The baby, who was expected to arrive in less than two months, arrived early. Emily went through labor smoothly and safely. The baby boy is now in Emily's arms, and they named him Liam.Their happiness is more complete with Liam's presence. Especially Lyla, who was so excited to welcome the baby brother she had been waiting for. Even since Jeffry had not yet found a replacement for Emilia, Lyla had often expressed her desire to have a younger sibling."Can I hold him later?" asked the little girl when Emily and Jeffry contacted her via video call. Emily, who was holding Liam, smiled and answered the innocent question."It's okay, baby. But it has to be with the help of an adult, okay?"Lyla flashed a smile that revealed her clean teeth, then handed the cell phone to Charles, who looked touched, staring at the screen where Jeffry clearly showed Liam's face."Thank you, dear. You've made this family so complete," Charles said, almost in tears. However, he quickly wiped them away and show
Shila had been at Emily's house for thirty minutes, and they were silent without saying anything. Jeffry had deliberately left them alone so they could spend time together because both Emily and Shila must have missed each other in the past when they could freely talk without being disturbed by anyone.However, Emily was silent. She didn't say a word, and Shila realized the strangeness of her friend."Em, what's going on? You don't seem to be in the best of spirits when I can hear your cheerful voice on the phone. Did something happen between you and Jeffry?" Shila asked, half-whispering so Jeffry wouldn't hear what they were talking about.Emily shook her head, looking weak and uncharacteristic. She then sighed and couldn't bear to bury the problem that had managed to occupy her attention since earlier."Shila, how long have you known Jeffry?" Emily asked, making her best friend frown. "I mean, did you know about his family and character before I knew him?"Shila looked like she was
Jeffry called the woman who called him and asked to meet at their usual place. In reality, Jeffry didn't recognize the number at all. He had never known any woman other than Emily and Shila, certainly not since Emilia passed away.Previously, Jeffry had never been interested in getting to know anyone, especially when he was still with Emilia. She was more than enough for him. And after Emilia passed away, only Emily managed to grab his attention.So Emily should no longer needs to doubt Jeffry's loyalty."Jeff, what are you doing? You don't have to do this—" prevented Emily, who could not continue her words because Jeffry had prevented her from speaking with hand gestures.Jeffry activated the loudspeaker so Emily could hear what he was talking about with the woman who contacted him at that time, assuring her that Emily's worries would not happen.Unfortunately, after several calls, the woman did not respond to any of his calls until he decided to give up."You see, she didn't have th
Jason was still in his apartment, cleaning up what was left of Tamara. He had forgotten some things that were left behind. His mind had been wandering for a while, and he had been drowning in turmoil for some time.Emily's decision broke his heart. That much was clear. And he no longer felt the same zest for life.Jason thought he could rebuild the marriage that had ended, and maybe he and Emily could be reunited next. However, it turned out to be no easy feat.Emily no longer wanted Jason like she used to.We realize how much we love and how precious someone is when we lose them. And Jason didn't expect that he would feel it too.His cell phone rang, who knows how many times. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, especially since everyone was happy about the birth of his son, Liam. And that's not the problem with Jason's current unhappiness.Emily had completely forgotten him as Liam's father. She didn't even give Jason any news and refused his calls, even if it was a few times.J
Emily was still stunned, thinking about Liam's current condition. She did not expect to experience something that she had never imagined. She also never interfered with anyone's life. So what caused one of her servants to do this?Was it only because of money? If so, why didn't anyone call for ransom or anything like that?"Emily, trust me, everything will be fine," Jeffry said as he held Emily. And Jason, who had been there all along, had to endure the pain in his heart seeing Jeffry and Emily's intimacy."I guess I'll just go home and watch." Jason got up from his chair and was about to leave the room, but he turned around and said everything to Emily. "Em, let me know if you get any information on Liam or ... if you need anything."He left without waiting for Emily's response because staying in that place also seemed impossible for Jason.It was too painful for him, and he couldn't let his heart feel so much pain from what he saw. Jason drove his vehicle at the minimum speed, wanti
The trio still couldn't believe that the undercover kidnapper knew so much about Jeffry's house. Does that mean they are long-time employees? Jeffry is pacing back and forth, trying to tame his raging feelings—between anger and sadness at losing Emily's baby. Seeing his wife's face so gloomy, Jeffry didn't know what to do to comfort her. "I've asked Edward to look for Liam, Em. You don't have to worry." Jason broke the silence that surrounded the three of them. Anxiety and fear mixed with the atmosphere around them. No one was not worried about Liam's current condition. Was the baby okay? Was he just a tool to avenge the hurt? Or is it to benefit Jeffry and Emily? "You don't have to do anything as if you're the hero here, McKennel! I've already mobilized my men to look for Liam. So you sit back and watch!" snapped Jeffry, who couldn't stand Jason's attitude. It was only natural for Jason to try to do everything he could; Liam was his son whom he hadn't even had the chance to mee
Jason smells something wrong with Tamara. There was a strange odor that he smelled as she approached. A scent he'd never breathed from her during their time together. This wasn't the typical Tamara scent that Jason had come to recognize. But what was this smell? "Are you drunk?" asked Jason, trying to pry the woman out of her without revealing the purpose of his question. Jason wasn't about to believe that Tamara was no longer with Jared. And that baby ... why would Jason want to meet Tamara's baby? After all, Jason once thought that the baby was his. So it couldn't hurt if he tried to get to know his niece, right? "Are you sure that you're not with Jared anymore? What about Thomas?" Jason prodded. Tamara shook her head. "We're still together but not as intensely. I'm back in my old house, Jase. And that apartment near your office, I sold a long time ago." Jason just nodded, trying to understand Tamara's explanation which still didn't satisfy him. There were many things he suspe
For the first time, Jason sees a cute little angel in the form of a baby. Liam, who had been crying, calmed down after Tamara gave him a bottle of milk which he managed to finish. Jason was so amazed, then lifted the baby in his arms. He looked at Liam's face, who was fast asleep; in his heart, Jason felt a vibration that he could not explain even with words. There was something in that baby that made him feel attached. "What's his name?" Jason asked the woman in his arms. "His name?" Tamara shook her head. "Oh, my God. I was so messed up I forgot to give him a name. Do you have any ideas? Surely he'll have McKennel after his name." Jason's brow furrowed. He would have loved to be allowed to name the baby. However, the baby was Jared's. "Come on, Jase. You can name your nephew." Tamara turned to face the man still holding Liam. "Besides, if we're back together, it makes no difference if it's your baby or not; you're still the father." Jason hesitated, but he wished he could name
