Chapter 22
“Don’t worry about Mom, if you want, I can go talk to her about this anytime.” Unlike the sweet words of Parker in the past, every word from Kenneth is sincere.
He calmly discusses love with Michelle, not humbling himself, nor being arrogant. He even considers Michelle’s mother, Anya’s feelings, fearing she might be scared to retreat because of their sibling relationship.
Michelle’s eyes redden, her throat chokes up, her lips trembling slightly, “Okay. Please give me a chance too.” A chance to rekindle love.
Kenneth, upon hearing this, was somewhat incredulous, then tightly embraced Michelle, “Michelle, thank you.”

***
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed. The Browning and Smith families had successfully arranged a magnificent wedding. They were both hoping to use this wedding to stir up gossip and save the reputations of their companies, which were on the brink of collapse.
The night before the wedding, Parker intentionally went to Janet’s room.
Janet, tirelessly trying on one wedding dress after another, had a beaming smile on her face. Suddenly, she saw Parker in the mirror and smiled happily.
Since the last time at the hospital when
Parker was moved by the child, his mental state had improved significantly.

Although his attitude towards Janet was still indifferent, it was no longer confrontational. It gave Janet the illusion that they had a future together.
“Parker!” Janet turned around, linking her arm with his, nestling against his chest like a bird.
Parker unexpectedly did not reject her, his lips curling into a strange smile.
Janet was delighted inside, “Parker, do you think I’m beautiful?”
Parker stared at Janet’s five–month–old belly for a long while, casually answering,
“Beautiful.”
With that affirmation, Janet was overjoyed, taking Parker’s hand and placing it on her belly. “Parker, the baby misses you today too!

The baby is already five months old and the doctor said after three months, we can have intercourse. Parker, do you want to…”
As Janet guided his hand down, Parker grabbed it, pulling her onto the bed.
“Parker …” Janet’s gaze became increasingly hazy, losing focus, as she sank into a euphoric state, her sense of reality turning upside down.
Spending the night with her loved one before the wedding, even if like a moth to the flame, she felt there would be no regrets.
After a night of passion, Parker hurriedly left before dawn. However, Janet was tossing and turning in a nightmare, sweating profusely.
In the dream, Janet found herself in a dark place, so dark that it caused her heart to race.

But seeing the empty spot beside her made her feel despondent and her mind kept replaying the haunting dream.
It took her a long time to regain her senses, foolishly comforting herself that dreams were always the opposite, Parker would never hurt her.
