The next day, Ethan woke up with a pounding headache, a classic hangover feeling like his head was about to explode. Leaning against the bedpost, he closed his eyes and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.
At that moment, the door creaked open, and in popped Alexander's little head, sweetly smiling at Ethan, "Daddy, are you awake?"
Ethan opened his eyes, spotted Alexander, and his gaze softened unconsciously. He couldn't help but wave to him.
Alexander strolled in with a cup of tea, "Daddy, I heard from the butler that you got drunk last night. So, I specially made this tea for you. Drink it quickly, and your head won't hurt anymore."
Whenever Mommy came back from a night out, he would prepare peppermint tea in advance at home.
Surprised, Ethan looked at him, "Since when did you know how to make tea?"
Alexander pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes bright, "For Daddy, I learned it on purpose."
Ethan's heart suddenly warmed, softenin
Ethan didn't ask questions, stood up, and walked upstairs, entrusting Alexander to Kilian and Ellena.Anna followed Liam upstairs and locked the study door. Without wasting any time, she took out her phone, opened the photos, and got straight to the point, "Who is this woman? Why is she in this house?"Ethan began to speak, but Anna anticipated his response, cutting him off, "Don't tell me she's the cook! I had someone investigate her. She's Suzy's half-sister from the same father but different mother. Four years ago, she got pregnant out of wedlock and was kicked out of the Miller family."Ethan's pupils sharply contracted, and a coldness appeared in his narrow eyes upon hearing this. Learning that they had privately investigated Samantha triggered an inexplicable anger within him.Sensing his anger, Anna was momentarily stunned, a mix of shock and awe rising within her.To her surprise, her son was angry at her for a woman other than Jessica. Thi
In the hospital room, after an emotional moment with three generations of family members, Grandpa Miller grabbed Samantha's hand and happily said, "Sammie, do you have time tomorrow?"Samantha guessed his intention and asked, "What do you want to do?"Grandpa Miller grinned and said, "Grandpa asked a friend to find a man for you. He may not be wealthy, but he looks handsome, has a stable job, and a steady income. Go meet him tomorrow.""Grandpa..." Samantha helplessly exclaimed.Grandpa Miller's eyes turned red, and he pretended to wipe away tears, saying, "I am already old, and I may not have many days left. The biggest wish of my life is to see you settle down and have someone take care of you. This way, even if I die, I can rest in peace."For these four years, he had been constantly thinking of his granddaughter.If it weren't for this belief supporting him, he would have gone to find his wife long ago."If I can't see my precious granddaughter settle down, I really can't die in p
Alexander played wildly all day, and on the way back, he fell asleep in the car.Ethan gently carried him back to the room and covered him with a blanket.After returning to his own room, Ethan took a shower and lay in bed, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.Unable to resist, he picked up his phone and checked it.Empty.No messages.He tossed the phone away disappointedly, feeling inexplicably irritated, not even sure what he was expecting.After a while, the phone 'dinged' with a sound.He picked up the phone at the fastest speed and checked the message.It was an advertising message.The anger in his heart flared up even more.He opened Whatsapp, found Samantha's cha
Starbucks.As it was still morning, the café wasn't crowded. Samantha quickly spotted the man sitting by the window, wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He held a bouquet of roses, had short hair, a slender figure, and was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, giving the impression of fragility, like someone who might run away with the wind.When Samantha saw him, he also noticed her. A hint of amazement was clearly visible in his eyes. Adjusting his tie, he stood up to greet her, offering the bouquet of roses, "This is a gift for our first meeting. I didn't know what women like, and the salesperson said women like roses, so I bought roses, hoping you'd like them."Samantha did not reach out to take the roses. Instead, she asked tactfully, "Do you know the meaning of roses?"The man shook his head.Samantha smiled and said, "The meaning of r
Ethan's chest felt like it was set on fire.Burning all the way to his ears.He pushed Samantha away, suppressing the chaotic thoughts, and coolly uttered three words, "You're not worthy."Without looking back, he walked away.Leaving Samantha with a cold and aloof figure.But only he knew that his thoughts were already in disarray, and deep inside, there was an imperceptible sense of joy.However, Samantha had no intention of letting him go. She caught up, took his hand, and smiled, "Let me tell you, today I was planning to have coffee with Aaron, then watch a movie, have lunch, take a stroll in the afternoon, and after dinner, take another walk before heading back. You've suddenly disrupted all my plans. If you don't accompany me, I won't let you leave."Ethan didn't stop walking, firmly refusing, "Impossible."Samantha quickly explained, "Even if you don't agree to be my boyfriend, you should at least go through today's plans and activities with me, right?"Ethan paused and looked
Sarah sat on the side, watching as Suzy's face twisted into a terrifying grimace. Sarah crouched down, picked up the phone that had been thrown to the ground, and opened it.Her eyes squinted suddenly, almost biting her silver teeth.With a fierce expression, she said, "If I had known it would be like this, I should have killed her and her damn mother together back then."Suzy, with red eyes, shed tears continuously."Samantha did it on purpose. She doesn't want me to be happy, wants to snatch my man away. Otherwise, with so many men in the world, why does she have to seduce my man?"Sarah came over to Suzy's side, gently patting her back to comfort her."Don't get angry! Leave it to me!"After saying that, she took a screens
Samantha was genuinely startled to see him."You... how did you end up here?"Did he see everything just now?Justin, trembling with jealousy and anger, pointed in the direction Ethan had left, gritting his teeth, "Is he your husband?"After seeing the picture Karen sent him during the day, he dropped everything to find out what was going on with Samantha.However, except for the company, he discovered he had no way to contact Samantha and didn't know where she worked.Helpless, he could only wait downstairs.Finally, he waited for her to come back, only to see her passionately kissing another man.God knows how painful he felt at that moment.He wished he could rush over and separate them.Samantha hesitated for a moment, then unhesitatingly pulled Ethan out to use as a shiel
Justin woke up with a sigh.Looking at Karen lying beside him, his expression was calm and indifferent. There was no trace of the panic and guilt from the first time. He sat up slowly, putting on his clothes methodically.Karen was awakened by his slight movements, crawling to the edge of the bed, she embraced him from behind."You're awake? Why don't you sleep a bit longer?" Her voice was hoarse from the intense cries of the previous night.The first time they had been intimate was when Justin was drunk. Last night, he was completely sober. Just this fact alone made her overjoyed.Justin, with an emotionless face, said, "There's still work at the company. I have to go and deal with it."His indifference made Karen's body stiffen for a moment.After buttoning the last button, Justin brushed off her hand and stood up. "Rest well. I'm leavi
