Jennifer was left speechless. She did let anger cloud her judgment. She cherished the child growing in her belly. How could she bear to harm them?

Moreover, she couldn't possibly skip her father's funeral. So, she had no choice but to agree, "Fine, I promise you. I agree with whatever you say! Besides, you already have someone watching over me. Even if I wanted to harm this child, someone would report to you, wouldn't they?"

Maxwell finally let it rest. He knew Jennifer was hurt by her father's sudden passing and didn't want to coerce her. But the thought of her wanting to leave with their child left him no other choice.

Even if Jennifer hated or resented him, Maxwell didn't mind as long as she was still by his side.

Jennifer was there when Zion was brought to his grave. Agnes cried uncontrollably while Jennifer remained very quiet. She didn't shed a tear and stared blankly ahead with a tired gaze.

Maxwell sat beside her, holding her close. "If you want to cry, just cry. It's n

    Jennifer tensed and turned to Maxwell. "What do you mean by that?"Only then did Maxwell realize his mistake. He quickly added, "What I meant was, your father loves you. He would want you to live a good life."Jennifer was too deep in her despair to ponder his words.Maxwell feared she would overthink and decided to put her to bed. He switched off the lights and tucked her in. "Get some sleep. I'll be here."Maxwell had been rooted by her side recently. He knew she didn't like him near her. So, he slept on the couch. It was the same tonight.Jennifer had to admit that she felt safer with him around, and she could get some sleep in. That night, Jennifer had a weird dream. She dreamt of her mother, father, and Robert smiling kindly at her.Her mother was reminding Jennifer to study well and fulfill her dreams. Her father was asking her to live a happy and carefree life. And Robert was reminding her to live happily with Maxwell.It was the best dream she'd ever had. It felt lik

    "Alright, let's go get some food." Maxwell pulled Jennifer downstairs.Martha had prepared breakfast. Seeing Jennifer in a better state, she quickly served her a plate of food. Maxwell instructed Martha, "Jennifer is pregnant. Lay down mats on the stairs to prevent her from slipping. Also, find a designer to design a children's room.""Yes, I'll get it done now." Martha smiled and agreed.She was grinning from ear to ear seeing how well Maxwell was treating Jennifer. Yet Jennifer remained unfazed.After breakfast, Maxwell took her to work. But the two bothersome bodyguards were still shadowing her. Jennifer stopped and whined, "Can you tell them off? I feel like a prisoner."Maxwell hesitated but didn't agree. "I'll have them stationed further away. Don't worry, they won't interfere with your work."Although Jennifer was annoyed, she was helpless against it since she failed to sway Maxwell's decision.So, Maxwell took Jennifer to work while the two bodyguards trailed after h

    Didn't Maxwell and Jennifer get a divorce? How could Jennifer be pregnant? Nathan's mind raced with questions. His usually calm self was now in a mess.Maxwell anticipated Nathan's reaction and mocked, "Are you still listening, Dr. Lowe?"Nathan's expression darkened. "Where are you? I'll head over now. Didn't you want to talk? Let's talk."Maxwell snickered sarcastically. "Didn't you say you were busy? What's with the change of heart?"Even so, Maxwell still agreed to meet up with Nathan. There were some words better spoken physically, after all.…Half an hour later, Nathan arrived at Haven City's bridge as promised. Maxwell was not far behind.They both stood by the bridge, catching attention from onlookers. But the air around them was tense, stirring everyone away.Maxwell sneered and started, "You're young, Dr. Lowe. I heard you have quite a few pursuers. So, why are you going after a married woman?"Nathan was furious. "She isn't your wife anymore! The law says so too.

    Jennifer didn't feel the joy of being picked up by Maxwell. Instead, she felt exhausted from living under constant surveillance. After getting into the car, she was startled to see the bruises on Maxwell's cheeks.She quickly asked, "What happened to your face?""Nothing, I just got into a fight," Maxwell said nonchalantly.Jennifer looked at him in disbelief. "Why are you getting into fights at your age?"Besides, with Maxwell's status, who would dare fight him? And even if there was a fight, why would he get involved personally?Noticing her confusion, Maxwell decided not to hide the truth. "I fought with Nathan."Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. "You... What did you say?"She was in disbelief. "You fought with Dr. Lowe? He… He did this to you?"She couldn't believe that the usually gentle and elegant Nathan would resort to violence.Maxwell sneered and warned, "Jennifer, you better be worrying about me and not Nathan."Jennifer fumed. "Why should I worry about you? Dr. Lo

    Maxwell's frown deepened. How could he tell Jennifer that he wasn't going to accompany Rachel? Besides, he truly had no desire to see Rachel now.He suddenly noticed Jennifer's mocking gaze fixed on him. That look, full of contempt and disdain, pierced Maxwell's heart.He abruptly grabbed the phone. "Wait for me. I'm coming over now."After hanging up, he tossed the phone aside. "Are you satisfied now?"Jennifer's gaze darkened and she didn't feel anything. After all, she had been disappointed too many times and was used to Maxwell leaving her for Rachel. Jennifer said coldly, "Go to her. I can go home by myself."Maxwell ignored her and drove home. On the way, he calmed down and said quietly, "I'm going to see Rachel to settle things and give her some compensation. After today, I won't see her again. I promise."Jennifer was taken aback and looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by that? She couldn't help but ask, "You said Rachel was carrying your child and that you would

    Rachel froze at Maxwell's words. She asked in disbelief, "What do you mean… We won't meet again? Our child is about to be born. As their father, don't you want to witness their birth and be there as they grow up?"But Maxwell's next words crushed her completely. "Jennifer is also pregnant. The child she is carrying is the only Lance family heir my grandfather recognized and accepted."Rachel couldn't believe her ears. "What… What did you just say?"How could this be possible? They had already divorced. How could Jennifer be pregnant?Rachel trembled. "You two are divorced. You can't possibly know who she interacts with during her working hours. How can you be sure that this child is yours? She didn't conceive during the time you were married, so how could she be pregnant now that you're divorced?""Rachel!" Maxwell sternly reprimanded her. "Watch your words. I will not allow you to slander her. I know Jennifer well enough to be certain that the child is mine."Rachel felt her wor

    Even after crying her eyes out, Rachel still couldn't change Maxwell's mind. She never thought Maxwell had planned her future for her. Yet he was also not part of it. He had removed himself completely from her life, not wanting to have anything to do with her."I'm leaving. Take care." With that, Maxwell left Rachel's home.Rachel immediately tried to chase after him, but her condition made it difficult, and she couldn't catch up. In her desperation, she shouted toward the closed elevator door, "Maxwell, come back!"Unfortunately, her only response was the deafening silence. Rachel trembled with anger, gritting her teeth as she muttered, "Jennifer, you bitch! You always want what I want! You want to take everything from me! I will never let you off!"…Maxwell returned to the quiet villa.Martha heard the noise and greeted him. "Mr. Lance, have you had dinner? Shall I make you supper?""I'm not hungry." Maxwell glanced upstairs. "How was her appetite tonight?"Martha sighed and

    Jennifer trembled in Maxwell's embrace and choked out, "My baby has a home now. I was so scared, thinking my baby would be without a father. I was prepared to be a single mom."Maxwell felt both heartache and anger. He cupped her face, making her look into his eyes, and said seriously, "You should have told me about this when you found out, instead of keeping it all to yourself. You'll only hurt yourself that way, understand?"Jennifer complained sadly, "You didn't believe me at first. You thought I reported to Grandpa and hurt Rachel's baby. What if I had told you back then and you didn't accept my child?"Regret and guilt washed over Maxwell. He held Jennifer close and gently patted her back. "Alright, it's all my fault. Let's not bring up the past, okay? From now on, Rachel will be out of the picture. Our lives will only consist of us and our baby."Jennifer smiled as she realized her love for him hadn't faded at all. Previously, due to Rachel, she had never dared to take this s

    After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

    Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

    It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

    Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

    Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

    Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

    A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

    As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

    Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
