Jay and Ariella entered Sweet buds restaurant with excitement.

They had just spent the whole day on a family outing, so there was so much excitement between them.

Ariella sat down and Jay dropped Jake on the sofa next to her.

Jake stood up while Ariella was distracted.

Suddenly Ariella turned in fright when she couldn't find Jake.

She looked around for him and even ran to Jay to let him know what happened.

It was at that instant that a frown appeared on her face.

Jake was carried away when he saw Ethan. He had obviously forgotten about all the hateful things that Ariella and Jay had told him.

Ethan couldn't help scooping him in his arms. He didn't know how much he had missed Jake until now. Even though he turned out not to be his child, he still cared about him either way.

“Baby, look over there! It's that good for nothing again and he's with Jake! She frowned her face in disgust.

I know you are upset but think….please..think about it.” She appealed to him calmly as she observed the murderous glare that his eyes held.“Why should I spare this fool?

    Ethan's phone rang for a few minutes before he picked up.The loud feminine voice from the other end forced a smile on his face.“Hey, slow down Sam, what are you saying? I can barely hear you when you yell like that.”“Okay, what I'm trying to tell you is that, for the first time in a long while, I finally had a good night's sleep!” Samantha sounded really excited, distracting him briefly.“You were right. Thank you…. thank you. I want to take you both to dinner tonight, my treat! I'm not taking a no for an answer. Send my regards to Loretta! Ciao!” She hung up almost immediately without waiting for a reply.Ethan smiled to himself.

She is now the opposite of herself!” One of the maids whispered to another.“Yeah, it's really weird to see her smiling and happy. Yesterday she even waved at me like she actually noticed me!” The other maid exclaimed with wide eyes.“I'm sure she's found some miracle drug that's keeping her head in the clouds! Feelings like that will eventually wear out!” The other maid scoffed.Samantha quickly checked her phone after she heard it ring. It was a message from some of her friends inviting her for a get-together and coincidentally it was going to be the blue fountain hotel!
