Linda was a misfit for places like Royal Nightclub. However, she also had the sfeeling at Finnley’s apartment.
She was from an ordinary family and struggled hard to leave the underclass. However, people around her were either from affluent families or well-educated.
She always felt self-contemptuous.
Although Jennifer was considerate and often chitchatted with her, Linda knew they were completely different.

After Linda sat in, Jennifer also got into the car.
If she let Linda sit in the backseat alone, the latter would feel awkward.
Ivan started the engine and asked Linda for her haddress.
“Thank you for givinga ride. | hope it’s not too troublesome,” Linda said in a trembling tone as she was too nervous.
“It's nothing,” Ivan gently answered in a mellow tone, holding the steering wheel. “We're heading in the sdirection.” He seldom spoke so much to her.
His words sent warmth to her chest, and she felt appreciated.
“Linda, how's your mother doing?” Jennifer looked at her and asked with concern.
Linda answered, “She’s getting much better. Thank you, Ms. Brooks.” Then she added apologetically, “I'll pay back the money ASAP” Jennifer didn't keep the money in mind at all.
“I didn’t mean it...” Jennifer felt awkward and explained with a smile, “I didn’t mean the money. | just suddenly thought about your mother.” “I know, Ms. Brooks.” Linda added, “You didn’t ask, but | always remembered it.” “No need to rush.” Jennifer shook her head as she knew how much Linda earned a month. “It doesn’t matter if you don't return it.
| was afraid you wouldn't accept my kindness back then. So, you can return whenever you want. It's not urgent. Really.” Her words made Linda so touched that she couldn't utter a reply.
She thought Ms. Brooks was indeed kind-hearted, lowkey, and down-to-earth.” Soon, Ivan dropped Linda off in front of her rented apartment. When she got off, Jennifer said, “See you tomorrow, Linda.” “See you. Good night, Ms. Brooks. Good night, Mr. Marsh.” She waved them goodbye.
“Good night.” After watching the Lamborghini vanish in sight, she went into the building.
Ivan and Jennifer returned to Kelsington Bay.

“Daddy! Mommy!” Diana threw herself into lvan’s arms, and Jennifer bent over to lift Alfie.
“Did you put on much weight, son?” Jennifer almost failed to hold him up. He was indeed heavier.
Pippa bowed at them with a bright smile. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh. Master Alfie has put on almost 6 pounds, and Little Miss has put on 2 pounds.” The children’s faces had becrounder, looking more adorable.
“I can tell you like the food in Grandma's house.” Jennifer was indeed happy as Aubree seemed to have changed completely.
“I like the meatballs,” Alfie said, “Also the baked salmon. The chef is good at cooking it. It's as delicious as the one made by Mommy.” Ivan held Diana in his arms, his hand holding her butt. The little girl wrapped her arms around his neck.
They were talking excitedly.
Diana pecked Ivan’s cheek and said sweetly, “I love you, Daddy.” “I love you, too, Diana.” Ivan felt his heart melting, immersing in the happiness.
“Daddy, who is the one you love the most?” Diana suddenly asked a tricky question. “Do you love Alfie, Mommy, orthe most?”
