Maxwell's heart broke at the sadness behind Caleb's voice. He threw the lawyer's letter into the trash and promised, "I will bring Mommy home for you tonight, okay?"Caleb seemed satisfied. But he added, "Don't make Mommy mad! Buy her some flowers and cheer her up. You should treat women kindly!"Maxwell couldn't help but laugh. Where did Caleb learn that from? He seemed to have a whole strategy in mind.After ending the call, Maxwell leaned back in his chair, racking his brain for how to bring Jennifer back. He had promised Caleb, and he couldn't break it. Then, an idea suddenly struck him, and his eyes lit up.He immediately called the principal of Golden Sands Academy. Once he revealed his identity, the principal was shocked. "Cassidy is your daughter! We would have taken extra care of her if we had known earlier!"Maxwell hummed. "I want to pick up Cassidy earlier today. Could you let her teacher know? Also, we're planning a surprise for Cassidy's mom, so there's no need to in
Maxwell couldn't believe he had to meet up with his daughter secretly. He explained, "Your mom is at work. How about we go pick her up together?"Cassidy nodded. Even though they had their dad now, they still couldn't be without their mom.With that, Maxwell held Cassidy and got into the car. He told the driver to head to Haven Hospital.Jennifer had just finished her shift and was walking out of the hospital. Maxwell told the kids to stay in the car while he quickly met her.Jennifer was preparing to confront him and couldn't believe Maxwell would look for her first. Her anger flared. "I was just about to find you! Did you receive the lawyer's letter?"Maxwell nodded. "Yes, I received it.""When are you going to return Caleb to me?" Jennifer glared at him.Maxwell stared at her. "Come home with me if you want to see the kids. I didn't give you three days to receive a lawyer's letter in return."Jennifer spoke through clenched teeth, "Don't even think about it! Then I guess I'l
"Nathan…" Natalie gave Nathan a pitying look. "Do you really trust Jennifer that much? I mean, while Mom and I like her and her kids, we will accept her if she is loyal to you. But she just got into her ex-husband's car. Has she even considered your feelings?"Nathan understood what she was implying and firmly responded, "Jennifer isn't the type of person you think she is. She definitely went with Maxwell for the kids' sake and didn't betray me."Natalie fell silent, anxiously following the car ahead. She also hoped Jennifer had her reasons and would resolve things with her ex-husband soon. After all, Nathan wasn't getting any younger, and their parents were frantic about him getting married.Their father refused to accept Jennifer in the past. But now he had come around. Natalie hoped that nothing would go wrong because it was obvious how much Nathan cared about Jennifer.…Back at Lance Manor, Martha nearly cried when she saw Jennifer. She quickly greeted her, "You're back, Mrs.
But to Jennifer's surprise, Caleb and Cassidy both hesitated.Cassidy mumbled, "Mommy, we heard what you and Daddy said."Maxwell and Jennifer exchanged glances.Caleb looked at Jennifer. "Cassidy and I both want our dad. Even though we like Mr. Lowe, he's not our real dad."Jennifer didn't expect her children would side with Maxwell.What had Maxwell done for the children in these five years? Why are they siding with him?Jennifer felt both angry and sad. She held in her tears and sternly asked, "Are you coming? If not, then stay here forever! I'm leaving!"With that, she glared at Maxwell and turned to leave.Caleb was terrified and didn't know what to do. He didn't want to lose his mother!Cassidy ran after her. "Mommy, don't go! Wait for me!"But Cassidy was new to Maxwell's house and didn't notice the steps at the entrance to the living room.She screamed as she fell forward face-first. Then, a sharp cry cut through the air.Jennifer immediately turned around and ran t
Seeing the hopeful eyes of the two children, Jennifer felt that despite all her efforts over the past five years, she still owed something to Cassidy and Caleb.Maxwell noticed she was no longer insisting on leaving and quickly said to Caleb, "What would you like to eat for lunch? I will make it for you."Caleb told Cassidy, "Dad's cooking is really good. He made lots of delicious food for me over the past few days. You can tell him whatever you want to eat!"Cassidy rubbed her hands together and asked sweetly, "Really? Then... Can I eat chicken wings, lamb chops, and ice cream cake?"Maxwell smiled and pinched Cassidy's nose. "You can. But the ice cream cake will have to wait until tonight. I'll make the other things for you now, okay?"Jennifer couldn't help but think that Maxwell was being manipulative. Leaving the ice cream cake for the evening seemed like he was tempting the kids with food to keep them here.But she didn't point it out for the sake of the children.While Ma
Nathan's gentle voice came through, "Jennifer, where are you? Should I come find you? Let's have lunch together.""Oh, no, I..." Jennifer couldn't bring herself to say she was at Maxwell's place. Instead, she made up an excuse. "I've already made plans with Laura. How about we reschedule for another day?"There was a brief silence before Nathan said dejectedly, "Alright, take care."Nathan ended the call with a pale face.Natalie had been listening to the conversation and grew angry. "What's this? She's lying about being at her ex-husband's place. This was what I was worried about. You've been treating them well, and this is how she repays your kindness? Is she planning to get back with her ex before telling you?""Stop it!" Nathan interrupted and opened the car door. "Get out."Natalie pointed at herself in surprise. "Get out? Are you out of your mind, Nathan? We should storm into that villa and ask why she lied!""Again, get out!" Nathan's face was grim, and his stern gaze int
Caleb's words stirred up waves of emotion and Jennifer felt increasingly sad and guilty toward her children. Looking at their expectant gazes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.Maxwell was even more excited than the children seeing that she agreed.Jennifer glanced at him awkwardly. "I'll sleep with Cass. You can sleep with Cal."But Cassidy pouted. "I want to sleep with Daddy too! Mommy, can we all sleep together?"Caleb quickly chimed in, "I'll sleep in the middle with Cass, and you and Dad can sleep on either side. Dad's bed is so big!"Maxwell almost burst into laughter seeing how enthusiastic the children were. How could they be so adorable?He tried to hold back his laughter, while Jennifer was embarrassed by their enthusiasm. She firmly declined, "No, we can't sleep together. Only married couples sleep together, understand?"Caleb stared at her grimly. "How did Cass and I come about if you and Dad didn't sleep together?"Seeing Jennifer's shifting expression, Maxwell
Maxwell froze at Jennifer's words. He pressed further, "What do you mean you almost lost your life? What happened when you gave birth?"Jennifer muttered, "I lost a lot of blood when giving birth to Cassidy and Caleb, and almost died. They managed to save me, but due to excessive blood loss, my brain was deprived of oxygen, leading to my memory loss. Maxwell, I gave birth to these two children at the risk of my life. I can't lose them, understand?"Maxwell was confused. Why didn't this match the information he found? He remembered Nathan had told him that Jennifer lost her memory because of a car accident.Suddenly, something clicked. He said to Jennifer, "It was Nathan. He lied to me! He fed me false information to prevent me from finding out about you. He told me your memory loss was from a car accident. Jennifer, Nathan isn't who you think he is. He's ruthless too!"Jennifer sneered. "Maxwell, I can't believe you're still putting all the blame on others. Have you ever thought ab
