She didn't even look at him and still doubted him. What a heartless woman.Thaddeus paused and went to the car to get the robot, which he'd brought back from the company yesterday but hadn't had the chance to take out. It was still lying in the car now.The thing was quite heavy and took him a lot of effort to move. He opened a mobile app and controlled the robot to walk into the house on its own. Lucas came to greet it from afar, clapping his little hands and jumping happily.Thaddeus crouched down on one knee to look at Lucas at eye level. "Call me Daddy, and I'll teach you how to control it."Lucas pursed his lips and called out indifferently, "Daddy."Thaddeus found a bit of solace for his wounded heart in his son. He picked up his phone and patiently demonstrated it to Lucas. This robot was the third version and had basic functions like pouring water, serving dishes, opening doors, and playing music.Currently, the tech department was heavily researching the fourth version,

Upstairs in her room, Jessamine lay on the bed, zoning out.She guessed that Thaddeus wouldn't do that. She had just been in a bad mood and said some over-the-top things.Jessamine dialed Melissa's phone number. When the call connected, she said, "Mel, I need to ask you for a favor."Melissa was still at Shane's house. She sighed and asked, "Why are you being polite? Just tell me, if it's something I can do, I won't refuse.""I want to consult Joseph about something."After saying that, Jessamine added, "It's about Amy."Melissa glanced at the man who had just entered the door and said, "He just drove over to pick me up. I'll give him the phone, so you can ask him straight away.""Thanks."Jessamine calmed down and thought it was better to consult a professional about professional matters. After all, brooding alone was useless.She carefully explained the situation to Melissa's husband, and he finally responded, "This ruling is indeed reasonable."Jessamine hung up the phone

"Once you eat that, you can't eat anything else," said Thaddeus.Jessamine thought about it. Even if he had money, he shouldn't waste food like this—taking one bite of each and throwing away the rest if they couldn't finish it?"Isn't that too wasteful?" she asked.Thaddeus silently smiled deeply, picked up the half-open box she had just put down, and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. He would finish what she left, so it wouldn't be considered wasteful, and she could taste different flavors of cake without feeling burdened.Jessamine couldn't help but feel touched. Since their reunion, this was the second time he ate her leftovers, despite him being a neat freak and hating sweets.Jessamine's eyes turned a bit red-tinged again. She sniffed, her voice sounding clogged up and nasally, "Thaddeus, don't do this."Thaddeus swallowed the cake in his mouth, paused, and chuckled lightly. "What do you mean? Do what?"After a few seconds, he asked again, "Jessie, have you ever thought th

In one sitting, Jessamine ate until she was full. Thaddeus cleaned up the table and packed the empty boxes into a bag. Before leaving, he asked, "What do you want for dinner?"Jessamine smiled bitterly . "Dinner? Do we still need to eat that?"It wasn't even mealtime, and she had been fed such a huge meal. It rivaled the eating shows on social media. If she could still eat dinner, she should consider becoming an eating show host.Thaddeus raised his eyebrows. "Then let's just cook some pasta and fry up a few light dishes."They had fed the adults well enough, but the two little ones would still need to eat, so as the caretaker, he couldn't slack off.Jessamine felt much better after his little fuss. She wore her slippers, went down, and opened the balcony window. The evening breeze brought in the rich fragrance of roses.She looked out and saw a bed of white roses.She hadn't noticed upon her return because she was in such a bad mood. In the morning, this area had been filled wi

He made a deal with the kids on the mountain, and they agreed to sleep in a tent when they got home.Jessamine couldn't help but sigh. They had beds but didn't want to sleep in them. Instead, they had to sleep in a tent, and she even had to accompany them. The two children had also specifically requested for their father to join them.However, a promise made to the children couldn't be broken.Jessamine was starting to worry about what would happen at night.In contrast, Thaddeus was in high spirits. It seemed as though he was almost about to stamp his forehead with a sticky note that showed his excitement.Thaddeus entered through the door with a gentle and fatherly smile on his face. "Where should we set up the tent?" he asked.Layla pointed to a spot near the balcony and replied, "There, so we can see the stars."Thaddeus said dotingly, "Alright. We'll listen to Layla and set it up there.""Mommy likes the floor-to-ceiling windows.""Yes, Mommy likes it…"Jessamine stood o

After Jessamine cleaned up the kitchen, she went straight upstairs. Her assistant Judith had sent her a message and complained, "Jacinda, when are you coming back? We have a lot of documents here that need your personal review, and the design department's drawings require your final approval. If you don't return soon, the team's morale will drop."Jessamine knew that during these days when they had been relying on Judith to coordinate the work, the team's work morale was low. While she was away, the working pace at Kama Jewelry had indeed relaxed a lot. If it dragged on any longer, there would be soon no brand to speak of. It would simply be considered good enough if the company didn't collapse."I will come back next week. Hang in there," Jessamine texted back.Judith replied, "Jacinda, please come back soon. We are all waiting for you! Sob!"Jessamine handled some work emails and then, out of boredom, logged into her personal email. She found an overseas email written in full

"Being a bit chubbier is good. You and your mom have the same face shape, and looking a bit fuller makes you look better," Gloria replied.After some small talk, Jessamine got straight to the point and asked, "Grandma, do you know how to make perfumes?"Gloria raised her eyebrows and replied with a smile, "You've asked the right person. Grandma studied it for a while when she was young, but only at a beginner's level. Your mom was the amazing one. "I only taught her some basics, and she mastered the craft by herself. Your grandpa planned to set up a separate company for her to showcase her skills, but she…"Gloria started wiping her tears when she mentioned the sad part. If her rebellious daughter hadn't insisted on marrying that deceitful Colin, she might have achieved great success in the perfume industry by now.Jessamine felt both sad and shocked. According to Gloria's description, perfume-making seemed to be a family tradition. She herself knew that she had a very sensitive

An hour later, Jessamine took Layla downstairs. Thaddeus and Lucas were waiting eagerly downstairs, straining their eyes wide with anticipation.Thaddeus warmed up four cups of milk, one for each family member. He watched Lucas and Layla finish their milk and clean their cups. When they returned, he tentatively asked, "Is it time to go to bed?"The two children didn't understand what Thaddeus was thinking and assumed he wanted them to go to bed early. They obediently crawled into the tent and lay down in their spots.After entering, Layla emphasized with concern again, "Mommy, I want both you and Daddy to come. I want us to be together."Jessamine reluctantly went inside, sticking close to Layla. The living room lights were switched off, and a soft moonlight glow streamed in through the large windows.Lucas was tired from playing for a whole day, so he closed his eyes and soon began to breathe evenly, falling into a slumber.In contrast, Layla seemed a bit excited. She usually st

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
