"Jessie, what are Layla's interests and hobbies? What kind of gifts does she like?" Thaddeus asked eagerly.Jessamine didn't want to hide anything from him. He wanted to be a good father, and she was happy about that. At least the children wouldn't have the same fatherless experience she did. She deeply understood the importance of family to a person."Layla likes everything related to Princess Elsa, strawberry-flavored foods, drawing, and playing the piano," Jessamine said. After she was done speaking, she then recalled Lucas. "Lucas likes electronic products, robots, programming, and he also enjoys playing soccer."Thaddeus quietly noted everything down, getting a sense of what he needed to prepare next.Jessamine asked, "Can you open the car door now? Lucas is waiting at home."Thaddeus cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "Can I come in?""No." Jessamine thought of Xander at home, knowing that if they saw each other, they would surely argue again. Until his image impro

Thaddeus felt guilty toward Jessamine. When she was at death's door, he wasn't by her side. He couldn't be there when she gave birth to their two children either. He knew he was worthless, but in Xander's eyes, he wasn't just worthless. He was also a cancerous existence in Jessamine's life. If it weren't for this bastard, Jessamine wouldn't have suffered so much. Xander coldly stated, "When she gave birth to the two kids, the fetal position was abnormal, and the doctor recommended a c-section. "In addition to the previous injuries, another cut was made on her abdomen. When she first stood up after giving birth, Jessamine was shaking all over but forced herself to move as the doctor advised. "She was severely anemic after giving birth. When coupled with the serious injuries from the car accident, she didn't fully recover for several years. Her physical condition weakened a lot. She often experienced low blood sugar and sometimes fainted without symptoms." Xander let out all the

As she expected, the company was currently in a mess. Since Colin took over, the various departments of the company had been just getting by. There were internal conflicts among the management, middle-level employees were busy taking sides, and the lowest-level employees were slacking off and just collecting their salaries. Once these habits formed, they were hard to change. In terms of changing this working environment, it was enough to keep Oscar busy for a while.Jessamine spent two hours in Oscar's office looking at the reports. It was an unfamiliar industry with an unfamiliar business, and it gave her a headache. But for Oscar, it seemed as simple as eating and drinking. For the parts she couldn't understand, Oscar could spot the problems with just a glance and patiently explain them to her.Managing a small company in its early stages with dozens of people and a listed company with thousands of employees was quite a different experience. Jessamine hadn't fully figured out

Jessamine felt like laughing a bit as she watched Thaddeus take shallow breaths. They had been together for three years, and Jessamine knew his every expression like the back of her hand. He seemed nonchalant, but Jessamine knew he was nervous.In just a few minutes, he had already touched his nose three times. He only did that when he was feeling uneasy on the inside.She glanced at her watch again. The time was exactly 11:45 am, and the announcement on the broadcast rang out. Jessamine looked up and said, "Layla should be coming out soon. Have you thought about what you're going to say to her?"She also had her own concerns, which is why she asked such a question. She hadn't told Layla in advance that her father was coming to pick her up from the airport. She didn't know if Layla would accept or reject him. Of course, Jessamine also hoped that both children could accept their father. There wasn't a mother who didn't hope for her children to live a fulfilled life. She hoped that

Jessamine hurried toward the crowd to pick Layla up, as she didn't want anyone else to be faster than her in doing so.By the time Jessamine squeezed through the crowd, Layla had already been picked up. Thaddeus was taller than the average person, and he held the child up high. Both father and daughter stood out in the crowd.This wasn't the place to talk, and Jessamine didn't have a chance to explain to Layla who the person holding her was. She took the lead and walked to a relatively quiet spot before she could observe Layla's expression.Layla was usually shy, so Jessamine was surprised to see that she didn't reject the man holding her. Instead, she seemed a little happy.She had met Thaddeus before, and they had even become internet friends. Naturally, she wasn't afraid of him. She was just a little surprised that this handsome man seemed to have come to pick her up with Jessamine today. They actually knew each other?"Layla, this is Daddy," Jessamine said. After she was done

Layla nestled in Jessamine's arms for a while before she focused on observing the airport terminal, feeling like she had stepped into the Frozen fairy tale. She remembered the last time she came with Xander; it wasn't this beautiful.Layla's eyes curved as she smiled. "Mommy, Zenville is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than Hajera. Maybe we should live in Zenville?"Children are simple-minded; when they liked something, they said it bluntly without considering it much, unlike adults.Jessamine glanced at Thaddeus' hurt expression and whispered in Layla's ear, "Layla, Daddy decorated all of this. If you like it, our home can be like this too."Layla turned her head to look at the unfamiliar father again and asked Jessamine in a low voice, "Mommy, will Daddy live with us?"She hadn't decided whether to accept him yet; after all, she hadn't tested him. He only passed in appearance. She needed to discuss this with Lucas before making a decision.Layla's voice was not loud, but

He was quite busy last night, gathering all the snacks that were strawberry-flavored. Jessamine couldn't imagine how her two kids would be spoiled in the future; they'd probably have their way all the time.Originally, Thaddeus planned to book a child-friendly restaurant but remembered that he had a son at home. He couldn't favor his daughter over his son, leaving the son at home while he took his daughter out for dinner.Three hours ago, he had called Lana from Jardin Estate and asked her to buy more fresh vegetables from the market according to Jessamine's preference and what the kids might like.Lana had specialized in studying cooking. In the past, when Jessamine was picky, Thomas paid for her to go to cooking classes. She had learned a variety of home-cooked dishes, desserts, and appetizers, and her cooking was exquisite and delicious. Thaddeus still had confidence in Lana.The car drove straight to Jessamine's house and stopped.Jessamine thought Thaddeus wouldn't have sent

Lucas was still afraid of Jessamine. When he heard Jessamine calling his full name downstairs, he couldn't help but feel nervous. But he was still feeling dissatisfied with Jessamine's actions, so he pouted and went downstairs.At this moment, Thaddeus had given up struggling under the control of the robot. He couldn't understand what kind of thing was pressing him down. It was even more effective than having a sheepdog; it could even substitute for a security guard at home.Jessamine was getting anxious. It was the first time she had formally invited him into her home, and such an incident happened. She was more worried about the future relationship between the father and son.Although Thaddeus wanted to be a father and spoil the children, he wasn't someone without principles. She feared that Lucas' rude behavior would undoubtedly invite reprimand in the future.What was important was that she didn't know what to do now or how to instruct the big lump to let go. If she accidentall

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
