Adina leaned on her office chair and checked her phone after she finished working.
All of a sudden, a headline caught her attention. She clicked on it when she noticed the familiar name.
[According to our reporter’s follow-up report, the suspect in the child kidnapping case, Dew Daugherty,
was found to be pregnant the day before yesterday. She is the first suspect in recent years who has
been found to be pregnant before the trial. However, the next day, she accidentally miscarried after
eating the mornay that her boyfriend gave her by mistake…]
Adina instantly stood up. ‘I was just thinking to myself yesterday if it’ll be fair for my children if she only
goes to jail for three years just because she’s pregnant. ‘I didn’t expect her to have a miscarriage…
‘Did God deprive her of her right to be a mother because she was so vicious toward my four children?’
Adina turned off the news interface as her feelings became complicated.
‘Nothing will make up for what has happened these four years…’
Her phone vibrated on the table. She took a glance at the caller. It was someone who had not
contacted her for a long time.
“Addy, you would’ve forgotten me if I hadn’t called you, wouldn’t you?”
Adina could not be bothered enough to talk to him. She said indifferently, “Stop beating around the
bush. Why did you call?”
“I need a favor from you…” Flint grinned mischievously and said, “I came over to Sea City last night. I
didn’t find you, but not because I’m afraid that you’ll give me a cold shoulder. I spent a night at the pub
and bumped into my first love. She has been pestering me, and it’s so annoying
“Isn’t that great?” Adina said sarcastically. “You change girlfriends all the time. It’s good to reminisce
about the times you had with your first girlfriend.” “All my other ex-girlfriends are from nightclubs, but
my first love is from a proper family. I can’t bring her down with me.” Flint sighed. “Addy, she’s pestering
me so much that I can’t even get rid of her. Please come over and help me!”
Adina had no idea what to do.
Back then, when Flint was abroad, he always changed his lovers. Whenever his ex-girlfriends came to
his house
and caused trouble, she would be the one who settled the matter for him.
Flint often took care of her two children. That was why she had to bite the bullet and help him to get rid
of them.
“Addy, please. This will be the last time, really…”
Adina looked at the time. It was still long before the preschool dismissed her children. She then said
helplessly, “Alright. Give me your address.” “Love you! Addy, you’re a lifesaver!”
Flint hung up and sent his address right after that.
Adina took her coat and walked out. Serene took a glance at her. “Wow, Ms. Daugherty, when did you
get a tattoo? It looks great.”
Adina pulled her collar and covered up her collarbone. She said calmly, “Getting a tattoo hurts. I
wouldn’t recommend you to get one on a whim.”
‘I’ll try to remove it again after some time. It’s fine, even if it only fades a little…’
Adina drove to a club.
It was Sea City’s most expensive place. All the rich second generations , wealthy children, and young
models would come here often.
Adina was gorgeous and stood out from the crowd. Even the bouncer did not stop her when she
walked in.
