Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 25

Holly Adams appeared unsettled by Megan’s personal question. “Well, Miss Yard, it’s not a good idea to ask me that. You will put me in a tight spot.” She had a troubled expression on her face.

“What’s so secretive about it?” Megan blew on her coffee. “Miss Adams, My friends are all single. When they get hitched, I’ll refer them to your store for tailored luxury gowns. Does that sound good?”

“If so, I will be very grateful to you.” Holly bit her lips and answered, “Miss Yard, I will tell you the truth. The man you met in the store today is not the president of JNS Corporation.”

Megan’s eyes widened in surprise, and she sat up straight. “What did you say?”

“Well, I am in a difficult position too. I received orders from our president to put on a show, and I was to introduce the man as our president since no one truly knew the identity of the real president anyway. As for a reason behind this, our president did not elaborate more. I guess the man could be a friend of the president, and the request was a favor.”

Upon learning the truth, Megan immediately felt angered and fooled. They conspired to put on a show! That b*tch, Selena did find a man to fake it, and she made it look real!

“Plus, our president is a female.”

“A female?” Megan was bewildered by the information. Is the president of JNS Corporation a woman?

Holly nodded and reminded her, “Miss Yard, please do not leak this information. Otherwise, I might be fired. I know that they crossed a line today, but I am salaried by our president. I couldn't possibly go against her.”

Megan pursed her lips and smiled. “I understand. Don’t worry. I am sensible when it comes to these issues.”

“Thank you. Please favor Forever Gown in the future.”

Megan left the store with the gown in her hands, feeling as if she was about to explode from anger. I’ve been fooled by Selena over and over. Sure, I’ll take the challenge. Selena Yard, I want to see how far you can go!

At the Yard Residence, Pierre and Selena arrived home and instantly heard the children’s laughter from the room.

“Hahaha, I got the bullseye! Bullseye!” Jameson was running laps around the room with darts in his hands.

“That’s nothing special. I got a few bullseyes in a row. Look at me!” Juniper aimed a dart at the board and threw it out. “Yay! Another bullseye!”

Joaquin stood beside them calmly because he had been getting bullseyes as well.

At the merry sight of the children’s game, Selena flashed a satisfied smile. “Juniper, Mommy’s home!”

Hearing that, Juniper instantly turned around to look at her.

“Come, I’ll give you a hug.” Selena opened her arms and hoped for Juniper to run into her arms like usual. The past few days had been an eternity to her, and gone were the days when Juniper was close to her.

To Selena’s disappointment, Juniper’s expression froze as she threw her darts away and dashed upstairs.

It was a very embarrassing moment for Selena. I thought we resolved the issue. Why is she ignoring me?

As a mother, the most saddening thing is being alienated by my own child. Selena was disappointed and mournful. Jameson commented thoughtlessly, “Juniper doesn’t like you anymore, pretty lady.”

Ever since he got to know Juniper, he started addressing Selena as ‘pretty lady’. She flashed an awkward smile at him and said, “It’s time for dinner. Are you hungry? I’ll cook up something.”

Then, she wandered into the kitchen with a forlorn expression.

Once the kitchen door was closed behind her, hot tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.

Why? Why did it turn out this way?

Jameson stuck his tongue out in a surprised look. “Did I say something wrong?”
