When Esther withdrew her hand, Bradley inexplicably felt regret. He wasn't typically a very sensual person, but something about Esther's flirtatious display of vulnerability stirred an unusual desire in him. An absurd thought crossed his mind—he wanted to comfort Esther until she cried in his arms.

Esther leaned on the armrest of the wicker chair, searching for lingerie on her phone. A faint blush of shyness tinged her ears as she looked at the details of the pictures.

Seeing Esther suddenly become so quiet, Bradley felt somewhat uncomfortable and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Esther did not dare to let Bradley know that she was looking at lingerie for some naughty time. She blushed and whispered, "I was thinking that it's still a bit early to go to bed. How about we go to the cinema to watch a movie?"

Felix, who was watering the flowers, heard the mention of watching a movie and excitedly ran over to Esther and Bradley. "Daddy, Mommy, I want to go watch a movie!" he said sweet

    Esther was about to say something, but the movie started.Bradley raised his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Shh! The movie's starting!"The Great Sage was an animated film, but most of the people who came to watch the movie were young couples who sweetly cuddled together. The air was pink and sweet with love.Felix rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head, wondering when Clark would bring him the good news.At first, Felix was still thinking about his parents, but his attention was gradually captivated by the colorful animation.The large movie theater was quite crowded, mainly filled with couples in love.

They affectionately fed each other popcorn, shared a cup of soda, and some even kissed!Esther sat in her seat, thinking about what she had just seen, and suddenly had an idea."What's wrong?" Bradley looked at Esther, who suddenly stood up, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?""I'll be back in a mome

    The socialite was confused as she looked at Bradley, who was filled with anger. She couldn't understand what was happening. How could Bradley be preparing for a wedding with Liliane and still be entangled with Esther?Bradley said, "I don't want anyone else to know what happened today. If you dare say a word..."Felix stood up for Esther with a stern face. "Your family will go bankrupt by the next sunrise!"Esther could not help but laugh at Felix's domineering demeanor. She held his small hand, moved as she said, "My son is the best. He knows how to defend his Mommy!"Felix's adorable little face blushed even more when Esther praised him. "Mommy, Daddy and I are your bodyguards!"Bradley glanced at Esther and Felix, who seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, and slowly withdrew his hand from the socialite's chin. With a fierce expression, he uttered, "Get lost!"The socialite had never witnessed this side of Bradley before. In her memory, he had always been an elegant

    Esther, Bradley, and Felix returned to the cinema, resuming their movie-watching experience. The flickering light from the screen cast an ethereal glow on Esther's face, creating a dreamlike aura around her. As Felix and Esther shared popcorn, their act of feeding each other filled the scene with warmth.At that moment, Esther turned her head and caught Bradley's gaze fixed on the popcorn in her hand. A sudden idea sparked in her mind, and she decided to offer him a taste. She delicately picked up a piece of popcorn and fed it to Bradley.Instinctively, Bradley bit into the popcorn, savoring the combination of the chocolate coating and the lingering warmth left by Esther's touch on his lips.Esther leaned close to Bradley's ear and asked softly, "Darling, is it good?"Bradley responded with a hum uncomfortably.Esther lowered her voice and whispered, "Thank you for standing up for me just now, darling."At first, when Bradley heard Esther calling him "darling", he thought she mig

    After the movie ended, the family of three walked out of the cinema.Esther, still sulking, paid no attention to Bradley. She held Felix's hand and walked slowly ahead. Noticing that Bradley wasn't following them, Felix ran back and grabbed his hand."Daddy, Mommy, I want to swing too!" Felix exclaimed.The movie they had just watched, "The Great Sage," was an animated film that attracted mostly couples and families with children. Felix had noticed a couple in front of them, holding their daughter's hands and playfully swinging her as they walked. With wide-open eyes and a cute expression, Felix indicated that he wanted to do the same."Let's fulfill Felix's wish!" Esther declared.Esther showered Felix with immense affection, causing Bradley to raise an eyebrow and coldly remark, "It's not appropriate in public.""Bradley!" Esther's face turned stern, "Our Felix is well-behaved and adorable. Childhood is fleeting, and I don't want our son to envy other children. If other childre

    After the preparations were complete, Melinda left Felix's room.Bradley lifted Felix into the bathtub, and asked, "Felix, who used to bathe you before?"With an innocent expression, Felix replied, "Grandpaw Clark!""Didn't your Mommy ever bathe you?" asked Bradley.Understanding that Bradley was referring to Liliane as "Mommy" instead of Esther, Felix sat in the foamy bathwater and looked at Bradley seriously. He corrected him. "Daddy, my Mommy is not Liliane. It's Esther!"Bradley chuckled, wondering if Felix had grown fond of being Esther's son. "So, Liliane never bathed you?"Felix shook his head and said, "Nope. She said I'm a boy, and she's a girl, so she can't bathe me."Furrowing his brows slightly, Bradley couldn't help but compare Esther to Liliane at that moment. It seemed to him that Esther was more like a mother figure in that instant. It was no wonder Felix called her his Mommy."If time allows, I'll bathe you from now on," said Bradley.With a small rubber duck

    The fabric used for the product was scarce, possibly an attempt by the seller to maximize profit. It barely covered certain parts, causing Esther to blush as she examined her reflection in the full-length mirror.After selecting a beautifully designed cotton pajama dress for herself, Esther tidied her hair and made her way to Felix's room. Inside, Bradley was blow-drying Felix's damp hair.Upon hearing Esther's voice, Felix eagerly went out of the bathroom and embraced her."Mommy, can I sleep between you and Daddy tonight? Please?" Felix pleaded, his hair still damp.Bradley coldly rejected the request, saying, "No.""But Mommy, I've never slept with both of you before," Felix complained pitifully. "I used to sleep alone, and I was so scared!"Esther had no reservations when it came to Felix. Seeing his pitiful expression, she turned to Bradley and implored, "Darling, let him sleep with us tonight! Please!""Daddy, please!" Felix chimed in, adding to the pleas.Confronted with

    "Then come to bed early," said Esther.Esther had put effort into dressing up, hoping to spend time with Bradley. However, he had to attend to work, leaving her feeling a bit disappointed. Despite her feelings, she chose not to express them.Meanwhile, Bradley made his way to the study and opened one of the suitcases. His attention was drawn to Esther's diary titled "Secret Crush Diary." Normally, he would respect her privacy and refrain from reading it. But this time, he inexplicably decided to open it.On the first page, Esther had written a warning in her elegant handwriting: "This is Esther's Secret Crush Diary, no peeking."Following the warning, she had sketched a simple yet fierce and cute little girl.Bradley smiled faintly. Just as he was about to delve into the contents, Esther entered the room carrying a tray.Hastily, he concealed the diary behind him and, with forced composure, asked, "What's this?""I prepared some food for you in case you have to work late into th

    Bradley struggled to keep the nosebleed at bay. His reflection in the mirror showed the distressing sight of blood trickling from his nose.Esther noticed his condition and rushed to his side, abandoning her task of changing clothes. She anxiously tried to wipe away the blood, unintentionally captivating Bradley with her allure, causing his nosebleed to worsen.Brushing Esther aside, Bradley hurriedly made his way to the bathroom. Seeking relief, he splashed cold water on his face, attempting to regain composure. As he gazed at his reflection, he saw a restless soul, a lone wolf filled with dissatisfaction and inner turmoil.Taking a seat on the toilet, he reached for his phone and messaged a friend overseas.Bradley: [When will you be returning to the country?]Kevin: [?]Bradley: [I need to undergo a comprehensive medical examination.]Kevin: [Why?]Bradley: [Lately, my heart has been beating fast, and I've had two nosebleeds.

    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
