"Well, it doesn't have to be just Michelle. This could be for you, too, right?" Cynthia turned to Daisy and smiled. She really hoped that her daughter-in-law would consider having another baby with Edward.
"It's not that easy," Daisy stammered. The truth was that Edward had already gone through the male sterilization procedure; through this, they would never have another offspring again.
"Why not? Justin looks like he really wants a younger sister. Isn't that right, Justin?" In the eyes of the elders, it would be better to have both a daughter and a son than to just have a son. Cynthia in particular was no exception to this stigma. She thought Daisy and Edward were still young that they could still have another child.
"Uh... Mom, it's really not in my plans at the moment," Daisy explained to Cynthia with an awkward smile etched on her face. They had not told Edward's parents about the sterilization, so she didn't know how else to break it to her mother-in-law.
"It's just a suggestion. No pressure," Cynthia said with a pitiful frown. She prided herself with being the considerate mother-in-law who used no force towards her daughters-in-law.
"Mommy, please have another baby. That way I wouldn't have to befriend Aunt Leena, the devil herself." Justin held Daisy's arm to plead.
"You brat! Are you speaking ill of me?" Leena's voice came from outside the room. Justin turned his head in shock and fear, seeing Kevin helping Leena into the room.
"No, I am not. You misheard me!" Justin immediately denied. 'Justin, you have to hold back your anger for the sake of a baby girl. Do not anger the vessel! Otherwise, your plan will fail, ' Justin thought to himself.
"Huh? Are you saying I'm deaf?" Leena gazed at Justin as if Justin were gazing at the abyss. 'This kid really never stops talking behind my back, ' Leena thought.
"Come on, Nana! Don't get angry! You're carrying a child." Kevin consoled his wife and rubbed his temples as a notion of resignation. Why did the odds lead to crossing paths with
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ny, but he had no intention of taking it for himself.
"You know you have to be careful, right? Edward has arranged several body guards to protect you, but you still have to know how to protect yourself," said Leena. The Ke family was a big clan, but Rain had never regarded them as his family. Leena felt bad for Rain and she didn't want him to fall under the harm of the Ke family.
"Don't worry, I know how to protect myself. Hey, eat more." Rain added more food onto Leena's bowl. He was very cold to others, but he had a soft spot for Leena.
"Rain! It's really you. What a coincidence! Who is this woman? Is she your girlfriend?" Tiana walked up to them. She was wearing fashionable designer clothes and accessories, grabbing the attention of everyone. However, as a designer herself, Leena did not appeal to her style. She just put on all the elements together without thinking of the coordination, which made her look like a mess.
"We're having dinner. We don't need you here," Rain told off the lady coldly. He would get headaches here and there because of that woman. He had asked her to delete his photos not long ago and he hadn't seen her for a while until now. He did not expect to come across her and he had hoped not to see her ever again as she was really irritating. Rain couldn't help but frown at the coincidence he was faced with.
