Felix grew weary from crying and eventually dozed off in Esther's comforting arms. She observed her son's peaceful slumber, pondering Bradley's actions.
Why had he used their daughters to threaten her? What fueled his intense hatred for her?
"Esther, have some water," Jasper kindly offered her a glass.
Esther, teary-eyed, accepted and turned to Jasper with a raspy voice, asking, "Jasper, why does Bradley despise me so much?"
"I can't say," Jasper replied, shifting the focus to Kevin.
"I'm in the dark as well," Kevin quickly said.
"You've done many things for Bradley, and you don't know?" Jasper asked mockingly.
Kevin distanced himself from Bradley and admitted, "I honestly don't."
"If you don't, then who does?" Jasper retorted sarcastically. "If you had told Esther earlier that Bradley didn't know where her daughters were, would she have been threatened by him?"
Kevin stood speechless, seething with frustration.
"No! I never expected Bradley to stoop so low as to use his daughters against Esther. Who in their right mind would do that to their spouse?" he exclaimed.
Jasper wholeheartedly agreed with him.
"Esther, if you face any future problems, don't panic. We're here for you. Just speak up, and we'll work together to find a solution," Jasper assured her.
