At that moment, Jennifer felt an overwhelming sense of contentment and bliss. Her husband was a man who exuded a commanding presence, yet he treated her with such tenderness.Jennifer gazed at Maxwell, her beautiful eyes sparkling with warmth and affection. "Maxwell, shall we get married tomorrow?" Her gaze was unwavering as she uttered each word, "I've thought it through. I love you, and I want to give our baby a home."I used to be so weak and hesitant. Thank you for easing all my doubts."In the next second, Maxwell gripped her chin and kissed her passionately. Jennifer was momentarily stunned. But in no time, she tiptoed to meet his lips. Not far away from them, a pair of resentful, sinister eyes watched the scene unfold. Rachel's hatred was so intense that it felt like daggers were about to shoot from her eyes.If looks could kill, Jennifer would have been dead countless times. Rachel clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails dug into her palms. From the moment
Jennifer cast a coy look at Maxwell and said, "Really? Well, Mr. Lance, could you drive me around for the rest of my life?"Maxwell gazed at his pure, alluring wife in his embrace. He could not help but lean down to kiss her. "You're the only person I'll drive around," he replied seductively.Jennifer finally caught onto his flirty tone. In an instant, her face turned as red as a tomato. Then, Maxwell let out a soft sigh as he uttered, "Jennifer, please give birth soon. It's been too long since we were intimate."Jennifer's heart skipped a beat, feeling shy. Yet, at the same time, a hint of guilt hit her.After all, at Maxwell's age and with his vitality, it must have been genuinely difficult for him to endure this long.Jennifer hesitated momentarily before awkwardly asking, "Is it hard for you to endure it?""What do you think?" Maxwell's deep gaze was filled with desire, his voice becoming hoarse too. "I have a beautiful woman by my side. Yet, I can't do anything but look
However, Nathan simply glanced at her with disappointment. Without uttering a single word, he walked past her and left the office.As Jennifer stared at his retreating figure, she felt an immense sadness welled up inside her. Perhaps, no mentor would favor a student like her, one who got married and pregnant while still in school. Jennifer shook her head in dismay, reminding herself not to overthink it. She would not let marriage or having a baby hinder her education. She was determined to work hard and prove to Nathan that she could juggle everything. Thinking about needing to finish work before noon, Jennifer immediately dove into her tasks. She hurried to finish them to avoid any delay in getting their marriage certificate.This also made her recall the first time she and Maxwell had gotten their marriage certificate. Back then, she was overwhelmed with excitement. But simultaneously, she felt a profound sense of unease. This time, her excitement was no less than the first
Jocelyn put on a sorrowful expression and pulled her daughter away, saying, "Bridget, please, this is your father's memorial. Don't make a scene here."Jennifer looked at the mother and daughter in disbelief. "When did you two come back?""Does this have anything to do with you?" Bridget stared provocatively at her. "Grandma asked us to stay. "Back then, you deceived Dad, which is why he kicked us out. Now what? You wish we'd never come back, huh?"Jennifer could not shake the feeling that the return of Bridget and Jocelyn was highly suspicious. Besides, they resembled two venomous snakes. All they wanted was to use Agnes. How could there be any sincerity in that?Thus, Jennifer told Agnes, "I know you dislike me. But I must speak my mind. Dad is gone, and I believe he would want you to live your days in peace. "If you keep them by your side, they'll only bring trouble to the Yale family. Don't forget why Dad sent them away in the first place. They faked a miscarriage and fra
If Jennifer wasn't Zion's daughter, then whose child was she? Where on earth had she come from? A wave of despair and confusion washed over her. Jennifer held Agnes' hand, pleading, "Please, tell me what's going on. It has been so many years, but why has no one ever told me this? Just tell me, please!"Unfortunately, Agnes harbored no affection for her and shoved her aside. Her eyes were icy as she enunciated each word deliberately, "I told you, I won't say a word."That's enough. You should leave. Don't ever step into the Yale residence again! You're not welcome here!"As soon as she finished speaking, Jocelyn immediately ordered the bodyguards, "What are you standing around for? Throw her out! Don't ever let her in again."…Meanwhile, Maxwell had been waiting at the hospital entrance for Jennifer for quite some time. He tried calling her numerous times, but no one answered.With each passing moment, Maxwell grew increasingly anxious. He got out of the car and rushed to Jen
Why had Zion treated Jennifer so well for over 20 years? He treated her better than Bridget. Countless questions and doubts twisted in her mind like threads in a tangled web, pushing her to the edge of despair.After a long while, the bedroom door was gently pushed open. Maxwell then walked in slowly. He gazed at Jennifer sitting motionlessly on the bed and felt a sharp pang shoot through his heart. After that, he approached her before pulling her into his embrace.Jennifer nestled quietly in his arms, eagerly absorbing his warmth. Maxwell looked down at the woman in his embrace with concern, softly asking, "Can you tell me what happened today?"Your colleague mentioned you left early this morning. Where did you go?"Jennifer felt like she had found a haven she could rely on. She decided not to keep anything from him and tearfully replied, "I'm not my parents' biological daughter. I'm not part of the Yales."Maxwell was momentarily stunned, unable to grasp it immediately. He a
Even though the thorn in Jennifer's heart had taken root, she forced herself to ignore this matter. She mustered a weak smile and said, "Maxwell, it's good to have you here.""Really?" Maxwell kissed her forehead and gently uttered, "I'm sorry I forgot about your father's memorial today. We'll visit his grave tomorrow. As for the wedding, let's wait until you feel better, okay?"Jennifer's eyes filled with gratitude as she gazed at him. After all, he had always put her needs first.Maxwell saw the tears glistening in her eyes and smiled affectionately. "You silly girl. Don't overthink things by yourself. Just let me know if anything's wrong, and we'll handle it together.""I'm sorry. We were supposed to get our marriage certificate today, but I stood you up again," Jennifer apologized.Maxwell wrapped his arms around her, his tone somewhat suggestive as he replied, "You're right here with me. Do you think I'm worried you'll run away?"And just like that, with his reassurance, Jen
Consumed by fury, Agnes roared, "T-This can't be true! You're as wicked as Jennifer! One day, you'll face your retribution!"Maxwell's expression turned icy as he listened to her bitter curses. "Tear up those photos all you like. I've got hundreds, even thousands more. "If you want to protect the Yales' reputation and prevent everyone from seeing your granddaughter and daughter-in-law's humiliation, you'd better leave Jennifer alone. Otherwise, you'll regret it."Having said his piece, he strode away.Before long, Agnes' frantic shouting came from the house behind Maxwell. "Jocelyn! Bridget! Come out! What is this all about?"Maxwell's lips curled into a frosty smile. Since Agnes wanted to make life hard for Jennifer, he could easily make sure they suffered just as much.Meanwhile, Agnes' yelling in the living room caught Jocelyn's and Bridget's attention. They hurried downstairs, putting on a show of filial piety. "Grandma, what's wrong?" Bridget asked, "Are you thinking abou
