“I want to eat the pineapple rice from the pretty lady.” Jameson gulped at the thought of Selena’s tasty cooking.
Pierre was stuck in a difficult situation. That night, it took him a lot of effort to get Selena’s consent to sleep with him, only to have his plans ruined by Jameson’s sudden fever. However, if he brought Jameson to visit Selena, he would lose the upper hand in the game. Selena is shrewd and she’d definitely attempt to negotiate with me!
Later, when Cora came upstairs with a bowl of hot soup, the father and son were gone from the room!
On Selena’s side, after much consideration, she decided to bring Juniper to visit Jameson. She was caught between her conflict with Pierre and Juniper’s sincere concern for a friend, but the scale in her heart tipped in favor of Juniper’s case. For her daughter, she was willing to endure the embarrassment in meeting with Pierre.
Meanwhile, Jude only stayed over for a night before returning to the filming set. It turned out that she was briefly in Astoria for a shooting. Hence, later that day, Selena dressed Juniper up to head out. Due to the cold weather, she wrapped Juniper in many layers until the little girl waddled around like a penguin.
“Juniper, are you sure you want to visit Jameson? Are you not angry at him anymore?”
Juniper nodded earnestly. “Yes, I am not mad at him anymore. Mr. Handsome’s mistake has nothing to do with the two boys. I really hope that he will get better soon.”
Pleased, Selena caressed the bangs on Juniper’s forehead. “Good girl. Let’s go.”
Then, Juniper held her mother’s hand, and the idea of meeting her friend soon cheered her up greatly.
When they opened the door to leave, however, they bumped into Pierre, whose hand was frozen mid-air in an attempt to press the doorbell. Selena stared wide-eyed at him, and he returned a blank stare at her. The expressions on their faces were amusing to watch, and an awkward air lingered around them.
