Cookie stayed in the guest room until the next morning and she made sure to lock the door from the inside so Jamie wouldn’t get in when she slept. Surprisingly, he didn’t return after she asked him to give her space to think. Throughout the night she’d barely slept as she relived Selena’s visit and recalled her words over and over again.They had a child together and that automatically connected them. She couldn’t stand to be an obstacle that’ll prevent the little girl from growing up in a happy home filled with both parents' love. Could she? These thoughts ran through her head over and over again and each time, her heart shattered more as the reality stared into her face.She knew Jamie was so nice that he’d immediately take up his responsibilities. And considering Selena was his first love, his closeness to their child could rejuvenate his feelings for his ex. Maybe the right thing to do was to end whatever has been going on between them. Maybe they weren’t meant to be together afte

Cookie’s frown deepened as she read the news headline over and over again.“A skilled businessman but a terrible father: Jamie Henderson,”“She didn’t do this, did she?” she asked but the look on Jamie’s face said it all.Selena had decided to have a field day over the issue and she thought the best way to go about it was to publicize it, to make Jamie look like a terrible person. She was well aware of how much Jamie hated his life being thrown to the public and she did just that.“Why would she even do this? What does she stand to gain? To watch the general public slander you to death? Will that make her happy and fulfilled?” Cookie asked, her anger getting the best of her as her voice raised with every word she said.Jamie shook his head, expelling a deep breath.“I have no idea what she wants. I’ve offered her child support and to take up my fatherly role but she’s refused,”She could hear the frustration in his voice and it tugged on her heartstrings. She placed the phone on the n

The news of Jamie’s inhuman treatment to Selena and her kid had circulated all over the country, as hate comments began to spread about him and Cookie, mostly towards Cookie who people saw as the homewrecker that was trying to separate Jamie from his family and steal his affection from his daughter. It was so terrible that she had to stop going to work. Even her boss had to call her in for questioning and he’d almost fired her, if not that she was a qualified and reliable employee and he couldn’t afford to lose her. Therefore, he’d given her a leave pending when the issue would be cleared.Seeing as it was affecting Cookie, Jamie decided to stay home with her just to make her feel better. It was the weekend and he was in his home office, on the phone with his manager, Aiden as they discussed different ways of handling the situation. After Cookie’s suggestion, he decided to take her advice.Cookie, who had also been on a call with Amelia, walked into the room, dressed in just one of Ja

The next day, Cookie and Jamie decided to pay Sylvia a visit at her place of work and to take her out for lunch just to thank her for her help. Along with Julia, they arrived at DCL and were directed to Sylvia’s office after her secretary informed her of their presence.They got in to see her seated behind her desk, relaxed against the plush leather seat with a wide satisfactory smile on her face. As soon as she saw them, she rose to her feet and beckoned Julia to go to her. The kid, who had always been familiar with Sylvia ran to her with a wide smile on her face and Sylvia hugged her dearly.She’d always loved the child even when she’d thought she was Ryan’s daughter. But now, knowing that the girl was her granddaughter filled her with happiness and warmth.“How are you sweetie?” she asked Julia, kissing her cheek and playfully ruffling her hair.“I’m fine, aunt Sylvia,” Julia responded happily, grinning from ear to ear.Sylvia’s heart skipped for a moment as she looked between Cook

After the whole wedding fiasco and after Selena was served her well-deserved judgement, Jamie and Cookie proceeded to their honeymoon, leaving Julia in the care of her mom, Gretchen. They were taking his private jet and he wouldn’t tell her their destination, even after the aircraft took off from Texas.“Please…” she pleaded, making soft puppy eyes at him but he chuckled, stealing a kiss from her pouty lips. “You can’t make me tell you, baby. It’s a surprise,” he winked at her before settling into his seat, while still caressing her arm that was resting on the armrest. She huffed at his response, rolling her eyes.“You’re simply impossible,”He grinned boyishly.“And you love me,”His response had her cheeks heating up and a smile threatening to slip into her face but she struggled to hold it back, although she couldn’t deny the truth that she was hopelessly in love with this man, her husband. She was still staring at him when she felt the sudden urge to throw up. At first, she thoug
