Mary was exasperated at his words. Her face turned livid. "Walt, this is Daniel's business. Don't get involved. If you like children, you should have one with Laura as soon as possible." The corners of Walt's mouth twitched slightly. That was his child. How could he not care? "Mommy, Dan is my brother, and Sonia is my sister-in-law. I should care about them." Looking at him gratefully, Sonia said, "Thank you, brother. But it doesn't matter. If Mommy insists, we can do the paternity test." "Don't let mommy affect you. Let's talk about it after the baby is born," Walt tried to comfort her. "No one can affect us," Daniel said coldly. He was getting more and more confused about Mary. Now she seemed to only consider her own feelings and interests, ignoring everything else. Mary seemed to be stung by a bee, and the corners of her mouth tilted to one side. It seemed that Daniel had abandoned his mother and stood on his wife's side again. "Dan, I'm doing this for your own good
"Oh my God!" A panicked scream broke out from the room. The woman in bed appeared to have just woken up from a bad dream. She sat up and cleared the sleep from her eyes. It was her room. Yes! She put her hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was just a dream. She closed her eyes and was just about to drift off again when a big hand reached out from behind and touched her back. The suddenness of the touch made her tremble like a dry leaf. As she turned her head around, there was the handsome face of a stranger sleeping next to her. "Oh my God!" a panicked scream broke out from her lips, shaking the walls of the room. 'What is going on? Did this guy break into my apartment?' The man lying next to her was startled out of his sleep by her screaming. He shot up from bed like a jack-in-the-box, momentarily shocked and disoriented. Then, suddenly, his expression froze, allowing an eerie chill to per
(One day earlier....)It was the first day of April or as everyone would say April Fool's Day.According to the netizens, it was the best time for someone to declare their love because if they got rejected, they could just laugh and say—"Haha, I made a fool of you!"At the very least, they could retreat in a splendid manner.The same thought crossed Sonia's mind. Finally, she had summoned all of her courage and walked up to her idol, James Austin, on whom she had been crushing for many years. "Hey, I have been in love with you ever since we first met. I've got a good feeling that you and I are destined to be together. Although I am still not up there yet, one day I am going to become an icon in the fashion industry and become someone who is good enough to be with you. Would you please put me on your list of possible girlfriends?" She begged.Before she finished speaking, she heard a mocking laughter coming fr
Sonia did not expect to win twelve times in a row."You're cheating!" The way Daniel slurred made him sound drunk."What? You're the one throwing the dice. How can I be the one cheating? Just admit it, you didn't think I was going to win. Well, that's how gambling works!" Sonia giggled. She had never had any luck in gambling all her life, as such, she didn't expect her luck to be so good today.However, Daniel wasn't convinced. "Fine! Again!" He was determined to make a comeback.Sonia's thick eyelashes flickered open. "Okay! This is the last one. The big one! I have already lost everything today! So why the hell not. Marriage isn't a big deal! I can get married whenever I want. How about this? If I win again, you will have to marry me!""Deal!"The only thought in Daniel's mind was to win this game. Besides, he wasn't used to losing to anybody."Great! I like you!" Finishing her words, she pushed the cup closer to him. "It's your tur
Sonia knew that the conflict between Fabian and her was about to escalate. Knowing this, she asked Daniel to wait before approaching her."I heard everything you said that day." Fabian sneered. "James loves me. You don't even know half of what he does to me. In fact, he proposed to me within a few days since we've been together. In fact, he even said how I had so many admires that he was afraid that someone else would take me away."Sonia snorted. Unlike Fabian, she had more important things to get to, and she didn't want to waste her entire day by arguing with her. "You're thinking too much. Yesterday was April Fool's. I was only kidding.""Stop pretending!" she snarled. "I know you love him. Yesterday, he was so afraid that I'll mistrust him that he even said that he'll never fall in love with someone like you. You're like a mouse who has just crawled out of the trash bin. He's disgusted to be linked to someone like you. In fact, he even asked me to tell you t
"Daniel, thank you for helping me just now. Well, can we put off the procedures until after the engagement party tomorrow is finished?""It depends on you." He shrugged. It didn't really matter if it was delayed for a day."Thank you." Sonia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had to do everything to save her dignity tomorrow.With that, she invited him to have lunch with her.When they walked into the restaurant next to the community, She ordered the cheapest thing on the menu—sour noodles and braised soy bean curds. Then, she went Dutch and paid for her own bill."Let me pay." Daniel motioned to take out his wallet, but Sonia, who didn't seem to hear him, just handed the money to him.After taking her seat, she smiled and said, "We met by chance, and after this awkward marriage, we won't meet each other ever again. We should just pay for ourselves."Daniel nodded in approval to her words.Not long after that, the wai
His voice was low and it obviously hinted flirtation. For a second, she stood stunned. But slowly, his words began to sink in. She clearly understood what he was implying. And as a consequence, her face blushed crimson red. "Don't mention it. I have forgotten it," she said, trying to maintain her composure.Daniel's black eyes blinked, unable to believe she had forgotten it.He remembered everything, clear as day! Every second, the scene played in his mind.He woke up feeling hazy today. At first, his head felt unusually unclear, and he was unable to remember a thing! But soon, it began to fill up. Missing pieces of yesterday, came to his mind, one by one. He was a neat freak. No woman could touch him even if he was drunk. But when she was around, the defensive system seemed to be invaded by virus, breaking down instantly. To start with, she wasn't like any other woman he had come across. She was both beautiful and pure. Even her smell was intoxicating. At
Sonia's eyes started to become misty as she turned away, shaking away her thoughts.Daniel slid his thumb down her chin. "Look at me," he said softly. He didn't want her to feel wronged. In fact, that's the last thing he wanted her to feel. He wanted her to feel as if she was the only one in the world for him.Hearing that, Sonia sniffled and gazed up at him innocently. "What's so attractive about you?" she murmured."I'm better looking than him," he snorted. His dark eyes glinted under the dim light."You wish." She barked out a laugh, but before she could say anything else, he leaned over and kissed her. His kiss was like a shock of electricity. She trembled against his touch as she leaned closer into his arms.Her face reddened. She didn't expect that the cold man would have such an arrogant side. He even dared to kiss her in public!Since Daniel was now her boyfriend, she couldn't reject his hold, but she definitely wasn't going to let go
