Instead of giving me an apologetic face, Jason shrieks in laughter. I shake my head and scoop him up."You are just like your father", I mutter, feigning annoyance but he isn't deceived by my look. He has just reminded me of what his father did to me this morning to pay for my kindness. "You are so stubborn like him."I wash him up and move out of the bathroom. He is in my arms as I

"I went to your office but was told that you are home, so I decided to pay you a visit."I growl. Why didn't Stella inform me of Emily's presence in the office? If she had done that, I would have asked the guards not to let her in. I didn't give it a thought after the other night.
