As the evening came to an end, Nathan carried Luna up to the attic, where they could see the night sky through the sky window. Luna leaned beside Nathan and gazed upon the stars above. "Daddy, I wonder which star is mommy today." Nathan raised his hand and pointed at the brightest one among them and said, "That one. Look, she's winking back at you!" Luna fixed her eyes on that star and chuckled before a tinge of sadness took over. She asked, "Daddy, why did mommy turn into a star?" Nathan looked at the star and answered with a smile, "That's because mommy's an angel! She'll have to become an angel and travel to the skies soon. At night, she transforms into a star to watch over us to see if you misbehave. She will be back in a few years' time." He gently curled Luna's hair with his fingers and spoke apprehensively in a low voice. "Is there anything you want to tell mommy today? She's listening right now. She's an angel, and she'll fulfill your wishes." Luna made her wish carefull
Hilda hastily grabbed a stack of red packets as she saw the little girl approaching her doorstep to knock on the door. She opened the door and found the little girl standing right in front of her. She was immaculately dressed, and the purse hanging in front of her belly was bursting with red packets. "Happy New Year! May you be blessed with prosperity!" Greeted the little girl in her sweetest voice as she shamelessly reached out to Hilda with open palms. Hilda placed a red packet into her hands and replied, "Happy New Year to you too." The little girl got what she was after and was about to leave. Hilda subconsciously wanted to stall her but struggled to conjure any excuse at such short notice. She was also aware of the man whose cold, wary gaze had never left her since they arrived. Linux suddenly appeared at the door and offered a friendly welcome. "Aren't you Gasper? My, my, it's been a minute!" At the sight of Linux, the man's solemn façade melted into a genuine smile. "Mr. J
As they reached its home, Hilda left the husky there and headed back to her own. Kater had every intention of luring her into its house to babysit for him. Alas, Hilda saw through its ruse and turned back immediately. It loitered at the doorstep, uncertain whether to go in or to go to work. If it went to work at the pet shop, its rump would be sore from being caressed and pinched by guests there. If it went to the company to stand guard, it knew it was no match against the two fierce German Shepherds that just arrived. Every time it tried to put up a fight, it would end up getting beaten badly, so it figured it might as well skip work. If Kater returned to Rex's place, it would be all alone as Rex was always at work, and no one would play with it. It did not even think about going back to the Cannon Residence, for there would be an entire pack of military dogs, both still in service and retired, waiting for it at the lawn. Once again, winning a fight with them would be out of the qu
Luna spent the evening having dinner at Hilda's place. When she was done, she took Kater, which was wearing its skirt, by the harness and headed home. Kater was beyond recognition, for it was covered in tattoos, and its claws were painted bright red. It could no longer tell if it was a dog or a doll. "Miss, my daddy is coming home soon. So I need to go back now. I'll come play with you again tomorrow. You'll need a full course of bear dance to recover, okay?" Hilda packed the desserts she just learned to make, including the jelly and pudding, for Luna to be brought home. She even packed extra for her two 'daddies'. She gave the packed desserts to the nannies. Apparently, Luna had five to six nannies, and all of them were highly educated! Hilda stood at the entrance as she gazed at Luna, who was heading home. She also noticed a car parked in front of their Villa. Both her 'daddies' were back. One of them carried her lovingly and lifted her high up in the air. Such a wonderful, ha
The next day, Sonnia went to Linux' Villa again and brought a tablet to show the dogs and cats at the pet store to Hilda. "Look, look, these puppies are like Kater, who is a purebred Husky. They are very clever, but also expensive. I keep them in my store so that someone would adopt them. I'm sure Kater's father would want someone suitable to adopt these dogs. If you like them, we can head over to my store later and I'll give them to you. Rex said that you don't have to pay for it." Hilda glimpsed at the photos and videos on the tablet, the dogs looked like they were full of life as they ran around. In actual fact, they are Kater's puppies. Connie had finished dressing up and arranged her work schedule beforehand since she promised that she would bring her daughter to have fun today. She brought the tablet to her and gestured excitedly at the puppies on the screen while waiting in anticipation for her response. Although she was not a fan of noisy dogs, she knew that it only matte
"Nobel House is an internationally popular restaurant chain. I know the boss well and he has arranged a seat for us."Upon hearing that there was delicious food to eat, Hilda was excited. She left the dogs at the pet shop before making her way to Nobel House.Nobel House came with high ceilings that made the restaurant appear vast and grandiose, even the dishes looked extremely expensive to be eaten. Sonnia seemed unfazed by it and generously ordered more than ten dishes to be shared by the three of them.As soon as the menu was handed out to them, she excitedly announced before leaving, "Hang on for a minute. Let me bring a friend over."She returned a while later, this time with a black Labrador in tow. "This dog belongs to the boss, Alban Jones."Hilda stared at the big, black dog, wondering whether its name was Corrado.True enough, its collar revealed the truth, it really was Corrado.Corrado immediately took a liking to Hilda, as if she was an old friend whom he had not seen in
She never intended to speak a single word to Victoria and was now cold hearted. My last name is now Michel, so anything to do with the Akuffo Family does not bother me whatsoever! "Sorry, you're not welcome here. Why don't you return to wherever you came from?" Sonnia did not allow Victoria the privilege for a face to face conversation. She merely waved her hand and gave permission to her subordinate to chase her stepmother away. If it had not been for her longing to the Akuffo Family, she would have left the family a long time, she was now Mr. Michel's wife! However, it was not as easy as Sonnia thought to chase Victoria away. Now that she came, there would be something for her to gain. Although she knew that Sonnia would not be easily defeated, she decided to think of other methods to provoke her. Victoria leaned forward and intentionally mouthed the words at Sonnia's ears. "Where is your husband now? I'm sure he must be missing me..." There was a condescending tone in her voi
Mr. Akuffo screamed the moment he entered, "You are such a scumbag! You had the nerve to whack your mother into such a state! Get down on your knees now! I won't let this matter slide easily today!" Sonnia had actually beaten Victoria into a pulp that time, causing her to be in such a state, and it was something that could be resolved with a property! An infuriated Sonnia rushed up like a gust of wind and lectured her biological father. "To hell if I will kneel down! Isaac, you are here in the nick of time. I'm telling you this here and now, I'm cutting ties with you! We will go our separate ways after this!" There were a bunch of relatives from the Akuffo Family behind Isaac. After learning that he appeared at Sonnia's door to find fault with her after she whacked her stepmother, everyone quickly came to watch and look at the house as well, the same one that would soon belong to the Akuffo Family. The father and daughter crossed swords with each other the moment they met, she da
