After North Myers was betrayed by her sc*mbag of a fiance, in a fit of rage, she decided to seduce her ex’s uncle!She used every seduction tactic in the book and finally got married to his uncle. Then, North realized something. She seduced the wrong person!Her husband was not her ex, Eiger South’s uncle. He was the richest man and owner of Howard Enterprises, the man who was so powerful his name alone caused people to tremble in fear!North began wondering whether she could still run away. Gerald Howard was a man of power and status. No woman had ever managed to catch his eye, until the woman from all those years ago came back. As Gerald watched North try to run away, he just chuckled in amusement and grabbed her by the waist. “You can’t run away after making me fall for you, my dear.”
View MoreNorth was delighted. She took Gerald’s wrist and said, “Alright. Let’s go home, then. I’m sleepy.”Reina was devastated as she watched Gerald and North holding hands. Jealousy nearly seeped from her eyes.How shameless North was! Reina was currently admitted to the hospital, so Gerald should rightly be spending time with her. But North just had to shove herself into the situation!Reina suddenly covered her chest and frowned. She coughed. “Patricia, my tummy—”Patricia shrieked. “Reina, are you okay?! Call a doctor, quick!”A few doctors quickly came inside. One looked at Patricia’s face before saying deferentially, “Ms. Reina is fine. It’s just that her emotions are affected. She just needs some cheering up.”“That’s right. The best-case scenario would be to have the baby’s father spend more time with her. A pregnant woman should always be kept happy.”Patricia immediately turned around. “Did you hear that, Gerald? Shouldn’t you stay and spend time with Reina when she’s in such
“What are you doing here?!”North beamed. “Where should I be if not here, Ms. Patricia? Do you think I don’t have the right to come to the wards of this hospital?”Patricia’s expression twisted. “Who allowed you in here?!”“Come to think of it, a doctor asked me that just now at the door. He thought that I shouldn’t be here.”North swept her hair aside. Casually, she said, “But Gerald found out that Dr. Parsons had only tried to stop me from coming in because he’d been paid to do so. Hey, you wouldn’t happen to be the one who paid Dr. Parsons, would you, Ms. Patricia?”Patricia’s expression turned stiff. “W-What nonsense!”Seeing this, Reina spoke up weakly. “Patricia never left the ward. Where would she have found the time to pay off Dr. Parsons? North, you must be mistaken.”Reina sounded extremely resigned. “Oh, North, you shouldn’t be like this. Patricia is Gerald’s mom. You shouldn’t be questioning her like this.”With Reina backing her, Patricia became more confident. She
North let out a frigid huff.Seeing that North was still upset, Gerald chuckled. “Dr. Parsons is a burns doctor. Even if Reina had come to the hospital, she would have gone to a gynecologist. Sam was the one who got hurt, so we sent him here. I didn’t know that Reina’s ward was also on the seventeenth floor.”The angry look on North’s face froze. “W-What?”Wait, what was going on?Right then, North noticed that there was a plaque by the side of the garden path. It had the names and pictures of renowned doctors at the hospital. On it was Dr. Parsons’ picture. It said that he was in the burns department. A lump formed in North’s throat.Gerald’s gaze turned dark. “We were doing an inspection of one of the manufacturing locations under the Deep Pool Corporation. There was an explosion, and Sam got hurt. Since it was an emergency, we sent him to Bowery Private Hospital. Colt said that Dr. Parsons is one of the best burns doctors here.”North found herself speechless. She did not kn
Bowery Private Hospital was huge. North wandered around for a long time, but she failed to find the parking lot. Instead, she had somehow gotten lost in a garden.It was the middle of the night, and there were only a few street lamps there. As such, she decided to sit on a step by the road and stew in her anger.It was February, so the night was very cold. North had been in a rush to get out of the door, so she had only grabbed a jacket to put on. She could not help but shiver as a cold breeze blew.Yet, when she thought of Gerald, an inexplicably fiery anger leaped up! She could not believe that she had even bought Gerald a gift. She should not have gone to the trouble of doing something so caring!North kicked a pebble hard. Her eyes stung.After so many years, she had never wavered in her goal. She wanted to ruin Reina’s reputation. She wanted to expose the truth of what had happened four years ago, including all of the murder attempts, false accusations, and set-ups.Each one
North was stunned by how fake Dr. Parsons was being.The nurse spoke up softly. “Mr. Gerald, you know that Dr. Parsons did everything he could to save… the patient just now. He forged on all this while. But now that he’s just left the operating room, he got mocked by Mrs. Howard about being a quack. Is it wrong that Dr. Parsons tried his best to save the patient?”Gerald’s gaze darkened. “I apologize on North’s behalf. I hope you’ll still do your best in treating the patient from now on.”Dr. Parsons was gracious. “Don’t worry, Mr. Gerald. I am a doctor. I don’t blame Mrs. Howard for this.”North’s eyes went wide. What was going on? Why was Gerald apologizing to Dr. Parsons?A strange, bitter feeling rushed up within her. Before she could wrap her head around what was going on, Gerald grabbed her hand. “What are you doing here?”North’s gaze burned. “Why did you apologize to Dr. Parsons for me?”Gerald could guess that there had been a conflict between North and Dr. Parsons earl
After the doctor finished speaking, he looked at North in delight. “Dr. Parsons, what are you talking about? How could Mr. Gerald have the time to answer Mrs. Howard’s call right now?”A nurse covered her mouth and chuckled. “Mr. Gerald is spending time with Ms. Reina. He’s much too busy to bother with someone so unimportant.”The doctor sounded gracious as he said, “You can’t say that. Mrs. Howard rushed over in the middle of the night. If she runs home with her tail between her legs after failing to see Mr. Gerald, wouldn’t that be awful? We should at least give Mrs. Howard a chance.”After saying that, the doctor feigned a kind smile. “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Mrs. Howard. Even if Mr. Gerald is focused on taking care of Ms. Reina, he can’t be so busy that he can’t even answer a phone call. Ms. Reina is important, but you’re his wife.“Maybe there’s still some space for you in Mr. Gerald’s heart?”North was not a fool. Naturally, she could tell that these people were sett
Forget it. It did not matter to North whether Gerald would wear it. However, it would make no sense not to give it to him since she had already bought the belt.Back at Royal Sights Residences, North waited for Gerald to return home.However, he did not give any sign of coming back even after she waited past 10:00 p.m. He did not even answer his phone. It was rare for Gerald to be so hard to reach. North could not help but feel a little worried.Just then, North’s phone rang with a call from Erika. “What’s going on, North? The rumors are going wild online. Where are you?”North did not understand. “What rumors?”“Haven’t you seen them online?”North shook her head. Meanwhile, Erika got even more anxious. “Someone snapped some shots of Gerald and Reina at a hospital. Reina was there for a natal check-up. Gerald’s car arrived even before she stepped inside. Now, the fans shipping them online have gone nuts. They keep saying that Gerald and Reina are flaunting their love.”“Which
Gerald looked away before saying, “So, you’re saying that you’re not affected by what she said? About how you should be more understanding of me wanting to be a father since you’re not pregnant even after we’ve been married for so long?”North looked down as Gerald coolly brought up what Reina had said. Her voice was tiny as she said awkwardly, “Yes.”“Are you very upset at what she said, Mrs. Howard?”“Aren’t you affected by it at all?”Gerald’s gaze was cool. “Why should I be?”“Don’t you want a child?” North asked.Gerald’s gaze became soft. He was surprised that this was what North was so caught up with.“Do you like children, North?”North did not expect that she would be asked this question. She stumbled over her words. “I-I don’t know.”Gerald could see that North was troubled by this, so he did not keep pursuing the issue. He simply laid out the possibilities.“If you like children and want some, then I’ll try my best.” Gerald paused before continuing, “If you don’t l
It was only after Reina was thrown out with a crash, attracting everyone’s attention, that Gabriel looked at North. His gaze was conflicted. Then, he walked out.Reina was going mad at the way people pointed at and whispered about her.How could this be? She was pregnant with Gerald’s child, so why did he not love her?!And Gabriel! She was supposed to be his sister, but Gabriel only kept looking at North without turning his gaze away! Could it be that Gabriel had found out the truth? But that was impossible. Yes, that was impossible!Ten minutes ago, the person sprawled on the ground should have been North. Reina had even taunted North and told her not to fight it.But ten minutes later, everything had changed!Reina could not accept it. She would not let this go.…In the restaurant, North was frowning. “Is something wrong with Gabriel? Is he in some fatal condition?”Gerald burst into laughter. “Why do you ask that?”“The way he looked at me just now was very strange. It w
