Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 122

In the dim light, Jennifer stared at Ivan's handsome face and thought that she hadn't woken him up.

Suddenly, she felt sorry for him, the man standing at a height.

As long as one was alive, no matter how much power or wealth he had, he would always suffer from his past trauma.

Jennifer lay beside him, holding the half of the jade pendant in her hand. She couldn't help thinking of some people she had met before. Their faces came to her mind.

The next morning.

Jennifer got up early in the morning and had been busy in the kitchen.  

The servants wanted to help, but didn't know how.

"Mommy!" In overalls, Alfie came to the kitchen and stared at her, "Are you making sandwich for daddy?"

"I'm making congee, not sandwich here," Jennifer took a look at him and answered, "Daddy's got a share."

He didn't believe it! Mommy made it specially for daddy. Alfie thought to himself.

Then, he said purposely, "Mommy, I heard that a lady working in daddy's company made him congee, but he didn't eat it."

A lady? Did Alfie mean Catherine?

"It's none of my business," Jennifer blinked, "I'm making congee because I want to eat it. I just made some more because it's not much trouble anyway."

Alfie was confused. Mommy was making breakfast for daddy, but why didn't she admit it?

"Fine. You can say whatever you want! Anyway, daddy has got a share." Alfie was determined to work harder to bring them together.

After Alfie left, Jennifer stood there and jealousy bubbled up in his heart. But she managed to suppress it.

Perhaps she was nothing different from those women who were unable to resist Ivan's charm.

But she couldn't show it, for she didn't know how Ivan felt about her.

She would not degrade herself to becoming a joke.  

"Mommy, do you have to wait there yourself? You could have used the electric casserole," Diana came over and asked, "You have been really nice to daddy recently."

Jennifer turned off the stove. The congee was ready. "Stop making fun of me. Do you want your congee or not?"

"Making fun of you how?"

A man's pleasant voice came from behind Jennifer.

Jennifer turned around and saw Ivan standing behind Diana with his hands on her shoulders.
