On the second morning, Sylvia woke up punctually and had breakfast like usual. She then took a ride to the gynecology hospital in the city center. She waited for her turn in the public waiting area. All the other young mothers who were also waiting for their turns were accompanied by their husbands. One of the young mothers was having a difficult time and her husband pampered her by hugging and cheering her up. The other young mothers were also chatting with their husbands intimately and there was even a couple behind Sylvia discussing their child’s name. Everything felt heartwarming and yet it was a luxury that she could not afford. She looked down at her belly and said softly, “My dear child, Daddy isn’t here but I’ll be here with you always.” …Meanwhile, in the office on the highest floor of Carter Tower, the man was behind his desk working on his documents. Ding! His phone rang and the caller ID showed Lily’s name. The shared project between the Carter famil

Just when the situation started to get awkward, the waiter served their dishes. The waiter was also surprised by their demeanor, but he managed to keep his smile and said to them, “Sir, madam, your order is here.” Lily smiled at Odell and said, “Master Carter, we shouldn’t be disturbing Ms. Ross. Let’s go back and sit down.” Odell shot one last glance at Sylvia before he returned to his seat. Lily sat down opposite him. The waiter served their food as soon as they returned. The baby in Sylvia’s belly finally calmed down. She sighed a breath of relief and continued eating. She gobbled down everything as quickly as possible and went to the counter to pay for the meal. After making the payment, she strode out of the restaurant. Little did she know, Odell had been staring at her from the moment she got up until she left his sight completely. He felt disheartened as he watched Sylvia leave in a hurry as if she was being chased by something. Why would she react so anxio

Two days went by in the blink of an eye. In the past two days, Sylvia would run into him in the morning when he left for work but other than that, she did not see him at all. He probably waited for her to leave before he came home. Today, after her simple breakfast, Sylvia took a ride to Carter Residence as usual. Again, when the car stopped in front of the house, the familiar towering figure came out from the gate. He went straight to his black sports car as if he did not notice Sylvia’s ride stopping in front of the house. Sylvia hesitated for a second before she got out. She wanted to tell him that she would not be coming for a few days, so he did not have to avoid her for the time being. However, before she could catch him, he got into the car and drove off. Sylvia furrowed her brows as she watched the car disappear from her sight. …20 minutes later, the black sports car arrived at the boxing gym in another district. The man came down from the car and strode

Sebastian was just outside the door when Lily arrived. He wore a bright smile and welcomed her. “Ms. Springsteen, what brings you here?” he asked politely. Lily smiled. “It’s almost Christmas, so I was thinking of visiting the kids and Madam Carter.” Sebastian recalled Odell’s grumpy look when the man returned, so he begrudgingly furrowed his brows. Lily sharply noticed his reaction and asked, “What’s wrong, Sebastian? The kids aren’t around?” Sebastian thought about it for a moment. Odell was fine when he left in the morning but he returned with a grumpy look, so something must have happened outside. Sylvia was also inside with the kids, so things should be fine. He said, “The kids are home but their mother is here as well.” Lily’s expression changed. “Ms. Ross is here?” Sebastian said, “Yes. She’s here to accompany the kids, and I believe she’s leaving in the afternoon.” Lily recovered her frozen smile and said, “I see.” She then brought her assistant and walked

Lily’s expression changed. “Grandmother, you’re saying that that woman seduced Master Carter?” Madam Springsteen angrily said, “What else could it be? If she kept her distance, there shouldn’t be anything between her and Master Carter. You saw them kissing at home. It’s almost Christmas, so Master Carter should be at home since it’s the holidays… I believe she went over every day just to see him and once it got frequent, it wasn't strange for something to happen between them.” Lily angrily clutched her hands. She thought after announcing her identity as Odell’s fiancée at her grandfather’s event, Sylvia would stay away from the man, but now things got worse. Madam Springsteen sat down beside Lily and said, “Lily, don’t be sad. I’ll teach her a lesson and I’ll make her remember the consequences of her actions. No disgraceful woman shall snatch the man of your dreams away from you.” “Thank you, Grandmother.” She originally thought Odell still had feelings for Sylvia but after
