Chapter 7


    Melissa clung to his arm and deliberately leaned against him as she asked worriedly, “When did you


    return, Jessica? Why didn’t youe home? Dad has been missing you like crazy! By the way, the


    Gulliford family will be having a banquet tomorrow night. Trevor and his parents will be present. Will


    you being too, Jessica?” Her coquettish act formed a huge contrast to her vicious behavior back in


    prison. “I…” Jessica was about to turn her down, but nodded obediently when she saw the look on


    Trevor’s face. “Okay.” In order to ensure her survival, she had to attend that banquet even if the


    Jackson residence would be filled with dangerous people. “Great! I’m sure Dad will be really happy!”


    Melissa eximed happily like an innocent little girl. She was indeed really happy as she would get to


    witness Jessica’s suffering. That was especially the case since Jessica had caused the death of


    Samantha, so Trevor’s parents would never let her off the hook. Having recalled something, Melissa


    added, “Since we’re all here, how about you help Trevor and I pick out a wedding ring? We’ve spent a


    lot of time trying to find a nice one, but to no avail. Even Old Mr. Gulliford has joined us to help out


    today, so will youe with us too?” Jessica tightened her grip on the magazine in her hands. She


    could tell that Melissa was trying to spite her with how much Maximilian valued their marriage.


    However, Jessica couldn’t care less about that at all. The only thing that mattered to her was her


    children. “Someone get Ms. Jackson to apany my fiancée while she picks out a wedding ring!”


    Trevor ordered coldly while ring at Jessica, who had escaped the house. Upon receiving his


    command, one of Trevor’s subordinates stepped forward and dragged Jessica to the jewelry store.


    Upon entering the jewelry store, Jessica quickly excused herself to the restroom. After making sure no


    one was looking, she secretly gave Monica a call and had her pick up the kids from the children’s


    clothing store. Given how Trevor hated her enough to feed her kids to the dogs, she couldn’t imagine


    the cruel things he would do if he found out they were still alive. Jessica couldn’t afford to let those kids


    be in any danger whatsoever. While waiting outside the store, Maximilian frowned when he saw the


    gloomy look on Trevor’s face. “Stop sulking, will you? I’ve been asking you to get married and have


    children for five years, but you kepting up with excuses to dy it each time. Well, you have no


    excuse now that I’ve personallye here to help pick out the wedding ring! I’m not getting any


    younger, you know? If you don’t get me grandchildren soon, I’ll end up dying without ever seeing them!”


    “Hi, mister! Have you seen my mommy? She looks really pretty with her big eyes and tiny mouth! She’s


    wearing white today!” The two of them spun around when they heard the cute, childish voice behind


    them. Trevor froze when he saw Asher. Despite not liking children in general, he found himself


    inexplicably taking pity on him. “Hi there, little boy. Do you need me to help call the police?” “My


    goodness! This boy looks just like you when you were a kid, Trevor!” Maximilian eximed as he


    traced his fingers over Asher’s cheek. An old butler standing next to them chimed in with a smile,


    “Yeah. Look at his tiny nose and mouth. He looks exactly like you when you were little, Mr. Gulliford!


    Seeing him makes me feel like I’ve gone back in time to your childhood days!” Trevor furrowed his


    brows upon hearing that and took a closer look at Asher.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
