Benji liked children, especially adorably chubby little girls. Just looking at them seemed to make him melt. He squatted down and waved to Layla. "Hey kiddo, I heard your name is Layla, right? I'm a very good friend of your mommy's. Shall I take you to buy a kitty?"Layla looked up at Jessamine. Jessamine taught her not to take things from strangers, and she definitely taught her not to go with strangers. She hadn't seen this flashy man before, so she wouldn't be fooled by the promise of a kitten. "Mommy said I shouldn't take things from strangers. I don't want it."Shane stepped forward and squatted down too. "How about I take you to buy one? What breed of kitty would you like?"Layla had seen Shane, who was her godfather, in videos before. Jessamine often talked to him on the phone when they were in Hajera. She looked at Jessamine again, feeling slightly tempted to go with Shane, but was also afraid that Jessamine wouldn't approve.Benji felt a bit hurt. Layla seemed to accept Sh

Layla didn't show much interest in Thaddeus' question. She seemed more interested in the cats held by Benji. "Godfather, will the other kitties get lost if we leave them in the car?"Benji perked up at the term "godfather" and couldn't help but straighten up, wearing a proud expression in front of Thaddeus. He was mocking Thaddeus internally, saying "Look at you, after all this time pretending, your daughter calls me Godfather without even calling you Daddy!"Thaddeus had lost count of how many times he got his heart broken, but he had to endure everything in front of his child. "Layla, if you're worried about the other kitties, shall we bring them all down?"At that, Layla finally showed some interest and smiled brightly. "Okay!"Thaddeus stood up and waved to the receptionist. "Get two people to the parking lot to bring the cats up."He saw the photo Benji posted and knew there were still quite a few cats in the car. However, the receptionist didn't know. When she arrived at the

Thaddeus felt the need to resolve this major trouble as soon as possible. There was a saying that went, "Fear not the thief who steals but the one who covets". Noah was both coveting and planning to steal something of his.At 35 years old, Noah still had no plans to settle down. As his family, Thaddeus felt the need to give him a warning through Thomas. He opened his computer and saw the socialite list that Heather sent him a while ago. He forwarded it to Thomas, thinking it was time to find himself a young aunt-in-law.After sending the message to Thomas, an overseas email arrived. He opened it and saw photos inside. His hand on the touchpad stiffened, and he froze. Recently, he had someone investigate Noah's activities overseas. The email was full of photos of him with a woman, showing them being intimate and affectionate. When Noah looked at the woman, the love in his eyes was intense—a side Thaddeus had never seen before. And, that woman had the same face as Jessamine. Even t

Thaddeus followed Layla in and stopped about a meter away from Jessamine. Jessamine, holding the fruit drink handed by Layla, felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange."Layla, why did you come with Daddy?" Jessamine asked.Layla excitedly recounted her day's experiences to Jessamine. "Mommy, Godfather took me to buy a bunch of cats, and we even went to Daddy's office. Now my cats are all in Daddy's car. Do you want to take a look? They're so cute!"Jessamine understood. Benji must have taken the child to Holt Jewelry."Layla, Daddy needs to work quickly. You can't disturb him during work hours."Layla pouted. "I think it's okay. Daddy must be a big slacker at the company. I haven't seen him work at all. He only opened the computer once, made two phone calls, and spent the rest of the time playing with the cats."Jessamine couldn't help but chuckle when she glanced at Thaddeus standing by the side. Layla's words made her father sound like he was nothing more than a

The call connected, and Thomas asked, "Ted, have you investigated those girls you sent me? Are they reliable?"Thaddeus pursed his lips. "Yes, they're reliable."Those were all the prospective daughters-in-law chosen by Heather. Even if she wasn't dedicated in anything else, she was definitely meticulous in this aspect. The family background, personality, and appearance had all been carefully screened. If they didn't meet her standards, she wouldn't have introduced them to her son.She wouldn't give herself trouble by finding someone unsatisfactory. Now, Heather's efforts finally came in handy.Thomas sighed on the phone. "If you're sure they've been checked, then I won't waste my efforts. I'll arrange a blind date for Noah. Have them meet and chat first. You can also help find someone suitable and introduce her to him."At this age, Thomas had only two unfinished concerns—not having grandchildren and his youngest son's reluctance to marry. He had even suspected that Noah might
