"Yvonne is pregnant. It's time for you to leave the Jenkins family soon." After staying at Claude's place to rest for a week, Lexi received this message from Mary. Mary had sent several consecutive messages expressing her glee over Lexi's misfortune. Even so, Lexi simply sent a nonchalant one-word reply, which was "Congratulations." She didn't expect that Yvonne would get pregnant. Lexi smiled slightly. That was pretty good.Mary harrumphed coldly when she saw Lexi's concise message. She looked toward Yvonne. "Have you told Zach that you're pregnant, Yvonne?" Yvonne caressed her belly. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and agony at the same time. "Zach has been busy with the issue with Gem City's factory. I don't want to bother him at this moment. Plus, Mary, I cannot keep this child." Upon saying that, tears started streaming down her face. Mary was shocked. "Why not?" "It was my mistake. This shouldn't be happening. Zach and Lexi are husband and wife, no matter

On the day of Zachary's return, Lexi went back to Flowerhill Estate too. Everyone was in the living room. Yvonne sat in her wheelchair, feeling a little uneasy, while Martha looked upset. Yvonne didn't know how things would unfold. Bella picked up her cup and took a few sips calmly. Mary, on the other hand, was tempted to speak up. However, Bella shot her a look to silence Mary. Zachary massaged the area between his brows. He really never thought that Yvonne would get pregnant."Grandma." "What are you going to do about this?" Martha looked at Zachary calmly. "I'll leave this to you to decide this time. I won't interfere. After all, I can't watch over all of you for much longer." Yvonne looked pale. She glanced toward Zachary with her reddened eyes, bit her lip, and didn't make a sound. Lexi was undisturbed, considering how she was already divorced from Zachary.She hoped that she would no longer be associated with Zachary and Yvonne from today onward. Zachary t

"Mary, apologize," Martha demanded angrily.Mary, under Martha's stern gaze, looked defiant. After all, she hadn't said anything wrong.Bella, understanding her daughter well, squeezed her hand in warning and urged, "Apologize to Mr. Quall now.""Not to me. Have her apologize to Lex," said Claude, his previously cold demeanor softening."My granddaughter is rather unruly. Please don't mind her, Mr. Quall," said Martha with a wry smile.Meanwhile, in the study upstairs, Zachary warned Lexi, "Lexi, Claude is a dangerous man. You'd better stay away from him. He's not as easygoing as he seems."Lexi's expression remained indifferent when she retorted, "That's my business, not yours, Mr. Jenkins. Can we now consider our six-month contract null and void?"Zachary rubbed his temples and replied coolly, "It's void."As she turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed her arm."Is there something else I can help you with?" she asked with a frown. "Mr. Jenkins, let go of me. Please show some re

By the roadside, at Flamed BBQ, Lexi was engrossed in her meal.Served in front of her was a sharing platter loaded with brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, and sausages.Claude picked up a sausage and placed it on her plate, saying, "Are you still mad? You like sausages, so have some.""If I want to eat any sausage, I can take it myself," she replied while looking at him, her red lips even more vibrant due to how spicy the hot sauce was.His eyes darkened slightly before he said, "I want to offer you my sausage."As soon as he said this, the students at the next table stifled their laughter. Lexi's face, already flushed, turned an even deeper shade of red."Eat your food properly and stop talking nonsense," she warned him quietly."I'm not taking nonsense," he said, his handsome face serious as he picked up another sausage and offered it to her. "Here, have my sau—"She quickly shoved a piece of brisket into his mouth and demanded, "Shut up."Claude laughed and chewed the brisket,

Lexi carried the groceries home."Lexi, why took you so long? If you hadn't come back soon, I was going to call someone," said Cade as he took the bag of groceries and walked into the kitchen with the help of his cane."Well, I took my time."She glanced at the clock on the wall, her face turning red. She had been held up in the car for an hour."The weather is so hot and stuffy today. I'll go take a shower first."From the kitchen came the sounds of Cade boiling water and washing vegetables.Meanwhile, Lexi went to take a shower, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. After she finished, she saw a message from Gwen.She wrote, "Lexi, it's so lonely eating alone. Can I join you for dinner tonight?"Lexi smiled and replied, "You're always welcome. Come over!"Gwen sent a blowing kiss emoji and wrote, "Lexi, do you know how funny Claude is? He won't let me call you Lex. He's so domineering."Lexi was speechless for a moment. She hadn't known about this.Anyway, she played along and
