Listen Audiobook Version:



Lisa didn't go to work today. She stayed at home with Eva's two children. The two kids were well-behaved and didn't require much of her attention. She only had to make sure they didn't wander around or get into any accidents. The rest of the time, she focused on her own tasks.

At this moment, she was browsing her phone, looking at the latest trends in the fashion world. She was contemplating whether to directly order the items for delivery or to wait until she had some free time to go with Eva. Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and a new message popped up at the top of the screen.

With just a glance, Lisa froze in place. Though her body remained still, her heart started pounding rapidly.

Could she have misread it? Did she see a message from Mr. Blackwood?

After realizing what she had seen, Lisa quickly tapped on her WhatsApp and indeed found a new message at the top of her chats.

Lisa was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Her eyes even started to well up with tears. She opened the conversation.

Mr. Blackwood: Hello, are you available to talk on the phone right now?

Talk on the phone? Many messages she had sent him had gone unanswered, but now he was asking if she could talk on the phone? Lisa didn't quite understand his intentions. However, she was already happy that he was willing to contact her, no matter the reason.

Thinking this, Lisa immediately replied, "I can!"

After sending the message, it only took a couple of seconds for Mr. Blackwood to make a WhatsApp call.

Lisa's heart raced even faster. She quickly got up and called out to the two children, "Ruby, Dylan, Aunt Lisa is going out to take a phone call. Just play by yourselves." Without waiting for a response from the two kids, she rushed to the balcony.

Taking a few deep breaths and calming herself, Lisa answered the call and greeted cautiously, "Mr. Blackwood, hello?"

His voice sounded clear and cold, like frost and a snow-capped mountain, but it was also calm and firm.

"There are some things I want to ask you about, do you have a moment?"

Ask her? In an instant, Lisa thought back to their previous encounter at the restaurant. Could it be that he wants to ask about Eva again?

With that thought in mind, Lisa bit her lower lip.

Although she wasn't entirely willing, she still said insincerely, "Of course, Mr. Blackwood, what would you like to know?"

"I came across your tweets and saw a photo."

Lisa momentarily didn't understand which photo he was referring to.

"Yes," Adrian's voice grew low and powerful, "the photo you updated last night. I saw those two children."

As he spoke, Adrian tapped his long fingers lightly on the smooth desk.

Lisa inquired, "You also watch their livestreams? Fans?"

Upon hearing this, Lisa finally understood who Adrian was referring to, and she burst into laughter instantly.

"So, you were talking about Ruby and Dylan. I do watch their livestreams, but I'm not their fan."

The last sentence hit Adrian like a hammer on the heart.

He slowly squinted his narrow eyes.

Because Lisa wasn't asking about Eva but instead mentioned two kids and even thought she was a fan, she completely let her guard down and even felt they had found a common topic. "Mr. Blackwood, you don't watch their livestreams too, do you? That would be quite a coincidence."

Adrian lowered his eyelids. "So, you are their mother?"

Hearing his words, Lisa was taken aback and then refuted, "How is that possible? They are not my children. If I had kids, how could I possibly still approach you for a conversation?"

To dispel any suspicion of being married with children in his eyes, Lisa explained in a hurry, "Those two are my friend's kids, as you asked before."

When saying these words, a hint of guilt flashed in Lisa's eyes.

Don't blame her. Actually, she had been suspecting that Eva and Adrian might have known each other before, or else the man's behavior wouldn't have been like this. Now that she had the chance, she would definitely talk about Eva's situation. If the other party knew that Eva already had children, would that make Lisa's own chance bigger?

Of course, this was just a little hope Lisa held onto. She didn't think she did anything wrong, after all, Eva had already given birth to children, who were now so grown-up. There was nothing to be ashamed of, and she was just telling the truth. Hearing this, Adrian probably had some thoughts in his mind.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. "The Miss Hansen you mentioned?"

"Yes." Lisa nodded. "The two kids belong to her."

After she finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

For a long time, she waited but didn't receive any response. She had to call out to him, "Mr. Blackwood?"

Adrian's phone emitted a deep chuckle. "Your friend seems quite fortunate."

Lisa awkwardly agreed, "Indeed, I also think so. The two kids are so cute and well-behaved."

She wanted to say something more to him on this opportunity, but she heard the sound of a door opening from the other end of the phone, followed by someone calling out. "Mr. Blackwood."

Adrian raised his hand to signal for them to stop and then said into the phone, "Thank you for informing me of the news today. I have something else to deal with."

"Alright, I understand. You can go ahead and handle it."

After hanging up the phone, Adrian caressed his phone and fell into contemplation.

It was only when Jacob couldn't wait any longer and called him that he snapped out of his thoughts.

He furrowed his brow and looked at the other person, somewhat displeased.

Jacob was momentarily speechless. Weren't things fine just now? Why did he suddenly start finding fault with him again?

But before he could think it through, Adrian coldly said, "Come here."

"What's the matter, Mr. Blackwood?" Jacob approached.

Adrian opened two photos of children and pursed his lips. "Take a look."

So Jacob leaned in to see. When he saw the two children in the photos, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't these the photos of those two children you always look at? What's wrong? Who is the woman in these pictures?" "Eva's friend."

"Friend? Eva... Ms. Hansen?"

Jacob widened his eyes. "Mr. Blackwood, you don't mean to say that these two children are Ms. Hansen's friends' children, do you? Is that a coincidence??"

Adrian's words made Jacob's lips twitch. He gave a sarcastic chuckle. "What if I tell you that these two children are Eva's, too? Would you find that even more coincidental?"

"Uh..." Jacob nodded in agreement, then halfway through, he suddenly realized something and looked at Adrian in disbelief. "Mr. Blackwood, what did you just say?"

Did he mishear? Otherwise, why would he hear that those two children were Ms. Hansen's?

"She had children? Then Mr. Blackwood, don't you have no chance anymore?" Jacob's first thought was that their Mr. Blackwood's suffering these days seemed to be in vain!
