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!
