last update Last Updated: 2025-03-25 20:23:38

Esther and Jenna sat on the couch in the living room. Esther asked her what had happened during that time, and she told her only a few words lightly. But finally she said, "I got married..." After that she hung her head, not knowing how to explain and not knowing what Esther would think.

Esther said, "You're married? To whom? But those kids are my brother's kids, right?"

Jenna wanted to nod but didn't. Sean already had Charlotte, so she couldn't just nod her head. And even if Sean was still alone, she didn't know if he would accept the fact that Jenna had given birth to his child or not.

Ester saw that she didn't answer, so she didn't ask again. She was silent for a moment, then she remembered something: "By the way, what are their names?"

"My daughter's name is Olivia and the boy's is Oliver."

"What about the last name?"

Jenna was stunned for a moment, recalling distant memories. Her smile faded and she said awkwardly, "I'd like to bathe my children first."

"Go ahead, be my guest. Yo

    "Come to my apartment quickly," Esther said hurriedly."I have to see Taylor first.""He's here too.""Why is he in your apartment?" Sean sounded annoyed. Why was his assistant in his sister's apartment?Esther was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing. I suddenly felt like eating pizza, so I asked him to buy it for me."Sean took a deep breath, held back his anger and said: "Esther! What else do you know besides eating?"Esther quietly hung up and called Taylor, "My brother just got off the plane. Call him and tell him something important is going on and ask him to come to my apartment right away!"Taylor thought, "You're really annoying!" But she called Sean anyway and told him that something was going on and that he needed to come over right away to deal with it.Esther hung up and suddenly wanted to eat Jenna's omelet. She ran back in and said to Jenna, "Jenna, please make me an omelet. I have missed your omelet for years!"Jenna laughed and replied, "Okay. Then let's go

    "Mom..." Oliver comes over and asks Jenna. "Who is he?"Jenna came to, tears streaming down her cheeks. She wiped them away several times with her hands and looked at Sean, not knowing what to do.Esther was hiding outside the door, but suddenly she got a dangerous signal out of the corner of her eye, she pointed at the stove and said, "Fire, fire, fire..." If they didn't put the fire out, there would be a fire!Jenna turned around and immediately turned off the gas and pulled her children out. She didn't have time to ask Esther and said incoherently: "I'll go first! The food is ready, you can wrap it up and take it home!"Jenna didn't know where to go, so she walked around without direction and suddenly decided to go to Theresa's house.Esther saw her leaving and said to Sean, "You're not going after her?"Sean suddenly snapped out of his reverie and went out to follow her.Jenna was about to enter the elevator. Sean saw her enter the elevator with her daughter. He stood there for a

    Esther knocked on Sean's bedroom door, but there was no answer. Finding the door unlocked, she opened it, turned on the light and looked around, finally seeing Sean sitting silently on the floor under the sofa. He was holding a bottle of wine, taking a few sips and leaning back motionless.They were in the same hotel, but in different rooms."What are you doing?" Esther squatted down and picked up the wine, "Are you out of your mind? Why do you drink so much?"Sean said nothing and took the wine out of her hand. Esther refused to give it to him, hiding it behind her body and angrily asking, "Say something? What's wrong with you?!"Sean said angrily: "What do you want me to say? She's married! She has two kids! You've known that for a long time, haven't you?"Esther was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did she tell you?"Sean leaned back lazily and said sadly, "She said... she said she was married... why did she do that?""Didn't you ask more questions?" Ester tried to explain.

    "Go away.

I'll be there in half an hour."Taylor said, "It's almost noon.""Then why didn't you call me after lunch?" Sean was angry. After yelling, he suddenly looked at the numbers above the elevator section to see that he was already a few floors down. It was better for him to go first and see Jenna later, right?Sean had a bad headache. He went to the company lounge and slept for two hours, then got up to attend the meeting without lunch.Realizing that Sean would not be able to concentrate on running the company for a while, Taylor had no choice but to handle all company matters and speak at the meeting on behalf of his boss.The shareholders could no longer

    Jenna finally heard the whole story and cried uncontrollably. Who was to blame? She wanted to blame herself, but she felt wronged! Was fate playing a trick on her?Esther handed her a handkerchief: "Do you want me to call my brother?"Jenna was stunned for a moment and said with a sob, "No... wait until I'm done crying..."Just then the doorbell rang. Esther put down her handkerchief and went to open the door, and there was Sean. Esther turned and looked at Jenna, who had lowered her head, wiping away her tears, and had not yet looked up. She turned around, picked up her bag and left, then said to Sean, "I already told her about Charlotte, the rest is up to you."When Jenna heard this, she looked up to see Sean with tears streaming down his face. Sean slowly walked to her side, sat down and wiped her tears with his hand: "Charlotte and I...""I know..." Jenna cried. Considering that Sean hadn't seen his child born or grow up in the last few years, she felt very sorry for him. She rus

    Sean and Jenna hugged tightly and suddenly Sean's stomach churned.Jenna stepped back and Sean asked awkwardly, "Is there any food?""You haven't eaten yet?""Yes... I ...." Earlier he really had no appetite, and now it seemed that his appetite had returned."Wait a minute." Jenna took a knife, went to the kitchen, looked through the ingredients in the cupboard and cooked a bowl of noodles for him.Sean took his cell phone and Jenna's, keeping each other's numbers. He had a sudden urge to check the contents of Jenna's phone, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't dare move and put her phone on the table.Jenna put down the noodles and said, "You eat, I'll get my sweater, I'm a little cold."Seeing that Jenna was only wearing a thin nightgown, Sean inwardly blamed her: 'You... should have worn a sweater from the beginning,' he muttered to himself.Jenna smiled and went back to her room to put on a jacket.When Jenna came out, Sean, who was sitting in a chair, looked up and found J

    In the morning, the sun is warm and the air is crisp. Jenna was preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Olivia sat in the living room holding her stuffed dog, wiggling and singing. Jenna listened to her sing for a long time, and when her breakfast was ready, she called out, "Olivia, Oliver, it's time for breakfast!" "Yes, Mom." Olivia ran over immediately and Oliver followed her. Jenna touched her head happily and was about to go into the kitchen to get some water when she turned to see Sean coming out of the room. Her eyes widened: "Didn't I tell you not to come out?" Sean looked at her sadly, "I want to enjoy this happiness too, my son and daughter are so well-behaved and sweet! I want to hug them, kiss them and pinch their face." Jenna looked back, wanting to hide him before Olivia noticed. "Jenna..." Sean felt very hurt. Oliver turned his head at the sound of his voice and his eyes suddenly widened. "he..." "Ah..." Olivia screamed, throwing down the spoon in her ha

    "After dinner, I'll buy you something delicious, okay?" Olivia took a bite of her food and ignored him. "Do you want to buy toys too?" "Auntie already bought them." Olivia looked down and didn't look at him. Auntie? Esther? Sean furrowed his brow. 'Why did you steal my work?' he muttered to himself. He looked sadly at Jenna: 'Why didn't you let me meet these kids first?' Jenna sighed: "I haven't been shopping for a long time, let's go together after breakfast." "Okay." Sean said happily. After breakfast, Sean helped Jenna with the dishes while Olivia and Oliver looked into the living room, a little curious and a little scared. Thinking about how much their friend's father loved his son, they also wondered if their father would love them that much, so they were a little hopeful about getting close to him. Jenna came out and patted their little noses: "What's going on? Daddy's doing the dishes. Look how pretty he is." Olivia and Ester looked back at noon. It was true

    “Emily! She’s in the hospital!” Valeria gasped, her voice cracking. Her face went pale, and panic clouded her eyes. Ben froze for a second before grabbing her arm. “Let’s go,” he said firmly, pulling her toward the elevator. “Sorry, this is urgent. I’ll make it up to you another time. We have to go,” he told Esther and Carter over his shoulder. “It’s fine, go,” they said in unison, both stepping aside. Valeria’s fingers trembled as she jabbed the elevator button. When the doors slid open, they stepped inside. Just before they closed again, Valeria caught sight of Sean at the end of the hallway. His expression was unreadable—confused, maybe concerned. Only a second passed before the elevator doors sealed shut, cutting her off from him. A few minutes later, Valeria sat in the passenger seat of Ben’s car. Her hands fidgeted in her lap, heart pounding too hard for her to breathe right. It was a cold night. Ben glanced at her, trying to offer a sense of calm. “She’s going to be okay

    “Hey!” Valeria greeted the handsome man in front of her with a friendly smile. He looked frozen. His eyes were on her, but his mind was clearly somewhere else. There was something in his gaze a mix of worry and fear that made Valeria uneasy. “What’s going on with you?” Valeria asked. “Jenna…” another man walked up and called out to her. Why does everyone keep calling me that? Valeria thought, frustrated. She let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes. “Sorry, but I’m Valeria, not Jenna,” she said sharply. “Who even is this Jenna, anyway?” Her head was starting to ache. She pressed her temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain that was starting to dig in. “Hey, it’s okay…” Ben whispered softly, his voice calm and soothing. His warm hand wrapped around her shoulder. “Take a deep breath, alright?” Valeria closed her eyes, trying to follow his instruction. She could feel the softness of the couch beneath her, the only stable thing in the middle of her emotional chaos. “Okay, sorry.

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 118. Getting More Confusing

    Jenna looked so innocent and beautiful that night. Her purple dress hugged her body gracefully, making her look like a teenager who had wandered into an adult party. Sean couldn’t take his eyes off her. He stood beside his mother, who was deep in conversation with an old friend, but he wasn’t paying attention at all. His eyes were fixed solely on Jenna. His jaw clenched when he saw a man's hand around Jenna’s waist. Without realizing it, his fists balled up. The urge to walk over and yank that hand away was strong, but he held back and just took a deep breath. When the hand finally dropped away, he exhaled too. A faint smile returned to his face. “What’s wrong?” Mrs. Veronica’s voice snapped him out of it. He quickly turned to her, trying to fix his expression. “Nothing!” he said quickly, not even sure what she was asking about. Mrs. Veronica raised an eyebrow, suspicious. But before she could press him further, Sean mumbled an apology and walked off toward the minibar. Away fro

    Valeria muttered under her breath as another taxi zoomed past without even slowing down. “I seriously need to buy a car.” She’d been standing there for almost an hour, yet not a single empty cab had stopped.The cold breeze made her shiver. She hugged herself, regretting not wearing a sweater or something warmer. Her simple purple dress with black floral patterns looked cute, sure—but it was definitely not made for weather like this.“Maybe I shouldn’t have come at all,” she mumbled, staring down the empty street in frustration.She let out a long sigh. The baby shower still had to be attended, even if Ben had said she didn’t need to. Emily said the dress looked great on her, and Valeria couldn’t resist the idea of seeing that adorable little baby again.Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her. She flinched, heart nearly leaping out of her chest.“Ben?” she gasped, placing a hand over her heart. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”Ben rolled down the window. “You need a ride, o

    “Bye, kids!” Valeria called out, waving at them as they ran toward the school gate. They paused to wave back before continuing on. Once they were safely inside, Ben started the car and they headed toward the café. “You know, you don’t have to do this every day. I can get my own car,” Valeria said, staring out the window, fully aware of Ben glancing her way as they stopped at a red light. “So I’m supposed to risk losing you again? No thanks,” Ben replied as the light turned green and they drove on. This time, Valeria turned to look at him. “Come on, Ben. That happened months ago. I’m fine now, totally capable of driving myself. You can’t babysit me forever, you know?” she added, turning her gaze back outside. “I can, and I will,” Ben said firmly. The rest of the ride was quiet. When they reached the café, Valeria got out without saying a word and headed straight inside. He didn’t seriously expect her to never drive again, right? She let out a deep sigh, dropped her bag behind t

    Ben walked up to her, smiling. She smiled back until she bumped into someone. She looked down and found the same little boy from the cafe. “Oh, it’s you!” she said, crouching. “Mom?” Oliver said with a big smile. The word made Valeria uncomfortable, and she glanced at everyone—especially Alexa. Alexa was right there, so why was the kid calling her “mom”? “Oh! You live here?” Valeria asked. The boy grinned, his missing front teeth making him look even cuter. “I went to Colorado with my dad,” he said simply. Valeria’s eyes moved to the little girl next to him. “And this?” “I’m Oliver,” the boy said with a proud smile. “And this is my sister, Olivia.” Valeria chuckled, remembering how adorable Emily and Ethan could be. “You can call me Val,” she told them. Oliver’s eyes shifted to Ben, who was standing beside her. “This is Ben,” Valeria added. Ben crouched beside her with a mock scowl. “Hey, bro,” he said, then winked at Valeria, making her heart race.

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 114. The Woman Who Looks Like Her

    A woman walked, pulling her jacket tighter around her small frame as the cold wind hit her. The click of her boots on the floor was the only sound echoing through the space. She still couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out Jenna was alive. A year ago, she had felt so relieved, thinking she’d finally gotten rid of her. But now the girl was back— that annoying little thing who once clung to their lives like a parasite. The woman turned sharply left and stepped into a dark alley. The path was narrow barely enough for one person to walk through without brushing against the brick walls on both sides. The alley was long and pitch black, forcing her to squint and step carefully. Part of her grumbled at how she couldn’t see a thing, but another part was glad the darkness was hiding whatever creepy crawlies were on those walls. She shivered and almost screamed when something scurried across her $26,000 boots. A flickering bulb at the end of the alley gave her a target, and she ran to

    Valeria walked into her apartment, struggling to carry Emily and Ethan who were fast asleep in her arms. "Thanks so much, Mrs. Smith," she said with a grateful smile to her neighbor, a woman in her mid-fifties who lived alone. "It's no problem, dear. You look a little busy," Mrs. Smith said, nodding toward the two kids. Valeria chuckled softly and nodded. "Good night, sweetie. If you need anything, just knock. I'm only a few steps away," Mrs. Smith added with a wink before heading back to her place. That was just the kind of woman. Mrs. Smith was the type who’d open the door with a baseball bat raised high, day or night, always cautious. But deep down, she was the kindest, most caring soul. Valeria smiled, remembering the night Mrs. Smith almost whacked Ben with her bat because Valeria had been late answering the door after a shower, and forgetful Ben had left his keys. Mrs. Smith thought he was a thief. Carefully, Valeria tucked Emily and Ethan into their beds. "Good

    When she opened her eyes, she found Ben leaning against the balcony wall, arms crossed, smiling at her so softly it made her blush. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Ben chuckled, walked over, and gently lifted her chin, kissing the tip of her nose. "Because you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen... after those two little monsters," he teased just as Emily and Ethan’s voices called out his name. Ben groaned while Valeria tried not to laugh. Ever since Ben had confessed his feelings, he never missed a chance to shower Valeria with affection. They spent the morning playing, filling the apartment with laughter that felt like music to Valeria’s ears. "Alright, kids, time to brush your teeth," she said, herding them away as she carried dirty plates to the kitchen. As she started prepping food for the kids, Ben leaned casually against the counter. "Who was on the phone?" Valeria asked. "Mr. Anderson. He invited us to dinner with hi
