The next day, Dorothy was getting ready for work when a knock came at the door. She narrowed her eyes, wondering who it could be, then went to open it.Standing in front of her was a familiar little boy, about 4'1, wearing a pout on his face."Aunty, I feel bad for talking to you like that yesterday. I'm really sorry," Maxwell said softly."Aww, look at you," Dorothy cooed, resisting the urge to squeeze his cheeks and ruffle his blond hair. "I agree you shouldn't speak to elders like that — it's not nice — but aunty forgives you, okay?""Thank you!" Maxwell smiled, then ran back to the living room.Dorothy smiled after him and gave herself a quick once-over before leaving her room. Downstairs, Stefan sat with Beatrice, sipping from a small cup of tea. When he saw Dorothy dressed up, he looked surprised."What's going on, love? Why are you dressed like this?" he asked with a blank expression."Exactly what you think — I'm going to work," Dorothy said, almost rolling her eyes."Love, yo
Dorothy was up a little late. She forced herself to wash her face before carefully making her way downstairs. Beatrice, who was in the kitchen, immediately left what she was doing to help Dorothy sit."Harrison said you shouldn’t stress yourself if you want to recover quickly," Beatrice said gently."Mom, it’s okay. It’s been days since the accident. I’m fine already. I can’t keep lying down morning and night. I’m pregnant. If I don’t get some movement, I’ll put on too much weight," Dorothy replied as she took her seat."Where’s Maxwell?" she asked, noticing his absence. "Is he still mad at me?""He’s such a brat. I already scolded him for talking to you like that. He went to school," Beatrice answered, and Dorothy nodded."But don’t mind him, okay? You know how kids are," Beatrice added gently, still trying to stylishly apologize.Dorothy smiled. "It’s okay. I’m not mad at him."Just then, Tiffany walked in with a tray of food. She helped set the table and bowed politely before stepp
"Good evening, Miss Beatrice," Chole and Kristin greeted in unison as they stepped into Stefan’s mansion. Stefan had given Chole an early leave so they could visit Dorothy."Hello, dears," Beatrice smiled warmly at them. "She’s awake now. I’m just making her a quick snack. If you'd care for some, I can—""It’s okay, ma’am. We’ll go say hi to Dorothy," Kristin cut in politely, but Chole nudged her shoulder."Speak for yourself. I care for some snacks," Chole muttered loudly enough for Beatrice to hear."A snack for Chole. Got it," Beatrice said with a helpless smile and returned to the kitchen.Kristin shook her head at what she considered Chole’s lack of class as they headed to Dorothy’s room."Hey, sweetie," Chole greeted softly. "Griffin told us you had an accident, but what we didn’t know was that you’re pregnant.""For how long?" Kristin added."Are you here to interrogate me or cheer me up?" Dorothy asked tiredly, then sighed deeply. "It’s been two months and a few days.""My Sha
At Everest Stock Exchange, while Tristan was in the boardroom, the door suddenly swung open and an angry Stefan barged in. Without giving anyone time to react to his presence, he stormed straight toward Tristan, yanked him from his chair, and punched him hard across the face.Before Tristan could recover from the blow, Stefan grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall."Listen to me, you bastard," Stefan hissed in a low, threatening voice. "You can pull whatever the hell you want with me, but you’ll stay away from my wife.""What the hell are you talking about, you asshole?" Tristan growled, his lower lip already bleeding."You know damn well what you did, Tristan. And believe me when I say, you’ll want me quiet about this," Stefan snapped, seething with rage.The door burst open again as security rushed in, grabbing Stefan and pulling him off Tristan. Stefan shoved their hands off his body and pointed furiously at Tristan."You want war, you bloody fuck? I’ll give you
We are at chapter 100 and if anyone is still here, then just drop everything and meet me at the altar because we are getting married, richa*s!!I want to shout out to everyone starting this journey with me and still going. I honestly didn't expect much from this book, but you people keep showing me love every day. I wish I could do something about how slow the updates are becoming. My personal life is so busy, messing with my writing time, but I promise you all I'll still keep on writing till I finish.Also, thank you for 50k views. I love all 50k of you!!
She was awake, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. Stefan stood by the door, unsure of what to say or do."Are you going to come in?" Dorothy sighed.Stefan shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry," he apologized quietly, stepping in and moving closer to her.There was more silence before Stefan finally spoke. "Do you know?" he asked calmly.No response. Stefan chuckled bitterly."Why didn’t you say anything for so long?" he asked again.Dorothy swallowed hard, turning her face to the wall."You were having a good time with Edward and his sister, and I didn’t want to spoil anything for either of you," she replied."Biggest bullsht," Stefan disagreed. "No matter what, love—I would always choose you. No matter fcking what, love. F*ck!" he clenched his fists, turning away."Really?" Dorothy said coldly, shooting him a painful look. "Does 'I would always choose you' mean letting your ex-girlfriend slap and trash-talk me for something I didn’t do?" she asked angrily."Love..." Stefan sighed."I can
