From the nearby babysitter's perspective, she saw a family of three embracing. And it was full of love and affection.

Carol was wrestling with her mashed potatoes during breakfast.

Paityn observed the little girl for a while before she looked up at Jamie and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

Jamie’s gaze towards her was somewhat unclear.

Paityn might've had a fiery temper, but being looked at like that by Jamie made her feel a little uneasy. She brushed aside a strand of hair from her cheek and spoke in a very soft tone,

"Let’s wait a bit longer before taking Carol back. I’m worried she won’t adjust well. She’s only just returned from Silvercrest not long ago."

Jamie’s eyes were deep and inscrutable. Overall, he didn’t look too happy. Before he could say anything, however, Carol lifted her head and spoke softly while she was still battling her mashed potatoes,

"I want to visit Grandpa and Grandma. I also want to go to school… Mama."

Jamie affectionately

    Zoe replied, "With Jamie's low-key personality, do you really think he would have shared a toast with Yara in a situation like last night? He must have wanted to provoke someone."Mason quickly understood, "He's really good at hiding things."Zoe guessed that Jamie probably just found out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold it in for long. She didn't say much more because she heard familiar footsteps from the entrance. Then, Jamie came in carrying a cute little girl.Just as the household staff had said, the little girl was clearly a child of the Lockwood family.Mason felt a rush of excitement. He had envied the Sanders family for having Lola last night. Now, however, the Lockwood family suddenly had such a big addition. Hey, Carol looked to be at least four years older than Lola.Mason thought to himself that it didn't matter how successful Lorian's business was. He's still slightly behind Jamie when it comes to having children. For crying loud, Jamie’s child is already old

    Meanwhile, Mason sneered, "You're gloating now, but just wait—you'll regret it later! Paityn isn't as easy to deal with as Tegan. She’ll definitely have you crying for dear life! "Don't bother coming back asking for help when that happens. Your mom and I will be too busy picking Carol up from school, going shopping, and taking her to the amusement park!"Jamie didn’t respond.Mason ignored him and went upstairs with Zoe to check out the rooms. The south-facing bedroom was indeed spacious and bright, measuring over 1000 square feet. Zoe looked at the layout and had already formed some initial ideas, while Mason added some suggestions. Surprisingly, Carol was also getting along well with them.Once the two grandparents had settled everything, Jamie finally said slowly, "Carol will stay here for two months, but she will return to Paityn afterward."Mason was not pleased. "What? You're not bringing her home?"Jamie replied, "I have my own plans."Mason scoffed, "Plans? Heh, you’r

    Zoe chose to stand by and watch.Upon hearing that, Jamie didn't seem bothered at all. Now that he had Carol, it was only a matter of time before Paityn would also be part of their lives.…At 9:30 am, Jamie went to the company. After the regular meeting, he returned to his office to handle some piled-up affairs. As noon approached, he picked up his phone and toyed with it for a while before dialing Paityn's number. She quickly answered the call. After the line connected, however, there was a silence between them. After a moment, Jamie softly said, "I’ll pick you up tomorrow at noon. We’re having dinner at my place." Before Paityn could respond, he added, "It’s just family relatives." She remained quiet and didn't say anything.Actually, Paityn wanted to ask what her identity would be when she went over. She also wanted to know if Yara would be there, but after feeling disappointed a few times with Jamie, she felt too embarrassed to bring it up.Jamie noticed that Paityn did

    Jamie felt a sense of guilt towards Yara, having watched her grow up. He couldn't just ignore her in her current state. So, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He frowned slightly as he said, "I'll take you home."Yara was surprisingly clingy. She wrapped her arms around Jamie like a koala. She looked up at him with a silly smile, and she even leaned in to kiss his chin.Jamie was taken aback by her boldness, and he was momentarily stunned. However, this moment was seen by Paityn. She had come to the area for a dinner meeting with EverReach Co.'s Monty. As she got out of her car and was heading towards the business club across the street, she caught sight of Jamie and Yara. The duo was embracing, and they looked very intimate with each other.Jamie's coat was draped over the young woman as she looked up, seeking a kiss. His face was a mix of fondness and helplessness. Paityn had known Jamie for a considerable time, but she had never seen that expression on h

    Jamie felt a bit neglected. After a while, he suppressed his anger and said, “I’ll pick you up from the office tomorrow at noon. Don’t forget about it.”Paityn stood in the corridor of the business club. She looked up at the crystal chandelier above, with a hint of moisture in her eyes. She recalled the scene of Jamie embracing Yara, and a wave of bitterness rose in her heart. Her voice turned hoarse as she replied, “I have something important tomorrow, so I might not be able to go. Besides, that kind of occasion isn’t really for me.”Jamie asked, “Why wouldn’t you go?”…The night was dimly lit. Paityn felt utterly pointless. What she wanted was never an ambiguous relationship. Instead, she wanted something unique. She was a bit tipsy when she asked softly, “Do you love me, Jamie?” On the other end of the phone, there was heated breathing akin to a whisper in a lover's ear. However, Paityn didn’t receive a clear answer. Jamie paused and asked her, “Have you been drinking

    The interior of the car was dim, and Paityn’s face was as pale as a ghost. She looked at Jamie's disdainful expression. All of a sudden, she understood that they came from a vastly different world even after being with him for years and having Carol together. Why else would Jamie have looked at her like this? Why else would he be so affectionate with Yara while simultaneously humiliating Paityn? Paityn thought she was simply too naïve and ridiculous. She allowed a life of comfort to soften her so much that she developed a romantic mindset. How could she even ask Jamie if he loved her earlier today? What kind of answer was she expecting from him?Now, Jamie had given his answer. As far as he was concerned, Paityn was nothing but a woman who would sleep with everyone. He thought that she would let any man have their way with her if it meant it could improve her business.Paityn couldn't believe she actually dared to hope that Jamie would love her. After a moment of silence, she sm

    Jamie sat in the car, watching Paityn leave. He felt a surge of anger and quickly drove away from her villa. The crescent moon hung high in the sky, appearing so cold and distant. The faster Jamie drove, the colder his heart became. It was as if it was filled with icy water. He felt a deep sense of loss, to the point where this usually cautious person became distracted. Then, he drove directly into the green belt in the middle of the road.With a loud bang, Jamie's car crashed hard against a concrete block. The sound of shattering accompanied the deployment of the airbags. Jamie was stunned by the immense impact for a few seconds, then struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car. Smoke was billowing from the hood, and it was clear the car was no longer drivable.Fortunately, there were no cars passing on this stretch of road. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to think of the consequences. Jamie stood under the streetlight and stared at the smoking hood of the car. Aft

    By the time Jamie arrived home, it was close to midnight. The night was as cool as water. Mason hadn’t slept and had been waiting in the living room for Jamie. The dim light highlighted his chiseled features. Although he was nearly 60 years old, he still looked well-maintained and quite handsome. “You’re still awake, Dad!” Jamie took off his coat and tossed it casually onto the sofa. Then, he sat down and pulled out a cigarette to smoke it. Mason looked at him and chuckled lightly, “You usually don’t smoke at home. What’s going on? Did a woman give you a hard time? Is Carol's mom mad at you?” Jamie leaned back on the sofa, his mind replaying the scene he had witnessed at the club entrance. He felt like a worthless man. Monty was a divorced old man who could still win over Paityn.Jamie felt a mix of sorrow and anger. However, he couldn't bring himself to say anything either for Carol or out of a man's pride. He thought back to the moment when he confronted Paityn. If Pait

    The parking lot was cold, making Molly shiver. Ocelotte opened the door of gray Cullinan, gesturing for Molly to get in. She hesitated, afraid that the wine stains on her clothes would dirty his car. However, it was clear that he didn’t mind. Ocelotte's eyes showed a hint of displeasure as he commanded, “Get in.”Only then did Molly cautiously get in, trying her best not to dirty his car. After a moment, Ocelotte followed and got into the car. Inside, the only sound was the faint click of seat belts, and that small noise made Molly feel like a startled bird. She turned her head slightly and whispered, “Where are we going?”Ocelotte buckled his seatbelt, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. After a long silence, he replied with a touch of mockery, “To the hotel. "What’s this? After a few years in the entertainment industry, you’ve learned how to play hard to get with men and pretend to be innocent?”“I haven’t,” Molly quickly responded. Her voice was husky and tinged with hes

    The private room immediately fell silent. At first, someone muttered something like "crazy" under their breath. When they saw it was Ocelotte, however, no one dared to say another word. Ocelotte slowly stood up. He stepped over the red wine stains and walked straight to Molly’s side. He looked down at her from a height, taking in her disheveled state. He looked at the red wine stains on her long lashes. Her lips were bitten and broken, and a bloodstained mark on her pale neck. Molly tilted her head back, and her body trembled slightly. Their gazes intertwined. Ocelotte’s voice was low and hoarse as he stared into her eyes and asked, “Is this the life you’re chasing? Are you happy? Is it a good feeling, being humiliated for a little bit of money?”The people in the room were quick-witted, and with just a glance, they knew exactly what to do. The female stars and models immediately opened the bottles of red wine. Then, they poured the wines over themselves, dousing thei

    In the private room, about ten people were there, including Ocelotte. The atmosphere was lively. Except for Scarlett, no one knew that Ocelotte and Molly were old acquaintances. So, when the second-generation rich were acting up, they didn’t spare Molly. Since she was the most attractive one in the room, they particularly forced alcohol on her. Three glasses of red wine were neatly placed on the coffee table. A man named Mayson Hogan took a check for 10 million dollars from his pocket and pointed at the three glasses of wine.Mayson said to Molly, “Don’t you want to pull in some investments? Drink these three glasses, take this check, and consider it my investment.” If Molly drank those three glasses, she’d either be dead drunk or fall over. Scarlett immediately forced a smile, saying, “Molly still has to play cards with you. Let me drink this wine. How about I pour three more glasses, Mr. Mayson?” After saying that, Scarlett poured two more glasses. Before she could dr

    An hour later, the gray Cullinan slowly drove into the Sanders Manor. Ocelotte opened the car door, his tall frame of six-foot-two passing through the foyer and into the living room. Although it was already the middle of the night, the Sanders Manor was still brightly lit. Noah was waiting for his youngest son to return late. Hearing the noise, Noah put down the chess pieces in his hands. He looked up and smiled at Ocelotte, who looked heartbroken. "Out prowling in the middle of the night? Did you catch anything?" Ocelotte took off his coat and casually tossed it onto the sofa. Then, he instructed the housekeeper, "Make me some sandwiches, Kendra." Kendra had always been fond of him. She quickly untied her apron and went to the kitchen. A little while later, she brought over some sandwiches.As Ocelotte ate the sandwiches in large bites, Noah silently walked over. The latter watched his son and silently urging him to hurry up.Ocelotte put down the sandwich and said indif

    The night was as dark as ink. The gray Cullinan blended into the night, slowly fading away in front of Molly, the red tail lights glimmering like fleeting fireworks. Ocelotte was here one moment and gone the next.“I miss you, Ocelotte.” Molly stood in the darkness, murmuring softly. The wound on her knee split open, blood dripping onto the gray concrete floor, forming a stark and heartbreaking contrast. Her small, almond-shaped face looked pale, almost ghostly in the black night. Suddenly, the car ahead came to a stop. With tears at the corners of her eyes, Molly's lips trembled uncontrollably. Yet, she managed to force out a fragile smile. Ocelotte! Ocelotte! Molly ran toward him quickly, forgetting the bleeding knee and the boundaries Ocelotte had set for her. She was to never appear before him again.Molly only wanted to go to him and see him once more, just to get a chance. The expensive car and the distinguished man still made her hesitate just one meter awa

    Behind the car, Molly saw him. She stood there dazed, staring blankly as the gray Cullinan slowly drove away. Her face was drenched in rain and confusion. She knew all too well the vast gulf between them. One was the second son of the Sanders Group, the president of Fowlerlotte Tech Co. with a status worth billions. Meanwhile, Molly was just a small-time actress. They were as far apart as clouds and mud. Not to mention, she carried a past full of stains that couldn’t be washed away, no matter how hard she tried. Molly was lost in her thoughts, and the director’s angry roar jolted her back. “Do you not want to finish filming? Dragging your feet like this! If you acted better, we wouldn’t have to keep redoing the scene!” Scarlett quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, although she knew exactly what was going on. The director wanted to have sex with Molly, but she refused, so now he was deliberately making things difficult for her. Sometimes, Scarlett couldn’t he

    Although Ocelotte didn’t engage in those matters himself, as a member of the Sanders family, he was well aware of the ways of the business world. If it had been someone else, he might have been indifferent, understanding it as just a means to make a living. However, it was because it was Molly that he only found her shameless. Ocelotte looked at Molly and deliberately asked with a mocking tone, "Oh? Is there another act?"Molly's body trembled slightly.The senior manager finally picked up on the situation. She glanced at Molly, then at Ocelotte. The young tech mogul's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery, leaving the scene unbearably awkward.Still, Scarlett, who had witnessed her share of tense moments, quickly shifted the topic.However, Ocelotte showed no intention of being considerate. He opened his laptop with a loud snap and ruthlessly dismissed her. "Ms. Molly does not align with our company's image. Please show her out, Sarah."…Ocelotte's assistant, Sarah Moss

    The reunion of old lovers was met with a deathly silence. Ocelotte's dark eyes were like ink, while Molly's delicate face was pale. She gazed helplessly at the young man, her mind echoing with memories of their once-sweet moments together."If only you had a lot of money, Ocelotte. If I had money, that would be fine too!"Ocelotte. If I had a lot of money, I'd fund you to start a big tech company, and then you wouldn't be sad about not being able to play basketball anymore. I’d be the behind-the-scenes boss, and you could be CEO."I always dream about it, but money is so hard to earn, Ocelotte."…In the small winter cabin, two young bodies were wrapped in wool blankets, holding each other tightly.The lady rested her head on the man's strong shoulder, murmuring softly. There was a sadness in her eyes that the boy couldn’t see.After today, she would be leaving. She would take a million to train abroad and become a big star. She would make a lot of money, and then start a compan

    Yanni smiled gently. "Yes, I'm over five months pregnant! I’ll probably give birth around spring."Gael did the math in his head. By that time, he would have already settled abroad. He wouldn't be able to give Yanni's child any gift right away. If it weren't for worrying about Keaton's feelings, Gael might have even considered becoming the child's godfather. Then again, he had Ella. He was technically her biological father in name.Ella seemed to like him quite a bit. She sweetly called out, "Uncle Gael."Gael smiled and patted her head. Then, he took two candies out of his pocket. He had just attended the wedding banquet and happened to have them on hand. He handed one to Ella, who eagerly peeled it open and popped it into her mouth.Gael couldn’t help but hug Ella. This was the child he and Yanni had in name, but also a lingering thought of his. He couldn't help feeling a mix of emotions as he held her. When he let go, he noticed his new wife standing quietly beside him. Her
