Adele was shocked, what she just heard was like she was standing in front of God and he just sent her to hell. She doesnât know what to do or how to tell Harden that she canât follow the kids to their grandmother and what the scenario is looking like is as if sheâs not going then the kids canât go. She sighs after minutes of thinking. âOk sirâ she whispered for Harden to look at her. He stares at her for some minutes before looking away. Since she arrives at his mansion, the scent of his baby's mother has been lunging around. It has been getting him curious but he doesnât want to bluntly ask her.

That night, he sniffed in her scent that even in his dreams, lingers around his nose. Adele wanted to leave since Harden didnât say anything, she bowed her head to leave when she heard him stop her. â
It was morning, Adele woke up and prepared the kids for school, and Maria sat and watched as prepared them. â how do I look grandma?â Zia asked Maria as she flaunted her pretty school uniform in front of her grandmother.

I will reward you handsomely for your services and time spent on themâ She heard Maria speak as she looked at her. âIâm sorry ma, I canât,â she said for Maria to smile. âI understand. They love you because
At the McCall enterprise vice president's office, Albert sat down with his son facing him, he tapped his fingers on the table sighing. âThat old wrinkled bitch, how dare she think she can turn the board members away from me, I thought you said you have Lisa around your fingers Daniel?â He asked his son who stood up sighing. âYes I do Dad, sheâs not a problem. The problem is the governor who also has a share in the company. You know how much he adores Harden's dad, and the accusations of killing Uncle Gerald are still lingering.

I didnât want anything to happen to them thatâs why I stayed
At a restaurant on the elite side of the city, the red-haired lady who just round up with her evening shift removed her apron while still on her uniform. She hung the apron on the staff hanger when her little phone began to ring.â Gracieâ she called to hear the worried voice of her friend speak at the other end of the phone.âAdele, I need you, I donât know what I did to my client.
