    Hendery's words stayed in my head since then.Ever since I joined Moore Corporation, I have been handling their businesses and cleaning up countless hidden issues along the way.I always thought that was because the Moores were backing me up, but I never realized I was capable of it all on my own.The day of the divorce trial was looming closer. At the same time, I secured even more collaborations, and all voices of opposition within my family disappeared.Evan came looking for me countless times, but I turned him away every time. I wasn't expecting him to track me down at a bar.I was having drinks with my friends at the bar when he came storming at me. He looked completely out of place in the bar with his bead bracelet wrapped around his wrist."Let's go home when you're done throwing your tantrum, honey. Mrs. Moore could only be you—that'll never change, no matter what," Evan pleaded.I gave him a once-over. I always thought he was good-looking, but now I realized that I wa

    Jadon had just woken up in the villa. He rubbed his eyes blearily as he looked at me. "Where did you go, Mommy?"I crouched down and looked at the child, whom I had cared for for the past five years—I just couldn't bear leaving him. "Sweetheart, if I ended up getting divorced from Daddy, would you want to come with me?"Jadon replied without hesitation, "I'll follow Daddy!""But I was the one who has been taking care of you all these years." Refusing to give up, I asked again."Aunt Jade can take care of me too. Besides, she's prettier and more gentle than you—I don't want Mommy!" Jadon's innocent words were like sharp knives, cutting deep into my heart and leaving it to bleed openly.This was the child I sacrificed five years to take care of—and he personally told me he didn't want me anymore.I stood up, no longer looking at him with warmth. "Alright then, I'll let you have your way."I couldn't help but cry out once I left the villa. Hendery said nothing as he handed me a tis

    My mind went blank, a deafening rush taking over. How could Jadon not be my biological son when I had birthed him?But the truth was right before me. The words "non-biological relation" were branded into my heart.Jade's face came to my mind.Both Evan and I were not allergic to cherries, but she was. And Jadon happened to be allergic to cherries as well.I was in a daze as I walked out of the lab.The doctor told me that Evan took Jade away as soon as she was done donating blood, citing that she was feeling unwell. He simply left Jadon in my care.I looked down at Jadon, who was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. I couldn't believe he wasn't my son—I could still remember the day I had given birth to him.My phone suddenly chimed, and I opened it reflexively. Jade had sent me a photo of an egg retrieval form—it was dated exactly five years ago.Her text read: "Did you really think you could beat me by having a powerful family, Cynthia? Evan never loved you—he married you jus

    Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared hard at the IV drip above me.I hadn't cried in years, but somehow, those words got to me.I said, "Evan and I are in a marriage of convenience, Hendery. It involves both the Warner and the Moore families. It's not something I can—"It wasn't something I could decide on my own. It was just like how, when I tried to break free in the past, they ended up bringing me back and forcing me to put on a wedding dress.After a moment of silence, Hendery seemed to have come to a resolution. "We could also have a marriage of convenience, Cynthia."Taken aback, I stared at him for a moment before hastily averting my gaze. "Well, Hendery, is there a possibility for two individuals who aren't allergic to cherries to have a baby who's allergic to cherries?""There's a possibility for that to happen." Sensing my hesitation, Hendery quietly let the topic drop.He didn't bring it up again all the way home. It was as if those words were nothing more than some

    Jade's words lingered on my mind as I left the monastery that day.Neither Evan nor I was allergic to cherries, but Jadon would break out in rashes whenever he ate cherries since he was young.I used to suspect it might be a recessive gene, but Jade's words planted a seed of doubt in my heart.I went to the hospital to investigate and found that I was the only postpartum patient they took in on that day. Besides, my parents were constantly by Jadon's side—there was no chance of a baby swap.But once doubt was planted, the little things I've noticed over the years about his mismatched habits seemed to make sense, one by one.…Evan, who had been away for days, finally came back today—he even brought me a gift. I absentmindedly placed it aside, my gaze fixed on Jadon's hand.No one in our family had ever held cutlery like that. But Evan had recorded in his scripture that Jade had always gripped her cutlery in her fists, since no one had taught her properly when she was young, and
