Chapter 1290


    Sean patiently exined to her, “When your Papa is in a rtionship, you will have a mommy to love


    you and maybe you will have many little brothers and little sisters! Won’t you be happy, Maisie?”


    Maisie finally smiled and replied, “Are we still going to stay together then?”


    He forced a smile on his face. “Of course.”


    Only then did she feel relieved to head to the kindergarten. She also hugged Judge as her way of


    saying goodbye.


    As a matter of fact, she seemed to understand that Stanley, who was now in a rtionship, would soon


    form his own family and have his own kids. So, it was a matter of time before he would leave Sean and


    her.


    However, she still feigned happiness as she knew that he was upset. If she was upset, he would feel


    even more depressed. Therefore, she had to be ted to make him happy.


    The sun roseter in Bayside City—it was 8.00AM when the day was finally bright.


    Casper nuzzled Daniel in his arms and woke thetter up. Daniel opened his eyes and noticed that


    Alice was already dressed and doing her makeup; it seemed like she was about to leave.


    He suddenly sat up. “Are you leaving?”


    Alice was applying lipstick while holding thepact mirror as she replied, “Yeah.”


    She pressed her lips as destion filled her eyes.


    Daniel rose to his full height and gently wrapped his arms around her waist. “Can’t you stay with me for


    another day?”


    “No, I can’t,” she adamantly replied.


    Her reply left him in dejection. As always, career is more important than a man since thetter means


    nothing to her.


    He knew where he stood. Love was not the only thing in her eyes and neither was he.


    Sarah had woken up early to see Hope and Poppy off before they entered the car to head to the


    kindergarten. After that, when she was yawning in her pink, tender pajamas, she suddenly saw Daniel


    driving Alice and Casper out.


    Cooper, who happened to return home, saw Alice leaving in Daniel’s car.


    When Michael arrived home after sending Carmen to the kindergarten, he finally took a breather after


    being busy for the entire night. He switched on his phone and saw that the Fletcher Family’s group chat


    was extremely active with notifications that he had received messages. In the blink of an eye, the


    notification showed that there were ‘99+’ unread messages.


    The Fletcher Family’s group chat consisted of the old and young family members. It was usually the


    older ones who were more active since they would share motivational quotes and passages by


    unknown experts every day. While the young ones were usually quieter and less active, they were


    behaving in the opposite manner today.


    ‘Ah, Stan is in a rtionship! That’s not bad!’


    ‘Stan is finally dating someone! It’s something that we have been waiting for!’


    ‘This child, Stan, is almost 30 years old, and he finally understands the importance of rtionships!


    Congrattions! Try to get two kids in three years, yeah! The Fletcher Family will have new members


    next year!’


    Besides that, there was also another family group chat, which consisted of the younger generation that


    ranged from 15 to 35 years old. That particr group was even more active with new messages being


    sent day and night. He secretly opened that chat group, which was currently livelier than normal.


    ‘Stan, congrattions for popping the cherry!’


    ‘A warm congrattion to Mr. Stanley for stepping down from his title as a bachelor and nailing a pretty,


    rich, and fair girlfriend!’


    ‘Now, let’s wee Mr. Stanley to give a speech for popping his cherry! Give a round of apuse to


    Stanley! Stanley’


    ‘Ah, it looks like Mr. Stanley has overworked himselfst night. In my view, he is still sleeping with his


    beauty. He didn’t even ept the money that I sent to him. Let’s not disturb him.’


    Michael swiped downward to read the previous messages. Hey, that number one silly dog of the


    Fletcher Family has actually learned to date a girl and stayed out for the whole night? This is even rarer


    than Judge behaving in the house!


    Whenever the topic of Stanley, the idiot dog, was mentioned, everyone from the Fletcher Family had a


    headache. Judge even did better than him—it had at least three or five girlfriends although it failed to


    mate with any one of them.


    Now, the silly dog had finally enlightened.


    When Stanley’s parents were about to ept the fact that his son was not interested in girls but


    preferred boys, it was out of their expectation to encounter such a surprise. They had been so


    delighted that they started to give money in the family group chat early in the morning.


    It seemed like the Fletcher Family took the youngdy seriously. Even though she only met Stanley


    yesterday, her details had been spread among the Fletchers today, including her Wikipedia, profile,


    Twitter ount,ments, works, live streaming ount and so on. Everything about her was


    revealed to his family.


    Michael took the opportunity to read more about her. She was a hardworking youngdy who did not


    have a tainted past andpletely relied on her skills to be famous, leading her team to be the


    champion for the International E-sports Tournament. Although she was still a newbie in the


    entertainment industry, she had a great future ahead—a good match for Stanley, that silly dog.


    However, as a newbie who had recently made her debut, being in a rtionship was the same as


    ending her own career. So, her agency would probably forbid her from doing so as well. Luckily, the


    fact that she spent the night with Stanely was only circted within the Fletcher Family. Otherwise,


    they would have appeared in the news.


    The headlines today were all about the secret marriage of the winner of the Academy Award for Best


    Actress, Nicole, causing her news to be published all over the media.


    Sophia had left earlier to head to the venue to personally supervise the two uing big fashion


    shows. The fashion shows were arranged to be held in a certain hotel and museum to ensure that the


    events looked imposing and beautiful.


    Amidst her busy schedule, she took a nce at her phone. As she had also joined the Fletcher


    Family’s group chat, she discovered that it was filled with discussions about Stanley and Christine


    staying out for the night. It appears that Stanley has encountered his true love, but how about Sean?


    Sophia initially wanted to console Sean, but she did not know how to do so. Perhaps he has already


    mentally prepared himself for this.


    It had already been more than ten years, but Stanley had continuously overlooked Sean’s feelings. It


    could have been because Stanley was straight—the kind where he would not swing in that way.


    Therefore, his rtionship with Sean only remained as brothers. Rtionships are not something that


    can be forced.


    She came across the incident about Sam and Nicole again. They had hid their secret marriage so well


    that even the Edwards Family had no idea about the identity of his child. However, he unexpectedly


    exposed their marriage on his own ord during the chaosst night.


    As the only winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress in Cethos, Nicole had long evolved from an


    actress of a local TV drama to a renowned actress of box office movies. The exposure of her marriage


    last night had attracted great attention from the media, which resulted in the news bing the


    headlines this morning.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    It was inevitable that her past dark history would be exposed as well, causing theizens to mock and


    make fun of him to the extent where they even photoshopped him into memes.


    The guys were jealous of Sam, the rich man who married Nicole, a sexy beauty with an angelic aura.


    She was one of the few Cethos celebrities who managed to enter the international mainstream filming


    industry. The films that she starred in were not only famous in Cethos, but they were just as popr in


    other countries too. Those people, who were sour grapes, even maliciously posted the indecent photos


    that were taken of her before.


    On the other hand, women were jealous that despite Nicole being a female celebrity with plenty of


    indecent history, she was able to marry Sam, who was a bachelor of the finest quality in Cethos. So,


    they also posted and shared her indecent photos online as well.


    Below the news were all nastyments and the public had unfriendly opinions toward them—those


    comments were none other than the traditional scenario of a female celebrity seducing a rich man.


    After thinking about it, Sophia texted Nicole, ‘Goddess, are you alright?’


    It was the first time that Nicole entered the Edwards Residence—Sam had brought her home to meet


    the Edwards Family.


    He refused to continue to hide his rtionship with her from the Edwards Family, media, and the public.


    He wanted to announce to his family that he had married her and bring her back to the ancestral hall to


    pay respect to his ancestors in order to acknowledge her identity.


    At that moment, she now sat in the living room of the Edwards residence, but members of the Edwards


    Family seemed unfriendly toward her.


    Meanwhile, he was quarreling with the elders of the Edwards Family in the adjacent meeting room.


    The quarrel was obstreperous to the point where Nicole heard it even though she had no intention to


    do so. When she held her phone to reply to Sophia’s text, she suddenly raised her head and saw that


    Anna was being weed in…
