Elijah stopped two steps away from Marcia, spreading his arms wide, waiting for her to embrace him.

"This...What is this?" Marcia's voice tightened, and she pinched her leg in disbelief. The sharp pain assured her she wasn't dreaming. Hesitating, she asked, "Aren't you in America?"

Elijah frowned slightly. "My arms are getting sore. Any questions can wait until we're home."

Marcia shook her head stubbornly. "Why are you here?" Yet her heart was brimming with joy. Did he come all this way because he was worried about her? Even if she tried to act calm and strong, she couldn't deny the fear in her heart.

Did Elijah sense this and come specifically to pick her up? To take her home?

Marcia's body trembled uncontrollably. How could she not love a man like this?

Elijah sighed softly, taking a big step forward to stand directly in front of her. "Can you stop being so unlikable?"

Though his tone carried a hint of exasperation and disdain, his actions were full of affection. He pulled Marcia i

    Hand in hand, the two walked slowly toward the inner residence. Marcia glanced at the warm orange light ahead and held her breath, gripping Elijah's hand tightly."There aren't any monsters inside. Relax, it's fine," Elijah said softly, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.Marcia nodded slightly, murmuring a quiet "mm-hmm."As Elijah pushed open the door to the inner residence, someone immediately approached them and greeted him respectfully, "Sir, you're finally back. The Master and Madam have been waiting for quite some time."Elijah gave a curt nod, his smile fading as his tone turned indifferent. "Where's my aunt?""Eli! I'm right here! Did Patricia come with you? Let me have a look at her!"A charming voice came from the living room, drawing Marcia's attention. She turned to see the beautiful woman she had once seen in a photo, now smiling warmly as she approached. The woman wrapped an arm around Elijah's shoulders and pouted, "Eli, you insisted I come back with you from the U.S

    "Come in. Quickly, try on the wedding dress so I can see how it looks on you. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I can adjust it right away. The wedding is tomorrow, and Eli is still being so careless. Honestly, I don't know where his priorities lie!" Shirley pushed open the door and gestured for Marcia to enter.Marcia stepped in cautiously as Shirley closed the door, cutting off the lively noise from downstairs."I designed this dress myself. Originally, I had planned it for Judith, but...well, let's not talk about that. Cia, open it up and take a look. Eli knows your figure very well, you know. He gave me all the measurements himself," Shirley said with a small, wistful smile, a flicker of nostalgia passing through her eyes.Judith? Marcia's thoughts stirred. Biting her lip hesitantly, she asked, "Shirley, I've heard people mention Judith before. Who is she?"Shirley waved the question away, her tone firm. "What's important right now is trying on the wedding dress. Everything el

    Downstairs, Louis was growing impatient as he spoke with Helen, while Elijah sat quietly on the couch, his expression dark and brooding.Marcia, feeling a little shy, slowly made her way down the stairs. Yet with each step, her resolve seemed to strengthen.The moment her gaze met Elijah's, Marcia couldn't explain why, but even though she was smiling, tears welled up and fell.Could she truly ask for this kind of happiness?Could she really deserve it?But Elijah didn't give her the chance to overthink. He stepped forward and pulled her into a tight embrace."You're beautiful."Elijah's ears turned a faint red. Seeing her tears, he reached up and gently wiped them away, his soft laughter warming her heart. "Why are you crying?"Marcia sniffled, her voice barely above a whisper. "Do I...do I really look good like this?""Of course you do." Elijah nodded firmly, his eyes shining with admiration. He reached out, wanting to ruffle her hair, but seeing her delicate veil, he chuckled to him

    The biggest news today wasn't about a celebrity getting divorced or the latest scandal in the entertainment industry. No, the headline of the day was: Elijah Sinclair is getting married.When the news first broke, most people didn't believe it. After all, who holds a wedding without sending invitations ahead of time, giving friends and family a chance to celebrate properly? But that's exactly what happened. The announcement came on the day of the wedding itself. And the bride? Patricia? Who's that? Nobody had even heard of her!However, when word spread that Elijah's parents and Shirley—the one who'd settled in the US long ago—had all shown up at the church, everyone realized it wasn't just a rumor. Suddenly, there was a flurry of messages and phone calls as people scrambled to find out if anyone had been lucky enough to receive an invitation.Inside the church, Kevin, Myron, and Hayden were staring at one another in complete confusion, still processing the shock of the situation.For

    Kevin and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw Shirley rushing over. Their faces lit up with joy."Shirley...! You really came back?"Shirley let out a cheerful squeal and pulled the three of them into a smiling group hug."It's been so long! You all just keep getting more handsome!""..."Kevin's expression remained the calmest of the group. Myron, however, cautiously said, "Shirley, don't be like this."Shirley ignored him entirely, grinning as she teased, "You three used to love hanging out with me the most. What now? Are you pushing me away because I've gotten old?"She sniffed dramatically, her face full of mock grievance.Myron and Hayden exchanged glances, letting out a silent sigh. "Haha, we were just joking. You can call us whatever makes you happy. We're fine with it!""Exactly!"Shirley's expression immediately brightened, and she beamed. "See? I knew you two were the sweetest!"Myron and Hayden nodded frantically in agreement.Shirley hooked her arm around Ke

    Marcia glanced at Nicole's reflection in the mirror and said softly, "Thank you for taking the time to be my bridesmaid today.""Please. If Elijah hadn't personally called me, I wouldn't have bothered to come! He's my big benefactor, after all. I have to stay on his good side." Nicole scoffed, her tone full of disdain.Marcia lowered her gaze and asked gently, "Did Hayden come too?"A faint, unreadable smile played on Nicole's lips. "How would I know? I have nothing to do with him. But, Patricia, I'm curious—does Calvin know you're getting married today?""Do you want him to know?""What does that have to do with me?" Nicole retorted coldly, though a flicker of expectation betrayed her eyes. If he knew, would he finally give up?Nicole hated herself for still holding onto such expectations. Yet if emotions and thoughts could be controlled at will, what meaning would love even have?"Nicole," Marcia said with a light chuckle, "I'll let Calvin know. He's important to me. Believe it or n

    Marcia took a deep breath and slowly stepped out of the dressing room.Even from a distance, she could hear the sacred and solemn strains of the wedding march echoing through the grand hall.Claire and Shirley had already gone ahead into the hall. Nicole followed her at a respectful distance, diligently fulfilling her role as a bridesmaid.The closer Marcia got to the hall, the more her nerves overtook her initial joy. Her palms were damp with sweat, and her mind raced with countless chaotic thoughts.The moment she stepped onto the red carpet, a realization struck her—one she should have thought of earlier. She had no family members present at this wedding, no one to take her hand and entrust her as a cherished treasure to Elijah.She knew she was being overly sentimental again. Marcia hated herself for her inexplicable sensitivity. Yet, the more nervous she became, the more these trivial details seemed to matter.After taking only a few steps, she suddenly froze.

    Marcia held onto Elijah's arm, watching the guests move about. Elijah hadn't invited many people, and Marcia's side had even fewer attendees. However, the smaller group, familiar with one another, made the atmosphere livelier.Myron and his friends joked deliberately, winking at Marcia. "Patricia, is that really you? We thought Eli found himself another wife!"Hayden chuckled and added, "I was about to ask if you got plastic surgery."Marcia was in a good mood today and didn't want to argue with Hayden. She rolled her eyes at him. "If I did get plastic surgery, I'd look even better!""Would you now?" Hayden exchanged a glance with Myron before bursting into laughter. "Your face doesn't need surgery, but..." He trailed off, laughing again."Men! They always prefer curvier women!"On her wedding day, in a sacred church, these two men dared to crack such vulgar jokes! It was outrageous!Marcia forced a smile, but her gaze was sharp as a blade. "Shut up!""How can the bride lose her tempe

    Elijah frowned. "Impossible?" He couldn't understand. "But then... how could you? No, we're going to the hospital right now! The doctors I know are far more reliable than him. I've always found him suspicious. Let's get you checked first, then we can talk about this.""Are you not happy that I can conceive?"Elijah shook his head. "How could I not be happy? But I don't trust him. Let's go to the hospital, okay?"He was overwhelmed with joy, but beneath that joy lay deep concern. If Jeff was lying, how would Marcia handle it? He could live without a child, but he couldn't bear to see Marcia fall into despair again.He never wanted to see her cry. That pain would be far worse than not having a child."Eli, sit down first." Marcia dared not let him take her to the hospital—if they found out she had recently lost a pregnancy, things would be disastrous."The surgery two years ago... Jeff was actually the lead surgeon." Marcia watched Elijah's expression darken as her voice unconsciously d

    Marcia leaned against Elijah's chest, yet a slight unease crept into her heart.She still remembered Jeff's instructions—no intimacy for a month. But when she stole a glance at Elijah, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression serious. For some reason, her heart softened again and again."Eli, what are you thinking about?"Hearing the slight anxiety in Marcia's voice, Elijah held her tightly, resting his head against her neck. His voice was low and gentle. "Nothing. I just think... it's really good that you're here.""Myron is really getting engaged? To... that Nancy?" Marcia traced her fingers over his firm arm, feeling a growing sense of security.She wished she could rely on him like this forever."Mm." Elijah's response was muffled, carrying a hint of an unspoken heaviness.Marcia thought for a moment. "His family has a rule that a man can only marry one woman in his lifetime, right? Does your family have a rule like that?"Elijah chuckled lightly and ran his fingers through

    Elijah let out a soft sigh and gently pulled Marcia behind him. "What are you doing?"Marcia bit her lip, feeling a bit foolish for her reaction. Why did she assume Hayden would actually come to blows with Elijah?Elijah, standing tall and unwavering, met Hayden's gaze head-on, his expression calm. "To bring Myron back to Liverpool.""Back to Liverpool? If he's taking that woman with him, then what's the point? He might as well not come back at all! Damn it!" Hayden raised his fist but ultimately slammed it against the table instead."Hayden, sit down." Myron's voice was deep and hoarse. He seemed exhausted, yet his expression remained resolute. "I chose to marry Nancy on my own. It has nothing to do with my mother or Eli. I appreciate your concern, but enough with the arguments."He glanced at Kevin and chuckled. "What are you scheming now? Think I'm lying?"Kevin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Not at all. If you say so, then it must be true." He had initially suspected this was just

    "Patricia, I thought you two would head straight to the second floor!" Hayden teased with a mischievous grin, taking a sip of his orange juice.Marcia ignored him, her eyes immediately landing on Myron, who sat beside Kevin with a face as dark as ink. At the head of the dining table sat a frail, pale-skinned elderly woman who was scrutinizing her with an assessing gaze.Marcia couldn't help but feel nervous."Auntie, this is Patricia. What do you think? Beautiful, right?" Elijah draped an arm over Marcia's shoulder, grinning proudly.Gloria took a sip of water before smiling lightly. "Hmm, she is beautiful. No wonder you've been so restless, eager to come home!""That's not true! I'm also happy to spend more time with you!" Elijah chuckled, then gently nudged Marcia forward. "Cia, come say hello to Auntie."His eyes were filled with warmth, a look that was second nature to him in front of Myron and the others. But for Gloria, it was the first time witnessing this side of him, and she

    Marcia and Elijah walked hand in hand toward the villa. Since it was located in the suburbs, the fresh air was a rare luxury.A cool breeze brushed against Marcia's face, making her instinctively shrink her neck."Are you cold?" Elijah asked, his voice tinged with concern as he pulled her into his embrace. "I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable if we stayed in the car for too long. Looks like I miscalculated again!"Marcia shook her head and snuggled against his chest with a soft laugh. "Not at all. The air is refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful. But how did you know I was feeling restless in the car? Do you have some kind of mind-reading power? That would be incredible!"Elijah chuckled, gently ruffling her hair. "Your nose is all red. You look just like a little bunny. Makes me want to eat you up!"As he spoke, he playfully rubbed her cheeks. When Marcia looked up at him with a smile, he couldn't resist leaning down to kiss her cool lips."Aren't they waiting for us inside? Le

    Seeing the two of them like this, Marcia couldn't shake the strange feeling growing inside her. She pulled out her phone to check for any messages from Elijah. The last thing on their chat was a simple "Good night" from both of them. A faint smile curved her lips.She casually snapped a photo of the highway scenery outside the car window and sent it to Elijah.Since it was still early, she hadn't expected an immediate response. But to her surprise, he seemed to have been awake all night—his reply came almost instantly."Already on the road? Are you tired? You should get some rest in the car!"Marcia bit her lip lightly and typed back curiously, "Did you not sleep? I'm not tired. I've been resting at home these past few days.""Hmm, I heard about that. Why are you so lazy and always sleeping?" Elijah chuckled, then added, "Even though I feel bad for you, my love, I'm so happy that I'll see you soon."Seeing him call her lazy, Marcia instinctively glanced at Kevin, who was driving. It h

    Ever since that terrible experience, Marcia had developed a subtle aversion to "Calderstones."Elijah had been away for five days now. They spoke on the phone daily—sometimes just exchanging a few words, other times lingering as if they couldn't bear to hang up.The distance seemed to intensify their feelings, making them feel like a couple deeply in love.A call in the early morning. The phone was warm in her hand. Though sadness still lingered in her heart, Marcia felt as if Elijah was slowly healing her, piece by piece.Since her surgery, she had become more sensitive—more reliant on Elijah. She wanted him to return, yet at the same time, she hoped he wouldn't come back too soon. She longed for his embrace but also feared the warmth he brought.Torn between these emotions, her longing for him only grew stronger.Sometimes, as she lay in her empty bed, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he were beside her&md

    "He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing," Hayden remarked leisurely, pouring himself a cup of hot water. Watching the steam rise, he smiled faintly and casually asked, "Patricia, did you already know Myron was fine? Otherwise, how could you be in the mood to come out for a meal?"Marcia was momentarily stunned. After a brief silence, she chuckled. "I contacted Eli. Besides, there wasn't much to eat at home. Everyone's had a tough day—it's only right that we treat ourselves to a meal. Why? Do you think there's something wrong with that?"Hayden smirked. "Not at all. Just a funny coincidence." He blew on his cup, took a small sip, and added, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you hadn't been home at all."Shirley shot him a glare. "Hayden, your mindset is all wrong!""Oh?" Hayden raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.Shirley shook her head dramatically and said with an air of seriousness, "Have you been spending too much time with Demon? You've picked up the nasty habit of

    "Did she ask you anything? Or did she want you to do something?" Marcia sat up straight, her tone cold and sharp.Jeff snapped out of his thoughts and replied calmly, "She was curious if you were pregnant. Oh, that reminds me, was she the one at Calderstones that time...?"Before he could finish, he paused, realization dawning on his face. "No wonder!"Marcia stared at him intently. "What did you tell her? Did you take her money? What about Alan? Was he there too?"Jeff shot her a glare. "I'm a doctor. What do you take me for? She's pregnant, and Alan? Oh, you mean that man? No, I didn't see him."Pregnant? A sharp pain struck Marcia's heart. Kate was pregnant again, while she… she had lost her child.Fate was truly laughable. The heavens remained as unfair as ever.Perhaps sensing her hatred too clearly, Jeff coughed lightly and continued, "Alright, stop glaring at me. I'm on your side."Marcia eyed him suspiciously but said nothing.Jeff sighed. "I refused to be her private doctor,
