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
“He’s big for his age,” Jace said as he looked at his son, who is now sleeping soundly. After he bathed him, Ace requested him to stay in his room with Emerald until he fell asleep. He looked at his wife because she didn’t say anything and found her looking at their son as well. “Emerald,” He called her, making her avert her attention to him. “Let’s talk.”“What for?” Emerald asked emotionless.“Let’s talk outside,” Jace said before looking at Ace. He didn’t want their son to hear them just in case Emerald would start to say words that were not good for the boy to hear. He wants to prevent Ace from hearing them fighting or arguing. They left the room and returned to the living room to meet Daryl, who had just come out of the kitchen.
After that night, Emerald couldn’t sleep enough and was always thinking about Ace. For three days, she goes to work worried about another summons from the court that Jace would file against her to claim custody of their son.“Ma’am Emerald, everyone is ready for the meeting,” one of her team members said after she knocked on her door and got into her office. Young Morgan looked up and nodded before getting up from her chair and leaving her office.The team was busy discussing the development of their project, and Emerald was very happy since everything went earlier than planned. She was satisfied with her team, and although she hated Jace, she wanted to thank him for giving her reliable people who were willing to make extra effort. They were wrapping up the meeting when Esther came,“Ho
“How many of these do you need?” Jace asked Ace. They are in the bookstore, buying the boy’s school things. The father and son were happy choosing from notebooks designed with cartoon characters.“I only need a few, Dad,” Ace replied and started to choose the designs he wanted while Emerald watched them. She saw how happy her son was, although she was annoyed with Jace because he continuously teased her on their way to the bookstore. Jace insisted on driving for them, and as usual, their son was excited about it so Emerald agreed.“Just a few? I can buy you everything here.” Jace replied, although Emerald knew that he was only joking, she couldn’t help but said,“Don’t teach Ace to become arrogant. He can’t have everything.”
WARNING!! MATURE CONTENT!!Jace pinned Emerald on the wall as they continued kissing. He liked the feeling, and so did young Morgan, whose hands were around his neck after he lifted her, making her wrap her legs around his waist.They stopped kissing when they decided to catch some air. Jace’s eyes were on Emerald, and he could see how much his wife wanted him. Although hesitant for young Morgan to hate him if he continued, he lowered his face again and saw how she anticipated the kiss he would give her.Emerald closed her eyes, waited for Jace’s lips to meet hers, and then responded to him wantonly. That’s the last string that holds young Higginson’s control, making him kiss her deeper. The sound of their lips sucking each other will be heard in the corridor, and Emerald was thankful that no
‘He loves me? Is it true?’ Emerald asked herself. She was working in her office in ACEGame, but she couldn’t concentrate because of what had happened to her and Jace. She’s not denying that she likes it and admits that she still loves her husband. The way young Higginson confessed his love to her changed something in her. ‘No! I shouldn’t forgive him just like that. He had to suffer the way I did. Emerald, don't let your feelings for him get the better of you. You should make it difficult for him to appreciate you more.’ Young Morgan thought before she shook her head and tried to focus on work.As soon as she started working, all her attention was on her computer. Although she was in ACEGame, she looked at the ACE Family Grocers sales report, formerly Morgan’s Grocer. Elise successfully changed the store name, but Emerson was unhappy.Seeing how their sales changed, Emerald was very happy. She knew they could increase their sales, especially when she got good suppliers. She started pl
Old Mr. and Mrs. Higginson were so happy when they met Ace. The boy was surprised to see the couple as well. He was very happy when he found out about his cousin, who was only three years old—the same little girl who was with the old couple in the amusement park.Jace was happy to see how the important people in his life were getting along well. There’s only one problem, Emerald. He and Ace were in his room and were about to sleep when the boy asked, “Daddy, do you love Mommy?” He felt relieved when Emerald agreed to let their son sleep in his parents' mansion.Young Higginson was stunned, not because he didn’t know how he would answer his son but more because he was worried that their son was thinking about him and Emerald. “Why do you ask?”“I love my grannies, uncle
“I know Emerald will forgive me eventually,” Jace told Kyle. They were in his office, and his friend was worried after finding him in deep thought.“Of course, she will. And you’re lucky that your son likes you.” Kyle replied, making Jace nod and smile. He told him what Ace had been doing to give him and EMerald time to be together.“I just hope that our plan will work. Ace had been serious about getting me and Emerald back together, so I didn't want his efforts to go to waste, either."“You can’t blame your son. He wanted to have a complete family, and after calling Liam daddy for a long time, I think his happiness now that he’s finally met you is beyond what we can imagine.” Jace thought the same thing. Whenever he looked at his son, he saw a free-spirite
Jace rushed to catch up with Emerald and stopped her after their meeting, “I’ll send you to your company.” he said. “I’ll just get my car key,”“I’ll just call a cab.” Emerald insisted.“Please, Emerald. Let me do this for you.” Jace said, pleading. Young Morgan didn’t say anything and just sighed before nodding. Young Higginson grabbed her hands and pulled her into the elevator.“What are you doing?”“I need to get my car key, and I’m afraid that you will leave if I leave you even for a second, so I’ll bring you to my office, and we will go together in the parking lot,” Jace answered.“I didn’t know you hav
