Chase had a proper job. In fact, Cloud Hospital was even linked to Quinn Group in some ways. Whether in the open or behind the scenes, he was someone who could actually support Wendy.

“I’ve never been scammed since taking over Quinn Group. But now that you mention it, I’m curious. How exactly would you help me?”

Henry had been calling Wendy way too frequently before Christmas. To him, Chase was practically invisible. Honestly, Chase found it funny.

It was obvious Henry didn’t share any mutual friends with Wendy. Otherwise, he’d have picked up on the fact that his status in her life had plummeted.

In truth, Chase was home every single time Henry called Wendy, either listening in while beside her or busying himself in the kitchen. There was simply no space in this house for Henry. Yet Henry seemed completely oblivious.

One day, Henry even showed up at the house. Maybe he’d sensed that Wendy had become emotionally distant lately, and he just had to see her in person to feel reassured.

In the past, whenever Henry visited, Wendy would tell Chase to hide in their bedroom just to keep up appearances. But this time, when she saw Henry on the surveillance camera, she didn’t even tell Chase. She just opened the door.

Henry had Joy with him.

“Pretty Mommy!”

Wendy hadn’t seen Joy in a while, not since her injury. She hadn’t expected Henry to bring the girl along. Maybe he figured he couldn’t get through to Wendy on his own and thought using the child would help.

“Why did you bring Joy?” Wendy stepped aside to let them in.

Joy had bounced back well physically after the car accident. Well, kids recovered fast. But the nanny said Joy’s temper was getting worse by the day. She’d throw fits over small things, even smashing stuff on the floor if something wasn’t to her liking.

Henry wasn’t exactly hands–on with parenting. All he cared about was using Joy to win affection. What kind of child could grow up well with that kind of upbringing?

“Joy hasn’t seen you in a long time. She said she missed you. I was going to invite you to spend Christmas with us. Joy really wants to be with you. But I know you’ll be going back to spend it with Mandy, so I didn’t want to take up too much of your time. A business partner sent some bird’s nest soup, so I brought some over for you.”

Wendy looked down at the package. She had more than enough of that at home. There was absolutely no need for Henry to bring any. Still, she offered a polite, “Thanks.”

Chase had just finished slicing fruit and was about to bring it to the living room. As he passed the entryway.
