Chapter 1289
Linus, who was standing on one side, impatiently uttered to Jordan, “Anna really isn’t here…”
Jordan nced at Cooper, who was on the bed and raising his head to look at the former. They
exchanged menacing res with each other—one was as steady as rock while the other as fiery as a
volcano, causing invisible sparks to flicker in the air.
“Jordan, who are you looking for?” Cooper knowingly asked.
Jordan’s phone suddenly rang at that moment. He answered the call and immediately heard Callum’s
anxious voice. “Father, we found Mother in Laguna Hospital. She sprained her ankle and it seems quite
severe!”
After hanging up on the call, he gave Cooper a vicious re before turning to leave. He then drove to a
hospital, which was located 5km away and close to the State Hotel.
“Annie!” He pushed the door to the ward open and immediately found Anna lying on the bed with a pale
face and bandaged ankle; it seemed like she was in a bad condition.
“Oh, Annie!” He anxiously approached her to check on her injuries. Fortunately, she only had a few
minor abrasions and a sprained ankle with medicine having been applied on all her injuries.
Anna said, “I was sent to this hospital by someone and I lost my phone.”
Jordan did not seem to suspect anything, but only God would know whether he bought her exnation.
He left in a hurry after paying her a visit. As the head of the Edwards Family, he had many things to
deal with after the incidentst night.
“Send Mrs. Yard back to the ancestral home.” He instructed someone beside him before leaving.
The ancestral home he meant was, in fact, the Edwards’ ancestral home.
His action meant that she had been officially epted as the matriarch of the Edwards Family, which
would then greatly impact both the Yard and Edwards Families.
Upon seeing that Jordan had left and there were no outsiders in the ward, Callum worriedly asked,
“Mom, are you really going to the Edwards’ ancestral home?”
Anna’s expression fell. “Since he wants me to go there, I will do so.” What is he trying to do? Feeling
me out? Or, is there any other purpose?
Callum unintentionally noticed a hickey hidden under her clothes—it seemed like a bruise, but… there
were quite many of them!
She used to fear men—even Jordan was forbidden from getting close to her, but now it seemed like
she had found the love of her life. No, that person had always been her beloved, but he had been
stolen from her.
A lot of things had happened over the night.
The Edwards Family was in aplete mess—firstly, there was Jordan’s sudden engagement followed
by the exposure of Sam’s secret marriages. Thebined ages of those two big shots could be totaled
up to a century, but their wayward behaviors had managed to turn the world upside down, causing their
family to be in hell.
In contrast, the Fletcher Family was overjoyed because of what someone said—‘Stan is dating
someone!’
The children of the Fletcher Family ran around the yard, delivering the great news to everyone.
Everyone in the family was delighted to learn about it. The fact that he was dating someone became a
topic that all of them discussed whenever they met one another.
The number one bachelor of the Fletcher Family—the gigantic baby who was never in a rtionship
despite being almost 30 years old—was finally dating someone!
It felt as if the hog that they had reared for years finally learned how to graze flowers!
“Stan did not return home yesterday night!”
“He went out with a girl!”
“Sean told us himself, so it must be true!”
“What? Is the adopted child really his biological child?”
…
Stanley, who had yed games for the entire night, exited the cybercafé with two dark circles. After he
bade goodbye to Christine, he returned to the house that he shared with Sean, washed his face, and
went to lie on the bed, looking as though he had spent his whole night with ady under the sheets. I
think I am getting old. I’m now almost 30 years old, so I can’t act perversely like how I used to. I used to
be able to energetically head to ss after ying games for the whole night, but now I can’t—I feel
weakened after a few rounds of games.
After Stanley went home, he threw himself on the bed and started to catch up on his sleep.
He had given his all in an attempt to convince her to promote his cybercafé on Twitter.
When Stanley thought about it, Christine was a celebrity with a few millions fans, which mostly
consisted of gamers. If she helped him to advertise his cybercafé, the conversion rate from her fans
would be high. ording to the normal business procedure, he had to spend a five to six-figure
advertising fee to ce advertisements on Twitter, but he only spent a night ying games with her
and treated her to a piece of bread with a can of coke—all for the total cost of only 6! I used 6 to do
something that usually cost five to six figures! I’ve saved loads of money!
Other people yed business card games, but he yed ‘business games’. No, I won’t admit that it
was because Christine has good skills and she aroused my fighting spirit, causing me to unknowingly
y with her throughout the night. I was working—and really hard at itst night.
Thepany had recently branched out of the technology sector and established Dragon Technology.
Cooper joined thepany and was in charge of the shares while Stanley and Sean continued to
focus on game development and game merchandise. To fulfill his own dream, Stanley even opened a
large cybercafé, so he had spent a lot of moneytely.
The cybercafé had more than 20,000puters equipped with top configurations to provide the most
comfortable experience for its users. Therefore, the world’srgest cybercafé was established using
money!
Upon listening to the most recent financial report, Sean furrowed his brows. Recently, we have had to
save as much money as possible; every penny counts…
“Sean, I’m not heading to the office today. Stand in for me; I have to catch up on some sleep.”
Stanley took a shower andy on the bed to sleep, holding a cat in his arms to use it as his bolster.
With a thud, Maisie ran over and tugged him. “Papa, is it true that you went on a datest night?”
He mumbled, “Go away. A kid like you knows nothing. Let me sleep for a while and I will y with you
later.”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
“Okay,” Sean responded to Stanley before wearing his clothes and preparing to head to work like
usual. I have to deal withpany matters and watch a fashion show tomorrow.
The sleepy Stanley did not see Sean’s deste expression.
As expected, he didn’t return homest night. Sean knew where Stanley went and did not hide the truth
from the Fletcher Family when they came to ask.
Everyone from the Fletcher Family was overjoyed. Even if Stanley was only meeting a live streaming
host and actor, they were satisfied as long as the person was a woman. Stanley will eventually take the
right path, get married, and have kids.
“Maisie, I’m going to work. Be a good girl and get along well with Carmen, Hope and Poppy in the
kindergarten. I’ll take you out to have some fun tomorrow!” Sean could not help but hug Maisie before
leaving.
Maisie seemed to have noticed something—although Sean still looked the same, his eyes seemed to
be filled with destion.
Although she was at a tender age of three, she had experienced many tough situations in life. She was
kidnapped from her parents and brought to Ronney City as a merchandise, where Sophia eventually
brought her home and ced her under Sean’s care. As the young child was beaten a lot, she was a
sensitive child since young and especially good at reading people’s bodynguage.
Even though she now had two fathers who treated her well, she was still a considerate child and one
who was more sensible than her peers. While looking at him, she held his hand and asked, “Daddy,
Papa is dating someone. Does this mean that he doesn’t want us anymore?”
Her words seemed to give a huge blow to Sean’s heart. If Stanley is in a rtionship, he will surely
have his own family and children soon and it won’t be suitable for Maisie to follow him since it can be
inconvenient for him… Simrly, if he gets married, it won’t be convenient for him to continue to stay
with me…
