Chapter 1045 - 1044: Can’t Stand Him

After Old Master Chambers returned to the Imperial Capital, he never contacted Finn again, and no one from The Chambers Family associated with Finn anymore. Even when Mr. Chambers left Solaria, matters of The Chambers Corporation had nothing to do with her.

Finn’s main job was staying home with Little Bao, giving him the best care. Anna Morgan often came over to the Ford residence, every time lugging big bags of clothes and toys. She really did love Little Bao from the bottom of her heart.

Serena Sullivan still needed rest. After leaving the hospital, she spent most of every day in bed. If she slacked off even a little, she’d start bleeding, which scared Ethan Grant so much he moved his work over to Willow Yarrow’s place, and had Claire Sullivan come help take care of her.

Needless to say, just thinking about it, you could imagine how Simon Sterling and Claire Sullivan felt seeing Serena suffer so much just to have a child; looking at Ethan, they found him even more unbearable.

Ethan, for his part, just let Simon and the others vent at him, obediently playing the role of the good husband.

No matter who you are, you don’t get to live life twice.

As for the past, Ethan and Serena had already let it go. To them, the future was what mattered most.

Finn and Serena’s lives were back on track. Even with some hidden dangers still there, they had everything they were supposed to have.

Love! Marriage! Children!

These were what Anna was now missing.

Of the three of them, the one who used to have it easiest—Anna—was now the one living the worst.

After the news of Mrs. Monroe’s suicide spread, all of Solaria was gossiping about The Morgan Family.

Many people dug up old Morgan scandals from years ago. Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Monroe came from equally good families, but Mr. Monroe wasn’t the son Old Master Monroe valued, so strictly speaking The Morgan Family shouldn’t have ended up in his hands.

It was Mrs. Monroe who married in and used her own family’s influence and wealth to help Mr. Monroe secure his footing within The Morgan Family.

All these years, the couple had treated each other with polite respect; one son, one daughter—enviable harmony.

And then out of nowhere came the claim that Mr. Monroe had cheated with some young girl and Mrs. Monroe had killed herself over him. Most people thought the story sounded far-fetched.

Unless Mr. Monroe had his own difficulties, unless all these years he’d simply hidden himself too well, and then at the right moment met the woman he really wanted—setting off this grand drama in open defiance of the entire Morgan clan.

Everyone on the outside had their eyes fixed on The Morgan Family, dying to see how this play would end!

Would Mr. Monroe return to his family, or would Mrs. Monroe lose her life to fulfill this "couple"?

Anna didn’t want to bring up any of this mess.

Whenever she came to the Ford Family house, she just talked to Finn about the child or about Serena. When it came to herself or The Morgan Family, she avoided the topic.

For the moment she had no idea how to fix things, so mentioning it felt pointless.

Finn knew Anna was hurting inside; in just a few days she’d grown even thinner.

Anna wasn’t like her and Serena.

Serena was raised by Claire, watching Claire toil away running The Sullivan Corporation; she’d been sensible since she was young. Later, when Joel Quinn and his daughter moved in, Serena was then kicked out of The Sullivan Family and had that car accident.

Her life had never been perfect; she’d been through every kind of hardship. Family upheaval couldn’t knock her down. Even if Ethan fell in love with someone else, she’d immediately kick him to the curb and would never go to extremes over it.

As for Finn herself, well, if Julian Ford ever dumped her, she’d kick him too—but what she’d kick wouldn’t be Julian, it’d be a certain part of Julian Ford.

Their family backgrounds and the environments they grew up in had shaped them into women who didn’t need to rely on anyone, definitely not hothouse flowers.

But Anna was!

She had the love of her parents, the care of her brother, the protection of Carter Lockwood. She was a princess, a princess held high in everyone’s hands.
