Chapter 81

The sound that Anathea made broke through the silent room. Isabel asked concernedly, "What's wrong, Anathea?" Anathea tried putting a hand over her mouth and apologized to Brisa, "I might've eaten something wrong…" Before she could finish, another wave of nausea hit her, causing her to stand up immediately and rush into the toilet. Everyone watched her go with differing expressions. Brisa was overjoyed. She held Isabel and conjectured, "I'd just talked about getting a granddaughter. My dream didn't come true just like that, did it?" Isabel also looked stunned.If Anathea got pregnant, perhaps that meddling woman wouldn't come between her and Gregory again!Holden seemed entirely calm. Eleanor was the center of his attention. On the other hand, Eleanor frowned. She looked a little green, and so did Theo. If she got pregnant, the divorce probably wouldn't go through. The sound of Anathea's retching echoed through the washroom as she vomited up everything she'd eaten.

Chapter 82

In hindsight, Theo probably thought that Anathea wouldn't capture Gregory's fancy even if she got to know him. He only helped her in anticipation of a good show. In the past, she was very thankful for him. He helped in improving their relationship from that of strangers to acquaintances. However, when she got married to Gregory five years ago, Theo's attitude changed completely. He seemed to loathe her, frequently stirring up trouble. Even though Gregory knew of his behavior, he said nothing. His silence was an implicit consent for Theo to continue attacking Anathea. Because she loved Gregory, she smiled and let it slide. She didn't hold a grudge. After all, she wanted to keep up a good relationship as far as that was possible. However, Theo wouldn't give her a chance. He was dismissive and cold. Anathea had some pride at the end of the day, so she stopped sucking up to him. Ever since Natalie came home from overseas, Theo stopped paying her any mind. He spent all his days wi

Chapter 83

Theo hadn't expected Anathea to react like that. The Anathea he knew would reply righteously, "Mr. Harrington, I love Gregory. Please do not humiliate me like that!" When she professed her love, her eyes would be sparkling with her love for him, as though no man could ever compare. This was why Theo looked down on Anathea. She loved Gregory to the point where she no longer had any semblance of free thought. How lowly! Yet, Anathea's expression was extremely calm, like the smooth surface of an undisturbed lake. She asked, "Mr. Harrington, how much are we talking?" As she spoke, her eyes seemed dead and cold, as though they were discussing funding for a project, and not her marriage to Gregory. This huge difference caught Theo in surprise. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you changing your tactics because clinging on to Greg shamelessly didn't work?" Anathea said nothing. After all, even if she said no, Theo wouldn't believe her. He'd think she was just lying t

Chapter 84

Theo was into Anathea? No way! "If not, why are you so insistent on having her divorce Gregory?" Dylan joked, "I thought you wanted to take his place." "Absolutely not," said Theo immediately. "I just don't want Greg to continue getting involved with her! Also, now you know Greg's married her, aren't you pissed? Her dad made you like this. How could I let her off the hook so easily?" "That's enough, Theo," Adrian interjected. He continued, "You've already stated that it was her dad, Adam, who did it. Why do you have to blame it on others? You and Greg are too caught up in this." However, he could understand. Those who survived were the ones who suffered the most. "Making a woman's life hard is not behavior befitting a man." "I-I…" stuttered Theo. He shot back, "I didn't!"He was the one who'd given Anathea the ten million. It wasn't like he'd forced her into it. How had he made her life hard? Adrian smiled and said nothing. …When Anathea arrived in the spa room, Bris

Chapter 85

When Anathea still remained unmoving, Martin called out again, "Mrs. Sinclair, it's cold outside. Please get in the car."Only then did Anathea come back to her senses. She headed for the back of the car and opened the door.Usually, she would drive herself, so she rarely sat in Gregory's car.It was so rare that she couldn't even remember the last time she had been in his car. All she could recall was that the back seat featured a classic black night-sky headliner with stars. It fit his cold and aloof demeanor well.However, upon opening the door and entering the car this time, she realized the interior had changed. It was no longer black, and the starry sky had been replaced with blue roses.Anathea paused briefly.The blue roses were incredibly similar to the attire Natalie had worn to Eleanor's birthday party.Natalie's favorite color was also blue.Anathea inadvertently caught sight of a light blue bag, the contents of which were some cosmetics from luxury brands. Since

Now that there was a successful case, it greatly boosted their confidence in the drug!"That's wonderful!" Anathea grabbed Fiona's hand, her eyes shimmering with tears of joy. "Mom, did you hear that?"This meant that Fiona's surgery was sure to be a success as well!At this thought, Anathea couldn't stop the tears from spilling down her cheeks."Silly girl, why are you crying?" Fiona reached out to wipe the tears clinging to Anathea's lashes, even as her own eyes became red-rimmed. "You've had it tough recently. It's all my fault for being such a burden to you…"If it weren't for her illness, perhaps Anathea could have had an easier life the past few years."Mom, don't say that." Anathea hugged Fiona tightly. "You're not a burden."Her mother wasn't a burden but a safe harbor for her wounded soul to return to.With a successful case as a precedent, she could already see hope for Fiona's recovery. Her heart pounded rapidly. It had been a long time since she had been this happy.

"I'm not pregnant," Anathea said calmly."Are you a doctor? How are you so certain?" Gregory clearly didn't believe her. He would only trust the truth written in black and white. In other words, a test result.To be more precise, he didn't trust her.Anathea didn't answer his questions, instead retorting, "If I really were pregnant, what would you do?"Gregory fell silent.After all, having another baby was not within his plans, especially since he already had an heir.Besides that…Gregory glanced at Anathea, noting how thin and frail she was. She looked like she would break with the slightest gust of wind. Her face was sickly pale, and even her lips were almost colorless.Gregory's thin lips pursed into a line.When Anathea received no response from him, she scoffed in her mind.They were about to divorce, so it was only natural he wouldn't wish she were pregnant, worried she would use the child to continue tying them together.Besides, he and Natalie were clearly in love

Chapter 88

Thunder boomed as dark clouds gathered in the sky.The Rolls-Royce steadily drove into the parking garage.Cyrus immediately came forward to welcome Gregory home. "Mr. Sinclair."Gregory nodded at him, extending his long legs to get out of the car.After a few seconds of hesitation, Martin plucked up the courage to ask, "Mr. Sinclair, are we really leaving Mrs. Sinclair there? It looks like it's about to rain, and the weather forecast says that tonight's temperatures will be quite low…"Gregory thought back to the thin dress Anathea had been wearing, but his expression remained unchanged. "She can call a taxi."He refused to believe that Anathea didn't know how to call for a taxi. She was, after all, an adult.With that thought, he ignored Martin and took off his coat before tossing it at Cyrus. After that, he headed straight upstairs."Dad!" The instant Xander spotted Gregory, he rushed over and asked in confusion, "Why is Ms. Whitman's room empty?"Here he had been thinking

Chapter 89

Anathea was drenched through, every raindrop feeling like an icy needle pricking against her skin. Her footsteps gradually slowed as her feet felt more and more like lead.The rain continued to grow heavier.Eventually, her vision began to blur.The next second, there was a loud screeching of tires as someone braked. A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Anathea.The car window rolled down before Gregory's face appeared.He had already changed out of his stiff and proper suit and was now dressed in loungewear. Despite that, there was no hiding his innate noble air. On the contrary, the casual attire only added to his charm.In comparison, the drenched Anathea appeared to be in a real sorry state. Even so, her back remained straight, and she retained her usual poise.The Jacobson family's teachings had ingrained in her the need to always maintain her composure. No matter where or in what situation, she could never easily show her unease or humiliation.Even when she was shiver

Chapter 90

Gregory was growing softer when it came to Anathea.This wasn't a good thing!And Theo himself had earlier almost done the same.Upon realizing this, Theo smacked the steering wheel in anger before starting the engine. Stomping down on the accelerator, he sped off, spraying water everywhere.…At the Sinclair residence, Gregory parked the car before saying emotionlessly, "We're here. Get out."However, he received no response.Displeased, he turned to look, only to see that Anathea's eyes were tightly shut."Anathea?" Gregory called out.Still no reply.It was then he noticed Anathea's shallow breathing and the unnatural flush to her previously pale face.Expression turning grim, Gregory reached out a hand to touch her forehead. It was burning hot!"Anathea!" Gregory immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and circled the car to pick her up. Then, he strode quickly into the living room."What's going on?" Cyrus and Jenny came over to see what the commotion was about."Anathea
