Chapter 857 She Bore the Child of A Criminal

Meanwhile, at the Norman residence.

The lamp in the yard cast a dim light on the fragrant garden and onto a gentle breeze of the early fall.

Under the dense canopy of leaves was a white steel table. On it was a white porcelain pot with a small mouth that emitted a wisp of vapor.

Next to the pot was a basket with an assortment of delicate desserts.

Jack stared vacantly at his beautiful and elegant wife, who was sitting in a rattan chair and sipping a cup of tea.

The entire space belonged to the couple.

As he stared at her, time seemed to have frozen, and they were back in their younger days.

She had not walked out of her depressive episode, and Jack dared not take the risk.

However, he could not bear to see his wife being deceived by that unfilial daughter.

Queenie saw that her husband was about to say something. "Is there anything, Jack? You've been sighing. You're usually not like this."
