Hesitant, Jessica glanced at the side of Byron's somber face. Summoning her courage, she asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?""It's about the trade department's Densel Level project. Get in the car."When Jessica realized that it was a work-related matter, her head throbbed. She couldn't possibly decline a work-related discussion.With anxiety, she got into Byron's car.As the car pressed on through the rain, Byron inquired about the Densel Level project. Jessica had also sensed that something was awry after the sales department had signed the contract.The sales department had made some adjustments to the numbers, and the manager had received a harsh reprimand for it. Now, it was too late to reverse this situation. They could only halt the Densel Level project once the first phase was complete.They could only make revisions to the contract during the second and third phases. It was the only way to mitigate losses.Jessica shared her thoughts. Byron nod

Jessica could sense the teacher's impatience during their phone call.

Kelly was the only one in the security office.She was holding some bread given by the security guard. "Kelly.""Mom!" Kelly called out to Jessica pitifully when she saw her.Jessica's heart ached at the sound of her daughter's pitiful voice. She quickly went to Kelly and wrapped her in her arms. "I'm here. Mom's here."The security guard, in his forties, observed Jessica and couldn't help but offer some words of advice. "You should know better as a parent. No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of your children. Look at how empty the school is!""I'm sorry. I got caught in the heavy rain. Thank you so much," Jessica continued to express her gratitude.

Jessica's heart ached at how frightened her daughter was. She held Kelly's face. "Don't be scared. No matter what happens, Mom is here."Jessica demonstrated exceptional acceptance, fully embracing the fact that she had no knowledge of who Kelly's father was. While others might have been quick to criticize the circumstances surrounding the child's parentage, Jessica chose not to do so. If word had spread within the community about Kelly's biological father, she would simply relocate with Kelly.Jessica quickly became resolute in her decision. Regardless of the circumstances, she was determined to always protect her daughter."Yeah, I will always have Mom." Kelly nodded vigorously.Kelly appeared so well-behaved.It was the weekend tomorrow. Jessica asked Kelly, "We'll have something simple for dinner tonight. I'll take you out for something nice tomorrow, okay?""Okay." Kelly nodded. She wasn't picky with her food.

Jessica was taken aback by how serious Kathryn had become. "What's the matter?"After the recent events, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when she saw Kathryn's stern expression. Kathryn's seriousness was typically an indicator of how grave the situation was.Kathryn took a deep breath. "Do you remember about staying in the wedding venue when you got married six years ago?""Yes, I remember!""Matthew had never set foot in that hotel before the wedding.""W-What do you mean?"Her face lost color instantly. Matthew had never been to the hotel, which meant he was not the man who had been in her room the night before the wedding.Kathryn noticed Jessica's face slowly paling. "You also know how passive Matthew was when you got married, so …"Jessica vividly remembered how passive he had been.Their parents had arranged their marriage, and Karen knew it was highly unlikely for Matthew to marry, given his conditions.So, the Quintons reluctantly accepted the idea of an

The poached chicken tasted amazing.Jessica made two more side dishes to go with the poached chicken. They were scrumptious. Kelly was silently eating her food. Jessica gave some of her chicken to Kelly, but the little girl thoughtfully put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate. She said, "It's too much, Mom and Aunt Kathryn. I can't finish it."Was she that full? They highly doubted it. A sorrowful feeling welled up in Kathryn's heart as she observed Kelly. Jessica's heart felt the same grief, too. "Silly girl, you should eat this. Your body needs the nutrients to grow."She placed the chicken back onto Kelly's plate as she spoke. Yet, Kelly was stubborn. As she was about to put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate, Kathryn quickly interfered, "I will give mine to your Mom. The baby in me doesn't like chicken that much."Kelly looked at Jessica. Jessica stopped Kathryn. But Kathryn gave Jessica a knowing look. If Jessica didn't eat the chicken, neither would the l

She didn't pay Kathryn any attention as she walked past.Kathryn breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Krista had let her off easy.The driver opened the car door for Kathryn. "After you, Mrs. Albert."The driver's greeting of "Mrs. Albert" caught Krista's ear. In the past, all she felt was utter hatred for whoever addressed Kathryn as "Mrs. Albert".Franco's wife, Mrs. Albert was still present, yet Chris instructed everyone to refer to Kathryn as Mrs. Albert.

Chris asked the kitchen to prepare meatballs for Kathryn's dinner. Her favorite was beef meatballs with chives and onion, but Chris didn't fancy them as much. So, he requested a steak instead.As Chris reached for his wine glass at the dining table, Kathryn inquired, "My sister is wondering who that man was from six years ago."With a contemplative nod, Chris remarked, "It's important to know, at the very least, who the child's father is."When a woman had no idea who her child's father was, it didn't just affect the child; it left a void in her life. So, uncovering the man's identity was of paramount importance. No matter what it took, she needed to know who the man was."Please discreetly investigate it then," Kathryn asked, her tone cautious. Caution was necessary in this matter. Otherwise, Jessica and Kelly would suffer the brunt of it again.Chris nodded in agreement.After dinner, Chris took Kathryn for a walk.Sunshine Bay was a vast area filled with private villas, a

Emily was not just his sister but also the closest person to him. Yet, he chose to hide this from her, too.Kathryn's heart ached for Chris again. He couldn't even trust the person closest to him.
