At the balcony of Tom's bedroom, Lucy embraced Tom from behind as he silently stared into the night. She had walked into the bedroom to see him standing out there just like that, and even when she touched him, he did not turn to look at her. Neither of them said a word. Lucy could tell Tom was upset and didn't want to talk, and Tom could tell that Lucy understood his need for the silence even though her presence was welcome. "Why aren't you asking me what happened?" Tom asked after some time,…-

Outside the house, Jade was drilling Harry in the same manner Bryan had been questioning Sonia. "How could you keep something as important as that from me?" Jade asked Harry, not happy that she had been in the dark about that. "I told you already. It is Tom's business not yours. If he wanted you to know about it, I'm sure he would have told you himself," Harry said and she frowned. "I don't keep stuff about Candace from you," she pointed out. "That is your choice, esquire. That doesn't mean I…

Once Tom and Harry were settled in the Den, Tom looked at Harry with a serious expression, "Is everything alright?" "Sure. I wanted to check on you to see how you were feeling now about the whole DNA stuff," Harry said and Tom eyed him doubtfully. "You saw me before I left the office…" "That was at the office. I wanted to be sure you wouldn't be at home weeping," Harry said and Tom chuckled. "Well, as you can see, I'm fine. Now tell me the real reason you wanted to see me," Tom said and Harry…

After freshening up, Tom and Lucy went downstairs for dinner, and they exchanged a look when they noticed that no one else was at the dining. "Are Bryan and Sonia not having dinner?" Tom asked Samantha who had come out to meet them after she was informed they were ready for dinner. "I'm not sure. I will send someone over to inform them you are having dinner now," she said, but Tom shook his head. "That's not necessary. I'm sure they will come down themselves when they are ready," Tom said as he…

After her phone call with Lucy, Evelyn paced around her bedroom contemplating if she should give Lawrence a call or not to ask him if he knew anything about what had happened between Tom and Kimberly. She hoped not. She really hoped he wasn't in any way involved in it and that it had all been an honest misunderstanding on Kimberly's end. Now that she knew Kimberly was the lady in question, she couldn't bring herself to reach out to her. She feared that it might not be a coincidence. How could it…

"Are you okay?" Jade asked Harry as he escorted her to her car, and he nodded. "Sure. Why wouldn't I be?" Harry asked and Jade looked at him with a concerned frown. She couldn't help being worried about him. Harry could put up the hard and careless facade all he wanted but she could see that this whole Sara thing was beginning to get to him, and she couldn't blame him. "Harry, you can talk to me if you're not fine. You don't have to be so strong in front of me," Jade said softly as they stopped by…

As Sara sat down, she stiffened the moment her gaze met with Harry's who was seated only a couple of tables away from her. Not knowing what to do, she smiled at him, but Harry ignored her by turning away from her and returning his gaze to Jade who was speaking to him. "Do you want to go over to their table to say hello?" Jade asked and Harry nodded. "I have no reason to do that. I have no direct business with her anymore," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow. "What happened?" Jade asked and Harry…

Bryan, who was lying on the bed beside Sonia who was seated, watched her as she worked on her laptop and flashed her a smile when she caught him staring at her. "You're supposed to be rehearsing your lines not watching me," she reminded him. "You're more interesting than the lines, fiancée," Bryan said, and Sonia giggled. "When do you think your body is going to start changing to accommodate our munchkin?" Bryan asked curiously and Sonia raised a brow. "Why? So you can make sure you're not here…

"What are you doing?" Desmond asked when he joined Evelyn in the den and noticed she was watching Cartoon Network. Evelyn smiled as she turned to him, "I thought I should get familiar with the cartoons they show these days," She explained and Desmond chuckled. "It's not like the baby has been born already or you are going to be spending that much time with the baby…" "I plan to spend that much time with my grandkids," Evelyn said, and Desmond shook his head as he picked up the remote and changed…

After work, Tom picked Lucy in front of the company as usual and they both headed for his house instead of Lucy's. "My grandfather said you asked him to report himself to my parents?" Tom asked as he drove and Lucy nodded. "Yes. He should do that much. Why? Do you have a problem with it?" Lucy asked with a raised brow and Tom shook his head. "No. I asked you to handle it. So whatever you say is fine," Tom said quickly. "Good," Lucy said as she looked away from him to her window. It seemed to her…
