[Sir, are you okay?] Deborah asked when she noticed that the older man was staring blankly for a moment.

"Eh... oh yes, sorry Deborah, I was just thinking about something."

1 understand."

"Well, the important thing is that with these papers, we're going to put that family in jail," the detective declared.

[Thank you for your support.]

"You're welcome. On the contrary, I regret that justice is coming to you so late."

[What matters is that they will pay for their crimes.]

"Yes..." he commented, and just then there was a knock on the door. "Come in."

"Debbie, love, are you here?" Jayden said as he opened the door.

[Hi, love.] She greeted him, receiving a kiss.

""Detective."

"Mr. Cooper."

"How was it?"

"We're on the right track."

"Excellent," Jayden said, shaking the older man's hand and discreetly receiving a piece of paper, which he quickly slipped into his clothes before looking at his beloved. "Well, love, let's go today, we're taking the opportunity to have dinner with my parents." [That sounds good.]

Jayden took Deborah's hand and they began to walk.

"So what did you do during the day?" he asked while helping her walk.

[Well, this morning I was working, and since I lost track of time, I went out to get a burger at the place near home.]

"The one with the playground?" he asked, to which she nodded. "Next time we'll go together- I heard they're getting popular for their fries."

[They definitely tasted good.] Deborah could recall the flavor of the fries she ate.

"And that's why you decided to come to the interrogation. Did they call you over?"

[Not exactly, it's just that...]

"Where did you go without permission?" The couple stopped when they saw Nicholas standing in front of them with a frown. "Deborah, I told you to wait for me," he complained, taking Deborah's hand.

"I'm taking my girlfriend to dinner with my parents, and I don't need permission for that," Jayden declared,

reclaiming his wife's hand and embracing her.

"Very funny, but I haven't given you my permission yet.

"Mr. Foster, I understand you care for Deborah like a daughter, but..."

[Actually, Jayden, I just found out that he's my biological father.]

"What?! Noooo, wait, that's not fair! I do have a real father-in-law, and Roger doesn't," he complained, hugging her and pouting.

I didn't know either.] Deborah was amused as she hugged him back.

"That's right. Now let's take advantage of this to have your first dinner with your father-in-law," Nicholas teased.

Jayden made a face, but upon seeing his partner's playful smile, he just sighed.

It looks like you're about to suffer," Christian commented, coming up beside him. "But before you leave, Deborah, can you give me your signature here?" he said, showing her some papers. "It's the lawsuit written for the kidnapping you suffered at Frederick's hands, and the other is the compensation asking for everything they've stolen from you to date."

Sure] Deborah took the papers and signed them according to Christian's instructions.

"Perfect, I'll file them and then head home," Christian said, organizing the papers into folders. "By the way, Deborah, about the pizza dinner..."

[That's right, I haven't ordered the food yet. If you want, I can order it now, and by the time we get home, it will be ready.]

"Did you have plans, love?"

[Yes, I arranged to have dinner with Caroline to catch up since she was very busy this morning, and we didn't see each other.]

"Ah, I didn't know. Well, if you want, I'll call my parents to let them know that..."

"Wait, actually I was going to ask Deborah if we could postpone the dinner until tomorrow because my mother just called and told me that Caroline went to bed early because she was very tired from the move."

[In that case, we can move the dinner to tomorrow.]

"That sounds better, and we can even buy ice cream. I'm free tomorrow and will help Carrie with what's left, Christian said.

"I like that plan," Jayden agreed.

With that, Christian said goodbye to them. He would present the lawsuit papers and then head home to sleep as it had been a long day.

Meanwhile, Jayden, Deborah, and Nicholas got into Jayden's car to head to the Cooper mansion for a family dinner.
