After seeing off Xander, Jessamine wasn't in the mood to tidy up the house. She was brought back to reality by Lucas' excited shout. "Wow, there's a magical dinosaur LEGO!"Lucas hugged the newly opened box of building blocks. He was unable to put it down. This LEGO set was a limited edition released this year, and he had wanted it for a long time. He had asked Jessamine for it several times before, but she couldn't get it through the official website."Mommy, which uncle gave us these gifts? He's amazing to be able to buy the limited edition," Lucas exclaimed excitedly.Jessamine fell silent for a moment. "It's an uncle you haven't met before. He used to be Mommy's boss when she worked in Zenville."Lucas's eyes seemed to sparkle. "Then Mommy, please thank him for me. I love it so much!"Jessamine smiled. "Enjoy playing with them."Lucas couldn't resist opening the other toy boxes. To his surprise, the more he opened, the more delighted he became. They were all toys he liked—rob

Thaddeus squinted and held in his emotions before speaking, "If you keep laughing, I'll just change doctors."Daniel then got serious. "Well, tell me then. How come the big revelation I gave you before didn't cure your old illness, and suddenly it's better now? Did something special happen recently?"Thaddeus confessed truthfully, "I found her in another city. She didn't leave this world four years ago. She miraculously survived."Daniel slapped his thigh. "Well, that's good. Then why did you come to me? That girl is more effective than any treatment plan. She's the antidote to your illness."Thaddeus fell silent for a moment. "Yes, she is effective. I hardly have hallucinations anymore, but I often tremble uncontrollably at night, feel anxious, and break out in a cold sweat, especially when she ignores me during the day. It's very uncomfortable."Daniel looked serious. He cured one problem only to have another one pop up. Thaddeus really knew how to keep him busy. "Come with me t

In the darkness, Jessamine's breath got choked up. She wondered if the staff had said something they shouldn't have to the two children, leading Lucas to have such a terrifying thought."Lucas, do you know Dad?"Only then did Lucas realize that he had misspoken. He hadn't paid attention to what he was saying and accidentally blurted out what he had been thinking.He quickly corrected himself, "I don't know. I've never seen him. Didn't you say he went to learn magic?"Jessamine relaxed slightly. But then she thought about it. Lucas was generally more emotionally and intellectually mature than children his age. She couldn't let her guard down.She was mainly worried that being from a divorced family would harm the children's psychological development, especially since Lucas had said such things."Lucas, do you want a dad?"Lucas replied softly, "I do. But I don't want a bad Dad. I want someone who knows how to fight, can fly over rooftops, and treats Mommy well!"Jessamine couldn

The stylist was much more approachable than Yara and wasn't as arrogant. "Ms. Patton, please have a seat here. Let's discuss the details."Jessamine felt relieved and sat down. Since she was already here, she might as well go along with it. If she didn't tidy up properly, she wouldn't be able to promote any jewelry at the gala. She might as well go home and take care of her children.After discussing Jessamine's preferred makeup style, the stylist began to work his magic on her face.The dresses that Jerome had ordered arrived while Jessamine was getting her makeup done. The assistant brought in a large selection of dresses in various styles for Jessamine to choose from.When she looked at the row of dresses behind her in the mirror, Jessamine felt that the extravagance was a bit too much. If she had known this, she would never have come with Jerome.She had a strange feeling as if she were an international superstar, especially with the occasional visits from Jerome's secretary,

A woman's keen sixth sense made Jessamine feel the hostility from Yara.Jessamine wondered if it could be that Yara had taken a fancy to Jerome. Maybe her being Jerome's companion today made Yara feel jealous?Jerome had a good character, an above-average appearance, and was also the boss of one of the top three media companies in the country. He was regarded as one of the best marriage candidates by the socialites in the circle, and it was fair for their female talents to like him.Jessamine smiled slightly and said, "Good men are indeed a limited resource for humanity. I wish Ms. Lockwood success in her endeavors."Yara pursed her lips and smiled as though she knew a secret, "Then I'll use Ms. Patton's good wishes and strive to win him over tonight!"On the side, Jerome teased, "Stop bragging here. Where's your male companion? Did he even agree to come with you?""Mr. Langston, don't make fun of me. Would I say something uncertain? He just went to the restroom and will be back
