Sitting in the car, Jessica had her eyes closed. For once, she wasn’t frowning and even looked a little relaxed.
Lately, Chris had been quite well–behaved–eating and sleeping at home.
However, his luggage was still at the dormitory, and even when it came to sleeping, he insisted on staying in the guest room
alone.
He was only forced back to the master bedroom after Jessica casually remarked that Michael had once slept in the guest room, which disgusted him enough to leave.
Watching Chris stand dumbfounded at the guest room door before angrily turning to go back to the master bedroom, Jessica trad laughed at the doorway.

But then there was Michael.
It seemed Jordan had used Michael’s phone to message her, calling her “Mommy” and asking why the she hadn’t visited lately.
There was even a voice message.
Jessica tapped it, a bit slow to react.
Jordan’s childish voice called out, “Mommy.”
Shannon immediately frowned.
Jessica didn’t reply. She simply turned off the screen.
“I put Jennifer Bundred by Michael’s side. Didn’t you suspect the overseas business in recent years had been undercut by the Hall family?”

In the dirn light, Jessica’s lips curved slightly.
How could the CEO of the Wilder Group be some love–struck fool?
Even if she had loved Michael five years ago, she wouldn’t have been completely unguarded.
