Esther sat in Clark’s car, thinking about Jolene’s threat. She had warned that she would take off with the child if
Esther spoke the truth.
Esther found Jolene’s naivety amusing. She had already told Jolene that only people who genuinely cared about her
would be interested in her well-being. Bradley was a prime example. He had never cared about Esther—her
happiness or misery meant nothing to him.
Maybe it was a case of “birds of a feather”, but Esther didn’t want Jolene to endure what she had during her
pregnancy.
“Mommy, Grandpa Clark said Sunshine and Jacob are coming. Is that true?” Felix asked.
“Yeap!” Esther smiled at Felix, who was securely buckled into his safety seat beside her. “Are you excited?”
“I’m super happy.” Felix was an obedient and adorable child.

“Absolutely.”
Since Felix hadn’t grown up with Esther, she always tried to spoil him. After all, he was her own child. As a mother, it
was only natural to want to indulge him.
Esther held Felix’s hand as they entered the boutique. It was filled with exquisite gifts. Felix’s eyes lit up when he
spotted a sun-shaped ornament.
“Mommy, I want to give this to Sunshine!” Felix pointed at the cute sun ornament with excitement.
“You’ve got great taste.” Esther turned to the sales assistant and said, “Could you show us that sun ornament,
please? Thank you.”
The sales assistant had been engrossed in her phone and didn’t pay much attention to Esther and Felix’s entrance.
She replied indifferently. “This ornament is quite expensive. You probably can’t afford it.”
Felix puffed up his little chest and declared, “Who says I can’t afford it? I’m super rich!”
“Quit boasting! You’re just a kid. You can’t possibly be rich!” the sales assistant retorted impatiently.
Her game had ended due to that retort. She slammed her phone on the table and arrogantly said, “We only sell this
sun and star ornament as a set.”

“So, there’s another star-shaped ornament?”
The sales assistant glanced at Esther. She wore plain clothes without any branded logos and didn’t seem like a
wealthy customer. She assumed Esther couldn’t afford the expensive ornament.
“Show us the star one, too,” Esther requested. She felt the sales assistant’s condescension but chose not to react in
front of Felix.

“500,000 pesos?” Felix asked with curiosity.
“Do you think that’s possible?” the sales assistant said as she retrieved the star ornament, which was the same size
as the sun ornament and impeccably crafted.
“I’ll take both of these ornaments. Please put them in gift boxes,” Esther said.
The sales assistant sneered, “Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
The sales assistant smirked and sarcastically asked, “How are you planning to pay?”
Just as Esther was about to say “by card”, Jasper suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood before the sales
assistant. He asked sternly, “Is this how you treat customers?”
“Sir… Mr. Searle…” The sales assistant was taken aback by Jasper’s unexpected presence in the shop.
Felix raised his chubby little face and curiously asked, “Uncle Jasper, is this your store?”
