"You sleep downstairs." Grace said in a cold tone as she threw a pillow and blanket at Jackson. She didn't care about the man's condition because her heart was numb. In the past she would have treated Jackson very well. If Jackson refused to sleep in the same bed with her, she would give in by sleeping on the sofa. However, this time was different; she didn't want to give in at all. Moreover, Margaret already knew their habits, so she prepared a room without a sofa in it.

Margaret thought Jackson and Grace would soften a bit by sleeping together. In fact, not at all.

Jackson stared at Grace with such a sharp look, his forehead furrowed at the woman. He wondered to himself why Grace seemed so different. He was a little uncomfortable with the change in Grace's attitude this time.

"Do you have no conscience at all by asking sick people to sleep on the floor?" Jackson didn't accept that at all.

"My conscience is dead to you." Grace pulled back the blanket, lay down, and closed her eyes. S

    “Can I take him home now, ma'am?” The woman looked at Grace with hopeful eyes. Her grip on Fake Kairos was very tight. It was as if she would truly lose her baby if she let go.Grace paused for a moment, then turned to Shane for advice. They had decided to keep the baby in their home and invite the woman to live with them to care for him. However, it seemed they had different desires.“If you want, you can stay here. We can care for him together. I’ve researched your family background; your husband is unemployed, violent, drunk, and always spends his money for gambling. Why don’t you just file for a divorce and live with us here? We can be a family for Kairos?” Shane suggested.The woman shook her head. “I’m sorry, sir. Thank you for the offer, but I can’t. I plan to take my baby back to my city and live with my family. There I will raise him.”“Which city?” Grace asked quickly. She seemed afraid that she would no longer be able to see the False Kairos. If she didn't want to live with

    "Sir, here's the information you requested." A man dressed all in black handed him a folder containing the results of his investigation. He had been researching the Fake Kairos. He had gathered as much evidence as possible. There was a birth certificate and information about the baby's parents.Shane accepted the folder with a deep sigh. He wasn't ready for the baby to be stolen. He had to return it to the baby's parents. He couldn't bear to see Grace saddened by the loss of another baby she loved.Shane opened the folder and read the report. His facial expression immediately changed, and a look of worry filled his eyes. It was just as Grace suspected. The baby's mother was now depressed over the loss. Her husband had taken her baby for money.From the photos he had seen, the baby's mother looked utterly miserable. He couldn't bear to imagine Grace in her shoes. It must have been incredibly painful."You may go." Shane looked at the man firmly. He needed time to think clearly. He had

    "Madam, there's a delivery of flowers for you." One of the maids came in with a bucket of orchids.Grace stared at the bucket with a puzzled look. Her brow furrowed, her eyes narrowed.Since when did Shane give her orchids? Shane had always given her lily flowers. Orchids were nice, but lilies were her favorite flower."From Shane?" Grace asked as she accepted the bucket.There was no sender's name, no romantic note as usual. Usually Shane always expressed his feelings through writing poetry whenever he gave Grace flowers."I don't know, ma'am. The courier didn't say anything." The maid replied.Grace's forehead wrinkled at the woman's answer. She inhaled the scent of the flowers, then felt deja vu. The scent was very familiar to something. Then, Grace remembered Claire's name. The scent of orchids flowers was very close to Claire.Remembering that, Grace now realized who sent the flowers. Jackson. Only Jackson was infatuated with all things Claire."Throw it away. Or you can take it

    "I have already forgiven, so please leave now. If you really feel guilty, please don't appear before me again." Grace said firmly. She felt annoyed at Robin but couldn't blame him."Can I hold him for a moment?" Jackson looked down at the tiny baby.Grace immediately tightened her arms around the Fake Kairos. She had lost her baby and gotten a replacement. She didn't want to lose her replacement baby too."Shane." Grace buried her face in Shane's broad chest.Shane hugged Grace's body tightly. He stroked the top of her head tenderly."Please send them away." Grace said silently.Shane looked at his men. The two well-built men seemed to understand and walked over."Please leave before I ask my men to forcibly evict you." Shane said with emphasis.Julian sighed harshly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black card."I know you are not short of money. But please accept this card as compensation from me. This card is unlimited, so you can use it as much as you like." Julian put

    "The first trial is over. We will continue the second hearing next week. Please gather as much evidence as possible and bring your witnesses." The judge said as he sorted out the files in front of him. He then left the room with some of his coworkers.Shane sighed harshly. He seemed disappointed with the outcome of today's hearing. He had collected as much evidence as possible. He had also hired the most famous lawyer in the country. Why couldn't the case be resolved with one hearing?"This was a case a dozen years ago, and the evidence we collected is not strong enough to put Jackson in jail." The lawyer tried to explain before Shane asked."How can we collect evidence when the evidence was removed by their side a long time ago?" Robin tried to hold back his irritation. He wasn't annoyed at the lawyer but at Jackson for not going to jail.Jackson stepped up to Shane. He had a look of regret and depression on his face."You should be in jail like your favorite lover." Shane immediatel

    "What do you want to talk about?" Lindsay looked at Helena with a deep look.Helena turned her head to look at Shane and Robin, who were out of sight. After they completely disappeared, Helena pulled Lindsay to a corner. She really wanted their conversation to be very private."I heard Shane wants to marry Grace; is that true?" Helena asked for confirmation."It is." Lindsay answered casually. Only the Brown family knew the news about the wedding. If outsiders knew about it, it meant that one of the Browns had told her about the wedding plans."Are you sure? Grace is a widow with one son. She's also an orphan who has no family at all. While Shane has everything. He's very handsome and still single. Shouldn't you find him a better wife?" Helena began to instigate.A mother's weakness is her child. Every mother wants the best for their child. Lindsay was no exception. Especially since they came from a conglomerate family.Lindsay smiled in response to Helena's words. She knew what Helen
