“Mommy, you look beautiful,” Ace said as he watched Emerald do her makeup. As usual, it was very light since she never changed her preference.
“Really?” Emerald asked happily. She is used to her son’s flattery, and of course, she believes him even though she thinks that he was only saying that because he’s her son.
“Yes, Mommy. I’ve never seen any mother who matches your beauty.” Ace replied, making young Morgan laugh louder. She faced her son and kneeled to almost level her son’s height and said,
“You are my son. You know how to make me feel loved and happy.” Then she caressed his face and couldn’t help but see Jace in him. No matter where she looked at Ace, Jace’s face quickly appeared in her thoughts. That’s how exactly they
Emerald went to the event hall with Daryl and was thinking about Jace. She never expected him to kiss her, and she didn’t expect him to respond either. She shook her head and followed her friend, who stopped before the stage.“Let’s all welcome the new CEO of Morgan’s Grocer, soon to be ACE’s Family Mart!” Elise said, motioning her hand in Emerald’s direction to cue her to get on the stage. Everyone looked at her, and she never missed the gasp from Emerson, Merly, and Emerose Morgan, who were now holding their breath in disbelief, standing before her friend.Young Morgan stands in front of them wearing her bare back, off-shoulder emerald green evening dress with a slit in the front that is half of her thigh-high paired with an emerald green stiletto and adorned with jewelry made with pure emerald green crystals. She loo
“You should have not talked to her!” Jace shouted.“I just want to help you,” Jack replied calmly. He knew that by talking to Emerald, his little brother would get mad at him. He informed him about it beforehand, but Jace told him not to. He didn’t want his wife to think he was trying to gain support from other people.“You don’t understand. I wanted to tell her everything myself. I want to apologize to her personally, and I want her to see my sincerity as much as possible.” Jace replied, “Still, what did she say? How did she react?”“Nothing. She asks me if I expect to forgive just because I told her everything.”“And what did you reply?”&ld
Jace was so pissed at Emerald after hearing her saying I love you too to whomever he thought she called baby. He was so jealous, and even though he wanted to show her how angry he was, he tried to control himself because he knew he was at fault and thought he needed to be patient with her.The following day, he didn’t go to his office for fear that the divorce papers would be waiting for him on his desk, just like Emerald had told him. He called Kyle instead and asked him to bring everything he needed to do in his penthouse so he could work.“Why are you working here?” Kyle asked curiously. As far as he knows, Jace doesn’t like working in his penthouse. He wanted to be in his office so anyone could contact him for any problem.“I just feel like working here,” Jace replied, making
‘That bastard! How dare he kiss me that night and now this? He let me see him making out again with his bitch!’ Emerald exclaimed internally. She couldn’t yell at her husband or show him how angry she was because she already told him that she was going to divorce him.“Emerald!” Jace exclaimed when he saw her.“Are you that thick-skinned to come up here?” Esther shouted. “Are you not over Jace yet? He told you before that he doesn’t love you, and you’re just his wife on paper, but I am the one he loves!”“Shut up, Esther!” Jace shouted, glaring at the woman whose eyes widened in disbelief. Even then, she knew that young Higginson had a thing for Emerald; she hoped he would forget about her, especially after young Morgan left.
Emerald was lost for words. For days, she had been thinking about her nanny, Lucy, and the news that Liam had told her. She can’t comprehend everything in one go out of confusion. ‘Does Dad know about it?’ she asked herself before she shook her head and thought, ‘No, if he knew, he would never have let nanny Lucy leave our mansion. When it comes to money, he’s greedy and would want everyone he can use to be at his side.’“If you are not going to work, why not just go home?” The voice of the man that she didn’t want to see or think about said, making her glare at him. “I had been standing here for minutes. You’re looking at me but never saw me. What do you think I will think when I was the one who was paying you to work?” Jace continued as he walked closer to her table.“You know what,
“Are you sure about this?” Asked Jace.“Yes, sir," the man replied, hardening young Higginson’s face.“We have been working for months now, and she’s not saying anything.”“You can ask her to confirm, Mr. Higginson.”“The boy’s name is Ace?” he asked, and the investigator nodded. Jace smiled, thinking Emerald named their son after him. “She will deny it, and I’m sure she didn’t want me to meet our son.”“Yes, and here’s the DNA result and the photos of the boy.”“How did you manage to get this?”“Ms. Emera
“What’s this about?” Emerald asked angrily. She went to Jace’s office and confronted him as she showed him the summons from the court.“Exactly what it is.” Young Higginson answered casually.“What the hell are you thinking that you file a case like this?”“Why? Are you planning on letting me know about our son?” Jace asked, looking at her intently. He already knew how she would react, and he was ready.“Of course!” Emerald exclaimed.“When? We’ve been working here for months, but you don’t even give me a hint!”“After our project! I already told my son about you.”
A day after the hearing, Jace talks to Emerald, telling her that he wants to meet their son. Although the judge has already told them that he can visit the boy any time he wants, he still asks his wife's permission, knowing how young Morgan feels about the decision.Young Morgan gives Jace their address, but he tells her that he will follow her on her way home, which leaves Emerald with no choice but to agree. In the mansion,“He’s my Daddy?” Ace asked, not leaving his gaze on Jace, who looked at him with teary eyes. He couldn’t believe that the boy looked exactly like him even though his parents already told him about it and had already seen him in the pictures. His heart was filled with joy, and he couldn’t help but hug his son.Emerald watched them, and a sudden, unexplainable feelin
