He held her hand and asked, “Do you want to get back together with me?” Fern looked at him in shock. He had just woken up. Why was he talking about this now? He then said, “I’ve gotten a divorce. I have the right to discuss getting back together with you now.” It seemed like he remembered everything. Did he hear everything that they had told him when he was unconscious? Had he just been unable to open his eyes? “I should call a doctor over so they can have a look at your condition.” She was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly remembered something. “Right, it’s New Year’s Eve today. There won’t be doctors around.” He pulled her back and said, “You don’t need to call a doctor. I’m feeling fine. Everything is alright.” “Really?” She looked at him worriedly. He tugged her forcefully and pulled her in front of him. “I’ve woken up. You don’t need to worry or look after me anymore. In the future… I’ll look after you.” She met her gaze. Her heartbeat then st
Fern never thought that the old master would not be against Eugene’s decision to marry her. Had the old master finally realized her genuine feelings for Eugene? After all, she had been staying by his side to look after him in the past year. Perhaps he just did not want to trigger Eugene’s emotions? He had just woken up, so his vitals were still unstable. “That’s great, Daddy. You can hold a wedding ceremony with Mommy after you recover. I want to be your flower girl during the ceremony.” Rue was overjoyed. “Sure, I’ll let you be our flower girl during the ceremony.” Eugene caressed her head. Fern looked at them and said, “I haven’t agreed to marry you.” Her words caused the smiles on Eugene and Rue’s faces to vanish. They both looked at her. Before Eugene could say anything, Rue asked in an urgent tone, “Mommy, don’t you want to marry Daddy? Don’t you want to get back together with him? When Daddy was unconscious, you said that you’d agree to get back together wi
They had tried to hold a wedding ceremony more than once, but they had never been able to go through with it.“It’s alright for us. Our children have already grown up anyway,” Sharon said with a shrug. “Since that’s the case, Bonnie should be our flower girl during the wedding as well.” Sharon rejected his offer. “Rue is enough. Bonnie is still too small. She can’t be a flower girl.” Eugene huffed coldly. Bonnie was not that young. Sharon just could not bear to let her be a flower girl. Old Master Newton remained silent as he listened to their conversation. He then said, “Move back into the Newton household after you get discharged from the hospital.” Eugene thought about it for a while before saying, “Sure, I’ll move back in with Fern and Rue.” The old master frowned. Was he trying to test his limits? He glanced at Fern. Although he still found it hard to accept her, he had no choice since Eugene liked her. “You should stay outside, then.” He did not object to
Fern looked at the man beside her and said, “Have a seat in the garden. I’ll meet him and come back in a while.” She then helped Eugene to the bench by the side so that he could sit down. He held her hand and fixed his dark gaze on her. “Are you afraid that I’ll hear your conversation?”She was slightly stunned. She then smiled and asked, “Why do you think so? You can come with me if you want to listen to our conversation.”Eugene shook his head and said, “I believe that you won’t run away with him. I’ll wait for you here.”She held his face in her hands and said, “Yes, stay here obediently and wait for me to come back.” After speaking, she lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.She turned around and was about to leave when he pulled her back once again. He held the back of her head with his large hand and pulled her in front of him. He then kissed her on the lips. Fern’s pupils constricted. This man was really… Did he have to do this now? He knew that she was about
The woman reached out to take away the glass of liquor in Asher’s hand after speaking. He glared at the woman angrily and shouted, “Scram!” He was extremely frustrated right now. He did not want anyone to disturb him. The woman was shocked by his fierceness. She said irritatedly, “Hmph, why are you being so fierce? You don’t know how to appreciate my offer.” “Scram right now!” He was not patient at all. After the woman left, he continued drinking. The alcohol could not numb the despondence in his heart. At night, Fern cautiously walked out of Rue’s room after she fell asleep. Eugene was looking through some documents in the living room. Ever since he got discharged from the hospital, Jim had come up with plenty of excuses to bring over the documents from the company so that he could handle them. During the year that he was unconscious, Newton Corporation had been managed by Jim. However, he did not put his heart into managing the corporation, so the company made a
The bar was in a mess. There were broken glasses and bottles on the floor. The tables and chairs had all been pushed down as well. This disastrous scene was hard to look at. All the customers in the bar had left. Two of the customers whom Asher had beaten up were seated a distance away. They were waiting for someone to apologize or compensate them. If the waiter at the bar were not holding them back, they would have rushed over to beat Asher up a long time ago. Their faces were badly bruised from the beating that Asher gave them. Fern caught sight of Asher lying on the floor a short distance away. A few waiters were monitoring him as they were afraid that he would cause a ruckus once again. She was just about to walk over when Wyatt grabbed hold of her. “Be careful. There are glass shards all over the floor.” “I know.” She avoided the shards of glass and made her way in front of Asher. “What’s wrong with him?” she asked the bar waiter. The bar manager replied to her
“Their marriage has been confirmed? When did this happen?” He stared at the woman in his arms and asked, “Fernie, are you really going to marry him?” Fern could finally take a breath. “Asher, stop causing a ruckus. You’d better head back with me since you’re so drunk.” It was useless to discuss these things with him now. “Reply to me first. Are you really going to marry Eugene?” Asher held her shoulders with both hands and asked her. Fern was forced to meet his gaze. Although she knew that he was drunk now, she still nodded and said, “Yes, I’m going to marry him.” “You…” Asher’s expression changed at once. Evidently, he found it hard to accept this answer. The next second, he suddenly pushed her away and clenched his fists. He then swung his fists at Wyatt and shouted, “Eugene Newton, you bastard! She belongs to me!” It was too late for Fern to stop him. She could only call out to Wyatt, “Be careful!” Wyatt was extremely agile. Not only did he manage to catch Asher’s
After Eugene woke up, Fern had been accompanying him to rehabilitation and taking care of his basic necessities. She had not thought about his gene problems at all. She did not intend to ask him about it anymore. Sharon had already explained everything to her. While he was unconscious, she had done a genetic test on Rue. Rue had inherited the madness gene, but it was not dominant, so everything would be as normal so long as she was not triggered. She learned that his madness gene was not dominant as well. He would only be triggered under certain circumstances. He was just like anyone else at other times, so she did not have to worry too much. She then asked Sharon more about the madness gene and got to know that this genetic disease was inevitable. However, the disease was not as severe in their generation. As long as Eugene kept himself calm, the madness gene in him would not be triggered. “What if I don’t like you anymore?” she asked on purpose.Eugene raised his head to
