Before Damian was about to leave home, he found out that Rain was still sound asleep.
In jest, he playfully pinched her nose and teased her, “You lazy bum, I'm heading out. I've prepared breakfast for you, and you can heat it up once you wake up.” Rain simply closed her eyes, grunted, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Damian affectionately tousled her hair, gathered his belongings, and left.
Little did he realize he was being a simp at that moment...
Upon arriving at the team, Damian was taken aback to find Blake present and on duty, joined by the rest of the team, all wearing strange expressions as they looked at him.
Blake asked, “Damian, did something happen last night?” Puzzled, Damian responded, “Everything's fine!” Colton remarked nonchalantly, “Were you feeling happy at home?” Damian flashed his bright white teeth and replied with a smile, “Absolutely. My girlfriend came to pick me up and intended to cook for me, but she was clumsy, so | ended up doing it myself.” Blake and Colton exchanged bewildered glances.
Blake retrieved his phone and spoke coldly, “See for yourself.” Curious, Damian cautiously took the phone, wondering what could be so mysterious.
Colton also handed over his mobile phone, urging, “Take a close look.” It was the first time Blake and Colton had encountered such a situation. When they arrived early in the morning, they intended to have a private conversation with Damian, but coincidentally discovered that they both had received a message from Damian's girlfriend! The two of them were utterly flabbergasted.
Damian examined the phone, and his smile gradually faded.
He glanced at Blake’s phone and then at Colton’s, muttering reluctantly, “Maybe the account used the same username and profile picture as her's.” Blake explained, “The account number is in the screenshot.” Damian slumped into the chair, utterly disbelieving.

Blake patted him on the shoulder and said, “Some things can be confirmed with a few clicks. That's all for now.” Interfering with their subordinates’ personal affairs was not an easy task for a leader.
After giving Damian a reminder, Blake headed to the meeting, and Colton left as well, leaving Damian sitting there in despair and anger.
He could not bring himself to believe that Rain could be that kind of person. They even made plans last night to get married when she returned home for New Year's this year.
They had even chosen a name for their future baby.
How could she do such a thing? There must be some kind of mistake! Damian could not accept it, so he called Rain to ask about the situation.
On the phone, Rain sounded startled, saddened, and angry. “You don’t believe me? How can you believe such absurd things? Are you doubting me...” Damian quickly tried to console her, saying, “No, I'm just confirming with you, that’s all.” Disappointedly, Rain replied, “What do you need to confirm? Do you want me to be that kind of person? | don't care, | didn’t do it.
Whether you believe it or not is up to you.” It was a common phrase for an unfaithful man or woman to say these phrases.
“It's up to you, believe it or not.” “Do you want me to be that kind of person?” He did not outright deny it, but Damian did not dwell on it too much. He quickly said, “That's not what | meant...” “Click.” The phone call ended abruptly.
Damian held the phone in a daze.
Yes, it was indeed absurd... He had to trust Rain and stop doubting her.
Otherwise, it would mean he does not trust her! A few days went by.
During these past few days, despite Rain being the one who had done something wrong to Damian, it was Damian who was constantly trying to appease Rain.
He even promised to take her shopping for clothes that day, and Rain reluctantly forgave him.
Blake and Lilly were also planning to buy clothes. Children grow up so quickly, and their clothes became too small in no time.
Blake rarely accompanied Lilly to shop for clothes, and what was lost can never be regained.
Of course... He swiped Anthony's card.
Carrying a bag of clothes, Anthony trailed behind the duo. He truly resembled a walking wallet, and it was even made of “genuine leather.” Suddenly, Blake spotted Damian, who was shopping with his girlfriend.
Blake came to a halt and was rendered speechless.
He had specifically granted Damian a few days off to give him the chance to sort out his problems.
And there he was, shopping with his girlfriend, sporting a loving smile as he willingly carried shopping bags...
Lilly exclaimed, “Daddy, doesn’t that guy look like Damian?” Blake crossed his arms and let out a cold snort. “That's not someone that looks like Damian, it’s him.” Lilly gleefully ran over to greet them. “Damian!” As soon as Damian turned his head, he saw Lilly and Blake. He was taken aback for a moment and suddenly felt a hint of unease and discomfort.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hello, Lilly and Mr. MacNeil,” Damian greeted each of them.
Anthony nodded slightly, but he could not help but feel the gaze of the girl standing behind Damian.
Upon seeing him, the girl confidently displayed a shy expression and even winked at him.
Anthony was shocked.
Lilly was speechless as she noticed it too.
Pablo squinted and fixed his gaze on Rain.
So, it seems that even people who aren't possessed by evil spirits can still give birth to their own kind of evil spirit? This kind of wickedness doesn’t belong in the underworld... Not even Blake would be able to tell if he was wearing the black rope.
Even Lilly did not realize it...
Lilly asked straightforwardly, “Miss, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you keep twitching while looking at my uncle?” Rain's expression froze.
She replied with embarrassment, “Wha... | wasn't looking that way. This is your uncle?” Rain squatted down in front of Lilly, her eyes filled with admiration. “Wow, you're so adorable! What's your name?” Lilly took a step back and shook her head. “My grandma doesn’t let me interact with dummies.” But Damian just called her Lilly. How could Rain ask for her name? Rain put on an expression of feigned innocence and cuteness, wrapping her arms around Damian’s tender arm. She said, “This girl is so adorable! We'll have a daughter like her in the future.” Her expression seemed natural and innocent, and one could not easily discern the different kind of person she was behind her back.
Damian smiled and scratched his head.
Blake spoke up, “Come here.” Damian suppressed his smile and walked aside with Blake.
Frowning, Blake said, “Didn't | already warn you? Can't you accept it? What's wrong with you?” Damian replied earnestly, “Mr. MacNeil, I've thought about it. | have to trust Rain. | believe she isn’t that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding...” Blake sneered, “So, you're saying that my words can’t be trusted, and that Colton and | faked the screenshot?” Damian was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to respond.
“No, no, Mr. MacNeil, it's not like that...” “Rain said that her account was hacked, and she doesn’t know which person used it to send those messages.” Disappointment filled Blake's gaze as he looked at Damian.
“Then how can you explain how she got mine and Colton’s account?” Damian was completely stunned.
