Xara hesitated briefly before elegantly taking a seat next to Esther. She placed a napkin on her lap. The dining room atmosphere turned strangely awkward. As a guest, Esther felt uncertain about alleviating the tension.At that moment, Sunshine approached, her hands and shoes clean. Without any assistance from servants, she skillfully climbed onto her chair. She then reached out her chubby little hand toward Jacob."Jacob, smell my hand. Isn't it fragrant?"Without a second thought, Jacob replied, "Yes, it is."Seeing that everyone was present, Steffan folded the newspaper in his hand and uttered indifferently, "Serve the dishes.""Yes," the servants replied promptly, relaying the message to the kitchen through the intercom.In a matter of moments, uniformed servants brought an array of dishes to the dining room. The table was adorned with exotic delicacies from around the world, while child-friendly meals were placed near Sunshine and Felix. Their eyes widened excitedly as they

Steffan was quite a sentimental man. He was still using the same phone number he had five years ago."Steffan, it's me. Can we talk about adopting Sunshine..."Esther added from the side, "And Twinkle..."Steffan's light, mocking tone reached Esther's ears. "Xara, you couldn't even be a good mother to your own son. Now you want to be a mother to others?"Xara's pretty face flushed with shame. "Steffan, Esther only wants us to adopt them in name. It's not like we are really adopting them—"Before Xara could finish her sentence, Steffan coldly interrupted her. "Has Jacob agreed?"Xara was momentarily startled, her grip tightening on the phone as she sought Jacob's opinion."Jacob, can we temporarily help Esther adopt Twinkle and Sunshine?"Esther was also watching Jacob anxiously. "Jacob, I'm begging you..." she said pleadingly."I agree."Those two words from Jacob were like music to Esther and Xara's ears."Thank you, Jacob." Esther was incredibly grateful. Jacob was truly a

"Mommyy!"Each time Felix called "Mommy," it was always straightforward. When Sunshine called "Mommy," she always extended the last syllable. Esther could easily distinguish who was calling out to her."My darlings, have you been waiting long?"Sunshine replied in a sweet and soft voice, "Nope!"Esther pointed to the bathroom, ruffled the hair of the two adorable children, and said gently, "I'm going to take a shower. We'll chat later, alright?""Okay."When Esther came out of the shower, Felix had fallen asleep. As a boy, Felix often played vigorously during the day. Once his energy was spent, he would sleep early in the evening."Sunshine, what book are you reading?" Esther sat down next to Sunshine.Sunshine snuggled into Esther's arms like a clingy kitten. "Mommy, you smell so nice!"Esther saw that Sunshine was reading "The Magic School Bus", so she joined Sunshine and began reading the picture book with her."Sunshine, Anna and I are not yet qualified to adopt you. I pl

Alice gracefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and stood up. She looked at Esther, who was holding the USB, and said, "Ms. Quill, why waste your wonderful life on a man? Cast away the unworthy. Live your own life.""You're right," Esther said.Alice blew Esther a kiss and flashed her a coquettish glance. "Good luck."Esther personally escorted Alice to her car.Esther borrowed a laptop from one of the servants and inserted the USB. As soon as she opened the drive, a video file popped up. It was the footage that had been used to convict her in court years ago, showing 'her' disconnecting Thomas' oxygen mask.The video initially played at normal speed. It was noticeably slowed down on the second viewing, particularly at critical moments. Although Esther had previously observed problems with the video, a sense of deep gratitude welled in her as she saw Alice's version.Alice's motivations or intentions in obtaining the video were beside the point. What mattered was th

"Uncle Jasper."Felix approached Jasper with a cute and charming greeting. Esther had informed Felix on the plane that Jasper's team had rescued him when he fell into the sea."You're quite the good boy, Felix," Jasper praised, placing a hat on Felix's head. He then cautioned Esther, "Considering your ongoing divorce proceedings with Bradley, your public exposure has increased. Felix is still young, so limiting his public appearances is best.""Jasper, you are always so considerate," Esther said."Felix, come here and give me a hug."Felix happily complied, stretching out his arms and embracing Jasper, who held him with care and affection."Esther, are you heading directly to the Warner Group?"Esther's porcelain-white face exuded a detached coolness, her gaze unwavering as she spoke. "Jasper, I've conducted the DNA test three times, and each time, it has indicated that Pixie is not my daughter. To erase any uncertainty, I collected a sample from Pixie. I intend to proceed with
