Currie was already settled when Avery walked into the little café.It was an old café where Avery and Currie used to rest after shopping together. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled Avery’s nostrils as she scanned the room for Currie.She spotted her at their usual seat in the back, beside a large glass window that offered a beautiful view of the city.Smiling as she approached, Avery felt a warmth spread through her. Before she could take her favorite seat, Currie pulled her into her arms.“Sister Nuu, is this really you? I can't believe I get to see you again after such a long time. You look gorgeous—it's a shame my brother didn’t notice!”“I missed you, Sister Nuu,” Currie said, her voice filled with affection.“I missed you too, Currie, and I’m so glad to see you,” Avery replied, beaming with joy.“Look at you, all grown up and beautiful! You’re truly stunning,” Avery said, pulling Currie into a tight hug. Back at Skylar Villa, Avery had treasured Currie, who had taken on t

Avery was speechless. How could this be possible? Despite spending more than eleven months with Abel, he had never stepped foot in her room. Even on the days when she was sick and needed his attention, it was Elijah who Abel instructed to take her to the hospital. Why does he change suddenly and focus on her memory?“Currie, you’re overthinking this. Abel is probably just reflecting on how Riana betrayed him and not about me,” she said.Currie shook her head in disapproval. “Elijah once caught him weeping, his face buried in your clothes, mumbling your name and asking for your forgiveness. It’s a shame he realized how beautiful and dedicated wife you are when it was too late. Please, sister Nuu, I’m not asking you to return to him, but if you forgive him, you’ll give him a reason to live again. He misses you so much and genuinely wishes to earn your forgiveness. He built a free hospital in the village where you and Mary lived, and he named it after you. He even put your portrait in

“I want to look like this man in my birthday pictures,” Aaron declared, shoving the magazine onto Lucy's lap.For the past week, Lucy and Avery had been planning the kids' birthday party. Avery preferred a low-key celebration for the kids' safety; she didn’t want too many people to know about them and ask questions.However, Aaron and Aerial had other ideas. They wanted television and radio stations to cover the event so their friends in New York would hear about it and know they had a large family.Lucy glanced at the magazine and saw the handsome face of the man she secretly admired. He was the only man she believed deserved her sweet friend Avery, despite the other options available.After witnessing how he selflessly saved Avery on her birthday night, Lucy was convinced that Abel genuinely loved her.Abel was dressed in a royal blue suit with a white shirt. His suit was unbuttoned, hands in his pockets, with one leg propped against the wall. His deep brown eyes stared intently at

At the tall building of Copper’s Tech, Aaron craned his tiny neck and stared at the bold billboard bearing the company’s name: “Copper’s Tech and Digital World.” A smile plastered on his handsome face as he walked into the building.Stopping at the front desk, he saw a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties.“Hello, little one. Are you looking for someone?” the woman asked.Aaron nodded.“I want to see my daddy.”“Your Daddy? What’s his name?”“Abel Copper.”The woman furrowed her brow, and her expression turned serious.“Little one, this isn’t a place for games. Now, go back to your mama.”With a determined posture, Aaron shoved his tiny hands deep into his pockets and leaned over the desk.“If you want to keep your job, take me to my father right away.”The young woman was hesitant, confusion washing over her.Abel had no child, but this little boy was insisting he was his son. Could it be that he had a secret child? Most successful men kept their relationship private, and she didn’t w

Aaron spotted Abel's cold eyes and quickly ducked behind the door.Abel stood up and moved toward that direction, startling Jason with his sudden action.When Abel swung the door wide open, the boy had vanished."What’s going on?" Jason asked."I thought I saw some movement.""It was the boy. I’ll get him."Jason entered his office, but Aaron was nowhere to be found. After searching the entire room, he returned, confused and disappointed."You scared him off. Now you've missed the chance to meet your son.""I don’t have a son!" Abel snapped, his voice icy.Suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind, making him halt."Get the boy now!" Abel shouted, startling Jason."What’s with the urgency to see him?""If you don’t find that boy in 24 hours, consider yourself fired!"Cold sweat trickled down Jason's forehead as he glared at his boss. Though Abel was a friend, he knew to take that tone seriously."I'll go find him right away," Jason replied, rushing out.Why did Abel sound so desperate?

“Where is the boy?” Abel asked Jason as he entered his office.“I’m sorry; he disappeared before I could come out.”“Then pack up and leave my company because you’re fired.”Jason was taken aback. Did Abel mean that?“But I…”“I don’t want to hear any excuses; you’re fired.”“No, I’m not. You said I had 24 hours; it’s only been a few minutes. I’ll find the boy. I will.”“Then get going.”As Jason left Abel’s office, he remembered something. The boy had introduced himself as Aaron Clinton. That might be a good place to start.He quickly searched his phone, and the boy’s information popped up.Aaron Clinton, 4 years old. A student at Lillie Light Academy, New York City.Jason was puzzled. If the boy was from New York City, what was he doing on Mallory Avenue? And hadn’t he claimed to be Abel’s son? Did Abel have an affair during one of his trips to New York?Jason dialed a number, and within a minute, someone answered.“Please, I need you to look up someone for me. I’ll send you the det

Fortunately, she hadn’t lost everything; her wonderful children were a blessing that made up for her unfulfilled dreams.Suddenly, Avery heard footsteps and looked up to see Currie standing in her stunning wedding gown.“Wow, you look amazing,” Avery exclaimed as she stood up from the couch and held Currie’s hands, spreading them wide to take in the beauty of the dress.“This is breathtaking!”Avery’s spirits lifted at the sight of the beautiful dress and the radiant woman wearing it.“Thank you, Sister Nuu. It would be heartbreaking if I didn’t have anyone here to admire the dress with me. You’ve made my day, and I love you so much,” Currie said, embracing Avery.Avery felt guilty for initially refusing to join Currie. How could she have hesitated to support such a sweet person?“Now that you’ve seen this, let’s look at the bridesmaids’ dresses. I thought they would be here with you,” Rachel, the attendant, said.“Don’t worry, Rachel. I’m sure the dresses will fit them perfectly, just

The surgery, which began at 3:00 p.m., continued until 10:00 p.m. Henry held his wife, Julie, tightly as they waited for news from the doctors. Now it was 1:00 a.m., and no doctors had emerged.For ten straight hours, Hector fought for his life on the operating table, while Avery and her team worked tirelessly to save him. After 12 grueling hours, Avery finally emerged, visibly exhausted.She had replaced valves before, but this was the first time she had done four at once.Julie leaped up as soon as she saw Avery, her voice hoarse. “How is my son?”Avery managed a reassuring smile. “He’s a strong guy. You’ll see him in the morning.”Henry embraced Julie as tears streamed down their faces. “Thank you so much, Doctor. I knew you would save my boy,” Julie said, hugging Avery tightly.“Dr. Pepper, my wife and I are incredibly grateful. Thank you for saving our son,” Henry added, also embracing Avery.Avery wiped away her tears, moved by the gratitude of Hector's parents. For more than

"Please don't be irrational, Axel. Please sit down. Let's talk about this,” Abel pleaded.“Sign the document first,” Axel said, pointing to the table where a copy of the document lay.“Sign it, or I will blow her off.”Abel hesitated but finally took the pen on the table and signed his name on the document.“The document is signed. Hand my girl over,” Abel demanded.Axel shoved Aerial toward her parents and grabbed the document. His gun still pointed at them, he quickly scanned the paper, confirming Abel’s signature. A sinister smile spread across his face. He could hardly believe it—he finally owned the Coppers Group.Facing them again, Axel picked up a small canister from his side and began pouring out its contents. Then, he pulled a lighter from his pocket.“What do you plan to do?” Avery asked, her voice trembling.“Isn't it obvious?” Axel smirked. “I'm going to burn this place down. No one will ever find out what happened.”“Why would you do that? I’ve signed the document!” Abel

Avery went into her room and brought back the laptop.After Abel logged in, he noticed an email among a pool of other messages. It was a contract agreement concerning the shares of his company.“Sign the contract, and you will see your daughter,” the message read.“What’s in the document? Open it, let’s see,” Currie said, noticing her brother’s troubled expression. Abel opened the document and stared at the contents in shock.Avery pulled the laptop toward herself and read the agreement on the screen.“He wants seventy-five percent of your company’s shares?” she exclaimed.“I will do anything to bring Aerial back. That’s my promise,” Abel said firmly. Only Douglas could stoop to such devious means. He was the only one who knew Abel had children with Avery. Was this his revenge for destroying his incriminating videos and letting Jason deal with him?“You can’t do that!” Currie protested. “Let’s involve the police. There’s no way you should give up your company. You worked too hard to g

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that he was your son at the time. After he came to my office a few days ago demanding to see me and calling me his Daddy, I had no choice but to investigate the truth," Abel explained."You went to his office? When was that? How did you even know about him?" Avery asked, her face filled with shock. Turning to Abel, she added, "Were you influencing my kids and turning them against me?""You’ve misunderstood," Abel replied calmly. "I didn’t get to see him that day. He was gone before I could come out of my office. A few days later, I ran into him at his school and tried to learn more about his family, but the boy was so smart—he refused to give me any information. That made me think of the strange woman I had been with at the business meeting years ago. Determined to uncover the truth, I discreetly took a sample of his hair for a DNA test."It was only later, when I saw you pick him up, that I realized you are his mother," he continued, stepping closer to Aver

“I can't leave, I need to look around. She might be somewhere nearby, afraid and waiting for me to come,” Avery said, her voice trembling with tears.“It’s already night, and there’s nothing more we can do right now. Let’s trust the authorities to handle this. Come on, let’s get out of here,” Abel said gently.Just then, Abel’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it, returning moments later with a small smile. Without a word, he led Avery back home.---At home, Avery’s son, Aaron, approached hesitantly.“Daddy, will you find Aerial?” Aaron asked softly.“Stop calling him that! He’s not your daddy!” Avery snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.Abel’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m sorry, Avery, but don’t you think you’re being too harsh on the boy?” He pulled Aaron into his arms and said, “I promise you with my life, I’ll find Aerial.”“Will you stay with us tonight?” Aaron asked, his small voice filled with hope.“Of course, yes,” Abel replied.“No, you won’t!” Avery

Meanwhile, Currie knelt before Avery, her body shaking as she wept bitterly. The shock of the events had hollowed her out, leaving her an empty shell.“Forgive me, sister Nuu,” Currie sobbed. “I never meant for this to happen. It’s my fault. I should never have brought them here.”“What happened to my daughter, Currie? You’re scaring me!” Avery cried, her voice rising in desperation.Through her tears, Currie tried to explain. “She was playing with the other kids a few feet away while Aaron and I were working on a puzzle. Then suddenly, smoke filled the air. Everything turned chaotic."I grabbed Aaron and ran to look for Aerial, but I couldn’t see anything. The smoke was so thick and black. I pushed forward, calling her name, but the fire broke out before I could reach her."I held onto Aaron tightly, afraid he’d get hurt if I let go. But I was determined to get to Aerial. The crowd shoved me back, everyone panicking and running in different directions."When the fire intensified, I t

Chapter 158“I hope they are mine,” Abel thought to himself. The possibility lifted his mood. For so many years, he had wished to have children of his own, and after what happened between him and Riana, Abel vowed never to marry anyone except Avery—the woman who loved him unconditionally.His mind drifted back to the children. Having a son like Aaron would mean so much to him. And the girl? He smiled.He hadn’t spent much time with the little girl, but her cheerful allure drew him in. She looked so beautiful and adorable, so much like Avery, with leaf-brown hair that resembled his own.Thinking of this, Abel felt a little bubble of hope swelling within him. He prayed earnestly that they would be his.“Are they mine, Avery? Please tell me. I really want to know,” he asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer. Before Avery could utter a word, his phone rang.Abel ignored it, but when the ringing persisted, he quickly switched it off and turned his attention back to Avery. At that same

Chapter 157“Who is the boy’s father, and how did you know the little boy?” Abel asked.“Take a look at this,” Douglas said, shoving his phone into Abel’s hands.Abel stared at the video playing before his eyes, his heart pounding. His legs wobbled, and his hands became clammy.Before the video could end, Abel clenched the phone tightly and strode toward the exit.“Wait! What about the collaboration? And where are you going with my phone?” Douglas shouted, but Abel was already gone.Outside the VIP room, Abel turned to Jason, who was waiting in the corridor.“Keep that old fool in check and make sure he deletes all the videos,” Abel ordered.“Which video?” Jason asked in confusion.“The old fool has a video of Avery and me... making out.”Jason knitted his brows together, his expression shocked.“Don’t spare him. Crush him into pieces and ensure every copy of the video is erased.”“You can count on me,”---At the hospital, Avery had just stepped out of the operating theater and was h

Twenty minutes later, Abel arrived at the Greenville Hotel. As he walked into the restaurant, he spotted Mr. Douglas seated at the far end of the room, near the window. Without hesitation, Abel strode toward the older man and grabbed him by the neck."Mr. Copper, what are you doing?" Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs. As soon as they entered, Abel shoved Douglas onto the couch."What was that nonsense you sent me earlier?" Abel demanded.Douglas was speechless. The last time he had tried his luck with Abel, things hadn't ended well. Now, he had another opportunity to make a deal, but he knew he had to resort to devious means to achieve his goal.After Abel caught him with Riana, Douglas had been certain approaching Abel again would be a death sentence. However, when his contact called a few months ago and informed him about Avery's return to Mallory Avenue, Douglas began plotting how to use her to get close to Abel. Then

Currie's heart skipped a beat. How could these children think she was hiding something from them? Last night, when she had asked Avery about the kids’ father, Avery had been hesitant to answer.And now, Aaron and Aerial thought she knew who their father was. Currie thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said softly,"Do you want my brother to be your daddy?"Her eyes stayed fixed on the kids, searching their expressions.Aerial's eyes lit up, excitement shining in her face."Of course, I want him to be our daddy!" Aerial exclaimed. "He would protect us, right?"Aaron, calmer than his sister, nodded and asked, "Will you help us?"Sometimes, Aerial wondered how her brother managed to stay so composed no matter what.Currie hesitated briefly before offering a compromise."Why don't we go to the park first? We'll talk about this later.""Are you going to buy us ice cream?" Aerial asked eagerly."Of course, I will.""But Mom says it's not good to eat too much sugar.""I haven’t had an
