Despite Bradley's grip on Felix, the young boy managed to free himself and rushed into Esther's arms. Without any shyness, he kissed her cheek tenderly, his small hands gently cradling her face while tears welled up in his eyes. In a choked voice, he uttered, "Mommy, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"That's not true." Esther reached out and tightly embraced Felix, their foreheads touching and their noses brushing against each other. "Even if Mommy doesn't want the whole world, Mommy will always want you."

"Mommy…" Felix called out in a soft voice.

Bradley turned around and entered the study. He threw a white shirt from the wardrobe to Esther before forcefully lifting Felix from Esther's embrace.

"Daddy..." Felix exclaimed as his body was lifted into the air.

"Change your clothes," said Bradley.

Only then did Esther realize that her current state was not suitable for such closeness with Felix. She watched Bradley carry Felix away in his arms and felt a slight warmth in her h

    "Sure!" Felix held Esther's hand and led her out of the hospital confidently.Esther's outfit looked great, but... under normal circumstances, how could a woman be wearing a man's shirt? Upon seeing Esther and Bradley, most women could not help but exchange knowing smiles. There were also a few men who smirked teasingly when they saw Esther.Bradley's icy gaze swept past them with a hint of warning, causing the men to instantly lower their heads as if they had not seen anything. Seeing some men ogling Esther with those indecent looks along the way, Bradley could not help but take off his coat and forcefully drape it over Esther's shoulders."Put it on!"Esther was bewildered. Before she could refuse, Felix took the initiative to complain, "Daddy, it's so ugly!""Put it on!" Bradley's tone was cold and firm.Esther had no choice but to wear Bradley's suit and go to the nearby shopping mall.Actually, more people looked at Esther like this.As the family of three arrived at the m

    Nestled in Esther's arms, Felix's little face contorted with anger as he glared at the sales assistant. His expression resembled that of a small tyrannosaurus rex as if he were ready to breathe fire at any moment."Manners?" The sales assistant sneered as she looked at the suit on Esther, "A woman like you who just crawled out of another man's bed has the audacity to talk about manners?"Esther's expression turned cold and indifferent. She glanced at the condescending sales assistant and said indifferently, "Is this the professionalism of your brand's sales assistant?"The sales assistant crossed her arms and pushed Esther and Felix, coldly saying, "Get lost. I don't want your business.""The one who should leave is you!" Felix popped his head out of Esther's arms, looking cute and fierce. "This mall belongs to our family."Esther remained silent.Felix poked his head out and called out to Bradley, "Daddy, someone's bullying me and Mommy!" Hearing Felix's call, Bradley walked g

    Felix was acting bossy and fierce toward the sales assistant, but his attitude turned adorable and cute when it came to Esther. His transition between these two styles was incredibly natural."Mommy, let's go shop next door," suggested Felix.Felix, Esther, and Bradley, the family of three, went to the luxury brand store next door.These two brands were competitors, so the incident that happened at the entrance naturally caught the attention of this current brand's sales assistants. As soon as Bradley arrived with Esther and Felix, the sales assistants approached them warmly."Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Warner. Please have a seat," greeted one of the sales assistants who was adept at handling customers.They immediately started serving Esther and the others, even temporarily closing off the entrance to prevent other customers from disturbing their shopping experience."Mrs. Warner, this is our brand's latest haute couture collection catalog. Please have a look."Mr. Warner, this is our

    In the small and cramped fitting room, the atmosphere grew heavy and stagnant as Esther revealed her wounded back. The lights illuminated her figure, accentuating her thinness, which only added to the heart-wrenching sight.Bradley looked at the wounds on Esther's back, and his breathing became heavy and intense. He reached out and grabbed the collar of her shirt.Esther took the opportunity to reach out and hug his waist, resting her head against his chest."The woman in the video isn't me," Esther said in a low and hoarse voice. "She really isn't me."Bradley stiffened and spoke calmly with a hoarse voice. "I know it's not you.""Then..." Esther lifted her tear-filled eyes and asked softly, her voice distant like fluttering snow, "Let's not fight or get a divorce, okay?"Bradley lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the hair swirl on top of Esther's head. Esther's breath was light and shallow against his chest."Okay."Esther was exhilarated upon hearing that. "Reall

    "Daddy, do you think Mommy looks pretty?" asked Felix.Bradley replied coldly, "She's okay."Felix widened his eyes and huffed. "No, Mommy, try something else. Daddy said it doesn't look good!"For one whole hour, Esther kept trying on the clothes Felix chose. From dresses to formal gowns to everyday styles, each different outfit gave Esther a different look.Looking at Esther, who constantly changed clothes, Bradley could not help but tell the manager beside him, "Send all the clothes she just tried to Primus Mansion.""Yes, sir," replied the manager.The sales assistants could not contain their excitement. They had just hit the jackpot with such a big customer, and their bonuses for this month would definitely be substantial.After trying on clothes for an hour, Esther was exhausted. She looked at Bradley and softly called out, "Darling, do I really not look good in all of them?"The word "darling" was like a kitty clawing gently at Bradley's heart.It felt ticklish and ting

    Liliane embraced Leah tightly, screaming in anguish, "Mom, everyone's saying that Bradley took Mrs. Warner shopping! But he's supposed to marry me, yet he's taking that despicable Esther shopping! What will people think of me? They must see me as a joke all these years!"Leah was afraid that Liliane would be too agitated and have heart problems, so she quickly comforted her like she was coaxing a child. "Liliane, sweetheart, don't be upset. We're supposed to have lunch with Bradley today, right? I'll ask him then. Maybe it's just an accident!"Liliane's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a chilling, killing intent."Mom, I hate her! I hate her so much!"Leah was distressed looking at her daughter like this. She gently held Liliane in her arms and said, "Liliane, don't let anything external affect you now. You just need to be yourself. Trust me, trust Mom. I'll handle everything and won't let you suffer even a bit."She would protect Liliane, the daughter she had carried to full term

    They arrived at Primus Mansion.Although Thomas had originally prepared Primus Mansion as Bradley and Esther's wedding gift, this was the first time Bradley had come here. Naturally, it was Felix's first time as well.When Felix saw the wedding photo in the entryway, his eyes widened in amazement. "Wow! Daddy and Mommy are so well-matched!" he exclaimed."Your father didn't cooperate at all during the photoshoot. Just look at how he's not smiling!"Esther held Felix's hand.Felix tilted his head for a glance, thinking of himself as the brave wingman, and said, "Mommy, Daddy's smiling. Just look at his eyes..."Esther ruffled Felix's hair. She could not tell him how impatient Bradley had been during the wedding photoshoot. She had carefully selected all the wedding photos hanging in this house from thousands of photos."Darling, play with Felix for the time being. I'll go to the kitchen—"Esther was about to enter the kitchen when Bradley grabbed her delicate wrist. "No need to

    The current Bradley had no idea that Felix had already told him the truth so early on and that he missed the chance to confront it.Peeling garlic required technique, but fortunately, Felix was gifted and could remember anything after seeing it once. He earnestly battled with the garlic Esther had entrusted to him, peeling it until it was clean and beautiful."Mommy, I've peeled the garlic!" Felix held the peeled garlic and waited for Esther's praise.Esther looked at the well-peeled garlic and leaned down to plant a kiss on Felix's little face. "You're amazing!"Felix was elated by Esther's praise and instantly asked, "Mommy, is there anything else I can do?""Of course!" Esther handed Felix a bunch of scallions.Felix patted his chest and assured her. "Mommy, leave it to me!"Felix went to seek assistance with the scallions while Esther continued to work methodically in the kitchen. She peeled and diced the tomatoes, beat the eggs, cooked them in a pan until fluffy, added the

    Bradley's brazen words made Gabriel raise an eyebrow, and his scrutinizing gaze on Bradley intensified.Unfazed by Gabriel, Bradley calmly stated, "Mr. Sinclair, when I visited Shane recently, he handed me some video footage. It showed Esther being assaulted and abused in prison, with the perpetrators claiming it was my order. I've always dared to own up to my actions. What I've done, I won't shirk from. What I haven't done, I won't admit."Gabriel had seen the videos online. Even though Bradley had obscured the protagonist's face in the footage, he knew it was Esther. He had believed entrusting Esther to Thomas would ensure her safety, only to discover how fate twisted things."Bradley, I'll assume your words are true," Gabriel began. "Then tell me, if those people who assaulted Esther in prison weren't influenced by someone else, who put her in prison? Have you forgotten how you, in your irrational madness, expected a woman carrying your children to pay the price? Or do you believ

    When Bradley brought up his grandfather again, he felt utterly unfilial as a grandson."Your grandfather's greatest wish before he passed was for you and Esther to live peacefully and happily. Sadly, all he witnessed was discord and enmity between you as a couple."Gabriel understood better than anyone that Bradley, in his youthful arrogance, felt that everything and everyone should conform to his desires. When Thomas compelled Bradley to marry Esther, almost like an arranged marriage, his rebellious nature surfaced."I've failed my grandfather's hopes," Bradley admitted with a bitter taste in his mouth.During quiet, solitary nights, he revisited memories of the past repeatedly.He hadn't desired that marriage back then. However, since he had promised his grandfather to marry Esther, he should have genuinely treated her as a wife.Despite the subsequent events not aligning with his wishes, he was painfully aware that if he hadn't been arrogant and unwilling to listen to Esther's

    Esther wasn't pleasant toward Bradley. If she had evidence, she would gladly send him to prison to experience the joy of life behind bars.Bradley gazed blankly at Esther's stunning face, a hint of indescribable sorrow in his eyes. Those deep eyes resembled a chilly cold spring."Not only do you want to chop off my hand, but you also want my life, right?"Esther gestured a slice across her neck at Bradley with her hand, then turned away to tell Logan, "Let's go. Don't waste time on this.""Okay."With languid steps, Esther walked into the elevator. Once they were inside, the elevator doors shut.Outside the elevator, Bradley watched Esther and Logan like they were two puzzle pieces that matched perfectly. Instantly, he felt an unbearable heartache, as if his heart was being torn apart.He instinctively reached out to steady himself against the wall, observing the numbers on the elevator panel decrease until it stopped at the ground floor.It took a while before Bradley recovere

    Throughout the entire night, neither Esther nor Logan had shut their eyes.Feeling their eyes strain, they applied eye drops. It wasn't until Esther noticed someone who shouldn't have been there on the surveillance footage."Logan, take a look at this."Perplexed, Logan asked, "What's going on?""Do you think this person looks like Shirley?"Esther was particularly sharp in discerning a woman's physique. She could immediately tell that the woman being supported by a man due to her intoxication bore a striking resemblance to Shirley."Let me see."Logan zoomed in on the surveillance footage, carefully comparing it with the footage containing Shirley. Physically, the two women indeed looked very similar.There was just one question... How would they confirm if she was Shirley?"Esther, stay here and keep watching the surveillance. I'll retrieve other surveillance footage.""Okay."Logan and Esther divided their tasks. Suspecting that the intoxicated woman might be Shirley, Est

    Logan and Esther exchanged a glance. They fixed their intense gazes on Jason's face, unable to discern if he was smirking or provoking them."Mr. Taft, the evidence you seek will come."Jason scoffed. He seemed to transform into a different person as he put his glasses back on."Even if Shirley deceived me, I never wished harm upon her, let alone her death."I can consider your suspicions toward me as part of the investigation, but I hope that once everything is revealed, you can restore my innocence."I've said my piece. As long as Shirley hasn't divorced me, she remains my wife. I am obliged to cooperate in the investigation, and I hope you find her soon."Logan and Esther sensed something amiss with the first confrontation. They didn't say anything untoward until they exited the elevator and looked up at Jason's balcony outside.Jason stood on the balcony, looking at Logan and Esther and waving toward them.Logan and Esther looked at Jason before they turned and got into the

    "She blocked me on all forms of contact at that time. I even tried contacting her through my colleagues' phones but found out she had blocked them, too. I thought she might be angry, so we should both calm down."Logan didn't speak and just listened quietly as Jason recounted the events of the case."I was angry that she blocked me. At my age, what's wrong with wanting a child? My parents were pushing for it, and I wondered if this marriage was what I wanted."Shirley is very beautiful. My friends and classmates say I'm lucky to have married her, but they don't know that beauty comes at a price."While my colleagues were buying properties, my wife kept changing bags. Her clothes, skincare products, shoes—everything was designer. To support her lifestyle, I work diligently, even taking extra freelance jobs to afford it."I thought I was a good husband and just wanted a child. What did I do wrong? If she had said that she didn't want a child after marriage in the first place, it wou

    Gabriel took a long look at Esther, realizing more than anyone that Esther seemed to be heading toward a different extreme now. He wasn't certain if this shift in Esther's demeanor was good or bad.However, one thing was clear to him—the intersection of Esther and Bradley's lives resembled two lines crossing. After intersecting, they would drift further apart."Esther, you can investigate Bradley's criminal evidence. I won't object to that," Gabriel said with a stern face, emphasizing, "But ensure you complete your tasks on time and with quality.""Grandpa Gabriel, rest assured, I won't neglect my work."Gabriel nodded. "Go on then.""Alright." Esther stepped out of the office and approached Logan. "We can set off now.""Okay."Logan didn't inquire about Esther's conversation with Gabriel. Although they pretended to be engaged, Logan maintained a respectful distance from Esther. He wouldn't interfere much in her matters. However, he was aware that if she needed his help, he woul

    Gabriel stated, "According to her husband, they argued before she went missing. He assumed she had returned to her parents' home and didn't inquire further since they often had cold spells for ten days to half a month. Their relatives and friends can testify to this."However, the cold spell extended to a month this time, which alarmed him. When he called her parents, they told him his wife never went home."Esther knew that the husband was often the first suspect when the wife went missing in cases like this."The wife bought a high-speed train ticket to her parents' home but didn't take the train back. The police traced her taking a ride-hailing car, and the driver claimed to have dropped her off on the street. The dashcam recording is proof. However, after that point, there's a blind spot in the surveillance footage. Usually, surveillance is kept for a certain period and gets overwritten after that."Logan asked, "What about the investigation on the missing woman's husband?""T

    Esther rose, fixating on the distant scenery with clear eyes. "As long as he commits a crime, he'll leave traces."Logan was on the verge of speaking but was interrupted by the sudden ring of his phone."Hello, Mr. Sinclair."Gabriel's voice sounded grave. "There's a new lead.""Alright, we'll be right there."Logan stood up, turning to Esther. "We'll meet at the locker room entrance in ten minutes.""Is there a new development?""Yes."For most girls, ten minutes might not suffice even for basic grooming. For Esther, it was just right. The only issue was her long hair. Time was too short, and she lacked the opportunity to blow-dry it. Her damp hair draped over her shoulders, slightly soaking her T-shirt.Logan kept his eyes on the road. "I'll drive. You can use a towel to dry your hair.""Okay."As Logan drove, Esther sat in the car, patting her hair dry with a towel. Her hair was thick, posing a challenge to dry with just a towel.Nevertheless, Esther refrained from openi
