Chapter 39
A week passed by in the blink of an eve
In the past week, the Walkers had repeatedly sent people to rescue Trent, but none of them returned
The people they sent did not just fail to rescue Trent they could ret even set foot in Jade Manor. They were all killed outside the mano by the Four Elders of the Cole family
The atmosphere at the Walker Mansion became more are grave. They failed to get any useful formation and they lost & number of people.
Morgan sat in the center of the living room, looking at the information his subordinate brought to him with a sullen expression. The frosty air he exuded got stronger the more be read
In the end, he threw the papers on the floor and kicked the
subordinate standing in front of him The subordinate fell a few meters away from him.
“Useless! You’re all a bunch of worthless crap it’s been days yet you failed to get any useful information. What’s the point of keeping you around?” Morgan bellowed.
Jonas went up to pick up the papers on the floor. The more he saw the more shocked he was. With a solemn expression, he said,
Morgan, someone who’s highly skilled in combat is probably watching over the Jade Manor.”
Morgan looked grim as he heard that. Then, he said angrily, “We’ll
have to make other arrangements.”
Everyone else at the Walker Mansion looked somber. The
atmosphere at the Jade Manor, however, was completely opposite.
Liam had been spending time with Jovie and Celena every day.
He had never spent a day with Jovie ever since she was born. After spending the past seven days together, Jovie and Liam’s relationship
got stronger.
However, Liam and Celena were a little too cold to each other. They had not met for seven years, and they had hardly spoken to each other before that.
They had plenty to say to each other after they had a daughter, but they always lacked the right moment to do so.
After Celena calmed down, she was even running away from Liam.
She felt very conflicted whenever she saw Liam.
She had hated him for the past seven years. She hated the misfortune he had caused her. However, she also missed him at the same time. She had no idea why Liam was all she could think of either.
In the past few years, whenever she experienced hardship and found it hard to keep going, she always hoped that Liam could return to her.
However, he never did. Never once in those seven years did he come back to her. The high hopes she once had for Liam disappeared after she was disappointed over and over again.
At first, she thought that was it for her. However, when she was in despair this time, Liam returned. Because of that, her heart, which had been broken to pieces, was full of hope again. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
It had been so many years that she had no idea what to say.
She did not know if Liam had fallen in love with another woman in
those seven years or if he was married with children. If he was, she would be bothering him, would she not?

At the thought of that, Celena’s and Liam’s relationship became more and more awkward. That was why she was subconsciously avoiding spending time with him. As a result, they never had a proper conversation for the past week.
At that moment, Liam and Celena were spending time with Jovie in
her room.
With Dr. Jensen’s treatment and the meticulous care given daily, Jovie’s injuries healed very quickly. The only exception was her legs. After all, her bones were broken, so she still needed more time to
recover.
Jovje was beaming while holding a fluffy stuffed bunny at that
moment. She looked at Liam from time to time and said in a sweet voice, “This is the first toy Dad gave me. I like this bunny very much.” She chuckled.
Liam felt warm and fuzzy inside as he looked at Jovie, smiling
without a care in the world. He rubbed Jovie’s head dotingly and said, ” I’ll give you even more presents in the future. I’ll buy you whatever you like, alright?”
“Really? You’re the best, Dad!” Jovie said in excitement. Liam’s words made Jovie incredibly happy.

As Celena sat next to them, she could not help but glare at Liam. She felt a little helpless as she said, “How can you just give her whatever she wants? You’ll spoil her rotten.”
