2021-12-28 14:03:42Arriving at Herbert's house, a baby in a black coat rushed in. Once he passed the door, he raised both hands and shouted, “Boo!”
A second later, Cayden found only empty space. However, instead of showing sadness, he chuckled and quickened his pace.
Little Prince thought that his grandfather was waiting in the living room, as usual. The innocent baby did not understand that Herbert would not be able to welcome him again. Excitedly, he sped up and repeated the surprise.
"Boo!"
Realizing that his grandfather wasn't there either, Little Prince's eyebrows shot up. Confusion began to shift his spirit. Blinking slowly, Cayden turned to face his parents.
"Um ... Empa?"
Hearing the longing question, Max and Gabriella looked at each other. After reading the same feeling, the woman sighed faintly. Holding the sorrow behind her furrowed brows, she knelt down to face her son.
“Grandpa is no longer here, Little Prince,” Gabr

While trying to conquer the rumbling in his chest, Julian reached for the box with his name on it. A greeting card was hanging on the red ribbon. After wiping away the tears so as not to block his eyes, he unfolded the paper and looked at the ink strokes that deepened the longing.“Winter is coming soon. Keep yourself warm! Every time you wear this, imagine that I'm hugging you with love."After reading the short message, sadness flooded Julian's face. Sobbing and closing his eyes, the man embraced the box as tightly as he wanted to be with his father. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he called, Herbert would never answer.“Julian, stop …. You can make Cayden cry too,” Mia whispered while rubbing the face of the man who had lost his mind.Instead of subsiding, Julian's cries grew louder. The man still couldn't believe that his father had gone. He thought they still had plenty of time.“Why did Dad leave a gift as swe

"Will and testament?" Julian sighed with one questioning raised eyebrow."Isn't it too soon? Our father just passed away,” Max said, explaining his brother's shock.Smiling wisely, the notary shook his head. "Instead of mourning his passing, you better be happy thinking of his wealth that fell into your hands.""But we're not like that," Gabriella sighed with displeased brows. Her father-in-law's life was certainly much more valuable than inheritance.Without feeling guilty, the man in the blue tie raised the corners of his lips. "Sorry, Madam. It's the first line in Herbert Evans' testament.”In an instant, the woman's eyes and mouth rounded. "Oh, sorry," she mumbled with a groan."No problem," the stocky man replied before turning to face the servants. A second later, he took out a CD from under his coat and handed it over. “Would you like to help me play this video?”In an instant, Julian's back turned strai

After seeing her husband's innocent nod, Mia swallowed hard. “What am I supposed to do with that much gold? Should I donate some?” Unknowingly, Julian smiled at his wife's muttering. “You can do whatever you want, Mia. The gold is already yours." With a slight grimace, the woman hid her discomfort. She felt that she did not deserve that much inheritance. "To Max who always refuses anything I give him ..." Herbert said in a sudden excited tone. His words successfully captured the attention of those who watched the video. “You know that Quebracha isn't the only company I've invested in, right? Therefore, take care of my other stocks.” A sigh of disbelief suddenly escaped Max's mouth. “I actually rejected Quebracha because I wanted to focus on my own business. Now, how do I focus if I become the shareholder in 19 companies?” "That many?" Gabriella sighed with raised eyebrows in surprise. While constricting the forehead, Max nodded lazily.

"You're wrong, Julian. I am very happy to be living with you and also very glad to enter this house as your wife. It's like a beautiful dream come true. But ..." Mia said before turning her smile into a wry one, "we can't be laughing and dancing, can we?" "That's what I meant. I have failed to ensure the safety of our wedding. If only Dad was still alive, our happiness would be perfect,” Julian regretted with a wrinkled face. Not wanting her husband to keep carrying the burden, Mia jerked the hand that was holding her lightly. "Come on, Julian. It's not your fault," she said softly. "We can't fight the fate. So, put away your regrets. Don't make Dad uneasy up there." From under the furrows of his brows, the man depicted disappointment. "But, I really want to make my wife happy," he said in a dragging voice. "I am happy," Mia said with a reassuring nod. A second later, the woman looked down at their intertwined fingers. "Do you know? Just being able to

"Yes, these two people used to look down at me," Mia said, making the knees of the employee who had insulted her tremble violently. "Oh no! How could it be like this? I don't want to be fired from Quebracha,” the thin-lipped woman thought with a grimace. “Tsk, what should I do to save my career? Should I apologize?” another employee with longer hair said inwardly. Knowing her suspicion was correct, Lena spontaneously looked at the employee standing in the corner of the elevator with a scornful look. "How could those women be so mean?" the young servant muttered with brows furrowed in displeasure. “Do they think they are perfect? They're not even prettier than me." Hearing Lena's muttering, Mia almost laughed. However, for the sake of maintaining her image, she put on an even face. “Then, what are you going to do with them, Madam? Does Mister Julian already know about this?” the young servant asked as she was no longer whispering.

"Why did you ask like that?" Mia asked with teary eyes. “Are you doubting my loyalty?” Hearing a voice that trembled with sorrow, Julian gasped. He just realized that his lips had said something inappropriate. However, before he could correct the mistake, his wife had already moved from the chair. “Mia … wait!” Quick as lightning, the man grabbed his wife's arm. “Sorry …, I didn't mean to offend you.” "You're just questioning my loyalty, Julian," the woman said, almost bursting into tears. Her chest and throat were already burning with disappointment. "We've only been married for two months, but you don't trust me anymore." While painting regret through the forehead, the man shook his head. "That's not what I meant," he moaned softly. "But that's what I caught with both of my ears!" Worried that he would lose Mia's love, Julian hugged the woman tightly. "Forgive me. Really ... I'm sorry. My brain is already insane because of th

"Are you nervous?" Julian whispered before kissing the head of the woman walking beside him. Although his heart was pounding, the man wore a relaxed expression as best he could. Smiling faintly, Mia shook her head. "No. I'm only 14 weeks pregnant, Julian. The doctor said that the gender of the baby could indeed be seen, but not clear. The possibility of wrongdoing is still great.” “But, you must be hoping that this is the Little Princess, right?” the man asked while stroking his wife's small belly. Shy to see other hospital visitors, Mia sighed faintly and looked down. Out of the corner of her eye, she met her husband's gaze. "Do you know that Mom repeatedly advises me not to get my hopes up.” "But you still hope?" Julian replied while raising an eyebrow. Wrinkling a smile, the pregnant woman nodded. "I don't want Dad's name and gifts to go to waste," she explained in a low voice. Understanding his wife's feelings, Julian suddenly chuc

"Then, if our child is a boy, what name is suitable for him?" Mia asked while rubbing her belly, trying to treat the guilt in the Little One. That woman felt unfair because she had forced the situation. The hope of having a baby girl must be immediately dashed. At the unexpected question, Julian's eyes automatically rolled upwards. After a moment of silence, he muttered. “How about we adopt Dad's idea? Grace ... becomes Gracedo? Gracello? Grazelo?” One more spontaneous laugh erupted from Mia's mouth. “That sounds unique, Julian. You're really creative in making names," the woman teased. "It's not an easy matter, Mia. Even you haven't found a nickname for me yet," the man grumbled while putting on a sullen look. After muffling the cheerful voice, the woman let out a faint sigh. “About that …. I guess, I'm comfortable just calling you Julian. My heart tingles every time I say that one beautiful word." “Is that a compliment to me or a way to esca

"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as his father placed him on the back of a pony. With round eyes, he surveyed his height from the ground. Even though it was not much, the toddler in the cowboy hat still showed a happy smile. “How is it, Little Evans? Are you happy?” the woman who held the horse's rein asked. Not daring to move much, Cayden nodded at a limited angle. "Yes, Greta. I am happy. It's thrilling!” he answered enthusiastically. “Thrilling?” Gabriella muttered, furrowing an eyebrow. While continuing to rock her niece, the woman expressed astonishment. “Where did you learn that word, Little Prince?” "Daddy often mentions it," the toddler replied, successfully making his father wince. "Daddy said that the nights spent with Mom were always thrilling." As Gabriella glared at her husband, Greta burst out laughing. "Gosh, Max. I think you should be more careful now. Your genius son can absorb all the words you speak.” "Right. I'll be more caref

"If you kept avoiding me, I would really quit the company," Julian said, successfully freezing Mr. Hunt's steps. The old man was then blinking, digesting the words he thought he heard wrong. “Actually, my position as a CEO is being threatened for some reasons. I tried to keep it a secret from all of you. I didn't even let Mia know. But as it turned out, it wasn't easy at all. My mind became adrift. And because the burden was too heavy, my emotions finally exploded. I'm so sorry it had to happen in front of you." Hearing the tone that seemed honest, Mr. Hunt slowly turned his focus. Two seconds later, he saw the tears slide from the grandson's eyes. "I've tried to be strong and tough, Grandpa. I thought I could solve all problems. But it turns out, I haven’t found any solution yet. That's why I was angry when I failed to find Grace and you at the cemetery. It got me think that I am a useless man," Julian explained with the gloomy eyes landed on the grass.

“Tsk, why does Grandpa run away like this? It just makes me feel even guiltier,” Julian grumbled between gasping breaths. Holding on to Mr. Hunt's message, he walked down the tree-lined path. “What should I do if Grandpa isn't there? Where should I look for him?” the man thought as he couldn't erase the wrinkles from his face. The burden in his heart was too heavy to ignore. After a few moments of struggling with the noise in his brain, Julian finally shook his head and blinked strongly. "No, no. Grandpa must be there. I'll take him home and things will automatically return to the way they were before," the man nodded, fostering hope. Ignoring the anxiety that kept swirling in his mind, he went faster. Unfortunately, as soon as Julian passed the cemetery gates, his steps were frozen. His jaw was dropping while his eyelids were lifted to the maximum. What he had hoped for quickly turned into disappointment. "No way! This is impossible!” he curs

"Dad," Cayden called quietly. A second later, the toddler handed Max a piece of bread that had been cleaned of jam. "I'm already full," he continued with a meaningful smile.Understanding the son's intentions, Max spontaneously raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to finish your bread again?"While showing two rows of tiny teeth, Cayden nodded. After a faint exhalation, the father began to vibrate the air with laughter."Gaby, look at what Little Prince did! I can get fat if he keeps handing me food,” the man said while showing the second bread he received from his son.“Just eat it, Max. You need more energy to help the Little Prince take care of Hasty,” the woman who was cleaning the dishes with a sponge replied.Hearing his mother's response, Cayden's eyes immediately widened. His energy had just risen to the peak. “I've finished breakfast, Mom. Can I go to the stable now?”"Yes, but you have to wash your face

Suddenly, Julian dropped his face into his hands. After exhaling heavily, he lifted his head again and put on an indescribable expression."I didn't mean to scare anyone, Mia. I just don't want Grandpa’s mistake to happen again," the man said with frown on his face."Yes, I know," Mia replied with the same thin voice. “But you can do it without hurting Grandpa's feelings, Julian. This matter can be discussed amicably.”While gritting his teeth, Julian shook his head. Confusion had returned to cover his eyes. “What should I do now? I already made Grandpa sad.""Apologize?" Mia answered with a grimace."Is that enough?" the man asked doubtfully. He began to realize that his anger had indeed crossed the line.Pondering, the woman nodded. “As long as it's sincere, Grandpa will definitely forgive you. And I think, you should also explain to Cayden that what you did was wrong. Don't let your nephew imitate something t

“Greta, have you prepared delicious toast for us?” Cayden asked as the hostess opened the door wider to welcome him. Seeing her father was still able to walk, the woman with high arch of the brows spontaneously sighed in relief. After shaking her head for a moment, she turned her gaze to the toddler who was still holding Mr. Hunt's hand and waiting for her response. "Of course I have. There is also strawberry jam for you. Are you hungry?” Greta asked while faking a smile. “Not me, but Grandpa. I heard the sound of his breathing all the way. Grandpa is very tired! He should eat a lot of bread," Cayden said with his trademark expression—round eyes and pursed lips. While stroking her son's head, Gabriella bent her knees. After leveling their eyes, the woman tilted her head. "You know where Greta put the plate of bread, don't you?" No more than two seconds, the toddler nodded. "Yes. On the dining table," he answered with a big smile. "That

"Sorry, Julian. I took Grace to see your grandmother for a while. Now, I intend to take her home. We're not wandering around or straying like you said," Mister Hunt explained with an indescribable expression. Even so, his hoarse voice was able to touch the hearts of the listeners, apart from his grandson. "But the way home is over there, Grandpa!" Julian snapped, still with eyebrows raised to the max. The young man didn't feel sorry at all for the hunched back that was getting weighed down by guilt. "I really can’t understand what’s on your mind. Don't you realize that your recklessness can lead to trouble? Didn't we agree to go together? Why did you secretly take Grace away?” he continued, thickening the wrinkles on his grandfather's forehead. Sensing her father's anger, Little Princess began to furrow her brows. The baby had never heard such a loud voice. When her eyes fell on Mr. Hunt's gloomy face, she spontaneously pouted. A second later, her heavy cry b

Arriving at the cemetery, Julian was taken aback. What he saw was completely beyond expectation. There were no old man and baby among the tombstones. The grandfather and Grace left absolutely no trace. "This is impossible," Julian muttered as he quickened his pace. Neglecting his initial attempt to remain calm, the man sped toward the direction Greta had given. After searching for a while, he finally found the grandmother's name on one of the stones. “Right, this is the place. They should be here," Julian sighed, sounding desperate. With deep furrows, he circled around, trying to find any trace of either his daughter or Grandpa Hunt. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the two remained off the radar. Confusion instantly grew bigger in Julian’s mind. "Tsk, how could it be like this?" he grumbled while clutching his head. Knowing that irritation, Mia gently touched her husband's arm. She knew that the man had failed to control hi

Carefully, Mr. Hunt wiped his great-granddaughter's cheek. Grace's red eyes no longer shed sadness. However, the old man still felt guilty for making the baby cry. "I'm sorry, Grace. I should have walked more calmly so you wouldn't wake up," he whispered in between his ragged breaths. After her face had been dry, Grace rested her head on Mister Hunt's shoulder. Blinking slowly, she pursed her lips. The furrow of her tiny brows indicated that she still wanted to roll up in the blanket on the crib. The baby wondered why she was with her great-grandfather, sitting on a long bench at the edge of a path. “When I was young, I only need fifteen minutes to arrive at your great-grandmother's grave. But now, why does it feel so long and tiring?” Mr. Hunt grumbled as he wiped his forehead with one hand. After one quick breath, the old man stood up again and held Grace in his languid arms. Although the baby was a bit heavy, his lips still curled up warmly.
