Chapter 454

Esther expressed her concerns directly.

[This piece of evidence is extremely crucial, and I won’t tell you about it for now.]

[If Bradley’s unwilling to divorce me, he’ll definitely try to bribe people around you to obtain. the evidence we currently have. But those pieces of evidence are not important. What matters is what I have in my possession.]

Tanya: [Ms. Quill, I understand.]

Seeing that Esther was unwilling to reveal the evidence to her and understanding her concerns, she did not press further.

Esther used to live in another person’s house and never really felt like it was her home. Now, she sat in a chair and looked at the faraway buildings, feeling a little nervous. She wondered what the results of the new DNA test Jasper had arranged would reveal.

Just then, Esther’s phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

“Esther, the DNA test is in progress. I requested the expedited version, and the results will be available within 24 hours.”

Esther’s tone was gentle as she replied, “Jasper, I’m at Primus Mansion. Would you like to have lunch together?”

“Sure.”

After finishing her face mask, Esther put on an elegant dress. She had given herself a thorough.

skincare treatment before going to the kitchen.

Even though Melinda’s background was in nursing, it was only because it paid relatively well. Her food was simple but surprisingly tasty. She brought out one delicious dish after another, placing them on the dining table.

Knowing Felix’s preference for shrimp balls, Esther fried some crispy yet tender eggplant shrimp balls for him. Felix and Jasper walked in through the entrance as she brought the dish out.

“Mommy!”

Esther looked tenderly at Felix, jumping around like a little rabbit, and smiled warmly. “Felix, Mommy made your favorite shrimp balls.”

“I love you, Mommy!”

After spending time with Sunshine, Felix had picked up a sweet tongue as if he were coated in honey.

“I love you too.”

Esther looked at Jasper with a gentle smile and said, “Jasper, have a seat. Let’s eat.”

“Okay.”

After Jasper and Felix wiped their hands with sanitized wet towels, they sat down at the table.

to eat.

Before, Melinda was unaware of Bradley’s terrible treatment of Esther. She used to think traditionally, believing they should stay together because they had a child. But when she found out about Bradley’s bold actions, she changed her mind.

The world had many men, and Esther was wonderful. She would definitely find someone. better, someone who would value her more.

Thus, when Jasper came into Esther’s life, Melinda welcomed him warmly. Jasper, the capable CEO who had admired Esther secretly for years, was now by her side.

“Jasper, thank you for your help during this time.”

Jasper answered gently, “It’s as if you’re treating me like an outsider by saying that, Esther.”

“No, don’t misunderstand me.” Esther appeared slightly vexed. “Bradley still doesn’t know. that Felix is alive. Do you think he’ll demand a custody battle during the divorce if he finds out?”

Jasper’s gaze was intense as he looked at Esther. “Esther, you already have the answer when you ask this.”

“That’s why I want to temporarily keep Felix hidden.” Esther was not entirely clear on how to ensure she could obtain Felix’s custody. “After the divorce with Bradley is settled, then Felix can appear.”

Jasper coughed lightly. “Esther, I don’t agree with your idea. Have you thought about it? If you divorce Bradley and only then confirm that Felix is alive, Bradley can appeal at any time. It’s better to address everything at once instead of going through the hassle of another legal battle later.

“I consulted Ms. Hill. When divorce is granted for cases like yours and Bradley’s, the judge will allocate custody based on Felix’s age. Since Felix is young, there’s a high chance you’ll be granted custody.

Moreover, the judge will also consider Felix’s preference. As long as Felix wants to live with you, you’ll be granted full custody of him.”
