Chapter 1154: Chapter 1181: Maeve Is Sick (5)

This departure lasted a full nine years.

She returned to the country and saw Caiden Ward again.

He was married, Rosy Harris had become Mrs. Ward, praised by everyone in the circle, and gave Caiden Ward a son, who was very much loved by his mother.

She tasted the flavor of heartache.

She always thought about it, every time she recalled it, she found it both laughable and lamentable, yet her longing for Caiden Ward did not fade with time.

Near forty, Caiden Ward was just as she remembered, as if time had left no trace on him; his handsome face was exactly as she remembered, and his figure was still tall and robust, his slight smile exuding charm.

She finally understood, that longing was love all along.

Yet she dared not reveal it.

Though she was born into the Myres Family and raised abroad, she could not bring herself to interfere in someone else’s marriage.

Caiden Ward was not Cesar Myres, reputation mattered greatly.

She forced herself to interact with Caiden Ward normally, still calling him Uncle Ward when they met. She saw the same indulgence and affection in Caiden Ward’s eyes; after nine years, he still cherished her, even going as far as scolding his only spoiled son for her, which incurred the displeasure of Madam Ward and saddened Rosy.

She felt guilty, even if it was the child’s fault first, she still felt guilty.

She hid her own secret, feeling like a thief.

Then—

What happened then?

Maeve lay on the bed, lost in thought, the painful past causing her to curl up involuntarily.

She attended university in the country.

At twenty, Rosy introduced her to a boyfriend, her cousin, Ryan Quinn.

Ryan Quinn was a year ahead of her, pursued her for two months, and at a classmate gathering, she somehow got drunk and foolishly had a relationship with him. By coincidence, photos of their drunken kiss were posted online, causing an uproar, and she started a relationship with Ryan Quinn.

Not long after—

She discovered she was pregnant.

By the time she found out, it was too late; the pregnancy was over sixty days along, and there were two babies.

She couldn’t bear to abort, took a break from school, and decided to give birth, discussing marriage with Ryan Quinn also became a priority.

Who would have thought—

A short while after the marriage, she overheard a conversation between Ryan Quinn and Rosy.

Her first time getting drunk was planned by the two of them, and the photos posted online were also their doing. It was all because Caiden Ward drunkenly called out her name in front of Rosy, inciting her jealousy and dissatisfaction, so she conspired with Ryan Quinn against her.

Carrying her six-month pregnant belly, she turned and her movements startled Rosy and Ryan Quinn, who were talking. They chased after her as she hurried downstairs, missed a step, and tumbled down the stairs, leaving a trail of blood.

Ryan Quinn took her to the hospital; she had only a breath left and vaguely understood many things.

The photos of her and Ryan Quinn were online for over an hour, then disappeared without a trace.

Rosy’s child hated her because Caiden Ward treated her exceptionally well, even better than his own son.

Ryan Quinn, not yet graduated, had already started a company with the support of Caiden Ward, transforming into a rising star in Cloud Capital’s business world, yet he was not happy, cradling her face for a long time on their wedding night.
