Jessamine couldn't bring herself to lie to him. While she wanted to pretend to comfort him, she was also afraid that the truth would hurt his feelings.Jessamine remained silent.Thaddeus chuckled softly and lifted her onto his lap.What more could he possibly want? As long as she had him in her heart, that was enough for him. After reflecting on how he spent the past four years, he felt like a walking corpse. Being able to find her again and rebuild their relationship was already a stroke of incredible luck."Jessie, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough. I'm not greedy, but I hope you are. You should want all of me, and have your heart filled only with thoughts of me. I want to give you everything; do you want to feel it?"He took her hand and placed it on his chest. He gazed at her intently. "Jessie…"Jessamine felt her eyes grow hot with tears and beneath her palm was his strong heartbeat. Each beat of his heart resonated against her palm and sent a warmth thr

"Don't get annoyed with me for being so nosy, either. Whatever the two of you are doing, just take it back to your room and close the door," Thomas chided.Then, Thomas changed his tone and said, "Lock the door! You absolutely can't let the kids see this."Thaddeus felt a pang of bitterness. He hadn't reached that point yet; it was just nothing more than a kiss. Even though he deeply yearned for more…It seems that Thomas was overthinking quite a bit."Grandpa, I'm going upstairs to fix the lock."Thomas watched Thaddeus' back as he was about to leave and couldn't help but remind him of some things."Jessie is already tired from work, and she still has to take care of the children when she gets home. If you can't help her, fine, but don't exhaust her too much. You need to cherish your own wife and not just think about your own pleasure."Thaddeus now felt a sense of awkwardness creeping up on him as he realized what was happening."Grandpa, we didn't…"Thomas waved his hand di

Thaddeus gathered his things and turned around to see Jessamine sitting there in a daze. "Jessie, what are you thinking about?""It's nothing. I should be heading home now. If I get home any later, Layla will be upset if I miss her bedtime."Thaddeus' smile grew wider as he thought of Layla's adorable face."That little clingy one—are you sure you can handle them? How about leaving the two kids with me for a few days?""You don't even have a nanny and you still have to work during the day. I'm worried you won't be able to manage."Thaddeus thought to himself that what Jessamine said made sense. He could always hire a nanny, but having another person in the house would be inconvenient, so he dismissed the idea."How about picking up the kids this weekend?""I'll ask for their thoughts first. If the kids don't have any objections, then I don't either.""Can you come with them?"Jessamine gave him a disapproving look. "Mr. Holt, do you want to move in together before even making

After he finished asking his question, Xander answered himself. "She's looking for a grandson-in-law."Xander disdainfully glanced sideways. Thaddeus could dream on if he thought he could become the grandson-in-law of the Pattons!Thaddeus took a deep drag from the cigarette between his fingers and said calmly, "Then, I'll do my best."After putting the two children to sleep, Jessamine went downstairs just as Xander came in from outside.Jessamine felt her heart start to race a bit, and she called out somewhat nervously, "Xander."Xander responded with a hum of acknowledgment. He noticed her gaze drifting outside, and then he replied, "I scolded him away."To Jessamine, it was fine as long they didn't get into a fight.Xander poured two cups of water and handed one to Jessamine."I heard you've been looking for an ambassador lately?""I've already found one. Jerome recommended him, and I trust his judgment."Xander heard Jerome mention this during a business gathering. He had

Jessamine felt that Judith was not in the right state of mind to drive any further, but fortunately, their destination was just past the next intersection.Jessamine arrived at the private room five minutes earlier than scheduled. Jerome was already there, along with someone who seemed to be a manager. However, Hayden himself was nowhere to be seen.Jerome greeted her and said, "Ms. Patton, please sit over here."Since they were in a formal setting, he changed the usual way he addressed her. Jessamine almost had a hard time recognizing it.Jerome also said, "This is Hayden's manager. He went to the restroom and will be back soon. Let's order our food first."While they were talking, the bathroom door in the private room opened, and out came a tall young man. He was more than 6 feet tall, with a somewhat soft and gentle appearance.Hayden was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Jessamine. He didn't quite know what was going through his mind and was lost in thought for a short time
