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
"Come in! It's raining so hard, hurry up!" Josephine was in a situation where she really wanted to curse everyone.Thomas Jade had completely ruined her mood. Since childhood, Josephine has always felt lonely. She knows how it feels to be abandoned and ignored. Her father was there, but absent, like a ghost.Josephine grew from one caregiver to another and when Thomas Jade finally married his mistress--Melisa and brought up their child who was only two years older than Josephine, she felt even more lonely.She once thought that in the end she would feel how beautiful it is to grow up in the love and care of a mother, but in fact, Melisa is a true picture of a fairy tale about a stepmother who is only kind to her stepdaughter when the father is around.Even funnier, when Melisa realized that her husband was ignoring Josephine because she looked too much like his ex-wife who had died, she shamelessly showed her true attitude, ignoring Josephine like her husband did and did not hesitate
Josephine entered her apartement while undoing her hair bun. She was already feeling warm because the heater in Nicholas' car was turned on at a fairly high temperature, but after getting out of the car and walking up to her apartment, she noticed that her clothes were damp.The house feels deserted. Josephine looked at the wall clock, it was almost nine o'clock at night. The triplets must have been sleeping since earlier. Josephime went straight to the kitchen and made hot milk for herself.The triplet's bedroom door opened with a soft sound, just as Josephine turned off the stove after heating the milk. Anna left the room rubbing her eyes. She saw Josephine and walked into the kitchen."I didn't hear you come in," said Anna. "Flower is very warm and smells good, so I fell asleep with her."Josephine smiled knowingly. "Being close to them always makes us sleepy," said Josephine. "Very warm and comfortable.""Joy, are you out in the rain? Your hair is wet. Don't you have an umbrella w
