"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 makehappier 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 toand taughtso 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. After coming 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 Daddy last time!" "Mmm, his nis Jeffrey." "Yes, Jeffrey... Emily, is Daddy handsome?" "Yes!" Hearing this, Ashley felt a twinge of bitterness.

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 heldhostage 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 RV dispatches someone trail y and they uncover the truth?" At the mention of Rebecca, Ashley paled, "Then, better not..." If Rebecca was to find out about Emily, that would spell disaster.
Suddenly, Stephanie interjected, "Something has been gnawing at my curiosity.What?"
