley's small face had turned white as a sheet. Her forehead was drenched with a layer of cold sweat and her lower body was still bleeding, making her go numb due to the pain.She kept hearing Jim roaring beside her, "Doctor! Please save my child…"She lifted her head to look at him. For the first time, she saw him being so anxious. 'He cares so much for this child?'But he clearly said that he doesn't want a child and even forced me to undergo an abortion.'The hospital was spacious, yet only Jim's voice was heard and everyone was looking at them both.He was a person full of pride, yet he was not bothered at that moment. He was utterly nervous and scared.When the doctors and nurses rushed over, Riley was no longer able to withstand the pain and had passed out.…Sharon received the news and rushed over, only to find Jim sitting on a long bench outside the emergency room with a teary face. His shirt was stained with blood.“What happened? Why did Riley fall?" Sharon immediat
"I… I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know she was pregnant. I thought she was your woman and just wanted to destroy the relationship between you two. I didn’t wish to harm her at all." After Eryn heard that the baby was gone, she became anxious."Do we hold a grudge against each other? Why do you want to destroy our relationship?" He had made up his mind to deal with her if she could not give a reasonable explanation."You deserved it! Do you still remember Zoey? She's my bestie and was fooled by you. You broke her heart and I just wanted to avenge her. Who knew... things would end up this way."'Zoey?' Jim seemed to be rather familiar with this name but just could not recall who she was. There were just too many women around him."I guess you've forgotten her. You're just a playboy who only knows how to break women’s hearts. You're too cruel!" Eryn defended her bestie."You're welcome to seek revenge on me. If you have anything against me, you can take action against me. But w
Jim was chased out of the ward by Sharon. He just stood in the corridor of the hospital with a defeated look on his face. For the past 30 years, he had been living his life proudly. He had never been this ashamed.Even though he was often teased for being the illegitimate child of the Newton family, he had never been bothered about it. However, at this moment, he had lost all his pride and dignity from the past few years of his life.It was only now he found out what he truly desired deep down in his heart. It turned out that he cared so much for Riley.The reason he did not want the child at the very beginning was that he had not realized he had feelings for Riley, and he had not realized how much he cared for that child.He had way too many women surrounding him but it was always just an act. He had never come to know what true love was.Now, he came to realize that he could not afford to lose her…"Jim, how's Riley?" Scarlet looked at her son's lifeless appearance and could va
Riley was lying on the bed and her eyes were staring blankly. It looked as though she had not noticed the two of them and completely ignored them."Oh Riley, Eryn didn't do it on purpose. She really didn't know you were pregnant. She’s genuinely sad and regretting it. If you're disgruntled, then vent it out on Jim. Just let us know how you want us to make up for it," Scarlet chimed in to help.Finally, Riley's gaze landed on both of them. Her dark eyes glinted with hatred. "I want my child. Can you guys do this?""This…" Scarlet was frightened by Riley's hateful eyes. Eryn was also at a loss for words."Riley, I've asked the doctor. As long as you take good care of your body, you'll still be able to get pregnant in the future.""I don't want to have another child in the future. I only want this child!" Riley was very stubborn.Scarlet had no choice but to continue advising, "That child of yours is gone. You should just let them go in peace. This child just wasn’t meant to be, so
