“What will she misunderstand?” Jonathan looked up and met a pair of eyes so beautiful they looked as if they were filled withscattered starlight. He pursed his lips suddenly. “Just eat your meal. Don’t talk while eating or sleeping.”

Angela had the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat. But then, she realized that he was having double standards by not allowing her to speak wh

“I–I was just about to say…” She plucked up her courage. “Ms. May will misunderstand that I will bear you twins next year.”

Jonathan paused with his fork in his hand and raised an eyebrow. “You’re still young, so you can’t have children.” Let’s wait and see, he added silently.

“I’m already twenty. How am Istill young?” After saying this, Angela immediately regretted it and bit her lip, feeling so embarrassed that she could dig a hole to hide in. What am I even

She stole a sneaky glance at Jonathan, hopinghe hadn’t heard what she had just said, but she found the man looking at her, and he had taken her words seriously. “Do you want to have children?”

How did the situation turn out that I wanted to have children with Jonathan?

Feeling flustered, Angela hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I mean, we are in a fake marriage, and it’s all fake. How can we have children? M

Will be disappointed, she wantedto say, but before she could finish her sentence, Jonathan interrupted her with a heavy tone, “I know, but do you want everyone to know?”

Immediately, Angela stopped and glanced at his stunning profile as he calmly lookeddown with no extra emotions on his face. Watching him, she felt depressed and unable to focus on the upcoming meal.

After dinner, Jonathan had business to attend to. Angela didn’t dare to speak up. Instead, she quickly stopped him from working and firmly guided him in

Jonathan was very cooperative, and the whole process went smoothly. However, Angela sensed that since she had said that thing earlier, there was a s

Even after it was over, she couldn’t understand what she had said wrongly.

Back in her room, Angela shook off her frustration as she tried to read for a while but couldn’t focus and decisively called Donald.

On the other end, Donald seemed tired, but upon hearing her voice, he immediately perked

“Uncle Donald, they’ve decided to have me adopted by you today. I would like to know your opinion.” Angela got straight to the point without beating arou

“Adopted?” Donald paused for two seconds, not asking for specifics about what had happened.

He knew better than anyone how his elder brother treated Angela. Now, they were suggesting to him to adopt Angela. Angela must have been heartbrok

Donald felt conflicted, but he smiled and said, “Angela, I cannot be happier.”

Angela didn’t say much, hung up with Donald, and found Scarlet’s number in her blacklist.

The phone was answered immediately, and Scarlet’s harsh voice pierced into Angela’s ears as Scarlet yelled, “How dareyou call back! Do you know that Samuel is lying in the hospital? The doctor said if we wait any longer, he might lose his arm.”

Furrowing in disgust, Angela held the phone away from her ear and casually replied, “Too bad. If I had known, I wouldhave let Oliver loosen his grip on him a bit later.”

“What did you say?! Angela Kins, do

you

have any-”

Angela interrupted, “Let’s just get the adoption done tomorrow at 9 a.m. at Grandma’s old house. I can’t stand being your daughter for another day. It ma

There was a moment of silence on the other end. Scarlet stood up abruptly, gritting her teeth, but she quickly put on a well–maintained smile. “I was worried you would cling to me and want to be my daughter, but since you’re so eager, it’s just as I wish. Tomorrow-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Angela hung up the call, refusing to say another word to her.

As Scarlet listened to the busy tone on the phone, her chest heaved with anger. For a moment, it seemed like there were a few more fine lines at the cor

At the bottom of the stairs, Fanny, who had been standing for a while, walked over gracefully. “Mom, what happened? Why are you so angry?”

“It’s Angela Kins. She called to rush the adoption process!”

“Mom…” Fanny bit her lip, looking worried. “You’re not going to agree, are you?”

“Of course! This matter is non–negotiable!”

“Mom, Angela just wants to upset us with the marriage thing and doesn’t really want to cut ties with us. You can’t take it seriously. What if she comes to h

Scarlet’s face darkened as she sat back on the couch. “Even if she gets downon her knees in front of me in regret, I will never let her step foot into the Kins Family again.”

“Mom-”

“Fanny, don’t ask about this. From now on, you are my only precious daughter. Be good. Tonight, I will accompany you to buy that dress.”

A shallow smile of success flashed past the relieved Fanny, but she quickly returned to her obedient and gentle demeanor.

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance, and George walked in with a black briefcase under his arm.

Joyfully, Fanny called out “Dad” and rushed over like a little butterfly. However, George seemed a bit slow in his reaction today. By the time Fanny reache

As soon as Scarlet saw her husband, she brought up Angela. He was not at home at the time and did not know such a terrible thing had happened.

After hearing her, George frowned, and when he heard her urging for the adoption to take place tomorrow, his previous hesitation disappeared. “Alright,

“Dad, although Samuel was beaten badly, Angela didn’t mean to-

“Fanny.” Scarlet looked gently at Fanny. “Don’t say anymore. This matter is already settled. Let’s go and don’t let it affect ourmood. Let’s buy the dress.”

She approached Fanny and pulled her out, leaving George alone in the house. He leaned back on the couch, massaging his temples with his hand.

Thinking of the pitiful girl, he sighed with a sense of regret. How did I lose control like that?

The phone in the inside pocket of his suit vibrated, and he sat up straight. After checking his phone and seeing the content on it, his pupils dilated, and h

On the screen, there was a colored picture of a girl. He knew what it was and switched to the next photo, which was a selfie of Linda.
