"You're not Rain Damian," muttered Josephine.Nicholas chuckled. "You're not Flower either."Josephine feeling betrayed. She thought, the triplets conspired with Nicholas to lie to her, saying they want to have dinner with Josephine, but they trapped her to meet Nicholas."Why did you do that, Nicholas? You don't have to have the kids lie to me, saying they want to have dinner with me, just to ask me to meet," said Josephine.Nicholas's eyebrows rose and he stepped closer to Josephine. "Josephine, what do you think of me having changed so badly in just a few days after you found out I was a mobster? " asked Nicholas coldly."You think this is my plan? Having the kids lie to you just to bring you here and meet you? Why do I have to do that when I can kidnap you directly to bring you to the mansion? I'm a mobster, you know, right? I can do anything and stay safe! There's no need to take advantage of the children."Josephine was stunned to hear Nicholas' words. "I mean, why did you--""F
"Baby, Rocco will be arriving tomorrow evening. He will start work at Farline on Monday. You can take your breath away for a moment, don't push yourself too hard," Nicholas said while stroking Josephine's hair.Josephine looked up and her tired eyes shone. "Oh, thank goodness. I'm starting to get overwhelmed here.There are too many things that are messy and need to be cleaned up," Josephine said, pointing to the papers scattered on her desk.Nicholas sat in the chair in front of Josephine's desk and wondered if he had made the right decision to transfer Farline Tech to Josephine.He was worried, instead putting great pressure on Josephine. However, Rocco had promised to help Josephine completely.He remembered their chat via Skype, a few days earlier.-Flashback-"My nephew will be running the cafe," Rocco said in a relieved tone. "So I can leave in peace.""That's great then. Just tell Ben or Win what you need either there or for you here. They'll have it ready right away," Nicholas
"I saw Anna Reding, the fat carpenter, walking hand in hand with the handsome doctor you're after," said Ellie, Janeth's classmate. "They look very intimate.""Anna Reding, daughter of the Reding family of the Reding Artwork Group?" asked Janeth to make sure.Ellie nodded firmly. "Yes, there she is. I saw her article when she had an exhibition in London two years ago and the Queen of England bought a dresser made of her."Janeth clenched her fists in annoyance. So the news is true. Ellie wasn't the only one who said she saw Anna Reding and Lynner Hardy together, looking as passionate as lovers. Other friends also delivered the same news several times, such as pouring gasoline on the fire.Since the embarrassing incident at Lynn's birthday party, Janeth hasn't dared to stand out too much. That incident embarrassed her half to death and really made her lose her self-esteem.Her friends tried to cheer her up, but Janeth somehow felt they weren't being sincere. Her enemies were obvious
"Grenryn City Zoo?" asked Josephine with a frown. "Why so far away? Metronine also has a zoo.""Oh, come on, mom, the Greneryn City Zoo is not just an ordinary zoo, where we only see animals in cages. In this zoo, safari tours are also held, looking at wild animals outside the car we are riding in," said Sky enthusiastically."Is it safe?" asked Josephine worriedly."Of course it's safe. We'll take the designated safari car," supported Flower.Josephine stared at the triplets who looked happy. "Ah, well, I'll allow it. Now let me talk to your homeroom teachers, Sky and Flower, about the technicalities. I also want Rain to come on this field trip.""Rain and mommy can come along," said Flower happily. "The school is holding this field trip as part of a family day, so the participants are children and parents, a minimum of four people and a maximum of six people. We can even invite uncle Nicholas.""Oh dear, Uncle Nicholas has been very busy lately, he probably won't make it."The tripl
"Why are you doing something like this, Lindsay? Do you want to kill me and those kids?" asked Josephine angrily.Lindsay knew what Josephine meant, but she didn't want to look guilty. "What do you mean, Josephine? I came to see you and your children, why are you even angry at me? You are so ungrateful to someone who cares for you!"Josephine smiled sinisterly. "Just take off your ugly mask, Lindsay. You don't have to pretend to be nice. Given your true nature, I'm sure you must be tired of having to act like kind one all the time."Lindsay's face was bright red and she restrained herself from attacking Josephine. She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, but her lips still smiled sweetly."Josephine, come on, don't be mean to me. We are sisters after all and besides, you shouldn't accuse someone so casually."Josephine turned to Lucas with raised eyebrows. "And you, what are you here for?"Lucas was surprised by Josephine's curtness. After learning that the diary that L
Josephine smiled looking at the contents of the paper in her hand. She looked at Lindsay quietly. "How can this be proof that my children are Lucas' children? You can't even see any names on this paper."Lindsay realized her folly. She took the paper from Josephine's hand and read it again. "But these are clearly the results of your children's DNA tests," Lindsay said. Her voice turned into a doubtful one. "I always suspected that they were your children.""Yes, you're right about that. These are the results of my children's DNA tests. They are non identical triplets. But as for who the father is, did you see a man's name on it?" Josephine demanded. "Careful Lindsay, you could get caught up in a game of your own making!"Lindsay's hesitation turned into anger and a feeling of being played with. "Why did you hide that they are your children?"Josephine looked at Lindsay with a feigned surprise. "You're really asking why? Oh, come on, Lindsay, you think I'm going to give you guys a chan
"Not only yours, but ours," Josephine said softly.Nicholas looked at Josephine in astonishment. "God, baby, you almost gave me a heart attack!"Josephine widened her eyes. "Why? What do you want me to answer?""I thought they really weren't my kids and I was prepared to be disappointed."Nicholas grabbed Josephine's waist and brought her close to his body. "That was seven years ago, right? Our first time at the villa?" whispered Nicholas against Josephine's neck."Yes. Can you tell me why you were at the villa that night?" Nicholas asked.Nicholas sighed. "That day, me and some bodyguards went to the area to look at some of the villa units being sold. One of my men turned out to be a spy for the Black Opium clan. He told Stefano and misled my men so they scattered. They targeted me and I have to find a place to hide," Nicholas said, remembering the events of seven years ago."You were being chased by them?" asked Josephine with a face full of worry. "Yeah. I was about to give up, b
In the morning, Josephine and the triplets underwent thorough medical tests to check their condition. The doctor said if the results were good, they were all allowed to go home.Nicholas took care of all the paperwork with the hospital and while the triplets were undergoing examinations, he didn't take his eyes off them. His heart was pounding hard since last night.Spending a warm night with Josephine in the hospital room, Nicholas realized that his life was complete with the fact that he had three children with the woman he loved.Sky was the first to finish checking. He was surprised when he saw Nicholas waiting in front of the examination room."Uncle Nicholas? When are you coming?" asked Sky as he reached out his hand to shake Nicholas.The man smiled broadly and pulled Sky into his arms. "Let's wait for your other siblings as well as your mother and then we'll go to a nice restaurant so we can talk. There's something I need to tell you," Nicholas said.Not long after that, Rain,
