Thaddeus felt guilty toward Jessamine. When she was at death's door, he wasn't by her side. He couldn't be there when she gave birth to their two children either. He knew he was worthless, but in Xander's eyes, he wasn't just worthless. He was also a cancerous existence in Jessamine's life. If it weren't for this bastard, Jessamine wouldn't have suffered so much. Xander coldly stated, "When she gave birth to the two kids, the fetal position was abnormal, and the doctor recommended a c-section. "In addition to the previous injuries, another cut was made on her abdomen. When she first stood up after giving birth, Jessamine was shaking all over but forced herself to move as the doctor advised. "She was severely anemic after giving birth. When coupled with the serious injuries from the car accident, she didn't fully recover for several years. Her physical condition weakened a lot. She often experienced low blood sugar and sometimes fainted without symptoms." Xander let out all the

Jessamine felt like laughing a bit as she watched Thaddeus take shallow breaths. They had been together for three years, and Jessamine knew his every expression like the back of her hand. He seemed nonchalant, but Jessamine knew he was nervous.In just a few minutes, he had already touched his nose three times. He only did that when he was feeling uneasy on the inside.She glanced at her watch again. The time was exactly 11:45 am, and the announcement on the broadcast rang out. Jessamine looked up and said, "Layla should be coming out soon. Have you thought about what you're going to say to her?"She also had her own concerns, which is why she asked such a question. She hadn't told Layla in advance that her father was coming to pick her up from the airport. She didn't know if Layla would accept or reject him. Of course, Jessamine also hoped that both children could accept their father. There wasn't a mother who didn't hope for her children to live a fulfilled life. She hoped that

Layla nestled in Jessamine's arms for a while before she focused on observing the airport terminal, feeling like she had stepped into the Frozen fairy tale. She remembered the last time she came with Xander; it wasn't this beautiful.Layla's eyes curved as she smiled. "Mommy, Zenville is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than Hajera. Maybe we should live in Zenville?"Children are simple-minded; when they liked something, they said it bluntly without considering it much, unlike adults.Jessamine glanced at Thaddeus' hurt expression and whispered in Layla's ear, "Layla, Daddy decorated all of this. If you like it, our home can be like this too."Layla turned her head to look at the unfamiliar father again and asked Jessamine in a low voice, "Mommy, will Daddy live with us?"She hadn't decided whether to accept him yet; after all, she hadn't tested him. He only passed in appearance. She needed to discuss this with Lucas before making a decision.Layla's voice was not loud, but

Lucas was still afraid of Jessamine. When he heard Jessamine calling his full name downstairs, he couldn't help but feel nervous. But he was still feeling dissatisfied with Jessamine's actions, so he pouted and went downstairs.At this moment, Thaddeus had given up struggling under the control of the robot. He couldn't understand what kind of thing was pressing him down. It was even more effective than having a sheepdog; it could even substitute for a security guard at home.Jessamine was getting anxious. It was the first time she had formally invited him into her home, and such an incident happened. She was more worried about the future relationship between the father and son.Although Thaddeus wanted to be a father and spoil the children, he wasn't someone without principles. She feared that Lucas' rude behavior would undoubtedly invite reprimand in the future.What was important was that she didn't know what to do now or how to instruct the big lump to let go. If she accidentall

Layla took a bite of the small tiger-shaped bread and found it delicious. She then proceeded to eat the dishes in front of her, asking, "Mommy, are these dishes the ones you liked when you were in Zenville?"Before Jessamine could answer, Thaddeus used a pair of tongs to pick up a fried chicken wing and put it on Layla's plate, answering for Jessamine, "All the dishes on this table are ones your mommy used to like. "It's all thanks to Ms. Marshall's cooking. Your mommy used to only eat the dishes made by her. She even went to special cooking classes for it."Jessamine felt a bit embarrassed. Wasn't he indirectly calling her picky in front of the children? She usually taught the two not to be picky eaters, saying that being picky would stunt their growth. Now, she felt a bit embarrassed.Layla saw the extra chicken wing in her bowl, and raised her head, thanking Thaddeus with a childish voice. Even though she didn't use a title, Thaddeus still felt satisfied despite this.He saw L
