Desmond's expression was a bit funny. "Such a coincident, how did their bone marrow match? It can't be like the romantic drama in the TV that Isla is actually my cousin's lost daughter, right?"
He almost thought he was the screenwriter.
Tina gave her tacit approval.
"I actually guessed right?" Adam was stupefied.
He just went abroad for a business trip for half a month. When he came back, the whole world was like having been turned up side down!
Desmond swallowed his saliva. "Tina, what's wrong with you? You sneakily had an affair with my cousin so many years ago?"
Tina felt a little awkward. "Ahem..."
She paused and briefly told him the whole story. Five years ago, they happened to spend a night together. Wilson performed parent bone marrow transplant operation for Isla and fought for the custody right with her.
After Desmond finished listening, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he sighed with a particularly sorrowful tone. "It's all over! So, I have a blood relationship with your little girl and I am her uncle. Now it is impossible for her to call me brother!"
Tina's mouth twitched.
The brain circuit of this playboy was always so strange.
In the end, Desmond still accepted this fact and once again regained his vitality.
He swung the curly hair on his forehead and snorted angrily, "Tina, my second cousin definitely didn't fight with you for the custody right out of good will. I think maybe it's because of Abby Amery..."
Tina remained silent.
She lowered her eyes and her heart curled into a ball.
The next day, it was still a work day.
Tina had taken a long leave previously, and most of her work was done with the help of her colleagues. The remaining parts had been piled up, and it was not a small workload.
She decided not to go to the hospital to see Isla this night. The next day was the weekend, and she had a lot of time to accompany her during the day, so she wanted to stay in the office to work overtime and finish all the work she owed.
The sky, which was supposed to be sunny, began to darken since evening.
The sunset was completely blocked by the dark clouds. It later drizzled.
The lights in the office were on, and Tina was working on a news draft in front of the computer.
The other people in the department were getting off work one after another, with only the sound of her taps on the keyboard. Therefore, the ringing of the cell phone was very clear.
The call was from Malee.
Malee told her, "Tina, you rest tomorrow. I have something need your help with!"
Tina asked, "Malee, what's the matter?"
Malee said, "It's that Old Madam Chiang lost an important painting and she's in a bad mood. The painting isn't expensive, but it was a present from Old Master before he passed away. It's an oil painting of a sunrise by the riverside. As you know, in the Chiang family, Old Madam is the only one who treats me well, so I want to draw a new painting for her! As a memorial!"
Tina answered with understanding.
Malee continued, "I checked the weather forecast and the rain will stop in the middle of the night. The sunrise tomorrow morning will be a perfect scene to draw. But I'm afraid that I can't do it alone, so I want to ask you for help!"
Tina said without hesitation, "No problem. I'll go with you!"
They were best friends. When they needed each other, they would do their best to help.
Malee felt warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Tina. I'll wait for you at your place tomorrow morning!"
"Sure!" Tina smiled.
After hanging up, she continued to work.
The phone rang again.
Tina thought that Malee was calling again, so she picked it up without even looking at the screen.

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 😩...
