Maxwell pouted. Sonnet pushed him out of the bathroom and said, “Hurry up and go to bed. I’ll take a shower and change my clothes.” She pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door at once. Maxwell leaned on the door from outside as a charming smile formed on his lips. He then lay down on the bed. Sonnet spent some time taking a shower. She guessed that Maxwell should be asleep by now, so she came out of the bathroom. He had fallen asleep. She let out a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was already three o’clock in the morning. She sat down on the sofa and dried her hair. She dried her hair while thinking about everything that had happened tonight. It was obvious that Jim had tried to scheme against her tonight. The bowl of noodles that he had prepared for her should have been drugged. However, she had finished the bowl of noodles, and did not have any evidence of it now. How could she allow him to take advantage of her without any consequences?
“Young Miss, it’s Third Master. He insisted on coming inside!” Mrs. Wilson explained. “Third Uncle? Why are you here so early in the morning?” Sonnet asked with feigned panic. Welson Brooks sneered and said, “You’re the young miss of the family. Why did you sleep in a servant’s room? You must be having an affair with a servant!”There was an aggrieved expression on Sonnet’s face as she said, “Third Uncle, you can’t accuse me of something like that!” “In that case, uncover your sheets and show us who’s lying beside you.”“Of course…Of course, it’s Maxwell…”“Why are Second Young Master and you sleeping in a servant’s room?” “Maxwell tends to act childish. He insisted on sleeping in Jim’s room. Therefore, we exchanged rooms with Jim,” Sonnet said matter-of-factly.“Do you think that I’ll believe what you said?!” Welson waved his hand. His men surrounded the bed at once. “Will you uncover your sheets or do you want my men to do it?” Sonnet lowered her heart and remained sil
Everyone headed upstairs. They were met with the sight of Jim and Lily lying on the bed stark naked. The atmosphere got rather awkward. Welson scolded, “Hurry up and wake them up!” Sonnet asked, “Third Uncle, Jim is a servant here. Why would he send you such a video?” The room went silent as soon as she finished speaking. Marcus had a dark expression on his face as he asked, “That’s right. Third Master, what’s going on?” Welson coughed twice as an unnatural expression formed across his face. “Perhaps he thinks of me as a dependable person.” Sonnet smiled faintly and said, “Third Uncle, you really care a lot about Maxwell. You even have the contact numbers of the servants working here.” Welson’s face paled. Just then, Welson’s men woke Jim and Lily up. Both of them were stunned when they looked at their surroundings and saw how they were not wearing any clothes. Welson scolded Jim angrily, “You b*stard! How dare you send me a fake video? I almost wrongly ac
Upon arriving at the living room on the first floor, Sonnet asked Marcus, “Mr. Pine, may I know what areas you manage within the family business?” She still could not understand why Third Master Brooks wanted to scheme against her. His nephew and niece-in-law were not well off at all. Why would he try to harm them? Besides, he even came over to expose her for having an affair together with a lawyer. Marcus smiled and said, “I wanted to tell you everything after inviting you to my office, but I’ll tell you everything since I’m already here today. Old Master Brooks established a foundation for Maxwell with the aim of ensuring that he’ll be able to live the rest of his life in peace. One of the funds was meant for Maxwell’s wife. It consists of a large sum of money, with some money being transferred to his wife every month. However, this will only happen under the condition that his wife never does anything to betray Maxwell.” A serious expression appeared on his face as he said,
It sounded like someone was calling for Lindy on the other end of the call, so Sonnet hung up on the call at once. After hanging up, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Lindy for her address. She told herself that she could always ask for her address afterwards. May cast an anticipatory gaze at Sonnet the moment she arrived in Lux Club. “Miss Turner, you’re finally here.” “What’s wrong?” Sonnet asked. “Shay kept calling for you ever since he woke up today morning. He hasn’t stopped since.” Sonnet rushed to Shay’s room at once. Shay was turning the light switch in his room on and off while muttering “Aunt” repeatedly under his breath. Sonnet’s heart hurt when she saw him doing this. She immediately went to him and hugged him. “Let me hug you, Shay.” Shay finally stopped pressing the switch. He then wrapped his arms around Sonnet’s neck tightly. May said, “Shay has an intervention class today.” “Alright, let’s go right now.” Both of them brought Shay
After returning to the Brooks household, Sonnet asked Mrs. Wilson about what was going on. She then went to the security office to ask the security guards if she could look at the surveillance camera recordings. She caught sight of Maxwell not long after she left the house. Sonnet asked him angrily, “Where did you go?” Maxwell replied cheerily, “I just got acquainted with two adorable new friends. I went over to their house to play with them for a while.” He took hold of Sonnet’s hand and said, “Wifey, you’re finally back! I missed you a lot!”Sonnet could not bring herself to scold him after seeing the joyous expression on his face. “Alright, let’s go back home right now. You’re not allowed to go around on your own anymore. Mrs. Wilson was extremely worried about you!” Maxwell replied obediently, “Alright.” After returning to the Brooks household, Mrs. Wilson immediately greeted them and inspected Maxwell all over to ensure he was alright. She kept reminding him to l
Sonnet stayed by Myles’ side in the hospital for several days. She finally had time to return home once Myles’ condition had fully stabilized. The first thing Sonnet did after leaving the hospital was to give Lindy a call. Sonnet had not seen her children in a week. She missed them way too much. “Is Uncle Myles alright now?” Lindy asked on the other end of the call. The background was rather noisy. “Yes, his condition is stable right now. I’d like to visit the children. Where do you live now?” “We’re outside now. I’m playing with them in the playground!” Lindy replied. “You can come over and have dinner with us!” Sonnet met up with them in a shopping mall. The children were overjoyed when they saw Sonnet. Each of them sat on either side of Sonnet while they had their meals. Lindy got extremely jealous after catching sight of this scene. “Am I no longer important now that your mother is here?” “Aunt Lindy, we haven’t seen mom in so many days. Let us stay next to m
When Sonnet arrived home, Maxwell rushed out and embraced her at once. “Wifey, you’re finally back. I missed you so much!”He was tall and sturdy, and had a broad chest as well. Sonnet found herself being wrapped in his arms. She felt rather comfortable there.However, after a while, she pushed him away and said, “I’m sorry for only coming back after a few days.” “It’s alright. It’s alright. Dad is sick. You should stay there to look after him.” Maxwell waved his hands at once. “Is Dad feeling better now?” Sonnet raised her brow. She was stunned the moment Maxwell addressed her father as “dad”. They were a legally wedded couple now. It was right for him to call Myles his dad. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable about it. “You must be extremely tired. I’ll fill up the bathtub for you. You can take a good, long bath!” Maxwell said while turning around to head upstairs. Sonnet looked at how happy he seemed to be and felt guilty when she thought about how uncomfo
