Chapter 263

Author: Little Happiness
I swallowed my irritation, tied an apron around myself, and began preparing the ingredients.

Daphne tiptoed to peer over the counter, her nose almost pressing against the mixing bowl. "Ms. York, can I crack an egg with you?"

Her eyes were wide and bright, like a little kitten waiting to be fed. I placed an egg into her palm, took another one myself, and let her follow along.

She learned quickly. After cracking just two eggs, she looked like she had done it many times before.

At that, Timothy lifted his phone and pointed the camera at us. I frowned. "What are you doing?"

His voice was calm as he said, "I'm just recording moments in Daphne's childhood. She can watch it when she grows up."

That kind of affection never appeared in Timothy's eyes on a normal day; he only ever showed a hint of warmth when he looked at Daphne.

A bitter thought flashed across my mind. He treasured his daughter so much, yet I had to endure the pain of being separated from my own child.

Just then, Daphne

    I stared at Christine, feeling a pang of sadness. I knew she had family, but they did not care for her.Clarissa frowned. "Even if you're willing, there is no way one person could handle such a huge assignment."I thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Wagner, I'll go with Christine."She looked at me in disbelief. After all, I was still on probation. Normally, I wouldn't even be considered for this assignment. Until now, she hadn't even thought of including me at all.Now that I volunteered, her eyes glistened. "Josie, are you sure? If you go, I will make you a full-time staff member when you return."Given the urgency of the situation, we needed firsthand information. Once the team was confirmed, Christine and I went home separately to pack for the disaster zone.At home, I turned on the television and watched the news while packing a few essentials. Even from the aerial footage, the destruction was shocking.Just then, my phone rang. It was Timothy. I answered, and his calm voic

    I never expected Jonathan to become so unreasonable. He had always been impulsive and sometimes rebellious. Yet, he had always been devoted to his family. He never acted in open defiance.He left us behind and went straight upstairs. Mom felt like the sky had collapsed around her. "How could this happen? Yasmin is utterly despicable. If Jonathan really has anything to do with her, what are we going to do?"Dad paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately. "From today onward, I'll watch his every move. If he dares to get involved with Yasmin in any way, he'll no longer be my son."Mom broke down, unable to accept the change in Jonathan. I spent a long time comforting them, and it wasn't until almost time for work that I finally left the York residence.On the way, the sky turned dark. Thick black clouds piled up in a strange, ominous pattern. Expecting a heavy rainstorm, I stepped on the accelerator.Suddenly, the steering wheel shook violently in my hands. The dashboard needles wave

    It turned out that Jonathan had already been released on bail and had returned home last night. Mom said, "It was too late yesterday. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't mention it.""As long as he's home, that's what matters," I said. Fortunately, Timothy didn't take the conflict between us out on the York family this time.Mom hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Why don't you and Timothy come home for lunch? He let Jonathan off this time, and I want to thank him.""He almost ruined the York family. What is there to thank him for? Besides, I'm about to divorce him. I won't be bringing him back to the York residence anymore. If there's any business to discuss, you and Dad can invite him yourselves." I was no longer hiding anything from my parents.Mom sighed, her voice heavy with regret. "Will you come? I was too harsh last time. The more I think about it, the more sorry I feel for you."I had something to discuss with Jonathan anyway, so I agreed. "Alright. I'll c

    The last few words Daphne spoke cut through me like shards of ice. Looking at Daphne's flushed, angry little face, I felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet. Just how many twisted ideas had Yasmin planted in her mind?I took a deep breath and forced down the emotions rising in me. I spoke slowly, each word deliberate. "Daphne, Yasmin is not your mother.""You're lying!" she screamed. Then, she suddenly started crying, her shrill wails sharp enough to shake the room.Before I could react, the door burst open. Timothy rushed in, his eyebrows tightly knit. The next moment, he shoved me aside and lifted Daphne into his arms. I lost my balance and slammed my elbow against the table, pain shooting through me.He didn't spare me a glance. Instead, he asked Daphne with concern, "Tell me what happened."Daphne cried as if her heart was breaking. "Daddy! Ms. York pulled my hair. It really hurt!"Timothy's gaze instantly turned cold and sharp as he glared at me. I couldn't believe that

    After I dropped Ruby off, I headed back home.On the way, my phone rang. To my surprise, it was Daphne calling me on her phone. I felt excited, but also a little surprised since she usually kept her distance from me and sometimes even avoided me. Why was she calling me out of the blue?She shyly said, "The braid you did for me last time was pretty. I have a performance at kindergarten tomorrow. Can you braid my hair again? Daddy said you're not coming home tonight. Is that true?"I paused for a moment. This was such a rare chance to connect with her that I immediately said, "I'll be back later. If you're tired, go to sleep. I'll braid your hair beautifully tomorrow morning.""Thank you," she said softly, almost like she was not used to saying it.By the time I returned to the Grant residence, Daphne was already asleep.Timothy was sitting in the living room. His dark, brooding eyes fixed on me. "If you really want to get closer to Daphne, then do it on your own. Stop leaning on R

    By the time dinner wrapped up, it was nearly 9:00 pm.We had just stepped out of the hotel when we ran into Timothy and Yasmin, who were also on their way out. They were greeting a few people who seemed to be part of the "Marital Hearts" production team. I recognized one of the directors, a well-known figure in the industry.Yasmin was smiling sweetly at Timothy, saying something I couldn't hear. But the moment they noticed us standing beside Ryan, they froze.Yasmin looked confused. "Ryan, why are you with them? Didn't you say you had something going on tonight and couldn't make it?"Ryan looked slightly awkward. "Yeah. I'd already made plans with Judith."Judith was a famous producer in the industry and knew all the tricks people played. It was clear that she had no respect for Yasmin. She didn't even look at her and simply said to us, "I'm heading back. I'll file the agreement at the office tonight.""Agreement? What agreement?" Yasmin instinctively asked.Ruby replied with a
