Amy glanced at the door from her position and saw Thaddeus glaring at them coldly. She felt awkward as she glanced at Colin. "Dad, stop talking about this…"Colin was still overjoyed that Amy was pregnant with the Holt family's heir. He didn't notice Thaddeus' arrival at all. "Why should I? Everyone gives their family possessions to their sons, but I don't have a son. If I had one, I would—"As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions shifted.Colin then realized he had slipped out and said what he thought.He cleared his throat and continued, "Amy, just be Thaddeus' wife with peace of mind. Don't forget to help out my business and convince Thaddeus to help. I don't have much identity or power, so it's hard to maintain my business. "My company only managed to reach this point because I always go drinking to maintain my clientele. My liver is about to fail from the amount of alcohol I've been drinking."Amy's face darkened. She knew Colin loved her the most and always agreed

After Thaddeus left, the Quiltons had an impromptu family meeting.Amy panicked as she watched Colin walk in circles. "Dad, hurry up and come up with an idea! I'm getting dizzy just watching you pace around!"However, Colin kept on walking, his mind on overdrive. Once Thaddeus became serious, things would become tricky. They wouldn't be able to hide anything from his perceptive gaze.Margaret comforted her, "Calm down, Amy. Our main goal now is to get your marriage certificate with him and use your marriage as a guarantee. "Even if Thaddeus discovers something in the future, he won't take things too far for the sake of his son. As long as the baby is born, your relationship with Thaddeus is set in stone."Margaret's words snapped Colin out of his trance, and he snapped his fingers. "You're right. We just need to force him to register your marriage, and we'll be set!"Amy groaned and said, "What are you guys talking about? He hasn't even divorced yet, so how can I marry him withi

Colin snorted with a smug expression. To him, that was how you should treat a woman—he had to discipline her to keep her in line. If he gave her an inch, she'll take a mile!After Margaret left, Colin jogged over to the escalator lobby to meet with Jessamine. "Jessie, are you seriously here to cause a ruckus? Amy's pregnant with a baby boy. "I have some advice for you—be smart and don't cause trouble for Amy. If Thaddeus learned that you tried to hurt Amy and her son, he might skin you alive."Jessamine felt dismayed. All she had done was leave the ward to buy some stuff, only to run into the revolting couple. She even got hounded by Colin, who dared to issue her a warning."Colin Quilton, can you and your family please stay away from me? Let's not talk when we bump into each other. Alright?" Jessamine hissed.She had made it clear to Colin that they would treat each other as strangers. After all, he did not care for her as a daughter, and she did not need a heartless dad.Colin

While speaking, they arrived in front of Colin's car. He hesitated to get the photo album because Jessamine had not verbally agreed to divorce Thaddeus.She noticed his hesitation and said, "Hand over Mom's photo album first."Colin placed his hands on his waist and stubbornly stood still. "Promise me you'll divorce Thaddeus first. I need to look after you now that your mom is no longer around. I can't let you ruin your life. Let's get the divorce over with tomorrow. How does that sound? Trust me. I will find a better husband for you."Jessamine stared blankly at her dad, who coaxed her to divorce Thaddeus. She was disgusted by his insincerity. He sounded like a loving father who cared about his daughter, but he only showered her with care to help Amy snatch Thaddeus from her.How ironic the situation was!Her birth father and her husband had both chosen Amy unconditionally. At this point, she was numb to the betrayal and sense of abandonment.She had tried to convince herself to

Thaddeus reflexively reached for a cigarette in his pocket but found nothing. Although he had felt Jessamine's aloofness, he never expected her to start looking for her next date. Was she so urgent that she would go on blind dates? She even started chatting with that guy on WhatsApp.Did Jessamine forget that she was legally still Mrs. Holt? Thaddeus fumed as he thought about how she dared to openly text her blind date right in his face."Are you that desperate for a man?" he asked.She was puzzled by his passive-aggressiveness. However, given his crazy possessiveness, he must have been furious to see the text. Being at the hospital was the only reason he kept his temper in check. She worried that he might teach her a hard lesson if they were somewhere else.Oddly, his anger made her feel cathartic. Why did she have to listen to him on anything?"Yeah, I'm desperate for a man," she retorted. Then, she tapped on the chat with Brad and texted him in front of Thaddeus, replying, "Sur
