“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

“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
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 1
In Merika State, the two of them lay close together on the hotel bed. As their passion grew, Justin Yates’s husky voice, filled with allure, murmured, “Em, how about having a child with me?”Caught up in the moment, Emily Yates replied without thinking. It wasn’t until they were lying together afterward that she remembered what he had said.“A child?” she repeated, a trace of intimacy lingering in her eyes.The look stirred Justin’s desire again. She was a constant temptation to him. Pushing those thoughts aside, he pulled out a ring and slipped it onto her left hand.“Are you proposing to me?” she asked.“Yes.”“Can I finally have your child now?” Justin asked, smiling. His eyes were warm, but there was no love in them, as if he were gazing past her, waiting for someone else’s answer.“I’ll give you plenty,” she replied, momentarily surprised. Proposing in bed wasn’t exactly romantic or formal, but she didn’t mind. She had waited three years for this moment, and it was worth it
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 2
Tears had fallen without her noticing, smudging the fresh makeup around her eyes. Emily glanced down at the diamond ring on her left hand, a sense of foreboding spreading through her. The sudden appearance of this woman might shatter the happiness she had been waiting for. She couldn’t just stand here. She had to know who this woman was. After a moment to gather herself, she headed back to the hotel.The plane flew from Merika State back to Haven State. At Lichfield Hospital, Emily stood at the door of a hospital room, arms crossed, trying to see inside through the window. Justin’s friend, Zac White, the director of Lichfield Hospital, along with other doctors, were examining the restless woman on the hospital bed. Two female nurses held her steady as they conducted their checks.On the plane, her face had already been cleaned, and she had been given fresh clothes.“Emma Xander? Hasn’t she... disappeared for the past four years?” Zac was shocked. Where had Justin found her?

In the hospital’s back garden, the spring night was still a bit chilly, and a cold wind stirred, adding a bite to the air. The flick of a lighter sounded, and two glowing points of light appeared as smoke drifted, blurring their vision.“So, Emma Xander’s back. What are you going to do?” Zac asked, breaking the silence. He didn’t mention Emily, but they both knew what he meant.One woman was the college sweetheart, the first love who had once saved Justin’s life. The other was the girlfriend who had been with him for three years, sharing his most intimate moments, and now, his fiancée.After a long pause, Justin replied, his voice cold and detached. “She was just a stand-in. She could never compare to Emma.”He went on, his tone utterly indifferent, as if he hadn’t been the one to propose to Emily in Merika State. “The role of Mrs. Yates will never be hers. It can only belong to Emma.”In a way, Emily had saved him the trouble of saying it himself when she had brought up their mar

Emily found the remote to turn on the lights, then looked for something handy to snuff out each candle one by one. Afterward, she retrieved her nightgown from the closet and headed for a shower. As she walked into the bathroom, she noticed the ring still on her left hand. She slipped it off and tossed it into the corner of her jewelry box. When she returned to the bedroom, she brushed all the rose petals off the bed and settled under the covers, pulling them over her head.She instinctively lay on the left side of the bed, where she was used to sleeping. Justin would always hold her close, gradually shifting over to the left with her until they were practically glued together. Now, the right side of the bed was glaringly empty. To fill the space, she scooted to the center, tossing the extra pillow onto the floor, finally feeling comfortable.She turned off the lights and went to sleep.Two days passed without any word from Justin. He was likely at the hospital with Emma or busy wi
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 5
People said billionaires were cold and indifferent in their personal lives, switching women as easily as they changed clothes. For the past three years, Mr. Yates had only been with Miss Yates, making him seem like a devoted man. But it looked like he could move on in an instant. Who knew how long Miss Xander would last by his side?Sam had joined the company three years ago, right when Justin took over RC Corporation, so he wasn’t familiar with the complicated history between Emma and Justin.Inside TC Mall, Emily was browsing through clothes, each piece a far cry from her usual sweet and innocent style.“Babe, switching things up?” Helen asked, watching as Emily picked up a long black dress with a sexy, slitted hem. It would look stunning on Emily’s curves.Emily held the dress up to herself in the mirror, unfazed. “Yep, time for a change. Do you think this would look better with a shawl or a jacket?”She turned to give Helen a look.“A shawl, definitely. It’ll highlight your

Emily took out her phone and sent Justin a message. “Stop by Villa One when you have a moment. Let’s settle things between us so you can go back to your precious first love.”After hitting send, she prepared to leave the hospital.“Miss Yates, may I speak with you for a moment?” Suddenly, Emma was beside her, having wheeled herself over without Justin in sight.“We don’t really know each other,” Emily replied, feeling awkward.“Miss Yates, I’ve just been away from Justin for three years. I wanted to ask you how he’s been and if he’s been eating and sleeping well. He couldn’t find me, so I’m sure he must’ve been terribly sad,” Emma said, her frail voice laced with a hint of smugness, as if she was savoring her importance to him.“If you want to know, ask Justin directly.”“He won’t tell me. He’s worried it would make me anxious.”Emily saw no point in continuing the conversation and turned to leave. Suddenly, behind her, Emma’s voice rose in a frantic shout, her tears streaming

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,
