âŠIn jail, Xavier stared at Jeanetteâs face through a layer of glass. His expression was filled with hatred.Jeanette stared at him and took a deep breath. Then, she picked up the phone.âHowâve you been?âXavier smirked. âSince my own brother has decided to send me to jail, why has he asked you to come all the way here? To insult me? You really are a match made in heaven.âJeanette sighed. Actually, Xavier was a very smart man, on par with Damon. Besides, when she had first joined the Godf
In the car, Mimi turned to look at Zeke, who was next to her. For a moment there, she had no idea what to say to him.They had pretty much silently admitted to the mediaâs claims over their engagement. Over the past few days, Zeke had been making preparations for their engagement party. She had been the one to suggest getting married, but now she was beginning to feel cold feet. She wasnât sure if she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Zeke.Zeke seemed to be in a good mood. He had
âDamon Godfrey! It was you, wasnât it? How could you do this to me?â His expression was ruthless. His eyes were filled with a terrifying expression, unlike ever before. He looked like a wild animal that had been suppressing its urges for a very long time.Jeanette had never seen such a terrifying look on Xavierâs face before. She paused in fright as she stared at Xavier from afar.Damon seemed perfectly calm. âYou brought this on yourself, Xavier. I know what youâve done. Itâs just that I neve
âYouâre overthinking it!â Elias slapped her hand away.Vanessa laughed bitterly. âOh, I wish I was, Elias. But the facts prove that youâre in love with Mimi Norton. Youâre in love with your best friendâs fiancee!ââThat has nothing to do with you!â Elias was like a cat who had his tail trampled on. He was tense. He had grown increasingly annoyed now that the heart of the matter had been prodded at.âNothing to do with me? Elias, do you really think that I was only in love with your position?
Damon reached out and held her wrist. âYou donât believe me? Then come with me.âJeanette smacked his hand away, looking very stern. âWhat are you planning? Iâm not leaving with you.âFelix suddenly emerged from his room, holding a teddy bear, just as the pair were in the midst of conflict. He widened his large, limpid eyes and looked at Damon at the doorway. His expression filled with immense joy.âDaddy!â The little boy smiled and happily rushed to wrap his arms around Damonâs waist. âDaddy, are you here to take Mommy and me home?âDamon smiled and gazed at his clever son, a god-send, and spoke in a gentle voice. âOf course. Would you like to come home with Daddy?ââYes!â The little boyâs voice was clear. Then, he carefully turned to Jeanette. âMommyâŠâJeanette frowned. Her heart was a mess. Felix missed his home. He was such a small child and had been forced to endure the conflict between her and Damon. He must have suffered. However, she couldnât go home with Damon like this.
Jeanette was standing in the kitchen, staring dazedly at the pot of burnt potatoes, looking exasperated.âIâm such an idiot! Iâve actually managed to burn potatoes⊠by boiling them. This is completely unheard of! Itâs all my fault for being so careless. I left the potatoes to boil and ran off to do something else. I was so busy that I completely forgot about them, until two minutes ago, when I smelled the burnt potatoes. Then I remembered that mine and Felixâs dinner was in that pot. All of the water had actually evaporated!âJeanette felt a massive headache as she stared at the blackened potatoes stuck to the pot. This was the only food they had at home. Now that the potatoes were ruined, she had no other choice except to take Felix out for food.She scratched her head in exasperation. Felix appeared from behind her, hugging the teddy bear she had just bought for him, and walked into the kitchen. He lifted his chubby, naively little face and stared pitifully up at Jeanette.âMommy
