    “Ignore them. Let’s go see the babies,” Charlie said, grabbing Reba’s hand with a smile.


    Reba turned to look at Charlie.


    But Charlie was already pulling her away.


    Debra was sitting with the two babies in the Carter family’s van. When Reba arrived, a big smile spread across


    Debra’s face.


    Seeing her own babies, Reba began to calm down. She stepped inside.


    “Mom<b>, </b>how are Lily and Kev? Were they fussy this morning<b>?</b>” Reba asked.


    “They were quiet, eating and sleeping like little piglets<b>, </b>just as cute as you were at their age,” Debra replied with a


    chuckle.


    Reba smiled and leaned down to kiss the babies.


    She reached out to pick up one of the children to nurse them, but Debra quickly stopped her, speaking softly. “They were just fed. It’s their nap time now. You should take a break, too. You still have filming to do this afternoon.‘


    Debra couldn’t stand to see her daughter overworked.


    Looking at the children, Reba felt a twinge of concern. “But the babies<b>…</b>”


    “There’s no need to worry about them. The breast milk was pumped in advance. It’s still fresh. Besides, drinking it now is perfectly fine,” Debra reassured her.


    Thinking it over, Reba nodded. “Alright.”


    “Go back to the house and get some sleep,” Debra urged.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Reba had no choice but to agree, “Okay.”


    Having just finished her confinement, her body was still weak. The morning’s hustle had left her exhausted. Most importantly, she needed to ensure she had enough energy to handle the afternoon’s filming.


    But just as she stepped out of the van and turned around, she unexpectedly ran into Theodore.


    Reba lowered her head slightly, trying to pretend she hadn’t seen him, and walked straight toward the house. However, Theodore suddenly walked toward her.

    <b>At </b><b>this </b>moment, Charlie came down, conveniently stepping after Reba, blocking Theodore’s path.


    Reba’s heart instantly tightened with worry. She turned back to look at them, feeling anxious.


    Charlie and Theodore stared each other down, their gazes sharp as knives.


    “Reba is my wife,” Theodore said coldly.


    Nearby, a staff who <b>had </b>yet to leave overheard this juicy tidbit and involuntarily stopped in his tracks, stunned.


    ‘Mr. Edwards is married? Isn’t he rumored to be J’s boyfriend?


    *Rumor has it they even have a child together and are just waiting to get married. But now, Mr. Edwards is saying


    Reba is his wife?


    “Who is Reba? Wasn’t he trying to stop Becky to talk to her just now? Could Becky actually be Mr. Edwards‘ real


    wife, Reba?”


    The staff thought, quickly realizing he shouldn’t be eavesdropping on this, and hurried away.


    He walked briskly, but as he reached the gate, he unexpectedly ran into J.


    J walked over and asked, “What are they talking about over there?”


    The staff <b>remained </b>silent.


    J pulled out her purse. She took out four thousand dors and said, “Tell me.<b>” </b>


    In this industry, everyone had some sense. The staff, Jared, quickly epted it.


    Jared was thrilled with this windfall and eagerly recounted what had happened in the courtyard. After finishing, he quickly assured her, “J, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this.”


    J’s face lost its usual on–camera gentleness, reced by a cold expression. “If this gets out, you can forget about working in this industry.”


    Jared nodded hastily. “Don’t worry, J. I won’t tell a soul.”


    Thismotion soon drew the attention of the three people in the courtyard. Theodore, Charlie, and Reba all turned to look toward the gate.


    Jared quickly lowered his head and scurried away.


    J walked into the courtyard.


    Reba quickly turned her gaze away and headed toward the house.


    <b>Theodore </b>was <b>anxious</b><b>. </b><b>He </b>immediately stepped forward, reaching out to grab Reba.


    Charlie instantly blocked Theodore and, raising his <b>hand</b><b>, </bnded a fierce punch on Theodore’s face.


    Theodore was enraged by the blow. He raised his fist and swung at Charlie.


    Hearing themotion behind her<b>, </b>Reba turned around and saw Theodore about to hit Charlie.


    Panicked<b>, </b>Reba ran back and shoved Theodore forcefully. “Theodore! That’s enough!”


    By now, J had entered and was standing quietly on the side.


    Using all her strength, Reba’s shove sent Theodore stumbling back several steps.


    Theodore’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “Reba, you pushed me for him?”


    ‘Was Charlie already that important to her?” he thought.


    “This is between us. It has nothing to do with him,” Reba said; panting, her voice icy.


    “Theodore, we’re getting a divorce, aren’t we? So there’s no need to drag this <b>out </b>any longer,” she added. As she said this, she felt the old exhaustion wash over her. Life with Theodore had always been suffocating.


    Hearing this, Theodore’s eyes reddened. He quickly stepped forward, grabbing Reba by the cor and lifting her up, his eyes bloodshot with rage. “Reba, you humiliated me so thoroughly, and now you want a divorce? Dream on!”


    He snarled through gritted teeth, his intense gaze making it seem like Reba hadmitted an unforgivable sin.


    “It’s not what you think between me and him!” Reba couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, her tears falling uncontrobly.


    The more she had once loved this man, the more she hated him now. Why couldn’t Theodore ever listen to her in the past and now? He never listened to her exnations but readily believed everything J said.


    The entire courtyard fell silent after her outburst.


    After what felt like an eternity, Theodore spoke coldly. “Don’t ever think you’ll get a divorce.”


    “Bang!” Charliended a hard punch on Theodore


    The next moment, Theodore lunged at Charlie, and the two began to brawl.


    Reba panicked. She looked around, searching for something to help. Suddenly, Reba spotted a stick in th corner. Hastily, she picked it up, intending to intervene when she saw Theodore about to attack Charlie.

    However, before Reba could swing the stick, J rushed up from the side and grabbed her, pushing her <b>aside</b>.


    Now infuriated, Reba turned and pped J hard.


    Themotion in the courtyard grew louder, and people outside finally noticed it, rushing towards the scene.


    Debra set the children down on the van. Puzzled, she got off it and hurried toward the courtyard, an inexplicable sense of unease washing over her.
