Ben looked awkward, he just nodded when Jesslyn asked him to come over and greet his ex-wife who had just come home from the hospital. Seriously, Ben never thought that he would be invited just to do that. He didn't even know that his ex-wife was in the hospital, and he didn't care about her anymore either. His heart was still hurting and disappointed, and he hadn't completely gotten over it and he certainly wouldn't be able to welcome his ex-wife's arrival feeling as happy as his daughter was feeling right now. "Daddy cooking food for us?" Jesslyn asked enthusiastically, as they walked into the living room and smelled the cooking aromas from the nearby kitchen. Ben nodded hesitantly. He said yes, occasionally glancing at Joe as if asking for help because right now he didn't know what to do. "Well, Mommy, it looks like Dad cooked all this on purpose to welcome you." Jesslyn was looking more and more strange, making Ben and Joe feel very uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Rosetta, who was
Quina was all dressed up, she had an appointment to meet Aaron, a young man who owned a fairly large company. Such a man was her ideal type, especially since Aaron owned a company which meant he was rich enough to cover her living expenses should she become his lover. "I can't wait to meet him." Quina was excited. She prepared in no time, she really prepared herself to the maximum so that Aaron would not be disappointed when he met her later.Finished preparing, Quina left her room and walked towards the exit of her house. However, her steps stopped when a voice entered her eardrum. "Mommy? Where are you going?" Jonathan asked with a flat expression. The man had apparently returned to his house after releasing Mark yesterday, but he had not yet met his mother because he chose to rest first in order to have the energy to face the woman who was very instrumental in his life. "Jo-jonathan?!" Quina stammered, she was so shocked when she saw the presence of her son who had just disappea
Quina lowered her head, she was afraid of the expression Kevin was showing right now. Although the man was already quite old, but his charisma was still clearly visible to make anyone who saw him feel reluctant. "I... I was just visiting my friend, Dad. I didn't do anything shameful." Quina reasoned, she didn't want to take the blame. After losing Mark, Quina would not give anyone a chance to interfere with her fun again. Moreover, this time her target was greater than Mark who could only live on her. "You said you only met up with old friends to relieve boredom? Then, who drove you earlier? The young man you're going to use to satisfy your lust besides Mark, huh?" Kevin would not be able to think clearly, he would always think negatively about Quina after what she had done. "Am I that low in your eyes, Dad?" Quina was acting. Her eyes started to look glassy, and eventually the tears started flowing. Kevin who saw this was not touched at all. His face still remained hard, which s
Joe and Ben were now in the car. They were both driving towards the destination where the middle-aged man lived alone. At the moment, Joe was focused on his driving, while Ben looked restless. Often the middle-aged man changed his position, making his son-in-law look over. "What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling cold? If so, then I'll turn off the air conditioner." Joe asked, occasionally glancing at his father-in-law. "No." Ben shook his head. "I just feel guilty after hearing what Jesslyn said earlier. You must be feeling hurt and very disappointed right now. Right?" Ben looked back at Joe, it was obvious that the man was very uncomfortable with the situation. "It's okay, Dad. I think, Jesslyn's current attitude must be due to the influence of her pregnancy and she must not have realized it when she said that." Joe smiled wryly, he refocused on the road to let the disappointment he felt fade away as he busied himself."I don't think so." Ben shifted his gaze to the car window which
Quina was sitting restlessly at the front of the cafe near her house that provided a place to relax for customers who wanted to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. "Where's Aaron? What took him so long?" Quina chuckled in annoyance. Every now and then she took a sip of the coffee she had ordered in order to sit in that part of the cafe. After taking a sip of the coffee, Quina's face looked different. Her brow furrowed, and her eyes narrowed. "What is this coffee? It doesn't taste very good." Quina looked disgustedly at the coffee, then pushed the glass away from her body. "It turns out that I was right in my assumption that the food and drinks usually consumed by the lower middle class are very bad. I feel like spitting out the coffee I just drank." Quina said quite loudly, and her words provoked various reactions from the people around her, especially the visitors who were mostly students. Those who heard the inappropriate sentence immediately booed Quina openly and it made her even mo
"Yes, Mommy was expelled by Grandpa from the house after the resistance she put up. I'm actually confused as to why Mommy even fought back, even though from the stories of some of the bodyguards, since the beginning of Mommy's punishment she doesn't dare to fight Grandpa. Even facing or looking into Grandpa's eyes, Mommy doesn't dare." Jonathan explained. "Then, where did Aunty Quina go? Does she have somewhere to sleep tonight?" Joe asked, wanting to extract more information from his cousin. "I don't know because I didn't have time to ask Mommy either. Mommy chose to leave after being kicked out and she doesn't say anything either. But, I think Mommy must have somewhere to go whether it's a hotel or an inn to sleep tonight. Moreover, Grandpa also gave her money before Mommy." "So, that means aunty Quina didn't leave empty-handed, right?" Joe asked again, which was immediately greeted with a nod by Jonathan. "But why did Aunty prefer to go together with Aaron instead of looking fo
Rosetta rushed over to her daughter who had fallen and was moaning in pain. With shaky steps from shock, she struggled to help Jesslyn up. "Argh! It hurts!" Jesslyn cried out, her breathing labored and her face starting to turn pale. Rosetta was getting more and more worried and scared when she saw the condition that befell her daughter, her mind was too raging that she couldn't think clearly to find another way out so that her daughter could be saved immediately. Meanwhile, Zack, who didn't know that the impulse he was making had a very bad impact, immediately trembled. Instead of helping his sister, Zack pulled his mother and threatened the woman who had given birth to him. "Mommy, don't tell anyone what happened today! If you dare to do that, then I will act recklessly!" After saying that, Zack quickly left Rosetta who was rooted to the spot. The middle-aged woman's mind was raging, and her consciousness seemed to return after hearing Jesslyn moan for the last time before col
"We're sorry, your future child cannot be saved. Mrs. Jesslyn's condition is also still not improving, she is still in a critical condition and will have to be admitted into the ICU after this. This is because she was brought to the hospital too late, and the patient has already lost a lot of blood." The doctor's explanation was like a sledgehammer hitting Joe's heart. He sat down, then covered his face. Not long after, there was a numb voice. The man was crying, because he had to get such a painful fact when his life was already on top. Joe didn't expect that this painful thing could happen to him. And this time he couldn't do anything but wait for his wife's condition to improve. "Joe." Rosetta approached her son-in-law and put her hand on his shoulder as a form of transferring strength and encouragement.Honestly, in the deepest corner of her heart, Rosetta felt very guilty for having to lie about the real reason for Jesslyn's fall. However, she was forced to do this so that Zac
