Alex was completely dumbfounded.
âThen, during this period you⦠Have been acting strangely, to the point even your sister suspects you.â
Dorothy said, âItâs because how much thoughts do you have on me nowadays? Since Iâm not your only
one, then donât expect me to tell you everything! Because Iâm not willing to share my secrets with other
women!â
Once she was done talking, she walked out of the shed. However, her gait was slightly strange.
Alex looked at her, then to the ground. There were some bloodstains on the ground. He sighed, and
followed after her quickly as well.
He had a feeling that he couldnât see through his wife anymore.

After Maggie came and caused a fuss and ruckus in the house, the Assex familyâs dinner party this
time ended hastily.
However, before leaving, Claire pulled Alex and said, âAlex, I heard that because of me last time, you
and Dorothy got the divorce certificate. Iâm so sorry! Whenever you both have time, go and hold a
remarriage! A family should be together, and if you both were to live separately for a long time, your
feelings will surely fade in time too.â
It really was uncomfortable to hear her speak in a gentle and soft voice.
Dorothy said, âMom, letâs talk about this matter some other day when we have the time. Iâm not in a
hurry!â
Claire said, âHow can you not be anxious about this? You both are not young anymore, itâs about time
to have children!â
Brittany agreed immediately. âI agree with that! Youâll be twenty-five years old after the New Year, when
do you both intend to wait till? If you were to wait any longer, Dorothy is going to be an elderly
parturient at this rate! When weâre both old later, how would we have the energy to help you take care
of your children? You should hurry up and stop delaying this!â
âMom, you both look like thirty years old at most right now. It wonât be easy for you to get old,â Alex
said.
âWhether or not I look old, itâs all in the age. Iâm going to be fifty years old soon. The two of you will give
me a definite answer today, when do you plan to give birth to a child?â
Alex and Dorothy glanced at each other.
Dorothyâs face was flushed immediately. âGiving birth to a child isnât something that can be done just
because you want to.â
Claire said, âWhatâs so difficult about this? You both are healthy young people. If you keep track of the
days properly, youâll get pregnant after two or three tries. I also want to hug my grandson sooner!
Otherwise, seriously⦠I donât know what to do the entire day, and Iâm about to fall sick out of boredom.â
Sharpay said, âThey seem to havenât consummated their marriage yet, right?â
Brittany and Claire immediately looked at Dorothy, as though they were putting the blame on her.
Dorothy shot Alex a ferocious look. âYou, tell them.â
Alex looked embarrassed for a while before he finally said, âAbout that, we have already consummated
it ages ago⦠Just now, um, in the shed we were stillâ¦â
As soon as the words came out, everyone present was stunned.
They actually did it in the shed⦠It was no wonder they were out there for so long!
***
Dorothyâs face looked flushed. She wanted Alex to admit that they had already consummated their
marriage. âYou crazy man, why the heck did you have to bring up the shed?!â
She hurriedly ran upstairs, and refused to come down again.

Two days later, Aunt Rockefeller came looking for them. She came to take away Zella Yaeger.
On the other hand, Winniefred successfully entered the kindergarten under Thousand Miles
Conglomerate two days ago⦠With so many people in the family taking care of her, there would be no
problems. Plus, Aunt Rockefeller promised Zella that she could come back once a month.
Alex asked Aunt Rockefeller, âAunt, where will you be taking her to?â
Aunt Rockefeller replied, âMy secret base. Iâm not going to tell you the location for now.â
Alex could not do anything about that, but he happened to have something to ask her as well. âAunt, do
you know about the Blood Cult?â
Aunt Rockefeller nodded. âIâve heard a little about them.â
âThen, what about the Blood Curse? Do you know about it?â
She shook her head. âWhoâs under the Blood Curse?â
âA female high school classmate of mine,â Alex replied.
Aunt Rockefellerâs eyes flashed as she seemed surprised. âTake me to her!â
