CHAPTER 39

  He can say that Nicholas is very fortunate to have such an understanding wife. Leandre exhaled a sigh. She was sitting alone because Nicholas was looking after Ninette and feeding her. Because he had nothing to do in the back house, Leandre stood up and walked inside. He should go to bed.

  "Aren't you cold from the way you look? Get dressed," he said here.

  "Mommy and I are going to take a bath. Besides, it's not cold. Are you going to sleep?" Emerald asked.

  "Yes. I'm tired from my work. But I'm okay." answered Leandre.

  "Are you okay? If you're not comfortable with Jade being here at our house, I can talk to her." Emerald said and looked at him intently.

  "Just let him be with you. It's very ugly to see you send her away all of a sudden," he answered.
