"Do you really want to know what I'm talking about?" Lily asked with raised brows."Uhm, sure, I guess so," Tobias replied, unsure if that was the right answer to give."Thank you for that, Tina; you can take that back inside," Lily said to Tina."Okay, I'll be on my way home now too, if that would be all," Tina responded."Yes, Tina, that would be all. I'm sure Tobias would keep me company for a little while, and then I'll send him packing when I'm about to go to bed," Lily explained.Tina smiled at her response and nodded. "Okay, have a good night, Lily," she said."You too, Tina; see you in the morning," Lily replied."Good night, Tina," Tobias said as Tina left them.Lily turned to her books and continued to read. Tobias sat there silently for a few seconds before finally saying, "I think you should tell me."Lily looked up, her brows raised as she said, "Do you think that's a good idea?""I mean, you just told me you know a secret I'm keeping from you; what do you expect me to sa

Laura turned back to see her father standing there, with Anna Philips right behind him."Hello, father, stepmother," Laura said to them with a nod of her head."To what do we owe the honor of you coming to see us here?" Anna asked, looking at Laura skeptically.Laura shook her head and stepped closer to them as she answered, "No, I am here to see Grace; we have some things to discuss.""Oh, I see. Don't you think you have something you're supposed to say to us?" Anna asked.Laura raised her brow, wondering what Anna was referring to since she had not seen them since the last time they invited her for dinner."Oh," Laura said as it finally struck her."So?" Anna asked again."Sorry, I could not make it to dinner; I had something to attend to, so if you will please show me the way to Grace's office, I will be out of your hair in no time," Laura replied, adding, "I don't want to stay too long in a place I don't fit right."Jerry Philips stared at her for a long time before turning and wa

Laura opened her eyes to see Jason standing there and just staring at her. His hand reached her face and pulled a piece of air that was stuck to her check away."Oh, uhm, thank you," Laura said nervously as she turned to see she had pushed off a glass cup just as the door opened.Tim and Audrey hurried into the room, with Audrey holding some files. The tension in the room was palpable as they looked from Laura to Jason before noticing the shattered glass on the floor."Oh, my god, step away from that; I'll get someone to come pack it up," Audrey said, hurrying over to them to drop the file on the table."How did that happen?" Tim said, still looking at Jason and Laura, who seemed to be oblivious to every other person in the room."Yes, please, thank you, Audrey," Jason said, pulling Laura away from the glasses towards the other end of the office."It's good to see you both are fine; would you like me to stay?" Tim asked.Jason turned to him and raised a brow, and Tim nodded as he adde

Laura stared at the scene before her; her brows squeezed as she saw her twins with their hands wrapped around Jason's leg, sobbing."What's going on here?" Laura asked as she hurried into the room.When Lisa and Liam heard their mother's voice, they liffted up their heads and cried, "Mummy!"Lisa hurried over to her and wrapped her hands around Laura.Laura looked up to see Teressa standing a little away from them with a helpless look on her face."Will someone tell me what is going on here?" Laura asked."Uhm, Laura, so..." Jason said."Mummy, Aunty Agnes is leaving us!" Lisa exclaimed, looking up at her with a tear-stricken face.Understanding struck Laura as she finally realized what was going on, but that didn't explain what Jason was doing there."Oh, my baby, you know she has to go back home," Laura said."No, she should stay with us," Lisa argued.Laura looked up and asked, "How did you get wrapped up in this?"Jason smiled as he replied, "I was actually here to see you when I

Laura looked at Gift, then at Audrey, torn between what to do. The main reason she had come to New York was presented to her, and she didn't know if she should forfeit the trip with Jaosn for it."What do you want to do, Laura?" Gift asked, raising her brows at her and adding, "You gave me two days, but I decided to come so we can get this over and done with."Laura took a deep breath and released it slowly as she made up her mind. If she could wait seven years, then a few more hours would not hurt."I am going on a trip, Grace, an important one. I need you to look me in the eye and promise that I can see you when I get back," Laura said.Grace was silent for a minute as she stared at Laura. She could simply say that was impossible and call their deal null since she was the one who had decided to go on a trip. However, Grace knew what she had to protect was more than that, so she nodded."Okay, I believe waiting a few more hours to hear my side of the story isn't too much to ask," Gra
