Charles invited Emily and Jason to dinner at the McKennel residence. The parents missed Jason and their daughter-in-law having a meal together and chatting as usual.

Emma herself contacted Emily to invite her daughter-in-law and son in person.

"We hope you will come. Charles asked me and some of the helpers to make a nice meal," Emma said, sounding excited.

Emily didn't have the heart to refuse. However, Jason always came home late, and she wasn't sure if he would go.

"I don't know about Jason; he's been busy with work lately. However, I can come, Mrs. McKennel; you can rest easy. I'll help you make Mr. McKennel's favorite snack." Emily answered her mother-in-law's invitation while flashing a happy smile.

"Oh, no, dear. Charles will nag me if you intervene in this matter. You'll be guests later, so don't touch anything because I've got a whole army of people to help," Emma said with an excited laugh.

"Alright then. I'll get everything ready for later. And I'll let Jason know in c

    Emily came out of the building she went to with Alex—her best friend from the orphanage. She couldn't help but solve the problem Alex was facing. The man has to divorce his wife due to domestic violence that was said to have been committed by his wife. Emily knew Alex well, even though she lived in the orphanage for only a few years before Charles adopted her. So she knew what Alex was going through and what he told her must be true. "What about you, Em? Are you happily married to Jason? He looks ..." Emily laughed when Alex didn't continue his sentence. "I know. Don't say it; otherwise, I'll be furious at you!" Emily said as she spat. "You still don't like it when I badmouth that jerk, huh? How much do you love him?" Alex, the man with copper-colored hair and dark eyeballs, looked at Emily with a meaningful gaze. His hand grasped Emily's fingers. "You still have me, Em. You can use this place of mine as a hideout if you want." Emily laughed again at Alex's serious-sounding stat

    Jason couldn't move when Emily calmly told him that the man who left with her was her ex-boyfriend. Emily doesn't mean to torture Jason with pain; she wants Jason to know what it's like to be doomed. There is another hidden fact and side of Emily's relationship with Alex, actually. They used to like each other, but it's not true they were ever in love. Emily just wanted to play with Jason. "What did you say? Ex-lover? And you went to the law institute with your ex-lover; what for, Emily?" asked Jason with a raised intonation. Jealousy maybe was the underlying attitude of Jason at the moment. Although he had hurt Emily many times, this was the first time he knew how it felt. And being jealous is very unpleasant. "Yes, is there a problem?" asked Emily with a tone of voice that was inversely proportional to that of Jason. The woman seemed so calm and guarded in her speech. "You asked, 'is there a problem'? The problem is that you're my wife, Em! Are you starting to lose your mind?" h

    Emily sat stunned after Tamara left. Emily was alone, because Jason drove Tamara back to her apartment. Emily's chest felt tight right now. All this time, she had tried to endure no matter how much Jason hurt her. However, for this one, she wouldn't stand for it. What kind of marriage would make her have to endure this much pain? Emily didn't want to wait for Jason to come home. She decided to leave. But where to go? She couldn't stay in that house because it would make her even sicker with the memories of Jason and all the pain and sweetness he had given her. Emily took her things and packed them up, and left without her vehicle. She didn't want Jason or anyone else to find her. She took a piece of paper and a pen, writing a few words to Jason that she was leaving to calm down so she would know what to do next. Emily hurried away before Jason returned, allowing new drama between them. If she and Jason still live their marriage like this, it will be impossible to get a solution be

    "You're going back to her?" asked Alex; Emily no longer cared what he was asking because the contents of Emily's head were scattered everywhere.How could she think straight at this point? Just imagining what would happen to her with this pregnancy and the mess of her marriage made her helpless.She was pregnant, just like Tamara, and they had even found out about it around the same time. So if Emily told Jason, would he care or believe what she said? Would he have decided to choose Emily? Or would he stick with Tamara?Emily nodded, answering Alex's question. She then turned to the man who had given her a place to stay last night and was about to say thank you. However, what happened next was that she became even more silent."I'm sorry, Alex," Emily said, full of regret. However, Emily was guilty of having made Alex a refuge; it had always been the case that whenever Jason made her cry, Alex was always the only one who returned the joy to

    Emily did not tell Jason where she was. She asked Jason to wait for her at the nearest bus stop, and they would meet there. And all she had to do for now was get out of Alex's mansion without giving the impression of running away.She wasn't running away, but shouldn't she wait for Alex to get home? Or at least contact Alex first and then decide to leave.She could then contact the man later.Now, Emily was organizing the things she had brought. Then after gulping down the milk provided on the dining table, she hurried out of Alex's residence. However, just stepping out of the door, one of Alex's bodyguards approached her."Where are you going, Ms. Karlton?" asked the man in the black suit. The strapping man looked probing; Alex asked him to look after Emily before leaving for the office.Emily was undaunted by the man in the black suit standing in her way. She was only uncomfortable because she felt she had to ask permission to leave Alex's residence."I have an appointment with some

    Emily didn't touch the food at all, especially when Alex himself had sent it to her. Alex's madness was utterly unacceptable to her. She knew that Alex had liked her for a long time, but she didn't expect that liking to turn into an unstoppable infatuation until he did this to Emily."Em ... eat first; after that, you can be mad at me again," Alex said as he handed a spoon filled with cream soup to Emily, who had not been served since yesterday.Emily did not answer or accept the food Alex offered. She only gave a glance and then chose to curl up and cover her whole body with a blanket.Emily could hear Alex sighing in despair because he couldn't get Emily to finish her food."Em ... I want you to know that I can care for and love you, unlike your husband. I'm even better than Jason.""I don't want to hear anything from you, Alex. Get out of my sight!""Em—""Get away! I hate you, Alex! Get out of this room and never show up again!"Alex sighed heavily, then got up and left Emily's ro

    Emily still couldn't understand what Alex was doing. He eventually decided on his own to take Emily back to Jason. Emily doesn't even ask for it anymore.She has resigned and has no desire to return, especially after Alex shows a photo where Jason is so happy with Tamara.Emily's chest was so tight, imagining what would happen to her after returning to Jason. However, this is the right choice so that she can see with her own eyes whether Jason is still with Tamara or not.If it turns out to be accurate, then what? Will Emily be able to choose to return to Alex if it turns out that Jason did that to her—as Alex said?Emily did not answer Alex's words. She finished her food, then waited until Alex was ready to take her back to the man who would soon become the father of the baby she was carrying.The man who had become her husband had promised many beautiful things long ago. She should be happy, but that's not how she feels now. She feels empty as if her soul is drifting somewhere.Alex

    Three months laterJason visited Emily and brought her a box of chocolates and a bouquet of her favorite flowers. Lili and Peonies that Jason still remembers today.Emily seemed happier than before, and of course, Jason's feelings also began to slowly calm down because he was freer to meet his son and spend time with Liam and Emily.She no longer rejects Jason's presence because she also needs him in Liam's care. She doesn't think of another love; her life is only for Liam now. She will do anything for her baby."Have you eaten yet? I brought your favorite food. Chinese food and spaghetti," Jason said with a bright smile.Seeing what Jason had brought and placed on the dining table, the two hazel eyes rounded."Seriously, Jase, this is a lot. Who's going to finish it?" asked Emily. "I'm on a diet."Jason chuckled at his ex-wife's words and got up and walked over to her, and grabbed both her hands."You still have to breastfeed Liam, and then your figure will return on its own.""What

    In a different place, Jason repeatedly clucked and swore because Alex didn't come. Where did he go to relieve himself for so many minutes? Jason suspected that instead of going to the bathroom to relieve himself, Alex was meditating.Jason looked at the black clock in his hand. The long hand of the clock had changed to four. That meant he had been in his apartment for over twenty minutes."Where is he?" muttered Jason.Jason checked his cell phone. It was dead, so he couldn't use it to contact Alex. After charging it in the car, it finally turned on.Jason hurriedly searched for Alex's contact name. As soon as he wanted to call, three messages appeared from the person he was waiting for.Jason opened them. There was one slightly long video there. A little suspicious, Jason finally played it. In the video, he only saw a white image. Jason snorted in annoyance."What is he doing exactly." Just about to press the button again, Jason heard a voice. The white video finally changed, showing

    Jason ignored Alex's words. At Alex's house, Jason had a heated argument with the man. Shila even had to break it up. Because of the woman's words, Jason left and returned to his apartment to get something. He was going to get ready to meet Jeffry.Who would have thought that Alex would follow him? Finally, the man stopped at the door of his apartment."Move!" Jason said for the umpteenth time but did not get a response from Alex. Alex shook heis head. "You want to get into more trouble? If there's anything wrong with Jeffry, he can deny all charges," Alex explained. The man's face looked solemn."Then, you want me to stand by while he manages to make Emily the victim of his physical and sexual abuse? You want me to stay silent and let him laugh out loud in the hospital bed?" Jason's eyes were full of flames of anger.Alex looked down because he couldn't bear to stare at the man's eyeballs, which seemed ready to destroy his through invisible lasers. Alex clenched his fists. Honest

    Shila bit her lip. Her heart beat fast because the two people she was waiting for had disappeared. "What are they looking for? What took them so long?"Evil thoughts about her two friends immediately came to mind. Maybe they were caught and were being beaten up by the burly guards.Shila shook his head. Her heart almost jumped when she heard a noise next to her. She thought she was caught too, but it was far from it as she saw Jason and Alex.Shila then approached the two of them. "Are you guys okay? Did you make it?"Jason nodded. "Looks like luck is on our side. We managed to get the footage." Jason took the pen drive he had saved and showed it to Shila.The woman let out a long sigh. Showing that a heavy burden had just been lifted. Shila, who had been filled with fear, could now smile broadly. "Good. With that recording, Emily can get out of prison right away."Alex patted his shirt. "Before that, we have to see the video."Jason put his arm around Alex. He slipped the car keys in

    The three people who had just arrived were invited to sit by a man wearing a black suit. Jason thought it was not the same suit he had worn last night. The man, who was in his forties, looked fit. However, a few gray hairs appeared in his hair."So, what's your plan?" asked Jason as he looked through the documents before him."You haven't introduced them to me yet," said Mark, full of awareness, then took turns looking at Alex and Shila.Alex hurriedly held out his hand as a sign of introduction and seemed more polite. "Ah, sorry. I'm Alex, Emily's best friend."Mark welcomed the handshake kindly. Seeing what Alex did, Shila also did the same."Sorry, Jason was probably too excited to investigate this case. So, he didn't have time to introduce the two of us." Shila smiled sweetly. "Oh yeah, introduce me to Shila, Jason, and Emily's best friend, the current suspect."Mark also greeted Shila kindly. "Okay. I'm Mark Jefferson. Jason's father's best friend and the detective he appointed t

    Jason's idea then made the three people pay full attention to Tamara. From now on, Jason will take over the investigation of the woman. Meanwhile, Alex and Shila will look for something about Jeffry. Both are determined to make the man pay for what he did to their best friend."I'm going home.""What for?" Shila's brow furrowed. "What about Tamara? Don't you want to investigate on your own?"Jason nodded. "I am. But I'll ask my parents to contact Detective Jefferson. I didn't get a chance to meet them yesterday."Alex patted Jason's shoulder. "Alright. You can go home; we will look for information about Jeffry.""Good. Then I'll go now. You guys take good care of it."Alex and Shila answered together with confidence.Jason excused himself and headed straight to his parent's house. Yesterday, he didn't meet them because Jared's presence made him emotional. The man who had the misfortune of being Jared's brother chose to leave rather than cause a more complicated commotion.

    Emily was indeed much safer at Alex's mansion. After Shila and Jason took turns visiting her today, due to the weekend, the four got together and discussed Liam.Jason, suspicious of Tamara, let her stay in his apartment with Aaron. However, with Emily in Alex's residence, Jason has to go back and forth between his apartment and Alex's house to ensure Emily is okay.After all, he doesn't know Alex, and anyway, Alex is a man who used to be very close to Emily. Even now, Jason still couldn't accept that fact."I can't say anything other than one thing; I'm keeping an eye on someone who might shed some light on Liam," Jason said as he reviewed the files on the report Jason had filed with the police. "They're not moving at all. Look!"Alex looked thoughtful as she heard Jason's words."Don't you think someone influential plays a role in this case? Who knows if it's true? I can confirm that Jeffry is the one," Alex said."You mean Jeffry paid the police not to investigate this case? This i

    Tamara had just finished showering. She waited for Jason, who hadn't called her. "Where exactly is he? He hasn't even called me all day." Tamara scowled and headed for her dressing table. She looked at her reflection. Tamara saw a beautiful woman with a charming smile before her. Tamara liked the shape of her face. "No wonder so many men like me. Because I am beautiful," she praised herself. Reminiscing about the many men, Tamara could hardly believe that she had been in a relationship with Jason's brother-her current boyfriend. Tamara shook her head. The man was nothing more than an asshole. Tamara was too lazy to talk about it. Tamara stroked her belly. "It's probably a good thing me and Jared's baby wasn't born. Although I'm sad, there's no way I can hide that fact forever." Speaking of babies, Tamara remembered Aaron—Liam's new name, the son of Emily and Jason. Jeffry's words replayed in her head. She remembered clearly when Jeffry told her to get rid of Liam. The baby she now

    Jeffry didn't care that his cell phone kept ringing. He continued to curse Emily. That crazy woman had the nerve to stab him. Jeffry alerted his two guards to help. It didn't take long for the two guards to find Jeffry still on the bed with a knife stuck in his body.One of the guards called an ambulance. About fifteen minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived and took Jeffry to the hospital.The man swore that he would make Emily feel even more pain than before. Because of him, she had gotten into a place she hated.***Elsewhere, Emily managed to reach a pay phone. She called Alex and told him about her situation. Of course, Alex was surprised when he heard Emily's story. Even though it was late at night, Alex immediately drove to take Emily to his mansion. Alex also called Shila to come over, as well as Jason.Now, the three of them were at Alex's residence. Shila cried when she first saw Emily's condition. She was only wearing an oversized shirt and shorts. Emily wasn't even we
