Carol's cooking skills were really impressive. As soon as they tasted the soup she made, any gloom in their hearts, caused by Eleanor, vanished."This soup must be a specialty from Verde City, right?" Natalie had tried making them before, but failed. The last time Bianca went back to Verde City, she went straight to the tea house she and Natalie used to frequent and had this soup. It was evident that Bianca really liked them. She never expected to find this taste in Simeria."The master knew you liked them, so I made sure to learn the recipe," Carol said before Curtis could speak.Bianca glanced at Curtis. "Anyway, it's just food. I'll eat whatever."Implicitly, she meant not to trouble themselves so much!But Curtis replied, "Being able to eat what you like can really improve your mood. It's different from just eating anything."Bianca fell silent.But this was really too much effort. No wonder Carol had to wake up at four in the morning, stew the meat for the oatmeal, and th

So, how did any of that compare to what Cedric was enduring now?Natalie glanced at the elegant watch on her wrist. "If you have nothing else to say, Mr. Johnson, you can leave now. Go back and cherish what you're about to lose!" With a smirk, Natalie rose, her satisfaction evident.And Cedric just watched her. His chest felt like it had been torn open and was bleeding.Natalie's departure was graceful yet icy."Cedric, don't blame me at this point. You and Irwin are both despicable people to the core.""...""People like you have no right to hate anyone."With that, Natalie left!What kind of relationship existed between Irwin and Cedric? Their attitude toward her was nothing short of a joke.As Cedric watched Natalie's disappearing figure, he wanted to say something but found himself speechless.His phone buzzed. It was Irwin. "Hello?""The situation might be worse than you think," Irwin said with equal seriousness.The news Cedric received now was already dire. But

Bianca looked at Malcolm as if she was staring at a fool. After all, the Malcolm she knew wouldn't do something like this. But now? Malcolm saw Bianca's strange expression and felt a rising tension in his heart. "What's wrong?""Are you okay?" Bianca asked. She even reached out and touched the man's forehead, treating him like a fool.Malcolm was speechless, and his anger started to boil!Bianca tried to open the car door to get out, but the next moment, she felt a force on her wrist as Malcolm held her tightly."I'll handle everything. I know there's no turning back with Nancy's situation, but I'll sort out the mess with Seraphine!"Malcolm's tone softened when he mentioned Nancy. Bianca turned back, looking somewhat surprised at Malcolm. She pursed her lips without saying a word, but her silence made Malcolm's heart leap into his throat."I promise there won't be such incidents in the future!" Malcolm said.Bianca frowned. She clearly felt that Malcolm seemed like a differ

Natalie took a deep breath. "If he finds out later about something he doesn't know now, things will spiral out of control!"So, whether Bianca wanted this child or not, Natalie thought that Malcolm should at least know about it.And when Bianca heard this, her heart felt a bit choked up. She had to admit Natalie was right. "Okay, I'll do as you say.""After all, we're all adults here.""Yeah."Bianca understood.-Meanwhile, Malcolm, upon returning to the villa, went straight to Seraphine.Since she arrived, Malcolm had never sought her out, but now her face was all smiles."You finally agreed to see me," she said.Though they had been living under the same roof for days now, Malcolm had always avoided her.It was a rare sight for him to seek her out!Malcolm said, "Speak. What are your terms?"Seraphine hesitated.At his words, her face paled a bit, and she looked at Malcolm. "What do you mean by terms, Lord Malcolm?!"What terms?Was he trying to drive her away? Was

The atmosphere, already tense and icy, became even more charged with danger as Bianca remained steadfast in her resolve. Malcolm's gaze bore down on her oppressively, as if he could somehow will her to comply. However, Bianca remained unfazed."Not possible?""That's right, it's not possible!" Bianca's tone was resolute.Malcolm's eyes flashed dangerously."If anything happens to the child in your belly, I'll make sure everyone around you pays the price!"All eyes in the cafe turned towards them. Seraphine, who had originally thought Bianca was trying to seduce Malcolm, now watched with shock and confusion. Bianca was pregnant...!What about her? What was she going to do?The sound of water splashing and the cup hitting the table echoed as Bianca threw the water from her cup at Malcolm without hesitation. Her anger was palpable.Malcolm watched her with a dark intensity, his eyes filled with a menacing gloom. Bianca grabbed her bag and stormed towards the exit. "Stop right
