Chapter 451

So, I asked, “How does it feel to see the person you loved having a baby with another man? It must hurt a lot, right?”He looked at me calmly. “What? Am I that obvious?”“Yeah.” I looked at him. “You don’t show it on the outside, but I can tell that your heart is breaking.”“You have great eyesight now. You can even see right through me.” He smiled. Then, he reached out and lightly touched my eyes.His fingers were warm, but I was not joking.Ever since Cecilia betrayed him, I had wanted to know how he felt. He must have been hurt, right? He once loved her deeply.I moved his hand away and gazed into his calm eyes.“Honestly, I stopped loving Cecilia three years ago,” he said softly.“Hah.” That was the funniest thing I had heard this year. “Is there any point in deceiving yourself? Or are you trying to say that you stopped loving her a long time ago and secretly fell for me without realizing it?”“If everyone else can see through her, I can too. When Cecilia suddenly disapp

Fame was ruthless. Was he really going to make Cecilia terminate her pregnancy just because it was a girl?Being the nosy person I was, I quickly rolled down the window to hear better.Cecilia’s panicked voice rang out. “Why would you want to get rid of the baby? Even if it’s a girl, it’s still our child!”Fame sneered. “Do I lack children? What I lack is a son!”“I’m already this far along. The doctor said that it would have to be induced labor.”“Then, induce labor.”“Fame!” Cecilia lost it and screamed, “How could you be so heartless?! Why are you doing this to me?!”Fame’s voice turned sharp and icy. “Cecilia, you’ve been with me for six months. You know exactly how much money you’ve spent. Without me, Wilson Corporation would’ve gone bankrupt ages ago! You’re no longer the Wilson family’s pampered heiress. The Wilson name is just an empty shell now!”I could not see Cecilia’s expression because they were arguing behind a pillar. However, I could imagine how furious she mus

Mr. Jenkins laughed. “I’m getting old. I haven’t been careful with my diet, so two of my three arteries are blocked. I’ll need to be more careful from now on.”A pretty woman took the flowers from me. “I’ll put these in a vase.”“Cassia, have a seat. You’re pregnant,” Mr. Jenkins said kindly. His group of young women quickly brought us tea and chairs. They were eager to help.So, I sat down with a cup of tea. Austin looked a lot like his dad, except for his eyes.His eyes were like his mom’s. She passed away when we were kids, but I still remembered her. Mrs. Jenkins had the most beautiful eyes. They were so stunning that they were like poetry. Her name was Poem Roberts, and it was fitting.Anyway, we chatted casually with Mr. Jenkins. “Where’s Austin? Is he still at work?” “He usually comes around 7 p.m. and leaves after a while,” Mr. Jenkins said.I thought about it. That matched the times Austin would show up at my place—around 9 p.m. It turned out that he came over afte

By the time I got home, Sophie was already back.She was watching a cartoon with Rachel. When she saw me, she asked, “Where have you been? Why are you home so late?”“I went for a checkup and stopped by to see Austin’s dad.”“Oh.” Her eyes widened. “I totally forgot about that.”“I already explained it to him. With how inattentive you are, we don’t expect you to remember. By the way, how did you even get downstairs?”“Oliver carried me to the elevator. He’s grown so much. He lifted me like it was nothing.”“What about Lucy?”“Why do you care?”I did not, really. I was just curious.Lucy had gone out. She could not sit still at home.Kingston showed up shortly after. After a quick chat, I took Rachel to her room to play. That way, he could be alone with Sophie. I even asked Mrs. Gibson to bring our dinner to the room to give them privacy.I had always been in favor of Sophie and Kingston dating. That was why I introduced them to each other in the first place.However, realiz

Chapter 455

I was not afraid of giving birth. I did not know why I was so angry. Sophie actually knew nothing, and she had not done anything wrong. Austin was not in the wrong either. He was only preventing Sophie from future heartache. I regretted knowing so much. My heart was heavy, and I could not describe how I felt. Just then, I heard someone at the door. It was Lucy returning. I walked over and saw her grimace. Austin was walking behind her. I bet she was having fun when he took her home. Lucy suddenly seemed like a mere pawn. I poked my head into the living room. Sophie had finished her meal, and Kingston was wiping her mouth with a piece of tissue paper. I frowned at Sophie. “If you want to act all lovey-dovey, do it in your room.”“Who’s going to be my audience, then?” She looked at Austin. “Why do I have to avoid him?”I gave up and decided to let her be. She would regret it in the future. After that, I personally poured Austin a cup of tea. He took the cup and said

Rachel had already fallen asleep. So, I went downstairs for a glass of lemon water. Kingston happened to walk out of Sophie’s room too. He carefully shut the door, and I asked, “Is Sophie asleep?”“Yes.” Kingston laughed and said, “I was telling her a bedtime story, and she dozed off.”He had such patience to even tell Sophie a bedtime story. I could see how much he liked her. If Austin were not in the picture, I would be very happy to see their relationship progress. However, I was the one who had introduced Kingston to Sophie. Whenever I thought about Austin, I felt bad. “Have a safe drive home.”“Don’t worry. It’s just a short drive.” He kindly helped me down the stairs. “Oh, Sophie wants some pastries for breakfast tomorrow. What would you like to eat? I could buy some for you.” “She’s asking you to buy her breakfast? Don’t waste your energy. I can get the driver to buy it or just order delivery. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”“It’s no trouble at all. Sophie did

“Hush.” I held my finger up to my lips. “Stop being so noisy. He’s still sleeping.”“Cassia, can you add more people to your list of blacklisted guests? Austin, that dog—” “Shut up,” I chastised her before she could finish her sentence. However, Austin had already woken up and sat up from the sofa bed. He patted his numb arm as he said to Sophie, “At first, Lucy was sleeping here too, but your snores got too loud, so she went to the other room. I’m still here because I fell asleep. I wasn’t interested in staying up to listen to your snoring.” Sophie threw a throw pillow at him. She used too much force, so Austin toppled over after being hit. She laughed. “Austin, you’re such a loser. Are you made out of glass? Why are you falling over after such a light throw?” Austin slowly walked out of the room, and Sophie scowled as he left. Then, she lay down again. I picked up the throw pillow and tossed it back to her. “Can you be gentler next time?”“Why?”“I know you’re athletic

Chapter 458

Rachel really liked the pastries that Kingston had bought. “I’ve never had such good food before,” she said.She was always surprised by our food, as she grew up overseas with a different type of cuisine. Zach had promised to finish building the castle with Rachel, so I sent her to Yonder Trading in the morning. I held her hand as we walked into his office. He had just finished laying the game mat on the floor. Rachel ran over to him happily. “Zach!” Zach immediately carried her and lifted her over his head. Rachel giggled. She was usually quite lonely, so she loved to spend time with us adults. After I dropped her off, Zach passed me a folder. “It’s about Lucy.” He was extremely quick in his investigation. I took the folder and only found a few pages inside.Lucy was not originally from West City. Instead, she came from East City. It turned out that she had taken her mother’s last name.Her mother was a lounge singer, and there were a few old photos of her in the

Chapter 459

While I was staring at Lucy’s photo, my father called me. He and my mother had been away for a really long trip. They left when it was winter, and it was already spring, but they were still not back. My father said, “The proposal that you sent me regarding Cameron Hill is very detailed. I think it’s a good project. You can sign on my behalf.” “Dad, are you guys not coming back yet?”“You’re good at your job. I feel at ease when you’re in charge.” “Dad, don’t forget that my baby’s due in two months.” “Well, aren’t there two months left, then?” I was speechless. My father was trying to make use of me until the day I gave birth. He seemed to be in a good mood. Yesterday, my mother called and told me that Aunt Lauren and her husband were feeling much better than before. It was especially so after they learned that Sophie had gotten into a relationship. Before I ended the call, my father gave me some encouraging words, “Oscar called me yesterday and praised you for being a

Chapter 460

The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the
