Phoebe pretended to be sick and asked Anya to call her father over, to which Anya succeeded.

Maxwell eventually came, but as soon as he entered the room, he asked her how she was feeling and decided to call an ambulance for her.

In truth, she was faking her sickness, and she would have a hard time explaining to him if the ambulance came and the nurses were unable to detect what her sickness was. As a result, she told him that she was just a little dizzy.

Then, her husband pulled up a chair and sat by the bed to read a book. It was a very thick book, and he seemed to have entered a trance while he read it. She sometimes wondered if her husband’s soul had left his body whenever he was reading, because he would rather read a book than look at his charming wife!

Sometime later, she could not stand having to feign her sickness anymore, so she told him that she was feeling better and wanted to get some fresh air outside.

Maxwell still did not show any concern about her..

‘Being married to a man like that isn’t any different from being a widow! She felt that it was inappropriate to rant to her daughter about the emptiness she felt as well as the lack of physical touch, so she just shook her head dejectedly and said, “He’s reading in the room. Where are you going now, Anya?”

Anya was very annoyed at that moment, too. “Joey is becoming more and more unruly now. He cries as soon as I enter the room, and he only wants to be with his teachers! He makes me so angry that I feel like sending him back to the orphanage!”

Phoebe understood her daughter’s frustration and patted her shoulder. “Can’t say I’m surprised. Why would an adopted child be close to you? Just leave him be. You can give birth to your baby in the future.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Anya’s expression soured after hearing what her mother said, and she quickly looked around. her to confirm that no one was around. She quickly pulled Phoebe into the guest room again. and said uneasily, “Keep your voice down, Mom! If people find out that I’m not infertile, I won’t be able to use that against Jeremy in the future!”

Phoebe smiled. “I know, I know. I’m more careful than you, you know! I’m confident that no one’s around because everyone is busy organizing the dinner for a distinguished guest! Now that we’re on that subject, I wonder who she is and why your grandparents are taking this so seriously.”

Anya breathed a sigh of relief. “I heard that she was Grandpa’s savior. We were asked to attend the dinner tonight, too.”

Phoebe felt that it was unimportant. “Why should we all attend when we don’t even know what sort of status she has? Is she even worthy to be in our presence?”

Anya could not care less who that person was. “Whoever she is, we’ll just have to do as Grandpa and Grandma says. It’s just dinner, anyway! My issue with Jeremy is much more important than this. I can’t get through to Jeremy’s phone number, and the call automatically goes to his assistant. What should I do now?”

Phoebe frowned. “Why isn’t Jeremy answering your calls anymore? Hasn’t he always been responsive to your requests all these years?”

Anya had been so caught up with having to deal with several issues surrounding her adopted child that she did not have any time to tell her mother what happened during the past two days. Since Phoebe

brought up the subject, Anya recounted everything to her mother.

Phoebe narrowed her eyes sinisterly. “It must be because of Corinne again! She must have all sorts of tricks up her sleeve to make Jeremy submit to her! You’ve underestimated her, Anya!”

“I know that, Mom!” Anya snapped. “Now’s not the time to be dwelling on my mistakes! You need to help me solve this! If Jeremy listens to everything Corinne says, ignores my calls forever, and cuts off all contact with me in private, I won’t be able to marry him anymore! How am I supposed to make you proud then?”

Phoebe placed her hands on her daughter’s shoulders and comforted her. “Don’t get so worked up for now, Anya. I’ll think about it…”

Anya was fast losing her composure. “You need to be quick! Corinne is pregnant with Jeremy’s baby, and I will never get a chance again if she carries the baby to term!”
