Rosie stared at Frederick's face as he walked into their son's room to meet her. Her little son rushed away from her arms to meet his father and screamed out, "Daddy!"

Frederick was in a good mood after seeing that Dylan was arrested, and he carried Richard in his arms while Rosie wondered what Frederick had up his sleeve again.

She greeted him, "Good morning."

"Morning, Rosie. I will soon be off to work, so I came here to see you and to discuss something with you."

Rosie sighed and asked him straightforwardly, "Okay. So what do you want to discuss with me about?"

Frederick apologized to her first, "I am sorry about what happened between us last time."

"You don't need to apologize to me, Fred. I am your wife," Rosie said to him, but not without looking away sadly.

"I know, but you have been avoiding me. I know that you still care about Dylan, but he shouldn't be important to you now."

"I know. Did you see me complaining to you about anything related to Dylan again? I hope that you're v

OMG! I cannot believe this!”Jessica rushed down from the car, and Dylan worriedly told her, “Careful, babe, you know that you're pregnant.”“Aww, I know… Wow! I cannot wait to get inside,” Jessica said as she excitedly walked up to the mansion's frontage, and Dylan approached her there. She was standing excitedly at the front of the mansion.Dylan gave Jessica the house key and told her, “You can open the door.”Jessica excitedly took the house key and clicked the metal entrance door open, and she gasped even more as she stepped a fo

I am so tired and stressed.”“Hmm,” Dylan didn't complain. So he wet his sponge and told Jessica, “You should be prepared to bathe me too.”Jessica smiled, eager to accept the challenge. She allowed Dylan to bathe her, and it reminded her of the early days when they progressed from dating to slee

    Dylan couldn't bear to see Rosie crying and begging him for forgiveness. He finally stared back at her face and told her, “It's okay, Rosie. Stand up first…”“No, Dylan… You need to forgive me first. I am not asking for you to accept me back but to forgive me, please… I am so sorry,” Rosie cried harder. She refused to stand up, as she was pregnant and her tummy was big.Dylan sighed and held her in both arms, carefully helping her stand back up on her feet. He told her, “It's okay. I am not angry with you. The reason I didn't pick up your calls before is because I would rather not have anything to do with you again… It's not like I am angry with you, but I don't want my wife to think that I have gone back to you or am now dating you again. It's okay, just stop crying, okay?”“No, Dy, it's not okay… I regretted everything that happened between us. I wish I hadn't come back to you; maybe I wouldn't be suffering this much now or even gotten involved with Frederick. My family could've reje

I will be home soon.”“Okay babe. I will be expecting you,” Jessica said, and the phone call was finally disconnected.Dylan smiled in relief and dropped his phone. He started his vehicle's engine and finally drove out of the restaurant where he had also stopped to get some ice cream for his kids, after leaving the bakery store.Arriving home, Dylan saw that it was already 8 PM. He stepped down from his white Jeep after parking in the garage and carried out the cake that was carefully wrapped, along with some other things he purchased, including the jewels and yogurt for his children.Dylan approached the mansion's frontage and wondered why the whole mansion looked dark as he only saw the security man at the gate.He didn't check the garage to see if Jessica had left the house, but she called him an

    At the Albert family mansion, inside the third-floor sitting room, Remy turned his back on Sharon. He knew she had lied to him about everything.

    Sharon smiled and told Frederick, "Don't worry about serving me anything, brother. I'll transfer 1 million dollars to you now, and if you manage it well, I'll give you another. But I hope Remy doesn't find out. He keeps loading my account with money and wonders why I don't spend it on ordering shoes and bags to look nice for him.""He's a good husband and wants you to look nice for him. I hope you can talk to him about me. I really miss my friendship with Rex. How's Rex doing now?" Frederick asked sadly. Sharon replied, "He's doing well, brother. Rex is married and has a son now.

Are you leaving for the office now?"Rosie sighed and replied, "Yes. Do you have money to take care of our kids? I hope you're not planning to sell off my two kids to raise money for yourself alone...""Rosie..." Frederick frowned and replied, "They're my kids too, and I don't need a DNA test to prove that. With the way you were comfortably cheating on me with Dylan... You can keep any money if you want. Or you might as well leave it.

You just got here today, and you already know your way around my house."“Our house, Rosie. Don't forget that we are still married and not yet divorced. I have equal rights to everything you have, including this house," Frederick said.“No, Fred!

    Jessica pushed the bedroom door open and saw Dylan sweating in the room as he sat on a blue chair.She immediately asked him, "Babe, so you're now dating Rosie again, right?""No, Jessica... Don't tell me that you're spying on me now? I was just telling Rosie that she cannot see me in my office, as she was requesting to meet with me today to discuss a partnership deal.
