Upon arriving at the living room on the first floor, Sonnet asked Marcus, “Mr. Pine, may I know what areas you manage within the family business?” She still could not understand why Third Master Brooks wanted to scheme against her. His nephew and niece-in-law were not well off at all. Why would he try to harm them? Besides, he even came over to expose her for having an affair together with a lawyer. Marcus smiled and said, “I wanted to tell you everything after inviting you to my office, but I’ll tell you everything since I’m already here today. Old Master Brooks established a foundation for Maxwell with the aim of ensuring that he’ll be able to live the rest of his life in peace. One of the funds was meant for Maxwell’s wife. It consists of a large sum of money, with some money being transferred to his wife every month. However, this will only happen under the condition that his wife never does anything to betray Maxwell.” A serious expression appeared on his face as he said,

After returning to the Brooks household, Sonnet asked Mrs. Wilson about what was going on. She then went to the security office to ask the security guards if she could look at the surveillance camera recordings. She caught sight of Maxwell not long after she left the house. Sonnet asked him angrily, “Where did you go?” Maxwell replied cheerily, “I just got acquainted with two adorable new friends. I went over to their house to play with them for a while.” He took hold of Sonnet’s hand and said, “Wifey, you’re finally back! I missed you a lot!”Sonnet could not bring herself to scold him after seeing the joyous expression on his face. “Alright, let’s go back home right now. You’re not allowed to go around on your own anymore. Mrs. Wilson was extremely worried about you!” Maxwell replied obediently, “Alright.” After returning to the Brooks household, Mrs. Wilson immediately greeted them and inspected Maxwell all over to ensure he was alright. She kept reminding him to l

When Sonnet arrived home, Maxwell rushed out and embraced her at once. “Wifey, you’re finally back. I missed you so much!”He was tall and sturdy, and had a broad chest as well. Sonnet found herself being wrapped in his arms. She felt rather comfortable there.However, after a while, she pushed him away and said, “I’m sorry for only coming back after a few days.” “It’s alright. It’s alright. Dad is sick. You should stay there to look after him.” Maxwell waved his hands at once. “Is Dad feeling better now?” Sonnet raised her brow. She was stunned the moment Maxwell addressed her father as “dad”. They were a legally wedded couple now. It was right for him to call Myles his dad. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable about it. “You must be extremely tired. I’ll fill up the bathtub for you. You can take a good, long bath!” Maxwell said while turning around to head upstairs. Sonnet looked at how happy he seemed to be and felt guilty when she thought about how uncomfo

“Mom, come and meet Lil Oriole!” Lune said to Sonnet in a crisp voice after approaching her.“Lil Oriole?”“Yeah! That’s the parrot’s name!”Lune was ecstatic, and she continued to say to the parrot on her shoulder, “Come, say hello to my mom!”“Hello, Mom!” Said the parrot in a high-pitched voice.Sonnet giggled in response. This parrot was quite charming and smart, just like the one Maxwell owned!“Is this the parrot that your friend gave you?”“Yeah! It’s really smart!” Lune raised her head proudly, as if praising her own child.Sonnet was amused, and asked casually, “What’s your friend’s name?”Lune tilted her head and pondered for a while before saying, “Mm? I don’t know his name. He told us to call him ‘Mister’.”“So, he’s older than you guys?” Sonnet asked curiously.Lune nodded and was about to answer her when Shay, who was on the side, jumped forward and tried to hug the kitten in Jaybie’s arms.His movements were sudden and exaggerated, which startled both Jaybie

The two had dinner at a small restaurant near the Lux Club.Sonnet lied to Lionel that she was helping out her best friend, who got herself drunk and had a one night stand with a man in room 308 of the Lux Club. Now, her best friend was hoping that she could find the man.Lionel had an understanding expression on his face. “That night must have been very memorable!”“Well, she was drunk so there were probably some good memories. That’s why she wanted to look for the guy, but she really can’t remember the man’s appearance.”“What if he turns out to be ugly?” Lionel winked.Sonnet giggled and replied, “Whether or not he is, that’s her business. We’re just helping her to look for him. It’s also a coincidence that I happened to work at Lux Club, so she’s been bugging me for help.”Lionel patted his chest, vouching, “Leave this matter to me. I’ll ask around for you, and the people in Lux Club will probably try to help me out too.”Sonnet proceeded to thank him again and again.She w
