Chapter 186
"Okay."
Jessica nodded, not because she wanted to be with Trevor, but because if she refused under these circumstances, he would be a laughingstock.
She did not want to see him dejected and disappointed or have anyone mock him for treating a woman who didn't even care about him so well. However, she did not know how thrilled Trevor was right now. Seeing that she agreed, he was willing to do anything for her.
"Make the arrangements and take them to the Gulliford family mansion," Maximilian ordered before turning to leave, his displeasure evident. "Understood, Old Mr. Gulliford."
Gabriel nodded before taking them back to the Gulliford family mansion and arranged a room for Jessica to stay.
Of course, the room he prepared was not a nice one since Maximilian disliked Jessica.
Yet, Jessica was not bothered by it, as she knew she wasn't there to enjoy it. All she needed was a place to stay.
However, Trevor refused to let her stay in such a crude room and immediately transferred a new assistant over from the company and ordered him to buy more furniture for her room.
The new assistant, Tony, was a male, and Trevor had already given him lots of orders. Yet, Trevor felt Martin was more capable.
After all, Martin had worked for Trevor for many years, so it was easier to work with Martin.
Meanwhile, in the room, Jessica was feeling anxious. She had only considered Trevor's feelings just now and forgot her kids were waiting for her back home.
"What's wrong?" Trevor asked gently, sensing her worry.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gulliford. I agreed too hastily just now and forgot I have family members back home I need to take care of. Please excuse me. I may need to leave," Jessica replied, lowering her eyes. She needed to go back to cook for her children.
"Family members?"
Naturally, Trevor knew she was worried about their children.
How unfortunate. I really want to let our kids stay with me, but I'm afraid Jessica will run away, he thought.
"Yes, family, and they're very important to me," Jessica replied with a nod.
"No problem. I will give you some money to hire some nannies to take care of them, or I can send some people from the Gulliford residence over Trevor suggested warmly.
In truth, he had already sent some people over to take care of the children, but he didn't want Jessica to know. "No."
Jessica shook her head. It's too dangerous for the kids to be without adults, but I can't let Trevor know. I must return, she thought anxiously. "Jessica, do you believe me?" he asked, grabbing her hands while staring earnestly at her.

Jessica sighed deeply, as there was a sliver of mistrust.
"Jessica, I can send a few of my most trusted subordinates over. No accidents will happen, and they definitely can protect your family Ten, fifty, or a hundred people. You can pick how many you want swear nothing will happen to your family in these ten days."
Holding up three fingers, Trevor continued, "If any harm comes to them, I will pay with my life. Please stay by my side for ten days."
Jessica took a deep breath and

communication with them.
"Fine," she said with a sigh and nodded.
Actually, her children were very capable, so she need not worry. However, in a mother's eyes, her child would always be a child, regardless of how capable he was.
"I'll find some nannies, and you can call the shots. Don't worry. I would poke my head into your business," Trevor declared before turning to leave.
