Thaddeus persistently shook his head and said, "Enjoy your meal. It's all for you." He struggled to come to terms with the flavor. He had already reached his limit for tolerating it without opening the windows or car doors. Getting him to eat it would be almost impossible.Jessamine let out a resigned sigh."Fine, but you're passing up something truly delicious."After she finished talking, she glanced over his right leg and observed some holes on the knee of his suit pants, as if they were caused by a sharp object piercing through. She then asked,"Does it hurt?"Thaddeus took a moment to realize that she was inquiring about his knee."It doesn't hurt."Following his response, he felt a sense of warmth within his heart.Thaddeus found himself inexplicably transforming into a lovesick young fool, resembling Jordan more and more with each passing day. Just a small gesture of concern from her would fill him with joy, causing him to savor the feeling for an extended period. "C

Thaddeus moved with speed, efficiently getting the beef brisket ready. After immersing it in cold water and blanching it, he then cooked it with the tomatoes in the stew pot. The way he cooked showed expertise and ease, as if he had made this dish numerous times. In the kitchen, he was occupied with various tasks, donning an apron, as Jessamine casually observed him from the countertop. After preparing the mash potatoes and prepping the greens, Thaddeus was ready for the beef brisket to finish cooking so he could stir-fry the vegetables and serve the meal. Once he washed his hands, he realized that Jessamine had been watching him attentively. "Jessie, are you hungry now?"Jessamine answered honestly,"I am not really hungry, but watching you cook is quite a pleasure."Thaddeus put his hands on his hips, looked at the apron he had on, and jokingly asked, "Interesting hobby you have there—a fascination with uniforms maybe?"Jessamine blushed slightly as he listened to his

"Have you checked and confirmed that it's a reputable and safe tour group?"Jordan assured confidently. "Mr. Holt, you can rest assured. This is a legitimate group. I found it through a trusted contact, so it's reliable.""When is the departure?""The day after tomorrow.""Handle the payment and paperwork. I'll send you the money.""Alright."It was now settled. Thaddeus believed it would be good for Heather to venture out and explore the world, enjoy the scenery, and capture some pictures. It would be preferable to prevent her from becoming irritable and causing problems at home due to her menopausal mood swings. The main reason was that he realized it was essential to help his sister change her perspective on the world. However, with the presence of Heather, all efforts would be fruitless.Jessamine grabbed a glass of water and settled next to Thaddeus on the couch. "Are you really planning to ask her to travel abroad?"Thaddeus smiled. "It may seem like I am being a cold-

However, what preoccupied Thaddeus' mind was that Jordan's wedding would be held in Zenville. He would have to go back if he wanted to attend it.Everyone finally had time off during the National Day holiday. He wanted to spend time with Jessamine and the kids. So, it would have been quite a dilemma if he couldn't be with her. Jessamine raised an eyebrow and inquired, "You were born and raised in Zenville. Even your home is in Zenville as well. Why can't you go back alone?"Thaddeus looked aggrieved. "The same goes for you. Why don't we go back together? We can stay at Jardin Estate." Jessamine snorted with laughter. "Mr. Holt, you're a bit clingy."Thaddeus didn't deny what she said. Now, he wanted to cling to Jessamine so that no one could drive him away from her.He pressed his forehead against hers and asked again, "Would you like to go back with me?"It was an event more than a month later. Jessamine didn't dare to guarantee she would have time for it now. After all, she

Thaddeus did well this time. The taste was pretty much as good as he had hoped for. He had mastered making the dish."Jessie, come sit here beside me," Thaddeus requested.Jessamine agreed and switched seats so that she and Thaddeus were sitting side by side.She helped herself to only one spoonful of mashed potatoes. She had already eaten two large pieces of jackfruit, so her calorie intake was over the limit. She needed to watch her figure."Is your knee still hurting?" Jessamine asked.Thaddeus had nearly forgotten about it until she brought it up. He had wanted her to take care of him on a whim earlier. But within a few minutes, he almost gave himself away.He stiffened his right leg and said, "It hurts a bit.""Do you have a first aid kit at home? Let me take a look. If there's a splinter that's gotten in, it needs to be extracted, and your wound must be disinfected. Otherwise, you might lose your leg," Jessamine said solemnly.Thaddeus raised an eyebrow and urged, "Let's

Jessamine tidied up the kitchen, took off her apron, and walked out of the kitchen."Where is your first aid kit? Let me take a look at your knee," she said.Thaddeus snapped back to reality. He admitted that he told the lie just to satisfy his own selfish desires and never expected her to take it so seriously."I haven't lived in this house for long and haven't prepared a first aid kit yet. Jessie, it's not a big deal. Come over here and rest for a bit," Thaddeus said."I'm not tired. Let me help you disinfect first," Jessamine said while rummaging through the cabinet in the living room. She found a box marked with a red cross and started examining it closely."Isn't this a first aid kit?"Thaddeus felt his throat tighten up. It did indeed require 100 lies to cover up one lie. "I forgot that I already had it at home."Jessamine didn't notice his discomfort and came over with the first aid kit. She reached out to roll up his pant leg after she reached the couch.Thaddeus couldn

Jessamine couldn't bring herself to lie to him. While she wanted to pretend to comfort him, she was also afraid that the truth would hurt his feelings.Jessamine remained silent.Thaddeus chuckled softly and lifted her onto his lap.What more could he possibly want? As long as she had him in her heart, that was enough for him. After reflecting on how he spent the past four years, he felt like a walking corpse. Being able to find her again and rebuild their relationship was already a stroke of incredible luck."Jessie, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough. I'm not greedy, but I hope you are. You should want all of me, and have your heart filled only with thoughts of me. I want to give you everything; do you want to feel it?"He took her hand and placed it on his chest. He gazed at her intently. "Jessie…"Jessamine felt her eyes grow hot with tears and beneath her palm was his strong heartbeat. Each beat of his heart resonated against her palm and sent a warmth thr

Thaddeus looked at Thomas in a daze. He was momentarily unsure of what to say.Jessamine was sitting with her back to the door and didn't see Thomas standing there. She noticed Thaddeus' sudden emotional distancing. Frustrated, she hooked her hands around his neck, tilted her face up, and leaned in to kiss him again.Thaddeus froze for a moment, as he felt reluctant to evade her enthusiasm. Under Thomas' watchful eyes, he couldn't respond in any way, so he just stood there stiffly as she kissed him."What's wrong with you?" she asked.Jessamine noticed his absent-mindedness. He was the one who initiated the kiss, and now he was ignoring her. What was he doing?Thaddeus licked his lips and glanced toward the door again."Jessie, come down first," he said.Jessamine furrowed her brows slightly. She was evidently displeased with his attitude."Thaddeus, what do you mean? You were the one who just picked me up and put me on your lap. Is this how you act when you're trying to woo so

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
