Kathryn felt more at ease after receiving Tally's call. Yet, she was still worried.Chris had been tied up in meetings for the entire afternoon. He only came back to the office at 4:00 pm.Chris' lips curled into a smile when he saw the scarf in Kathryn's hand. He went to her and said, "It's looking great. You're making progress."Previously, her hands were clumsy with the knitting needle. Now, she was a whiz at it.Kathryn responded, "In the beginning, my fingertips used to get pricked, so I couldn't knit quickly enough.""What about now?""It's okay now."When she first started knitting, her hands had struggled with the pain, and even a gentle touch had hurt her fingertips. But that was no longer the case.Chris was all smiles as he scooped her into his lap in one swift move. Kathryn was so startled that she accidentally let go of the scarf in her hand.Chris didn't seem bothered about getting pricked.At this moment, Kathryn recalled her conversation with Tally over the p

Chris went to the lounge after instructing Tara. Kathryn was still sound asleep.Pregnancy had left her feeling lethargic, and her peaceful slumber was enviable to anyone who saw it.Noticing that Kathryn had kicked her blanket away, Chris went over and covered her back up.His actions stirred Kathryn awake, and she opened her eyes in a drowsy manner, murmuring, "Hmm, are you done with your meeting?"Her voice was sleepy and hoarse.Chris replied, "Yeah. Are you still tired?""Yeah, I'm tired from dreaming!" she replied, sounding uneasy. Kathryn had a fear of having dreams while asleep. It left her feeling even more exhausted afterward, making it more tiring than not sleeping at all.Seeing her discomfort, Chris couldn't help but smile. "Do you want to continue sleeping?""What time is it now?""It's after six now."Kathryn had slept for more than two hours and felt like she had been in a deep slumber. She struggled to get up from the bed. "Let's head back then.""Hold on.

Hesitant, Jessica glanced at the side of Byron's somber face. Summoning her courage, she asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?""It's about the trade department's Densel Level project. Get in the car."When Jessica realized that it was a work-related matter, her head throbbed. She couldn't possibly decline a work-related discussion.With anxiety, she got into Byron's car.As the car pressed on through the rain, Byron inquired about the Densel Level project. Jessica had also sensed that something was awry after the sales department had signed the contract.The sales department had made some adjustments to the numbers, and the manager had received a harsh reprimand for it. Now, it was too late to reverse this situation. They could only halt the Densel Level project once the first phase was complete.They could only make revisions to the contract during the second and third phases. It was the only way to mitigate losses.Jessica shared her thoughts. Byron nod

Jessica's heart ached at how frightened her daughter was. She held Kelly's face. "Don't be scared. No matter what happens, Mom is here."Jessica demonstrated exceptional acceptance, fully embracing the fact that she had no knowledge of who Kelly's father was. While others might have been quick to criticize the circumstances surrounding the child's parentage, Jessica chose not to do so. If word had spread within the community about Kelly's biological father, she would simply relocate with Kelly.Jessica quickly became resolute in her decision. Regardless of the circumstances, she was determined to always protect her daughter."Yeah, I will always have Mom." Kelly nodded vigorously.Kelly appeared so well-behaved.It was the weekend tomorrow. Jessica asked Kelly, "We'll have something simple for dinner tonight. I'll take you out for something nice tomorrow, okay?""Okay." Kelly nodded. She wasn't picky with her food. In the midst of this upheaval, her world had turned upsid

The poached chicken tasted amazing.Jessica made two more side dishes to go with the poached chicken. They were scrumptious. Kelly was silently eating her food. Jessica gave some of her chicken to Kelly, but the little girl thoughtfully put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate. She said, "It's too much, Mom and Aunt Kathryn. I can't finish it."Was she that full? They highly doubted it. A sorrowful feeling welled up in Kathryn's heart as she observed Kelly. Jessica's heart felt the same grief, too. "Silly girl, you should eat this. Your body needs the nutrients to grow."She placed the chicken back onto Kelly's plate as she spoke. Yet, Kelly was stubborn. As she was about to put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate, Kathryn quickly interfered, "I will give mine to your Mom. The baby in me doesn't like chicken that much."Kelly looked at Jessica. Jessica stopped Kathryn. But Kathryn gave Jessica a knowing look. If Jessica didn't eat the chicken, neither would the l
