Jolene wiped her tears and said with anguish, “He provided me with a home and sought justice for me.
“He helped my aunt and uncle to divorce, and my aunt started her successful business.
“He arranged a tutor to assist me in catching up on my studies and encouraged me to work hard.
“He’s like both a brother and a father. He was my first love back when I was just starting to understand my feelings.
“I… I dream of marrying him. Even if everyone thinks he’s a bad guy, he’s a good person to me.”
Esther sat down beside Jolene and spoke gently. “Is this sudden feeling of deep love, or is it gratitude? You have a
long life ahead…”
“I love him very much,” Jolene looked at Esther with teary eyes and said firmly, “I’d give my life for him!”
“So, what’s the situation with… this child?”
Esther sensed that Chadwick probably didn’t remember any prior involvement between them.

Esther didn’t press her further and asked softly, “What’s your name?”
“Jolene Moss.”
“Alright, I’ll call you Jojo from now on, okay?”
“Sure.”
Esther realized her understanding of Chadwick was too superficial. Despite his tough exterior, he had a kind side.
However, she had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. She couldn’t figure it out at the moment, so she
decided to put it out of her mind.
As Esther was about to remind Jolene to remove her makeup, she noticed Jolene had already fallen asleep.
Esther went to the bathroom, grabbed some makeup remover, and gently cleaned Jolene’s face.
The room was warm, so Jolene wouldn’t catch a cold even if she slept on the floor. Still, Esther fetched a thin
blanket to cover her.
Between returning to the Pendletons and staying there, Esther hesitated for less than a second before deciding to
stay. She didn’t want to be under the same roof as Bradley. She feared witnessing his excessive care for Mandy and
dreaded him mistreating her again.
They would be at the Pendletons’.
She didn’t want that. She was also afraid she would be blamed when it was exposed.
Esther slept for a while and woke up early. She went to the kitchen and found the fridge almost empty, containing
only skincare products and face masks.
There were no groceries at all.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEsther didn’t want to return to the Pendletons, so she used her phone to find a nearby supermarket with imported
goods. She decided to make a trip and bought groceries, such as rice, spaghetti, oil, eggs, meat, vegetables, and
fruits, filling up an entire shopping cart.
The supermarket staff kindly delivered the groceries to the roadside.
Just as Esther was about to hail a taxi, Bradley’s car pulled over by the side of the road.
Bradley was sitting in the back seat, his expression stern as he ordered, “Get in!”
Esther hesitated but eventually got in.
Bradley warned coldly, “Esther, do you want me to get out and drag you in?!”
Esther looked at the large bags on the ground and hesitated to leave them behind. She reluctantly began moving
the items into the back seat slowly.
Once the bags were placed there, the back seat felt even more cramped.
Bradley gazed at the bags of groceries, his deep eyes filled with anger.
Had Esther spent the night away from home to enjoy an intimate moment with Chadwick?
