Though Nina was still grieving, she knew she had to pull herself together for the sake of her children. Life had to move forward. She stayed by Freya’s side throughout the embryo transfer process. Wilfred personally oversaw Freya’s care, giving detailed instructions on what to watch for during the early stages of pregnancy. Pharaoh had been so hopeful for Freya’s child to be born and Nina wanted to honor that hope. After all the care Pharaoh had given Nina, Orion, and Gemma, Nina felt it was her responsibility to care for Freya now. Freya, however, protested. “You already have your own children to look after. This is just the beginning for me. I can handle it. Plus, you have a helper at the villa. You don’t need to do everything yourself.” “That’s not the point,” Nina insisted. “We didn’t have enough time before to get close. Now that you’re here, I want to take care of you properly. I’ll make sure you’re healthy and glowing, so Dad can rest easy knowing we’re all taking ca

Jamie had been caring for Mrs. Lucas in the hospital for several days. Mrs. Lucas watched Jamie closely and couldn’t help but sigh. “I never realized before…”Sensing another trip down memory lane, Jamie interrupted with a warm smile. “Mom, let’s not dwell on the past, okay? What’s important is that you’re getting better now.”“Alright, alright, I won’t bring it up,” Mrs. Lucas said with a nod, her eyes glistening as she sipped her warm soup. She couldn’t deny how much brighter life had become.Around noon, Ben stopped by. Seeing his wife and mother enjoying each other’s company brought a sense of relief to him. “Well, of course,” Mrs. Lucas said with a proud grin. “My daughter-in-law is like a second daughter to me.” Jamie glanced at Ben and smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom’s recovering well. Just give her a few more days, and she’ll be good as new. I’ve got everything under control.” “I know you do.” Ben’s gaze softened with concern. “Just don’t overwork yourself.”Before Jam

Mrs. Lucas smiled faintly, her voice steady. “As long as she treats us well, that’s all that matters. After all these years, I’ve stopped chasing after perfection.”“Can love put food on the table?” Mrs. Hughes lowered her voice, leaning in. “It’s always best to find someone equally matched. Take my daughter, for example. Raised in a family of scholars, educated in arts and literature, and now she’s grown into a stunning young woman.”“Really? I haven’t had the chance to meet her yet, but if she’s anything like her mother, I’m sure she’s very beautiful.” Mrs. Lucas responded with a polite compliment.Mrs. Hughes seemed momentarily pleased, but when Mrs. Lucas didn’t take the bait, she sighed inwardly, feeling a bit deflated. Just as she was about to push the conversation further, Jamie walked in from the hall.“Oh, you’re back already?” Mrs. Hughes said, trying to mask her disappointment with a polite smile.“Ben’s firm is busy,” Jamie replied coolly as she gathered a few items fr

Mrs. Lucas nodded thoughtfully. “That’s a good idea.” Since her injury wasn’t too severe, she just needed to keep up with dressing changes and avoid strain. Back home, with the sound of Charlie’s playful laughter filling the space, her recovery seemed to pick up pace. When Ben returned home, he looked visibly tired but managed a warm smile. “Jamie, come to the study. I have something to discuss with you.” Jamie put down what she was working on and followed him. “Sure.” Inside the study, Ben pulled a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of her. “Take a look.” Jamie skimmed through it quickly. “What is this?” “It’s an application for a national legal debate competition. The winners not only gain recognition but significantly enhance their reputation within the legal field,” Ben explained. “I’ve definitely heard of it,” Jamie said, nodding. “But I also know it’s not easy to qualify. I used to watch this program a lot when I dreamed of being a lawyer.”

“Got it!” Jamie nodded subtly, a flicker of excitement coursing through her. As more attendees filled the room, a prominent attorney, Ken Freeman, walked by, glancing at the name placard in front of her. His lips curled into a cold smirk. “The Lucas firm must be scraping the bottom of the barrel, bringing in just anyone to represent them.” Jamie frowned slightly but refused to show any sign of insecurity. She understood that her background and status made her an easy target for skepticism in this elite circle. However, she had no intention of letting such dismissive remarks define her.Looking him squarely in the eye, she responded with a calm, unwavering smile. “Everyone has to start somewhere. What matters is how far we go, isn’t it?”Attorney Freeman hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by her composure and steady gaze. Then he let out a derisive laugh, as if her confidence was amusing.“Well, it looks like this year’s grand prize is heading elsewhere,” Attorney Freeman

After the press conference, Jamie returned to her seat, and Ben approached, sitting beside her. He gently patted her shoulder, offering silent encouragement.Jamie exhaled deeply. “Did you really invest a lot just for me?”“This was an additional slot. It doesn’t impact anyone else. It’s the best way to give you a chance,” Ben replied earnestly. His expression was steady, silently urging her to focus on the competition and not dwell on minor concerns.Jamie steadied herself. “I can’t promise I won’t disappoint you.”“It’s not about me being disappointed. It’s about not disappointing yourself,” Ben said, looking at her intently.Her heart swelled with gratitude.The next day marked the first round of preliminary debates. The setup was straightforward: participants argued as opposing counsel for a hypothetical case. There were no absolute right or wrong answers and the key was the skill of persuasion.By sheer luck, Jamie was paired against a small law firm representative. As she

Ben met Attorney Freeman’s provocation with cool composure, glancing back at him with a faint smile. “Feel free to file a complaint against me. I’ll countersue for defamation, and we can settle it properly in court. How about that?”Attorney Freeman’s smirk faltered, and he shrugged nonchalantly. “Forget it. I’m not looking for trouble. Everyone knows you’re not someone to cross. Besides, I never explicitly said there was favoritism.”Ben let out a faint chuckle. “If you’re not interested in facing me in court, then let’s leave it to the competition. When the time comes, we’ll see who comes out on top.”Freeman raised a brow. “You’ve got that much faith in Jamie?”“Absolutely,” Ben replied firmly.Meanwhile, onstage, the host announced the advancing contestants, and Jamie’s name was among them. Relief and excitement washed over her as she stepped off the stage, her heart brimming with satisfaction.Ben stood waiting, taking a bouquet of flowers from his assistant and presenting i

After confirming the time, Jamie picked up Charlie and headed to Nina’s house. Recent events had taken a toll on Nina, and she looked visibly tired. When she opened the door, she welcomed Jamie with a smile and handed her a glass of water. “Come in, have a seat.” “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you during such a critical time,” Jamie said, her voice tinged with guilt as she noticed Nina’s weary expression. Nina gave a smile, exhaling softly as she sat beside Jamie. “Don’t be. There’s no need for formality between us. It’d feel out of place.” Jamie offered a few comforting words, but Nina quickly shifted her attention to Charlie, who had been quietly observing. Charlie blinked and said, “I heard Orion hasn’t been feeling well. I brought him a gift to cheer him up.” Nina smiled warmly and pointed upstairs. “He’s in his room. He’s been spending most of his time up there since… well, you know.” Jamie understood completely. She gently patted Charlie’s head. “Why don’t

But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

“Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
