Paige left Bayview Villa, and Alex followed suit, tailing her car until she reached her apartment.Ignoring him, Paige parked her car and stepped into the elevator.The moment Paige pressed the floor button, Alex managed to squeeze himself inside.Paige's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you crazy, Pug— Hmm!"Without hesitation, Alex grasped the back of Paige's head, leaned in, and kissed her passionately.Paige struggled to break free, but Alex held her hands firmly against his chest.After a moment, he pulled away, his breathing heavy. "I love you, Paige!"Paige was taken aback. "What?""I said, I love you!" Alex declared earnestly.For a moment, Paige was stunned, and then she burst into laughter. "You said it!"She playfully tugged at Alex's tie and kissed him deeply.Their passionate kiss continued until the elevator suddenly opened.An elderly man standing outside dropped his garbage bag in astonishment at the sight before him.Startled by the noise, Paige and Alex ab
Caroline observed Naomi's reaction, but all she received was an indifferent nod.She turned her gaze away and gently patted Naomi's shoulder. "I appreciate your efforts. Once the company is in a better state, I'll ensure you receive a raise.""Thank you, Ms. Shenton," Naomi replied.-Caroline hurried back to Bayview Villa and took Jamie outside for some fresh air. Treating Jamie to a meal outside was the key to getting her to take her medicine.Seeing Jamie's improved spirits, Caroline reassured her, "I understand that staying home can be dull, Jamie. However, I need to work to earn money. I promise to take you out every weekend and go for walks with you at night when I'm free. Will that be acceptable?"Jamie looked at Caroline with a touch of sadness. "Carol, did I disrupt your work today?"Caroline answered frankly, "Yes."She didn't shy away from being honest with Jamie because she needed to resolve this situation. Otherwise, she would end up sacrificing her job productivit
Caroline's voice startled Evan, bringing him back to reality. He gazed at her solemnly and asked, "Why is my mother at your house?"Caroline was stunned. "Your mother?"Caroline quickly glanced at Jamie as if recalling something. Evan's eyes resembled Jamie's when compared.A sudden realization hit Caroline—she had been taking care of Evan's mother all along.Evan controlled his anger and spoke coldly. "Are you going to give me an explanation, Caroline?"Evan's rude attitude infuriated Caroline."You're asking me for an explanation, yet you couldn't even watch over your mother? Did you issue a Silver Alert? Have you let me know that you were looking for her?"I discovered her on the street! She had walked so extensively that her feet were bleeding! If you can't care for your own mother, why should I provide an explanation to you?"Startled by Caroline's emotional comment, Jamie quickly glanced up. After a moment of thought, she realized that Evan bore a striking resemblance to
Evan's tired expression deepened, and he said, "Please, let me know right away if there's a problem. I'll arrange for someone to deliver my mother's medicine. Also, I could really use your help looking after Axel for two days while I'm away on a business trip.""Axel is my kid. No need to ask for help. It's my duty," Caroline said, looking at Axel still in the car. She smiled and asked, "You coming out, dear?"Axel picked up his backpack and exited the car. He approached Caroline and said, "I didn't want to interrupt your talk with Daddy, Mommy."Caroline affectionately pinched Axel's cheek. "You don't need to be so cautious when you're with me. Relax and stay here. I've arranged for a doctor to look after Grandma every day."Evan was taken aback by the sight of Axel's smile directed at Caroline. It felt unfamiliar as if he had never witnessed Axel smiling before.While observing their interaction, a sudden thought struck Evan. 'Maybe Axel could change for the better if he stayed
Gregory said, "Even if the child has money, it won't come to our hands!"Jade glanced at Gregory. "It's true that the money won't come to us, but we can give the outfit to our daughter! She's going to look so elegant!"Gregory nodded. "That makes sense!"Jade said, "Moreover, the child looks like a foolish, rich kid. We'll save money if we take him out and make him pay for our meals, right?"Gregory's eyes lit up. "You're smart!""Of course! Let's take him out over the weekend!""Sure! You call the shots!""I'm home, Mom! Please come help me!" Jade and Gregory heard Brandon shout from outside after they had finished scheming.Curious, they hurried outside and were amazed to see a sleek black car parked right in front of the door.Brandon stuck out his head. "Mom, look at my newly purchased car!"Jade approached in shock. She wanted to touch it but did not have the courage to do so. "How much does it cost?"Brandon said, "A little over 100,000 dollars! It looks great, right?"
Jamie's body shook violently, prompting Caroline to embrace her while she gazed in astonishment toward the restaurant's entrance.This reaction from Jamie occurred after she had spotted a man who had already left.Caroline didn't dwell on it too much. She was accustomed to Jamie relapsing whenever she encountered other men.Not far away, in a parked car, Casey stared at Jamie with a cold, calculating look. He recognized the woman beside Jamie as Evan's former mistress.With a sneer, Casey removed his glasses and leisurely cleaned the lenses. He hadn't anticipated that Caroline would still be alive.A moment later, Casey put his glasses back on, and his phone began to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Daniella, so he answered slowly.Daniella's voice was gentle as she inquired, "Are you available tonight, Mr. Jordan? Can I treat you to a drink?"Casey smirked. "Sure, send me the address. I'll be there."-At 7:30 p.m., Casey and Daniella met at a hotel's bar.Ca
Draco had grown fond of Jamie and made her his third wife. But Evan's mother, still young, never cared for Draco. She despised him when Evan was a teenager. Thus, she had made significant efforts to seduce Casey, who had only been slightly younger than her.Casey, 29 and full of youthful vigor, had found it hard to resist the allure of such a beautiful woman.However, Casey had made a grave error by succumbing to Evan's mother's advances, engaging in multiple encounters with her.Unable to keep it a secret any longer, Casey finally confessed the truth to Draco.Draco had banished Casey from the country for a harsh 15 years in a fit of anger.Casey looked at Daniella in agony and asked, "Do you think I'm filthy too?"Daniella was shocked but sympathized with him. She shook her head and said, "No. It was her fault, not yours."Casey burrowed his head, sobbed, and said, "Thank you."Daniella felt happy that Casey was willing to talk to her about the important issue, but she also
Caroline stared at her phone, puzzled. Kenny hadn't shared his arrival time for tomorrow.Unable to sleep, Caroline descended the stairs.Upon seeing the Shentons' mess in the living room, she massaged her throbbing head. As she moved toward the kitchen, a terrible smell hit her. Opening the kitchen door, she was shocked by what she found.The floor was covered in chicken waste, and one of the chickens had even hopped onto the counter, spreading waste all over the beige surface!Caroline gripped the doorknob tightly to control herself. She wouldn't tolerate their careless behavior in her house if it weren't for the timing.Once upstairs, Caroline exhaled deeply. It was time to put her plan into action.-Caroline woke the three children at 7:30 a.m.Liora was so lethargic she could not even hold up her head. "I had a tummy ache last night. I can't get up…" she said weakly."Me too, Mommy.""Me too…"Caroline said concerningly, "Is it bad? Would you like me to take you to the
