"They are growing well," Jessica answered in a slight whisper, without looking at her ex-husband.“Did they come to New York with you?” Noah asked again.“Mhm,” answered Jessica. “I don't plan to stay here long, but I also can't leave them in China. They are with Tammy now.”Once again, Jessica explained more than necessary, and she actually regretted how her mouth could easily say those words even though Noah's question was only simple.“So, you've been in China for the past five years?” Noah continued to ask.Jessica regretted it even more when Noah finally found out where she had been for the last five years. ‘I probably look like a loser who could only run away after making a huge mistake five years ago, right?’ She thought helplessly to herself.She still didn't look at the man sitting next to her, and that was why she didn't know what kind of expression the man was making right now. The man didn't continue questioning her e

This chapter contains flashbacks (this will explain the details of what happened at the end of chapter 180)....“We still have five minutes before the lunch break ends. Are you willing to give me the rest of the time? There are some things I want to ask you," not wanting to beat around the bush, Tammy immediately questioned Noah."What do you want to ask me?" Slightly furrowing his brows, Noah asked in confusion while looking at the short-haired woman sitting across from him.Tammy was sitting across from him, and she was also the one who started the conversation between them. Previously before she decided to come to the man's table, she could see how the man was talking to someone on his phone, but his expression was not clear in her eyes. The man looked serious, but at the same time, he also looked confused. That was the reason why she decided to approach him.When she finally got the chance to voice what was on her

"Are you telling the truth?""Of course!" Tammy immediately answered her friend's question. “I have no reason to lie to you about something like that, and he told me all that before you gave birth to the twins five years ago. We talked in the company cafeteria. I was the one who decided to approach him at that time after he finished talking on the phone with someone, and I also didn't expect him to tell me everything.”Tammy shrugged her shoulders indifferently, but Jessica ignored her nonchalant attitude because she was distracted by many things on her mind. But perhaps the biggest thing that bothered her was how Tammy had just told her that her husband actually loved her five years ago.Blankly, she leaned her back against the back of the sofa as she suddenly looked exhausted. Actually, her body was exhausted because she had just returned to New York from China. She had no time to rest, and now she was even more mentally exhausted because of the informat

“Excuse me. Can you tell me who the handsome man is?” Jessica asked the question in a low voice, but it was enough to attract the attention of the two nurses who were previously gossiping not far from where she was standing.She needed to take a few steps to get close to them, and now she was standing next to them. The two nurses turned towards her, and they silently studied her appearance from head to toe."Who are you?" The nurse with long platinum hair asked that question.Jessica expected she would accept the question, but she seemed unsure as she glanced at her mother who still had her back to her, but then she focused her attention on the nurse again as she answered, “I'm that woman's daughter.”One of the nurses furrowed her brows after hearing her answer. "I'm the nurse who was assigned to take care of her when she's in the hospital, and I'm sure there is no daughter in the data recorded by the hospital," the curly-haired nurse answered Je

“So, have the twins grown well in the past five years?”"They have. Shane and Shania are now five years old, and they are very healthy and intelligent. They will probably start school next year.”Jessica still felt like it was a dream. Initially, she only planned to see her mother from afar, but then her mother noticed her presence. She thought her mother would try to throw her out like she did five years ago, but she was wrong because her mother had opened her arms to her.It was probably not exaggerating to say that a mother's heart was bigger than a mountain, and that was proven by how her mother was able to forgive her even though she made a big mistake five years ago.Right now, she could even stand next to her mother's wheelchair as her mother struck up a conversation with her, and it still felt unreal to her.Jessica could see how her mother nodded after hearing her answer, and it didn't seem like the older woman was going to ask h
