All Chapters of Become a mother in one night: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day, as per usual, Alex came to Michelle's house for breakfast. Michelle glanced up at him, noticing the weary look on his face, seemingly from a restless night. Her gaze then shifted to the child beside him, who wore the same gloomy expression. Michelle thought to herself, "Like father, like daughter." Though she mentally joked about their similarities, Michelle still expressed concern towards the child's father. Looking at Alex with eyes filled with a mix of care and worry, she asked, "Mr. Ye, did you not sleep well last night?" Alex took a seat across from her. He met her gaze for a brief moment, his expression neutral, before his attention seemed to wander elsewhere. In a soft voice, he merely replied with a noncommittal hum, not offering any further explanation. Seeing that he wasn't keen on continuing the conversation, Michelle didn't press any further. After all, she wasn't genuinely concerned about him. She turned her attention to the gloomy-looking child and asked

Alex deeply pondered over what might have upset Michelle, to the extent that he hardly paid any attention to the latter half of his meeting.He suspected that Michelle might be upset because he had been wrapped up in his work lately, leaving little time for their daughter, Lizzy.Today, Lizzy had unexpectedly called him. However, due to work, he informed her he'd be late coming home. Lizzy, he presumed, must be a tad upset about this.After all, Michelle didn't seem like someone who'd be annoyed over his inability to spend time with her.Alex sighed inwardly.Yes, he was indeed self-aware.With this realization, he quickly concluded the meeting.Before heading home, he made a detour to a nearby mall to pick up a few things.Upon entering his home, Alex noticed Michelle engrossed in her laptop, working on something, while Lizzy was cuddled up next to her, engrossed in an animated show on the TV.Michelle, sensing Alex's arrival, nudged their daughter.Lizzy looked up. Seeing that her f

When Alex Ye caught sight of Michelle Xia and Brandon Su, he experienced a fleeting moment of uncertainty.Although he knew they were discussing the "Star Path" project, he couldn't help but cast a probing glance their way. Especially towards Brandon, who he knew had intentions of pursuing his new colleague. To Alex, it looked like Brandon was standing a bit too close to Michelle, which irked him.He didn’t want Michelle to recognize him as the decision-maker behind NexRealm Studios, so he quickly averted his gaze.With a neutral tone, Alex asked, "Do you two know each other?"It seemed like he was directing the question at both Michelle and Brandon.Brandon, lost in his thoughts, hadn't even considered the possibility that Michelle might be unaware that Alex Ye was the major shareholder of NexRealm Studios. All he could think was, "Damn, the woman I’m interested in is actually my cousin-in-law," and "Should I really pursue someone already connected to my family?"Hearing Alex's query

Unaware, Derek Lin let out a sigh identical to Leonard Chen's. "This is the first time I've heard of someone refusing because the price was too high."Alex Ye thought to himself: *It seems like my employees might not be the sharpest tools in the shed.*Could anyone truly believe Michelle Xia's clearly disinterested excuse?Alex glanced at Derek, commenting, "Well, it's a first for me too."Derek let out a sigh, seeming to hold back words. He worried for the future of NexRealm Studios and for Leonard Chen's thinning hair.Noticing Derek hadn’t left by the end of the workday, Alex inquired, "Derek, are you looking to work overtime voluntarily?"Derek promptly made his exit.Alex had somewhat guessed Michelle's intention. He felt it was her way of "compensating" him, and she wasn’t keen on accepting it.Indeed, he did want to "compensate" her, trying to funnel money her way. Yet, she didn't fancy his financial offer.Considering that Michelle had negotiated with Leonard personally, they

Aria Cheng was a model contracted under a company managed by Eleanor Ye. Initially, she was prominently active in major fashion shows both domestically and internationally. However, due to Nathan Ye and Sophie Ye, she began participating less in these events, transitioning more to behind-the-scenes roles and even evolving into a posture instructor.Today, representing her company, Aria had a meeting with the organizers of a particular fashion week to discuss potential collaborations. Yet, after waiting for what felt like ages, she spotted Michelle Xia and Brandon Su?Aria mused, *What a coincidence.*She discreetly took out her phone and snapped a quick picture, sending it to Nathan.Aria: Darling, am I seeing this right?Nathan: ???Nathan: Honey, be careful with those pictures. They could lead to complications.Aria had heard from Nathan that Alex Ye and Michelle Xia weren’t married yet. Initially, she assumed Alex might be an irresponsible playboy, feeling sympathetic for Michelle
