“Um… This child’s indeed behaving himself!” Rosalie thought and could not help but smile.
After noticing Zaid making a video call, Jennifer also demanded that she wanted to give Jonathan andFelix a video call.
“Jen, try to be good. It’s a secret between us for coming here. Didn’t I say not to tell Daddy for the timebeing? How about this? I will call Gary and ask him to find Felix so he can make a video call with you,”Rosalie said.
Rosalie made an agreement with the children that they could not tell Jonathan about their trip. As forthe true identity of Kaylie being their actual grandmother, Rosalie planned to wait until the children hadturned older before confessing to them.
After all, the grudges held between the adults could not be made clear with just a few words.
Hence, a moment later, Jennifer held Rosalie’s mobile phone and chatted with Felix on the other sideof the video excitedly.
Rosalie asked Guillermo, who was beside them, “Do you want to make a video call with someone? Ofcourse, other than Daddy.”
The little guy shook his head as he did not have any people he wanted to make video calls with. In fact,he could not understand why Zaid and Jennifer were so happy to make video calls.
It was as if the person they were making the video call with was very important to them.
However, to Guillermo, only Jonathan, Rosalie, Zaid, and Jennifer were truly important. Other peopledid not matter at all.
At night, Rosalie looked at the three children, who were already sound asleep, with a tiny smile on herface. Then, she took out her phone and sent Jonathan a text message.
She only sent a short message out: [We’re fine. No need to miss us.]
At the Youngblood residence, Jonathan looked at the message on his phone and gently brushed everyword shown on the screen with his long fingers.
“How could I not miss you? Rosalie, come back soon. I miss you,” he murmured.
He missed her very much. He missed the warmth of her body, her breath, and everything.
“Good night,” he slowly spat out the two words and kissed the message from Rosalie across the screenof his phone.
“We’re fine. No need to miss us.”
“We’re fine. No need to miss us.”
However, every word seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind, and his heart was filled with the word“miss.”
In a famous five-star luxurious presidential suite in Strico, a tall and handsome man looked at thephotos on the coffee table one by one. All the figures shown in the photos were Felix.
However, not a single one of the photos showed the child looking directly at the camera. It was evidentthat all these photos were taken secretly.
“Is this the child Yvette gave birth to?” the man asked.
“Yes, but I’m not 100% sure. Yvette is dead, so we can’t perform DNA testing.” Standing in front of theother man was a lean man in his 40s with a messy beard, and he was the famous private detective in
Strico, David Field.
“It doesn’t matter. What I want to prove is not about the child’s relationship with Yvette. Find a way toget
the child’s blood or hair samples.” the man said.
“It’s not a big problem,” David said. After all, in his opinion, the child was just a kid fostered by theYoungblood family, so he did not think the task would be difficult.novelbin
“One more thing. I don’t want a third party to know about this matter. If I find out in the future that youhave disclosed it to others, you should know the consequences for doing that,” the man said coldly.
David was stunned and hurriedly responded, “Sure, of course. I understand your meaning. I won’t letanyone else know!”
Lillian had been living a very contented life these days. She accompanied her parents to visitSloummont during the daytime, acting like she was a guide for them to prepare a travel guide andarrange their travel
routes.
If she had not been pregnant now, she would have followed her parents to every major tourist attractionin Sloummont.
On the other hand, she had also become a regular guest staying in Callum’s office. Now, no onestopped her anymore, and even her entry into Callum’s office had become unobstructed.
“Ms. Quinn, Mr. White is having a meeting. He said if you had come, you can directly enter his office towait for him,” said the secretary.
As soon as Lillian entered the office and put down her bag, her phone rang. She picked up the call andrealized it was from Jerick.
Speaking of which, she and Jerick had not talked for a long time, but when she came to Sloummont tofind Callum, she had chatted with Jerick on the Internet for a while, with the latter even wishing her amake-up with Callum sooner.
“Jerick, is there anything you need from me to make this call right now?” Lillian asked. After all, logicallyspeaking, it should be Jerick’s working hours at this time.
“It’s just… I want to ask how you’ve been lately. Have you made up with Mr. White?” Jerick’s voicesounded a little dry.
“Kind of,” Lillian answered.
“If so… then…” Jerick hesitated to speak as if there was something difficult to express.
“What’s wrong? If you have anything to say, just tell me,” Lillian said. “We haven’t known each other fora long time, but we are still considered friends, right?”
The other end of the phone remained silent for a long time. “Lillian, you’re a good woman. I never wantto hurt you, but I… I… Anyway, I’m sorry! Lillian, I’m sorry!”
After saying that, Jerick abruptly ended the call.
Lillian stared at her phone with a puzzled look. She thought, “What did he mean by that? Why did hesuddenly say sorry to me? But the problem is that he did not do anything wrong to me at all!”
Lillian then called Jerick’s phone back, wanting to find out what was happening. However, at the otherend of the phone, there was only a burst of busy tones followed by a message indicating that the other
party’s phone was powered off.
Lillian frowned and felt a little uneasy, so she dialed the number again without giving up.
It was still the same result as last time.
“What? Do you have something to ask Jerick?” Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ear.
Just as Lillian looked up, she realized that Callum had walked into the office and stood next to her. Sheasked the man, “Are you done with your meeting?”
“Yeah.” He asked, “Do you often talk on the phone with Jerick?”
There was an obvious sense of jealousy in the man’s voice. Lillian hurriedly cut off the call and replied,“I
don’t. It’s just that he called me just now and said something unclear. He didn’t make his messageclear, so I want to clarify with him again.”
“Something unclear?” Callum raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed to be interested. “What kind ofthings he had said?”
“He just asked me about my relationship with you, and then he told me that I’m a good woman, evenapologizing to me over and over.” Anyway, she was currently confused.
A gleam of light flashed in Callum’s eyes. “You and Jerick seem to know each other from a blind date.”
There was a vague sense of danger in the words. Lillian shivered and stared at Callum. “You… Youmind about that?
