Emma knocked lightly before stepping into the CEO’s office. “What are you doing here?” Justin frowned, his face still clouded with irritation from the earlier meeting. Emma approached, handing over a file. With a touch of feigned sorrow, she said, “With Mr. Spencer suspended, I couldn’t find anyone to approve this document. I had no choice but to bring it to you.” She placed the file on his desk and casually slipped in a complaint about Sam. “For some reason, Mr. Spencer rejected this file several times. I revised it over and over again, and each time I had our department head review it before submitting it. He said there were no issues, yet it still got rejected. “Could you take a look, Justin? Let me know if it’s ready for approval.” In truth, Emma had barely revised the document. She had simply adjusted the activity budget to meet the required standards. Justin, ignoring Emma’s subtle insinuations, picked up the file and quickly scanned its contents. Finding nothin

“Mr. Spencer?” someone called out indignantly, stepping forward as if to knock on the office door. Sam quickly grabbed their arm and shook his head. “Let it go. Sometimes it’s better to stay out of things.”The entire executive team was even more moved by his calm and selfless response. The office door was usually soundproof, but Emma had deliberately left it slightly ajar when she entered, leaving just enough of a gap for Justin’s enraged words to drift outside. Emma, standing with her head lowered, allowed a faint smile to tug at the corners of her lips. Justin no longer trusted Sam and had effectively kicked him out of RC Corporation, vowing never to rehire him. This was exactly the outcome she had planned—the first step in regaining Justin’s attention. In the past, Emily had been the roadblock. Now, with Emily gone and Justin single, Emma’s plan was to bide her time, slowly warming her way into Justin’s life. As long as he remained unmarried, she believed she would

At Mistletoe Villa, Haley received a text from an unknown number. “Do you like the flowers?”Lounging on the sofa with ice cream in hand and the air conditioner blasting, she froze for a moment. Were they from Justin? Her gaze shifted slowly to the bouquet sitting on the coffee table. On the adjacent couch, Helen, who had been scrolling through her phone, happened to look up, meeting Haley’s eyes. Helen had just messaged Zac to confirm that he wasn’t the one who sent the flowers. Haley sighed, got up from the sofa, and carried the vase to the kitchen, tossing the bouquet straight into the trash. “Mommy, why’d you throw the flowers away? If you don’t like them, give them to me!” Alex yelled. Standing on the carpet near the coffee table, he had been pulling petals off the leftover flowers. The bouquet was so large—easily hundreds of flowers. Even after filling the vase, there were plenty left over. Inspired, Alex had decided to save the extra petals for a luxurious flo

Hearing Chase’s words, Alex let out a heavy sigh of relief. Thankfully, Uncle Justin still had a chance to "interview." “Richard, stop scaring the kids with stuff like this!” Haley said firmly as she gently ruffled Alex’s soft hair. She had no intention of ever remarrying or finding a stepdad for her boys. Richard pouted dramatically. “Got it, sis!” Chase stepped in to change the subject. “When’s Uncle Wilfred getting off work? Let’s go out for dinner tonight.” “Yeah, yeah! Let’s go to Pearl Pavilion, the place we went to last time when Mommy attended the banquet. The seafood there was so delicious!” Alex agreed excitedly. The whole family was together, except for Evelyn.“Pearl Pavilion?” Haley raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t they say last time that the waitlist was three months long? When did you guys manage to eat there?” She glanced at Helen suspiciously. Helen chuckled awkwardly, brushing off the question. “Pearl Pavilion? Alex must be confused. I just took him out f

“Hello, Grandpa White and Grandma White!” Alex greeted sweetly. “Oh my, what a handsome little boy!” Mrs. White exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy. The smile on her well-maintained face even brought out a few faint wrinkles. “Your name is Alex, right? Come here and let Grandma hold you!” Overwhelmed with excitement, she completely ignored the “White” part of her title. Looking at Alex’s adorable face, which bore a striking resemblance to Zac when he was little, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled. Was she officially a grandma now? “That rascal!” she thought. If he hadn’t kept this child and his mother a secret, she could have been enjoying life as a grandmother a long time ago!“Wait, your health isn’t great! You shouldn’t be holding a child. Let me do it!” Mr. White interrupted, quickly scooping Alex from his wife’s arms. Mrs. White glared at him out of the corner of her eye. “You’re the one with health problems! Always trying to take my grandson from me!” she

Mr. White was ready to retire. It was time for Zac to take over the company. Helen glanced at Zac with a puzzled expression, her eyes silently asking, “What’s the deal with your parents?”The unexpected meeting had already thrown Helen off balance. Was she now expected to join them for dinner too? Zac smiled but said nothing. Meanwhile, Alex, cradled in Mr. White’s arms, had both grandparents laughing heartily at his antics. Zac took Helen’s hand, trying to guide her toward his parents, but she stayed rooted in place. “Um, Mr. White, Mrs. White,” Helen began politely, “I’m here with my family for dinner tonight, and they’re already waiting for me inside the restaurant. I won’t join you. I’ll take Alex and leave now, but I’ll visit another day.” She turned to Alex and said, “Alex, come down from Grandpa White’s arms.” Mr. and Mrs. White exchanged a look before setting Alex down gently. “Was there a misunderstanding? Or did Zac not handle this properly?” they tho

Back in the reserved private dining room, Mrs. White began her barrage of questions. “Where is she from? Helen, that’s her name, right? I don’t recall any prominent families in Lincourt City with a daughter by that name.”She continued, “And what’s going on between you two? Don’t tell me you secretly got married!” Mr. White chimed in, his voice booming with authority. “You kept such a major life event from us, your own parents? And you even had a child? How much has she had to endure because of you?“Arrange a meeting with her family soon, get the marriage license, and start planning the wedding. Do you hear me?” The thought of retirement lit up Mr. White’s face. Once Zac settled down, he could retire, spend his days at the park, and enjoy being a grandpa. No more early mornings or keeping up with the stress of managing a company. Zac, now scolded into stunned silence, finally managed to speak. “Wait, wait, wait! Alex isn’t our child! He’s her nephew—her sister’s son! Helen

Not long after, Alex piped up again, “Aunt Helen, if you’re not going to be with Uncle Zac, who are you planning to date and marry?” “No one.” “Then are you planning to live alone forever?” “I don’t mind! Dealing with you every day is already exhausting enough!” Alex imagined his aunt growing old alone, the scene so bleak he quickly shook his head to banish the thought. “Then, Aunt Helen, when you’re old, I’ll take care of you!” Helen’s forehead twitched in exasperation. “Oh, thank you so much!” When they finally found the private dining room, Wilfred had already arrived. “You two took so long just to find some makeup? Even Wilfred got here before you did,” Richard teased. “Mind your own business.” Helen shot him a look, then quickly glanced at Wilfred. Her heart raced. Did her brother see her and Zac earlier? Wilfred showed no sign of suspicion, calmly chatting with Haley as if nothing had happened. Once everyone had arrived, the server began bringing

“Chase, we’re taking Alex to the hospital. Be good and wait at home.” “No! I want to go with him.” Before Helen could respond, Alex, who had only been whining about his stomach pain moments ago, suddenly started thrashing. “I want Chase to come with me! We were born together, so we have to see the doctor together too!” Helen rubbed her temples. The noise was giving her a headache. She looked over at Evelyn, silently asking for permission. Evelyn nodded. “Fine, go together. Just make sure you come back after.” “Okay.” Chase agreed immediately. With that, the four of them headed to the car. *Zac carried Alex through Lichfield hospital at a brisk pace, heading straight for the pediatrics department. Helen and Chase followed closely behind. Suddenly, Alex lifted his head from Zac’s shoulder and said, “Uncle Zac, I want a lollipop. Can you buy me one?” Before Zac could answer, Helen snapped. “Are you serious? You’re crying like you’re on the verge of death

“Enough with the small talk. Your grandma has already agreed to let him stay. From now on, we’re all living together so you can talk anytime you want.” Helen pulled Zac over, positioning him beside her. “You’ll sit here.” Originally, Wilfred had been sitting at the head of the table, but now that Evelyn had arrived in Haven State, he naturally gave up his seat and moved down. As she entered the dining room, the others stood by their chairs, waiting for her to sit first. The Walker family had very few dining rules, except on occasions like this, when there were more people present and Evelyn was home. “Let’s eat,” Evelyn said, and everyone picked up their utensils. Zac didn’t feel out of place at all. This was nothing compared to the formal settings he was used to. Meanwhile, Alex took a few bites of his food, but his eyes kept darting around, filled with mischief.His mind was already spinning with ideas.First, he glanced at his brother across the table.The

Justin turned on the shower, yanked off his clothes, and stepped under the rushing water. Like a man possessed, he scrubbed at his skin over and over again. No matter how hard he scrubbed, he still felt filthy. Would peeling off this entire layer of skin and growing a new one make him clean again? If he could shed this skin, would Haley stop looking at him with disgust? *The next morning, Chase and Alex woke up early. Last night, afraid of being scolded by Evelyn, they had pretended to sleep in the car, planning to wake up once they got to their rooms. But somewhere along the way, they actually fell asleep. Alex slumped over the table, still groggy. “Chase, what do we do? I don’t think Mommy likes Uncle Justin very much.” “Take out ‘I don’t think.’ She definitely doesn’t like him.” Chase pulled out a small sealed plastic bag containing a few strands of hair. He was racking his brain trying to figure out how to get it to the lab for DNA testing. The

Their eyes met. Just as Haley turned to look at him, Justin caught her gaze. But instead of the usual coldness or indifference, her eyes held something unexpected—sympathy. Why? Confused, he got up from the couch and walked toward her. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” His eyes flicked toward the TV screen. “Why did you turn off the screen mirroring? Did Chase or Alex message you?“Or are they acting up at home?” Every question revolved around her and the kids. His focus was entirely on them, like a man whose world had begun to orbit around his family. Haley watched him come closer and closer. He was almost at the edge of the bed. Her brain barely had time to react before she instinctively lifted her uninjured leg and kicked him away. Justin stopped, but instead of backing off, he caught her foot in his hand. “Does this one hurt?” His voice was calm. “Or is it just cold? I can warm it up for you.” Without waiting for a response, he cradled

“Oh.” Helen responded sweetly, her voice soft and obedient. But in the very next second, she grabbed Zac’s hand and turned, dragging him upstairs. “Forget about him. Come on, I’ll show you my room.” “Okay.” The two of them raced up the stairs, disappearing into her room, leaving Richard fuming alone in the living room. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he tried to catch his breath, watching them shamelessly flaunt their affection in front of him. Who was he even trying to protect here? It was all for Helen’s sake! Even if they had a marriage certificate, they hadn’t had a wedding yet! Living together like this—and in their family home, no less—was outrageous! “Ugh! They’re going to be the death of me!”Frustrated, Richard shook his head and placed a hand over his chest, trying to calm himself down. Upstairs, after shutting the door behind them, Helen suddenly remembered that she didn’t have any of Zac’s pajamas here. “Wait here a sec.”She opened the

“So what now? Should we wake Alex up?” Zac suggested. “No! No! No! Don’t wake me up!” Alex screamed in his head. He had no interest in going home just to face Evelyn’s scolding. “Maybe just let him be,” Zac added with a chuckle. “He’s had a long day, and to be fair, he was really well-behaved at dinner. Unlike those other kids who wouldn’t stop crying at their tables.” Then, with a teasing smirk, he threw in another line. “Let’s just let him sleep peacefully.” After all, Alex was the first one to call him ‘Uncle Zac.’ Lying in the backseat, Alex couldn’t agree more. He had been the best-behaved at dinner. He didn’t even need anyone to feed him! Helen let out a small laugh and shook her head. This was the first time she realized Zac could be so sly. She was too exhausted from the day to argue. She bent down, preparing to carry one of the kids inside. But Zac stopped her. “I’ll make two trips.” He flashed her an ambiguous smile before leaning in close.

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,
