Jade's mansion's door opened slightly, leaving a gap uncovered. Maybe, someone just walked in and didn't close the door properly.Great doubts made Josephine freeze in front of the door, doing nothing. She thought, why she is here. She look at the door and sighed.Inside the mansion, Thomas was pacing back and forth in the living room restlessly. Melisa put a cup filled with coffee on the coffee table and sat on the sofa, frowning at her husband's behavior."Honey, what are you doing? You've been pacing there all the time, giving me a headache. What's wrong?" asked Melissa. "Could you sit down and tell me what happened?"Thomas looked at Melisa and finally sat down beside his wife, who handed him a cup filled with coffee. Thomas gulped down the fragrant black liquid with relief."Oh honey, you have no idea how lucky I feel to have you. You are a great wife, who always understands how a husband feels. I don't know how Josephine and I would have been if you hadn't been with me since the
"I-I don't understand, why are you angry?" asked Josephine nervously. She glanced at the four bodyguards standing stiffly behind Nicholas, the other eight standing around them.Josephine really didn't understand why Nicholas was always surrounded by bodyguards, as if he was an important person who shouldn't be hurt in the slightest."Your phone is dead!" the man snapped.Josephine was flabbergasted. She quickly reached into her bag and took out her phone. It doesn't turn on. "Ah, it looks like it's out of battery," Josephine said. "I didn't realize my phone was off."Nicholas snorted harshly, but his irritation started to subside. He looked at Carlos with raised eyebrows. The cousin nodded and quickly withdrew silently from there.After all, Carlos had known Nicholas since childhood and he knew Nicholas' various gestures with just one look. Nicholas' eyebrows had told him to leave and that meant he had to get out of the way immediately.Nicholas smirked watching Carlos' car drive away
Josephine took Flower's hand gently and nodded to Nicholas. "Excuse me, I need to speak with my girl for a moment."Without waiting for an answer from Nicholas, she led Flower away from the man."Honey, what are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's past your bedtime," Josephine scolded in a low voice. "And why are you here, now?""I'm waiting for you, Mommy. I'm worried and I don't feel good. I think something bad will happend to you," Flower answered gloomily.Josephine knew that Flower was very sensitive and she was also the most sensitive among her children. She must have felt something that bothered Josephine."I... it's okay, baby. I'm just going to the Jade mansion for a bit.""What for? You said, they act bad to you.""Yeah, but its doesn't matter. I didn't talk to them and just went home."Flower looked at Josephine, rubbed her cheek, then ran back to Nicholas. Seeing Flower approach Nicholas again, Josephine groaned in annoyance."Come on, let's buy the toys you want,
"Why buy this much," complained Josephine, looking at the pile of toys in the trunk of one of Nicholas' bodyguard's car. "You shouldn't have to obey Flower's wishes. She'll make it difficult for me later.""It's fine. She's a good kid and won't become spoiled and unruly just because I go along with everything she wants today," Nicholas replied calmly. He motioned to one of his bodyguards. "Take these to Ms. Jade's apartment and place them neatly by her door." "I will do it soon, sir," replied the bodyguard. Nicholas gestured for Josephine to get into his roll royce. Flower was already inside, sleeping on one of the chairs. She was exhausted after going around the shops picking out toys and it was also getting late. Nicholas himself was carrying Flower when he saw the little girl stumble several times while walking because she was sleepy. He grabbed Flower and put the little girl's head on his shoulder while patting her back gently. It wasn't long before he heard Flower's soft sno
Josephine held back the anger inside. She no longer wanted to feel anything about the Jade family, especially about Lindsay and Lucas' relationship. She had made up her mind to ignore them because she had more important things in her life to take care of, but her heart ached to hear what Lynner had to say."Why do you ask me?" asked Josephine in an even tone.Lynner saw Josephine's sudden change in demeanor and was astonished by it. "My parents talked about it a while ago," replied Lynner in a light tone, trying to break the ice that had suddenly turned tense. "I don't know anything about that, unfortunately,"Josephine replied, forcing a smile. "As you know, I also don't want to be associated with the Jade family and it's actually been a very long time since I've lived with them. I know nothing about that."Lynner nodded his head, understanding what Josephine meant. Every family has their own problems and no one outside that family has the right to interfere.Lynner felt sorry for as
"Everyone ready?" asked Josephine while watching the triplets standing in a row in front of her.Sky was wearing black jeans, a black polo shirt, a brown leather vest, a black baseball cap, brown semi-leather boots and masks.Slightly larger than his brothers, he looks handsome and dashing in his masculine appearance, like an aspiring pilot. For a moment Josephine was stunned to see the boy she had given birth to first. Why did Sky's appearance like this make her suddenly imagine someone?"Mom?" said Rain impatiently.Josephine turned and studied Rain's appearance. He wears blue jeans, a light blue polo shirt, a blue vest with white plaid, a light blue baseball cap, round glasses without glasses and white sneakers and masks.Josephine smiled, seeing Rain portraying himself as a student who studied diligently, but also still liked to hang out once in a while. Then Josephine turned her attention to Flower.The little girl was wearing short jeans, a pink spaghetti strap blouse, a black s
"Lindsay, stop thinking that you are the center of the world and everyone revolves around you," Josephine said calmly. "This place is a public tourist spot and everyone is welcome to come and visit here, no need for your permission at all." Lindsay's face turned bright red at Josephine's scathing remark. She didn't expect to meet Josephine too in a place like this. What is Josephine doing here and how did she get in here? Does she have the money to pay, because tickets to enter McKenzie manor are very expensive and how can she just enter, even though the queue to enjoy McKenzie manor is usually very long, at least prospective visitors must register from three months in advance."Why are you here? This isn't a place just anyone could walk into, you know?" Lindsay asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. "Are you flirting with some rich guy who paid you to be here?""Watch your mouth, Lindsay, don't spread any slander," Josephine snapped.Lindsay laughed sarcastically. "Why are you ang
"Woaah, I'm so tired," Rain said while breathing heavily. "I don't want to play anymore." Sky laughed and patted Rain's head. "That's why I often force you to exercise at home, even if it's just push ups or running on the spot. You can't just sit in front of a laptop or piano, little bro!" "Huh, you and I are only a few minutes apart," said Rain with a sneer. "Still, I was born first. I was the one who led and paved the way for you and Flower," Sky said, flicking Rain's forehead. "And wear your masks! Mom always asks us to wear masks wherever we go." "I feel short of breath." Sky took a water bottle from his bag and handed it to Rain. "It's nice here, but right now I'm too sweaty and want to take a shower," said Sky. "Let's take Mommy and Flower to find an ice cream shop. I think I saw one near the mini racing track around the corner," Rain said pointing to the north."Cool. Let's meet Mommy and Flower first now," said Sky, but then he held Rain's hand as her twin brother stood
