Jacqueline exclaimed, "Daddy, Daddy, look at me!" With that, she imitated Serenity and began jumping. While watching his daughter's adorable jumps, Jackson noticed Fred, who was standing nearby, out of the corner of his eye.The Stanton family in Lanford was investigating Jenny Hall. Could it have something to do with Fred?How did Jenny Hall get involved with the Stanton family? If Jenny Hall truly had ties to the Stanton family, she wouldn't have ended her own life in prison. Knowing her, she would have sought the help of the Stanton family to make a comeback. Perhaps she herself was unaware of her relationship with them?Contemplating this possibility, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in Jackson's eyes.Meanwhile, Jacqueline, who had just started learning how to jump rope, accidentally stumbled and fell. Serenity quickly helped the little girl up. Noticing Jacqueline's torn pants and potential scrape on her knee, Serenity carefully rolled up her daughter's pants.Fred and M
"He's a nice kid," Serenity said. "He's smart, and he's a good boy too." A boy of his age could be very naughty, but Fred was painfully quiet."The boy is getting along with Jackie, but he's Jenny's kid, after all," Jackson reminded. Serenity flinched. She did not want to involve the boy in this. "Our grudge against Jenny has nothing to do with the boy." And that was why she had been trying to minimize it these days."You may think it has nothing to do with him, but he may think otherwise. He might think you had something to do with his mother's death," Jackson said. He wanted to protect Serenity and the children, and he would do it right. Serenity pondered before saying, "At least I know what I'm doing. I'll treat Fred right, but if he does have a grudge against me and the Valor family, I'll do something about it!""We can wait for about two years. Once Jackie's no longer interested in him, find a reason to send him away," Jackson suggested."Jackie considers Fred a friend. Th
Lisa thought she might be able to have the cake with Terry after the party and ordered a cute cake. The cashier registered the information and handed her a ticket to pick up the cake later.Lisa put away the receipt and left the store. While walking out of the store, a strange man blocked her way, stopping her from leaving."Lisa Quest? Madam Quirk wants to meet you." The man sounded respectful but looked at Lisa with a hint of disdain in his eyes."Who is she?" Lisa asked."Mr. White's mother," the man replied.Terry's mom? Lisa stared blankly, stunned to know who wanted to see her. She had never met his mother while dating Terry before. Terry had once promised to take her to meet his mom after securing his position in the White family, but she had no idea it would take five years before she finally had the chance to meet Terry's mother."How do I know if you're telling the truth?" Lisa kept her guard up. She did not want to repeat her mistake and get kidnapped again.The man p
Lisa's heart sank, and her lips pursed tightly. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I won't abort this child.""What? You're not going to abort the baby? Are you going to say you're not doing it for money? That you love Terry?" Glynnis cut to the chase."I've met a lot of women like you. You think you'll be able to marry into money by having a rich man's child. However, there's no shortage of children in wealthy families. Even if you give birth to your child, you won't get into the White family. Besides, no one knows if you're pregnant with Terry's child."Lisa suddenly broke into a smile. "A woman like me? Or are you talking about yourself?" she asked with a cheeky grin. Perhaps she should have been smarter and shown some weakness to Glynnis. Maybe she should have avoided causing this moment of discomfort, but no way would she comply with this crap. Lisa loved Terry, but that did not mean anyone could slander her like that. Glynnis might be Terry's mom, but saying her child was not
Lisa never thought Glynnis would try to harm her. She warned, "You'll be sentenced for this!""It'll be an accident and unintentional injury at most. Don't worry. My men are mentally prepared for this," Glynnis said calmly, a look of indifference in her eyes. Glynnis did not care about the life that would be lost even if this little life was related to her by blood.Glynnis remained seated on the couch as she sipped her tea and waited for the show to happen.Lisa tried to escape the room, but one of the men grabbed her, and the other swung his fist, ready to punch her in the belly."No!" She cried out frantically, desperate to protect the child in her belly. Despair colored her eyes as she saw the fist coming for her. Was this how her child would leave her? Her baby had survived several dangers and two signs of threatened miscarriage. Was this how she would lose her baby?!No! She would never allow this! It was her and Terry's baby!Lisa had no idea where she got the strength.
Glynnis slammed the teacup on the floor, angry at her son's attitude. Why was her son so concerned about Lisa? He sounded like he would let the baby be born. Wait, did Terry have plans to marry Lisa?! No way! Glynnis would never let a woman like Lisa marry into the White family! Something flickered across her eyes as she made up her mind. Her future daughter-in-law should be a lady from a prestigious family, not a commoner like Lisa. Letting someone like Lisa marry into the family would be her worst embarrassment! Meanwhile, outside the private club, Terry carried Lisa into the car and told the driver to drive to the hospital."What on earth did they do to you? Does it hurt?" Terry asked anxiously, only to find Lisa staring at him blankly."What are you looking at?""You came to save me! Y-You knew your mom wanted to see me…" Lisa stammered, her cheeks still red and swollen, so the pain stung more as she spoke. "Were you afraid your mom would hurt me? Is that why you came rushin
Terry glanced at Lisa and pursed his lips just slightly. Then, he drove Lisa directly to the White Residence. Lisa was a little worried that he had taken her to his home, and a look of hesitation and concern flashed across her face."Don't worry. My mom doesn't live here. She rarely comes here," Terry reassured. "Besides, I warned her to leave you alone. She won't hurt you, at least for now." "For now?" Lisa bit her lips. Would Terry's mother hurt her again? She was fine with confronting Glynnis, but she was afraid that the baby might get hurt again."Don't worry about the child. As long as you don’t get an abortion, the child will be born safely!" Terry promised.Startled, Lisa stared at Terry, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Are you willing to accept this child? Then—"Terry interrupted her. "The baby is mine. I'm bound to accept this child. But that doesn't mean I'm going to accept you." His words dimmed the light in her eyes, dousing her with cold water. Still, she
The baby… Was it Mr. White's?! The butler shuddered at this thought, only to realize this would be big news in Jorvik.Lisa then called her parents, omitting the fact that she had gotten beaten. She told them she was spending the night at Terry's, but in a separate room, of course. She also told her parents someone was coming to get her pregnancy pillow and requested them to give it to them.Austin and Hersha kept asking Lisa questions, but they still had no idea why their daughter was spending the night at Terry's house. But Lisa sounded relaxed, so maybe it was a good thing.When Terry's men came to pick up the pregnancy pillow, Hersha even told them to take the pastries she had made to Lisa.Terry looked at the stuff his men brought back, only to realize this was not just a pillow. It was a U-shape pillow, providing full-body support to the user. Lisa could sleep on any side with the pillow."You're going to sleep with a pillow like this?" Terry asked. "Yeah. My body will cha
