Timothy generously gave a suggestion. "It's fine, then. I'll make supper and deliver it to you."Chelsey wandered away to keep her distance from Lucas. She declined, saying, "Tim, save the trouble. I don't feel like having supper tonight; you can go ahead. I'll buy you a meal next time instead.""That's okay," he replied.After a pause, he wondered aloud, "Why are you with Lucas Yates? Did he take advantage of you or anything? Tell me if he did. I'll give him a good beating."She hurriedly denied it, "No, he didn't. I've sorted things out with him. I'm just here to visit his mom because she has some kind of brain tumor. I'm worried about her.""Alright then. Call me if you need anything." Timothy hung up in disappointment.After Chelsey put away her phone, she turned around to find Lucas staring at her with much hostility, as though he had caught her cheating.She gave him a look and went into the patient's ward. Lucas texted his assistant, "Look into the background of Timothy

Timothy drove Chelsey home, purposely ignoring the Rolls-Royce that was tailing them. He did not even bring up the observation to Chelsey.Upon arrival, Chelsey invited Timothy into the house. Since her marriage to Lucas three years ago, she had not invited any friends to their place.Timothy happily agreed and entered the villa. Chelsey made some tea for Timothy while he wandered to the fireplace, where he found some half-burned photo frames in the area. He could make out Lucas' and Chelsey's faces in the photos.A grin appeared on his lips when he realized that Chelsey had burned her photos with Lucas. At that moment, she emerged from the kitchen with freshly brewed tea. Seeing him standing by the fireplace, she called out to him gently, "Tim, have some tea.""Sure." He took a seat on the couch, and she served him a cup of tea.Taking a sip, he commented, "Mm, this is good stuff. The tea has depths and comes on strong. This is the best Darjeeling tea. I gifted Mr. Johnson some o

Lucas was upset when Timothy wished him a happy marriage. Not showing any mercy, he turned to Chelsey and confronted her, asking, "Don't you think you should give me a heads-up before you bring any outsiders home?"Chelsey retorted, "Tim isn't an outsider. He's like a brother to me.""I still have the right to know because this is my place," Lucas snapped as he warily eyed Timothy.He was troubled by the way Timothy looked at Chelsey."Fine. I'll move out tomorrow," Chelsey grumbled as she glared at Lucas. It was not as if she wanted to live here.Timothy immediately chimed in, "I have an empty villa. Why don't you move in for the time being? There's a spacious study and painting room in that villa for you to work undisturbed."Before Chelsey had a chance to speak, Lucas turned down the offer on her behalf. "It's fine. This is her home, and she'll be staying. I'll add her name to the title deed tomorrow."At that moment, Chelsey was incredibly irritated by Lucas. What was he t

Chelsey's hand was shaking when she held her phone. She panicked. "Sandra, what do I do?"The child arrived without any warning, and she was caught off guard.Sandra, however, sounded calmer than her friend. "Chels, it's tough being a single mom. The kid needs a father figure too. Why don't you have a talk with Lucas? If he wants the baby, tell him to break it off with that bitch and stay with you. At least, the baby will be born into a complete family."As Chelsey's friend, Sandra witnessed the hardships Chelsey had gone through in her marriage to Lucas. Sandra understood the depth of Chelsey's love for Lucas, and she thought it'd be a happy ending if the couple stayed married for the child.Chelsey caressed her belly. Although she was only carrying a fetus at this point, she was experiencing a new feeling as a mother.After some thinking, she came to a decision. "Fine. I'll talk to him tomorrow. If he doesn't want the baby, I'll raise the baby alone."A baby made her happier

The pond was shallow, its waters only reaching one's calves. There was a lot of mud in it, however, which stained Shannon's coat after she fell in.Shannon, who usually carried herself gracefully, was now in an incredibly sorry state.Chelsey had the urge to shove a clump of mud into Shannon's mouth to shut her up.But she refrained from doing so.Chelsey was about to find someone to help pull Shannon up when a tall figure walked past her.When Chelsey finally saw who it was, Lucas had already lifted Shannon out from the pond. He was now covered in mud too."My hand hurts so much, Luke … " Shannon moaned through her tears, curled up in Lucas' arms. She shot Chelsey a look of utter delight when they passed by her, making Chelsey feel unbearably upset.When Lucas walked past Chelsey, he said to her, "Stay in the hospital first. I need to talk to you about something."Lucas then went outside the hospital with Shannon in his arms. The tears Chelsey tried to hold back finally br
