After making the decision to marry Justin, Samantha and him began to prepare for their wedding. They chose the wedding date, selected rings, picked out wedding gowns, and had their wedding photos taken.
In order to forget about Ethan, Samantha cut off all contact with him. She didn't answer his calls or messages, and eventually, she decided to block his number and social media account.
Seeing the mark indicating the message wasn't delivered, Ethan's face turned cold. He was furious and slammed his expensive phone onto the ground, startling Jade, who was coming in with documents.
Ignoring the shattered phone, Ethan said coldly, "Go and buy me a new phone."
As Jade was about to leave, he couldn't help but turn back and say, "Mr. Steele, when I escorted Miss Miller home that night, she admitted to liking you. So, there might be some misunderstanding between you two. Instead of letting the
Samantha lowered her head, took a deep breath, and gathered her courage to speak, "Ethan, I feel like we're from two different worlds, not compatible. Please, just let me go! I know I've wronged you, I shouldn't have provoked you. I apologize for my words and actions towards you. I'm sorry..."Ethan's eyes glared fiercely at Samantha, as if he wanted to devour her alive."What did you say? Say it again!"His voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, each word uttered as if he was exerting all his restraint. As if he could strangle her the next second.Samantha could clearly feel the anger and threat in his words, but she deeply knew that if they didn't clarify things today, the two of them would only continue to pull each other apart endlessly.It wouldn't be fair to Justin, nor to Ethan.She didn't want to be a woman torn between two sides."Suzy is the biological mother of Alexander and Noah, and I have my own daughter too. The Steele family can never accept Charlotte, but I
Watching Samantha, who was already suffocating, roll her eyes, Ethan narrowed his eyes, suddenly released his grip, and with force, flung Samantha out like a rag.Ethan leisurely stood up, disdainfully clapped his hands, and said contemptuously, "It's not worth dirtying my hands for a woman like you."With that, he turned to leave.Just before leaving, unable to resist, he stopped in his tracks without looking back, his back facing Samantha. "From now on, never appear in front of me again, or I will definitely kill you."With that, he left without turning his head.This time, he left decisively, without a moment of hesitation.All the strength drained from Samantha's body, leaving her collapsed on the ground. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she watched Ethan's resolute figure.It was over.Everything wa
Justin noticed his parents' attitude and tightly held Samantha's hand, giving her a gentle smile.Samantha shook her head. She knew deep down that she was not worthy of Justin now, so the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher was understandable, and she didn't take it to heart.Justin led Samantha to sit on the sofa.Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher sat on the other sofa.Justin was the only son of the Fletcher family and had three older sisters. He had been greatly expected since childhood.However, today, none of his three sisters had come. Including their grandmother, who had always loved her and Justin very much."Uncle, Auntie, where's Grandma? Why didn't she come? Can I go see her?" Samantha asked.Mrs. Fletcher replied casually, "Grandma is not in the city."With this brief answer, the matter was settled.
Justin was afraid that his mother would say something excessive to Samantha, so he hurried downstairs.Seeing Samantha and his mother chatting and laughing, with a harmonious atmosphere, he felt relieved.When Justin came down, his mother even pretended to hold Samantha's hand affectionately, saying, "Samantha is still as sensible and obedient as before. You must treat her well in the future and not let her suffer. She has endured too much hardship over the years."These words undoubtedly accepted Samantha as their daughter-in-law.A faint smile finally appeared on Justin's gloomy face. He sat next to Samantha, holding her other hand, and solemnly promised, "Mother, rest assured, I will take good care of Samantha and make her the happiest woman in the world."Mrs. Fletcher felt uncomfortable inside, but she still smiled innocently on the surface.Samantha fel
Ethan noticed her expression and felt a sense of triumph."Mr. Fletcher, rest assured, I will personally send you the wedding invitation, and please make sure to attend," he said with a smirk.Justin smiled warmly, "Sure, of course!" Holding Samantha's hand, their fingers intertwined, he flaunted yet remained polite, "For our wedding, I also hope Mr. Steele can find the time to come."Ethan was seething with anger. His eyes fixed firmly on their intertwined hands, a fire burning in his chest.She felt a subtle undercurrent between them, and Suzy cleared her throat twice, looking at the ring on Samantha's finger intentionally. "Samantha, is that a wedding ring on your hand? It's so beautiful!"Samantha instinctively wanted to hide her hand, but it was held tightly by Justin and couldn't be pulled away. She could only laugh awkwardly without answering.Suzy, li
Jade's investigation was incredibly fast.In less than an hour, all the information had been handed over to Ethan.Ethan sat behind his desk, flipping through the documents in his hand.Suddenly, his gaze stopped on Karen's information."Karen is pregnant? And the child is Justin's?"Jade replied, "Based on the timing, it should be Mr. Fletcher's! But I can't guarantee that Karen didn't have other men during this period!"Ethan smirked, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. He closed the file with a flick of his slender fingers and said to Jade, "Bring Karen to see me!"Jade was becoming increasingly unable to understand Ethan.Just now, he had publicly announced his impending marriage to Suzy.But now he was secretly investigating Miss Samantha's fiancé.What was he think
At the moment he received the results, Justin felt like the whole world had darkened.It was pitch black.Not a trace of light could be seen.Despair emanated from within and without.Karen was really pregnant?She was carrying his child?If Samantha found out that Karen was carrying his child, she definitely wouldn't marry him.Karen, on the contrary, held onto his arm full of hope, anxiously asking, "Justin, I'm really pregnant! Don't you want our child to have a father?"Justin stared at Karen intensely.He wanted to strangle her.If she died, then all the problems would be solved.He had never disliked Karen as much as he did at this moment.He hated himself even more.Why did he have to touch Kar
Justin reached out and took Samantha's hand from her forehead to his face. His handsome face rubbed lightly against her hand as he said hoarsely, "Sammie, no matter what happens, can you promise not to leave me?"His voice was almost pleading, like a child who had done something wrong waiting for forgiveness.Pitiful yet helpless.Samantha was stunned for a moment.She didn't understand why he, who was perfectly fine, suddenly felt so insecure.It seemed to have started from that message in the afternoon."Justin, has something happened? Who called in the afternoon?"In the afternoon, after picking up Charlotte from the kindergarten, they went to the supermarket together to buy groceries and then went home to cook together.The food had just been put in the pot and was not yet cooked when Justin suddenly received a me
