Hearing that voice, everyone turned their attention to the door.Johnny's leg was in a cast, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. His hair had turned white, and more wrinkles had shown up on his face. His gaze brimmed with guilt and pain when he looked at Evelyn.Chet was the first to dash over to stop Johnny in his path. He said, "Evie doesn't have a father like you. You should turn around and go check on your illegitimate daughter."Johnny wasn't angry about his son speaking in a cold tone to him. Instead, he lowered his pride and begged, "I simply want to see Evie. It's fine if she doesn't want to accept me as her family.""What? Are you here to see if she's dead? Evie wouldn't have suffered so much if it hadn't been for Clara. We were lucky that Evie dealt with the situation smartly. If she hadn't, she and the baby would be shark food by now!""Chet, I have learned my mistake. I didn't think that Clara would do something so heinous, either. It's my fault, and I owe Evie. Please

After those words were said, the balloons floated into the clear blue sky.When they reached a certain height, they popped and scattered rose petals from above.Evelyn tilted her head up and watched as the rose petals danced in the air. Her beautiful lips couldn't help curving into a small grin.Returning to that place brought back some bad memories for her. However, the lively ambiance suddenly engulfed her and dissipated any negative emotions she had.Jazzie made her way over and hugged Evelyn. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Larkin, your husband promised to treat us to lobster, crab, and caviar. Make sure he doesn't skimp on anything."Evelyn chuckled and flicked Jazzie's forehead. After that, she joked, "Look around and see if there's enough food for you. If not, just go ahead and throw me in a pot.""Ah, never mind, then. Mr. Larkin will chop me up and feed me to the sharks before I can cook you," replied Jazzie. "Also, how many times have I told you? Don't flick my forehead. Wha

Chet looked supportive but solemn when he patted Ethan's shoulder. After that, he made his way to Warren.Chet smiled evilly and said, "I can't be the only pitifully single man in the group. I need at least one person to keep me company."Warren grinned and replied, "When he figures things out, he will likely beat you to death.""If he's going to be violent, it will be toward you. You're the one who tricked him first. I simply gave you a hand."The group laughed and chatted away as they moved toward the living room.Seth was the only one who stayed in the same spot.Warren turned to him. In a deep voice, he asked, "Are you waiting for Jennifer?"Seth nodded calmly and replied, "Her arm is hurt, and I worry that she won't be able to take care of Albert."Warren chuckled. He said, "She's going to the hospital today for an ultrasound. After that, she will deal with the baby's legal papers. Didn't she tell you about that?"Seth shook his head numbly and replied, "She didn't."War

Inhaling the familiar scent on Seth's body, Jennifer shut her eyes helplessly for a moment. During the toughest times of her pregnancy, plagued by morning sickness and the agony of childbirth, she had often yearned to call Seth. But each time she remembered the harsh words he had spoken when they broke up, she forced herself to let go of that longing. Just as Jennifer was about to push Seth away, a Bluetooth call connected to the car speakers. Albert's innocent voice echoed from the other end of the line. "Dad, did you follow my advice to win Mom back? She'll forgive you once she sees the almond cookies!" Seth looked at Jennifer in his arms and chuckled softly. "I'm with her right now. We'll be there to meet you soon, okay?" "Hurray! Dad, remember to give Mom lots of kisses. She loves it when I do that. No matter what I do wrong, one kiss makes it all better. Did you get that?" Seth smiled. "Got it. I'll try that." He then leaned down and kissed Jennifer on the forehead.

Evelyn slowly approached Sonya's portrait, her pale, slender fingers gently caressing Sonya's cheek. In a hoarse voice, she murmured, "Mom, it's me, Evie. You had risked your life to save me. I'm here to see you." Hearing these words, Sally could no longer hold back her tears. They once again streamed down her cheeks. "Sonya, it must be your blessing, helping us to find Evie. Don't worry. We'll take good care of her. Rest in peace." Sally handed Evelyn a small bouquet, her voice choked with emotion. "Evie, place these by Sonya's picture, and ask her to bless you and your child with peace and safety." Evelyn took the bouquet. After kneeling in front of the portrait, she arranged the bouquet in a nearby vase. Then, she brought her hands together in a brief prayer. As she prepared to rise, Warren knelt beside her, his expression solemn as he gazed at Sonya's portrait. "Aunt Sonya, thank you for trusting me and betrothing Evie to me before she was even born. We are now marri
