Chapter 521: Jake's smile emerged at last as he caressed her belly and sighed. “Thank you, my dear. Your mother is finally ready to recognizeofficially." Kallie's response was tinged with exasperation. "You shouldn't put it like that. You make yourself sound like a lonely husband." "Well, I'm nearly that," Jake replied, a wistful tone in his voice.

Edgar stepped beside Kallie, his voice low. "Jenny's not a threat anymore." Kallie glanced at Jenny, feeling a strange mix of pity and indifference. Jenny had walked straight into the arms of her own destruction. If only Jenny hadn't threatened them with Tyrone, if only she hadn't forced herself into their lives, drugging Kallie and Sophie in a desperate bid for control, she could've had a decent life in Halstead.
But now? Even though Jenny's darkest secrets were exposed, the world would forget soon enough. People always did. From then on, if she behaved, she could still carve out a life on her own. Her greed had led her here. Kallie turned to Trent. "Where's my grandpa? Does he know how much Jenny has changed?" "Don't worry, Miss," Trent reassured her. “Your grandpa may still follow Jenny, but as long as she's kept here, everything will be alright."

Kallie nodded, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. "Okay. Thank you." With Jenny settled, Kallie turned her thoughts to Jake. She had decided to remarry him, but there was no rush. She wasn't ready to ask Sophie to call Jake "Dad" yet. Sophie was clever, but she was also sensitive. One wrong step could hurt her deeply.
As fate would have it, the show was about to begin filming, and Kallie took it as an opportunity. She invited Jake to join them at the shoot, hoping he and Sophie could spend sttogether, allowing them to grow closer naturally.

Jake adored Sophie with all his heart. His eyes never left her, as if he feared she might get hurt the moment he blinked. He practically hovered over her for hours on end. Kallie sighed, feeling a slight headache coming on. "Jake, Sophie's not made of glass. You're spoiling her like this."
Jake glanced at Kallie, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "I know. But m missed out on her first four years. I just want to make up for lost time."
Kallie decided to let Jake be. With him watching over Sophie so closely, she could actually relax a little.
Kallie chose not to stay in the accommodations arranged by the crew. With her family along, she m preferred more privacy. No one on the Crew questioned Kallie's decision. After all, she had invested heavily in the show, and they considered her a sponsor in many ways. As long as she stayed within the rules, she was free to do as she pleased.
