The party was still going on, and a smile spread across Glynnis' face as she watched her son heading over toward the lounge on the second floor with slightly flushed cheeks.Everything was going just as she had hoped, and Allyssa Tucker was already waiting in the lounge on the second floor. The marriage between the White and Tucker family would be final after tonight, and Lisa would have nothing to do with it.As Glynnis counted the time in her mind, she sipped her wine, exchanging pleasantries with the party guests. A loud noise suddenly came from the second floor, followed by a deafening silence in the crowd.The guests looked at each other with confusion on their faces, wondering what was going on.Glynnis forced a smile on her face and went to the second floor to check things out. She arrived at the second floor, only to find two of Terry's men standing in front of the lounge. Ms. Tucker was supposed to be in the lounge, and the two men she had assigned to guard the door were n

Lisa knocked on the door, worried about Terry. "Terry? Are you okay? Should I call the butler? Do you need a doctor?" she asked, but there was no answer from inside.After a long silence, she heard a hoarse voice coming from inside. "I… I'm fine! Don't call the doctor..." Terry said each word with struggle, and when Lisa asked again, all he said was, "Don't… Stop asking… I just want to be left alone! Lisa, just… I'm begging you!"Lisa became quiet and stayed at the door of the room in silence.Terry had no idea how he was going to make it through the night. How could his mother do this to him? Was this how a mother treat her own son?!When the sunlight peeked through the curtain and turned the room bright, Terry finally fluttered his eyes open slowly.Terry had not been in such a mess for a long time. He grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom, letting the warm water wash over his body.What happened after he came home yesterday replayed in his head again. He cou

"Just leave it," Terry said. He pulled out a lighter and lit the two number candles that had been left on the cake since last night.Lisa was startled by Terry's swift actions and stared at him through the flickering light of the candles. "You… You're not going to make a wish?" she asked, but she felt it was unnecessary after saying it. His birthday was already over. What was the point of making a wish?!"Make a wish? Will it even come true?" Terry gazed at Lisa steadily."Maybe it will?" Lisa said, but she was not very sure. It was already past his birthday, after all.For the past five years, Terry had made the same wish on his birthday. All he wished for was to be with Lisa again someday. So, was his wish finally fulfilled? How he wished she had never tried to draw a clear line with him and abort their child. Terry thought, shifting his gaze to the cake. "Hey, Lisa. Do you think my wish will really come true?" He said in a low voice.Her breath hitched, and then she said, "I-

Glynnis was on the phone with Mrs. Tucker, explaining last night's incident. “Don’t worry about it, there will be another chance. I do want your daughter to be my daughter-in-law. What happened last night was an accident…” Before she could finish her words, she heard her butler greeting Terry. “Mr. White, why did you bring so many people? Is there anything wrong?” “Get lost!” Terry said coldly. Glynnis looked up to see her son with his men. Her expression slightly changed, and she quickly said to Mrs. Tucker on the other end of the phone, “Mrs. Tucker, I’m sorry. Something has come up. I’ll talk to you later.” After ending the call, Glynnis asked her son, “Terry, why did you bring so many people to my place?” Terry sat on the sofa and ordered his men to wait outside. The men went out, and only Terry, Glynnis, and the butler were left in the living room. Glynnis gestured to the butler, and he left too. Terry casually flipped through the newspaper that Glynnis was readi

Then, Lisa added tentatively, “You’re actually still in love with me, right? But, you’re too embarrassed to forgive me so easily…so, you had hoped that I would still pester you after a month?” Terry stared at Lisa. Although it was true, did she have to say that in his face? “Am I right?” Lisa pushed on. Terry turned around. He was afraid that he would lose it again if he kept looking at her eyes. “Tell me! Am I right?” Lisa moved in front of him again and continued to stare at him while holding his arms. “That’s what you meant, right?” She always had the ability to corner him. “Yes.” He admitted quickly and went to check the documents that were piled up on his desk. Lisa was overjoyed. Terry had admitted it. He still had feelings for her all along even though she had hurt him a lot previously. She approached his desk. “Terry, how long does it take for you to forgive me? A few months? Half a year? The baby will be born if it’s half a year, that’s too long. Give me a roug
