"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

Thaddeus took out his phone, opened the photo album, and swiped through a few pictures sent by the detective to show Jessamine.Jessamine was astonished when she saw the photo for herself. She thought she looked quite similar to Burry, but she didn't expect them to look this similar. Their appearance and expressions were almost identical.At first glance, she almost thought that she was in the picture if it weren't for the unfamiliar surroundings.Jessamine believed it this time. Even without an expert's assessment, she trusted that the woman, who looked exactly like her, was indeed Noah's wife.With a worried expression, Jessamine asked, "Is she in a lot of danger right now?""Not necessarily. But it's very difficult for us to get close to her for real. Jessie…" Thaddeus said her name with a meaningful tone before continuing, "I suspect that Colin is not your biological father. I've taken hair samples from both of you for a DNA test, and the results should be available soon."Je

After dinner, Lucas led Thomas to the couch. "Great-grandpa, I have a gift for you."Layla took her small bag and said, "Great-grandpa, I prepared a gift for you too.""Oh?" Thomas asked with intrigue. He was filled with anticipation. He was very curious about what gifts these two children, who weren't even five years old, had prepared for an old man like him."Hurry. Take it out and show it to me," he said eagerly.Layla drew a portrait that included herself, Jessamine, Thaddeus, Lucas, and Thomas. Although the drawing didn't look very polished and the brushstrokes are somewhat childlike, it didn't affect the message the portrait conveyed."Great-grandpa, this is our family. I wanted to make you look a bit more handsome, but I haven't quite learned how to do that yet. Next time, I'll do better and make sure to draw you as the most handsome great-grandpa in the world," Layla promised.As Thomas grew older, his eyesight began to deteriorate. He held the painting up and examined it

"Hmm?"Jessamine stood up and followed him out the door, then headed upstairs.Jessamine let out a sigh of relief. She finally felt a bit more freedom to breathe. She had almost died of embarrassment just now, and Thaddeus clearly shared her sentiment.It was now just the two of them again.Thaddeus took out a ruby from the safe, the same one he had won at the exhibition last time. It was the gemstone that had made Layla quite envious for a while.When Thaddeus recalled it now, he thought it was quite interesting how fate worked. At that time, he and Layla were fighting over the gemstone, which was kind of unfair to her since he was much older. The funny thing was that they both wanted to give it to the same person.No matter what, the gemstone rightfully belonged to Jessamine.Jessamine looked at it for a long time before saying, "I like it. Thaddeus, when did you start the habit of collecting jewelry?"Jessamine was the one with this habit. Whenever the two of them traveled tog

Jessamine's tone carried a hint of a warning, but her voice sounded so charming that it seemed almost irresistible. She felt embarrassed just to even hear it.For over four years, she didn't find it particularly hard to endure her needs. She hadn't felt any intense needs, but at that moment, it completely overturned her self-perception.It might be as what the people online said—as women got older, their desires in that area also awakened. At 20, one was youthful and inexperienced; at 30, one turned vigorous and assertive; and at 40, one became powerful.She wasn't even 30 yet, so this shouldn't be happening.Jessamine's gaze was somewhat hazy. She was hesitant to lift her head and look at herself in the mirror. She didn't need to look at herself to know how flushed she must've looked, which made her feel quite embarrassed.Thaddeus finally stopped picking on her, and there was a hint of glee in his expression. "Jessie, are we still on good terms?"Jessamine felt like her mind wa

Thaddeus felt captivated by Jessamine's beauty, especially at this moment. He pushed the door open halfway and leaned against the doorframe, watching her go through her skincare routine. She poured unfamiliar liquids onto her palm and gently patted them onto her face bit by bit.Jessamine couldn't help but curiously ask, "How did you manage to prepare all of this?"Thaddeus crossed his arms over his chest and fixed his gaze on her face, seemingly unable to look away. "Since it's needed eventually, we might as well buy it sooner to avoid not having it when it's needed," he remarked casually.His last remark made Jessamine involuntarily recall their chat on the phone a few days ago. He had mentioned wanting to buy condoms in advance to avoid not having any when they needed them.Jessamine felt her rising temperature return right after she had just managed to bring it down.She quickly changed the subject, saying, "I remember you couldn't tell these skincare products apart. How did
