Olivia brought the kids home, and Mason was happy about it.After facing problems in the household, the kids brought him hope. He was so happy that he had softened his edge toward Ethan.Indeed, Mason couldn't forgive what Ethan had done in the past. However, the wholesome picture of Ethan and the kids together wavered Mason's resolution.As an experienced man, Mason understood that harmony was important within a family. Fame was the goal during the younger days, but when one grew older, the focus would shift to happiness and one's family. On the dining table, Mason didn't only fill the kids' plates but Ethan's too. Ethan was taken aback by the pleasant surprise considering how overt Mason's hostility was before this.Molly couldn't shift her gaze away from the kids, her eyes teeming with envy and warmth. Yale knew that she was thinking about their baby again and filled her plate with her favorite dishes.In the past, the Heath residence appeared to be the epitome of desola
Connor took after Ethan the most. He was sensitive and gentle yet bashful.Olivia caressed the back of Connor's head. "Baby, this is your home now. We're your family. You can do anything you want. No one will blame you."As soon as she said that, the insensible Zack breezed into the room and jumped onto the bed. "Connor, save me!"Huffing, Alicia grabbed Connor's arm. "Connor, you gotta help me! Zack is the bad guy!"The kids messed around, and Connor gradually warmed up to them.At the end of the day, Zack and Alicia slept beside Connor—one on his left, one on his right.Connor was so tired from all the play. The sight of them sleeping together elicited a warm smile from Olivia.She lay next to Willow, who naturally curled into her embrace. The warmth in her arms filled her chest with bliss.Everything was perfect.Late at night, Olivia felt an arm sliding beneath her legs. The next second she knew it, she was lifted into someone else's arms.The smell of alcohol alone was e
People were getting busy as New Year's was just around the corner, except Olivia. All she did was keep the kids company.Thanks to Olivia, Molly showed much progress in her recovery. Now that the restriction was lifted, she could head outside.Olivia felt like she was nannying five kids. Molly followed by her side. "Olivia, this dress is perfect for Willow."Although Molly had it tough, the Kingstons weren't that harsh to her when it came to materials. Yale had always been generous to her.When she returned to the Heath family, the elderly couple showered her with love and gave her a lot of money.Olivia's gaze swept across the bags Kelvin and the bodyguards were carrying. "I think it's enough. Even if I give birth to another ten kids, they won't be able to wear them all."Molly chuckled. "You can give birth to another ten kids? How nice!"Molly's obsession with kids had Olivia place a hand over her forehead. "Aunt Molly…""I know what you're going to say. I'm alright. It's
Lisa crouched, picking up the shattered pieces of what used to be a bowl. Krystal, yet to be appeased, gave Lisa a kick. "I had enough of you! Do you know who I am? How could you make me this kind of trash?"Lisa's eyes remained fixated on the mess. This wasn't the first time. Krystal had been throwing tantrums these days, always getting angry all of a sudden. Lisa's patience had reached its limit. "The food you call trash is the chicken that fed on grains and ran around the mountain all day long. It's organic food. I specially used expensive morels to brew you chicken soup. "Our circumstances are nowhere near the Heaths, but you have better food and clothes than the average person. Just what is not enough?""It's not only our circumstances. You're nowhere as good as my mother's toe. It's all because of you, you witch! Why did you do that back then? My parents hate me now. They used to love me so much. Linus too. He…" Krystal rambled on and on.Her rant was on a loop every s
Lisa charged at Alban, and a fight broke out. She called for her brother, Angus Walker.Angus, who was in the next room, wanted to go out. His wife, who was doing her nails, pulled him back. "What are you going out for? Alban's venting the emotions he's been bottling up. You might be beaten up as well if you go out there.""She's my sister. We're able to come this far thanks to her. You couldn't have worn expensive clothes if not her.""What a joke. As you said, we were able to come this far thanks to her. Yes, life was good the past few years, but what about now? We have houses in the city and money, but we can't use them at all. "How long do we have to hide here? Lisa has offended someone we shouldn't mess with. If it wasn't for her, although we might not be that well-off, we wouldn't need to live this kind of life."Standing by the door, Lisa overheard everything Terra said. Who would've guessed that this was the very same person who always welcomed Lisa with a bright smil
This side of Yale was foreign to Krystal. Even during the time he treated her well and smiled at her, it was different from the way he smiled at Molly.This was genuine love. Even from his eyes, she could tell that he was smitten.It was as though Molly was a fragile doll. He genuinely cared for her, afraid that she might slip or fall at any time.It was completely different from the facade he showed Krystal.The cold revelation struck her, and a chill ran up to her from her feet. Her face was void of color.Even a fool knew what kind of person Yale was. It turned out he had never once loved her.His years of pursuit were simply a means to get acquainted with the Heath family. Linus and Mason had tried to talk sense into her, but her head was teeming with ideas to take revenge on Ethan. Their advice was like water off a duck's back.Finally, she realized how foolish she was. Considering how Yale was willing to relinquish everything he had in the Kingston family for Molly,
Olivia had brought her kids back, and the Heaths had managed to find their biological daughter. The two happy occasions gave Mason the reason to organize a party for them to reveal that Molly was his daughter, not Krystal. The prominent figures in the circle received an invitation.At that moment, Olivia received a call from Warren.It had been a long time since she last contacted him. She vanished in thin air after bringing significant meaning to his world, leaving him lovesick.Even his mother kept reminding him how nice Olivia was, telling him not to miss his chance.Warren clearly knew the bloody grudges between them. If Olivia found out that he was the person who had killed Mona, she would be enraged.He understood that very well, but the moment he fell for her, there was no stopping him.He stared at their chat history, his mind replaying the moments they spent together. He knew that he had fallen hard for her.Olivia had been aloof to Warren these days. That was wha
Something was holding Warren back from blurting the truth. Instead of forcing him to speak up, Olivia withdrew her hand from his. "If it puts you in a tough spot, you don't have to say anything. Let's dig in. I gotta go soon.""Olivia, I…" As if he had made an important decision to speak up, he paused momentarily. "Olivia, a friend of mine works for a mysterious organization. He received a message just recently.""A mysterious organization? What's that?" She feigned ignorance."Some sort of a national assassination organization. They'll do everything for money. Killing, for example.""Assassins?" Olivia's expression changed tremendously as though she was reminded of something horrible."Don't be afraid." Warren knew that the night she had the preterm delivery plagued her like a demon. "I won't let anyone hurt you.""What kind of message was it?""He was ordered to kill someone.""And that's me, isn't it?" Olivia managed a helpless smile. "I'm used to this. This is not the fir
