"Uhm." She placed her head on his chest. "I am anxious about my acting debut. I'm so nervous now.
Even though Brigitta had sent me some script to go through, I'm unable to go through it." Tinsley
explained that anxiety.
"You're doing good. You don't need to force it." He said and placed a peck on her face.
"You think so?" She pouted, and he nodded to show his honesty. "I won't lie to you, do I?"
"You're right." She replied.
"How about you try out a few scenes with me?" He suggested, which made her eyes light up. "You can
act?" She asked with disbelief.
"Hm..." Before Jarek could reply, the triplet barged into the room with an excited gaze. "Didn't I warn
you about knocking?" Jarek feigned anger while staring at the triplet, who was now walking toward
them with a cautious step.
"Dad, we're sorry. We forgot." They all replied and turned to Tinsley and Jarek excitedly. "Dad, Mom,
you're taking us to play, right?" They asked, and Tinsley nodded.
Jarek furrowed his brows slightly, "Hm. But mom is busy for now..."
"Mom wants to practice acting, right? Mom, Dad, we also want to." The triplet yelled excitedly.
But Jarek and Tinsley didn't bother asking because they knew that the triplet must have heard them
discussing when they were about to enter the room.

Conrad quietly opened the door to see Lillee going through her script with knitted brows, but upon
seeing Conrad enter the apartment, she placed her script down and stood up with a calm smile.
"Conrad, how is work?" Lillee asked and collected his jacket. "I prepared your favorite meal." She said
with a gentle voice.
"Tiring." Conrad sighed and hugged her gently. His lips slowly moved to kiss her lips, but when Lillee
saw that he was about to take it further, she suddenly pushed him away from her.
"You must be hungry, go and wash. I'll be down here waiting for you." She said softly, which made him
downcast.
Ever since Lily lost her pregnancy, she didn't give Conrad a chance to touch her. Even though Conrad
was able to hold it in, he couldn't last forever, but he didn't think about using harshness because he still
held some guilt toward their lost child. He grabbed her hand to say something to her, but she shrugged
him off.
Conrad faked a smile and gently collected his jacket from Lillee. "I forgot that I needed to do something
at the office. Don't wait for me. Go to sleep." He replied and kissed her forehead before he left the
mansion.

Conrad was stunned to see a light at his office; his assistant was still working in the office even though
it was late.
"Jane?" Conrad opened the door and called, which made her smile gently. She stood up with
bewilderment.
"Boss, what are you doing here? Haven't you gone home?" She asked him with bewilderment.
Conrad finds himself walking into the office. He sat on the opposite seat and stared at her, "I have
some things to do in the office." He replied.
Jane stood up and walked toward the coffee maker in her office, and she quickly prepared him a cup. "I
know this is unhealthy, but... Please have this boss." She uttered and handed him a cup of coffee.
She sat on the table with a frown. "Boss, you have been returning to the office these days. Are you
having issues with your marriage? You've changed so much. You hardly smile, and you're always
frowning, cold, and filled with sadness." She spoke out while staring at him.
Even though he wanted to look away, he couldn't. He was attracted to his secretary these days, and
now when those gentle eyes were staring at him, he had no choice but to patiently explain all the guilt
he held and all Lillee had been doing.
Jane frowned and hugged him gently. "Boss, I have no idea you have been going through a lot, and
your wife isn't being supportive at all." She said and patted his back.
Conrad softly lay his head on her shoulder. Had it been Lillee was this understanding of him, all these
sad emotions he was feeling wouldn't have accumulated this much.
"Boss, you're crying." Jane separated from him and cupped his cheeks gently.
Even though Conrad wanted to stop himself from crying, he couldn't because he kept remembering
everything. Many sad things kept playing in his head. And at this moment, he realized something, Lillee
never comforted him; he was the one who was always there for her.
Jane was filled with helplessness, and soon her selfish impulse took over. Without warning, she shut
his lips with a kiss.
Conrad's eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
Jane quickly separated from him and stood up with shock and remorse also. "Boss, I'm so...."
Before Jane could complete her word, a delighted Conrad yanked her to his lap and kissed her
intensely with happiness. "I have always wanted to do this." He whispered to her with a smile after
breaking the kiss.
Jane's face turned red, and she bowed her head to hide it, "Me too." She replied and laughed gently.
