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
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
"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"Hospital operating room.Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown."Why!""Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even fi
In front of her eyes was a bright dressing table mirror. Zoey looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in professional attire and with her hair tied up, and for a moment, she was stunned.Looking around, she was in the room of the Harmon family.The room was very small and had been cluttered with miscellaneous items. It was simply renovated before she came back.Zoey raised her hand and placed it on her chest, as the sound of her heart beating rapidly echoed.She didn't die.Did she actually not die?"Zoey, have you finished tidying up? We agreed to meet at this time to go to the Candy Shop, don't be late."Ariana's voice sounded outside the door.Familiar attire, familiar words.Candy Shop?Wasn't that two years ago?Two years ago, Nelson found her and said that the Harmon family and the Maddox family had an engagement, and he hoped she would become his wife.She was full of excitement back then, after all, the man in front of her was her lifesaver.But Nelson had told her he wanted
The sound of knocking on the door was heard, and Ariana pushed the door open."Zoey, the engagement banquet has started, it's time for you to go on stage."Zoey looked at Ariana's swollen lips and understood in her heart.It was obvious that Ariana and Nelson were secretly involved with each other.In the past, she’d trusted them and hadn’t thought to question it. But now, every little detail was as clear as day.She smiled and said, "Okay."Zoey stood up and Ariana's face changed suddenly, "Zoey, did you change your dress?"Zoey was dressed in a white lace long dress, with silver flat shoes on her feet. Her dark, slightly curled hair fell to her waist, and her light makeup looked clean and gentle, like a fairy fallen to earth.“Doesn't it look good?” Zoey asked with a smile.Ariana tugged at her lips and said, "Good, it looks good. Nelson will definitely be amazed."Zoey glanced at her clenched palm and realized she was worried that she might seduce Nelson away.She patted Ariana's s
Alonso's mouth twitched, "Where do I go find it?"Zoey's gaze fell on Russell in the wheelchair and she said, "Since there is an engagement, it doesn't say who it has to be with. So, I want Russell!"Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips.Just now Russell said he wasn't interested in women, isn't that asking for trouble!Moreover, although Russell held a high position and had an exquisite appearance, he was impotent. Marrying him would clearly mean living as a widow!Is Miss Harmon from the Harmon family out of her mind?The air seemed as if it had stopped flowing, unusually quiet.The entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of Russell lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.Under the crystal chandelier, the man's pupils turned amber, as if they had merged with the snow, clear and beautiful, unlike those of a real person.Suddenly, his slender fingers paused, and he glanced at Zoey's delicate eyebrows, raising them slightly. His voice was cold and clean, "I agr
Zoey looked at the man's sharply defined face, from his eyebrows to his nose bridge, and then to those beautifully curved thin lips, all so perfect.She lifted her little face and her lips pressed against the man's lips.Her heart jumped uncontrollably, as if she had lived two lifetimes. This was her first kiss.She was innocent and quite inexperienced, extending her tiny tongue to lightly brush against the man's thin lips.The man started to breathe heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He wanted to reach out and support the back of the girl's head, but he withdrew his hand and let the girl do as she pleased.Troy, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and was completely shocked by what he saw.The aloof and abstinent Russell unexpectedly succumbed to the advances of a dominant woman!He looked very enjoyable!Just that woman...Russell's cold gaze met Troy's prying eyes, causing the latter to quickly press the button and raise the partition.Inside of
Zoey grabbed Dahlia's wrist and said coldly, "I will not make any statement, and I will not accept any betrothal gift. You're disappointed in me, and I am equally disappointed in you! I will leave the Harmon family tonight!"She let go of Dahlia's hand and went straight up the stairs.Dahlia stumbled as she was pushed away, wanting to go after and ask, but she was pulled back by Matteo.He sternly said, "Treating your daughter as an object, do you even deserve to be a mother? Don't bother Zoey!"Dahlia hummed and stomped up the stairs, while Jordan flicked his cigarette butt and followed suit.Ariana timidly glanced at Matteo and got up to leave.Coming back from abroad, Zoey didn't bring much with her, and she didn't acquire any new items in the past half month either. Therefore, when she returned, she still had the same silver suitcase as when she left.The door was unlocked, Ariana walked up to Zoey, and she fiddled with her hands in front of her."Zoey, are you really leaving? I t
Half an hour later, a beam of bright light shone on Zoey.She raised her hand to shield her eyes, and as the lights went out, she slowly lowered her hand.Troy had already opened the car's back door and walked up to Zoey, gripping the handle of the suitcase."Mrs. Maddox, please get in the car."Zoey said thank you and then got into the car.She turned her head and smiled at the man, "Honey, nice to see you again!"The pure smile made Russell smile lightly, "I thought you were crying just now when I heard your voice."Zoey blinked. “Of course, I missed you so much it made me want to cry.”“Liar,” he replied, but his lips still curved into a slight smile.Zoey leaned forward and raised her bright little face, "Did my nose get longer?"Russell chuckled and said, "How do you feel?""That must not have happened, because I never lie," Zoey laughed.A faint scent of pear lingered around her, and Russell couldn’t help but swallow. “Sit properly.”Zoey let out a soft "oh" and leaned against t
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.

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.

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
