Chapter 38

“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.
