Haley reached out to grab the gift, intending to ask the staff to toss it later. With so many boxes, losing track of one or two seemed inevitable. Evelyn quickly stopped her. “It’s just a gift, Haley. If Chase likes it, let him open it and see.” “You can’t live life fearing every little thing,” she added pointedly, her words meant more for her eldest daughter than anyone else. Haley froze for a moment, taking in her mother’s words. She was right—it was just a gift. They all lived on the same planet, and no one could avoid crossing paths forever. It wasn’t worth living in constant fear. Slowly, Haley withdrew her hand. Chase glanced at his grandmother, then at his mom, before lowering his gaze to the box and carefully unwrapping it. Inside were two kids’ smartwatches. RC Corporation’s CEO, Justin Yates, rarely concerned himself with the details of gifts sent to business partners. This one had been personally chosen by Sam. Chase’s face lit up. He loved gadgets, and whi

Seeing her response, Justin didn’t press the issue further and got into the car, leaving without another word.When they arrived at the pre-booked hotel, Justin collected his room key from the front desk. Moments later, Emma’s car conveniently pulled up. At the reception, she greeted him with a casual smile. “Justin, if I’d known you were staying at this hotel too, I’d have hitched a ride with you.” As luck—or design—would have it, their rooms were not only in the same hotel but directly next to each other. Standing by her door, Emma leaned slightly against the frame, facing him. “Justin, how about grabbing a casual dinner together tonight? There’s this private dining spot nearby that’s amazing.”Justin, already halfway inside his room, responded coldly, “I have a dinner meeting tonight. Maybe another time.” Before she could offer to accompany him, his door closed, cutting her off mid-sentence. Across the hall, Sam and William quietly entered their own rooms, their profession

In the afternoon, Justin’s private jet landed back in Lincourt City. On the way home, his phone rang—it was his mother, Heidi.“Hello, Mom,” Justin answered.“Are you free tonight after work? Come home and have dinner with me. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you,” Heidi said, not waiting for his reply before continuing. “And don’t try to use work as an excuse. I already called your secretarial team. They told me you don’t have any meetings, events, or overtime scheduled for tonight.”Justin’s expression darkened as he shot a warning glance at Sam in the front passenger seat. Catching his boss’s stern look in the rearview mirror, Sam understood the message loud and clear: “Keep your team in check.”Awkwardly, Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose. How was he supposed to know one of the assistants would leak his boss’s schedule to Heidi? Now he was caught in the crossfire.“Mom, if you miss me, I’ll come visit. But you can’t keep using that as an excuse to sneakily set me up on blind dat

In Haven State, Justin and Zac had just wrapped up a busy morning of work and were stepping out of the central hospital building when a small figure darted toward them from across the street. “Hi! I got separated from my aunt. Can I borrow your phone to call her?” It was Alex. From afar, he had already spotted these two men. One of them exceptionally handsome. Definitely someone who would match his mom perfectly. “Oh? Where’d this little guy come from?” Zac walked over, ruffling Alex’s hair. He turned to Justin and asked, “Do you know him?” Justin shook his head, his tone cool and detached. “No.” That cold, detached voice—why did it sound so familiar? Alex wondered, squinting at Justin thoughtfully. He couldn’t quite place it, so he decided not to dwell on it. Alex never liked making things hard for himself. Zac scanned the area, frowning. “What’s your name? Where are your parents? How could they lose track of you like this?“Tell you what,” Zac continued. “How ab

“Hello, Aunt!” Alex’s cheerful voice came through the phone. Helen froze mid-step as she was about to push the door open, her heart plunging into freefall like a roller coaster. Hearing Alex’s voice brought her crashing back to solid ground. “Alex, where did you go? Do you have any idea how worried I was when you disappeared?” Helen’s voice trembled, a mix of relief and frustration. The thought of losing Alex on her watch terrified her. How could she face her sister, or the entire family, if something had happened to him? “Um…” Alex’s big, expressive eyes darted nervously, guilt flashing across his face. “Uh-oh, Aunt Helen sounds mad,” he thought to himself.Justin and Zac stood nearby, keeping an eye on Alex as he made the call. Worried that Alex might struggle to explain their location, Justin reached out, ready to take the phone and provide the address himself. But just as his hand extended, Alex confidently recited their exact location into the phone, his words cl

“Oh, okay, Aunt,” Alex replied obediently, handing the phone back to Justin. Although Alex didn’t understand why his aunt didn’t come over to thank them—something he found quite impolite—he knew he couldn’t afford to be rude himself. With a polite smile, he sincerely said, “Thank you, Mr. Yates and Mr. White. My aunt is waiting for me over there, so I’ll head back now.”Justin frowned, his concern evident. What kind of parent or guardian lets a child wander off and doesn’t even come to fetch them? Letting the kid walk back alone felt irresponsible.“We’ll walk you over,” he said firmly, unwilling to let the child go by himself.Alex waved his hand. “It’s fine, Mr. Yates. It’s really close! I’ll call you when I get home, okay?” A glimmer of mischief flashed in Alex’s big, sparkling eyes. Now that he had Mr. Yates’s phone number, staying in touch wouldn’t be a problem. “Alright, but be careful. We’ll watch you until you’re safe.”“Got it!” Alex chirped, jogging to the corner be

When Sean first saw them again at university, he was thrilled. However, when he learned that Haley had children and that she had been pregnant during the earthquake, his emotions took a heavy toll. That night, he returned to his dorm and cried in private. Haley’s survival and her safe delivery were nothing short of miraculous, but the thought of her enduring so much pain enraged him. He cursed Justin inwardly for being such a bastard. The next morning, when they crossed paths again, Sean’s eyes were visibly swollen. After graduating, Sean chose to stay in Merika State, where he launched a tech company that quickly became a major success. Meanwhile, Haley and Helen teamed up to open an art gallery. Haley’s name made a triumphant return to the art scene, with her focusing on her creations while Helen managed operations and acted as her agent. *At the gallery, Haley donned an apron and worked alongside her team, arranging paintings and preparing the exhibition space for an up

Haley slumped into the front passenger seat, exhaustion etched on her face. Helen started the car and handed her a coffee. “Here, sis, I got you a coffee. Take a sip to perk up.”“Alex, hand the coffee to your mom,” Helen instructed.“Okay,” Alex replied, carefully passing the coffee from the back seat. “Thanks, Alex,” Haley said with a tired smile, taking the cup from him.Lately, her time had been consumed by preparations for the art exhibition, leaving little room to spend with her children. The family had stepped in to help. Alex stayed with Helen, while Chase spent time with Wilfred. They were now on their way to pick up Chase and Wilfred. Tonight, Evelyn had booked a table at a restaurant to celebrate Haley’s upcoming art show, wishing her success in advance. Over the past five years, Haley’s life had been smooth and fulfilling, free of worries and full of support.In Wilfred’s office, he was wrapping up his work while Chase sat at a small desk nearby, studying business m

As Mrs. White spoke, her face lit up with the unmistakable grin of someone deeply invested in her son’s love life. Mr. White took the phone from her, sat down beside her, and grinned just as widely. “That little rascal finally figured out how to chase a woman.” As a father, he was proud. But after the initial excitement, a hint of worry crept in. “Wait, no. I need to call him. I need to find out exactly what’s going on.” What if Zac didn’t know how to handle things properly? As a father, it was his duty to guide his son through this! But before he could dial, Mrs. White swiftly pressed down on his hand, stopping him. “They’re getting along just fine. Why would you call and ruin the moment? Do you want to be a third wheel?” “So… we’re not asking?” Mrs. White thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. “We’ll text instead!” “Good idea.” *Meanwhile, Zac was completely focused on enjoying grilled skewers with his wife and nephews. He had no idea his cousi

For the past few days, Chase had been completely wrapped up in tracking down the person who had tried to harm his mom. He had hardly slept, let alone had any fun. Now that they had identified the real culprit, there was no way he was just going to head straight home. “I’m not eating. Let’s just go home.” “No way. After that much ‘exercise,’ you’re not hungry?”Helen’s face immediately flushed red. She shot a glare at Zac. What nonsense was he spouting in front of the kids?! Luckily, Alex didn’t pick up on the double meaning. He was just excited. “Yay! That means we don’t have to go home! Uncle Zac, you’re the best! I like you the most!” One sentence was all it took for Zac to start grinning from ear to ear.Smugly, he glanced at Helen and raised a brow, as if to say, “See? Even Alex is on my side.” Helen’s glare instantly shifted to the backseat. This little brat—whose side was he really on?! In the end, she had no choice but to give in. She called Evelyn a

“Child support,” Justin repeated under his breath, as if still processing the words.He had children now. He was a father. And like any father, he had a responsibility to provide for them. Just like the chairman of B&J Corporation, who had his own family, Justin had a family now too. But… Chase and Alex were already five. Did that mean they no longer needed vaccinations? He had missed five whole years of their lives. Five years. There were countless milestones he could have been part of, yet he had missed them all. That couldn’t happen again. From now on, he wouldn't allow himself to be absent from any part of their lives. He had to be there. Of course, what Justin meant by "seeing the kids occasionally" and what Haley understood were two very different things. Haley thought "occasionally" meant once or twice a year. Justin meant "occasionally" as in every single day. As in—he would see them multiple times a day. Haley, still lying on the bed,

Justin’s grandfather left the shares specifically for his great-grandsons. That could only mean one thing—he had met the boys. Justin's eyes grew misty again. Haley remained still, her back still turned to him, her voice laced with cold indifference. “You don’t need to thank me. The kids have nothing to do with you.” Yes, he was their biological father, but he had contributed nothing beyond his DNA. He hadn't been there, hadn't raised them, hadn't even known about them. So as far as she was concerned, they weren’t his. “Haley, I… I’m not trying to take them from you. I—I don’t want custody… No, that’s not what I mean, I do want them—” Justin, usually sharp and articulate in business, was completely tongue-tied in front of her. He sounded like a clueless, stammering kid, struggling to get the words out right. His desperation was obvious, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. Haley suddenly sat up, her voice sharp and unwavering. “Chase and Alex are my children.

Helen turned to Haley, slightly stunned, her expression silently asking if this was real. Haley shrugged and spread her hands. “Same as earlier today—Chase was defending Alex back then too.” Helen let out a breath, half exasperated, half amused. But she wasn’t about to let the brothers off just because of Chase’s plea. With a swift motion, she smacked each of them on the backside twice. Their cries echoed through the room, making Justin, still hiding in the side bedroom, frown deeply. Was Helen being too rough? The boys were actually crying out in pain. Outside, Alex clutched his behind, giving it a quick rub. As soon as the sting faded, he was back to his usual energetic self. Helen never actually hit him hard—just enough to make a point. Compared to punching a sandbag, this was nothing. Chase, on the other hand, wasn’t used to this at all. He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling an unfamiliar discomfort.After all, this was the first time in his life he had e

When Helen finished changing and glanced out the window, she finally realized that the sky had already turned dark. Her eyes darted to the clock on the wall. “Eight o’clock?!” Her voice shot up several octaves, practically loud enough to shake the ceiling. “Zac White, look what you’ve done!” “My bad, my bad. We’ll go pick up the kids right now.” At this moment, Zac wasn’t complaining about his chest pain anymore. He quickly admitted his mistake, so much so that Helen couldn’t even find a reason to keep scolding him. Grabbing their bags and car keys, the two of them rushed toward Haley’s hospital room. At the door, Helen reached out to push it open, but Zac beat her to it. Instead of barging in, he knocked loudly—so loudly it was as if he was afraid no one inside would hear him. Helen shot him a suspicious look. “Why are you knocking so hard? It’s not like my sister goes to bed this early. Wait, is Justin in there?” Only now did she remember that Justin existed.

Helen’s face started turning red, and she gave him a light slap. “Be serious, we’re in the hallway.” “Oww!” The moment she touched him, Zac doubled over, groaning dramatically as if he were on the verge of tears. Helen didn’t buy it. “Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad.” She had barely tapped him! “It really hurts! If you don’t believe me, take a look.” As he spoke, he shamelessly started unbuttoning his white coat right there in the hallway, determined to show her his "injury." Helen panicked and quickly reached out to stop him, pressing his coat closed. The two of them wrestled—one trying to undo buttons, the other trying to fasten them back. “We’re in public! If you really want me to check, wait until we’re home tonight.” She was in a rush to pick up the kids and had no time to argue with him here. “Nope. You have to look now. It’s probably bruised, and you need to help me apply medicine.” “Medicine? You’re a grown man! Can you stop acting so fragile?”

“Are Chase and Alex with you?” Evelyn asked.Haley glanced down at the two children in her arms and replied calmly, “Yes, they’re here with me.” “Is Justin at the hospital? Did he see them?” Evelyn asked. Haley hesitated for a moment, her eyes drifting toward Justin, who was standing not far from her. Then, she lied to her mother. “No, he’s not here. I heard he went to meet with a business partner this afternoon.” “Good. I’ll have Helen go pick up the kids.” “Okay.” After hanging up, Haley tossed her phone onto the bed without sparing Justin a second glance. She didn’t explain her plans for the children to him, nor did she feel the need to. Justin wanted to ask, but with Chase and Alex present, he held back. Haley lifted Alex from her lap, wiping away the tears on his cheeks before continuing her lecture. “Do you know who just called?” Alex sniffled. “Grandma…” “That’s right! You two snuck out without telling anyone. Do you know how worried she was?” She

This was the first time Alex had ever seen Mommy this angry. She had never been like this before. He was so scared! “I don’t want Uncle Justin anymore… Mommy~~ hic… hic.”Alex cried so hard that he started hiccupping uncontrollably. No matter how angry Haley was, seeing her little son in such distress broke her heart. She pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath. At the same time, she scolded sternly, “I’m calling home right now. Someone will come and take you both back!” Justin had more bodyguards stationed at the hospital than she did. She didn’t trust him. The only way she could feel at ease was by keeping the children safe at home, surrounded by family. Justin and Chase both wanted to speak, but Chase beat him to it. “Mommy, sneaking to the hospital was my idea. This has nothing to do with Alex. If you want to discipline someone, discipline me.” Justin wanted to step closer but hesitated. He watched as the three of them
