All Chapters of Why the Crocodile Tears?: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Anathea was wearing a silk dress today. The fabric was thin. When Gregory placed his hand on it, it made her skin tingle slightly.She shifted away a little, but Gregory pressed his hand down on her leg, keeping her from moving."Why are you sitting so far away? You're just putting on some medicine, or do you have something else in mind, Mrs. Sinclair?" Gregory teased with a raised brow."I do not!" Anathea retorted, her cheeks flushing slightly.Gregory looked at how flustered she was, the corners of his lips twitching.Resting his arm across her leg, he uttered, "Then, let's get started with the bandage."At the same time, Martin started the car and headed in the direction of Castenea.Outside the window, the scenery kept sliding past. As they drove through a large birch forest, the trees blocked out the sunlight, making the interior of the car darker.Most of Gregory's face was hidden in the shadows. His features were sharp, striking, and intense.His suit jacket had been t

Ten million was a hundred times more than what Anathea used to get. She was a little surprised by how generous Gregory had suddenly become, but she didn't show it.After all, as his wife, she should get that kind of money in the first place. Before this, to him, she was just a woman who wasn't good enough to be seen in public. That was why he brushed her off with a measly 100 thousand.When she loved him, she was worth 100 thousand. Now that she didn't love him anymore, she was worth ten million.Anathea let out a bitter laugh to herself. Love really was the cheapest thing in the world, especially when it came to Gregory."Are you happy now?" Gregory looked at her, his gaze falling to her belly. His tone softened. "Grandma's going to be thrilled when she finds out you're pregnant."Brisa had always hoped they would have another child.Just thinking about a new little life arriving soon and having another small voice calling him "Dad" alongside Xander made him smile slightly. It w

Anathea watched Gregory's serious expression as he replied to Natalie's message and pressed her lips together.Sure enough, Gregory only ever showed this kind of focus and patience when it came to Natalie.It seemed the incident at the Presgraves' party hadn't affected their relationship in the slightest.Anathea was actually a little surprised by how gracious Natalie was—she was able to tolerate the man she loved publicly announcing another woman as his wife in front of everyone.Yet, Anathea was also a bit puzzled. Gregory and Natalie clearly understood each other deeply. They had a long-standing partnership. So, why hadn't Gregory just chosen Natalie to be his wife?They had real feelings for each other, and Eleanor had already long considered Natalie her future daughter-in-law. They had mutual love and approval from their parents, which meant they were the perfect match.But Anathea had neither Gregory's love nor his family's recognition. All she'd had was a blind infatuation

The staff froze for a second as she looked between Natalie and Anathea, unsure of what to do."In your dreams! Greg gave that to me!" Natalie snapped and immediately reached out to snatch it back, but Anathea was faster. She'd already taken the card and stepped away.Natalie ended up grabbing at nothing, causing her to stumble forward and hit her elbow against the edge of the glass display case. The pain made her suck in a sharp breath, and a surge of anger flared up within her."Anathea!" Natalie shouted, her voice shrill."Mrs. Sinclair," Anathea corrected her expressionlessly.Compared to Natalie's agitation, Anathea was ice-cold. Natalie was practically about to explode after seeing Anathea's arrogant behavior and expression.Just then, Martin walked in. Seeing him, Natalie rushed over immediately. "Martin, say something to her!"Martin was Gregory's right-hand man and usually followed Gregory's instructions. Most of the time, his stance represented Gregory's own.Anathea

Even though Anathea had tried again and again to drill it into herself to be cold-hearted, the moment she heard Cyrus' words, her heart jolted as she hurried toward Xander's room.The moment she saw Xander lying weakly in bed, Anathea tensed up and quickly moved to check on him.Though dazed with fever, Xander seemed to sense that his mother was near. He forced his eyes open.When he saw Anathea, his eyes welled up with tears. His voice had gone hoarse and faint as he struggled to speak. "Mom…"That one word tugged at Anathea's heart, and a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes."W-what should we do? He doesn't look well. Could it be something serious?" Cyrus' anxious voice snapped Anathea out of it.She didn't respond right away but glanced at the thermometer. It read 102.2°F, and there were little red rashes on Xander's arms.She understood instantly. "It's an acute allergic reaction."Anathea had taken care of him all these years. No one knew his condition better than s
