Jessamine continued, "Also, please keep our meeting a secret. If you don't, it'll cause me tons of trouble. I hope you understand."Jerome saw the hints of hurt in her expression. That scumbag Thaddeus had really hurt her a lot. He wanted to tell her there were still good men and that not everyone was like Thaddeus.He held his hand to his chest and swore, "I won't tell anyone. Please give me a chance to have a meal together with you. You're Jacinda, and I'm Jerome. This is our second meeting, and we just became friends. So, can we have a meal together, my new friend?"After Jerome finished talking, he added, "Your brother will be there, too. I've already booked a table at the hotel. It's not just the two of us."He quickly brought up Xander, fearing that Jessamine would decline. Since he had said that, Jessamine thought it would be too cruel for her to refuse.She nodded and said, "Sure. We need to leave now. We might be stuck in the traffic if we don't."Just a nod from her was

Jessamine lowered her head. She felt a pang in her chest when Xander mentioned Thaddeus. The cousins simply conversed with each other, completely ignoring Jerome, who was slumped on the table.Just now, Jerome noticed something was off with Xander, so he pretended to be drunk. Even so, he was actually a little tipsy. If he drank any more, Xander might even betray him while he was unconscious. As a businessman, he had to be cautious when he was away from home.As he lay on the table motionless, he felt sad. After hearing Jessamine's words, she didn't intend to start a new relationship and was adamant about not having any contact with anyone from Zenville.Jessamine's evasive behavior clearly showed how hurt she was. She couldn't recover from that trauma so soon.Jerome's breath hitched. He felt as if his chances of getting with Jessamine were slim. Besides, she had a difficult cousin to win over. Jerome couldn't marry her even if he wanted to. But he soon motivated himself once mo

Thaddeus must have heard something that made him run outside so anxiously. Since he and Jessamine had been married for three years, he should be able to recognize her voice.Jerome panicked, regretting that he pestered Xander and even involved Jessamine. He wanted to slap himself in the face right now.Thaddeus was anxious. He was both surprised and overjoyed to hear that familiar voice. However, to his disappointment, he didn't find anyone when he ran to the lobby.A worker was mopping the floors. Thaddeus approached the worker and asked, "Who was talking just now? I heard a female voice. Who was that?"The worker soon remembered the people in the lobby. "Oh, that's the CEO from Patton Corp and his female companion.""Where are they now?" Thaddeus asked again.The worker pointed to the entrance. "They just left. You should still be able to catch up to them."As soon as the worker finished speaking, Thaddeus strode out the door after Xander and Jessamine.It was already night.

"Jacinda, a lady is here to get some customized jewelry and wants you to design it yourself. When will you be back? She has been waiting in your office for a while and refuses to leave until she sees you," Judith informed her.Jessamine put the call on speaker, started the car, and drove out of the parking lot. "I'm leaving now. I'll be back in 40 minutes if there isn't a traffic jam. You can talk to the lady about her requests first."Judith said awkwardly, "Jacinda, she doesn't want to talk to anyone else but you."Jessamine had a bad feeling. This lady seemed to be a very strict and difficult customer to deal with.Jessamine took exactly 40 minutes to drive back to her studio. She parked her car and quickly went upstairs.Judith was already waiting for her at the elevator entrance. "Jacinda, you're finally back! I'd already served her two cups of coffee, three cups of tea, and even a fruit plate, but she didn't even acknowledge it. Instead, she kept asking when you would be bac

"Layla! Layla!" Lucas called Layla over.Layla ran over with her favorite pink teddy bear in her arms. "Yeah, Lucas?"Lucas whispered something in Layla's ear. Then, he asked, "Do you know what to do now?"Layla nodded. "Can we really find our daddy?""Yeah! As long as we work together, I'm sure we can do it," assured Lucas.Layla nodded obediently. "Good luck, Lucas! I promise we'll succeed!"And so, the two children hatched a plan, with Julia none the wiser.After dinner, Xander returned to the hotel. He noticed that the children seemed to remain obedient for the day. He held both Lucas and Layla on his lap. "I have some time at night, so where do you guys want to go? The attractions are probably closed at night, but we can go to an amusement park or ride the Ferris wheel to see the night view. Or do you have any other ideas?" he asked.Layla looked at him with puppy eyes. "Uncle Xander, can we look around the commercial business district?"Xander raised an eyebrow, surpri
