After a moment, he pulled away, his breathing heavy. “I love you, Paige!”
Paige was taken aback. “What?”
“I said, I love you!” Alex declared earnestly.
For a moment, Paige was stunned, and then she burst into laughter. “You said it!”
She playfully tugged at Alex’s tie and kissed him deeply.
Their passionate kiss continued until the elevator suddenly opened.
An elderly man standing outside dropped his garbage bag in astonishment at the sight before him.
Startled by the noise, Paige and Alex abruptly released each other when they noticed the old man.
The old man chuckled. “Go on Go on…”
On Wednesday, at MK.
Reuben updated Noah, “Mr. De Marco, Kenny is staying in the villa owned by Ms. Alisa Kudrov from Ylesir.
Noah frowned and said, “Alisa?”
Reuben said, “She is known as the Textile Tycoon of Ylesir and is currently monopolizing the entire Eurossian fabric market.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Have neither of them left the villa these days?”
Reuben nodded. “Yes, the service staff went grocery shopping. We followed them and discovered they bought adult items.”
When a man and a woman stayed in a villa for an extended period and purchased adult products,
Kenny lived up to his reputation of being G
When Noah thought about Kenny being with another woman, he seemed to relax.
Reuben said, “There’s something else, Mr. De Marco.”
“Go ahead.”
“Our subsidiary in Deckrive City has just received a batch of flawed diamonds. The VP claimed that your presence is needed there.”
Noah’s gaze dimmed. “Book a flight for tomorrow.
“Yes, regarding Mr. De Marco Jr…”
Noah pondered briefly. I’ll pick him up this afternoon and drop him at River’s ”
At TYC
River and Naomi were getting ready to go to the factory when River received a text from
Freya
Freya told River that Jamie was looking for her. River thought Jamie might be having another episode, so she quickly called Freya.
Anxiously, River asked when Freya answered. “How is Jamie, Dr. Bailey?”
Freya replied, sounding helpless, “Jamie was making a scene, saying she wanted to see you and refusing to eat or take her medicine.”
River requested, “Please put Jamie on the phone so I can talk to her.”
Freya handed the phone to Jamie, and the latter asked, “River‘ Where are you? I’m coming to find.
you.”
River explained, “Jamie, I’m on my way to the factory. It’s really busy there, so I can’t bring you along.”
“No! I don’t want to stay home. I want to go with you to the factory! I promise I’ll behave and won be a bother,” Jamie said, her voice filled with tears.
River frowned. There were many machines in the factory, so she couldn’t bring Jamie along for safety reasons
However, Jamie’s reluctance posed a problem.
River sighed and told Naomi, “Please let the department heads in the supply chain know to go commitment.”
Naomi replied, “I can handle it on my own.”
River smiled. “You’ll still need to visit the factory later this afternoon to ensure the construction company’s workers show up. Your assistance on–site is crucial, and I can’t feel at ease having someone else take on that task.
River observed Naomi’s reaction, but all she received was an indifferent nod
She turned her gaze away and gently patted Naomi’s shoulder. “I appreciate your efforts. Once the company is in a better state, I’ll ensure you receive a raise.”
“Thank you, Ms. Healy, Naomi replied.
River hurried back to Bayview Villa and took Jamie outside for some fresh air. Treating Jamie to a meal outside was the key to getting her to take her medicine.
Seeing Jamie’s improved spirits, River reassured her, “I understand that staying home can be dull, Jamie. However, I need to work to earn money. I promise to take you out every weekend and go for walks with you at night when I’m free. Will that be acceptable?”
Jamie looked at River with a touch of sadness “River, did I disrupt your work today?”
River answered frankly, “Yes”
She didn’t shy away from being honest with Jamie because she needed to resolve this situation. Otherwise, she would end up sacrificing her job productivity whenever Jamie was in a bad mood.
River had always excelled at separating professional and personal matters.
Jamie lowered her head. “River, I…”
“Jamie, you don’t understand my current situation well enough, and it’s possible that I was overly stern earlier. However, I believe that you can do it because I need to make money to support all of you, right?”
Jamie pursed her lips. “So, you can’t take me out to play every day.”
River said, “That’s right. I can only rest during the weekend.”
Jamie pondered for a long time before she nodded. “I understand. I won’t disturb you from working from now on.”
River felt relieved. “Hmm, come with me to pick the children up from school later.”
Jamie’s eyes lit up. “Sure! Let’s pick up Ty and Lia!”
River and Jamie drove to the kindergarten in the evening to pick up the kids. Many parents were already waiting at the entrance, so River did not let Jamie out of the car.
River stood to the side to avoid any conflict upon meeting Noah.
After Noah departed with Axel, she guided Tyler and Liora to the car.
Excitedly, the two children started chatting with Jamie when they saw her in the car.

“Why are you here to pick us up today?” Liora cuddled Jamie’s arm.
Jamie hugged Liora and said, “I missed you, so I came to see you, Lia.”
Liora giggled. “Why didn’t you help us watch those bad people?”
Jamie was confused. “Hmm, who are those people?”
Tyler reminded her, “Those who are living at our home.”
Jamie nodded. “I shall watch them for you tomorrow then!”
“That’s right, watch those bad people to prevent them from bringing other bad people into the house! Please watch our Legos, too!”
“Sure!”
After listening to their conversation, River smiled and thought about how only Liora could get
Jamie to stay home..
After arriving at Bayview Villa, River noticed Noah’s Maybach parked at the yard.
“Why is Noah here? she wondered in astonishment
Jamie had already exited the car before River could gather her thoughts.
Noah was still inside the car. He instantly noticed Jamie’s figure and frowned. He then stepped out of the vehicle.
swiftly
But before he could utter a word, Liora hopped out of the car and called, “Wait for me, Madam.”
River soon emerged from the car, perplexed. She frowned upon realizing Noah was seemingly lost in thought while gazing at Jamie.
Holding Tyler’s hand, River approached Noah and casually asked, “What brings you here?”
River’s voice startled Noah, bringing him back to reality. He gazed at her solemnly and asked,
Why is my mother at your house?”
River was stunned. “Your mother?*
River quickly glanced at Jamie as if recalling something. Noah’s eyes resembled Jamie’s when compared.
