CHAPTER 45 Lexie couldn’t stand it anymore and took refuge with her father. Her father sheltered her. The child asked him many questions. Especially about his work. Even though she asked her father again and again with same questions. The father never runs out of answers, even if he repeats the answer over and over again. Grace was in the kitchen and let father and daughter bond in the living room. She first helps the maid to prepare dinner for the family. The housemaid will prepare for dinner at five in the afternoon and at seven in the evening the family take dinner together. Jefferson’s mother came down from her room. “Hello to our baby girl!” she greeted young Lexie enthusiastically. “I didn’t see you today. I miss my super naughty and super beautiful granddaughter.” Jefferson’s mother praised enthusiastically. “Grandma, I miss you.” The child enthusiastically greeted the grandmother while getting down from her father’s shelter and ran up to the grandmother on the stairs a
CHAPTER 46“Have you been working for a long time on this family, Marie?” Grace asked Marie while she was washing the utensils used for cooking.Marie was busy mixing the pasta she had cooked. Grace has no idea about their food so she just helps Marie with the dishes.“It’s been quite a while. The pay is good and the family is kind so it’s a shame I’m leaving. My work here is not heavy.” Marie answered.“They still treat me like family here. It’s hard to find a job as a maid these days, Grace.” she answered.“Well, you’re right, Marie. It’s hard to find. It is difficult to apply for admission. It’s good that I was able to work in the family as well. Lexie is a kind child, sir and his family are also kind.” Grace said.“By the way, I can’t seem to see Sir’s wife? Is he a single father or separated?” she asked Marie in a whisper.“I’m not sure what’s really going on, but I’m hearing a conversation that seems like Sir Jefferson and Ma’am Sandra are separated. That’s all I heard. I heard
CHAPTER 47 Grace held the child’s hand and they went straight up to the bedroom to bathe her and dress her in pajamas again. Marie also came out of the kitchen and looked at the table to see if the family had finished eating. She found Jenny there who was still sitting but was just on her cell phone. “Excuse me Jen. Can I get the food?” she asked the girl. “Yes.” Jenny gave a short answer. She stood up and helped Marie get out. Marie didn’t complain because it was Jenny’s doing to help her with the work when she was at home and she wasn’t busy. She is not even the one cleaning the girl’s room. She voluntarily cleans her room on her day off. She only cleans her mother’s room and Jefferson’s room before until the father and daughter move here. There are two guest rooms downstairs but Jefferson doesn’t want to use one of the guest rooms. It prefers to sleep in the living room. His mother did not Insist on what her son wanted.

CHAPTER 48“Sis, think about the job offer I said. We can hire someone to look after mommy.” Jefferson encourage again to his sister .“I’m sure you’ll like it on the ship. The work is not difficult. And you will enjoy it a lot because there will be passengers to talk to. There are also fellow employees you can talk to.” Jefferson again.“It’s like a hard job, bro. A few months in the middle of the sea. What if there is a disaster and the ship sails to where there are a lot of sharks. My life will end immediately.” Jenny said to her brother.“What do you really think, sis? Did you hear any news that there was an accident or that the ship sank and the sharks ate the passengers?” Jefferson contradicted what she said.“ I don’t know if that will happen. And one more thing bro, won’t the passenger come first when accidents happen? Aren’t those the rules?” she asked her brother.“How can I save a passenger even if I don’t know if I can save without an extra life preserver.” Jenny again.“I
CHAPTER 49Jenny felt sorry for Jefferson, but she didn’t want to agree to him wanting to help him see Anne and talk to her. She’s also thinking also of Anne's feelings too.That’s what Anne wanted to happen the last time they met and talked. That day she even convinced Anne to get back with her brother. And she told everything to Anne.But Anne’s heart is hard to get back with Jefferson. She also said that she can forgive Jefferson but she doesn’t know if she will get back with him or not. It says that they should not force themselves.And she also said not to tell Jefferson that they met and talked. That she already knows about them and Sandra.She was not even happy to hear that he was divorcing his wife. Jenny even saw pity in Anne’s eyes that time.Fortunately, their mother chose not to dwell on the coincidence of her and Anne meeting.And Jenny knows where Anne works.

CHAPTER 50Jefferson woke up early because he was going to report to the office that day. He must finish his papers so he can return to the ship. He is used to working so sometimes he gets bored. He is more distracted from work when he is on the ship.That’s Jenny came also. She also goes down early. It’s seven o’clock in the morning. Sometimes it is already eight o’clock when she goes down. Because she goes to work at nine thirty in the morning .“Are you leaving bro?” she asked her brother when she caught him having breakfast.She also sat across from where her brother was sitting to have breakfast as well.“Oh. I will leave early. I’m going to the office. I hope my papers are finished and I can go back to work.” He replied to his sister.“Is mommy still asleep?” Jenny asked.“That’s awake. Just lying down. She said she will come down later. Wait for Lexie to wake up. I don’t know what time those two slept last night.” He said to Jenny.“I didn’t look at them when we went up last ni
CHAPTER 51 Sandra is the only daughter of Kyla Myer and Andrew Myer. Both her parents are in politics. Sandra’s father is the mayor of the included city. Her mother is a vice mayor of that city. The Myer family is known for their social standing and the good projects he has done in their city. He also became the mayor of their area for a long time because of his good dedication to his duties in the town. That’s why her parents refuse Christian to be their daughter's boyfriend because they don’t want their daughter to suffer at the hands of a man. It's not because Christian’s family is poor, but because her parents don’t see Christian’s effort to find a good job. He has changed jobs several times. And another is that it is very dependent on his parents. They feel sorry for the future of their only daughter. They don’t want her to suffer. Admitted that they say something in life but they also need to see the two working hard in life. And not depending on them or both of their par
CHAPTER 52 She misses her daughter so much. Even though she didn’t want to be away from her own daughter, Sandra put up with it. For the sake of this and the future of the child. She is afraid that her real father will disturb them again. But she knows that with Jefferson’s power, Lexie’s life will improve and she is ashamed to raise her child with lies. She knows that Lexie will grow a kind and responsible girl in the company of a recognized father. Even though her parents always objected that Lexie was in the care of Jefferson who should have been with her as her mother who has greater rights to the child, she did not agree with them. Because they don’t know the whole story. And maybe she won’t be the only one who will be rejected when they find out about the lies he did and it will be a shame but also her daughter. And she doesn’t want that to happen to Lexie. She will do everything for the good of her daughter. At first, Jefferson didn’t want to accept that Lexie would be wi
