"Well, I know him better than he knows himself...but that doesn''t matter anymore, you know? All I want now is to see Emily grow up healthy and happy. Nothing will make me happier than that! You''re already a nice surprise... You brought hope into my life and Emily''s!" "Don''t say that... You''ve been so good to me and taught me so much. I haven''t really done anything."


    "You''ve got your Silver Fox to protect us! With President Ingram around, I feel so much safer when I take Emily out for a walk every day, not like before when I was too scared to leave the house." "Haha...so my Silver Fox can do that, huh?"


    "Anyway, I''m not as scared as I used to be! I don''t really care for myself... I just don''t want anything to happen to Emily."


    "Does Emily know about Jeffrey?"


    "When we were abroad, I kept a picture of Jeffrey and myself in my purse. Aftering back to the country, I threw it away. She has seen that picture... I didn''t want to lie to her, so I told her it was her dad." "No wonder Emily called Jeffrey ''Dad'' as soon as she first met him!"


    Emily heard them talking about her and looked up smiling, "Daddy...Jeffrey."


    "Haha...Little Emily met Daddyst time!"


    "Mmm, his name is Jeffrey."


    "Yes, Jeffrey... Emily, is Daddy handsome?"


    "Yes!"


    Hearing this, Ashley felt a twinge of bitterness.


    Jeffrey''s charm isn''t just about his looks... The more she got to know him, the more she fell for him.


    They were never meant to marry.


    Having tidied the kitchen, Ashley dried her hands and joined Stephanie and Emily in the living room. Stephanie was engaged in a spirited conversation with Emily about Jeffrey.


    "Your dad has quite a character... Desiring to meet your mom but not knowing your address, he actually held me hostage in the car for hours! He insisted that I wouldn''t get to leave until I spilled the beans. It was Silver Fox''s birthday! I almost missed out on the celebration."


    Emily squinted her eyes, giggling, "Daddy is naughty. Emily will give him the silent treatment."


    "Absolutely! snub him! Such a nuisance!"


    "Affirmative!"


    Ashley couldn''t suppress her smile, "Honestly...you may give him my address next time. He wouldn''t dare to face me, and that''s a fact." His guilt towards her held him back.


    "I won''t be the one to tell him! It''s


    fine if he knows it, but what if

    and they uncover the truth?"


    At the mention of Reba, Ashley paled, "Then, better not..."


    If Reba was to find out about Emily, that would spell disaster.


    Suddenly, Stephanie interjected, "Something has been gnawing at my curiosity..." "What?"


    "Last time when I said that Jeffrey was a jerk, not worthy of having a daughter like Emily, and that he already had a son...he looked at me with aplicated expression and said that it wasn''t his son... Don''t you think it''s strange?" N?velDrama.Org content.


    Ashley''s face turned pale. She didn''t say anything, but some guesses came to her mind...


    "Aren''t you curious?"


    "I stopped caring about him a long time ago... Steph, don''t be too curious. Knowing too much won''t do you any good."
