Although Thaddeus had bought a new computer after returning to Zenville, his old computer still had many important files on it. At the moment, he didn't have anything else to do, so he decided to go over."Wait for me. I'll come over now," he said.Jessamine hung up and took a small sip of her coffee. She had called to ask him when would be a good time to visit Thomas. If he was busy, she figured she could go home now before the evening rush hour to pick up the two kids first.In the end, they didn't get to the main point after all the meandering conversation.Jessamine rubbed her temples, feeling a bit dizzy. Her thoughts were constantly led astray whenever she talked to him these days. She had a tendency to forget her original intentions when she spoke to him about something."This can't go on," Jessamine reminded herself inwardly.In the time it took for Jessamine to finish her cup of coffee, Thaddeus had come over from his office building across the street to Kama Jewelry. Wh
"Mr. Holt, should we get going? If we stay any longer, I'm afraid it might be too much for you to endure," Jessamine teased.She deliberately placed her hand near his firm chest. As for which part of him couldn't handle it… well, she didn't need to say it out loud. Thaddeus' throat tightened and his eyelids wouldn't stop twitching. His gaze landed on her smooth and delicate hand. His mind was filled with scenes from the bathroom yesterday.There was no doubt he was somewhat addicted. "Jessie..."He held her mischievous hand and kissed it gently. Then, he placed it against his abs, guiding her to slide down along his muscles.Jessamine's fingers curled slightly as his warmth enveloped her, stirring up a rush of feeling within her.It was impossible not to have improper thoughts at that moment.Jessamine couldn't stop thinking about the scenes from office romance comic strips she had seen before.At that moment, a sharp knock on the door brought both of them back to reality. Jes
Jessamine was a designer with a unique taste. Therefore, ordinary designs couldn't catch her eye. Designs that could make her praise repeatedly meant she acknowledged their design concept and it aligned with her own taste.At that time, Thaddeus was dealing with some tricky work matters and replied perfunctorily, "Not bad. It's just coffee. Why can't you drink it in any cup?"Because of that, Jessamine gave him the silent treatment and even locked the master bedroom. She even left him to sleep in the study room.Thaddeus snapped back to reality. He looked at the cup in his hand and then glanced at the one on the desk that belonged to her, noticing how perfectly they matched as a pair.Thaddeus was in a good mood, and his impression of the young lady who had just brought him coffee improved a bit. "Jessie, so you bought this set of cups again and even saved one for me."Jessamine finished tidying up the items on her desk and glanced over at him. Thaddeus looked relaxed, leaning bac
As the two stepped out of the office, they were met with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them intently.Jessamine thought it was necessary to give Judith a heads-up. She couldn't let her speak carelessly.She needed to maintain her cold and authoritative image at work, so she couldn't afford for it to be ruined over this one matter.She went downstairs and got in the car.Thaddeus didn't bring Jordan along, so he naturally took on the role of the driver himself. Jessamine sat in the passenger seat, holding her phone as she texted Judith."Don't talk about today's matters, or you'll have your pay docked!" Jessamine's assistant was quite simple-hearted, and they usually joked around with each other. Jessamine completely treated her like a younger sister. She'd never put on airs as her boss in front of Judith.Jessamine sent her a message with a warning tone. She expected Judith to reply with some crying emojis, swore that she had blinded and muted herself, and would never spea
Judith stared blankly at her phone screen that was making her dizzy. She hadn't expected the situation to get completely out of control. If she had known everyone would react so strongly, she would never have said anything!"The consequences will be severe if Jacinda finds out," Judith thought.Judith nervously exited the interface and found an unread message. She was completely stunned when she read the content.She reopened the group chat and scrolled up for a long time to find the message she had sent. However, the time limit had already passed when she tried to delete it.She muttered to herself, "I'm done for. I'm totally screwed now!"On the other side, Jessamine was waiting for Judith to respond. Then, she temporarily forgot about the matter when Thaddeus talked to her."Has Lucas received the robots yet?" Thaddeus asked.Jessamine hummed in acknowledgment and said, "Yes, it took ages to open the package. But the eyes are still a little damaged. You should ask Lucas lat
"Get in the car," Thaddeus said.The family got into the car and played some upbeat music. Thaddeus first drove to the supermarket near their home and bought some vegetables and meat. This time, he didn't bring the nanny along. So, they would need to make their own meal, just like when they were in Hajera.Thomas kept saying he didn't need anyone to take care of him and could make his own meals. When Thaddeus saw him wearing an apron and bringing out a plate of pasta from the kitchen that morning, the joy on his face was unmistakable.In these few days before he got really busy, Thaddeus decided he would make the most of his time to treat Thomas well.When the family of four arrived at the door carrying lots of shopping bags, Thomas was wearing an apron and washing some vegetables. He hadn't been in the kitchen for many years. The last time he cooked was probably back when his wife was still alive.Thomas was usually taken care of by a bunch of servants and didn't need to lift a f
He started thinking about his late wife again. He had eaten pelmeni for so many years, but no one could recreate the taste of how she made it. It was a pity that he would never be able to taste it again.His wife had passed away when she was just in her early 50s. At that time, Thomas was so preoccupied with his business empire that he didn't have time to pay attention to her health. It wasn't until the doctor handed him the test results that he found out it was late-stage lung cancer.That moment he felt was truly one of despair. The doctor said that her illness was difficult to cure with medicine. It was only four months from the time she was diagnosed until she passed away.Even though modern medicine was advanced, there were still diseases that could not be cured. From that moment on, his life was filled with endless regret. If only he had spent more time at home and not left his wife so exhausted from taking care of their two sons.If she had been monitored to go for regular c
"Mr. Holt, I've been tracking Burry over the past few days and noticed she goes to the hospital every two days. I'm unsure what's wrong with her health, but she doesn't look well and seems sick. Alex treats her well and always accompanies her during hospital visits," said the private detective."Is it possible to obtain the medical records?" Thaddeus asked.The detective hesitated and said, "I've tried to, but it's confidential.""Send over the name of the hospital where she received treatment," Thaddeus instructed.Shortly after hanging up the phone, the detective sent the name of what seemed to be a private hospital.Thaddeus sent the hospital's name to a friend from Frence whom he met while studying abroad. "Do you know anyone at this hospital? I need you to do me a favor."After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. It was probably because his friend was busy, unlike a private detective who worked around the clock and was always ready to respond immediately
