Chapter 144
When Hathaway stepped outside. Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.
‘She must’ve driven off. Hathaway thought.
Hathaway quickly got into her car, started the engine, and sped away. She tried calling Evelyn, but Evelyn was still pissed and didn’t pick up.
Hathaway let out a soft sigh, gave up trying, and drove straight home. When she got there, she grabbed all the baby and maternity bags from the passenger seat. “Mary, come help me out!”
Mary came out at the sound, took one look, and said, “You bought so much again? The nursery is going to be packed
Celeste came out of the living room, her eyes sparkled when she saw all the cute baby things. She went through them one by one, happy but also a little sad.
Celeste muttered softly to herself, “I wish I could go shopping, too”
The Whitmore family had been super protective of her since she got pregnant, hardly letting her go out.
Celeste missed the days when she could go shopping whenever she wanted. “I really want some seafood stew right now,” Celeste sighed.
Hathaway set down her bags and smiled, “Then let’s have seafood stew. We’ve got all the ingredients at home, so it won’t take much to whip up a feast. I’ll help Mary get everything ready.”
Celeste’s eyes lit up. “You’re the best, Hathaway!”
Hathaway and Mary were busy in the kitchen, washing and chopping up different cuts of beef, black fungus, and enoki mushrooms, laying them all out on the table.
Mary sighed, “You really spoil Celeste. Sometimes you care more than Avery does.”
Hathaway replied, “It’s not easy being pregnant with twins.
“The bigger her belly gets, the harder it’ll be. She’s only got a couple more months before she gives birth Of course, we all have to put her first.”
As she said that, Hathaway suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had alrearty passed away by the time Celeste gave birth.
Did the twins ever make it into this world? Hathaway wondered.
The thought set a chill down Hathaway’s spine, making her jolt.
Alter all, in her previous life, Jessica had come to her hospital bed outing that the Whitmore family he had ended, that die twins never made i

Chapter 144
Thinking about it made Hathaway feel cold all over. She quickly wiped her hands, grabbed her phone, and texted Calvin: [Calvin, can we meet up? I need to ask you something really important.]
She waited a moment, and Calvin replied almost instantly: [Okay.]
The rich aroma of the seafood stew soon filled the dining room. Mary had added a carton of milk to the broth, making it extra creamy and comforting.
Celeste was having a blast with the seafood stew, but Hathaway was a little distracted. Sylvia was on a vegetarian diet today and didn’t come out to join them.
Hathaway barely ate anything before she was full, but at least Mary was there to keep Celeste company
“I need to step out for a bit,” Hathaway said.
Hathaway pulled up at the plaza near Harper Group.
Calvin was busy, so she waited quietly off to the side, not rushing him, her heart pounding with anxiety,
She waited until Calvin finally wrapped things up and came out.
When Calvin spotted her in the plaza, Hathaway rushed over, her voice strained, barely holding back her urgency. “Calvin, I need to ask you something really important!
“Did Avery and Celeste’s twins make it safely in my previous life?”
Calvin saw how tense Hathaway was and gave a gentle nod. “They were born, safe and sound.”
In that instant, Hathaway felt her heart finally settle. Her eyes grew misty, and she instinctively rushed forward, wrapping Calvin in a tight hug. “Calvin, thank you!”
Hathaway was overwhelmed with relief and joy, as if she’d narrowly escaped disaster. Though it all belonged to her previous life, deep down, all she ever wanted was to hear the best possible outcome.
Calvin looked down, his eyes clouded. “The twins were born, but Hathaway…
After that rushed hug, Hathaway quickly let go, and deep down, Calvin couldn’t help bur sigh inwardly, feeling a mess of emotions he couldn’t quite name.
But those twins eventually started calling him Dad, not their real father, Avery
Hathaway, blissfully unaware, dashed off with a radiant smile. After a few steps, she spun around and gave Calvin an enthusiastic wave, her eyes shining with the relief and joy of someone who’ll weathered a starpt
Calvin stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching her. The cool breeze brushed against his clothes an he stood there, staring at her joyful figure as she disappeared into the distance, not moving scle
He knew better than anyone. This happiness wouldn’t last long. Calvin thought, Avery Let things play our as they did in the previous life.
are numbered.
Honestly, keeping Whore Group all this time is already a miracle, But Avery is still going to die.

Chapter 144
The next second. Hathaway rushed back, almost tripping over herself, her eyes shining with excitement. T need your help with something else.”
“What is it?” Calvin asked.
“Can you talk to Evelyn for me? Her boyfriend right now is bad news. He’s going to mess her up!” Hathaway
said.
Calvin lowered his gaze and shook his head. “I’m staying out of this. Some mistakes people have to make for themselves if they want to grow, right?”
Hathaway blinked, a little dazed. “Okay, sure.”
She thought, ‘Maybe he’s right.
No matter how hard you try to warn someone, if they haven’t learned the hard way, they’ll never turn back.
Even if Hathaway laid it all out for Evelyn, Evelyn was so blinded by love right now she’d see Hathaway as meddling, and their friendship could get completely wrecked.
“Well, see you,” Hathaway said.
This time, Hathaway truly walked away.
Watching her walk away, Calvin could tell she wasn’t bothered at all.
But inside, he saw it all with absolute clarity.
This peace wouldn’t last long; it was only a matter of time before it all came crashing down.
He still remembered the way Hathaway had fallen apart, sobbing her heart out when she learned about Avery’s tragic death in her previous life.
And this time around, that same pain was bound to hit her all over again.
When Hathaway got home, she happened to overhear Avery talking to Celeste. “It’s a shame Zachary went to Blackwood Tech. Otherwise, I really wish Hathaway could find a guy who’d cherish her forever and keep lier
safe.”
Hathaway’s lips curled into a faint, nonchalant smile. She hummed quietly, not really caring, and turned to head back to her room.
