Jamie opened the car door. It was warm and cozy inside, but Yara's expression carried a hint of unease. After all, she was a sensitive person, and she could sense that Jamie's extraordinary enthusiasm tonight was all for that woman named Paityn.Yara had heard about the rumors between Jamie and Paityn before, but she had never paid them much mind. She believed her youth and beauty would keep her from being overshadowed by a woman in her thirties.Now, however, Yara felt uncertain. The way Jamie looked at Paityn was different. His gaze was filled with a complex mix of love and resentment.…Jamie sat in the car next to Yara. They were supposed to be engaged, but something unexpected had happened tonight. He stared into the night ahead, and his expression remained neutral. “Yara. I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you.”Yara guessed the reason. Her young eyes turned red, and there was a mix of frustration and hurt inside. Eventually, she asked with a hint of defiance, “Is it because o

As Paityn stepped on the gas pedal, her expression turned distant. She watched Carol happily dive into Jamie’s arms with no hesitation. It was a plain betrayal. The little girl went straight to his side! Paityn’s mood felt heavier as she sat in the front seat. She had no choice but to drive, pulling up in front of the small villa within seconds. Through the rearview mirror, she caught a glimpse of Jamie. However, he paid no attention to her. Instead, he carried Carol out of the car wordlessly.The soft yellow light from the wall lamp cast a warm glow, highlighting Jamie’s tall and steady figure. He walked away with calm and confident strides. It was clear Carol liked him very much. After all, her tiny arms were wrapped tightly around his neck while she peeked back at Paityn. Children often pick up on the unspoken tension between adults, and Carol seemed to sense the undercurrents between them.This was Paityn's house, and yet Jamie moved as if he were the master. The housekeeper

Some were cold, while others were lively.At the Bright Villa, tonight was the wedding night of Keaton and Yanni. His parents had moved to another house for the occasion and had thoughtfully taken Ella with them, promising to return her in a week. Gustavo said that Keaton should spend quality time with Yanni, especially since she rarely had such a long holiday because she was a doctor.Keaton and Yanni were grateful for his parents' thoughtfulness and they accepted this arrangement. As night fell, Keaton was downstairs dealing with various chores while Yanni went upstairs to remove his makeup and take a shower. After a long day, she surprisingly didn’t feel tired. She looked around the new house, taking in all the details.A gilded vanity had been added to her room. The furniture and curtains were replaced with softer hues. Keaton had redecorated everything according to Yanni’s preferences, including a larger and softer bed.After applying her skincare products, Yanni settled i

Jamie closed his eyes to rest for a moment. Some movement began downstairs. It was the babysitter starting her chores. Carol was in his arms, and she squirmed a bit. Perhaps it was because Jamie was holding her tightly, which made it difficult for her to escape, and that resulted in a hint of grievance. “I need to go to the bathroom.”Jamie woke up and opened his eyes to look at the child in his arms. Carol had shiny black hair that reached her ears, and her skin was fair and warm from a good night's sleep. Her narrow shoulders and small body made her particularly adorable, especially in the eyes of a father. Even though Carol could go to the bathroom by herself, Jamie still propped himself up and lifted her out of the blankets. Then, he carried her all the way to the bathroom. Carol felt a bit shy. After all, she was deeply enchanted by Jamie. Her tiny hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and she clung to him like a little koala. At that moment, she felt especially hap

Zoe replied, "With Jamie's low-key personality, do you really think he would have shared a toast with Yara in a situation like last night? He must have wanted to provoke someone."Mason quickly understood, "He's really good at hiding things."Zoe guessed that Jamie probably just found out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold it in for long. She didn't say much more because she heard familiar footsteps from the entrance. Then, Jamie came in carrying a cute little girl.Just as the household staff had said, the little girl was clearly a child of the Lockwood family.Mason felt a rush of excitement. He had envied the Sanders family for having Lola last night. Now, however, the Lockwood family suddenly had such a big addition. Hey, Carol looked to be at least four years older than Lola.Mason thought to himself that it didn't matter how successful Lorian's business was. He's still slightly behind Jamie when it comes to having children. For crying loud, Jamie’s child is already old
