Mag-log inOn our seventh wedding anniversary, my husband, Nate Anderson, told me that he had offended a mob boss. On the same night, he sent our daughter, Poppy Anderson, and I to go into hiding in the desert. Halfway through the journey, I recalled that I had forgotten to pack my daughter’s asthma medication. Hence, I quickly went back. However, I saw Nate celebrating with his friends in our mansion. “Nate, aren’t you worried that Lila and Poppy are going to starve in the remote area that you’ve sent them to?” Nate said indifferently, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve repackaged the unsold dog food from Emma’s shop and sent it to them. They won’t starve.” Emma leaned her head against Nate’s chest. “Baby, you’re so smart. Do you think our child will be more like you or me?” Nate looked at her lovingly and kissed her. “Regardless of who our child resembles, I’ll love him or her the most.” His friend could not stand it anymore. “Since you don’t love Lila, why did you marry her and have Poppy with her?” Nate lit a cigarette. He looked a little cross. “I only slept with Lila because I was afraid that Emma would think I was inexperienced, but I didn’t expect her to get pregnant after that one time. “I only married her out of responsibility. I feel bad for Emma. She was with me for so many years, but our relationship had no label. “If Lila finds out that Emma’s pregnant, she’ll definitely make a scene. I have no choice but to simply make up a lie and send her away.” I stood on the other side of the door, feeling chilled to the bone. Three years later, Nate video-called me with a big smile. “Lila, it’s all over. Are you and Poppy doing well? I’ll come get you.” I looked at the man, who was hugging me tightly in his sleep. “We’re doing good! My new husband keeps me very satisfied, and Poppy has started to call him ‘Daddy.’”
view moreIt was late at night. I tucked Poppy into bed. She was tired from playing. Then, I quietly shut the door to her bedroom. I showered after returning to the master bedroom. The warm water washed away the tiredness. I could smell the rose-scented oil in the air. I walked out of the washroom while drying my hair with a towel.The room was dim, and only a floor lamp was casting a soft, yellow light. After we returned from the beach, Liam had been staring at me very intently. His molten gaze stirred something in me.I was just about to ask him what he was thinking, when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. I gasped and fell into his strong embrace. I could feel his warm body through his bathrobe. I trembled. “Liam, what are you doing…”I frantically wanted to stand up, but he held me on his lap. He leaned down and pressed his nose against mine. His scent immediately surrounded me. “Today, about the surf coach at the beach, do you think he had a good f
I took the lift to the back door. Nate was leaning against a wall. His face was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn. He no longer looked as smug as he was before. When he saw me, he immediately crawled over. “Lila! My wife! I realize how wrong I was. I’ve learned from my mistakes!”The security guard stopped him from getting any closer to me. Nate started crying behind the security guards. “Lila, Emma lied to me! Olly’s not mine! She had him with another man! I was completely deceived!”I watched his performance with cold eyes. “What of it? What does it have to do with me?”Nate was stunned for a while before he began sobbing even louder. “Lila, you’re the only one who genuinely loves me. Poppy’s my daughter! Please forgive me, even if it’s just for Poppy. Please ask Mr. White not to destroy my company. I’ll repay you however you wish!”I felt vindicated when I saw his pitiful expression as he stood there, begging.“Nate, do you remember that night from thr
“Let… go…”Nate’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a wild animal. “For you, I abandoned Lila and Poppy, my own daughter, in the desert! I disregarded my reputation to marry you. How dare you make me raise another man’s child for three years?”Emma tried her hardest to struggle free. She panted and let it all out. “Yes! Olly’s not yours! What of it? If you hadn’t kept delaying your divorce, I wouldn’t have looked for another man!“Do you think you love me that much? You just love the feeling of having the best of both worlds! You’re cruel enough to abandon your wife and child in the desert and let them eat dog food. Do you think you deserve true love?”Nate was hurt by her words. He stumbled backward.His mind replayed the scene from three years ago. He personally pushed Poppy and me into that rundown van. He watched as we disappeared into the desert, and he did not even feel sorry. He even got someone to repackage the expired dog food and sent it to us. He t
At the hospital, the doctor examined Olly. His face looked solemn. “He’s suffering from acute hemolysis. He has to receive a blood transfusion immediately.“However, his blood type is rare. It’s AB negative. We don’t have any blood of his type on hold currently.”Emma started crying from fear. “Doctor, you can take my blood! I’m Type A!”The doctor shook his head. “Direct family members can’t donate blood. Besides, you’re not a match.” Nate rolled up his sleeve. “Take my blood! I’m his biological father, and I have O-type blood. I can transfer my blood to him!” The doctor looked at Nate. He had a weird expression on his face. “Sir, are you sure you have O-type blood?”Nate was impatient. “Of course, I know my own blood type. Quick, just take it!” The doctor sighed. “Sir, parents with blood type O and A can’t produce an AB-type child.”It was dead silent. Nate froze. He slowly turned around and looked at Emma. Emma’s face was extremely pale. She dodged N
Nate was no longer smiling. He started scolding me with a serious expression. “Lila, you’re being difficult. I’ve worked hard in the past three years to placate the mob boss. After dealing with that, the first thing I thought of was getting you back. Why are you acting so snarky?”Emma added fuel
It was early spring, and the wind was still chilly. The swimming pool was extremely cold. “Nate, let me go! If you dare to touch me, Liam won’t let you off the hook!” Emma laughed. “Nate, I bet some random man must have scammed Lila. How dare she use Liam from the most affluent White family in
Nate frowned. “Lila, go quit your job right now. I’m here to take you home today. We need someone to take care of Emma’s child. You can go back home and take care of both Emma and her child.”I almost laughed incredulously. “Nate, if there’s something wrong with your head, you should go see a d
On the other end of the video call, Nate Anderson was slightly stunned. Then, he laughed. “Lila, why are you still so stubborn? I know you’ve suffered in the desert for three years, and that you’re upset about it. You just said you have a new husband to make me feel bad, right?”I stared coldly
