After dinner, Russell and his friends were left behind.Layne was taken for a bath by Marlene and Aubrie, Alonso and Braylen went to the study, and Carolyn returned to the apartment.Russell and Zoey enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.They were walking by the lake, and the streetlights emitted a soft glow, shining on the lush grass, creating an extra cozy atmosphere.Russell suddenly stood face to face with her.Zoey suddenly startled, "What's wrong?"Russell knelt down on one knee and took out a small blue velvet box from his pocket.Opened, inside was a sunflower-shaped diamond ring.The sunflower symbolizes loyalty and admiration. This diamond ring is made up of a two-carat main diamond and twelve small diamonds surrounding it, giving it a delicate and playful feeling, which is perfect for Zoey.Russell looked at her affectionately and said, "At that time, I thought you had passed away, but I promised you the wedding photos, the engagement ring, the custom-made wedding dress, an
Zoey lazily opened her eyes and saw the frosted glass in the bathroom reflecting the hazy silhouette of a man.She turned over weakly and closed her eyes, feeling tired.In no time, the sound of water in the bathroom abruptly ceased, and the man, wearing a bathrobe, walked out. He threw the towel for drying his hair onto the bedside table.Kneeling on the bed, both knees rubbed against Zoey's side.Looking at the woman with her back turned to him, he lowered his head and kissed the hair she had dried for her. "Are you asleep?"Zoey did not answer his words.Russell lay behind her, his hand slipping under the blanket and tracing up her smooth leg.Zoey held the man's hand and said, "Stop it, I was so tired."Russell kissed her cheek and said, "It's only a little past ten, and you're already saying you're tired."Zoey suddenly opened her eyes and turned to him, "We didn't use it just now, what if I got pregnant?""I didn't touch it inside."Zoey glared at him and pursed her lips. "Russe
Carolyn's mouth twitched when she heard the words.Carsen didn't think much about it, he nodded and said, "Sure, it's lively to have a big group for dinner."Carolyn was picking at the package strap, she was absolutely infuriated.A good date between the two turned into a dinner gathering of three.Carsen drove, Carolyn got into the passenger seat, and Angelo sat in the back seat with a bucket of fried chicken, not only feeling cramped with his long legs, but also feeling frustrated in his heart.Throughout the journey, Angelo was chatting with Carsen about the experiment project.Because Carolyn did not participate in this project, she had less opportunity to contribute.Carolyn had been secretly glancing at Carsen, being very cautious.She had heard before that the Keller family was very beautiful.The Keller family's good looks were famously high.At that time, she admired Carsen very much. However, the Keller family was not developing in the country. She first met him at a debate
Carsen looked up and saw Carolyn pretending to be calm while taking photos of her drink."You kids used to really like taking pictures and posting them on social media."Carolyn forced a smile and took advantage of the situation, "Yeah, I'll post a status to let everyone know that the food at this restaurant was quite authentic."Carsen laughed and said, "Three years is a generation gap, and we already have two generation gaps between us."No, you were just focused on academics, neglecting these things. It's okay, you can learn more in the future, there is no generation gap.Carolyn didn't like it when Carsen treated her like a child, which indicated that he wouldn't consider her in his future choice of a partner.Carsen smiled and said, "Then I will learn more."Angelo noticed that Carsen had been in a good mood these past few days. Previously, he had been serious every day. Angelo asked, "Mr. Keller, you seem to be in a good mood these days. Is there something good happening?"Think
Carsen and Carolyn had just arrived at the laboratory, and many classmates casted strange glances at them.Carolyn touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"Adam handed over the phone and said, "There were news online about you and Mr. Keller."Carolyn took a look and furrowed her brows.Carsen stood by her side and naturally saw the photos and news.His thin lips pursed lightly, and a gloomy expression appeared on his usually gentle face."Unrealistic matters, just clarify."Adam laughed and said, "Exactly, these journalists always make something out of nothing. They will do anything to attract traffic and attention."The classmates on the side echoed, "They are all keyboard warriors, irresponsibly talking nonsense. Carolyn, don't be angry, we all know that you are related to Mr. Keller, how could there be any problem?""We have been watching all these years! Mr. Keller treated you as a junior!""Yeah, the Keller family and the Maddox family really cared about repu
As soon as the little one finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Layne looked at them, with a pouty face, "My dad only loved one woman in his life, and that's my mom! My mom's name is Zoey!"Zoey?The crowd was very puzzled."Zoey was pregnant at that time and died, how could this child be Zoey's?""Did Mr. Russell take us all for fools?""Is this how you explained it to Volkswagen and Zoey?""We used to believe in love because of you and Zoey, but we never expected it to eventually fall apart!""Since you said the child was born by Zoey, where is Zoey then?""Yeah, where was the person?"***Russell laughed and said, "Zoey is right here."Everyone started searching everywhere, but Zoey's figure was nowhere to be found.Jaelyn chuckled and put her arm around Zoey's shoulder, "Let me introduce you all to my biological daughter, Zoey!"The crowd. “..."Tabitha nodded, "My granddaughter Zoey!"Royce cleared his throat, "Our Zoey, Zoey!"Marlene walked to the other side of Zoey and took
The car parked in front of Hines Hall, and Roland, with his purple hair, stood there with a cigarette in his mouth, looking nonchalant.Zoey didn't wait for Russell to open the door for her, she just pushed the door and got out of the car.Her lips curled up with a smile as she greeted the man, "Roland!"Roland looked at the woman with a cool and aloof gaze, as if she were a stranger.Zoey walked up the stairs and approached him, raising an eyebrow. "Don't you recognize me?"Roland took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring into the air, his voice mocking, "Who are you? I don't know you!"Zoey glanced at the cigarette held between his fingertips and reached out to embrace him with both hands.Roland quickly moved his hand away from the cigarettes, his voice choked, "As a married woman, how could you casually hug and embrace other men? What kind of decorum is this?""Roland! Long time no see!"Roland suddenly welled up with tears, "I really didn't know you!""You let me hug you without e
Carolyn wiped away her bitter tears, then freshened up, put on makeup, and changed into a white lace dress that reached down to her ankles.She looked at herself in the full-length mirror, turning left and right, and muttered to herself, "Am I a bit more mature this time?"Carolyn had a doll-like face, looking sweet and adorable, always appearing to be eighteen years old."Ah, it was driving me crazy! It just didn't seem mature no matter how I looked at it!"She bit her lip and, feeling a bit annoyed, went back to the dressing room and chose a black, one-shoulder, slim-fitting long dress.The dark color scheme looked more mature and steady, so she quickly changed into it.She was 165 centimeters tall. Although not tall, she had a well-proportioned figure and looked very balanced.She was quite satisfied with this dress, but as she looked at herself in the mirror, she faintly felt that something was still not right.She suddenly snapped her fingers, the lipstick color was wrong.So, sh
Nancy and Dalton returned to the room, and Dalton, worried that she was angry, immediately approached and embraced her."Nancy, I beg you, please don't leave me.""That night, I really had no recollection. I had already taken precautions, worrying that something might happen, but unexpectedly, it still did.""I knew that no woman could accept the fact that her husband had an illegitimate child. I had already told my parents that I would give up the Jenkins family's wealth. They can give it to whoever they want, because I will never acknowledge this child.""Nancy, I couldn't be without you. Don't think about giving up on our relationship just because you're having difficulty getting pregnant. My child can only be born from you, I won't acknowledge Amiya's child!""Nancy..."Dalton blurted out all his inner thoughts, how could Nancy possibly remain indifferent.She gently patted the man's back, "Dalton, I didn't say I want to leave you
Nancy noticed the panic in Dalton's eyes, and then her gaze fell on Amiya's small belly."Dalton, she was pregnant with your child, right?"Dalton furrowed his brow as he tried to grasp her hand, but Nancy evaded him."Dalton, was that the time she got pregnant? You didn't do anything about it, did you?""No, Nancy, I handled it. I didn't expect her to get pregnant either," Dalton quickly explained. "Nancy, we are doing a paternity test, and the results will be out soon."Nancy closed her eyes and said, "Dalton, let me have some peace and quiet."At that moment, Amiya walked over, her hand resting on her abdomen.Amiya's pregnancy was already showing after five months, especially when she wore a fitted beige long dress, making her protruding belly even more noticeable.Nancy felt a slight stinging sensation in her eyes, but she couldn't show it in front of Amiya.She asked, "When did the result come out?"Dalton g
After leaving the Jenkins's manor, Dalton did not go home but went to a bar.He drank one cup after another, using alcohol to drown his sorrows.When Russell and Toby arrived, he was leaning against the back of the sofa, looking utterly despondent.They were all dressed in casual clothes, clearly indicating that they had rushed over from home.Russell asked, "What happened? Did Craig come back to life and Nancy doesn't want you anymore?"Toby chuckled, "Your mouth was going to kill me!"Russell clicked his tongue and said, "So, what could possibly have happened to him?"Toby raised an eyebrow, "Well, there was no other possibility."Dalton raised his hand and covered his eyes, "Amiya has returned."Russell squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that you brought the ball back, which is why you are so down?"Dalton lowered his arm and looked at the two of them. "She was five months pregnant, it should have been th
Amiya knelt and looked up at Dalton, shaking her head, her face covered in tear stains, "No! Dalton, this was your child!"Dalton coldly stated, "This is not my child! My child can only be born by Nancy!"Amiya pleaded with Chelsea, "Chelsea, I heard that Nancy couldn't conceive anymore, can you bear to see the Jenkins family become extinct?"Chelsea furrowed her brows and clenched her fists.Amiya continued, "I was the only bloodline of Dalton. I heard that Dalton adopted the child of his rival, and if this child grows up and learns about their origins, about the death of their parents and their connection to Nancy and Dalton, will she truly treat every member of the Jenkins family with sincerity?"Dalton grabbed her throat and said, "Shut up!"Eugene stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "Dalton, let go! I didn't want the Jenkins family to end up in a tragedy!"Dalton's hand exerted force, and Eugene's hand also exerted force.
This was Nancy's first month as Dalton and Nancy's daughter, and it was a day worth celebrating.Three people came to the amusement park and had fun and laughed together.Dalton looked at the multiple smiles on Nancy's face and couldn't help but curl his lips.He never believed throughout that children were a necessity in a marriage, they could be there or not.However, after Nancy became pregnant, he found himself looking forward to the child. But after Nancy had a miscarriage, he felt indifferent about not having a child.In the end, he realized that he loved Nancy, which is why he loved their children.If they didn't have children in the future, he would treat Nancy as his own child.Now they adopted Nancy and renamed her Nancy Jenkins. He treated her as his own biological daughter, as long as Nancy was happy.At first, he didn't have the feeling of being a father, but after this month of adjustment, he started to have that
Nancy looked at one portrait after another of Craig, and tears kept falling from her eyes.She held onto those paintings tightly, "Craig, I'm sorry..."If it weren't for her, Craig would have definitely found a beautiful girl, gotten married, had children, and lived a life that followed the usual routine.She was the source of all Craig's tragedies, and she was immersed in deep self-blame.Three days later, Dalton and Russell came back, unfortunately they did not bring Nacy with them.The village experienced a riot, and the villagers fled in all directions. Many people managed to escape, while others were captured by the rebels and sold to various parts of the world. They were too late to leave.It took some time to find Nancy, so they came back first.Dalton noticed Nancy's abnormality and took her for a psychological test, discovering that she had depression.After hearing about this, Zoey still recounted the matter that Nanc
Susie was not surprised to see Nancy, as Emmett had sent someone to deliver a message to her after finishing these tasks.She knew Nancy would definitely come to find her, after all, Nancy's child was gone and Craig was also dead, everything unfolded according to her plan.Originally, she also wanted Nancy to die, but later she changed her mind. The most tormenting thing for a woman is nothing but the inability to conceive again and the tragic death of a former lover.She wanted Nancy to suffer a fate worse than death!Compared to death, the living are the ones who suffered the most!Susie burst into laughter, her face twisted with a wicked and malicious expression, "Do you hate me so much?"Nancy said calmly, "I hated you because you disrupted my peaceful life. However, I must tell you that your plan did not entirely succeed."The smile on Susie's face froze in an instant, "What do you mean?"Nancy faintly curved her lips and
Your own mother?Last words?Difficult to conceive?A series of information overwhelmed Nancy, and she almost couldn't bear it and fell down. The tray in her hand also almost slipped.She closed her eyes, steadied her mind, held the tray, and held onto her last bit of dignity.Taking a deep breath, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen, placing the tray on the counter.The servant asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, didn't you bring it up?"Nancy forced a smile and said, "I just tripped on the stairs earlier and spilled some."The servant took a glance and indeed, it was true. She said, "In the future, leave this kind of rough work to us, you take good care and rest."Nancy thanked and said, "It's okay, I will repackage and deliver it again. If I stay at home and do nothing, I will become moldy and grow hair."The servant didn't say anything more, but watched as she filled two bowls of poached snow pear with hone
When Nancy woke up, it was in the middle of the night. She stared at the white ceiling, tears streaming down her face.Upon hearing the suppressed crying, Dalton, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins. "Nancy, Nancy, are you awake?"Nancy looked at him and pointed to her small belly, "Gone, right?"Dalton struggled to force a smile, "There will be more in the future, Nancy. We will have children again in the future."Nancy cried out, "Why did he survive the fire, survive the kidnapping, but couldn't survive that glass of orange juice? Why treat my child like this? What did he do wrong? That glass of orange juice was personally delivered to me by my mother, does she even know?"Dalton was worried about Nancy's postoperative bleeding and quickly grabbed her hand. "She is unaware, Nancy, what you need most now is to recover your body. You must not get emotionally excited, otherwise it can eas
