Daddy's Unexpected Triplet Free Preview

The night was pitch dark.

A sleek, inconspicuous business car was parked at the back entrance of the KS Hotel.

In a rush, several servants carried a drugged woman out of the car and took her to the presidential suite on the top floor. In their haste, they didn't pay close attention to the room number, merely glancing at it before depositing the woman into the dimly lit room and putting her on the bed. They closed the door, shutting out all the noise and chaos.

The woman, whose name was Mia Sherwood, felt an intense discomfort from the heat coursing through her body. She whimpered softly, unaware of how captivating her voice and movements were in that moment.

The sound of running water from the bathroom ceased. A man, wrapped in a bath towel, emerged. His name was Fred Simpson. Through the dim light in the room, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the bed—long hair cascading down to the waist, a graceful and enticing silhouette, and fair skin radiating a subtle glow.

Almost involuntarily, the man approached the woman. His voice sounded hoarse and deep, "So, you’re the woman Grandma sent to me?"

No! I'm not!

Mia wanted to retort, but her consciousness, blurred by their proximity, left her with little strength. All she could manage was a voice that sounded somewhat tempting.

Sensing something amiss with the woman, the man narrowed his long, deep eyes slightly. "Were you drugged? Or perhaps given the strongest aphrodisiac?"

If left unaddressed, she could likely suffer organ failure!

"Remember, I saved you today."

The man casually dropped these words and then kissed Mia's lips directly.

The taste was sweet and soft, with a deadly allure that, once experienced, would be difficult to resist. Their bodies entwined, their passion intensifying. Their rising and falling breaths filled the entire room.

...

Two hours later. The effects of the drug gradually faded.

Mia's entire body felt as though it had been tossed around to the point of falling apart! Even her legs trembled. She didn't know where this man got his strength, as if he wouldn't stop until he had completely consumed her.

The room remained dimly lit. Mia hastily put on her clothes, not caring about anything else, and fled! She wanted to question her family why they did this to her!

As she left, the sated man on the bed opened his eyes, subconsciously reaching out to embrace the woman beside him, only to find her gone.

In an instant, all his sleepiness vanished. He turned on all the lights, but the room was empty. That woman had left a long time ago!

Fred narrowed his cold eyes unhappily. He would not let the woman he desired slip away!

He took out his phone and dialed a number, giving a cold command, "Check out a woman."

...

As Mia approached the door of her home, the Sherwood residence, she heard Mr. Sherwood's voice coming from the living room.

"Mr. Johnson, please don't withdraw the funds. If you do, Sherwood Corporation will be ruined!"

"You should’ve been prepared for the consequence when you dared to deceive me!"

Mr. Sherwood cried out, "Mr. Johnson, we did put something in Mia's drink. We instructed the servants to deliver it to your room. There must be a misunderstanding, and we're sending people to find her now. Once we locate her, we'll bring her to you immediately!"

Beep, beep, beep!

The call abruptly ended.

"Dad, what did Mr. Johnson say? Are we going to end up on the streets?" Mia’s sister, Marie Sherwood, asked anxiously.

Sherwood Corporation was on the brink of bankruptcy, facing a critical moment of survival. The investor, Mr. Johnson, had proposed that as long as they offered Mia to him as his partner, he would provide the funds needed to help Sherwood Corporation overcome the crisis.

So, Mr. Sherwood drugged Mia and sent her to Mr. Johnson's bed to fulfill the deal.

They thought everything would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, Mr. Johnson called and said he had been waiting at the hotel for several hours without seeing anyone, so he decided to withdraw the investment.

Now, the Sherwoods were in a panic!

"Go investigate! I want to know what happened with Mia at the hotel!" Mr. Sherwood shouted. "And find that d*mn girl. I’ll personally deliver her to him!"

Outside the door, Mia's face turned pale. Biting her lip tightly, she dared not cry out loud.

She had thought that being found by her biological parents would lead to a happy life, but she didn't expect to be treated as a commodity in their pursuit of wealth and prosperity!

I can’t stay here. I have to run away!

...

Ten months later, it was ten o’clock at night in a small town in the southern area when Mia, who was already ten months pregnant, suddenly felt her amniotic fluid break, more than a week earlier than her expected due date.

Not long after that humiliating night at that hotel, Mia discovered that she was pregnant. At that time, the doctor told her that her body was weak and depleted. If she forcefully terminated the pregnancy, she might never be able to have children again in the future.

Feeling the life inside her belly, Mia prepared herself to give birth and raise the child on her own.

Just as she was about to call an ambulance, the door was kicked open with a loud bang, and Marie rushed in with a group of people.

"My dear sister, it was difficult to find you!" Marie stared at Mia's prominently swollen belly, her eyes flashing with jealous resentment. "We haven't seen each other in ten months, and your child is about to be born. You're lucky!"

It turned out that the servants had mistakenly delivered Mia to the bed of Neuss' first financial heir, Fred Simpson, who was now frantically searching for her.

"Marie, I'm about to give birth. Help me, take me to the hospital!" Mia cried in pain, her words weak and breathless.

"Haha! Do you think I would help you? As long as you're dead, all of the Sherwoods' assets will be mine!" Marie kicked Mia and said. "Mia, you're their real daughter, but so what? You still can't compete with me!"

Mia's pupils contracted. It was at this moment that she realized all of Marie's previous kindness to her was fake. Marie had always wanted her dead!

"Ahhhhhh!" Mia screamed in pain. The contractions became more intense, and blood flowed from her lower body. She couldn't say anything and could only use all her strength to deliver the baby.

After a long time...

With a scream, a tender baby was born!

Excitement gleamed in Marie's eyes. As long as I bring this child back and hand it over to the Simpsons, the position of Mrs. Simpson would undoubtedly be mine!

She ordered someone to hold down Mia, cut the umbilical cord, and took away the child.

"Marie! That's my baby!" Mia shouted, glaring at Marie with intense hatred, her voice weak but determined.

"He’s mine now! Mia, how dare you compete with me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for choosing to come back!"

"How dare you, Marie! I won't let you off!"

Mia wanted to reach out and grab Marie, but Marie ruthlessly stepped on her fingers, and the excruciating pain made her scream!

"Ha! Someone about to die still dares to challenge me?" Marie viciously ordered her men, "Splash the gasoline, burn the house! Let my dear sister rest in peace forever!"

Then, flames roared, fiercely heating up and scorching Mia. The clothing felt scalding as if her skin were being burned. Billowing thick smoke made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Mia wanted to escape, but the pain in her lower body struck again. Accompanied by baby's cries, two more children were born.

She was overjoyed, not expecting to be carrying triplets!

At this moment, the temperature inside the room was rising, the flames were raging, and Mia held the two babies tightly in her arms. However, they were crying loudly due to the heat.

The infants' cries cut through Mia's heart like a sharp blade, and her eyes were forced to turn red from the overwhelming emotions.

Even though her heart ached, Mia was helpless. Just as their consciousness was fading away, she suddenly remembered something. With great difficulty, she took out her phone and dialed a number she never forgot.

Beep, beep, beep...

After a long time, the call was finally answered. Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, Mia shouted, "Save me!"

Without waiting for a response, she fainted due to exhaustion.

Five years later at Neuss Airport, Mia walked into the airport lobby, holding two exceptionally good-looking children, attracting the attention of many people.

Due to their exceptional beauty and elegant demeanor, many thought they were celebrities and couldn't resist taking photos with their phones.

Mia had become accustomed to such situations. However, she still lowered the baseball caps of the two children, trying to keep a low profile.

She had three goals this time when she returned to the country.

One, find the child taken away by Marie five years ago.

Two, seek revenge on Marie!

Three, reclaim the assets of the Sherwoods and leave nothing for Marie!

Five years ago, after she called her foster parents' son, her four brothers rushed to the scene and rescued her. Later, she had been living abroad with her foster parents.

When she planned to seek revenge upon returning to the country, her brothers offered to help her deal with the Sherwoods, but she refused. I’m strong enough now, I must take revenge with my own hands!

Suddenly, Mia felt someone pulling at her skirt, getting her out of her thoughts.

Turning around, Mia noticed a delicate, tender child frowning anxiously, hiding behind her as if avoiding someone.

Upon seeing the child, Mia's heart trembled violently. She felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, compelling her to approach. If the child Marie took away back then was still with her, he would be around the same age as this one.

"Hey, kiddo. Why are you holding onto my mom? Let her go!"

However, before she could say a word, her son, Caspar, scolded discontentedly, not allowing anyone else to get close to his mom except his sister.

After being scolded, the little kid's big eyes welled up with tears. He clung to Mia's skirt even tighter.

He appeared very upset.

"Mom, I think he can't speak," her daughter Carol noticed.

Mia also sensed something peculiar about this child.

Suddenly, Caspar, who had previously been fierce, seemed somewhat guilty. Biting his lip, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't speak. I didn't mean to be so harsh."

The little child pursed his lips, his clear eyes filled with caution. Seeing this, Caspar could only offer his beloved Transformers toy as an apology.

"This toy is my way of saying sorry, but you can't keep holding onto my mom all the time…"

The little child's eyes suddenly brightened as he gazed at the toy in his hand. Surprisingly, he didn't reject it. Instead, he showed fondness for it.

In his home, countless toys were either dismantled by him or covered in dust. But this Transformers toy seemed different to him.

In a short time, the two children quickly formed a friendship.

Mia patted her son's hair, pleased with his apology. She squatted down, asking gently, "Kiddo, are you lost? Where is your family? Do you know their phone number?"

The little kid shook his head.

This is going to be troublesome. How are we supposed to find his family in a big city like Neuss? Mia thought to herself.

"Mom, how about we take him to a police officer?" Carol suggested.

"Seems like that is our only option."

At that moment, a group of uniformed men hurried over from a distance.

Among them was an older man with almost entirely gray hair. As he caught sight of the little boy, his eyes brimmed with tears.

"Joey, finally find you! Come back with us. Your father is worried."

The little boy stubbornly took two steps back.

"If you don't come back with us, your father will personally come and get you. And when you get back, you'll be grounded!"

These words suddenly angered the previously cheerful little boy. He shoved the butler away, his face puffed up with resistance.

The butler was at a loss for a moment. Once this little master's temper flared up, nobody could calm him down.

Seeing this, Mia couldn't help saying, "Let me talk to him."

"You?!"

The butler looked at Mia suspiciously, assuming she was just another person trying to get close to his little master for their advantage, likely with ill intentions.

Just as he was about to refuse, in the next second, Mia said a few words to the little boy. He immediately smiled and obediently walked over to the butler.

The butler's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This scene almost shattered all his understanding of the little master's behavior over the years.

Joey had a challenging fate. When Marie brought him in, he was on the brink of death and spent two whole months in the hospital before finally recovering.

As he grew older, they discovered that he couldn't speak, disliked communication, and immersed himself in his own world.

The doctors diagnosed it as autism resulting from psychological barriers, a condition difficult to treat.

It took the Simpsons several years to establish a subtle connection with Joey. He never expected that a woman he had just met could make Joey so obedient.

The butler couldn't help but pay attention to Mia.

"Let's go, Caspar, Carol. We're leaving." Mia gave a nod at the butler and then turned to leave with her two kids.

Mia waved goodbye to the little boy, "Kiddo, goodbye. We're leaving now."

After walking a few steps, Carol instinctively turned back and noticed the little boy still standing there, expressing apparent reluctance as he watched them go.

"Mom, do you see that? That boy still staring as if he doesn't want to say goodbye." Carol tugged at Mia's clothes, urging her to turn around and look.

"Really?"

When Mia turned around, she caught sight of the little kid's smile again, and it felt as though her heart was about to melt.

"Mom, he looks so much like Caspar!" Carol touched her chin and pondered, "Could he possibly be our long-lost brother?"

This comment caught Mia's attention, yet she knew she had to proceed with her investigation cautiously.

Right then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Mr. Richardson. "Reiss, why didn't you tell me you were coming back to Neuss? I could have sent someone to pick you up!"

Mia smiled and said, "Sir, you're too kind. I should be the one visiting you."

"Haha, my grandson has been missing you. If you have time, you should definitely come over." Mr. Richardson teased his grandson in his arms, "By the way, there's a lecture at Neuss University next week. I'd like to invite you. Can you make it?"

"Since it's your personal invitation, I will definitely come."

...

VIP lounge, Airport.

A man exuding a regal aura with a strong presence sat on a leather sofa. His noble demeanor made people hesitant to approach him.

His face resembled that of a deity's, captivating countless women, yet he never spared them a glance.

At this moment, the man was pinching his brow, looking helpless.

"Joey, this is the third time you've run away this month. Can you tell me what's bothering you so much?"

While Joey played with his cherished toy, a Transformers toy, he ignored the man's words.

Fred also noticed the toy in his hand and grew cautious.

"Where did he get this toy?"

The butler explained in detail what had happened in the airport lobby.

When he heard about the woman, Fred's eyes turned cold. It seemed like a shady scheme, using the child to get closer to him!

Fred snatched the toy from Joey and ordered, "Take it for testing. Make sure it's safe before giving it back to Joey."

Once the toy was taken away, Joey glared discontentedly at Fred, silently protesting.

Fred patiently explained, "After the test, I will return it to you. It's best to keep it safe."

Joey angrily grabbed his hand and bit it hard before running out of the room.

"Sir, are you okay?" the butler asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Whenever Joey got angry, he liked to bite people. He had undergone many psychological examinations, and the doctors all said it was a normal emotional expression.

Thinking about Joey's condition, the butler couldn't help but suggest, "Sir, there might be a connection between Joey and that woman. Since we still cannot locate Dr. Reiss, why not consider letting her teach... "

Before he could finish his sentence, Fred interrupted him unhappily, "She's just a scheming woman. I will never let someone like her teach Joey."

"Give the order to subordinates. Anyone who can provide information about Dr. Reiss's whereabouts will receive a reward of one million five hundred thousand dollars."

At that moment, the door to the VIP lounge was pushed open. A woman entered, her figure curvy and her movements graceful.

Her wavy hair flowed down her back, and her small face was adorned with delicate makeup, making her incredibly beautiful.

This woman was Marie.

"Fred, Joey is still young. It's normal for him to be playful. Don't be angry with him."

Marie leaned against Fred and spoke softly. "Tomorrow is the engagement ceremony. Let's go back and prepare early."

Since entrusting the child to Fred five years ago, she had naturally become his de facto partner, having the freedom to come and go from the Simpsons' place.

But over the years, Fred had never mentioned the topic of marriage with her or publicly recognized her as Joey's mother.

Because of this, she worried and feared that Fred would not marry her. It was only with the help of Fred's mother that she had the opportunity for an engagement.

She would never let this child affect her promising future!

"He is also your child. How do you discipline him?" Fred's sharp gaze fell on Marie, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Marie immediately pleaded, "Fred, you know Joey's situation. He has never been close to me since he was little. If I try to discipline him, it'll only make things worse!"

"Is there any child who naturally isn't close to their own mother? I think you don't care about Joey!"

Fred's voice was icy cold, "If your relationship with Joey doesn't improve after the engagement, I'll find him a mother he feels comfortable with!"

Five years ago, he searched all over the world for the woman from that day, and finally, Marie Sherwood appeared out of nowhere with a child.

Fred thought he would finally get what he wanted, but he found that Marie was completely different from what he had imagined.

Hypocritical, selfish, and greedy. She is two-faced!

If it wasn't for the paternity test confirming Joey was his child, he would have wanted to sever ties with this woman.

Hearing Fred's words, Marie's heart tightened.

It seemed that she hadn't been strict enough with the poor kid born to Mia Sherwood, which resulted in him being distant. Now, she needed to properly "educate" Joey.

Marie squeezed out two tears and explained pitifully, "Fred, you have misunderstood me. Joey is my child. I went through a tough delivery when I had him. I love him more than anything. How could I not care about him … "

However, Fred didn't want to listen and walked out directly.

Marie hurriedly followed suit.

...

Hudson Yards.

Mia Sherwood unlocked the door with her fingerprint and entered with the two children.

The Edwards had purchased this house for her. The furniture, appliances, and decoration were all tailored to Mia's and the two children's preferences.

Mia couldn't refuse the Edwards' kind intentions, so she could only settle here.

After unpacking, Mia opened the refrigerator and found it stocked with fresh ingredients. She wanted to cook a delicious dinner for the children.

"Darlings, how about we have a hot pot for dinner?"

"I'm in!" Caspar rolled up his sleeves and was ready to help. "Mom, let me wash the veggies! You can rest over there."

Carol also thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Mia. "Mom, sit down and drink. I'll help my brother!"

"Thank you, my two little darlings!" Mia's face was filled with a smile. At this moment, she truly felt like the happiest person in the world.

These two children had a talent for the kitchen and were exceptionally skilled at cooking. Even when they were abroad, they could take care of themselves very well.

Caspar had a natural talent for cooking. He was young, but he could cook almost any dish.

Meanwhile, Carol followed her brother like his shadow.

Bringing these two considerate little angels into the world was the best thing Mia had ever done.

Now, she just wanted to find the child who was taken away by Marie as soon as possible. Once they were all together, their days would definitely be happier.

After dinner, Mia called her older brother, William Edwards.

"William, we have arrived in Neuss. Caspar and Carol just finished their meal."

"Okay, as long as you arrive safely," William said. "I've emailed you all the information I have on the Sherwoods over the years."

"Okay. Thank you, William."

"Don't be so polite with me. If there is anything you can't handle on your own, give me a call. The Edwards are always ready to help you conquer the Sherwoods!"

Hearing William's words, Mia felt a warm feeling in her heart.

As expected, the Edwards loved her the most.

"By the way, Mia, the CEO of the Simpson Group, Fred Simpson, has offered a reward of one million five hundred thousand dollars for your whereabouts. He wants you to teach his autistic son. People outside searching for you have been blowing up my phone. Do you think … "

"Help me decline it. I've been busy with returning home from overseas recently."

William didn't understand, "Aren't you usually fond of children? You always say that we shouldn't ignore those children."

"Fred is Marie's fiancé."

" … Mia, don't worry. I'll decline it for you. We won't help the people around Marie."

After hanging up the phone, Mia entered the study and opened the computer to check the files William had sent.

These were all the things that happened to the Sherwoods after she left Neuss all those years ago.

The Sherwoods, who were on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly received investment from the Simpson Group, and the business grew bigger and bigger. They even went public recently.

Marie had become the general manager of the Sherwood Corporation, holding forty percent of the shares. She remembered that these shares were initially gifted to her by her grandfather, but Marie later snatched them away!

What surprised her even more was Marie getting engaged to Fred tomorrow!
