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
"Are you sure?"Anna nodded firmly. "Of course! Come on, Joy, don't think about it too much. Look, your forehead is all wrinkled like an unironed rag," teased Anna.Josephine couldn't help but laugh and stroked her forehead. "I've troubled you a lot since coming back here," Josephine said embarrassed."Can you not say something like that? You piss me off for always saying that," complained Anna."Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, but ... thank you very much Anna, I don't know how I would be if my best friend wasn't you."Josephine hugged Anna tightly until her best friend patted her on the back. Anna gave the car keys to Josephine."I'll pick up Flower and Rain first, then pick up Sky every day and take them to Mom's house. My mom insists that they should be taught discipline after school. Eat and nap, have afternoon tea and study, then have dinner before you pick them up. Madam Antris will take care of and watch over them.""If your mother and Madam Antris had taken care of them, with
Jade's mansion's door opened slightly, leaving a gap uncovered. Maybe, someone just walked in and didn't close the door properly.Great doubts made Josephine freeze in front of the door, doing nothing. She thought, why she is here. She look at the door and sighed.Inside the mansion, Thomas was pacing back and forth in the living room restlessly. Melisa put a cup filled with coffee on the coffee table and sat on the sofa, frowning at her husband's behavior."Honey, what are you doing? You've been pacing there all the time, giving me a headache. What's wrong?" asked Melissa. "Could you sit down and tell me what happened?"Thomas looked at Melisa and finally sat down beside his wife, who handed him a cup filled with coffee. Thomas gulped down the fragrant black liquid with relief."Oh honey, you have no idea how lucky I feel to have you. You are a great wife, who always understands how a husband feels. I don't know how Josephine and I would have been if you hadn't been with me since the
