“Hayden is not Lily and Key’s biological father, so he won’t treat them well, Rebecca. Lily and Kev are my biological children, and 1… I will definitely be good to them. I promise to be a responsible father from now on,” Theodore said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Debra rolled her eyes. It was not out of surprise but rather a reaction to the sheer audacity of Theodore’s words, reminiscent of a similar situation in the past. They had heard such shameless declarations before, notably from Hayden’s ex–wife, Queenie. To hear it now from Theodore seemed almost laughable. Suddenly, Debra looked at Theodore and asked, “Theodore are you single right now? Because I actually think there is someone who would be perfect for you.”
Theodore was bewildered upon hearing this. He looked at Debra with confusion, not understanding why she had shifted the conversation so abruptly. Not just him, but everyone in the Carter Villa living room – Patrick, Adrian, Bryce, Charlie, Isabella, and Carly – were all stunned by the sudden change in topic.
“Do you know Queenie? Your lines just now are identical to hers. From a certain perspective, I think you two are quite compatible. If you are single, you should try pursuing Queenie. I think you would get along great,” said Debra as she looked seriously at Theodore. He fell silent, unable to muster a response.
“Ha!” Charlie could not help but burst into laughter. He glanced at Debra, admiration written clearly in his eyes. When it comes to roasting someone, no one can beat my mom,’ Charlie thought to himself. Then, he glanced at Theodore again and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy. Theodore would not stand a chance when it came to arguing with Debra.
But after the laughter, the most important thing was still the matter at hand. Becky had endured so much hardship and finally met a good person, allowing her to start a new life. The Carter family certainly did not want Theodore’s entanglement to ruin Becky’s current happiness.
“Theodore, I won’t waste words on pleasantries. I will be straight with you. We did not give you a hard time before because we were worried Becky might still have feelings for you. If she saw you mistreated by the Carter family, she might feel sorry for you,” Patrick said calmly, his voice firm and resolute.
The worst part was that the Carter family would go out against the Edwards family, and Theodore, unable to win, would shamelessly return to Becky to admit his mistakes and seek reconciliation. In the end, Becky might relent, get back together with this scumbag, and end up in an on–again, off–again, entangled relationship.
Patrick continued, “Luckily, you did not disappoint us. You have completely destroyed any hope Becky had for you. Now, there’s no place for you in her heart, so we are no longer concerned. We have collected all the evidence of the things you have done. If you don’t believe it, I can prepare a copy for you. For the rest of your life, you can either stay away from Becky and live your own life or continue to bother Becky and end up in jail. It is up to you. I have said all I needed to say. Think it over.”
Patrick then stood up and instructed, “Bryce, show him out
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone understood Patrick was asking Theodore to leave. The Carter family did not welcome him. Theodore’s expression darkened with anger, and he could not help but explain, “I… I did not mean to bother Rebecca. I just want to take care of Lillian and Kevin. They are my children, and I have an obligation to raise them.”
Patrick found this amusing. “Theodore, if you truly care about Lily and Kev, then don’t disturb them. Hayden treats Lily and Kev very well, and they see Hayden as their father. As long as you stay away, they will be just fine.”
If Theodore insisted on getting involved, no one could predict how this blended family might turn out. Although the Carter family believed that Hayden was a good man and the Hoggard family had good values and character,

we unaware of Theodore’s reappearance. At that minent, she sat in the bridal chamber, her heart racing. Although this was her second marriage, it was completely different from the first. When she first married,
heodore was still in a vegetative state, and there were hardly any feelings involved. This time, she and Hayden were deeply in love and had been together for a long time before getting married.
As time passed and right fell, the guests outside gradually left. Stacey sat in the room, anxiously waiting for Hayden to return. As she waited, she suddenly heard the door creak open cautiously. Stacey quickly covered her bridal well and looked up carefully toward the door.
eremy? I told you before, you can’t come in tonight!” At the door, Jeremy was suddenly grabbed by a tall figure, and Hayden’s slightly exasperated voice came from outside,
Stacey froze for a moment, then quickly understood what had happened. ‘So, that noise just now was Jeremy trying to sneak in? She thought to herself and found it amusing and thought Jeremy was just too cute.
“Why not? You are a liar! You just want to trick me so you can sleep with Mommy,” Jeremy’s indignant voice came from outside.
Hayden replied through gritted teeth, “She is my wife. Of course, she will sleep with me.”
“No! I want to sleep with Mommy. Mommy is mine,” Jeremy loudly refused.
Amidst the commotion outside, there was another noise at the door as if someone tried to push it open but was quickly pulled away. Hayden’s warning voice sounded again. “Jeremy, tonight is my and Becky’s wedding night. So, we must sleep together tonight. You can’t come in.”
