The night was enchanting as the breeze flurried gently. In the garden of Green Jade Garden, Jenna and Jaqueline walked side by side. "Jaqueline, just cut to the chase. Why are you looking for me?" Jenna smiled and started the conversation. In reality, she wasn't all that chummy with Jaqueline, and she really did not know why she would come looking for her. Jaqueline smiled and stated her purpose very politely. "Jenna, I came to see you because I had something to ask you for help. Would you be willing to help me?" Jenna was stunned upon hearing this, but she very quickly and modestly replied, "Jaqueline, I am just an ordinary woman. I really don't know what I can do to help you, but don't worry, as long as it is within my abilities, I will give it my all." "Great, I'm relieved to hear you say that." Jaqueline immediately smiled and said happily, "Jenna, you are not ordinary at all, and I believe that you can help my father." "Your father?" Jenna final
Jenna stood there in a daze and couldn't tell if Jaqueline was joking or not. Logically speaking, she had never seen this bright girl shaken up before. If it hadn't been for this reason, perhaps she wouldn't have acted like this. Thinking back to that afternoon, Jaqueline had been behaving rather politely. She wouldn't have lost to Jenna in any aspect. However, Madam Lilian had been indifferent and behaved coldly towards her, and she also treated Nuncio as evasively as she could. Jenna was also confused for a moment. She couldn't bear to see Jaqueline so stirred up. Thus, she took her hand and consoled her with a smile. "Jaqueline, if things are really as you said, that Madam Lilian is just unwilling to help resolve the dispute because of her prejudice against the Moore family, then I will try my best. Although I may not be able to achieve anything, I promise that I will ask her for help. What do you say?" "Really?" Jaqueline's eyes sparkled as she asked joyfully.
"Mom, Mom." No sooner had Jenna walked out of the gate to the Ink Garden than she saw Larry stepping out of the electric car with Jerry. As soon as he caught a glimpse of Jenna, he shouted and ran over to her. He pestered her and said, "Mom, you promised me last night that you would take me to Ocean Park to play. Don't go back on your word." Jenna looked down at Jerry's tiny tender face, which was flashing with a sheer exuberant smile. Her heart was moved, and a warm smile appeared on her lips. She bent down and held him in her arms. "Mom, I'm going to the underwater park to sleep with the great white shark, okay?" Jerry put his arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek with his small lips, pleading with her in his childish voice. Jenna gently touched his face with her hand. "Who in this world didn't want to reunite with their own flesh and blood as soon as possible?" When Madam Lilian's words replayed in her ears, Jenna felt an uncanny feeling in her hea
"Yes indeed, Mr. Richards. Madam Lilian has a lot of qualms now. I think what tops the list is Sara's health and the fear of aggravating her condition." Paul analyzed the situation pertinently. Hansen's gaze turned deep and dark, and there was a faint exhilaration in his heart. It turned out that Madam Lilian had helped him several times because of Jenna's background. When he thought about it, Paul said clearly from the opposite side, "Mr. Richards, not only does Sara have this background but there is also another unexpected background. I am afraid that only Vivian knew about this matter. After all, Sara had been secretly raised by her since she was eleven years old." When Hansen heard this, he raised his head. His eyes were wide open in shock. "Paul, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that Sara has another identity?" he asked, and his face was cloaked with confusion. "Mr. Richards, I'm afraid it's true." Paul nodded and continued to say with certainty, "Sa
"Hansen, Jenna." A soft and clear female voice came from the front. The two raised their heads and were met with Jaqueline standing in front of them, looking at them with a playful and bright smile on her face. Hansen's sharp brows drew together slightly. Paul had mentioned that Sara was Johan's granddaughter. In that case, Jaqueline would be considered to be Jenna's cousin. He couldn't help eyeing Jaqueline more than ever. After secretly comparing them, he realized that there was a bit of similarity in their looks. It was just that back then, he hadn't known and examined them carefully. "Jaqueline, is there something?" Hansen looked at her and asked calmly. They were together and she just interrupted them straight away. Was there something important? "Hansen, I have something to discuss with you," Jaqueline announced with utmost grace. "Then, let's talk here." Hansen looked displeased. He only wanted to comfort Jenna right then and not leave her for some
"Jenna, if you don't want to go to the hospital, then stay at home. Let the medical team check the baby for you." As soon as he entered the door, he picked up Jenna and sat down on the couch, placing his big hand on her lower abdomen and gently stroking it. Jenna felt nothing but profound weariness. She slightly closed her eyes and leaned against Hansen's sturdy chest. When she listened to his calm heartbeat, she felt a strange sense of solace. She wound her arms around his waist tightly and buried her face in his chest. She murmured, "Hansen, don't leave me. Stay with me for a while." Her soft body fell pliantly into his embrace. Hansen hugged her tightly. When he heard her soft words, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. At that moment, he felt an incomparable sense of bliss. His mind was blinded by this kind of happiness, so much that should a feeling of unease spring up from the depths of his heart, it would be automatically filtered away. He lik
"Quick, examine Jenna. She has passed out from the shock," Hansen roared, agitated. Hearing this, the medical team didn't dare to be careless and immediately got to it. After a while, Jenna inhaled a deep breath and gradually woke up. She opened her eyes for only a brief moment before she remembered something. She struggled to her feet and cried out in anguish, "Jerry." "Jenna, calm down." Jenna leapt to her feet and wanted to storm outside, but Hansen went and grabbed her. Jenna turned around and looked up with tearful eyes. When she saw that it was Hansen, she cried out in pain, "Hansen." She threw herself into his embrace. "Hansen, quick, Jerry is missing. Our child is missing. Quick, search for him." Hansen hugged her tightly and comforted her. "Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for him. You're pregnant now, don't get too worked up. Rest at home first, I'll look for him myself." He helped her lie down on the bed as he spoke. The
"Well, well, well, she's indeed the woman you've fooled around with! A brief nudge and she sprang up in your mind, didn't she?" Zoella's voice was very soft, wedged with a hint of disgust. After being thrown off for a split-second, it dawned on Hansen. It was Aria indeed. He couldn't help but to unexpectedly breathe in a mouthful of cold air. "Zoella Yates, allow me to tell you, I've neither played around with Aria, nor did I ever touch her. I don't even come close to being known as someone who abandoned her after messing around with her. She was the one who pestered me. I didn't expect each of you women to be more heartless and vicious than the other. Looks like you really won't shed tears until you see your coffin. Gird your loins accepting God's very own wrath." He said coldly, "You'd better tell me where Aria hid my son right now." "Hey, hey." Zoella smoked leisurely on the other line, not in a hurry at all. After slowly puffing a smoke ring, she said coldly
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
