Alex was completely dumbfounded.
“Then, during this period you… Have been acting strangely, to the point even your sister suspects you.”
Dorothy said, “It’s because how much thoughts do you have on me nowadays? Since I’m not your only one, then don’t expect me to tell you everything! Because I’m not willing to share my secrets with other women!”
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 couldn’t see through his wife anymore.

After Maggie came and caused a fuss and ruckus in the house, the Assex family’s dinner party this time ended hastily.
However, before leaving, Claire pulled Alex and said, “Alex, I heard that because of me last time, you and Dorothy got the divorce certificate. I’m 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.”
It really was uncomfortable to hear her speak in a gentle and soft voice.
Dorothy said, “Mom, let’s talk about this matter some other day when we have the time. I’m not in a hurry!”
Claire said, “How can you not be anxious about this? You both are not young anymore, it’s about time to have children!”
Brittany agreed immediately. “I agree with that! You’ll 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 we’re 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!”
“Mom, you both look like thirty years old at most right now. It won’t be easy for you to get old,” Alex said.
“Whether or not I look old, it’s all in the age. I’m 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?”
Alex and Dorothy glanced at each other.
Dorothy’s face was flushed immediately. “Giving birth to a child isn’t something that can be done just because you want to.”
Claire said, “What’s so difficult about this? You both are healthy young people. If you keep track of the days properly, you’ll get pregnant after two or three tries. I also want to hug my grandson sooner! Otherwise, seriously… I don‘t know what to do the entire day, and I’m about to fall sick out of boredom.”
Sharpay said, “They seem to haven’t consummated their marriage yet, right?”
Brittany and Claire immediately looked at Dorothy, as though they were putting the blame on her.
Dorothy shot Alex a ferocious look. “You, tell them.”
Alex looked embarrassed for a while before he finally said, “About that, we have already consummated it ages ago… Just now, um, in the shed we were still…”
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!

Dorothy’s face looked flushed. She wanted Alex to admit that they had already consummated their marriage. ‘You crazy man, why the heck did you have to bring up the shed?!’
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, “Aunt, where will you be taking her to?”
Aunt Rockefeller replied, “My secret base. I’m not going to tell you the location for now.”
Alex could not do anything about that, but he happened to have something to ask her as well. “Aunt, do you know about the Blood Cult?”
Aunt Rockefeller nodded. “I’ve heard a little about them.”
“Then, what about the Blood Curse? Do you know about it?”
She shook her head. “Who’s under the Blood Curse?”
“A female high school classmate of mine,” Alex replied.
Aunt Rockefeller’s eyes flashed as she seemed surprised. “Take me to her!”
