“Mom, you need to eat a proper breakfast from now on,” Alex said, mimicking the tone Haley used when she scolded him for skipping meals. “Otherwise, your stomach will get upset.”Haley’s eyes curved into a smile. “Alright, Mom will remember that.” They took a detour, avoiding Justin’s group, and left the amusement park. Across the street was Peninsula Restaurant. Since it wasn’t lunchtime yet, there were only a handful of diners. Haley, worried that sitting near the windows might risk running into Justin again, decided to take Alex into one of the private dining rooms. *Following the time and location Justin had sent him, Zac drove to Peninsula Restaurant. When he entered, a server approached him. “Good afternoon, sir. How many in your party?” “I have a reservation for table six,” Zac replied. The server guided him to a table by the window, where a long-haired woman was already seated. She matched the photo Justin had sent. Raising an eyebrow, Zac thought to

As they exited the restroom, Helen happened to see Zac pushing the door open to enter. Left with no other choice, she stayed in the restroom area with Alex for a while, assuming Zac would head back to his private dining room soon, giving them a chance to slip past unnoticed. To her surprise, instead of returning to a private room, Zac took a seat at a window-side table directly across from the restroom.Across from him sat a long-haired woman, and the two seemed to be chatting. Helen couldn’t hear what Zac and the woman were saying, but it was obvious they were on a date. The restroom had a faint scent of air freshener, but the smell was far from pleasant. Adding to her discomfort, her legs were starting to go numb after walking all morning. Just then, Haley called her, telling them to come back for lunch. Unable to wait any longer, Helen seized the moment when Zac lowered his head to sip his coffee. Quickly scooping Alex into her arms, she dashed down the hallway as fast

After what felt like an eternity, the ring of Alex’s smartwatch finally interrupted them. Only then did Zac reluctantly release Helen’s lips. Quick as a flash, Alex hit the hang-up button, not wanting to spoil the moment. He hadn’t had his fill of peeking yet! Zac glanced down at Alex and asked without hesitation, “Is Alex… our child? Did you secretly have him without telling me?” Helen choked, coughing uncontrollably, caught off guard by his question. Alex’s jaw dropped in disbelief. “What? Mr. White is my dad?!” The two pairs of astonished eyes turned to Helen for answers. Zac patted her back thoughtfully with one hand, while his other arm remained securely around her waist, ensuring she wouldn’t bolt. Once Helen managed to catch her breath, she shot him a furious glare. “Zac White, stop letting your imagination run wild! Alex isn’t your child.” Alex, standing below them, let out a quiet sigh of relief, patting his little chest. “Phew, Mr. White isn’t my dad.

Zac raised three fingers, his expression earnest, as though making a solemn oath. “I can’t spend another night alone in a cold, empty bed,” he thought.Helen shot him a glare as she walked away, snapping, “Who’s your wife? Stop saying nonsense.”As she rounded the corner with Alex in tow, Alex suddenly broke his silence. “Aunt Helen, is this like one of those scenes in a TV drama where the main couple meets again and gets back together?”Helen immediately clamped a hand over Alex’s mouth, leaning down to whisper sharply in his ear, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s getting back together? And don’t you dare tell your mom about this, got it?”Alex nodded quickly, his little head bobbing in agreement.But inside, Alex was skeptical. “Does Aunt Helen think I’m clueless? Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t see what’s going on. Mr. White kissed her! This is totally like one of those TV drama couples. At least… it had to be a long time ago,” he thought to himself.When

William had his own office next to Justin’s, mirroring Sam’s office on the other side. When Justin was working, William often used his office to rest. As soon as Justin gave the order, William grabbed his car keys without a word and followed him out. *At the Peninsula Restaurant, Alex begged to return to the amusement park after finishing lunch. Haley, however, worried they might run into Justin again. She quickly made an excuse, saying, “Alex, it’s too hot this afternoon. Look at your little face! It’s already red from the sun. Let’s wait for a cooler day, and I promise we’ll come back. Okay?” She pulled up the camera on her phone, switching to selfie mode to show Alex his flushed cheeks. Alex pouted, leaning back in his chair with a sulky look. “You’re lying, Mommy. You said after lunch we’d go back, and now you’re going back on your word.” Haley and Helen exchanged a guilty glance. Neither wanted to lie to the boy, but they couldn’t risk a second encounter with Ju

In the dimly lit room, Justin sat alone, his silhouette slumped, resembling an abandoned orphan. The computer screen emitted a faint glow, highlighting his desolate figure as he held the photo he had brought along. Amid the crowd in the image, Emily’s profile stood out—small yet unmistakable. It was so subtle that it could easily be overlooked, yet vivid enough to be etched into Justin’s mind with every detail of her face. The computer screen dimmed further due to inactivity, casting a softer light on Justin’s downturned face as he gazed at the photo. The surveillance room exuded an overwhelming loneliness. Meanwhile, in the private room at the Peninsula Restaurant, Haley had grown increasingly uneasy after seeing Justin at the amusement park. Unable to shake her concern, she reached out to Richard, who was in Merika State. She requested he hack into the surveillance system to delete all footage of her and her group. Coincidentally, Richard was testing a facial recognition

Helen avoided Haley’s gaze, her eyes darting away. Haley tilted her head, puzzled by her sister’s behavior. Back then, during their trip to the seaside villa, Helen had nudged Haley into the dance floor before sneaking off to the rocky shore, where she met Zac White. The two hit it off immediately, their personalities aligning effortlessly, and they exchanged contact information. At the time, she had no idea Zac was Justin’s closest friend. After leaving the villa, they continued to meet up casually, bonding over food and shared interests. Somewhere along the way, their dynamic shifted, becoming undeniably more intimate. Then came the night at Majestic Bar, where Helen and Haley gathered a group of young studs and were picking their favorites. What started as a fun evening ended with Helen and Zac unexpectedly winding up in bed together.It was only after that night she learned Zac and Justin weren’t just acquaintances but childhood best friends. When she tried to create

Helen scrolled through the endless messages from Zac, each one filled with questions and pleas:“Where are you staying now?“Why did you disappear without a word five years ago? Where have you been all this time?“Tell me where you are. I’ll come find you.“I went to your old place, and the landlord said you moved out.“Can’t you at least respond? I know I messed up, even though I don’t know how. Just tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll fix it! If nothing else, at least let me understand why!”Helen read through his messages, groaning as she flopped onto her bed. Frustrated, she pulled the blanket over her head, only to rip it off moments later, feeling suffocated. Her freshly washed hair ended up in a tangled mess as she ruffled it furiously. “Zac White, you’re so annoying!” she muttered to herself. “I should’ve just given you a fake number.” Unable to hold back her irritation, she grabbed her phone and typed a furious response. “Zac, you’re a total jerk. Messing around

“Sis, I’m pretty handsome, right?” Justin asked, grinning proudly.And just like that, his voice shattered the illusion Haley had briefly fallen into.She gave him a look. “Don’t flatter yourself. Let’s go.”The two headed downstairs, where William was already waiting to drive them to RC Corporation. He pulled into the underground parking garage, and they made their way up to the executive floor.Inside the president’s office, Haley still wasn’t fully at ease. She had him run through the negotiation script one more time, rehearsing the key points like a stage play. Only when Justin delivered his lines with calm precision did she finally relax.“This shipment is critical for the international project’s timeline,” she reminded him. “You read through the materials yesterday—you get how important this is, right?”Justin nodded.“Don’t stress too much. Just channel that cool, commanding energy you had a minute ago,” Haley said, coaching him seriously. “Get in there and bluff your way

Following Haley into the kitchen, Justin was about to speak when he caught the sound of her voice—she was chatting with Helen.Haley had just poured herself a glass of water from the fridge. Helen, as always, was talking non-stop at her side.“Sis, with Justin calling you ‘sis’ every day, doesn’t it kinda feel like you’ve got yourself a younger, puppy-eyed boyfriend?” Her tone was teasing, full of mischief. “Kinda like that matchmaking event I set up for you back then.”She nudged Haley’s shoulder, waggling her eyebrows suggestively.That one line pulled both of them back to that night at the bar.Haley shot her a look. “You’re pregnant. Can you not let your imagination run wild for once? If you’re that curious, have Zac call you ‘sis’ every night.”“Oh, come on. What’s the harm in a little gossip?” Helen giggled. “Honestly though, this amnesia version of Justin is kind of adorable. All innocent and wide-eyed. You’re telling me you don’t feel anything?”“No,” Haley answered flat

Haley pressed her fingers to her temple, her headache building. “Prepare a full briefing. I want all the contract details, background on the partner company, and a response script. He needs to memorize everything by tomorrow. He’s going to that meeting.”She gestured toward Justin, clearly making him responsible.“Yes, ma’am,” Sam replied.“And one more thing,” Haley added, her tone sharp. “Find a new supplier. Once this delivery is done, terminate the contract. We’re not working with unreliable partners.”“Understood.”As Sam left, Haley turned to Justin, looking down at him from where she stood. “Memorize the talking points. Lock the key contract terms in your head. Tomorrow, you’re facing their CEO. Think you can handle it?”Justin blinked up at her with wide, innocent eyes. “Don’t worry, Sis. If it’s something you asked me to do, I’ll make sure I get it right!”*That evening at Mistletoe Villa, Helen had just returned from a prenatal checkup. Everyone was gathered in the l

“You want your memory back, right? Great. Go ahead and read through these files and sign off on them. That’ll jog your memory in no time.”Haley pushed the day’s workload onto Justin’s desk. Memory loss or not, she was sure his business instincts and decision-making skills were still in there somewhere.It was just like when she had lost her memory. Her painting skills and foreign languages had still been there, buried in her subconscious.Justin didn’t need to recall every detail of the past. As long as he could function in the office and resume his role as president, that was good enough.He froze. Sure, he wanted to grow closer to Haley and get her to care about him again, but going back to work so soon? That hadn’t exactly been the plan.Still, realizing what she wanted, he didn’t argue. Instead, he obediently picked up the first document and started reading carefully.Then, suddenly, he asked, “Sis, what’s the project timeline for the international expansion? I don’t remembe

Zac jogged off in a hurry, not daring to stick around and witness more of Justin’s embarrassment.Justin, having failed to sneak into Haley’s room, had no choice but to sulk back to the guest room the housekeeper had prepared for him.*The next morning, Haley came downstairs for breakfast. She hadn’t slept well—staying up late to work, only to get riled up by Justin all over again. The dark circles under her eyes were impossible to hide, no matter how much concealer she applied.She stepped into the dining room and spotted Justin already sitting at the table.“Morning, sis!” he chirped.He looked every bit the picture of youthful energy, dressed in a clean athletic tracksuit, his expression bright and full of life. He really did look like a high school senior.Haley took one look at his well-rested, cheerful face and felt an unexplainable surge of irritation rise in her chest.She didn’t say a word. Ignoring him completely, she walked to her seat and sat down. Her gaze swept t

After dinner, Haley returned to her room to get some work done. There were a few reports she still needed to read through, so she made herself a cup of coffee for a quick energy boost.She had just stepped inside and closed the door when a sudden force hit from behind, pushing through the door and into her back. She stumbled forward, nearly spilling the coffee all over herself.Her brows furrowed in irritation. She turned around—only to see Justin already halfway into her room, the door swinging shut behind him.He froze, looking immediately guilty. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!” he blurted out.His voice carried that youthful warmth, clear and gentle like an 18-year-old boy. His lowered gaze and sheepish expression were tinged with a kind of helpless remorse that made it hard for Haley to stay angry.She stepped back, putting distance between them. Her tone turned cool. “What are you doing in here?”Justin took that as permission to step fully inside and shut the door behind him
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 716
At that moment, Justin furrowed his brows and stared at Haley with confusion, as if trying hard to place her face. After a long pause, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He pointed at Haley and exclaimed, “Sis!”That one word stopped Zac in his tracks. He blinked. Did Justin… just slip into little brother mode?And he wasn’t the only one thrown off. Chase and Alex stood frozen, mouths slightly open. Alex placed a hand on Justin’s forehead, then leaned in to check again.No fever.So why was he calling their mom sister?And now… what were they supposed to call him?Haley's gaze locked on Justin, intense and searching. She scanned him from head to toe, as if looking for a clue—anything to explain this strange behavior. But she found nothing.Justin, noticing her silence, instantly wilted. His lips curled into a small pout. “Is it because I’m useless? Is that why you’re ignoring me, sis?”“Sis?” Haley turned slowly toward Zac, her voice low, suspicious. “What is that abou

Zac straightened up and wiped the last traces of tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.“Haley’s fine,” he said. “Just a few minor injuries. You’ve been out for over two weeks. She healed a long time ago. Right now, she’s temporarily managing RC Corporation for you.“She went on a business trip to that island project you were working on. I heard the scenery’s amazing. Chase and Alex went with her.”“Managing?” Justin repeated, his voice faint.“Yeah,” Zac nodded. “She didn’t accept the assets or shares you left her. She’s just acting as president until you wake up and can take over again.”Zac hadn’t originally known all this. He had only overheard Haley explaining it to the family after she agreed to step in. He had been surprised, even though, in hindsight, it made sense. Justin had written up a will before the rescue mission, leaving everything to Haley. It was bold but not unexpected.Justin lowered his gaze, eyes dimming as he quietly muttered, “Temp

“The building at the heart of the island is a massive wedding chapel,” the staff member explained cheerfully. “The first floor is for the ceremony itself, the second for the banquet. The third floor is reserved for dressing and makeup, and from the fourth floor up, it’s all accommodations. The very top level is the bridal suite.”The more he spoke, the deeper Haley’s frown became. Something wasn’t adding up.“So this is an all-inclusive wedding venue?” she cut in.The man chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh, no, no. This place isn’t open to the public. Mr. Yates built it exclusively for his wife. Just the two of them. One couple. That’s it.”Haley was at a loss for words.Even Alex, the more clueless of the twins, caught on. His eyes sparkled as he tugged at Haley’s hand. “Mommy! Uncle Justin built this place for you! It’s so romantic!”Five years ago—around the time he and Chase were born—their dad had already been planning a wedding for their mom.Suddenly, Alex didn’t feel quit
