Jean nodded seriously after hearing that.She would definitely not make any contact with the Jacobses.However, she couldn't help but wonder why her own family treated her so horribly. Jean couldn't understand it.This wasn't an issue Mrs. Spencer could give her answers to.All she knew was that Jean's relationship with her own family had always been strained.She rarely heard Jean mention the Michaelses voluntarily.Jean gathered that her relationship with her family must've been strained from Helen's words.She recalled the first time she had asked Tyler about her family after she lost her memories. At the time, Tyler had readily replied that she had no family at all.Even though she had already spent three months in Faulkland without sending any news back home, the Michaelses had yet to reach out to her.The day before they returned to Henkel, Jean tossed and turned in the bed the entire night.She had gotten used to life in Faulkland. As such, the thought of going back to
After bidding farewell to Helen, Jean and Tyler embarked on their journey back to Henkel.Jean felt a bit nervous on the plane.Tyler kept holding her hand and comforting her throughout the flight.A few hours later, they finally landed at Henkel International Airport. Tyler led Jean through the VIP exit.As soon as they stepped outside, a car was already waiting for them at the entrance. Chris immediately jogged over and took the suitcase from Tyler."Mr. Larson, Madam, welcome back to Henkel," Chris greeted.Jean looked at Chris with a puzzled expression.Before she could say anything, Tyler said to her, "Chris is my most trusted assistant in Henkel. If you encounter any trouble here, feel free to contact him."Jean nodded firmly at that. If Chris was someone Tyler trusted so much, then it meant that Jean would trust him equally as much as well.Chris didn't look surprised at all when he noticed that Jean couldn't recognize him. He had long been aware of her memory loss.
When Jean heard Judy's words, she paused and pursed her lips lightly.Jean still had no idea of what her family was truly like at this point. She wanted to see for herself if her family was really as horrible as the Larsons made them sound.Tyler's gaze fell on Jean. Seeing that she had fallen silent, he said to the maid, "Let them in, but don't let them know that Jean and I are here."The maid nodded gently once she understood Tyler's intentions.Judy had caught on as well. She looked over at Jean and asked softly, "Jean, why don't you keep yourself hidden for the time being?"Jean nodded. "Alright."Then, she got up from the couch.Tyler rose with her and held her hand as they walked into the lounge.The lounge and the living room were separated only by a small arch. As such, they could hear the voices from the living room while they were in the lounge.Jean waited in the lounge for a short moment.A few minutes later, she heard a woman's voice."Madam Judy, sorry for both
Jean tried to step out of the lounge. However, Tyler pulled her back by her wrist before she could."Let me," he whispered. Then, he walked out of the lounge.When Dorothy saw Tyler, her expression changed slightly."So it seems that Tyler's here as well," she muttered.Dorothy couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty and fearful upon seeing him.Tyler glanced indifferently at Dorothy and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Michaels, the current market value of Teak Villa is several billion dollars. Do you really think we'll let you live in it just like that? The villa's not even in Jean's name."You realize that the properties that are in Jean's name, including Michaels Group and other assets, were mostly transferred by me to Jean? You should consider yourselves lucky that we haven't tried to reclaim any of that back."Dorothy looked a bit embarrassed upon hearing that. "Tyler, you're being ridiculous. Since you've already divorced Jean, her properties and assets have nothing to do with
Judy leaned on her cane for support as she walked into the lounge. When she saw Jean sitting on the chair with a desolate expression on her face, she reached out and took Jean's hand."It's okay, Jean. You still have us," she said softly.Jean felt warmth fill her heart at Judy's words. She felt a lot more secure."Thank you, Grandma. I feel much better now," Jean said.Smiling, Judy said gently, "Don't be sad. We're your real family."Jean nodded earnestly.At this moment, Coleen rushed in from the kitchen."I heard that Dorothy came by," she said, then looked over at Jean with concern.Dorothy was Jean's mother, after all. As such, Coleen tried her best to be considerate of Jean's feelings. She didn't say anything too harsh about Dorothy.Judy nodded and calmly replied, "She just left."Frowning, Coleen looked at Jean with concern."Was Jean seen?" she asked in a hushed tone.If the Michaelses had seen her, then Coleen figured that Jean would not be able to live in peace
Judy was in her 80s this year. As such, her health was gradually declining. Her robust voice no longer sounded as it once did.Hearing that, Jean nodded and replied, "You should rest more. Let me walk you to your room."Nodding, Judy reached out to hold Jean's hand. She allowed Jean to guide her to her room.Meanwhile, Coleen had sent someone upstairs to tidy up Jean and Tyler's room.As she was coming down the stairs, she saw Jean walk out of Judy's room.Upon seeing her, Coleen said, "Jean, you were on a plane the entire day. You haven't gotten any proper rest. You should go to bed early tonight. I'll take over from here."Jean nodded and replied, "Alright, Mom. Thank you."Smiling, Coleen said softly, "No problem. I'm just doing my duty. I can't help but worry whenever her condition deteriorates."Although Coleen and Judy were in-laws, they had been dependent on each other for many years. As such, their relationship resembled more like a mother-daughter relationship.Seeing
Tyler's gaze fell upon Jean as he spoke. When he saw Jean in a black lace nightgown, his expression changed without him meaning it to.Jean had been getting good sleep recently, and her body had become fuller. Instead of appearing fragile like before, she seemed curvier now.Tyler nervously swallowed as he glanced at her.Meanwhile, Jean felt awkward and kept tugging at her gown.But the neckline went down with each tug, making Tyler visibly uneasy.Tyler went over to Jean and helped her fix her nightgown.With an awkward smile, she asked, "Do you have any other pajamas? I don't feel quite comfortable in this one.""It's good as long as I'm comfortable looking at you in it," Tyler replied casually.Blushing, Jean said, "I'm not dressing up for you, okay?"Tyler chuckled as he responded, "It's just us here. Who else will you dress up for if not me?"Jean pursed her lips. Figuring she couldn't outtalk Tyler, she chose to stay quiet.Tyler beckoned to her in a cheerful mood
A sudden realization hit Jean, and her face turned all red.Neither of them slept well that night.The next morning, Jean wasn't feeling her best when she woke up. She had been somewhat tense during the night.When Tyler saw Jean woke up, he hugged her and said, "No need to be up so early."Jean pursed her lips and replied, "It's just my second day back. Oversleeping isn't good."Approaching Tyler, she planted a soft kiss on his cheek. "You rest a little more," Jean said.Her kiss was shy yet initiative. Noticing her blush, Tyler couldn't help but grin.Drawing her closer, he deepened the kiss.Jean could feel her heart racing.After a while, Tyler released her. He tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear and said, "I'll be downstairs in a moment."Blushing intensely, Jean nodded and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.Looking at her rosy cheeks in the mirror, she felt a different kind of feeling. She lightly patted her cheeks and couldn't help but feel shy.After fres
