Chapter 35 The Gulliford Residence
“Why don’t you let Faye stay here to keep you company?” Asher was smart. He knew Jessica did not want anyone to know about her relationship with them, hence he avoided calling her “mommy.”
Jessica lowered her head to look at the little girl in her arms, who had pink, plump lips and long lashes that fluttered when she blinked. The sight of her made Jessica feel reluctant to part with Faye.
“Okay. Then, all of you must be good and go home, okay?”
“Okay.” Asher and the others nodded obediently. Faye quickly crawled into Jessica’s embrace, unwilling to leave no matter what.
Jessica occasionally fed Faye while digging into the food Lina brought. However, jealousy flashed through the eyes of Asher and the others as they watched Jessica doting on their sister with their arms crossed.
Not long after, Monica arrived and took them away, leaving Faye to keep Jessica company.
“Are you feeling better?” Faye’s voice was extremely sweet, and her actions were just like
Jessica’s. There was a common saying about sons looking like their mothers and vice versa. Yet, Faye did not look like Trevor at all.
“Yes. With you around, I feel better even without medicine.”
“Really? Then, let me sing you a song. Dylan taught me how to sing. Can I sing a song for you?”
“Okay!”
Smiling, Jessica nodded and gently released Faye. The latter got off the bed and stood beside the window, gently clutching the hem of her dress to do a curtsy.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star…”
Faye’s voice was soft and innocent, leaving Jessica and Lina completely immersed in the wonderful melody.
After some time, the voice faded, and Faye gave a polite bow.
“Oh my. That was amazing. Faye sings better than a child star.” Lina clapped in amazement. She had never heard a girl sing that well in her life.
“That’s right. You’re amazing, Faye.” Jessica gave the girl a thumbs up.
“Faye’s such an obedient child. Her mother must be so lucky to have a daughter like her.” Lina loved girls. Unfortunately, all three of her children were boys.
“I know, right?” Jessica smiled wider and nodded, stroking Faye’s dark hair with her fair, slender fingers.
The harmonious scene was witnessed by Trevor, who walked in at that very moment.
This girl looks like Jessica… he thought.
Noticing Trevor, Faye gently reminded Jessica, “Ms. Jackson, there’s a man standing by the door.”
Upon hearing that, Jessica looked up and turned to the door. As soon as she saw Trevor, she instinctively pulled Faye into her embrace. “When did you come back?”
Her tone sounded slightly wary.
Trevor did not answer Jessica’s question. Instead, he informed Lina, “I need you to get things ready and send her back to the Gulliford residence.”
“Why? I don’t want to!” Jessica shook her head vehemently. “The Guilliford residence? Is he going to lock me up there? No way! I still need to take care of my children. I can’t go with him,” she pondered.
“Jessica, you don’t have a choice.” Trevor cast her a disdainful look and glanced at Faye, who was in her arms, before leaving the room.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Jackson. I don’t dare to disobey Mr. Gulliford’s orders,” said Lina gently. With that, she turned around to pack some of the necessities. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Soon, someone brought them out of the hospital’s VIP room to the Gulliford residence.
Jessica did not want to go there, but she did not dare to go against his words. Trevor was someone capable of doing anything.
Moreover, the Queen family was already heavily in debt because of her. She could not let them lose their lives for her.
Meanwhile, Faye followed Jessica to the Gulliford residence. It was Trevor’s private residence where only he and the housekeeper lived.
The Gulliford residence had a magnificent view and was in a strategic location. It was decorated with a western and luxurious style.
“Jessica, you’re not allowed to step out of the house without my permission.”
