LOGINJack, Isabella and Daisy sat in the adoption agency’s reception, their faces tensed with impatience as they waited for the manager to arrive. Jack frequently glanced at the clock, letting out deep sighs and shaking his head with his jaw clenched, his growing frustration evident. After what felt like eternity, the entrance door swung open and the trio’s eyes darted toward it, their eyes blazing with anticipation. The manager, Mrs. Morris walked in, her heels clicking softly on the tiles. She paused upon seeing Daisy, but her eyes widened in shock as they landed on Jack. “Mr. Mason,” her voice laced with surprise, extending her hand for a handshake. “Yes I am,” Jack replied, accepting the handshake. Mrs. Morris turned to Daisy, her face still etched with shock. “You came with Mr. Mason?” “Yes, and his wife,” Daisy gestured to Isabella, who stood up and greeted Mrs. Morris with a warm smile. “About the case you discussed with me?” Mrs. Morris’ eyes narrowed slightly, darting from
“This is the result, ma’am,” The scientist said with a warm smile, handing the envelope to Isabella, who took it with a trembling hand. “Thank you,” she whispered and gently placed the envelope in her bag, stood up and walked out of the hospital with Jack following closely behind her. “Can we check it now?” Jack asked once they were settled in the car. “No,” Isabella whispered, her gaze fixed on the road. “I’ll check it when we get home.”Jack kept silent, his patience wearing thin as they drove home. Immediately they entered into their bedroom, Isabella brought out the envelope, shut her eyes tight, and took a deep breath before proceeding to tear the envelope open. Her hands trembled as she pulled out the result. With teary eyes, she glanced through it and her eyes widened with shock and excitement when she saw the result was 99.9% positive. “Oh my goodness,” Isabella breathed, her hand trembling so hard that the paper slipped off from her fingers. Jack quickly picked it up an
“Drive to the family hospital,” Jack instructed his chauffeur, but Isabella quickly interjected. “No, Jack no,” her voice trembled as she wagged a finger.“No, what? Aren't you going to do the DNA test again,” Jack's voice rose, his anger palpable. “I want us to change the hospital, I don't…..want the family hospital, ” Isabella’s eyes brimmed with tears as she pleaded. Jack let out a frustrating hiss and clenched his teeth in fury. “Sam, drive to any nearby hospital,” his voice came out reluctant and filled with anger. Isabella could feel the tension in the car, making her heart pound in anxiety. Jack's silence was unnerving and knowing she'd be in trouble if the DNA result proves negative made her fear intensified. The chauffeur pulled into a big hospital and the car doors were immediately opened for Jack and Isabella. Jack's face remained frown while Isabella’s anxiety was etched on her face as they walked into the hospital. After making their purpose known to the receptionist
“Sweetheart,” Jack called, tapping her shoulder, making her flinch. “Who are you looking at?” He asked, his gaze searching where Isabella’s gaze was fixed.“It's nothing, I’m just admiring the baby girl,” Isabella said, pointing towards Maya, but Aima had already turned her face, so Jack could only see the baby's back. “You did well today,” Jack praised as he playfully poked her ribs. “We're outside,” Isabella reminded him, covering her mouth to stifle her laugh. The awards ceremony continued, but Isabella’s gaze kept drifting back to Aima and Maya. She had the urge to call Daisy and asked about the investigation progress, but knowing it was too early for that, she resisted the urge.“We can leave now,” Jack whispered, gently helping her up. Isabella felt like not going, she really wanted to go and hold Maya, but was scared of what Jack would think of her again. As they walked out of the ballroom, reporters swarmed around them with microphones and cameras to interview them. “Go
“Darling, we have somewhere to go this morning,” Jack announced as he strode to his wardrobe, searching for an outfit. Isabella sat up in bed, confusion etched on her face. “Where? You didn't tell me we’d be going out today.”Jack, already putting off his nightwear, replied. “Yes, I forgot about it. My PA just reminded me this morning and we’re running late already. Please, get up and start getting ready” “But where are we going?”“The business Awards ceremony,” Jack called out as he rushed into the bathroom. I'll be presenting some awards, and I need you to be there with me.” Isabella sluggishly rose from the bed, yawning. She didn't feel like going anywhere but since she’d promised to make it up to Jack for leaving him at home alone on Valentine's Day, she had no choice. She moved to her wardrobe and began searching for a dress that would fit the occasion. Her gaze landed on the black ankle length gown with touches of red, a gift from Jade on her last birthday. She gently pulle
“This woman,” Daisy unconsciously blurted out. Isabella’s curious gaze snapped her back to the moment. Realizing her slip up, she quickly forced a smile and gently placed a hand on Isabella’s shoulder. “Isabella, please go home. I’ll get back to you,” she reassured. “I’m thinking we should carry out a DNA test on the baby and….” “Isabella,” Daisy cut her off gently. “Even if we decide to carry out a DNA test and it proves that the baby is yours, we still need to find out who the culprit is and why the baby was stolen.” Isabella reluctantly nodded, grabbing her bag. “Please, don't let my husband or his brother know about this,” she pleaded. “I’m keeping it as our secret,” Daisy replied with a reassuring smile. “Don't forget to contact me,” Isabella whispered, wiping away her tears as she turned to leave. After Isabella left Daisy’s office, Daisy’s mind kept reeling with thoughts of her mother being the culprit. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she cou
