Irene wanted to build her career steadily, and Isaac chuckled. "Alright, if that's what you want… but," he said, his tone changing sharply, "Come to me directly if you feel doubtful again. Don't bottle it in and stress yourself out.""Yeah, I should've trusted you," Irene murmured softly—this was certainly her own shortcoming, because she should not have doubted him over nothing!If Isaac never noticed and she kept acting suspicious, their relationship definitely would have been affected—since they had just started, they did not hold absolute faith in each other yet.Picking up a piece of pie and holding it inches from her lips, he said, "Try this. It's good."Irene felt a sliver of embarrassment, but ate it eventually. The crunchy crust and the sweetness of the filling unfurled in her mouth, and she held a hand over her mouth as she said, "It's good."She then picked up another slice, and Isaac watched as she stuffed her cheeks like a hamster. Unable to resist smiling in amusem

Chad's wife had executed her plan meticulously—she even managed to misdirect Stan, who had traced the message she sent to Isaac back to Ian's casino ship.Now that Isaac had turned against his family and were on the brink of conflict, she could naturally place the blame on the other Jeffersons.Moreover, everyone believed that she was dead.No one would even suspect her.…Jimmy the chauffeur started looking around the hospital as the skies darkened, but Irene was nowhere to be found. Hence, he called Isaac, who had just returned home and was standing just outside the door, to inform him of that. "What?!""Mrs. Jefferson is missing," Jimmy repeated, sweat forming over forehead just then—he was worried that Isaac would be furious if harm came to Irene."How long has she been gone?" Isaac demanded."It's probably been seven hours now. I parked the car after she left, and I never saw her since. I thought she would be busy, so I waited, but she never came out, and she wasn't anyw

Even as Irene and Isaac's eyes met, Ricky asked, "Why aren't you answering? Hah! You don't love her, do you? After all, a man like you can have any woman you want—why would you even get worked up over one woman? If anything, you're keeping my sister… No, you're keeping Irene just because she gave you a child!"Irene never considered that, and when Ricky suddenly said it, it somehow made sense.Was Isaac being nice because he loved her, or because of Tommy?Ricky's words certainly affected her, and if Ricky knew that, someone as smart as Isaac should know that as well.That was when Isaac started walking toward her."Don't come!" Irene exclaimed "The bomb!"Isaac did not seem to hear her, however, and kept walking.Irene blinked even as she watched him, blinking back tears as she smiled faintly and sobbed, "I'm sure you love me.""You're really stupid, aren't you? He hasn't said a thing and you believe him already?" Ricky exclaimed with a tone that said 'I'm-doing-this-for-you.'

When the ambulance arrived and rushed them to the hospital, Irene had to wait outside. Although she could help, she did not have a medical license and was not allowed into the examination room.After over an hour, both Ricky and Isaac were found to only suffer minor injuries and were treated accordingly. Still, they were admitted for observation since it was a bomb. Since they were admitted to different wards and Irene could not care for them both at the same time, she called Sheryl to help take care of Ricky.She then called Mrs. Watson, saying, "Isaac and I won't be home tonight. Is Tommy doing alright?""Yes, he's such a good boy. Don't worry, Mrs. Jefferson—I will take good care of him."Irene was naturally relieved since it was Mrs. Watson. "Okay."After that, she called Stan on Isaac's phone. She wanted to tell Stan that Isaac was unavailable and could not work for a while, and to have Stan call if something important came up. However, the instant Stan heard what she sai

Isaac lowered his gaze just then, but he was only able to see the top of her head. "Would you be upset if I told you that I knew Ricky's bomb was fake?"Irene looked up in surprise. "What? You knew?""Yeah," Isaac replied—he knew it was a fake the instant he saw it. Nonetheless, Irene smiled. "So what?"After all, he was definitely tested when he tried to save her. Even if the first one was a dud, the second one was real.So this was the warmth of a person…As a child, Sheryl had been too meek while Lionel was too overbearing, so she never felt much warmth from her family. "I never expected this when I married you…"In fact, Isaac himself did not either.Knock, knock.Someone knocked on the door just then, and Sheryl's voice could soon be heard. "Irene? Ricky is awake."Irene had told Sheryl to inform her right away when Ricky recovered, since she had questions for him.She quickly sat up and said, "Got it."Sheryl was going to leave, but remembered that Isaac was just
