Maisie beamed as Zinnia came out in her new outfit. She stepped forward and twirled Zinnia around. The more she looked, the more pleased the became. She found dressing up Zinnia such a joy.
“Same as always, charge these to my mom’s account. Send some to the Spence residence and the rest to Cloud Harbor,” Maisie told the sales associate Then she took Zinnia by the hand and led her upstairs to their reserved restaurant.
They booked a seat at a window–side table. The night view outside was lovely, and elegant piano music drifted softly through the restaurant.
As they sat down, the waiter promptly brought over the menus. Maisie urged excitedly, “Zinnia, come on, hurry up and order! Get whatever you like. We’re going all out!”
In the end, the two of them ordered chili con carne. It had been ages since they last enjoyed one, and their mouths were practically watering with anticipation.
“Maisie, I’m gonna go to the restroom,” Zinnia said, taking advantage of the wait while the dish was being served.
“Want me to come with you, Zinnia?” Maisie asked.
“No need, I’ll be right back,” Zinnia said. Then she left the restaurant and headed down the long hallway to the restroom. On her way back, she froze in her tracks when she spotted a man and woman kissing passionately in the elevator.
Zinnia recognized the man as Donald. But she couldn’t see the woman’s face.
Donald and the woman were locked in a fierce, almost violent kiss, their movements wild and desperate. Donald’s hands kept roaming relentlessly over her exposed shoulder, venturing deeper beneath her clothes.
Zinnia felt sick to her stomach at the sight. She pulled out her phone and, unable to bear looking, snapped a quick photo of the couple in the elevator.
She didn’t want to get involved in the Shaws‘ drama, but she thought that Maelis was still part of the Lynn family. So she decided to tell Jackson about
this.
She thought, ‘As for what to do about it, that’s his problem now.‘ She quickly snapped some photos and hurried back into the restaurant.
Donald seemed to sense something. He suddenly broke off the kiss and turned his head, casting a wary glance outside.
The woman asked, “Donald, what’s wrong?” Her voice dripped with seduction, echoing in the quiet space. At the same time, her hand slid down Donald’s waist, venturing lower with a teasing touch.
Her flushed face pressed against his chest, sending an electric tingling through Donald. In that instant, weakness spread through his legs. Overcome with
desire, his hand found her curves.
Her breath came in quick, shallow gasps as she pressed herself against Donald, her body going weak with desire. “Donald,” she moaned.
Her sultry voice sent shivers down Donald’s spine. Donald said, “Sorry, Jenny, it’s not fair to you, having to sneak around with me like this.”
Jenny said, “It’s no hardship at all, Donald. For you, and our daughter, I’d do anything willingly.” Her glistening, teary eyes brimmed with emotion, perfectly feeding Donald’s ego.
“Don’t worry, I’d never wrong you, and I’ll make sure our daughter is always protected,” Donald murmured, his hands teasingly roaming over her body.
Her body melted into Donald’s arms as she gasped for breath. She asked, “And what about that other daughter of yours?”
“Don’t you know? She’s nothing but a bastard,” Donald spat, his eyes full of contempt at the mention of Zinnia. His grip tightened involuntarily as a surge of anger welled up in his chest, casting a shadow over his usually refined and gentlemanly features.
Jenny gasped, grabbing at his wandering hand. She murmured the word “bastard” silently as her eyes gleamed with hidden thoughts.

“You sound so sweet, Jenny,” Donald murmured, silencing her scream with a kiss.
