"Where is Uncle Eason, Mommy?" Diana called to Jennifer, "Please ask him to join us." Alfie suggested, "Diana, you'll team up with Uncle Eason. We'll compete to see which team builds faster. OK?" "Good idea." From their tones, the grownups could tell they didn't look down on Eason at all.
They also didn't ask bothering questions but accepted Eason as one of their family.
"Letcall him." Jennifer left the living room. Shortly after, she returned while holding Eason's hand. Aiden put on a vest on him, making him look more handsome.

"Eason, would you like to play LEGO with Alfie and Diana?" Jennifer bent over and asked him gently.
Eason held her hand tightly, shaking his head. He wasn't interested in playing but only Jennifer.
Jennifer was surprised. She squatted down and coaxed him, "Don't be afraid. I'll be watching you." She tossed the hair on his forehead.
Sometimes, Jennifer wished Zack to be Eason's birth father.
Watching them, Zack was delighted and thought it was because of their blood kinship.
A chef and several cooks were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.
"Michelle," Zack said to Jennifer, "Can you followto the study?" Jennifer could tell he wanted to talk to her privately. "Sure, Dad." Then she reminded Aiden to keep an eye on Eason.
She followed Zack upstairs and thought about the forbidden zone on the third floor, feeling touched.
She could tell Zack had never stopped loving her in the past decades.

"Michelle," Zack went straight to the point in the study, "Where is the crystal | gave to you when you were little?" "I kept it in Emerald Bay. Why?" Jennifer looked into his eyes.
Zack answered bluntly with a worried face, "My half has been stolen by Joan Houghton. | don't know to who she has given it. | believe there's a manipulator behind it." "A manipulator?" Jennifer was shocked. "Has she... always been restless over the years?" "lI don't know much about it." Zack drifted to the window, standing with his hands behind his back. "I never expected her to cheat on me. | gave her plenty of money to spend. | also gave her freedom and a sense of security after she married me. | only wished she could keep my family well." His words brought up Jennifer's hunch. She guessed Eason's birth father must be the manipulator.
'How greedy they are!" "There is a rumor about our Clarke family. Sometimes, the netizens discuss it online." "It's about a treasure." Jennifer was taken aback as she had never heard of it.
Zack continued, "The key to open the doors to the treasure is said to be the two halves of the crystal together." "Where is the treasure? What is it?" Jennifer asked, "Is it passed on from our ancestors?" "Beats me, Jennifer." Zack chuckled, looking back at her. "Your grandfather never mentioned the treasure to me. Besides, | found a designer to design the crystals back then. It means nothing special." "So the treasure doesn't exist, right? Someone believes the rumor and wants to get the crystals." "Exactly." Zack nodded. "My half has been stolen. | haven't found who has it. | went to see Joan Houghton, but she refused to tell me." Jennifer was lost in thought.
"Michelle, you must be careful," Zack reminded her, "If someone wants the crystal, give it to him. Don't be persistent." Jennifer answered, "If we encountered such evil ones, Ivan would definitely send all of them to jail."
