Chapter 639

Author: Gathered Light
Jacklyn wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it right then. What kind of chaotic mess was this?

While she was grappling with her oncoming headache and not responding, Asher casually picked up a piece of chicken and placed it on her plate. But the chicken had only just landed on her plate when Liam swiftly speared it with his fork and transferred it onto his own.

The two men locked eyes, tension crackling between them, while Jacklyn, caught in the middle, was left speechless.

Irene, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "There's no way you can end up with Jackie, Mr. Handsome. But just wait for me to win you over."

"There's no rush, Mr. Jarrett. You may not be now, but that doesn't mean you can't be in the future. Mommy and I will wait for you."

Liam's jealousy flared instantly. "Jackie already has someone she likes, so there's no need for you to keep her in your mind, Mr. Jarrett," he said with a frown before ladling some sou

    Eugene let out a cold scoff. "You brought all this on yourself, Penelope. You don't deserve a happy ending."Penelope forced out a couple of tears. "Can't you give me one more chance? Ever since I returned to Lloyd Manor, I haven't done anything out of line."That was true. Penelope had been much more well-behaved since her return. But that did not erase the heinous things she had done in the past. And so, Eugene still wouldn't allow her to stay for long, especially not after learning that Theodore was his biological son.…The next day, Penelope desperately arranged a meeting with Ian. She had barely any powerful or influential allies who could help her now, so she had no choice but to turn to him again."Can you help me one more time?"Ian had just ordered a cup of coffee when Penelope blurted that out. He had already guessed her intentions for the meeting, but he wanted to see how shameless she could be."I can't. No matter what it is, I can't help you," he answered lazily, n

    Over at Lloyd Manor, Noah had been in a gloomy mood ever since he'd returned home. Even when Eugene approached him, he was still unhappy."How did things go with Theodore on set today? You two are real brothers, you know."Eugene was optimistic about the two of them getting along since they were blood brothers, and he was naturally pleased by the fact that they were both his sons."I don't like Theo! Stop talking about him, Daddy!" Noah puffed out his cheeks, still stewing over the upsetting things Theodore had said to him earlier that day.He turned to look at Eugene, his eyes pitiful and pleading. "Daddy, can you not bring Theo back? I really don't like him."Eugene's smile froze just slightly, and his expression gradually darkened. "Both you and Theo are my darling sons. There's no reason for me to leave him out there," he explained patiently."Then, what about Mommy? Theo has his own mommy, and I have mine. If Theo comes here, his mommy will have to come too, and then my momm

    "It's fine. Like you said—they're just kids. It's nothing too serious," Jacklyn said with a shrug.Hearing this, Romy felt reassured and returned to watching Lucy in her scenes, while Jacklyn left to attend to her own matters.…That night, Liam showed up at Jacklyn's apartment, arms full of groceries, ready to cook dinner for them.Theodore was still distant toward Liam, despite Liam trying his best to get close to him. After dinner, Theodore even went straight to his room, unwilling to spend even a second more with Liam.Liam felt utterly helpless when he saw this. He stared at Theodore's closed bedroom door and let out a sigh, feeling rather defeated. "I guess I'll need to try harder."As the head of the vast Robertson Group, he was used to having his word be law. Yet here, with Theodore, all he could do was chant "try harder" to himself like a mantra."Don't worry about it. Come, have some juice," Jacklyn said, carrying two glasses of juice to the couch.She picked up the r

    Lately, Asher felt that calling Jacklyn "Ms. Stinson" was too formal. He knew Irene called her "Jackie", but given that Jacklyn was his superior, he didn't quite have the nerve to do the same.If he could get Theodore's permission right now, he might muster the courage to try."Jackie! That's what Irene calls her all the time," Theodore answered casually, not thinking much of it.Asher took note of it, not saying anything further. Instead, he focused on peeling the shrimp, occasionally wiping Theodore's mouth and feeding him sips of soup.When Jacklyn arrived, this was the scene she walked in on."Thank you," Jacklyn said as she walked toward them in high heels, gratitude filling both her heart and her eyes.She was grateful that Theodore seemed emotionally stable, at least when Liam wasn't around. And she was grateful that Asher's kindness toward Theodore wasn't just talk—he genuinely cared for him."It's nothing, Jackie. It's the least I can do," Asher said, his eyes sparkling

    Theodore, who had witnessed the entire scene, was filled with confusion.Previously, whenever Romy saw a rude child, she would always chastise them. So, why was she letting Noah get away with it? And she had even let him bite her. It was all very strange."Ms. Cullen, why did you let Noah go just like that? He bit you so hard that you're bleeding."As Theodore spoke, he lifted Romy's arm with the wound and gently blew on it."He's really upset right now. If I do something to make him even more upset, who knows how much he'd cry?" Romy said, her eyes dimming with worry.She continued, "Noah has been acting out lately. For my sake, can you please not hold it against him for now?"Theodore couldn't understand why. Whenever Romy saw the three of them getting bullied before, she always stepped in without any hesitation. There was never any talk of not holding things against them.Now, even more questions crowded his mind."Ms. Cullen, why are you suddenly so protective of Noah?" The

    The next day, on the film set, Theodore and Lucy had more scenes, so Noah was able to head to the dressing room a little earlier than usual.Perhaps it was the lingering emotions from the night before, but Noah felt like everyone was against him. Not only did his father like Theodore more, but even the production team seemed to give Theodore more scenes than him.About an hour later, Theodore and Lucy entered the dressing room. Lucy went to her usual spot as always, eating the lunch Romy had set out for her. As for Romy, she had told Lucy earlier that she needed to step out for a bit.Theodore, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as lucky. He walked over and found his seat piled high with all sorts of clutter.He turned to Noah in confusion. "Noah, you came in earlier, right? Do you know who left all this stuff here?"The innocent and clueless expression on Theodore's face somehow caused Noah to feel a surge of irritation. "I don't know. Don't ask me," he answered.Hearing the answe
