Chapter 222
Jessica noticed Audrey’s puzzled look and was slightly embarrassed. After discovering Audrey’s group had won first place, Jessica prepared a big meal to celebrate.
But Jessica heard Miles say something had gone wrong before she called Audrey. She checked online and knew that Audrey was falsely accused of causing intentional injury, and all the media were following the story.
When Jessica saw those online reports, her heart ached for Audrey. Worried Audrey might be sad staying home alone, Jessica came over quickly,
Originally, Peter and his two sons also wanted to come, but Jessica refused. She thought a group of guys wouldn’t be much help in offering comfort. She was afraid that they accidentally sail something they shouldn’t and upset Audrey.
Now, facing Audrey, Jessica was at a loss for how to comfort her. Since their reconciliation, she often thought about finding the right moment to have a heartfelt conversation with Audrey and truly show her care.
However, Jessica felt too ashamed to face Audrey whenever she thought of Eliza. After all, she had raised Eliza and shared the responsibility for Eliza’s upbringing
Jessica figured it was their fault for raising Eliza that way, which ended up with Audrey losing her fiancé and getting set up for a murder rap.
Feeling guilty towards Audrey, Jessica carefully watched Audrey and asked, “Audrey. I came over without asking if it was convenient. Am I bothering you?”

Seeing Audrey had been gone too long, Sunny had hurried over, holding a toy. He warily watched Jessica as if she were an intruder in his space while tightly clutching his toy.
“Who who is this child?” Jessica asked, surprised at the sight of Sunny. She thought, ‘Could there be other guests with their child at Audrey’s place?”
Seeing Sunny’s expectant expression, Audrey finally stopped hesitating and firmly said, “Mom, this is my son.”
Jessica’s mind went blank momentarily. She stared at Audrey’s moving lips. Her voice was trembling as she asked, “Y–your” son? Where did he come from?”
Jessica thought, “The kid looks about five or six, but Audrey is only 24. Could she have had a kid when she was a teenager?
At that time, Audrey was still in college. How could she have a child? Does this kid belong to Audrey’s old husband from his previous marriage?‘
Jessica was already unhappy that Audrey married an older man, Now, finding out Audrey became a stepmom at such a young age made her heart ache even more.

The kitchen’s frosted glass door opened, and Alistair came out holding a freshly cooked pot roast. He asked. “Audrey, who’s here!” He vaguely heard some voices in the entryway but didn’t see anyone.
Hearing a clear, youthful male voice, Jessica was even more puzzled. She thought, “How come this voice sounds so young! Doesn’t Audrey marry an old man?”
