Averie finally realized Samuel was pretending. She flew into a rage and shouted, “Carlos, he’s pretending. He’s not sick at all-”

“Get out!” Carlos refused to listen. He wouldn’t allow anyone to slander his son.

Averie went on. “No. He’s really pretending. Don’t

believe:”

“What are you waiting for? Carlos glanced sternly at the bodyguards, who promptly approached and escorted Averie our

“Carlos, the wedding fitting and the photo shoot.” Averie was so anxious she was incoherent.

“Take her to the photo shoot room” Carlos’s cold and ominous eyes stared at Averic. He warned, “You’re not allowed near Neil from now on can’t touch anything of his”

With that, the aggrieved Averie was forcibly dragged away by the bodyguards.

Samuri saw a servant running for the doctor just now. He quickly straightened and pointed at his stomach, even farting to show he needed to go to

the bathroom.

Carlos was somewhat particular about cleanliness but wanted to carry his son there. However, Samuel insisted he could do it himself. Carlos respected his opinion and let him down.

“That was close, Samuel thought, running into the restroom near the dining room as the family doctora

The doctor took Samuel’s fork, the napkin Averie used to wipe it, and a few dishes Samuel had eaten, for analysis.

“Give me the results as soon as possible.” Carlos vaguely felt something was different with his son since yesterday when he returned from kindergarten. One of which was his attitude toward Averie. While Neil disliked Averie before, it wasn’t as obvious.

Carlos sent his son to school when it was time, leaving Averie waiting. He glanced out the window as the car drove past the trash bin near their home. The bin was overflowing. Carlos recognized the pastries and toys he had given Catherine yesterday.

Carlos’s eyes dimmed, but he said nothing

When the vehicle finally entered the side gate specially created for Neil, Samuel nearly cried happy tears. He could finally say goodbye to his scumbag dad and return to his mommy and uncle. It had felt like ages.

Samuel waved eagerly to Carlos, ready to escape from him. To his surprise, Carlos insisted on walking him to the classroom. Did Dad want to see Catherine? Samuel wondered. “Would be run into Mommy and Uncle? If Dad saw them sending the wins to school, would he be suspicious?” Samuel’s head was spinning

Carlos didn’t find Samuels request inappropriate. Neil would be safer if fewer people knew Neil was his son. However, Catherine nor Neil did not turn up when class started.

Samuri, whose hand was held by Carlos, wanted to ask about Catherine laut couldn’t find an opportunity. He couldn’t keep pretending to need to

use the bathroom.

“Go to class. Dad will come to pick you up this afternoon,” Carlos told him. A child was kidnapped yesterday from the kindergartens, indicating that their security needed to be strengthened. Carlos would feel better if he fetched his Kom

At the same time, Avenue was throwing a temper in the living room. That ble brat used to let her manipulate him. How did he become so formidable today! He even knew how to set her up

The more Averie thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt. She made a phone calefore she was consumed by anger. Averie recounted today a ordeal resentfully and anxiously asked. “What should I do now? That finde baat is my most important leverage, and even he

“So you have a solution?” Averie’s spirits lifted.

“Of course.” The person’s tone sounded smug, then became stem, “But you must follow my instructions exactly.”

Carlos returned to the villa not

not long after. He did not smile Averie and gave her a cold shoulder.

“Is Neil okay? Nothing happened to him, right?” Averie, however, inquired worriedly about Neil, her tone tinged with self–blame. “It’s all my fault How could I pick up the fork from the floor and give it to him! A child’s stomach is so delicate-”

“Let’s try on the wedding dress; Carlos interrupted coldly.

The wedding dress designer and assistant personally delivered over thirty wedding dresses, Sorrow flashed through Carlos’s eyes. Vera used to like these wedding dresses. Now, he could finally give her a grand wedding, but the woman he loved the most was no longer there,

Averie didn’t look good. She only liked luxurious and exquisite wedding dresses and couldn’t appreciate these simple and elegant styles. They were 100 rustic for her. Averie had complained to Carlos before, only to be scolded. She realized that Carlos only wanted Vera to wear a wedding dress

for him.

“They’re so beautiful. Carlos, which one do we start with?” Averie pretended to be delighted, reaching for a sky–blue wedding dress. “How about this one! Oops!”

Averie suddenly exclaimed. “There’s a rip at the bottom.” She started sobbing and questioning the designer and assistant. “How can you do this? So irresponsible!”

The designer also looked puzzled. They had carefully checked each dress before coming. How could they have missed in?
