Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Jean glared at Glenn. She wanted to leave the argument behind, but at the same time, she was acutely aware that she was representing Joyce, who had been confined to bed for three years. During that time, Jean herself never reached out to Glenn in any capacity either. Since Sydney and the other guests were turning Joyce into a topic of gossip, Jean had to respond accordingly.Sydney's expression was clouded by confusion when confronted by "Joyce", who seemed like a different person than her demure and timid self from a few years back.She snickered and retaliated unrelentingly, "Have you received a confidence boost from marrying into the Larson Family?"At that moment, Jane glided toward Sydney.With a polite smile, she whispered to the young lady, "The guests I invited today are VIPs of the Page Family. Syd, are you making a scene to humiliate me?"Despite the divorce rumors, "Joyce" remained Tyler Larson's legal spouse and attended the event in that capacity. The Pages wouldn't w

Confused, Jean slowly lifted her head. He shot daggers at her and scoffed."Don't try anything in front of me with that pea brain of yours. If you're feeling sick for real, I'll get you to the hospital."She furrowed her brows as her heart pounded in her ears."I'm not sick."Staring at him blankly, she was gripped by fear. Something told her that he might have learned about the truth. He merely gave her a casual glance and looked away."If that's the case, don't act like you're sick and waste my time."She was left baffled as she fought the depressed feelings. After sending her to Teak Villa, he left in the car. He wouldn't visit the villa for a long time after that.Jean next heard about Tyler from Esme's update. Tyler and Esme's engagement was around the corner. A while ago, Coleen Larson was almost abducted, and most of the bodyguards at Teak Villa were reassigned to the Larson Residence as a result.Judy Larson fell sick from the shock, and Tyler was busy with both the inv

Simone was hesitant and surprised. "Jean, I don't think you should."She looked at Jean's belly, thinking that it was too cruel for Emmett. Jean also stared at her belly and put on a determined face after taking a deep breath. "I can't let him waste his time on me. I'm no longer good for him. I'll feel guilty if I'm still on his mind."Simone recalled the sweet times that Emmett and Jean had shared. She felt upset when she saw Jean tearing up. Maybe Jean and Emmett were not meant to be. "Okay. I'll make the arrangements."Simone had seen Emmett at his lowest. She also knew that Jean wanted to force him into giving up since he had learned the truth about the twins. Better sooner than later.Jean nodded and fell silent. She was rather calm because she had prepared what she wanted to say to Emmett.Two days later, the pair finally met. Jean heard a knock and opened the door, thinking it was Simone. When she peeked through the peephole, she was shocked to see an exhausted Emmett

Within half an hour, Jean gave birth to a baby. She passed out from exhaustion right after, but she heard it crying before she blacked out.When she woke up again, she was back in the waiting room. She opened her eyes and found Simone and Bertha by her bed, but their expressions were not right.Taken aback, she looked beside her but did not find the baby.Frantic, she whispered, "Where's my baby?"Simone hung her head in silence.Bertha whispered back with an apologetic look, "Jean, I'm so sorry. The newborn suffered from a hemolytic reaction, and they couldn't save him."Jean was shocked by the answer. She couldn't believe that she lost the baby even though she heard him crying before she fainted. Staring at Bertha in disbelief, she started crying."I clearly …"Bertha quickly took her hand and apologized profusely, "Jean, I'm sorry, I really am. You had so much trust in me, but I … I couldn't save your baby."Jean sobbed. She was upset by Bertha's tear-stricken and guilty fa

Jean was a different woman now. Five years ago, she lacked confidence and skills. Today, she was glowing and sure of herself.The Michaels had threatened to kick her out of the family ever since she left the Larsons. Because of that, she went no contact with her family.Thankfully, she spent five years abroad without issue despite her family's threats. The family's attention was on Joyce, who moved back to Oakside Villa. They had no time for Jean.Jean walked toward the exit. She flew home alone, and no one was there to pick her up. Her eyes glimmered with a tinge of disappointment when she saw the crowds that were waiting for someone at the arrivals hall.She hailed a cab by the roadside and shared her address. The driver occasionally stole glances at her via the rearview mirror during the trip. She chuckled at his absent-mindedness."Sir, I'm not Joyce Michaels. And look out—you're going to run a red light."The driver was embarrassed after being called out and quickly stepped
