"You mean pregnant women can't go hungry?" Jeana pretended not to understand Yvette's question before she innocently uttered, "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Yvette knew she was faking ignorance and continued eating without saying anything more. Shannon's arrival had nothing to do with Yvette, anyway.A while ago, the doctor had examined Yvette's pregnancy, confirming that it was indeed unstable. He had also advised that she must maintain a regular diet, as going hungry could affect the development of the fetus. Yvette already had a sensitive stomach to begin with.Noah, noticing Jeana's act, parted his pouty lips. "Mom, please don't scold Jeana. She's never had a child, so of course, she wouldn't know something like this." He looked at Jeana and continued, "Jeana, you can't get a husband, can you?"Jeana's expression changed instantly. "What?""You must be over 30. You look older than Mom. Is it because no one likes you, and that's why you can't find a husband and haven't gotte
When Shannon entered, she instructed Mandy to put down the gifts she was carrying and headed straight to look for Noah. But, Noah was still freshening up at that moment.Shannon then walked into the kitchen, where she saw Jeana eating. Jeana noticed her too and immediately the atmosphere turned awkward."Aunt Shannon, you're here already!" Jeana quickly put down what she was eating.Shannon glanced at her with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "This is my son's house. Am I not allowed to come here? What about you? Why are you eating in the kitchen?"To Shannon, Jeana's behavior seemed quite improper. Jeana understood that, too, and responded pitifully, "I'm sorry, Aunt Shannon. I was waiting for you all night yesterday and didn't eat anything. I was just so hungry this morning.""You should be more mindful in the future," Shannon advised. She was about to inquire how Jeana was doing in the Churchill family when Noah's voice interrupted from behind."Grandma!"Shannon's face lit
Yvette was baffled. Why was Jeana, who claimed to be at Yvette's house to serve her, telling her when to get up?"Yes. What's the matter?" Yvette replied calmly."Aunt Shannon is here. She asked me to get you. Please don't be mad at me!" Jeana exclaimed in a voice loud enough for Shannon to hear from downstairs.Shannon frowned, feeling displeased. How could Yvette be angry when she was the one who was waking up so late? As she couldn't scold Yvette in front of Noah, she suppressed her irritation. Once Yvette came downstairs, she commented, "Make sure to get up earlier next time. Don't sleep so long. It's not good for the baby."Yvette immediately understood that Jeana must have said something to Shannon. There was no point in explaining further, so she simply replied, "Okay." After all, Shannon only visited a few times a month. Once she left, Yvette could get up whenever she wanted. There was no need to argue over what time she woke up.Hearing Yvette's agreement, Shannon did
The vehicle started, and they made their way to Dewberry Manor.After a 20-minute drive, they arrived at Dewberry Manor.As Jeremiah got out of the car, he spotted Yvette sleeping on a lounge chair in the garden, sunlight pouring over her, her exposed skin glowing white."Mr. Lane." The security guard recognized Jeremiah instantly and opened the gate without hesitation when he saw Jeremiah.Most people found it hard to tell Jeremiah and Xavier apart, since they looked identical.Jeremiah walked straight to where Yvette was.However, Yvette remained unaware of his presence as she slept. Seeing this, Jeremiah simply stood there without a word.Perhaps feeling the warmth diminish due to someone blocking the sunlight, Yvette instinctively turned over and removed the book covering her face.Drowsily opening her eyes because of the persistent dimness, she noticed a figure standing before her. As she looked up, she met the deep-set gaze of a man."Xavier? Why are you back?" she ask
"Long time no see." Jeana's smile was a bit strained. She took a few steps back, waiting for Shannon and Noah to approach.Yvette found it rather surprising to see Jeanna act this way.After all, Jeana was always quick to rush up to a man, acting all cute and charming. Why was she now acting so distant with Jeremiah?"Jerry, why are you here?" Shannon walked over, visibly confused."I heard that Xav got injured, so I came to check on him," Jeremiah replied."Oh, Xav isn't here. He's staying at the villa over by the bay." Shannon turned to Noah. "Noah, say hello to your Uncle Jeremiah."Noah had always been well-behaved and had met Jeremiah several times before, but for some reason, he felt a bit afraid of the man today."Uncle Jeremiah," he finally managed to say after snapping back to attention.Jeremiah nodded warmly, bending down to hand Noah a piece of candy. "I didn't bring you any gifts this time, so here's a piece of candy I picked up during lunch."Although Jeremiah se
Before this, Noah hadn't been close enough to Jeremiah to see any dark glow. Even when he'd been near Jeremiah before, he hadn't noticed anything unusual. Today was the first time he'd noticed it."Stay safe at home. I'm about to board my flight and head back. I'll talk to you later," Zachary said."Okay." Noah reluctantly hung up the phone.Looking out the window, he could still see Jeremiah standing outside, talking to Yvette and Shannon. Even from a distance, Noah could still see the eerie, dark glow surrounding Jeremiah. He couldn't help feeling afraid.Shannon, who was outside, was reminded of Noah's recent live stream when she saw that Jeremiah was here. She wasn't supportive of the idea of a child making money.She turned to Yvette and suggested, "Yvvy, since you don't have much to do every day, why don't you go and get some experience at Jerry's company? You could earn a little extra income. Don't worry. It's enough for you to work three or four hours a day. It won't affec
Yvette hadn't expected Jeana to be both conniving and stupid. Still, that made things easier for her since dealing with Jeana wouldn't require much effort."I'm going to rest now," Yvette said."Alright, I'll be out of your hair," Jeana replied. She had originally planned to keep Yvette from resting too much, but considering her own agenda, she refrained from meddling further.Yvette took a walk in the garden before sitting down to rest again. From a distance, she noticed Jeana had returned with a large bag of gifts and was busy handing them out to the manor's maids, nannies, and even the security guards. Yvette silently watched Jeana as she ingratiated herself with the staff, not bothering to intervene. If anyone could be swayed by a few gifts, it meant that they could easily switch sides if given a couple more.Yvette chose not to pay attention to Jeana's manipulative tricks and instead focused on reading and studying sheet music.Meanwhile, Jeana kept glancing in Yvette's dir
Recently, Gemma had returned to Tirion for a business meeting. So Zoey met her for a meal. She even personally served her food and poured a glass of wine for her. "Have some more, Mom.""Sure." Gemma felt happy. However, the peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.Zoey took a look at her phone and saw that it was Yara. So, she declined the call and put the phone back into her bag.However, she didn't realize that she had accidentally answered the call instead. Since she'd put the phone back in her bag, she didn't hear Yara speaking either."Who was it?" asked Gemma. "Why didn't you answer it?""Oh, it's a harassment call," answered Zoey.When Yara hadn't gotten a response from Zoey, she'd planned on hanging up and calling again. However, she unexpectedly ended up hearing Gemma and Zoey's conversation.Upon hearing Zoey say that it was a harassment call, Yara knew the former had answered the call by mistake.Yara wanted to listen to how Zoey and Gemma
