Zenith was feeling really down. He couldn't believe he hadn't even gotten a chance to participate in a competition before losing. He got home and ignored everyone in the living room, walking straight to his room."What's wrong? I thought the DNA results would be out today," Comfort Baxtar said."Isn't the boy a Baxtar? Something must be wrong," Pa Baxtar said.Reina sighed. "What a pity! I've been longing for a grandson."Frank tried to console them. "It's fine. Let's just arrange blind dates for him.""I know a few nice ladies. If Zenith agrees, I can introduce them to him," Comfort Baxtar suggested.Rosalind was the only one who felt that something wasn't right. None of these people knew that Zenith didn't want a son. All he needed was a woman.Scarlett sent a text to Zander.Scarlett: "Accompany me to eat."Zander: "Okay."Seeing that he replied to her message promptly, she was happy. Does this mean he's thinking the same thing as her? He should just ask her out already. Is that wh
Zenith couldn't believe she had hung up on him. He didn't dial the number again. Her voice was so soothing, so ethereal. Only if she hadn't gotten together with someone else. He didn't want to look petty, chasing after a woman who was taken. He wouldn't like it if someone else chased after his woman. He sighed. Maybe they weren't really fated.Yanis walked into the house and saw his mother talking to a woman. "I'm home," Yanis said. A young lady was sitting beside the older visitor. "Such a filial son. Most young men these days no longer live with their parents," the older lady said. Madam Quinn smiled. "Come here, Yanis. Meet your aunt. She is my friend, Madam Stanley," she said."Oh! Hello, aunty," Yanis said and prepared to walk to his room. Madam Quinn said, "Wait, I know you're tired, but you should be polite," she said. "This is Aunt Stanley's daughter, Maggie.""Oh! Nice to meet you, Miss Stanley," Yanis said. "What do you think of Maggie? Don't you think she is pretty, gorgeou
Zenith typed the phone number on his phone, feeling nervous. Would she pick up a strange phone call? If she picked up, what would he tell her? What would be her reaction? What if she already liked someone else? What if she hated him? He decided to set aside these questions and face the situation head-on. No matter the outcome, he was determined to confront it. He dialed the number.The call went through, and a female voice said, "Hello."Zenith felt thrilled when he heard her voice. "Hello, who is this?" Mia asked again.Zenith swallowed and said, "Are you Mia Quinn? I'm your son's father.""What?" Mia couldn't believe her ears.Mia rushed into the cafe, trying to convince herself that it must be a scam call. The shop assistant walked up to her. "Are you Mia?" he asked."Yes, I..." Mia began to respond."Please follow me," he said.Mia followed him to a private room. When she saw the person in the room, her suspicions disappeared. He looked so much like Chris that she didn't need any
~ FLASHBACK ~Making Jay popular seemed like a difficult task, as he had the looks to be in the industry, receiving many nice offers and resources. However, it wasn't easy for his manager, Cynthia. She had to deal with his lousy temper and constant scandals. On top of that, she was also managing the Bawly group, who were relatively trouble-free. Cynthia always had to find assistants who could cope with Jay's temper. Despite the challenges, the Bawly group became a lucky trio, and the band gained popularity.Within just three years, Jay climbed to the top after facing many hardships. He became very famous among girls and received numerous popularity awards. However, he hadn't received any awards for his acting skills. Many people believed he relied solely on his looks and considered him a mere vase who couldn't act. Cynthia knew better than that. Jay expressed his unfulfilled dream to her."What are you saying, Jay? Aren't you being ungrateful? You're already very popular in B-city and
Christopher BaxterChris was very happy that morning. His dad was driving the car, and he was sitting in the front seat. This was the first time a car was taking him to school, except for taxis. Maybe it wasn't so bad to have a dad.Zenith glanced at Mia, who was sitting alone in the backseat, busy browsing through her phone."Why is the school so far from our place? It's even far from my place of work," Mia complained.Zenith had chosen the school because it was the best elementary school in B-city. He always went for the best, so he hadn't considered these practicalities."Don't worry. I will arrange a chauffeur for him," he assured her.Mia sighed. Chris's father seemed to be very rich."I will give you my friend's flower shop address. Chris can stay with her until I get off work. She's his godmother," Mia said."Okay," Zenith agreed.Zenith drove into the spacious school compound. Chris and Mia looked around."Wow! My new school is big!" Chris exclaimed.Mia could tell that he was
MOVE IN WITH ME~Dorothy changed into her clothes and came out into the lobby. She saw Yanis still waiting for her, even though she had told him to leave. He had bluntly refused and insisted on waiting so they could have dinner together. She sighed and walked over to him."Didn't I ask you to leave?" she asked, frowning at him."A real man should always have it in mind that women don't say what they really mean. Such troublesome creatures, always speaking in parables..." he trailed off, realizing he had said something wrong."Except you," he quickly added.Dora shook her head. "Let's go," she said to him.Dorothy didn't underestimate herself, but she knew that marrying into a rich family would bring troubles for her. However, she liked Yanis, and being with him always gave her a kind of comfort. She entered his car, and he got into the driver's seat."Where are we going?" she asked him."To eat. What do you want to eat? Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Western?" he asked."A Japanese res
All I need is a grandson"Move in with me then. That way, you will be able to raise your son yourself. Don't worry, we will maintain our relationship. Right now, the only thing between us is Chris," he told her."I will make sure I make everything clear to my family. Come with Chris so you will be able to watch him grow. I also know how important a mother is for a child. I'm going to give you your own personal space and respect you. Trust me, Chris needs you, and I will be glad if you could raise him," Zenith added.He needed to convince her. She needed to go home with him. Who needs a son? Now he will have to share Mia's love with him! He had said inwardly.Mia hesitated at first, but when she heard Zenith's reassurances, she was convinced."Y... You can't treat my son wrong. You have to treat him well," Mia said, her voice filled with concern."Of course, I will treat him well. He's my son, after all, but it will be even better if you are around. After all, I'm always busy and on bu
Mother-in-Law in DisguiseMia entered Scarlett's shop. Chris's driver usually dropped him off at Scarlett's. Scarlett was speaking to a woman who was busy staring at Chris."Scarlett," Mia called as she entered.Chris ran to her and hugged her legs. "Mom," he greeted."My son, how are you?" Mia said, squatting down to his level."I'm fine. How's work today?" he asked."Fine, darling.""Mum, this aunt here gave me a pack of chocolates," Chris said, and Mia looked up at the woman. She looked sophisticated and was wearing a high-end dress. Just one look, and Mia knew the woman was no joke. She wore a beautiful smile."Are you this cute boy's mom?" the woman asked Mia."Yes, I am," Mia replied."Your son is so good-looking. I would have loved to matchmake him with a granddaughter if I had one, but I don't. I may have a grandson soon, though," the woman said."I just came here to get flowers for my mother-in-law. She likes them. Then I saw Chris here, and I liked him immediately," she turn
