All Chapters of Become a mother in one night: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

When Alex Ye heard that Michelle was heading to the gym, he initially thought he had misheard.He asked, "Where did she go?"Nora replied, "The gym."Alex was at a loss for words. Why on earth would Michelle go to the gym? Was she going with Brandon?Of course, he wouldn't pose these questions to Nora, and certainly not to Michelle. He could only keep his thoughts to himself.Since Michelle was planning to hit the gym, she'd left a message for Alex to come home early.Michelle texted: "Mr. Ye, come home early to spend time with Lizzy."Alex was already aware of Michelle's new fitness regimen since Nora had informed him the previous night. But he decided to feign ignorance.Alex replied: "Are you not going to be home?"Michelle: "Yes, starting today, I'll be at the gym every night at 8."Alex: "?"Michelle: "So, I'd appreciate if Mr. Ye could spend the evening with Lizzy. Just watch some cartoons with her."Clearly, Alex's question mark was asking why she was heading to the gym. But M

Michelle wasn't sure if it was Lizzy's innocent remark that had gotten to her, but she felt that Alex Ye had been... particularly attentive towards her lately.For instance, in the mornings when Alex would drop the kids off at kindergarten, he would casually ask if she wanted to join them. He'd also inquire if she was heading to the gym and at what time. Alex even mentioned knowing a very reliable personal trainer, asking if she would like an introduction.Michelle politely declined, "My current trainer is quite good."Alex responded with equal tact, "The trainer I mentioned is quite experienced."Understanding dawned on Michelle. "Ah, a female trainer. I see."It was well known that gyms could be breeding grounds for flings and affairs.Lifting her eyes to meet Alex's gaze, she admired his refined and handsome features. His gentle and compassionate eyes evoked a protective fondness in her. Offering a perfect, graceful smile, Michelle's voice was soft and gentle as she reassured, "Yes

That night, Michelle Xia had a dream.In her dream, she recalled the day she had taken a feverish Lizzy Xia to the Ye residence, seeking assistance. The Ye family had provided her with a significant sum of money, and she had left, with her child remaining behind. At the Ye residence, Lizzy grew up surrounded by warmth and affection, mainly from Alex Ye, Sebastian Ye, and Eleanor Ye. It was almost a carefree environment.As time passed and Lizzy grew older, Alex Ye entered into a marriage alliance with a prominent heiress from Rivenhold. This heiress was aware of Alex's child, Lizzy, and was accepting of her presence. In fact, she was quite fond of Lizzy, admiring her adorable features. However, Lizzy struggled to accept this stranger as her new "mother". The arrival of this unfamiliar figure made young Lizzy anxious and sensitive. She became prone to crying and showing temper tantrums.Haunted by memories of her mother leaving her behind, Lizzy began doubting the Ye family's intention

Originally, ScribeSphere wasn't known by that name. Eleanor Ye had purchased the website and subsequently renamed it "ScribeSphere." By then, she had stepped away from the entertainment industry, passing her position to Alex Ye, essentially having him work for her. She relaxed at home, sipping tea and waiting for her dividends, relying on the shares she held.Eleanor's acquisition of ScribeSphere was mainly out of boredom, looking to foster her reading interest and find something to keep her occupied. She bought a struggling novel website, pumped money into it to revitalize it, and then handed the responsibility to Alex, making him work for her yet again.Eleanor held a significantly larger stake in ScribeSphere than Alex. However, she wasn't overly involved. Though she wasn't entirely detached, the troublesome and vital matters were handled by Alex.Seeing Michelle Xia's contract, Alex realized that Eleanor was well aware of the situation, possibly even hinting something to him.Alex

Michelle Xia stared at the text displayed in the small browser window and silently closed it.She had already given Lulu, her editor, a heads up, but Lulu neither replied to her messages nor accepted her application. Instead, she outright rejected it.Michelle Xia sighed internally, wondering aloud, "Is this person out of their mind?"Michelle didn't need to share the news of the rejected application because Alyssa had already heard about it from Damien and Cola. If Alyssa had initially helped Michelle out of a genuine desire not to let Michelle's talent go to waste, now it was more out of disdain for Lulu. Alyssa was prepared to confront Lulu head-on. When Brandon Su disappeared without updating his work, Lulu had ridiculed Alyssa, even resorting to personal attacks. All the inside stories about Brandon Su were well-known within the editorial department. When Brandon dated a few internet celebrities, the nasty comments Lulu made about him had been hard to stomach.Alyssa had never h
