I thought Hayden would say something to me, but instead, he told the driver. To the Jackson residence.”
“Where?” I was taken aback, wondering if I’d misheard him.
Hayden turned to look at me. “Yosef called and asked us to come back for dinner tonight.”
“Why didn’t he tell me?” I was shocked. I had made it clear I wouldn’t go back to that house. I didn’t expect him to go behind my back and contact Hayden directly,
That’s your issue,” Hayden replied, his tone as cool as always
I stared at him, “You’re going too?”
Hayden glanced my way without answering His look suggested he thought I was asking a stupid question.
I was still trying to wrap my head around it when the car started heading toward the Jackson residence. It took me a moment to calm down. Hayden was probably going to see Joanna, wasn’t her
Yosef usually stayed out of my matters, so it had to be Sophia’s doing. Sure enough, as soon as we got home. Sophia greeted Hayden warmly
“Mr. Parker, please come in Joanna mentioned you didn’t come in when you visited last time, and I felt bad about it.” Sophia’s attitude toward Hayden was as friendly as a mother–in–law welcoming her son-in–law.
1 was in a hurry last time,” Hayden replied calmly
The more Sophia looked at him, the more she admired him. She quickly turned to Joanna. “Joanna, hurry and bring out the fruit”
“I’m on it,” Joanna said with a smile, heading to the kitchen.
I watched their interactions, feeling a mix of emotions. I hadn’t even divorced Hayden yes, and they were all so eager to please him. I wondered if my mother felt the same sadness lack then.
Yosef was sitting on the sofa, and when he saw me standing silently, he called our eagerly, “Yvonne, why are you just standing there? Come sit with
I didn’t want to sit next to Yosef, but my only other option was Hayden
Just then, Joanna came out with a platter of fruit. The fruit today is so fresh. Mr. Parker, you should eat more
She sauntered over and sat down right next to Hayden, acting particularly intimately,
Yosef noticed and his expression stiffened. After all, Hayden and I weren’t officially divorced yet, and Joanna’s actions felt inappropriate. But Sophia seemed satisfied.
I had no intention of competing with them, I was about to head upstairs to look through my mother’s belongings when Hayden suddenly called our, Yvonne, come here.”
My steps suddenly stopped, and I almost froze in place. With some effort, I nimed back to see Joanna’s eyes wide with shock. She probably didn’t expect that even after she approached so eagerly, Hayden would still think of me
Sophia gritted her teeth, glaring at me as if her eyes could shoot fire.
Hayden, on the other hand, remained calm, his deep eyes showing no emotion.
I couldn’t quite figure him out. Shouldn’t he be enjoying his time with Joanna right now! Was he holding back because of my father? That seemed
ипперемагу.
1 hesitated for a moment, and Yosef chimed in, “Yvonne, come op?
I hadn’t planned to join their little gathering, but seeing the expressions on Joanna and Sophia’s faces was amusing. Suddenly, I felt a mischievous impulse–watching them get annoyed secured pretty entertaining
Smer Sophia had hurt and tormented my mother back then, I thought I deserved some payback. With that in mind, I walked over and sat on Hayden’s other side. What a sight—both his wife and his mistress were right next to lum
Yosef took in the situation and asked, “Yvonne, I heard you Marted working at Parker Group!”

Ad–Frem Bonding
Chapter 30
“Yeah, just a secretary for Mr. Parker, I replied, deliberately emphasizing the last part.
When I married into the Parker family, I had brought the Jackson family’s electronic technology. To show their sincerity, the Parker family gave m some shares.
Now, with Haysden asking me in be his secretary, it felt like he was taking advantage of me. I said this on purpose to see how he would explain it to my father.
Yoset’s expression changed slightly at my words.
Haysden quickly responded, “Grandpa said Yvonne and I haven’t seen each other for a while. Working together would help strengthen our relationship.”
That was such a blunt statement–it almost made my scalp tingle.
Yosef smiled, nodding eagerly, “Mr. Xander Parker is truly thoughtful”
Meanwhile, Joanna’s jaw tightened with jealousy, but she didn’t dare to show it, looking to Sophia for backup. She didn’t have as many tricks up her sleeve as her mother and didn’t know how to handle the situation.
Sophia’s eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a plan. Joanna is also working at Parker Group now. With Yvonne and Hayden looking after her, Lean relax.
With th
that, she moved over and sat next to Yosef. “Thear, from now on, our family should live happily together.”
“Yeah Jona is also with the Parker Group. You two sisters should suppon each other Yosef nodded enthusiastically. He really wanted a happy family. After all, he had remarried, and life had to move on.
I glanced back at Joanna, who looked like she was about to explode with rage, She had her heart set on marrying Hayden, hut now she could only call him brother–in–law. That had to sting, right?
I couldn’t help but smirk a little, and I switched topics. “Dad, I heard Joanna and Quinn are going to change their last name to Jackson!”
Yosef paused, then nodded while holding Sophia’s hand. “Sophia thinks it makes us feel more like a family” He seemed happy about it; after all he gained two kids for nothing.
“Is that so? You all became a family, while my mother is alone in her gravel Dad, have you ever visited her?” I asked.
The lively atmosphere in the living room suddenly Laded, and smiles vanished from everyone’s faces.
“Well…” Yosef’s face turned pale, guilt washing over him. His wife had just died, and here he was, remarried. How could he face hert
“You’ve forgotten about our family of three, I reminded him coldly
Seeing the atmosphere grow even more strained. Sophia feigned a sorrowful expression. “Dear, it seems Yvonne doesn’t really like us. How abour-
“Don’t overthink it, Yosef interrupted quickly, pasting her hand for comfort. “You brought Joanna and Quinn here. Soon you’ll have a baby boy for the Jackson family. You’re all my family”
Sophia wiped her tears, looking truly pitiful
I observed this situation and found it oddly familiar, Joanna acting helpless in front of Hayden was just like this what a family trait. Well, it seemed that Yosef had been enchanted by Sophia completely.
Just then, Hayden, who had mostly stayed quier, suddenly spoke up. “Changing the last name isn’t a small–matter, Yosef. You really should think it through. And by the way, 1 haven’t heard about any funeral service held for Yvonne’s mother since she passed”
Everyone was taken aback by his words
I hadn’t expected Hayden to step in for me, and I glanced at him involuntarily–what was going on with him?
