Wayne tried to exin himself, saying, "I just wanted to give her some candies because she looks cute."


    Knowing that he wasn''t a lowly man who would hurt her daughter, Olivia was certain that he was the backup Ethan called over. But Wayne was as reckless as usual. He almost ruined her n! If Jacqueline and Alexander had found out about his presence, things would''ve gone south.


    That was why Olivia gave him the cold treatment. She looked at him like he was a stranger. "No need for that, thanks."


    She carried Willow and strode away. "Stay away from strangers. They kidnap kids," she warned intentionally for Wayne to catch on the situation.

    "Serves him right. Why is he so concerned about someone else''s wife and child?" Ike bit a piece of grass.


    n red at him. "You''re never gonna find yourself a wife with that sharp tongue and heart of steel."


    "The divorce rate is high these days. Even if I found one, she could be someone else''s wife in the future. I might as well save myself from the hassle."Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    n was at a loss for words.


    Jacqueline woke up on the balcony, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was able to have a good night''s sleep by Alexander''s side. "What are you looking at?"


    He withdrew his gaze from Olivia and Willow. "Nothing."


    Perhaps he was overthinking it. It seemed like the man wanted to y with Willow because she looked cute.


    "Feeling better?"


    Jacqueline shook her head. "Everywhere hurts."


    "Just hold on. I''ll skin those bastards alive. None of them can get away from this after hurting you." He caressed her brows affectionately. "I''ll avenge you, Jacqueline."

    "Don''t worry. I have everything nned. But you''re out of shape. You need rest."


    Jacqueline enjoyed sunbathing for the next few days on the ind. Her wounds were recovering under Alexander''s meticulous ministration.

    Olivia fanned herselfnguidly. "Alexander''s & witch. Of course, he knows some ck magic to help her recover. It''s good news for us, don''t you think? The faster she recovers, the sooner I can be freed from the curse. You''d better watch out. He''s not that simple."


    "Okay."


    "I''ll go check on Willow." She got up from the leaning chair.

    The person grabbed her waist, bringing her to the room next to them.


    Before she could react, the door was already locked!


    "I''ve been looking for you, Dr. Fordham." The man''s breath touched her ear.
