But, that was definitely just an impossible wish because time continued to move even if she begged it to stay. Proof that time continued ticking was how the scene changed when her mother said that she would frame the drawing once she was able to leave the hospital, and the children seemed happy after hearing that.Her mother then asked the children to make more drawings for her, and they vigorously nodded their heads before going to the sofa inside the ward and taking out drawing equipment from their bags. They then sat on the floor before happily drawing on the paper they brought from Tammy's house."They are growing into smart and well-mannered children," said Patricia, looking at her grandchildren proudly.“They grew up in an eastern country, and the people there really respect their elders. Both Shania and Shane learned a lot from their environment," answered Jessica.“That's good,” answered Patricia. “Children like them usually only like to p

When they finally arrived at one of the biggest malls in the city, Tammy was confused by another question, “What brand should I choose?”That was what she asked right after they entered the mall, and Jessica once again rolled her eyes lazily. Her best friend then continued asking about what brand of running shoes were the best, and she also wondered about the latest models that would suit her husband. Of course, Jessica chose to ignore the questions, and she simply advised her best friend to check out each brand one by one.It was a very lazy suggestion, but Tammy was probably also too lazy to come up with a better solution, and that was why she carelessly accepted what Jessica had just told her. The four of them then entered a shoe shop not far from the mall entrance.The store clerk came to them eagerly, and she politely asked what they were looking for. Tammy answered that she was looking for a pair of running shoes for men, and the store clerk immediat

This time, Noah didn't answer Jessica immediately, he followed Jessica's line of sight to look at the children who were still sitting on the bench. Taking a deep breath, he finally answered, “You can assume what you want to assume.”That wasn't really the answer Jessica wanted to hear, and she frowned as she looked at him once more. It seemed like she asked him to choose between black and white, but he chose grey, and that confused her quite a bit.Unfortunately, before she could question the man's answer, the man was faster to speak again, “I have to go now. You don't need to think about what I said because it doesn't mean anything.”"Where are you going?" Reflexively, Jessica asked that question. “Are you going to visit my mother in the hospital?”“…” Noah looked surprised this time, and the pair of eyes looking at Jessica widened slightly at the question.The small change didn't go unnoticed by Jessica, and she decided to push him furt

Jessica drove Tammy's car to a busy area in the city, which was why she couldn't speed up because the roads were also busy at this hour. Moreover, it had been a long time since she last drove in this city, which was why she felt a bit awkward and chose to drive Tammy's car safely.From Tammy, she received information that the location she wanted to reach was in Midtown Manhattan, and because Tammy's residence was also in Manhattan, it didn't take long for her to reach her destination. However, she met with an obstacle when she wanted to park her vehicle in the building's underground parking lot."Sorry, ma'am. Only company employees are allowed to park their cars in the parking lot," said the security guard who came to stop her car as she was about to drive it to the building's underground parking lot.Jessica had rolled down the car window, and she glared displeasedly at the burly man standing next to the car before replying, “You came directly to me to s

Jessica was taken aback by the easy confirmation, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react because she thought her ex-husband would deny it.Nearly a minute passed with uncomfortable silence in the room, and Jessica finally opened her mouth to ask, “Why did you do that? Why do you keep sending me money in someone else’s name?”"That's because I know you would try to return the money to me if you found out that I was the one who sent it to you," Noah calmly answered."That's not the point of my question!" Jessica slightly raised her voice while shaking her head vigorously. “My point is, why are you sending me money? Do you think I won't be able to live without your money? Are you looking down on me?"It felt like Jessica's pride had been hurt when she found out the truth, and her gaze was suddenly filled with anger and disappointment. She was restless, but Noah remained calm in front of her."I knew you would be able to survive witho
