âBut Ben wasnât too happy about that. As soon as he got home from work, if he didnât see the kids,
he felt empty inside. Even if the nanny was taking care of them, he couldnât sleep. When he heard
the kids crying, heâd get up and check on them.
He was worried the nanny wouldnât take good care of the kids. After less than two nights, he
brought the kids back to our room, and theyâve stayed with us ever since. But itâs better now. The
kids are a little older; they still sleep during the day, but not as much, and they donât mix up day and
night anymore.â
Serenity said, âIâm only having one baby. I think my husband and I can handle it ourselves. I also
plan to take care of the baby myself. When the child can walk and run, Iâll let the nanny help.â
Before the baby turns one, Serenity wanted to take care of it herself. Even though the nanny at
home was careful and kind, she still felt more comfortable doing it on her own.
Serenity added, âWhen Zachary has free time, he reads parenting books to prepare himself for
being a father.â
Jane smiled, âJust like Ben used to do.â
No wonder Ben and Zachary, despite not interacting much, trusted each other deeply, and the
business between their groups kept growing.
They were similar in many ways.
The two young women exchanged smiles, each appreciating the happiness in the otherâs life.
Whether it was Zachary or Ben, they were both exceptional men, leading their families with care
and dedication.
Despite their busy lives, they didnât neglect their families. They tried their best to be responsible
fathers and husbands.
As their wives, Jane and Serenity felt incredibly fortunate. It was no surprise that so many women
envied their lives. âGet some sleep. Good night.â
âGood night.â
After wishing each other good night, Jane and Serenity went back to their rooms to rest.
Meanwhile, Kathryn, far away in Jensburg, was still awake in the middle of the night.
Kathryn had turned off the roomâs main lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on.
She took her phone and started messaging Pedro, lowering the notification volume as if afraid
someone might hear.
It was late at night, and any small sound could be easily noticed by Clarissa.
Clarissa had returned, and Holden was allowed to stay for a while.
As Clarissa said, âItâs almost the New Year, and the family should be together.â
But she hadnât let her two daughters-in-law bring the children back; they were still in Holdenâs
hometown.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Erika, who hadnât divorced yet, was at her motherâs house, and Marcoâs
children were living with their mother at their grandparentsâ house.
Clarissa didnât send anyone to bring her in-laws back, nor did she go to Erika to apologize for her
son.
It seemed she didnât care whether her son and daughter-in-law divorced. If Erika wanted to divorce,
she could go ahead.
Clarissa felt overwhelmed with her own problems and didnât have the energy or focus to deal with
Marcoâs issues.
Strictly speaking, she felt guilty towards Erika. She had chosen all three daughters-inlaw for her
sons but allowed them to develop their own relationships. They only married when they were ready.
Who would have thought all three sons would cheat after getting married?
As the saying goes, âThe apple doesnât fall far from the tree.â Even Holden, despite his age, had
cheated.
Kathryn asked Pedro, âCan we find out where Mr. Dunn hides his gun? I donât know where my
motherâs gun is hidden. Iâve searched the whole mansion and couldnât find it.â If they could find the
hidden gun and have the police seize it, Clarissa and Mr. Dunn might go to jail, but at least they
wouldnât die.
Kathryn wasnât at the company when the police took Clarissa and Mr. Dunn away for questioning,
but she was the first to find out. She had then asked Pedro to investigate.
