Chapter 6: Giving Him Another One

Author: Balebajiao
At three o'clock in the morning, Juliet Wagner, with dark circles under her eyes, finally met the girl who was said to resemble Morgan Byron's haunting-crush.

She was so tired that she could barely stand, so she splashed some water on her face in the restroom and downed a cup of black coffee in one go. Seeing haunting-crush instantly woke her up.

Before, outsiders had said that the women around Morgan Byron were like a collage of faces, pieced together just to vaguely resemble Helena Byron's face. Now, there was no need for piecing anything together.

Juliet Wagner had seen pictures of Helena Byron. To be honest, she wasn't extraordinarily beautiful, but her eyes were stunning, as beautiful as Juliet Wagner's own. Yet, she had an indescribable aura about her—pitiful, fragile, ethereal? It seemed to fit, yet it didn't quite capture everything.

No one knew why Morgan Byron loved her so much, until Juliet Wagner hit the nail on the head: Helena Byron was like a midnight ghost, or a wisp of morning mist, ready to vanish at any moment. A man like Morgan Byron, who could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, couldn't hold onto such a fragile life. The more elusive it was, the more he yearned for it, missed it, and became entangled in it... To the point where it became somewhat pathological.

Juliet Wagner watched coldly as Morgan Byron, usually so composed and emotionless, walked towards the girl with a slight stagger. Before the girl could even greet him, he pulled her tightly into his arms. She was caught off guard, raising her hands high and curling up in his warm embrace.

Later, Juliet Wagner went over and whispered to Morgan Byron, "Mr. Byron, there are a lot of people here at the airport."

He then let go, looking at the girl in front of him. Juliet Wagner had never seen him look at anyone with such tenderness. In the bright lights of the airport, she could see the shimmer in his eyes.

The girl, a bit flustered, moved her pale lips and softly called out, "Brother..."

Juliet Wagner clearly saw his broad back tremble. He then took off his coat and draped it over the girl's shoulders, asking, "Are you tired from the long flight?"

"Not tired, Brother," the girl replied, quickly settling into her role, placing her small hand in his warm palm. They gazed at each other, and the girl looked on the verge of tears. She bore an uncanny resemblance to Helena Byron, almost like they were twins.

Just then, a flash went off. Juliet Wagner turned to see a paparazzo hiding behind a camera. As she was about to intervene, Morgan Byron already had the girl by his side, walking past her. Morgan Byron, who usually valued his privacy and would get furious if he found out about being photographed, seemed indifferent today. His eyes were only for the girl who resembled his lost love.

Morgan Byron settled the girl in a house not far from his own, providing her with a nanny, gardener, chef, driver, and even a private nurse. According to the driver, The Driver, the girl also had a blood disorder, possibly congenital, not fatal but incurable, leaving her perpetually ill.

"Mr. Byron is having someone look into it. Maybe she's Miss Helena's twin sister," The Driver whispered. "It seems heaven has seen Mr. Byron's devotion and given him another Miss Helena."

She opened her hand and found a ring inside.Juliet Wagner was momentarily stunned, not quite reacting at first."We got our marriage certificate rather suddenly, and I don't think I've given you a wedding ring yet.""When you pulled my hand just now, it scared me."

    The phone on the table suddenly rang, but Morgan Byron didn't even glance at it. Ruo Du reminded him."Your phone is ringing. It shouldn't be your mother, right?""Ignore it. No one important is calling me now.""You make it sound like if I call you in the future, you'll say the same thing?" Ruo Du glanced at the phone and recognized that it was a call from Mr. Byrong, a high-ranking executive at the company."Mr. Byrong is calling. Aren't you going to answer it?""I have nothing to do with Guannan anymore. Why should I answer it?""Is there something urgent at the company?""Whatever happens at the company has nothing to do with us. You're pregnant, so don't worry so much."Ruo Du couldn't force him to answer, but when Mr. Byrong's calls kept coming, it was clear something urgent was happening. She picked up the call, and Mr. Byrong sounded very anxious."Ms. Du, is Mr. Byron there?""He is here." Ruo Du looked down at Morgan Byron, who was squatting in front of her, massagi

After staring at him for a moment, she knew that this was the greatest concession he could make.But Morgan Byron was right; what power did he have to change a case that had already been judged?Tears streaming down her face, Senior Mrs. Byron wiped her eyes and grabbed Morgan Byron's hand."Morgan, Mom begs you, please find someone reliable to take good care of Morton. He has never suffered in his life, and he really can't handle hardship."Morgan Byron fixed his gaze on the hand that Senior Mrs. Byron held onto his sleeve. "If you say one more word, I'll take back what I just said."No amount of pleading could match the weight of those words. Senior Mrs. Byron reluctantly pulled her hand back.She opened her mouth, wanting to give one last instruction, but the sharp look in Morgan Byron's eyes made her close it again.Just as Morgan Byron was about to close the door, Senior Mrs. Byron suddenly whispered, "Congratulations,

    "After all, even if it's nothing serious, we should still go to the hospital," Juliet Wagner said as they walked out of the restaurant."Then just wait and agree to her terms.""Or I could go check on her without letting her know. Once I confirm she's fine, I’ll come back.""What's a pregnant woman always doing at the hospital? She's taking advantage of your kindness to manipulate you."They reached the car, and Morgan Byron opened the door.Du Du was still hesitating: "Really, just ignore it?""You’re not the Buddha who saves all beings.""I never said I was saving all beings, but I'm afraid that if something happens to Senior Mrs. Byron, you’ll regret it later.""Regret is my business, not yours.""Morgan Byron, we are husband and wife now. You need to understand that your problems are my problems too."Morgan Byron's hand rested on the top of the car door: "Take care of yourself first."Juliet Wagner had no choice but to get in the car, but she felt that Senior Mrs. Byron

    Juliet Wagner sat down at her seat, watching the two figures leaving through the floor-to-ceiling window, and couldn't help but sigh."This meal is really expensive. A hotpot would usually cost just a few hundred, but now it feels like we should have gone for abalone, sea cucumber, and shark fin instead.""As long as you're happy, don't worry about the cost-effectiveness.""I'm not happy. Spending so much on a hotpot.""If you look at it from another perspective.""Like what?""Even if a hotpot costs a few hundred, it's worth spending more to make you happy."Juliet Wagner rested her cheek in one hand, staring intently at Morgan Byron. Her gaze made him feel a bit uneasy."What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?""No, nothing, but your words were as beautiful as flowers just now.""Order some dishes." Morgan Byron handed the menu to Juliet Wagner.Juliet Wagner took the menu but didn't order, still staring at him without blinking."Your gaze is making me want to run a

    After walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Juliet Wagner couldn't help but ask Morgan Byron."Why did you come?""Didn't I just explain it?"Juliet Wagner pointed at her belly. "Because of him? But you don't seem like a very responsible person."Morgan Byron was amused by her. "Should I be angry?"Juliet Wagner also laughed. "People really are greedy. Before, when I thought you wouldn't come, I only wanted you to come. Now that you're here, I'm wondering why you came. For me or for the child?""Does it matter?""It does. If you were to lose your memory forever, I would have a husband who only loves the child and not me.""You can still back out." Morgan Byron pointed to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau behind them.Juliet Wagner linked her arm with his. "You want to run? Dream on, there's no turning back now.""What do you want to eat?"Juliet Wagner was taken aback. "Hmm?""It's almost noon. What do you feel like eating?""Your thoughts jump around too much.""Yo
