In the Claymores' residence, William pulled over at the gate in his Porsche. He tugged his clothes and entered the living room casually.He had seen Mary's photos and could not forget her beauty and temperament.Even though Dorian had arranged for him to marry Mary because he wanted some benefits to save Claymore Group from the verge of getting bankrupt, he was still willing to do it. He even convinced his father, Roy Calcraft.After all, it was reasonable to invest some money to marry a beautiful lady.However, he saw the dejected Dorian and gloomy Shaylene when he entered.“Mr. Claymore, isn’t Mary back yet?” William frowned, displeased with what he saw.Dorian planned to explain the situation by letting William know his daughter disobeyed him.However, Shaylene stood up angrily and clenched her teeth, saying, “Mr. Calcraft, Mary doesn’t deserve you! We didn't expect her to be dating someone secretly. She even got pregnant. We were so mad when we found out. She even quarreled
Andrius and Mary knew nothing about Byron punishing Dorian.It was now late afternoon. Andrius was driving from the Northwest back to Coast City.To be precise, they had just left the outskirts. The scenery was beautiful, and Andrius drove slowly so that they could enjoy the view.“Andrius, where did you get the car? Isn’t it the hotel manager’s car?” Camelia was happy to see her daughter and Andrius in a lovely relationship.Andrius shook his head and explained, “The group specially equipped it for the hotel to welcome VIP guests. So, I took it on short notice. I will ask the people from logistics to return the car when we return to Coast City!”“Oh, it’s great. This car can definitely make Shaylene envious. It must be expensive!” Camelia had never taken a ride in a Rolls-Royce. Even when Dorian owned one once, she never sat in it. It was because she knew it was Shaylene’s.“Mom, this car is expensive. Some even cost a few million. It's not a problem for Andrius to buy one. Ho
Since Mary and Andrius were already on their early ‘honeymoon,’ Rosalie started planning her honeymoon with Byron.It was almost winter break, and the kids were free.Taking the opportunity that she was in her early months of pregnancy and could move freely, Rosalie began to pick the destination.Byron readily agreed. Since he had been dedicated to Lawrence Corporation for years, it was time to reward himself with a break from work.Of course, he had deliberately said that in front of Benedict.After all, Benedict had dumped the responsibility of the company to him when Benedict was in his 40s. Since then, he had been living a leisurely life, expecting his son to do the duties.Melody joined the conversation, suggesting a few suitable places for families with kids to travel.Suddenly, Benedict gave everyone a blow of disappointment. “Rosie, I think this is an inappropriate time to travel. After all, Gordon’s condition is uncertain!”Rosalie was startled and finally remembered a
After gathering her emotions, Rosalie started the dry-needling treatment for Gordon seriously.Gordon’s mood had also stabilized. He did not dare to look at his daughter.His complexion was better than before, no longer as yellow. Even so, he still looked yellowish.“Go to the hospital for a check-up today,” Rosalie said softly.Before Gordon could agree, Rosalie walked out of the room and ordered the maid to help him get ready.Byron approached his wife and held her tiny hand as he nodded and smiled. “You've done whatever you can. You're probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him. He's lucky to have a daughter like you.”Rosalie smiled wryly. “Yes, but I'm unfortunate to have him as my father.”After Gordon was ready, Byron and Rosalie drove him to the hospital.The series of tests took a long time to be done. However, Rosalie did not have to worry much about it.Since Mary was taking a long break from work, Rosalie called Linda in to take over her position tem
Meanwhile, Violet was in a villa in the suburbs of Coast City.Upon receiving a call from Gordon, she learned he had cancer and was about to die soon.However, Violet was only startled for a while before she scoffed. Then, she responded coldly, “Gordon, it serves you right. You deserve it!”He was silent momentarily before calmly saying, “Violet, I’m calling you today just because of one thing. Do you remember Rosie’s mother’s belongings? Please, give them back. I want to return the items to Rosie.”“Gordon, what are you talking about? I never took them!” Violet flared up.Next to her, her son, Ethan, with dark circles under his eyes, kept yawning as he asked, “Mom, who's calling?”“Your father!” Violet answered in rage.On the other end of the call, Gordon tried to negotiate humbly, “Violet, I'm dying. I hope you still have a shred of conscience. Return the items, and you can have nothing to do with me for the rest of your life!”“Gordon, let me be clear with you. I didn’t tak
Melody and Benedict asked them about Gordon’s condition back in the manor.Noticing his wife was tired, Byron told her to head upstairs to rest.Then, he told his parents about Gordon’s situation.“That's great. Rosie’s medical skills are amazing, indeed. Previously, the doctor said Gordon didn't have more than half a month. Now, Rosalie has extended his life to three months with her treatment!”Benedict praised.Melody responded calmly, “Gordon doesn’t deserve to live so long. He had such a good daughter but never appreciated her and treated her well.”Byron reminded his parents not to mention Gordon dying before the kids.Then, Benedict headed to the school to pick the kids up.When the children returned, they all wanted to talk to Mommy. However, Byron stopped them and explained, “Mommy is a little tired today. Let her sleep for a while!”The three little ones nodded obediently.After sleeping more than an hour, Rosalie woke up feeling much better.It was normal to feel e
Hearing the children’s laughter, Byron shouted from the living room downstairs, “Honey, it’s my turn! Come down quickly!”Rosalie smiled and walked down the stairs with the kids.On her birthday many years ago, Byron had accompanied Wendy instead of her.She still held a grudge over that, so she wanted to see what this man had prepared for her.Before she could see where Byron was, the lights downstairs went off, and the living room was dark."Here we go again. That’s what happened last time when you proposed!" Rosalie muttered silently, but she did not panic.The kids did not panic either. They had rehearsed it with their daddy before.All of a sudden, the ceiling was covered in stars.The living room was illuminated too.Rosalie and the little ones lifted their heads and looked at the dazzling nebula and the starry sky, which changed sequentially.It was the most beautiful sight.The starry sky felt real like they had fallen into the galaxy and were floating in it.Sudden
“Honey, happy birthday!”Byron presented the roses and opened the gift box, revealing his present.Like a star, it was a brilliant gem with a mild blue glow.“Wow, what a beautiful gem! Daddy, the star looks like it's been made with Eastern Star!”“The Eastern Star is only found in M Nation, but this looks similar. Daddy, how'd you find it? It’s very hard to find!”“Mommy, this gem is really beautiful!”Rosalie realized her husband might have gone through a lot of trouble to get her this gem from her children’s professional discussion.She felt loved and happy. She took the gem and kissed Byron.“Thanks, hubby!”Just then, the lights in the living room lit up, and someone sang the birthday song.Rosalie thought Byron had invited a professional singer to come and sing.When she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law, Melody.Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law was so good at singing. It surprised Rosalie.A second later, the maids walked out, singing along with smiles on thei
