Tina felt that Desmond must love the feeling of being adored so that he would flirt with girls almost habitually. As long as he had the chance, he would come forward and joke with girls.
She was speechless. "No way!"
Desmond was greatly disappointed and asked her, "No? Not at all?"
Tina's mouth twitched. "No..."
Hearing this, Desmond snorted and complained to her, "But you just praised me for being so cool and handsome!"
Tina was stunned and immediately regretted to say it.
Desmond picked up the fruits scattered on the ground and asked her, "Why are you in the hospital? Are you not feeling well, or are you here to see someone?"
"My family is here!" Tina explained simply.
He was suddenly enlightened and nodded. "I see! If you need anything, just let me know. I'm capable of handling many tricky things. Besides, my third cousin is an expert in this hospital! By the way, I wish your family can recover soon!"
Tina, hearing his wish, was extremely grateful. "Thank you!"
She looked at her watch, thinking that Isla would be back from the birthday party. Thus, she said goodbye to Desmond, "I have something to do, and I'll go first!"
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Desmond waved his hand but was still unwilling to give up. He asked her, "Haven't I attracted you at all?"
Tina, ...
She sloped off quickly.
Tina looked a little downcast- she did not expect to come across such an incident on her way to buy some fruits.
Soon she returned to the ward and pushed the door open. To her surprise, Isla was there already.
Still in her pink dress, she was lying prone on the bed, humming a song.
Tina was amused.
She walked over and patted her little butt. "You're back."
Isla turned her head back and said, "Mom!"
Tina asked softly, "How is it? Were you happy at the birthday party?"
Isla repeatedly nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Of course I'm happy! I and the bossy president..."
"What?" Tina was puzzled.
Isla quickly covered her small mouth.
Ah, she almost let it slip!
Isla rolled her eyes, rubbing herself against her chest. "Mom, anyway, I'm so happy today. It's the happiest day I've ever spent in my life!"
Hearing she say such childish words in her tender voice, Tina laughed.
She was so little to know how many things would happen in the rest of her life.
However, looking at her bright smile, her bad mood, which was brought to her by Lilith, disappeared completely.
Tina picked up the bag of fruits. "I bought some fruit downstairs. I'll wash one for you to eat, okay?"
"Mom, let me help you!"
They ate together in the next evening.
Every weekend, Tina would accompany Isla to enjoy the sweet time together.
Isla had been smiling since she came back yesterday. In Tina's eyes, she was still thinking about the happy time of the birthday party.
She did not know that Isla did not go to the party at all! Thus, she thought to herself that she should let her daughter participate in more activities like that in the future.
Tina's phone rang as soon as they finished their dinner.
She glanced at it and picked it up. "Hello, Mr. Chin?"
Wilso asked her, "Aren't you at home?"

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
