…Abby sat beside Chris at the dining table. It was the first time she was dining with the family. She felt a little nervous.She tried turning them down at first when she was invited over. However, Mrs. Blake had personally gone to pick her up. She didn't have a choice.Chris smiled and picked up a piece of meat for her. He was all smiles from the moment he got her back.However, Mr. Blake served her more vegetables. “Vegetables are healthy. You have to make sure that my grandchild is healthy,” he said.Mrs. Blake could not help laughing. “Some meat doesn't do any harm,” she said, turning to look at Abby. “Don't mind him. He was also always so obsessed when I was pregnant with Chris.“Abby smiled back. She was happy that the family of three had fully accepted her as one of their own. She didn't have to worry about giving birth alone or raising her child by herself.However, they had just begun eating when someone walked straight to the dining room. All the chattering died down.“Wow!
Trisha tensed up immediately. “You! You called the police?“ She asked. She feared that what she had done could have been exposed.She had come to Blake's house, thinking that she would be able to manipulate them into hiding her. She didn't expect that she would find Abby there, or worse, that she would be carrying Chris's child.Mr. Blake looked at Chris and Abby, and they both shook their heads. They hadn't called the police.The door was pushed open, and a number of police officers rushed in, armed. One of them pointed at Trisha, who was still sitting on the floor. “Arrest her,” he said.Two men rushed forward to handcuff her. All the Blakes and Abby looked on in confusion. “What happened?“ Mr. Blake asked.“Trisha, you are here under arrest for the suspected murder of John Mayor. You have the right to remain silent, or whatever you say could be used against you in a court of law,” the leader said.The others were shocked. “She killed?“ Mrs. Blake asked in fear. “No wonder she ran o
Xin immediately stopped the car at the side of the road and turned to look at Little Lion. “Were you listening?“ He asked, his voice filled with fear.Little Lion looked at him with teary eyes. “No one said I couldn't listen,” he said, a pout on his lips.Xin sighed and held his hand. He wiped away his tears and looked into his eyes. “Little Lion, I love your mommy so much. I am not going to let anything happen to her,” he said.Little Lion blinked his eyes. “Does that mean that you are going to do as great grandpa says?“ He asked.The old man had said that Xin had to do everything he asked him to do if he did not want anything to happen to his mommy.Xin quickly shook his head. “I mean that I am never going to harm her. I will keep mommy and you safe, okay?“ He said.He was feeling helpless in front of his son. He should have been more careful to make sure that he didn't hear so many things.Little Lion pursed his lips. “Daddy?“ He called. And Xin turned to look at him in shock.“Did
Little Lion paused and looked at himself. “Big Yan, do you like my dressing today?“ He asked with a smile.I couldn't help but smile back. “You look gorgeous. He sure has a taste,” I said, winking at Xin.Little Lion was dressed in a similar tuxedo, making him appear like a younger CEO.“My taste is always great,” Xin said with a smile. “Try that, and let's see what you think.“It was then that my attention went back to the dress I was holding. I looked at it again before looking at Xin. “What is the meaning of this?“ I asked, a little tense.Little Lion looked at Xin. “You haven't told her yet, right?“ He asked.And I felt more confused. “Can any of you tell me where we are going wearing these?“ I asked again.Xin put his hand in his pocket and took a step towards me. “Bella, what comes to your mind when you see such a dress?“ He asked.I pursed my lips and looked away from him. Of course, there was only one possibility. “Um, I…”“Isabel Yan, will you marry me?“ Xin asked with raised
…At around six o'clock in the morning, Xin's phone rang. He looked at the girl sleeping peacefully in his arms and smiled.He slowly pulled away, covered her, and walked to his study room.“Speak,” he said.“Boss, we found out where the woman is. She has been in the city all along,” Red Eye reported from the other end.Xin sighed and walked around the room. “Find out what she does and who she interacts with,” he said coldly before hanging up.…Old Xin had just woken up when a man rushed in. “Boss, we found out where they were yesterday,” the man said.Old Xin sipped his tea quietly for a while before looking up. “Where?“The man trembled a little. “Um, they went to the Hill Vue hotel. They were there almost the whole night,” he explained.Old Xin raised his brows. “Just staying? Did something happen?“ He asked, his voice turning a little cold.And the man bowed his head. “Boss, they got married. They were there for a wedding ceremony that had only two guests,” he said.Old Xin froze
…Immediately after Xin left, Kaycie hurriedly made a call. “Did you tell your grandson where I was?“ she asked.The person on the other side was silent for a while. Then he cleared his throat. “Did he come to find you? What does he want?“Kaycie took a deep breath. “He wants to know what happened. He wants me to explain everything to my daughter. You know that I can't see her. You have to do something about it.“The person on the other side was silent for a while again. Then he exhaled deeply. “Kaycie, what if it is actually a good thing to meet her again?“Kaycie hurriedly shook her head. “No! That wasn't part of our deal, old Xin. I left everything behind, including her. I don't have the courage to see her. I won't know what to say to her,” she said while trembling.“Kaycie. Both you and I know that some rules have to be broken. You know my grandson, right? Nothing can stop him from doing anything he wants. Sooner or later, he is going to bring her right to you. You can never avoid
…For days, I kept wondering whether it was true that my mom was still alive. That thing had eaten up my brain.“Are you okay?“ Xin asked, waving a document in front of me.I came back to my senses and looked at him. “Do you think mom had something to do with dad's death?“ I asked.Xin seemed shocked for a second. Then he pulled me into his arms. “Darling, try not to think about it now, okay? Once you meet her, she'll explain everything,” he said.I nodded my head in understanding. More than a month had passed since I learned that she was alive. Yet, until now, I hadn't gotten any information about her.“What if she never wants to talk? What if she never agrees to see me?“ I asked. That could only explain some things to me.It had been fifteen years, and she never showed up. What made us think that she would finally do it?I could feel Xin tense up a little, and I realized that he could know something I didn't. A smile appeared on my lips. “You met her already, right? She refused to s
…On Friday morning, I was feeling so tense. I had told Xin that it would be a night out for me and Abby so that he didn't suspect that I was going somewhere.“You don't look well,” Xin suddenly said as he parked the car. And I looked at him in shock.“Mmh? What do you mean?“ I asked. Could he have suspected something?He looked at me for a while before shaking his head. “You seem deep in thought. Remember that you can share anything with me, okay?“I nodded with guilt. “Of course,” I said. “I can tell you anything.“Xin sighed. “Grandpa wants Little Lion to spend the weekend at the old mansion,” he explained.I was quiet for a while before I sighed back. “Xin, I think we should let him go,” I said. And of course, I got that look of shock that I expected from him.“What?“ He asked. “You know how things are, darling. Do you really think we should? Little Lion might not even be willing to do it.“I held his hand. “Relax, honey. Little Lion is his great-grandson. He will never do anythin
