Instead of getting angry with her. Tyler pulled her in his arms and whispered. "Baby, I'm glad you're back." He was glad that he could draw a reaction from her. She's no longer like a mechanical doll that showed no emotion at all. Jade stiffened as she realized that he was able to elicit some reaction from her. "Tyler, I'm so tired of your game. Can you please let me go? Find a new woman you can play with. Aren't you bored yet?" Tyler tightened his hug as if he was trying to smother her life. "You're not my plaything! You're my wife! As long as I live, I'll never let go of you. Bear that in your mind," he showered her with his kisses. "You are mine," he declared. 'Yes, I'm all yours but you've never been mine,' she replied in her mind. She let him be and didn't struggle anymore. She laid her face on his chest as the rigor of day caught up with her. It was another day, the sun was rising from the east, blessing the earth with its warmth. But, Jade still felt cold inside. The on
Tyler smiled when his suspicion was confirmed. He had been observing Jade for the past few days. She was lethargic, always yawning and she would sleep all the way from the hospital to the mansion everytime he picked her. He had also observed that her food preferences changed and became weird. For example, she liked eating sour food. He heard her requesting Gregory to find a sour strawberry. She would sneak in the middle of the night to eat ice cream with that sour strawberry. Jade didn't know that Tyler would follow her secretly to check what she's been doing every night. Jade held her still flat tummy in surprise. She looked down while she caressed her belly. And her motherly instinct was awakened in an instant. When she looked up, her eyes met Tyler's tender gaze. She couldn't describe her feelings when she saw that gentle smile on his handsome face. "We have another baby," Tyler placed his hand over her abdomen, the warmth of his hand spread reaching her heart. The ice aroun
Tyler sighed. "What should I do to make you believe that I truly love you?" Jade looked up at him. The light cast an enigmatic aura onto him which made him look otherworldly. She stared at him for a while before opening her mouth to make her reply. "You should ask yourself what would make me believe you."What she was trying to say, if he truly loves her he would know what she loves and hates. He would figure it out as she wasn't hard to read. Any man who loved his woman would do everything to show his sincerity to his beloved. Women across the world wanted their men's absolute loyalty and faithfulness. No one wants to be cheated. If she isn't jealous at all, she doesn't love that man. Tyler stood up and carried her in his arms towards the bathroom when he saw that it was about lunch time. Immediately, after getting ready, they came down for lunch. Jade looked at Tyler when she overheard Cecilia and Jared's voice. "Did you tell them?" "No," he shook his head. "Jade, darling
As they were having a meal together, Tyler received a phone call from Sophia. "Tyler!" Jade frowned when she heard Sophia screaming. "Jason fainted." Tyler stood up and left in a hurry without a word. He didn't even give Jade a glance and just walked away. Jade lowered her head and had a tight grip on the cutlery in her hands, turning her knuckles white. Cecilia looked at Tyler's departing back with dismay and slightly shook her head. When Tyler arrived at Crescent mansion, his large strode carried him to Jason's room in no time. His heart sank as he saw Jason, lying on the bed unconscious. "Tyler," Sophia threw herself on him but Tyler pulled away. He held her arms and let her sit on the edge of the bed. Sophia gritted her teeth. He just exaggerated things so that Tyler would come home as he hadn't been home for a long time. Jason didn't pass out but slept. "Tyler, can you stay here? I'm afraid what will happen to our son," she looked at him with. Her eyes were begging him a
Jade went to the hospital as she had some scheduled consultation today. She just can't leave without endorsing some of her patients.After the consultation, she went to the HR department to file an indefinite leave of absence. She never had a leave of absence for all the years she worked in this hospital. As a result, her leave of absence was approved right away. Surprisingly, as Jade went back to her office, a woman who had her back facing the door was standing in front of her desk. She turned around when she heard the faint creaking of the door. The smile on Jade's face faded in an instant when she came face to face with Sophia who was wearing her signature smug look. "Jade Leitner, are you obsessed with following my footsteps?" Sophia said in a mocking tone. Jade raised her brow. "You think highly of yourself," she retorted icily. Sophia burst into laughter. "Really?" "Leave, I don't have time for this madness," Jade said as she was having a headache talking to this woman.
As their eyes met, the smile on his face faded at once. Jade's blue eyes turned watery at the sight of Tyler with his second family enjoying their time together. While she and Tim were neglected. "Tim, mommy is not feeling well, let's go," Jade couldn't stand it so she had to say an alibi. Tim nodded, his mom was the most important person in his life. Seeing his father with a kid on his shoulder and a woman hugging him like what his mother does , he immediately understands that his father had another family. "Timothy!" Jason called Tim as he recognized him from afar. Tim halted from his tracks and looked at Jason. "Daddy, that's my friend over there," Jason excitedly pointed at where Timothy stood. "And he's with the surgeon who did a procedure in my heart." Tyler walked towards Timothy. "Tim, let's go," Jade didn't want to stay another second. However, Tim's feet seemed to have been glued to the ground. Tyler put Jason down as they arrived in front of Jade and Tim. "Daddy, th
He can't seem to reconcile the fact that his father had betrayed his mom while claiming he loves her. Tyler pursed his lips and listened to Jade's answer. "I don't know if he was really telling the truth," Jade replied and kissed Timothy's forehead. "Do you believe him when he says he loves you?" Could a man who loves a woman betray the woman he loves? Maybe, his father doesn't really love his mom. "I don't," Jade honestly answered. She couldn't conceal what was really happening in her relationship with Tyler anymore. After all, Tim already knew it. There's no point in hiding. Tim slid his tiny arm under her neck and placed the other over and hugged her neck, saying, "Even if daddy doesn't love you, Tim, loves you forever, mommy!" Sincerity punctuated Tim's words.Though still young, Timothy could see the pain in his mother's eyes. If his father couldn't genuinely love his mother. He on the other side can truly love his mom. All his life, his mother gave all the love she coul
"Are you the husband?" Luke gulped hard, he nodded knowing that the doctor would ask consent from the patient's closest family member. Tyler wasn't around, he's not going to sit around, doing nothing when Jade's life is on the line. "I'm sorry the child didn't make it," the doctor said with a grim face. "Your wife needs a blood transfusion now," she added, urgency lacing her voice as she spoke. "She has the same blood type as me," Luke answered at once, it's a matter of life and death and he can't afford to waste another second. He'll just face Tyler's fury later on, Jade's is his topmost priority. Tyler was in an important business meeting so he didn't entertain calls. While they were heading back to the company, he received a call from the mansion. "Sir, madam was taken to the hospital," the butler's trembling voice came over as soon as Tyler put the phone on his ear. "Where?" His heart filled with fear. His body shook like a tree shaken by a violent storm wind removing all i
"We have to tell Jason about it. The boy should not be kept in the dark. No matter what, that is his mother," Jade said and sighed. "If he wants to see her for the last time, we'll allow him," Jade said again. They can't change the fact that Sophia is Jason's mother. If he wants to see his mother they will allow it. Jade felt the need for Jason to see his mother for the last time so he could get closure. As usual the dinner table was lively as the family bantered while they're having dinner. The family practice the stiff table manners among the aristocrats when they're having dinner with outsiders. But when they were eating with their relatives they didn't follow the stiff table manners. Tyler and Jade didn't want their kids to feel like being shackled. "Jason, mom and dad are going to talk to you about your mother," Tyler said while the family was seated at the patio after the meal. Timothy, when he heard it, being sensible, he stood up and about to leave but Jason stopped hi
Morning came, Jade abruptly sat up. As soon as she woke up she remembered Jason. "Hey, easy," Tyler's voice rang out. "Baby, is Jason back? Did you find him?" While she was surrendering herself to oblivion last night, she heard him promise to find Jason. "Yes," Tyler answered but the glum in his face made Jade's breathing erratic, she staggered backward. "What happened to him? Where is our son?" Jade was starting to panic again. "Answer me!" Jade said when he didn't answer. "Calm down, baby," Tyler pulled her to him. He swallowed. He doesn't know how to tell her that Jason received a hard beating from Sophia and the boy was in a coma and hadn't woken up yet. "How could I calm down? You're not telling me where my son is?" Jade was a sobbing mess. "Shhhh, alright, calm down first and I'll tell you," Tyler stroked her hair. "Tyler, please hurry up and tell me. I want to see him," Jade pleaded. "We found Jason last night, but he's in the hospital now. Sophia treated him brutally
Hatred flickered in the gray orbs of the young boy as he stared at the woman called his mother. Not once did he feel loved by her. Even when he was in her womb, she did not consider the effect of her vices on his health.In his mother's heart he wasn't a person at all. He was just a tool. A tool she could use so that she could keep Tyler. The woman his mother was berating, the woman who wasn't related to him was the one who surrounded her with unconditional love. The love he craved from his mother was given by Jade without an ulterior motive. Since the day Tyler took him back Jade did nothing but to make him feel loved and accepted. It wasn't for a show. With or without people surrounding them Jade was consistently kind and loving to him. The same love she showered Timothy and the twins was the same love showered to him by Jade. Jade hasn't carried her in her womb but in the heart of the boy, Jade is his real mother. "You! Why do you look at me like that? Did she brainwash you
In the morning, Jade walked into the kitchen with a limp. She gulped when she saw the back of her man. His tight fit t- shirt and joggers defined his broad shoulders, slim waist and perky butt. His muscles flexed with every move he made. "Didn't you have your fill last night? Have you?" Tyler chuckled, snapping Jade out from her reverie. Slightly annoyed, Jade rolled her eyes and snorted. Tyler chuckled and continued cooking. The kids and Jade were already at the table when Tyler was done cooking. Timothy and Jason praised their dad for his cooking skill. Tyler was smiling from ear to ear due to the boys' approval. "I'll take the boys to school and be back after that," Tyler said while he nuzzled her neck. "Aren't you going to the company?" Jade asked while she brushed her hair. "I've been away for four consecutive days, I would like to spend time with my wife," he kept nuzzling her neck. "Today is your day off and I have to grab this opportunity to have you all myself while
A confused Jade walked out of the hospital flanked by bodyguards. Once seated on the rear passenger seat, Jade fished out her phone from her bag and called Tyler. "Babe," Tyler's voice came over. Jade took note of his tired voice. "Is something the matter? Why did you send bodyguards to pick me up?" Jade tried to speak as calm as she could but her words gave away how she felt at this time. "It's Sophia… She's on the loose," Tyler didn't want her to get frightened but he won't let her keep in the dark. He wanted her to be vigilant. "How? The correctional facilities have tight security, how did she manage to escape?" Jade frantically asked. Her breathing became erratic thinking about her four children. Now that Sophia is at large, the children would be her easy target to inflict damage to her and Tyler. "Her parents were able to get a court decision to transfer Sophia from the correctional to a mental institution due to her mental illness," Tyler answered. "Jadey, Sophia is a cr
Wilson Heinrich was placed on his cradle after being fed. Jade took the name of her youngest son from his adoptive father Wilson and Heinrich, the man who saved her from those who sought to kill her. "Why are you wearing a long face?" Cecilia cast a question to Jared innocently. "You should be in a festive mood because your nephew and niece are delivered safely," Jade said, wearing a sad expression as if she was offended. But deep inside she was just trying to pry on his love affair. "No, I am very happy!" Jared forced a smile. "Spill it!" Tyler said when he saw that he was forcing a smile. "Alright!" Jared lifted his hands in surrender. Tyler could read him easily and couldn't hide from him. Furthermore, he needs sound advice. "It's Gwen," his shoulders sagged as he mentioned her name. Jade and Cecilia shared a look."She's leaving and going back to Germany," he sighed. "So?" Cecilia reacted as if she didn't know anything. "I fell in love with her." Tyler's lips twitched.
Jade felt her whole body froze and stood there like an ice sculpture.Is this the bad feelings I had a while ago? Is he going to ruin my wedding? Why? Why doesn't he want me to be happy with my beloved? "Jadey, aren't you going to welcome your brother to your wedding?" Colton chuckled. Hearing her brother's remark, instantly the knot in her stomach disappeared. Jade turned around slowly. Her brother's tender gaze welcomed her. "Oh Jadey, you're so beautiful," Colton said proudly. He gathered her in his arms. "How did you know?" Jade asked him when he set her free from his hold. "Your man," two days before the wedding Tyler phoned him. At first he was livid when Tyler said that he and Jade are getting married. But after ranting at Tyler on the phone for about five minutes and receiving no retort from the man. His anger dissipated. Tyler told him that although Jade wanted to get married without his knowledge. He knew that Jade was sad that Colton would not be there in the weddi
One day before Jade and Tyler's wedding. They were cuddling on the couch overseeing the mountains. Suddenly, Jade's phone went off. She picked up her phone. "Hello, how was your honeymoon?" "It's great!" Colton answered but his voice was a little bit agitated. Jade picked up her brother's mood even without seeing his face. "What's wrong?" "Jadey, we had just arrived at the airport but we have to fly to Germany. Something came up," Colton said. "Okay take care of yourselves," Jade said seriously but her heart was leaping with joy. They had a few exchanges before hanging up the phone. "You silly girl," Tyler poked her forehead. "I wonder what would be your brother's reaction after he found out what you did to his company's website." "How did you know?" Jade didn't say what her plan was to him. "I didn't forget that you're an expert hacker," Tyler said, eyeing her with a naughty grin."That will be only until two in the afternoon and then their website will be back to normal," sh
It's been a week since Jared agreed to Gwyneth's proposal. Every evening after work they would go out and Gwen would always act cute before him and that infuriates Jared. However, he could do nothing but stifle his anger and act along with her. In order to divert the people's people's attention from Jade and Tyler. Gwyneth would always have their photos posted on her i*******m with captions. [Love of my life… Jared&Gwenfoerever] Gwyneth had gained hundreds of thousands followers. Many were thrilled at the couple and wished their relationship to stand firm forever. Her phone notifications were nonstop and she had to turn off the notification on her social media. On the other hand, Jared had no idea what Gwyneth had posted on her I*******m because he was too busy to even look at these things. "Jade, what do you think? Will Gwen be able to capture Jared's heart?" Cecilia altogether stopped setting up a blind date for Jared when Tyler said not to interfere in Jared's love affair. T
