Sean looked at Jenna and felt that she had never been so beautiful. Suddenly he couldn't help himself. He wrapped his arms around Jenna's waist, leaned down and kissed her, biting her lip and kissing her hard. Jenna's eyes widened and for a moment she was unable to react. Sean didn't really want to show affection in front of children and strangers, so he let go after a few seconds. Jenna was stunned for a moment and looked at him. He smiled awkwardly, licked his lips and said, "Let's go out dressed like this. I'll pay the bill." Jenna nodded, biting her lip slightly as her heart raced. How strange. How could she still be in love after all this time? A family of four walked out of the store, making people stare as they left. As they walked, passersby turned to them and said, "So handsome!" "Is he a model?" "Are his children twins? They're so cute." Jenna thought they had been out too long and said she wanted to go home, but Sean wanted to walk around for a while so eve
Sean, Jenna and the kids finally returned to New York. At first, Sean didn't want to bring Jenna back to his house, preferring to hide her and the kids somewhere else for a while, but unexpectedly, Sean's grandfather, who actually hardly ever interfered with anything that happened in the Anderson family, suddenly called and told him to bring Jenna to the Anderson family residence. Jenna was obviously not ready, but there was nothing she could do to refuse. When Jenna arrived at the Anderson residence, she expected rejection and abuse, but Sean's Grandpa was kind and welcomed her warmly. Jenna didn't want to be too happy, so she was just polite, and after they talked, she stood up and said, "It was nice to meet you, sir, but I'm afraid I have to go home. The kids are waiting for me at home." Jenna didn't dare bring her children into that house for fear they would be treated unpleasantly, so she decided to hold off on introducing her children to Sean's family. Coming down t
After trying to sleep, Sean actually fell asleep for a while, but he woke up again not long after, and now he missed Jenna's song. So he ran over and lay down next to Jenna.Jenna, who was already asleep, finally woke up and said sleepily, "Oh, I'm sorry. I fell asleep.""That's okay. I just wanted to give you a hug anyway." Sean whispered.Jenna nodded. "It's too small in here. Let's go into the next room."Sean nodded happily, then they went into the next room, and the oeia immediately hugged Jenna and immediately fell asleep. * Around seven in the morning, Oliver woke up to find Jenna no longer beside him. Since it was already dawn, he wasn't scared anymore because he thought Jenna was awake and his sister was still sleeping next to him.The little boy woke up and checked his blanket and Pampers and found that he hadn't wet the bed. It seemed that she had actually stopped wetting the bed because she hadn't peed in her pants in a week.She got out of bed happily and noticed that th
Even though she didn't want to argue with a child, and even though she wanted to use this opportunity to win her daughter's heart...but! Never spoil a child when it comes to picky eating, or Jenna will beat her up too. How could she dare to go against Jenna? There were still important things to do today, so she couldn't provoke a fight now."Olivia, be a good girl and listen to your mother," she said softly.Olivia turned her face away in dissatisfaction, then lowered her head to eat her food as well.Sean felt a little sorry. He couldn't please his wife and daughter at the same time. It was like a big business competition, and he had to sacrifice one of the best projects to get another.After dinner, Jenna went to take a shower, and as soon as she entered the bathroom and heard the sound of water, Sean immediately convinced the kids: "Let's watch some TV, okay?""Mommy's going to scold me," Olivia said."No, Mommy will watch it with us."Sean didn't have to try very hard to get the t
As they were in the middle of an erotic scene, Jenna said, "I really don't want to spoil the mood. But... where are the kids?""Watching TV." Sean was sweating but still clinging to her, leaning down and kissing her hair and cheeks."They'll be looking for us, can't we just do it later? Didn't we do it yesterday?" Jenna pleaded."You owe me over three years. How can one time be enough?""I'll pay you later." Jenna leaned against his chest and pleaded, "The child will also notice and come looking for us when he realizes we've been missing for too long.""Alright..." Sean stood up and said as he cleaned himself, "I'm going to take a shower first.""Okay..." Jenna smiled and buried her face in the pillow. This kind of crazy adult atmosphere really made it hard for her to lift her head.Sean smiled, leaned over and kissed her shoulder, then opened the window and went to take a shower. After showering, he put on his pajamas. He was a little depressed about not being able to touch his lover
"We'll have lunch together," Sean whispered after kissing her. "Maybe I'll eat with Esther," she said. "You work hard. I have too little money in my account, so if you want me to marry you, find more.""How much do you need?" Sean raised his chin arrogantly.Jenna laughed and puffed out her chest. "Just kidding. Go to work, my future husband."Sean blushed. Future husband? That means he accepted her proposal, right?After Sean leaves, Esther takes Olivia in her arms and says to Jenna, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere! I can't wait!"Jenna was confused: "Where are you going?""A secret." Esther smiled mysteriously, "I want to surprise you.""You always surprise me." Jenna said as she took Oliver by the hand and walked out.Esther drove them to a shopping mall, then went to the second floor and entered a very large clothing store. Judging by the decor, it seemed to be a high-end brand.The saleswoman noticed the customer's arrival and rushed over to greet her, walking over and saying,
Esther introduces Jenna to the two lead designers. The two designers are very cold and don't talk much. After greeting each other, they went right back to work.Esther said, "Aren't you also good at designing clothes? Would you like to work with me?"Jenna was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant and said helplessly, "It's just my hobby. I can design clothes, but I'm not sure it would be to the taste of the high-end market.""You're too modest!" Esther waved her hand, "Your talent is amazing, sister-in-law!" she said. "But you don't need to bother working, skh."Jenna blushed. She wasn't used to the nickname. After a while she asked, "What do you think I should do in the future?""Do what?"Jenna put her hand on the table and twisted the ring on her finger.Esther looked at it and said with a smile, "What else do you have to do? You're already wearing my sister's ring, so of course you should marry my sister and then take care of the family!"Jenna sighed, "How boring.
Olivia and Oliver refused to stay at Esther's and went home with their mother.Sean originally wanted to ask Jenna to dinner at the business meeting, but since Jenna needed time to mentally prepare, he declined. It was too sudden.The dinner ended very late, and although Sean left early, it was ten o'clock at night when he got home. Jenna and her son were asleep. After his shower, he lay down behind Jenna, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.Jenna woke up and smelled the fresh scent of soap and a hint of alcohol. She asked, "What time is it?"Sean didn't answer, but hugged her tighter and said sadly, "Wife, I almost got myself into trouble..."Wife? Jenna was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. She turned her head sharply and said, "What's wrong?!"Her tone was slightly fierce, which strangely pleased Sean. She smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish: "Don't worry dear, it was just an accident, I won't let you down..."Jenna felt that Sean
“Stop zoning out on me, Val!” Sean said, noticing Valeria had spaced out. “Are you okay?” he asked, a confused look on his face. There was a hint of concern in his eyes. Valeria frowned. “Yeah,” she said, lifting her chin. Sean gave a small chuckle and shook his head. “Where do you live?” he asked again. “I don’t give my address to strangers,” Valeria shot back quickly. “But you know me,” he said casually. “No, I don’t. I just know your name—and knowing someone’s name doesn’t mean I know them,” she replied sharply. Sean’s smile froze for a second, but then it returned. “Fair enough. So… why don’t we get to know each other?” Valeria raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious. “And why would I want that?” she asked, arms crossed over her chest. “You know you want to,” he replied with a smug grin—the kind that made Valeria roll her eyes. Men and their cocky smiles. “I know exactly what I want,” Valeria said firmly. “Exactly. That’s what I’m saying,” Sean replied, still looking enti
“It was my fault,” Ethan said softly. Valeria’s heart cracked hearing his trembling voice, but she knew she had to let him speak before jumping in to comfort him. “Why do you think that?” she asked gently, stroking his head as he sat curled up, knees pulled to his chest. The boy looked up at her, eyes glassy with tears. “I took her favorite doll and ran. She started chasing after me, yelling for me to give it back. I didn’t stop, and then she tripped and fell,” Ethan explained, lips quivering. Valeria cupped his small face and brushed his tears away with her thumb. “Sweetheart, it wasn’t your fault,” she said softly. She didn’t correct his grammar—this wasn’t the time. “You were just playing with your sister, and that’s okay. But now you know, right? You need to be a bit more careful next time.” Ethan gave a small nod. Valeria smiled and kissed his forehead. “You’re her big brother. It’s in your nature to protect and look out for her. But that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to
“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.
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. Ben chuck
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
