She raised her eyes and cast a hopeful glance at the door, but she was rooted to the spot when she saw the man standing there.She thought it would be Baxter. Instead, it was Brandon.How did he know she was here?“B-Brandon? What are you doing here?”Fuming with rage, he took a step forward and slapped her. “How dare you run away from me, you whore?”Amber was stunned. She could never have expected him to track her down this fast.“T-That’s not what happened…” Churning her brain, she said, “S-Someone asked me to be here. He said you arranged for me to wait for you here.”Brandon was seething and he yanked her hair. “Stop trying to talk your way out of it. Someone told you to wait for me here, huh? So, where is he?”“He left, Brandon. I was waiting for you. I mean it. Why would I run away when I'm carrying your baby?”He sneered and put his palm on her belly. “Do you think I’ll let you keep the baby?”Amber was bewildered. “What’s the matter, Brandon? It’s your baby. You’ll s

Brandon said, “I know you don’t actually want a divorce. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. It’s so not worth it to ditch my family for the sake of some random lady. I regretted my decision for a long time. Let’s call a truce, honey. I’ll admit it. I can’t bear to live without you.”Ethel squinted. She was not sure what he was planning. She tried probing again, “I’m not going to take away everything from you. Read the agreement. We’ll split the properties. Rest assured, I won’t try to pull one over you.”He held her shoulders, looking affectionate, and said, “I’m not after the properties. I truly see it now. I know who my real family is. Please forgive me, honey. “I’m sure you know that, sometimes, men couldn’t help but think the grass was greener elsewhere. I think you’ll agree that I woke up just in time. So, give me another chance, and let me show you my actions in the future.”She broke out of his restraints and sneered. “You woke up just in time? How do you have the audacity

A burning rage rose within Sophia when she heard that. “Why are you still transfusing blood to her? You’re going to get yourself killed. Chester is nothing more than a scumbag. Why are you still doing what he tells you to?”Phoebe lowered her head listlessly as tears began to drop onto her hand, “You have no idea. I don’t have a choice when it comes to him. I have to obey.”Sophia rubbed her throbbing forehead. Things were too complicated between Phoebe and Chester. She was already regretting not listening to Elliot. Why did she have to poke her nose into their business? The worst thing is that Chester had no idea what was good for himself.However, given what she saw earlier, she could not just leave Phoebe to her fate. There was a good chance he might torture her to death.“Were those people your family?”“Yeah. Those are my parents and my sister-in-law.”“Why were they hitting you?”Phoebe sighed. “They thought I killed my brother.”“Your brother?” Then, it hit Sophia. “Was

Sophia was being unreasonable. “You’re heartless, cold, and selfish. Also, you’re always mean to me.”Elliot looked at her the way he would a child who was having a temper tantrum and smiled, “I’m saying what an outsider would say. I’m not pinning the blame on anyone. There are two sides to every story. Phoebe married Chester, knowing full well that he didn’t love her. She had to be prepared that he wasn’t going to treat her fairly.“It’s the same with us. I chose to marry you, knowing full well that you have a bad temper, despite the fact that we have had some sweet and happy moments. You can’t have everything.” He pinched her chin lovingly.She pouted a little. What he said did make sense. But did anyone force him to marry her?Refusing to give in, she smacked her hand away. “Who did you say have a bad temper? Don’t you think that I’m very kind to you? You should appreciate me more.”He held her hand and chuckled. “Okay. I’ve always appreciated you very much. Isn’t it up to us h

Sophia got a call from Charles in the afternoon. He said Adeline was on a holiday break and they wanted to treat her to a meal. They decided to get some barbecue. Sophia went straight to the barbecue joint from the hospital. Needless to say, she took her bike. Now that she had it, it was very convenient to travel. Both Charles and Adeline were already there by the time she reached the place.She saw them from afar and asked, “Why are we sitting outside?”He said, “It’s stuffy inside.”Adeline agreed. “That’s right. We can enjoy ourselves better if we eat out here.”Sophia smiled. “Alright. We’ll sit here.”“Go ahead and order. We’ve already gotten some stuff for ourselves. Feel free to get whatever you'd like.” He handed her the menu. Sophia read the menu for a while and said, “I’ll have some prawns, mushrooms, and chicken.” The waiter took her order and left.She turned and looked at Adeline. “Your exams are over. How did it go for you?”Adeline grew grim. “If you want to
