That night, he walked along the corridor when a woman immediately leaped into his embrace, As the
woman dragged him into the room, he caught a whiff of that familiar gardenia-scented perfume, and
something clicked in his mind.” The room was dark when it all happened, but when daylight came the
next day, Jamie woke up to an empty bed. He assumed that Catelyn had scurried away because she
was shy. He thought that Stella and Catelyn would struggle after the wreckage of their family, that they
would plead for Catelyn to be his lover. He did not expect, however, that Catelyn would not give in and
even hid her pregnancy from him. Catelyn laid low in BrightGene for four whole years and hid away from

he had a son. Jamie’s expression shifted as his mind wandered elsewhere. His chin was covered in a
layer of stubble, and he looked like he had not had a good rest. He looked wrecked, even. Catelyn,
surprisingly, did not give Jamie a bad time right off the bat.
“Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital. If you’re here to convince me to drop the case
against Queenie, I think the lawyer has explained my requirement to you.”
Jamie put off the cigarette in his hand and huffed out the last inhale of smoke. “Catelyn, we were once
lovers. Do you really have to do this? Queenie is still young, and she doesn’t understand much of the

Jamie’s face was grim. “I could return you the loan agreement that your stepmother signed.” “It was a

You’re probably on some sort of high to use your son against me, huh? “I loathe the fact that Miles has a
father like you!”
Catelyn drew the line when it came to Miles. She could never sit still whenever Miles was involved.
Jamie’s face was still grim as he coldly grabbed Catelyn by her chin. “Queenie said you were hiding a
