Why was Abel telling her this?He did not know what kind of person Lily was.This was harming Demi’s brother!“Brother? Demz has a brother?” Lily’s eyes lit up as she lay on Ruth’s lap and leaned toward Abel hopefully.Abel acted as if he did not see Ruth glaring at him. “Yes, I didn’t know that she had a biological brother. I only found out about their relationship after I heard from my uncle that he had a fiancée who was his sister’s good friend.”Ruth was speechless.Why was Abel so adept at digging these things up?“He has a fiancée?” Lily only caught that fact.“Not anymore. His fiancée is now married to someone else,” Abel said casually.Lily heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s a relief! No matter how much I like him, I can’t be a mistress…”Just as she finished mumbling, she met Abel’s deep eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt guilty that her little secret had been exposed.She stammered and was about to say something to salvage the situation when she heard Abel
The New Year festivities were coming to an end, and everyone was getting busy again.The Lovehart family was no exception.This morning, Katie went out a few minutes late and complained about Aquilo as usual. However, Luna carefully stood up for Aquilo and caused a family dispute.“Luna, stop standing up for him just to win his favor! I’ve been arguing with my brother for years. You don’t have to judge me.”She could not take it anymore. This was the first time she did not consider Luna’s feelings by snapping at her in front of the entire family.Janet glanced coldly at Luna and then at Notus. Notus frowned impatiently and got up to go upstairs.How could Luna let him go so easily?She said aggrievedly, “Katie, what did you just say to me? Are you trying to twist my intentions? If this family doesn’t want me, I can leave. I won’t come back ever again!”As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to walk toward the door.Notus stopped in his tracks and looked at
“Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Lily. My sister is Ruth, and my mother is Reina. My grandfather is George Lockton. I heard that my father is Notus, so I came to take a look!”Aunt Wang was dumbfounded. She was trapped between Lily’s sweet smile from the front and a knife-like gaze from the back.She seriously regretted hurrying over to open the door.Seeing that the person in front of her was not moving, Lily walked around her and stepped into the house.Her gaze swept across the people in the room and landed on Notus’s familiar face. “You’re Notus Lovehart?”Notus’s eyes flickered as he recognized her.Wasn’t this the girl with the plate who had rushed out of the cafe yesterday to stand up for Ruth?At the thought of the bloody knife and the paternity test last night, something gradually dawned on him. So, that was it!Looking at Lily again, he stared at her face carefully and was momentarily dazed…“You’re the wife my father was forced to marry?” Lily’s gaze landed
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you don’t like me, I’ll just leave. There’s really no need to bring an outsider to disgust me!” Luna stubbornly replied. She tried to shift the blame and imply that Katie and Lily were in cahoots.Lily replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll leave sooner or later. There’s no harm in waiting a few more minutes.”Luna was speechless.Janet and her daughter’s silent support only fueled Lily’s arrogance. Aquilo was caught in the middle and held back his temper.Meanwhile, Notus stared blankly at Lily, lost in thought.Two minutes later, the Lovehart family was sitting in a row on the long sofa. Luna was standing next to them, looking flustered.Lily took out the documents from her bag and handed them to everyone. “This is the report on the paternity test I did yesterday. The samples belong to you and me, Mr. Notus. You can take a look!”“Where did you get the sample?! Who knows if your report is true!” Luna cut in sharply.Lily shrugge
Lily turned her wrist and easily avoided his large hand. She stared at him coldly. It was as though she was a completely different person from the obedient and cute girl moments ago.Notus froze when he met her eyes. Through Lily’s eyes, he seemed to see another figure.The last time he saw Reina. The way she looked at him was filled with disappointment and coldness.“Reina—”“My name is Lily.” Lily’s eyes flickered. “Mr. Notus, you can either give me an explanation in front of the entire family now, or we can go to the hospital and do a paternity test in person.”After a pause, she glanced at the dumbfounded Luna beside her. “Bring Luna along. Today, it’s either of us, or none at all.”Lily’s call went through, and Ruth’s voice came from the other end. “What’s wrong?”Lily put the phone to her ear. “The Lovehart family suspects the authenticity of the report. We’re going to the Imperial City First Hospital for a new test.”There was a pause on the other end. “Okay, I’ll make t
Luna’s face turned pale, and she hid pitifully behind Aquilo.She really did not know what to do when faced with such a tough decision.After a few seconds of silence, she could only take a gamble. “Alright, Miss Janet and Katie probably suspect my identity, so they’ve always looked down on me. Let’s confirm it again!”After a pause, she added, “A marriage alliance with the Blakewell family isn’t comparable to mistaking one’s own family members!” Luna’s restrained and sensible appearance could compel one to take pity on her. It was almost as if the world owed her something.Aquilo immediately declared that he would only acknowledge Luna as his sister. He also mentioned that they got along so well and that she must be their father’s true daughter. He warned everyone once more against being misled by malicious individuals.Lily sighed with exaggerated emotion. It was a miracle that her greedy sc*mbag father could give birth to such a loyal son. Of course, to be honest, she did n
Notus’s eyes lit up.He did not think there was anything wrong with Lily’s words.Notus’s children had to have the ambition to fight for it. After all, he had wanted to find his daughter so that he could find a more suitable heir for the Lovehart family.Most importantly, she said, she would still want Aquilo’s father… Did that mean that she wanted to acknowledge him?Notus was a little excited, but his face remained composed on the surface. He pretended to rebuke her, “Alright, why are you stooping to the level of a little girl? You, too, stop teasing your brother.”Aquilo was speechless, and so was Lily.Could he be a bit more normal? Why did he suddenly use such an indulgent tone? How disgusting!She rolled her eyes and looked at Notus. “Just tell me if you’re going to give it to me or not.”Notus smiled and said gently, “Of course, it’s just a room, isn’t it? My daughter deserves the best in the world!”Luna, Notus’s “daughter,” was left puzzled.Lily and Notus went to th
After breakfast, Ruth was still worried about Lily and decided to go to the Lovehart family to find out about her situation.Just as she was about to set off, she received a call from Dulcie.......The morning sun was shining brightly through the bare branches and into the car. It was dazzling, but there was no warmth. The person in the front passenger seat turned to look out of the window. Her gaze was distant and absent-minded.The back of her hand felt warm. Ruth subconsciously turned around and met a pair of deep and warm black eyes.Abel asked in a low voice, “What are you worried about?”Ruth shook her head and sounded a little melancholic. “I’m not worried. It’s just that when I went abroad, I had a disagreement with my teacher. I haven’t thought of how to approach him yet.”That was why she did not ask the Rivas family for help when she secretly investigated the Rivas member who was secretly backing Luna. It was not out of spite, but that she was not mentally prepared y
