"Drive." The boy said with a cold voice and the driver started the engine. Ten minutes ago, when the little boy rolled down the car window, he saw that a boy similar to his face went into a bakery so, he commanded to stop the car and watched them from far away.
And he usually cool aura turned into a gloomy one. He couldn't stand seeing their heartwarming behavior, so, he just decided to go back home.
"Liam, you are back." Liam Carson regretted coming back home when he heard the voice.
"Aunt Xiao has been waiting for you to come back and I prepared some chocolate cake for our Liam." Although Liam didn't greet her back, she didn't get angry and just tried to pester him.
Liam always knows that Sarah Xiao, his father's fiancée, is annoying and she would be his step mother after she married to his father but until now, she is not his step mother. And although Liam was also a smart person, he couldn’t understand the two adults.
Why his father hasn't marry her yet or why this woman is very clingy on his father when his father only gives her a cold shoulder. And it was okay if the woman is only clingy on his father but later, her direction turned to him and she pretended that she could be the best mother in the world if his father marries her.
Liam was okay at first with her existence beside his father but when Sarah Xiao tried to use him, he became dislike her. He dislikes fake people with hypocrite face. And he became angrier when his father was not at home but he let the woman to get into the house who is very noisy.
So, he went upstairs with a sullen face and got into his room and just locked himself. He lay on the bed and thought that he wanted a mom, a real caring mom, not like Sarah Xiao who is pretending to be a good mother.
And he also wandered why he doesn't have a mother. He asked his father about that but his father just kept silent. And he realized that his father is more persistent than him, so he gave up the idea of asking him where is his mother. And he fell asleep gradually.
In the evening, Edward Carson came back from the company and as soon as he stepped into the house, the maids told him that his son has locked the door and he looked like he was upset since he came back from outside.
And Edward asked the driver but the driver couldn’t recall anything so, he just answered that there was nothing wrong with his ride to the park.
So, Edward just took the spare key to his son's room and opened it. When he approached his son on the bed he saw that he was having a nightmare. Liam was sweating and he was in a heat too. So, Edward immediately told the maid to call the doctor. And when he looked back at his son, he noticed that he was mumbling something.
Edward couldn't hear clearly so he bent down and listened carefully. And an emotion of guilt covered his heart. It was his fault that he couldn't give his son a complete family. Edward realized that although his son, Liam, acted like he didn't care for family affection, he still called 'mom' in a daze. And he felt helpless about that too since he couldn’t make someone as his mother easily.
He always thought that Sarah Xiao would be the best candidate to become his mother but he couldn't accept her. Ever since, he had make out with the woman that night, he couldn't accept another woman. And even he is in his needs, he just thought about her body and her moans. And he couldn’t even understand himself that why he couldn't accept another woman anymore.
After a few minutes, a doctor came in examined Liam, and he give him some liquid medicine. Edward fed the medicine to his son personally and he coaxed his son to sleep again. Liam leaned on his father and asked, "Dad, where is my mother?"
Ethan just sighed and rubbed his hair dotingly, "Haven't we make it clear? Daddy have promised you that I will tell you when you are old enough to listen to it."
"Why can't you just tell like that?" Liam pouted.
"Okay, don’t think about that anymore. Sleep early, so that you don't need to take the medicine anymore."
"I am not afraid of taking the medicine but I like it."
"Why?" Edward was confused.
"Because it has strawberry flavor."
"Then why don't you just drink strawberry juice? "
"Because they are different. Anyway, I won't explain you anymore. You won't understand it. I am going to sleep." And Liam got out from his arms and lay on the pillow and turned his back to his father.
Edward was speechless. But he kept his company and he only left him after he made sure that Liam has fallen asleep.
But he regretted the idea of coming back to his room. He thought that he should just sleep in his son's room when he saw the woman with a lingering on his bed.
"Edward, are you tired? Let me message your shoulder." Sarah said with a seductive voice but Edward wasn't turn on. Instead of that he felt disgust.
"Miss Xiao, please wear something and leave the room." He said with a straight face,
"Edward, I am your fiancée and it is normal to have some close relationship before the marriage." Sarah got up from her sexy posture on the bed and she stepped to him seductively, step by step.
"Ethan, I would have thought that you can't do that kind of thing if I haven't seen your son who is identical to your face." And she pulled his neck tie and tried to make him angry. She is tired of his straight and cold face. She need some reaction even if it is just an anger.
But the man didn't get angry and grabbed her two hand, put a bathrobe on her body and pushed her out of the room. "Do you think that I would be interested in you when my son got treatment just a few minutes ago and how could you not feel guilty when he locked himself after you have annoyed him and he even needed to lock himself.
Sarah Xiao didn't expect for this result so, she couldn't keep herself calm anymore and she said with a vicious face, "Edward Carson, I have done everything to please you and I could even accept Liam just for your sake. Do you think that I would give up that easily? Believe it or not, I will everything to get you."
"Mommy, where are we going?" The little Larry asked while glancing out of the window when he noticed that it was not their way back home."I am taking you to see Uncle Morris. He is a very kind hearted man and mommy is sure that you would like him as soon as you see him." Ruby replied and rubbed her son's hairs dotingly.This afternoon, she got a call from her uncle that he wants to invite her for dinner. And moreover, he also told her to bring her son. And Ruby was glad to hear that because this was the first time that her uncle let her to bring her son.Because, her uncle was an old fashioned man and he didn’t like the idea of having children before marriage. Although, Ruby got Larry to save him, he didn't know that Ruby got this child because of surrogating. And Ruby didn't tell him either. He only knows that while Ruby was abroad to finish her studies, she accidently got pregnant and came back home and that's why Uncle Morris doesn't like Larry that much.Soon, the taxi arrived at
Ruby cried all her way back to home. Although, she endured every time, she couldn't hold back this time. Why life is so hard on her? Hasn't she suffered enough?Why she had to be the one who always have to suffer? And Lucy was obviously the one who borrow the money but why should she pay back the money? And they took all her hard earned money.She had been working hard ever since Larry was three months old because her little Larry has a poor health since he was born and his medical expenses cost a lot. And she didn't get any help from anyone. Everyone pretended that they couldn't see her hardship.But she was still okay that they didn’t hand any helping hand but her aunt and her cousin couldn't stop their bully until now. She thought that after she helped them with the money that she got from becoming a surrogate, they would be grateful towards her but she didn’t expect that they would just simply forget about her kindness and continued to treat her as an enemy.Ruby felt so heartbrok
"Mommy." The little Larry run towards Ruby as soon as he sees his mother. And he jumped up and hugged her immediately."Are you a little boy? Why do you always act like that?" Although Isabella said like that she still caressed his son's head lovingly. The little Larry put his head on her mother's shoulder and mumbled, "Because your son has been missing you all day at school.""Haha. You really have a very sweet mouth. But tell me, you listen carefully to the teacher's lecture. Right?""Of course, mommy. Larry is a good boy." And the little boy looked at his mother to plant a kiss on her cheeks but he saw the swollen eyes, he felt like the world has collapsed."Mommy, what happened? Why are you crying?" He gently touched his mother's face.Ruby thought that lying to him is meaningless. After all, her son is extremely intelligent. So, she just admitted directly, "Mommy has two news and one is good and one is bad.""Then what is the good thing." Larry asked with hope in his eyes.Ruby s
"Hello Miss Xiao." The secretary at the front desk on the president floor got up and greet Sarah Xiao immediately as soon as she saw her coming out from the elevator.Sarah Xiao always loves that kind of special treatment to her. Everyone in the company knows that she is the fiancée of Edward Carson. So, everyone treats her with respect and Sarah Xiao was so proud to be the woman who everyone in the company envy of."So, is brother Edward having special guests?" She asked putting her luxurious handbag on the counter. And that lead the secretary to look at her bag with widen eyes. After all, every girl loves those expensive bags but not everyone gets the chance to see those in real not to say buying them. Sarah Xiao was proud to see the little secretary's reaction."No, Miss Xiao, president is just discussing something with assistant Mike.""Okay, then I am going to send this lunch box to brother Edward and make sure that no one would come and disturb our happy moments." Sarah Xiao fin
"Miss Xiao, why did you tear off the papers? I had to use a lot of connections just to get this information." Mike got up from the bed and reached to Sarah Xiao's side.Sarah Xiao suddenly acted like pitiful and said, "Assistant Hu, have you already read her personal information?"Mike was confused with her question, "Of course, I have read it since I am the one who collected this information.""Then, you have already known that Ruby James kept another son, right? What I want to say is that you shouldn’t take away a child from his mother's embrace forcefully. And don’t you think that she would be so pitiful when she loses both of the children that she had carried for nine months?"Sarah Xiao sneered in his mind when he saw that Mike was hesitating. Sure enough, Mike could be deceived easily. Then, Mike took the file and he checked it."Then how about the evidences that she once saved Mr. Carson when she was just a little girl from an orphanage?"Sarah shook her head gently and said, "
"Look at that girl. I think she is the most suitable for the female lead position." A girl whispered to her friend."But how can you decide that just by her singing skill?" Her friend didn't have the same thought with her."But look carefully at her. She is not only good at singing but the expression on her face looks like the real female lead has come out.""But I heard that the audition team has already decided for the female lead. And I think I saw Miss Miya Feng, who is very popular at the moment. Even if this girl is good at acting and singing, she won't be chosen.""Tsk! Tsk! You are really stupid. Do you think that I guess just depend on her acting skills? Look at our director, he looked like he was looking at his idol. Don't you know that although the director is young, his skills are better than those who have a lot of experiences and he also has a mysterious yet strong background.""Really? What you said is also possible, if the director is powerful, the talent actors could
"Larry, mommy cut some fruits for dessert. Why don’t you come and have it?" Isabella walked out from the kitchen with a plate of sliced fruits in her hand."Yes, mommy. I am coming." Larry put down the phone where he was reading the project plan of launching the new mobile phone that use the latest software technology that he invented a few months ago.At the time Larry come out and sat down at the coach to enjoy the fruit dessert, Ruby's phone suddenly rang.She looked at the caller ID and frowned because it was Lucy's phone number and she felt like why would she bother to call her when she pointed those hooligans to her company to pay back for her debt?But at the end, she still picked up the call, "Hello, is this Miss James speaking?""Yes, it's me." Ruby was confused because the one who was talking at the other end is not Lucy but a strange man voice."Your cousin, Miss Lucy James is drunk and throwing tantrum at night sky club. Could you please come and take her home?" The other
The sun rays shone on Ruby's face and it was the only thing that wake up her exhausted body from the deep sleep. Ruby wasn't very comfortable since she had to woke up with a splitting headache.When she turned her head to the direction of the light, she saw a man smoking by the window and the bath towel was the only cloth on his body which show his broad bare back.'Oh My God! It's a man. Although he is a handsome man and it could be seen even behind from his back, he is still a man and I am naked.' Ruby looked down herself and saw the black and blue hickeys all over her body which indicates how wild they have been all night.Ruby doesn't remember everything exactly but she still remembers that she was forced to drink the three glasses and she was drugged. And then she escaped from those three men and she met up with this man. But she doesn't remember the things after that.But things have been happened and Ruby decided to confront. So, she tried to sat up and call him but as soon as
