Fern felt her hand becoming warm as he continued holding it. She remembered that he had yet to divorce Sydney, so it was inappropriate for him to be doing this to her.She forcefully withdrew her hand. Lowering her eyes, she refused to look at him. “Are you really going to get a divorce?” she asked softly. He had mentioned that he would be getting a divorce in front of the old master just now. She still could not understand why he wanted to get a divorce. Eugene fixed his dark and heated gaze on her as he nodded. “Yes, I don’t want to miss out on you once again.” She stopped breathing and turned around to stare at him. Her heart sped up uncontrollably once more. “W-Why?” Why her?He met her gaze. His eyes were focused on her and full of love. “That’s because a part of me can’t forget about you,” he said as he pointed to his own heart. She looked at where he was pointing at and kept quiet. She did not know how she was feeling right now. “Does that mean that you still
It was all because of Fern Thompson… After she returned, she took away everything that rightfully belonged to her. She snatched her husband away and took away the happiness in her life! ‘Fern Thompson, you really deserve to die!’ Sydney crumpled the summon in her fist tightly. Her gaze was filled with deep hatred. ...Eugene got off work on time these two days. He would immediately head to Fern’s house with the excuse that he wanted to accompany his daughter for dinner. Fern had no reason to ask him to leave.Asher got off work on time today as well and headed to Fern’s house. He did not come empty-handed. He had bought some groceries and wanted to go over to prepare dinner for Fern and Rue. “Excuse me, but I’ve already brought some groceries over. Rue wants to have braised fish, and I want to have braised eggplants. Fernie is preparing the dishes now,” Eugene told Asher after glancing at him. Asher did not know that Fern knew how to cook and her cooking skills wer
Fern came out after preparing the dishes. She caught sight of Eugene and Asher sitting on the sofa. They were watching TV with Rue. “Rue, I’ll bring you to the theme park to play next weekend. How does that sound?” Eugene asked. “I’ve already gone to the theme park with Mommy previously. Daddy, bring me to the museum instead,” Rue said. Eugene was just about to say something when Asher interrupted, saying, “Do you want to go to the museum? I have a friend who’s working at the museum. I’ll bring you there tomorrow and ask him to be our guide.” “Really? Does your friend really work at the museum?” Rue looked at Asher. “Of course, it’s true. I’ll contact him tonight to make an appointment for tomorrow.” Asher was extremely proactive. Eugene eyed Asher coldly. He felt like beating up this annoying man! “Daddy, can Uncle Asher bring us to the museum tomorrow?” Rue turned around and asked him. Eugene smiled at Rue and said, “Sure, he can be our guide.” Rue was his daught
Both of them were too annoying!“Mommy, you’d better have some of the braised fish.” Rue took a piece of braised fish and placed it in her bowl. “Alright, I’ll have this braised fish.” Fern did not want to look at Eugene or Asher. Both of them quietly ate the food that they meant to give her. Fern felt slightly exhausted. It seemed that both of them wanted to fight at the dining table. After dinner, both of them refused to leave. “You guys can go back now,” Fern had no choice but to ask them to leave in exasperation. “I want to keep Rue company for a little longer.” Eugene looked at Rue. He hoped that Rue would ask him to stay. Rue was a smart girl. She immediately said, “Mommy, I want Daddy to stay back and keep me company tonight. He’s going to bring me to the museum tomorrow.” Asher was hurt by her words. He immediately emphasized, “Rue, I’m the one bringing you there.’ “Oh, Uncle Asher is the one bringing us there,” Rue corrected her words. However, her fathe
Sydney went to the prison to visit her mother today. She saw her mother through the metal bars. She had gotten a lot thinner, and her heart hurt for her. “Mom, you…” She wanted to ask if her mother was doing alright, but she did not know if she should ask her after seeing her like this. Mrs. Neal had been anticipating her daughter convincing Eugene to let her out of prison early. She was being bullied by the other female inmates in prison. She could not stand it anymore. “Syd, has Eugene agreed to let me go?” She knew that as long as Eugene said something about it, she would not have to stay in prison anymore. Sydney’s gaze darkened as a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes. She shook her head and said, “No…” Eugene only had his mind set on divorcing her and getting back together with Fern right now. He would not care about whether her mother lived or died. Mrs. Neal was stunned. She then started getting emotional. She glared at her daughter angrily and questioned
Fern frowned instinctively. Did she want to meet her to blame her for seducing Eugene and convincing him to divorce her? “If you want to talk about your divorce, then we have no reason to meet. I’ve never asked him to divorce you. It’s his own decision.” Fern did not want to meet with her just so they could argue. “It’s because of the divorce, but there are also some other private matters I’d like to talk to you about. It’d be more convenient for us to talk in person.” Fern still was not willing to meet with her in private. “You can tell me about it through the phone.” “What’s wrong? Are you feeling guilty? You don’t dare to meet with me?” Sydney questioned her with a cold sneer. “I’m not feeling guilty, I’m just—” “If you aren’t feeling guilty, what are you afraid of? I just want us to meet. You’ve already snatched my man away. Are you afraid of a loser like me?” “You…” Fern felt that she had misunderstood things. She was making things sound outrageous. “Let’
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Rue noticed her odd reaction. She asked in shock, “Why are you sweating so much?” As the cabin continued moving up, Fern’s fear and anxiety heightened. She pretended to be alright and said, “I’m fine…” However, she fell from the seat as soon as she finished speaking. Her breathing grew erratic as well. “Mommy? Are you afraid?” Rue was shocked by her reaction. Fern did not know what was happening to her. Suddenly, a shadow loomed before her. Eugene pulled her into his arms. “Are you afraid of heights?” His deep voice sounded from above her. Her face was leaning against his chest, and she could listen to his strong heartbeat. The overwhelming fear and anxiety that washed over her just now subsided a little. However, her heart raced when she caught a glimpse of the view below them. She even felt a little dizzy. She instinctively grasped at the clothes at his waist and closed her eyes. Fern realized now that she had a fear of heights. “I…” “
Sydney had arrived at the cafe a long time ago. She was waiting for her. “I ordered an Americano for you. You can change it to something else if you don’t like it,” Sydney said. “No, thank you.” Fern stirred the coffee in front of her with a teaspoon and took a sip of the coffee. Sydney kept staring at her. A complicated glint flashed across her gaze after she watched her drink the coffee. “I thought you wouldn’t be willing to meet up with me,” Sydney said. “What do you want to tell me?” Fern felt like Sydney was acting slightly weird. Her gaze was slightly terrifying. Sydney took a sip of her coffee and said, “Can you return Eugene to me? I’m begging you.” Fern had thought about what she would tell her before she came over. After listening to her words, she realized that Sydney had asked to meet up because of Eugene. “You don’t need to beg me. I didn’t snatch him from you.” Although she was extremely exasperated, she still wanted to explain things to her. “If
