I spoke slowly and clearly, “Jessica, you should know very well.”
Alter Casper went bankrupt, Jessica abandoned him without hesitation. She would rather be a mistress just to stay with Steven. This showed she couldn’t bear to live without money. y man to support her. Other men might not

That was why Jessica would do everything possible to stay by his side.
“Annalise!” Jessica didn’t expect me to threaten her, and her face turned grim.
I calmly urged, “I don’t have much time”
Jessica gritted her teeth just as I was about to turn and leave, she blurted, “I’m sorry.”
I turned back “Whoever did wrong should apologize, right?”
Jessica harbored a deep resentment toward me. But for her and her son’s future, she had no choice but to endure. She dragged her son forward. “Apologize to this little girl!”
Her son refused to speak. Seeing that I was about to leave with Willow, Jessica slapped her son twice and said, “Are you ignoring my words, too?”
He immediately started crying. “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said those things!”
I knelt down and looked at Willow. “Do you accept his apology?”
Willow shook her head. She then hugged me tightly without saying a word. I stood up, gently patting her back to comfort her. “Let’s go
then.”
Jessica was clearly protective of her child. “Does your daughter not even know how to say it’s okay?”
“Your son was the one who said something inappropriate to my daughter first.”
I held Willow in my arms. “He is supposed to apologize since he has done something wrong. As for my daughter…”
I looked at Willow. She had her arms wrapped around my neck and didn’t even dare to meet my gaze.
“She can choose to forgive him or not. That’s her right.” With that, I walked away with Willow in my arms.
Zane followed behind us.
“Mommy…”We had walked quite a distance before Willow finally spoke.
She had always been considerate of me. Usually, she didn’t want me to carry her for too long, worried that I would get tired. But this time, she didn’t let go of me.

I wasn’t in a hurry to put her down. Upon hearing her voice, I patiently asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I love you so much,” Willow spoke softly, hiding her face shyly against my neck. “Being with you makes me feel so happy.”
When others targeted her and did bad things, I would stand up for her and make those people say sorry. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
I chuckled softly. “Is that so
Willow rubbed her face gently against my neck. “Yes.”
Leaving the small playground, Willow suddenly found that the amusement park wasn’t so fun anymore.
Initially, she had wanted to show off that she had a great mommy. But there were always unpleasant people around, saying rude things and annoying her. So she decided to go home and spend some rare, happy time with Zane and me. At noon, Zachary was home alone. He grew hungry and ate all the leftover sandwiches from the morning while crying.
Usually, when I was around, his meals would always be hot. But now, he could only eat cold food.
The door swung open. Zachary ran to the entrance excitedly and shouted, “Daddy,y having a miserable time at home?” you’re back.. Do you
