Jay’s POVAfter knowing the truth that Piper was Jessie’s biological mother and that she was the woman I spent the night with seven years ago, I felt happy. Especially since then, I often observed Piper and Jessie and I just realized that Jessie looked happy to be next to Piper. She smiled often, and I got a report from her homeroom teacher that Jessie’s grades improved. In addition, her behavior has gotten better. She behaves more empathetic and friendly towards her classmates than before. Piper’s existence had a big impact on Jessie.Jessie has become a sweet girl whose attitude has become even more mature. I was grateful that Piper finally came into our lives. Aside from that, I’ve also been watching Megan, and I felt terrible for Jessie because I realized too late that Megan has never been nice to Jessie.I was standing at the window of my office, watching Jessie and Piper swimming. Not long after, they climbed up and sat down on the lounge chairs close to the pool. I saw Piper ge
Jay’s POV“Ah, I wanted to get some water before going back to check a lot of documents,” I replied as I walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of mineral water.Before stepping out of there, I smiled at them as I showed them the bottle of water. Piper and Jessie just looked at me and said nothing. Then I hurried out of the kitchen while holding back my embarrassment. However, before I got any further from the kitchen, I faintly heard Lily’s voice saying, “Thirty minutes ago, Sir asked for some water to be brought into his workroom. Maybe I didn’t bring enough to drink.”“Dad rarely drinks much mineral water. He prefers to drink wine,” Jessie said. It seemed like they soon realized my purpose in the kitchen. Could it be that Piper would think I was weird? An hour later, Jessie knocked on my workroom door. “Yes, come in,” I replied. She opened the door with a big smile. After closing the door, she ran over and hugged me. “Dad, let’s have dinner. Piper made
Jay’s POV“Piper!” I rushed to open the bathroom door, hoping she was okay. My mind instantly went blank and my heart beat faster. I hoped nothing bad had happened to her. I saw her lying in the bathtub with the warm water faucet still running and flooding the bathroom floor. Her head was lying on a pile of towels and her long hair was loose. I hurriedly turned off the water faucet, picked up the towel on the table beside the bathtub, got into the bathtub, lifted her body out of the bathtub, and covered her with the towel. I carried her body out of the bathroom and laid her down on the bed. The towel was still covering her body. I sat beside her as I patted her face several times, trying to wake her up. “Piper, Piper, are you okay?” I asked worriedly. She was breathing, but her eyes were closed. “Piper, Piper.” I kept calling her name. Not long after, her body moved, her eyes opened. Once her eyes were wide open, she looked directly at me. We looked at each other and for a spl
Jay’s POV“Jessie, it’s not what you think. Listen to me. I dropped off clothes and a sweater for Piper because I thought she must not have brought clothes and a sweater in this cold weather. However, when I knocked on her door several times, there was no answer from inside. Finally, I tried to open the door to her room and found that she hadn’t locked it. After putting the clothes and sweater on the bed, I heard the water faucet running continuously, but Piper didn’t answer at all, even though the bathroom door was slightly open. I decided to approach the bathroom door and found water pouring out of the bathroom. I panicked and spontaneously opened the bathroom door and I saw Piper lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed and her mouth almost drowned. I quickly lifted her out of the bathtub and laid her on the bed. What followed was a misunderstanding. I respect her. So, does my daughter still misunderstand?” I asked as I stroked the back of her hand.Jessie shook her head and smile
Piper’s POV“Ah, Piper. Please have a seat. I’ll put on my clothes first. Wait a minute,” he said as he grabbed a shirt and trousers from the bed, then he hurried into the bathroom. I didn’t dare to look at him, so all I did while waiting for him to finish getting dressed was to keep my head down and my eyes on the floor. He made my face flush red and my heart beat faster. He’s such a tease!“Piper, why are you being so quiet? Oh, Jessie wants to come with you to watch the competition at your son’s school. Is that okay?” he asked from inside the bathroom. Hearing him ask me something, I spontaneously looked up and stared at the bathroom door, which wasn’t closed. How could that be? Did he do it on purpose? But why would he do that?“It’s not that I mind if Jessie comes with me, it’s just that,” I replied. It was just that her arrival would cause a stir and there would be a lot of questions asked of me. I wasn’t ready because I still had gotten no information. However, I couldn’t r
Piper’s POVI turned around and saw Mom walking along with Jensen. Maybe that was a time for me to explain everything to them. I never expected things to go so fast. Jessie also turned around while holding my hand and looked at Jensen. Then she looked at me with a questioning and confused look. “H-he,” she said. “Piper, him,” she said a second time. I turned off my phone and waited for Mom to walk towards me. From a distance, I saw Mom and Jensen’s faces change. They must be confused and wondering. Even though I was ready to explain, my heart was still beating quite fast. “Piper, what’s going on? Who is she? Why her?” Mom asked as she looked at Jessie with a probing gaze. “Mom, Jensen, and Jessie, I’ll explain things to you guys after the competition is over. Now let’s go inside and when it’s all over, I’ll take you somewhere and you’ll hear all the answers. Now let’s go inside,” I said as I invited them inside. We heard the voice of the host asking the participants and the audi
Jensen’s POV“What’s your mom’s name?” I asked curiously. Jessie seemed innocent to me. A person who has an innocent character tells the truth. That’s what I knew.“Megan. But, since we met, I’ve been thinking that maybe Megan isn’t my biological mom. I’m so confused. What do you think I should do?” she asked. She looked like a confused person. Women are easily confused.“Just answer all my questions first, then I’ll tell you the way out. You don’t need to be confused. I also want to know the truth,” I replied, trying to calm her down.“Oh well. Please ask what you want to know,” she said. She was cute and obedient. I liked her.“Megan is my mom’s cousin. So, does she treat you well? Think well,” I asked.She paused and seemed to think hard. Then she shook her head. I let out a quick breath. “I guessed it. Does she behave well when you’re around your dad?”She nodded twice.“I guessed it. So, are your dad and Megan married?” I asked.“Shouldn’t you call her Aunt Megan?” she asked, bit
Jensen’s POV“Come on, hurry!” Jessie said. I had to admit she walked pretty fast despite her short legs and shorter body than me.“Calm down. Why are you in such a hurry?” I asked, as I furrowed my eyebrows.“If it takes too long to come out, I’m afraid Dad will look for me.”“By the way, did you tell Ken to keep this a secret from your dad or anyone else?” I asked as I walked beside her.“I did. Before picking you up, I explained everything to him. Take it easy,” she replied.“What is the name of your dad’s friend who you said is a famous doctor?” I asked.“Doctor Austin. He’s very handsome. I’ll tell you a secret. I like him and I hope when I grow up, I can find a boyfriend like him,” she said with a blush on her face and a smile on her lips.I flicked her forehead. “What you should pay attention to is studying and being the brightest student in your class. You’re thinking about adult things that you shouldn’t be thinking about. Study well or else it’s a waste of my mom teaching you
