Furious and brokenhearted. That’s exactly how Jace feels after seeing Emerald and Liam making out in the office. He was stunned and couldn’t move. His body trembled in anger, and at the same time, feeling so vulnerable seeing how beautiful and alluring his wife looked now. But the thought of a man touching her made his jaw clench and face hardened. He was about to attack Liam, but Kyle, who managed to escape his shock, stopped him.“Calm down, Jace,” he whispered.“I’m sorry, he rushed here.” Daryl and Creep said in unison.“I guess I will have to leave now,” Liam told Emerald as he helped her fix herself. “I’ll go back to your house and wait for you there,” he added, and young Morgan nodded at him in agreement, smiling.
WARNING!! MATURE CONTENT!!In her house, Liam talked to Emerald. “They look the same,” Liam commented as soon as he saw her approaching the living room where he was.“Yeah..” Emerald replied as she sat on the couch.” Where is he?”“With his nanny. I’m sure he’ll be here soon. He always feels your presence.” Liam answered, making Emerald smile. And just like what the man said,“Mommy!” Ace shouted happily.“Hi, baby.” Emerald opened her arms for his son and hugged him. She started to worry that Jace would do something when he found out about their son.“How’s your work, Mom?” Ace a
“Wow, Mommy!” Ace exclaimed as they walked through the amusement park away from the parking lot where they parked their car. It was the weekend, and just as she had promised her son, Emerald brought the boy to enjoy it with his nanny Keng and Liam, who drove for them.“Are you that happy?” Emerald asked as she laughed. She didn’t know her son would be delighted with a simple amusement park visit. She thought that it was better to go out than see her son in front of his laptop trying to practice how to code.“Of course!” Ace exclaimed. He had wanted him and Emerald to go and have fun together, but the boy hesitated to ask her since he knew she was busy with work. “If possible, I want us to spend weekends like this. We will look like a happy family with Daddy Liam,” Ace said happily. Still, Emerald was sad, thinking her son was aching for a complete family.“It’s okay, that’s how kids are these days,” Liam told her as he gently patted her back. Emerald nodded and smiled before saying,“
“Hi, M.” Kyle greeted as Emerald exited the elevator.“You don’t need to call me that way; Emerald is fine.” The girl replied. She didn’t want to be acquainted with any of Jace’s employees.“But Creep said they call you that way,” Kyle said as he motioned her to follow him.“They are my friends, and we are close,” she replied. Along the way, Emerald noticed a few employees looking at them.“I see; then I’ll call you Emerald.”“Thank you.”“Here’s your office,” Kyle said when they stopped in a room with a see-through glass wall and door. It was clean a
“Mom, I swear I saw that jinx!” Emerose exclaimed when she informed Merly about what she saw.“And you’re telling me that she’s with a boy? As in a kid?” Merely asked in disbelief. For years, they tried to look for Emerald but failed. But not because they worried about her after she left Jace’s mansion but because they wanted to know whether she had found Lucy.“Are you not going to believe me?” Emerose asked.“You said they were in a preschool; maybe she worked as a nanny, and her employer asked her to take the boy to school.”“But she doesn’t look like a nanny. She was wearing something expensive.” Emerose replied. “What if she already had a family? Do you think it’s time fo
“What are you doing here?” Esther asked as soon as she saw Emerald.“I am going to come back when you’re not busy.” young Morgan replied instead of answering the woman. ‘So, you really love her, huh?’ she thought before she turned and was about to close the door, but Jace stopped her.“What is it?” he asked,“I want to discuss something with you,” Emerald replied casually. She didn’t want to appear affected by Esther, although something in her wanted to pull her hair.“What are you going to discuss with him? No matter what you do, Jace will never like you. He didn’t like you before; he will never like you now and even in the future.”&ld
Everything was going well with Emerald’s company. They bag the contract with JHBank, the largest commercial bank in the country. Creep and Daryl arranged all necessary meetings and documentation. Emerald was extra happy when Elise managed to get the 60% controlling share of Morgan’s Grocer. Unknown to her family, she’s preparing for her grand entrance into their company.Another week passed, and Liam informed Emerald that his vacation was over and that he would have to go back to Europe. “I am going to miss you, ou Daddy Liam,” Ace said, teary eyes. Emerald just let him say that since her friend was going to leave.“Don’t worry, Ace. I am going to call you from time to time. I will come back for vacation.” Liam said as he tapped the boy on his head, which Ace normally didn’t want adults to do to him.
“Mommy, you look beautiful,” Ace said as he watched Emerald do her makeup. As usual, it was very light since she never changed her preference.“Really?” Emerald asked happily. She is used to her son’s flattery, and of course, she believes him even though she thinks that he was only saying that because he’s her son.“Yes, Mommy. I’ve never seen any mother who matches your beauty.” Ace replied, making young Morgan laugh louder. She faced her son and kneeled to almost level her son’s height and said,“You are my son. You know how to make me feel loved and happy.” Then she caressed his face and couldn’t help but see Jace in him. No matter where she looked at Ace, Jace’s face quickly appeared in her thoughts. That’s how exactly they
