Chapter 948 In Progress
This was a deserted yard, which didn't cover a large area. When he was on the wall, Maxim had observed the whole yard carefully.
No one had taken care of the yard for a long time. Most of the yard was covered with thatches of the same height of a person.
The small leaves of the grass were densely packed in the courtyard, making people unable to find a place to stand.
When he came down, there were several scratches on the bottom of his trousers. If he hadn't seen the blood on the leaf, he wouldn't have noticed it.
On the other side of the courtyard wall was a small courtyard. It was built in the style of the period of the Republic of China and was well maintained. There was no obvious exposed place, but also no traces of living.
Maxim pushed away the thatch carefully and walked towards the courtyard. It was not a long distance and he should have arrived soon.
He felt that he had walked a long distance, but there was no sign of the courtyard in front of him. Did he go in the wrong direction? He gasped for breath and tried to walk ahead after confirming the correct direction.
It was said that when ghosts stopped someone, the person would get lost and unable to find the right direction. Although he didn't believe it, it was mysterious at night.
He tried to comfort himself, but an idea came to his mind.
With a shudder, he suddenly felt a little palpitation and powerless panic.
A gust of cold wind blew from behind, as if someone was blowing towards his neck. He tried to turn his head, but found that his neck seemed to be a little stiff, and he could not turn his head at all.
The woman's sobs, sometimes high and sometimes low, floated in the air, sometimes far and sometimes close. He tried to catch the cry from the wind, but found that he seemed to be unable to hear any sound.
With all his strength, he suddenly turned his head. He was surprised to find that he had returned to the starting point, back to the place where he had just come down the wall of the courtyard.
What happened? He remembered that he had walked a long distance. Why did he come back? Did he really bump into a ghost? Suddenly he was frightened by himself.
He stared at the wall with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he found a red shadow on the wall. A female ghost in red clothes was floating in the air. Under the dim red moonlight, there was no her shadow on the ground.
Seeing the female ghost stuck out her blood red tongue, which was getting longer and longer, and slowly reached in front of him, Maxim felt that his nerves were about to collapse.
On the second day, a piece of news was published on the front page of Dragon City morning newspaper. It said that Maxim was abandoned after he was killed.
The news release was also accompanied by a close photo of the scene. Maxim, with a pair of gold fish eyes, lay on a deserted land. From the expression on his face, it seemed that he had experienced a panic before his death.
No one in the Rong Mansion found this matter, and everything was handled silently.
The wedding of Fell and Alice was held on the charming private island of the Qin family.
Zac didn't show up, and Essie, came alone with the children.
Mili, Rabi and Dot served as flower children.
"Great! We can be flower kids many times," Rabi said happily.
"That's right. When Uncle Vinton gets married, we will be his flower kids; when sworn father and sworn mother get married, we will be their flower kids; and when daddy Hanson and aunt Ivy get married, we can also be their flower kids," Mili said with a smile, looking very excited.
Valery looked at Rabi not far away. She was very unhappy when she heard that he called Essie Mommy. He was her son.
After the wedding, she took the opportunity to approach Rabi.
"Baby, do you remember me?"
"Yes, bad aunt." Rabi stuck out his tongue at her. He didn't like her at all.
Valery was a little angry.
"I'm not a bad aunt. I'm your mother. You're my child, not Essie's. Essie is not your mother," she shouted. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Rabi was so frightened that he burst into tears.
The bodyguard pushed Valery away in a hurry.
At this moment, Essie was talking to Alice, she heard Rabi's cry and ran to him as soon as she saw Valery there.
"Mommy, bad aunt bullied me. I don't like her." Rabi shivered into Essie's arms, seeking protection.
"Don't be afraid, baby. Mommy is here. No one can bully you," said Essie, holding him in her arms.
"I didn't bully him. I just told him the truth. I am his mother," said Valery.
"He is my son and has nothing to do with you. Don't talk nonsense here." Essie rolled her eyes at her.
"Your son?" Valery sneered, "Is it really appropriate for you to lie to a child like this?"
Seeing this, Elizabeth ran over in a hurry and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Why are you going to grab other's child again? Hurry up and leave with me."
"He is my son." Valery pouted.
"He is your nephew, not your child. You are confused again," said Elizabeth, dragging her daughter away.
She had long heard that Zac intended to train Rabi to be the successor of the Emperor, which was a great thing for Rabi. She couldn't let her daughter destroy it. It would be terrible if Zac got angry and left nothing to Rabi.
As for who his mother was, he would naturally know when he grew up. It was not a good thing to let him know the truth now.
Valery didn't think that much. She just didn't like to see Essie living a good life. She hated Essie so much.
Rabi was already five years old and had his own thoughts. Moreover, he was very sensitive. What Valery said had a psychological shadow on him.
"Mommy, why did the bad aunt say she is my mommy?"
"Honey, she's not very smart. She often talks nonsense. Just ignore her," said Essie, stroking Rabi's head.
"Then why didn't she say that Dot was her child? Why did she insist that I am her child?"
"Because Dot isn't here, or she will also say Dot is her son," explained Essie.
"Okay." Rabi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. As long as he was the child of his mother, everything would be fine. He didn't want to be the child of others, but the child of his mother.
Two days later, in Dragon City.
Janice called and said that she would come to see the baby at three o'clock in the afternoon. After hanging up the phone, Eva told Megan about it and asked her to prepare first.
She did not like this crazy woman from the bottom of her heart. After all, her relationship with Jim was so strong that no woman could be generous in this respect. But Jell's relationship with her was so strong that she couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
When Janice rang the doorbell of the villa, Eva was eating. She had just finished a bowl of congee with medicine to nourish the fetus, and was dealing with a pile of nuts in front of her. When she heard the doorbell, she asked Megan to open the door.
"Eva, you are getting more and more beautiful, especially after pregnancy, your skin is getting more and more delicate."
Looking at the empty bowl on the square stool and Eva, who was trying to eat the nuts, Janice felt unfair. It was just too unreasonable. How could this bitch get pregnant with twins without suffering any morning sickness? The God was too blind. He should let her vomit all the time. She began to curse viciously, and a dim light flashed in her eyes.
Megan brought the baby who just woke up. After eating and sleeping, the little boy was in a good mood. He smiled at everyone and tried to grab his little arms. He was curious and wanted to touch everywhere. He murmured, looking very lively and active.
Janice took out a little toy from the bag beside her to amuse him. The baby waved his little fat chubby hand excitedly, trying to catch it. She took Jell from Megan's hand, gently kissed her face and stuffed the toy into his little hands. The little boy who got the toy put it into his mouth and sucked it. He looked at Janice and then smiled at Eva, stretching out his hand to let Megan hold him.
"Eva, what do you think of these two sets of clothes? The baby will look good in them." Janice took out a few more beautiful children's clothes from her pocket. She asked Megan to help put them on Jell to see if they fit him.
It had to be admitted that this woman's taste were indeed first-rate, and she was indeed inferior in this respect. Every time she bought clothes, she would ask Essie for advice and guidance. Looking at the little boy, Eva couldn't help but sigh at Janice's ability and insight in choosing clothes. The little boy looked more adorable, and he even wanted to have two bites on his little face.
"When will we go shopping? I want to buy some clothes for your child. I think the child of both of you must be beautiful." Janice played with the baby while chatting with Eva. She wanted to go shopping and pick some clothes together.
"Jim recently told me to rest at home to prevent a miscarriage. I don't think it's a good idea to go shopping." Eva was not sure but moved.
"It's okay. In fact, pregnant women only need to pay attention to proper nutrition and rest, and also need to exercise properly. According to the research institute abroad, pregnant women should keep proper exercise, which is more beneficial to pregnant women and the baby. I've heard that proper
exercise is good for natural labor and postpartum recovery, especially for the recovery of postpartum body." Janice seemed to have grasped the key point and continued to urge her.
The most important thing for her was to recover her figure. She didn't want to be a fat woman after giving birth. She hoped to make some achievements in the film and television circle in the future. Eva was a little tempted. Recently, Essie had been busy with a lot of things, including the Xu family and the Rong Mansion. It was not appropriate to take her out for shopping all the time. Maybe she could have a try to go shopping together with Janice.
After telling Megan, Eva took Janice's car to the shopping mall in the center of the city.
