Chapter 289 Misunderstanding

• That wasn't the first time she had a sense of impending crisis. “I spent every day at home thinking why you got a surrogate mother seven years ago, and why you refused Lily's advances.” She stared down, her voice despondent. “It's all because you don't want to get married, am I right?”
• Only a man who didn't want a wife and family would get a surrogate mother. “Mike's the only reason you're marrying me, isn't it?” She took a deep breath. Eleanor wasn't that confident to think Casper would marry her out of love. After all, there were countless women waiting for his love and those women were better than her.
• Aside from her kids, she saw no hope of besting those women in a fight for Casper's love. They were her most precious treasures. If someone were to take them away, the rest of her life would be a dark future waiting ahead.
