As Aiden spoke, he wore an expression of resignation. He was known to be yful, so he set the
phone on speaker so everyone could listen in.
“It’s like this. I need to go for a prenatal checkup, but your father isn’t avable. Could youe
with me?” Yvonne asked hesitantly. “You know my pregnancy is a bit risky.”
Upon hearing that, everyone was somewhat taken aback. Her request for assistance would have
been understandable if her rtionship with Aiden were harmonious, but the two weren’t that close.
Aiden was rather speechless as he stuck his tongue out at Ines. Then, he said, “No, you’re the
dangerous one. I should keep my distance. If something goes wrong, it’ll ruin my father’s happiness
of having a son in his old age. The me will fall on me. I have no desire for anypetition. You
should find someone else to avoid any suspicion. That way, we can both be at ease
After speaking, he covered the phone, turned to the crowd, and asked, “Is she trying topete
with me?”
The crowd didn’t know. All sorts of things could happen within a wealthy family, so that incident
couldn’t really be considered too strange.
After all, Yvonne seemed to have no rtives by her side. Thus, for her to seek Aiden’s assistance
during such times was somewhat justifiable, considering he was, after all, the young master of his
family.
Rnd mouthed, “Is it your dad’s idea?”
Sure enough, the next m at, Yvonne was heard saying, “It was your father’s iden.”
ine immediately gave Rnd a thumbs up, to which Rnd merely shrugged in response..
Isabe looked at Rnd with admiration. As expected of a cop. His reaction time is so quick, even
faster than Alexander’s!

No, I did think of it. I just didn’t say it out loud. Somewhat aggrievedly, Alexander looked at his wife.
He wanted to show off, but he wasn’t the type to boast. Seeing his wife admiring Rnd, he felt
jealous.
Upon hearing the response, Aiden pouted. I don’t care those idea it is. Does she think I’m that
free?
Just as he was about to refuse, Yvonne spoke again, her tone tinged with a hint of sadness.
“Regardless, this child is your kin. Don’t you care at all?”
Aiden suddenly felt goosebumps.
Goodness. If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think she wasn’t talking about Aiden’s half–
sibling but rather Aiden’s own child with that tone. What’s up with her? She’s acting rather odd, isn’t
she? Isabe furrowed her
brows
In that regard, women were more sensitive than men.
ine immediately raised an eyebrow, her face expressing a clear desire to retch.
Ines blinked. Her reaction was not sharp, but she still felt difort.
“Why would I care when he’d fight for the family fortune and my father’s love? Rest assured, I’m
not

“I–I didn’t mean that. How could this child possiblypete with you? Don’t worry. It will never
happen.” Yvonne spoke in a flustered tone but soon regained herposure with a sense of
restraint. “I’m just not feeling well right now. I hope you can help me out, just this once. Is that
okay?”
The more Yvonne behaved that way, the more Aiden felt she was pretending to be weak, waiting to
harm him with a trap.
Just as he was about to refuse, Ines gently pulled him.
Clearly, the way Yvonne spoke provoked a conditioned response of displeasure in Ines. However,
she was still somewhat worried. After all, the child in Yvonne’s belly could potentially be Aiden’s
future brother or sister. That would be the offspring most closely rted to Aiden by blood,
Aiden had also expressed that he didn’t mind having such siblings as long as they were well–
behaved. He was open to fostering some brotherly and sisterly bonds.
When Inesst saw Yvonne, it was clearly evident that Yvonne was being extremely cautious with
her belly, showing her love for her unborn child.
Setting aside her diforts, Ines thought Yvonne might be genuinely concerned for thetter’s
own situation. With Ralph being unavable, she probably wanted a mainstay to stay by her side.
“We’ll do this together,” Ines mouthed.
Aiden was initially about to object, but something seemed to cross his mind, and his expression
subtly shifted. He affectionately stroked Ines‘ head, mouthing, “Whatever you say, Honey.”
Ines smiled.
Hence, Aiden assured over the phone that he would handle the matter, and then he hung up.
By the time Deborah hade looking, Ines and Aiden had already left.
Meanwhile, others were engrossed in discussions about the uing Burke family wedding and
Yvonne.
Deborah was somewhat surprised as she assumed everyone would gossip about the juicy news
from. earlier.
“You’re all actually discussing this instead?” Deborah eximed in surprise, thinking they moved on
to the next gossip too quickly.
“We’ve grown ustomed to indulging in gossip. No matter how explosive a piece of news is, it’s
just another day for us.” ine, who had just joined the group, brazenly stated. She stepped
forward and put an arm around Deborah. “So, how’s it going, future half–member of the Winters
family?”
Deborah said, “That’s all. I’m nning to head back now. Are you guysing?”
“Isn’t Damiening out?” Rnd asked.
The Winters family needs to discuss such a major issue thoroughly. Also… Before Deborah could
finish, the sound of police sirens echoed from outside the mansion. The guests who hadn’t yet–left
could only watch in shock as Ava and Oliver were awkwardly escorted away amidst their struggles.
One could see the sight of a new family of three standing at the doorstep, bidding farewell to the
person who had once persecuted them.

Naturally, the small group was concerned about Damien’s situation. His expression was muted,
clearly strained. However, his pride remained strong, so he was unwilling to reveal any
vulnerability.
Everyone bade farewell before they all walked away together.
“Are you really going to be Mdm. Lydia’s goddaughter, Deborah? That would mean you’ll be
Damien’s godsister, right?” ine highlighted her concern. “Whether as a fiancée or a godsister,
you sure have a bond with him. Why don’t you two just get together? Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Deborah slightly furrowed her brows, unsure of what to say. Her expression was no longer as
composed as it used to be.
It’s one thing when I didn’t know about Damien’s background in the past. Now, it’s hrious how
Damien’s crush has be his godsister. Isabe grinned.
Alexander raised an eyebrow. Based on what I know about Damien, once this situation is settled, I
bet he’ll do his best to pursue Deborah if she remains single. That said, I don’t know if Deborah will
go along with it.
Sure enough, Deborah said, “Stop joking around. I managed toplete the family task under my
own term of freedom. Why on earth should I go to jail?”
“You truly are my pal. Even though our temperaments are worlds apart, our views on marriage are
the same.” ineughed.
“Exactly. Marriage is like a prison, Isabe also remarked sarcastically.
Following that, everyon ed at her and then turned to Alexander with suspicion..
Silently, Alexander tugged at his wife’s sleeve, hiding a hint of grievance.
Isabe immediately realized what was going on. Right, I’m a married woman now. I shouldn’t

this.
Thus, she added, “A happy marriage is not!”
