"So, you were actually in one of the villas on the Green Valley, six years ago? Is that you?" asked Carlos, confirming his suspicions. He saw how Josephine's posture turned tense when she heard his question, and so did Nicholas, even he was pretending not to understand what was going on. "No, no, I mean, how could you ask something like that of me?" asked Josephine quickly. She felt goosebumps all over her body and felt cold. Why did such a question come out of Carlos's mouth. Was he the man she slept with in the villa six years ago? Is Carlos the father of the triplets? The various questions that were going through Josephine's mind made her nervous. She didn't know how to react to this sudden thing now and in front of Nicholas. "I've never been to any villas, in Green, White, or Blue Valley," added Josephine flatly. "You mistook me for someone else."Carlos turned his gaze to Nicholas and caught an astonished reaction in the corner of his cousin's eye. Six years ago, one early
Josephine slowed down after arriving at the first floor of the mall. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat and her back was wet as well. Nicholas' sharp gaze and Carlos' curious gaze made Josephine feel awry and uncomfortable. One thing that crossed Josephine's mind at that time was that Carlos should not recognize and reveal her identity as the woman he slept with at the villa six years ago. It would make her feel awkward and embarrassed, especially in front of Nicholas.What happened at that time was a big accident which later changed Josephine's life completely. However, the most difficult part for Josephine was that she had no memories of the man she slept with and implanted the seeds of her three children in Josephine's womb.At first glance, Josephine caught the odd look Nicholas was giving her and she shivered again.She was worried about how to face Nicholas later when she started working as the man's personal nurse, besides how to deal with Carlos, since it seemed that he a
Lindsay felt her legs suddenly weak and she felt dizzy. There was no way it was Josephine, standing in the crowd of onlookers, glaring at her with a sharp and sinister smile.Lindsay rubbed her eyes, completely unable to believe her own eyes. What was she doing here, after six years of disappearance without being heard from?Lindsay touched the arm of a committee member. "I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well and I don't think I can continue to participate in this event," Lindsay said matter-of-factly.The staf surprised. "But Ms. Jade, the show just started and you've only performed one song. I'm supposed to--""I'm not feeling well and if I get sick trying to perform, will you guys be able to afford my hospital bills? " Lindsay snapped. "The cost of my hospital if I get sick and need treatment, it could be ten times greater than the fee I receive to perform three songs here."Without waiting for an answer, Lindsay went straight backstage. She changed into a casual dress from her prett
Josephine couldn't sleep. What happened this afternoon really bothered her. Carlos's questions and words were always ringing in her ears."Mommy, shh... Mommy," Flower whispered, tugging at Josephine's pajama sleeve.With raised eyebrows, Josephine turned her head. "Hey, little girl, why aren't you sleeping yet?" whispered Josephine while stroking Flower's hair."Mommy, are you thinking about Uncle Nicholas?" whispered Flower with a seductive smile. "Are you starting to get attracted to him?""Hush, don't mention him again," Josephine said. "Sleep, honey, you need to rest."Flower held Josephine's hand. "Mommy, I'm sorry I messed up this afternoon and got you involved with Uncle Nicholas. I had no idea those car badges were so expensive and you had to work for him for it."Josephine kissed Flower's hand and stroked her hair. "It's okay. Now go to sleep. Mommy needs to take a shower and then sleep too."Josephine left the triplet's room after accompanying Flower until she was completel
Nicholas hugged Josephine by the waist, preventing her from falling from their collision. However Josephine's body was much smaller than him and she looked dreamy. "Oh, sorry, I didn't--""Josephine Jade," Nicholas said in his deep voice. Josephine looked up, saw who the person she bumped into, then hugged her so she wouldn't fall. Nicholas Adams, Josephine cried out to herself. God, how could her every move lately always collide with this man? "Mr. Adams," Josephine said in a low voice. "H-how are you?"Nicholas' palms on her waist felt warm and Josephine quickly backed away from Nicholas' embrace, noticing that their position looked odd and awkward. "Why are you daydreaming?" Nicholas asked. "And why are you daydreaming here?" Josephine smiled at the soft tone in Nicholas' voice. She was about to open her mouth to say she wanted to see Carlos, but thought Nicholas might not like that. Carlos introduces Nicholas as his friend and in the Genesis Group business chart, it is clea
Josephine never forgot Lucas. After all, he was her first love. In the past, when she was still in high school, Lucas was the idol of the girls at her school.He is not only handsome, but also intelligent. Lucas once brought the school's good name by winning the Physics Olympiad. He is also a brilliant basketball athlete, captain of the St. Verron High School basketball team. It was Lucas who led his team to win championships everywhere.Josephine has a crush on him and always watches him secretly from a distance when he plays basketball in the school field.Josephine never missed a basketball game that Lucas and his team participated in, always encouraging and cheering for him from the distance.However, no one knew about Josephine's feelings for Lucas at that time, only Anna, her bestfriend and classmate, the only person who knew about it.Now, Lucas held her hand so hard that Josephine felt pain and glared at him angrily, surprising him."What's this?" Josephine asked, writhing her
"Very beautiful," said Rain, giving a thumbs up. "You suit that uniform, Mom."Sky pointed at Josephine's hair with a frown. "Mom, can't you just keep your hair down? That bun makes you look different."Josephine laughed and ruffled Sky's hair. "It's a rule from the Sparrow clinic, honey. Nurses have to put their hair in a bun so it doesn't interfere with their work, especially in an emergency."Flower clapped and held the hem of Josephine's uniform skirt. "I also want to be a nurse like Mommy when I grow up.""Of course, honey, you can definitely be a nurse, even a doctor," said Josephine."You said you wanted to be a scientist and research about otters yesterday, Flow," Rain said with a raised eyebrow."No," Flower replied, shaking her head. "Otters live in water and I don't like getting wet.""You like to change quickly, Flow. You said before that you wanted to be a plumber like Mario Bross," Sky teased."That was before I saw the worms coming out of the water pipes in the garden.
Josephine stared at the middle-aged man with a straight face. It wasn't that she had never missed him in her six years in Canada, but when Josephine repeatedly thought about how the middle-aged man had treated her and what had happened to her mother, that longing immediately vanished and was replaced by a strong feeling of hatred.Thomas Jade was a father who was favoritism and in the six years Josephine was gone, she was sure that he had never even tried to find her."Father, how are you?" said Josephine coldly, pulling up a chair across from the man--Thomas Jade. There was a circular cafe table blocking them. "How did you know I was here?"Thomas Jade looking at Josephine, his daughter, the only child of Farline, his deceased first wife. Josephine really looks like Farline. Not only their faces, body shapes, even their voices and the way they speak.The difference is that Farline is a gentle and quiet woman, submissive and introvert, while Josephine is more stubborn, brave, rebellio
