Chapter 89


    Jude ced Juniper on herp and asked her, “Juniper, are you unhappy? If you don’t want to talk


    with your mommy, you can always tell me about it.”


    Upon hearing that, Juniper lowered her gaze and fell into a short silence. “Aunt Jude, too many


    things have happened after we moved here. Did Mommy tell you about Mr. Handsome?”


    “Yes, she did. I know everything that has happened over here. Just tell me what’s on your mind.”


    “Jameson Fowler has note to school for two days. I heard that he is sick from high fever, and I


    am worried about him.”


    Coincidentally, Selena was done with the dishes and came out just in time to overhear Juniper’s


    words.


    “Mommy told me that their adult problems have nothing to do with us kids. To be honest, I am not


    mad at the twins anymore, but I still pretend like I do. However, he’s sick now and I am very worried.


    I want to visit him but I am afraid to ask Mommy.”


    Selena stood there frozen in surprise and did not take another step forward.


    A child’s world is full of innocence. As much as Selena wanted to protect Juniper’s innocence,


    visiting Jameson would mean meeting Pierre again. Unfortunately, it was not the right time for them


    to meet each other.


    When Jude heard that, she shed aforting smile at Juniper. “Maybe he will get better by


    tomorrow. Don’t you think so? If he is sick, he might infect you when you visit him. And if you fall


    sick too, your mommy will be very worried.”


    Of course, Jude understood theplications that might arise, so she tried her best to talk Juniper


    out of visiting her friend.


    Although Juniper was disappointed, she still nodded obediently at Jude. “Alright.”


    At night, after Juniper fell asleep, Selena slumped onto the sofa in a wistful mood. Jude joined her


    and gave her aforting pat on the shoulder.


    “Perhaps you should make time and bring Juniper to visit her friend.” Even though Jude had clearly


    denied Juniper’s request, she shared Selena’s thoughts as well. We cannot ruin the children’s


    innocent perception of the world.


    “Why does it have to happen at this juncture? How should I face him?” Selena’s voice sounded


    hoarse. As she spoke, she covered her face in exasperation, and the problem added to her


    throbbing headache.

    If it had not been for the emergency call Pierre received that night, she would have slept with him.


    After she had learned about the truth, she could not see Pierre’s request in the same light anymore.


    She was more hesitant to sleep with him for the ‘second time’ now when they had never done the


    deed all along.


    At the height of this mess—when she was still in the dark about Pierre’s feelings—how could she


    visit Jameson? It is too risky to do so.


    “Do give it some consideration. I’m too drained. I’ll have to sleep now!” Jude was tired from the


    ne trip earlier, and she was at the end of her wits regarding Selena’s awkward situation anyway.


    After Jude had left for her bedroom upstairs, Selena was left alone on the sofa, and she fell into


    deep thoughts for a long time.


    Meanwhile, at the Fowler Residence, Jameson’s recurring fever went well into its third day. For the


    past three days, everyone in the entire household had been walking on thin ice because John was


    always on the verge of blowing up. Any slight disturbance would trigger him and cause another


    round of yelling.


    Meredith turned down all her scheduled work and camped at the Fowler Residence to keep an eye


    on Jameson.


    Sleep-deprived for three days, she had lost all the radiance of a movie star. However, her


    disheveled look was proof of her motherly love, and her selfless sacrifice won the approval of the


    entire Fowler Family.


    She stared into her reflection in the mirror and mocked herself. Ugh, you’re a disgusting mess! In


    normal times, she always strived to maintain a polished image, and had never allowed herself to


    ck off on the upkeep of her appearance.


    Clutching her fists tightly, she stood in front of the mirror and tried her best to suppress the anger in


    her. “We’re heading into the third day. His fever should go down by today. Meredith Yard, keep calm


    and carry on!” She secretly cheered for herself. Also, she recalled the conversation between John


    and Helen that day which she had eavesdropped on. He brought up my name to Helen, and I


    believe they are considering my marriage to Pierre!
