"No, Mrs. Sinclair Senior. Don't worry." Anathea shook her head. She'd always kept bad news from Brisa."That's good to hear."Brisa nodded in satisfaction, speaking earnestly. "Actually, Gregory does care about people. Maybe it's because he was on his own before the age of ten; it left some psychological scars. "After he returned to the family, he's never been good at expressing himself. But he's not a bad person. Then there's that incident from six years ago. That truly affected him."Brisa didn't continue. After all, everyone silently agreed that the culprit behind that incident was Adam.Anathea's fingers clenched for a brief moment."But honestly, Gregory was really looking forward to having a child with you back then," Brisa added.Anathea said nothing. If he'd really been looking forward to it, he wouldn't have said what he had when she'd told him she was pregnant. And he wouldn't have been completely absent when she'd given birth.Brisa didn't know what Anathea was thi

Charlotte was stunned.Even Anathea was surprised.Xander turned around, seeing Anathea. His eyes brightened, and he immediately ran over to her. "Mom!"Then, he pouted and complained, "Aunt Charlotte keeps saying all kinds of weird things, so I got upset."Anathea turned to look at Charlotte.Charlotte smiled guiltily. "I was just making casual conversation. You don't mind, do you?"At that, Anathea replied calmly, "You and your husband have been trying for children for years. You prayed to every god there is, tried every remedy, and even drank a boy's urine—""Alright, stop right there! What's wrong with you?" Charlotte shouted, her face flushed red with embarrassment."I was also just making a casual conversation. You don't mind, do you?" Anathea said.Charlotte went from red-faced to pale-faced, then red again, before leaving in defeat."Yes! She finally left!" Xander cheered and grabbed Anathea's hand. "Mom, don't get too close to her. She's awful!"Anathea looked at th

Anathea didn't quite catch what Gregory said. She only saw him reject Edward's call using one hand. Then, he gently lifted her chin and kissed her lips again.Anathea felt as though a weight had lifted off her chest as she responded to his kiss.Maybe… this would be the last time. Once everything settled, they'd go their separate ways.She wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, as if saying goodbye to the chaos of the one-sided love she once had.Gregory didn't close his eyes. Instead, he looked at her soft and serene face as it slowly flushed with a faint blush. He noticed a single tear hanging from her lashes as she closed her eyes, and the corners of his own eyes turned red.Back when Anathea loved him, he’d locked himself inside his hatred and refused to feel a thing. It wasn't until he'd truly lost her that he was filled with regret.Now that he liked Anathea—in fact, he believed it might be more than just liking—he wanted to tell her that he probably loved her. But unfo

"That's impossible!"Anathea clutched the hem of Gregory's coat. "Gregory, I—"Suddenly, the door was pushed open. It was Charlotte. "What? Ten weeks?"She looked as if she'd just uncovered something explosive, pointing at Anathea. "No wonder your belly isn't showing! You're not 13 weeks pregnant as you claimed! Oh my god! This baby isn't even yours, is it, Gregory?"Anathea's face went pale for a second.If she was only ten weeks pregnant now, that would mean she'd gotten pregnant after she left Castenea. During that time, she and Gregory hadn't seen each other at all, which meant the baby couldn't be Gregory's. But how was that possible?Anathea said, "I still have my previous test results—""You faked those!" Charlotte shouted, cutting her off."You obviously hooked up with some random guy and still had the nerve to pretend the baby belongs to Gregory! This is outrageous! Gregory, why are you still protecting a woman like her—""Shut the hell up!" Gregory roared, silencing

Did Gregory just take Anathea and leave?Right after that, Charlotte got a call from Eleanor. She quickly answered, "Eleanor, I did everything just like you told me to.""Good," said Eleanor in satisfaction."But Anathea seems to have caught on. She refuses to do the paternity test no matter what," Charlotte added guiltily.Eleanor chuckled. "She's got some sense of caution. But things have already reached this point. Whether she does it or not doesn't matter anymore. Come to the Sinclair residence. We've already set the stage; we're just waiting for you now. Once it's done, there'll be plenty of benefits in it for you.""Alright!" Charlotte replied.…The Rolls-Royce cruised through the rain. Outside the car, the downpour intensified. Sheets of rain pounded against the windows. Even through the glass, the whooshing sound of the storm was audible. The water streaks on the windows had grown from thin rivulets to a full curtain of rain.Moisture leaked in through the window tha
