One of Nathan’s friends patted him on the shoulder and teased, “Nathan, you’d better bring Isabella back soon. If one day she returns pregnant and asks for a divorce, you’ll have no choice but to cry.”

“Also, if the famous Nathan gets dumped by Isabella, it’d be a real blow to your reputation.”

Grinding his teeth, Nathan muttered, “She wouldn’t dare...”

Ultimately, perhaps pressured by the impending company gala, Nathan chose to compromise.

“Noah, book me a flight to the U.S. And buy some gifts for my wife,” he instructed.

His assistant's expression was hard to read. “Yes, sir.”

---

The next day.

Nathan boarded a flight to the U.S., carrying a ragdoll cat as a gift his assistant had purchased.

He had finally decided to personally bring Isabella back home.

He thought to himself, *This trip will make up for the months I’ve ignored her. When I arrive, I’ll coax her a little, and she’ll happily follow me back.*

Nathan went to the Smiths’ house. Six months ago, he ha

    Nathan returned to the capital alone. When Nathan's father learned that Nathan had not brought Isabella back, he erupted in rage. He berated Nathan furiously: "I opposed your marriage to Isabella back then, but you insisted on marrying her to save your 'pure-hearted love.' Since you married her, you should live a good life together and work as a team. Though Isabella's family background isn't great, she is obedient and filial. We accepted her. Yet, you still entangled yourself with her Sis... You've broken Isabella's heart; that's why she refuses to come back!" The more Nathan's father spoke, the angrier he became: "If Isabella won’t return, then you have no reason to attend the Hill family's annual gathering. It would only invite ridicule." Nathan's mother paled with fright. "Honey, Nathan will definitely bring Isabella back. Please give him some time." Nathan was the Hill family’s only son, but that status depended on his ability to sustain the family's enterprise.

    Theodore stumbled out of his room, looking flustered. "What’s wrong?" Isabella glared at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Her shoulders heaved as she struggled to contain her anger. "You’re faking being sick just to avoid school... Do you even understand? **Of all pursuits, studying is paramount!** If you don’t want to be bullied anymore in the future, you must study hard!" Theodore instantly caved, his sharp peach blossom eyes drooping. "I was wrong." Isabella’s voice trembled with frustration. "Theodore, I am willing to shield you from storms, but the world is vast, and not all storms can be blocked for you." "Reflect on this properly." She angrily grabbed his school bag and slammed the door on her way out. Theodore pouted. "Why is she so fiery?" When the door creaked open again, he smirked knowingly. "I knew she couldn't stay mad for long." However, the sound of polished leather shoes echoed in the room. Theodore’s heart sank as a stern middle-aged man strode in be

    Theodore's voice was icy cold: "This is my home. I come and go as I please. You have no say in the matter."The eldest master of the Sanchez family glared at him, his face twisted in rage. "This is *my* home. I've lived here since I was a child. And you? This is probably the first time you've set foot here in sixteen years!"Theodore retorted, "You dare speak of rights when you're the intruder?"The eldest master turned red with anger. "I'm a full twelve years older than you—my mother knew my father long before yours ever did—"Theodore cut him off, his tone sharp: "Need a lesson in law? According to the Civil Code, only children born to married couples are legitimate. Since your mother never obtained a marriage license with my father, she bore you as a mistress."The eldest master’s face flushed crimson with fury. "You just wait—I’ll have Father kick you out!"At that moment, the butler stepped out of the study. He glanced at the fuming eldest master and then at the composed T

    "Of course." The elders nodded in agreement. Families like the Sanchez, the Browns, the Hills, and the Millers, towering financial empires, had patriarchs with unparalleled wisdom and experience. Their ability to evaluate potential successors was unmatched. Anyone who caught their eye was undoubtedly a promising candidate for inheriting a financial dynasty. While the Hill family previously groomed Nathan, their recent promotion of Caleb hinted at ambiguity in the Hill Group's line of succession. Seeing Caleb basking in the spotlight, chatting animatedly with the family heads, Nathan felt the stirrings of crisis. His face darkened and remained that way. As if things weren’t bad enough, a mocking voice broke through his thoughts. "Feeling sidelined, Mr.Hill?" Nathan turned to see his good friend Guillermo Sanchez approaching with two glasses of drinks. Handing him one, Guillermo remarked, “Nathan, don’t blame me for pointing out the obvious, but your move to replace your wi

    Rumors about Nathan Hill’s favoritism toward a mistress over his wife quickly spread through the elite circles, sparking outrage among noblewomen and debutantes. Nathan’s father had to expend significant effort to quell the damaging gossip. Though the situation was resolved, Nathan’s reputation suffered. Frustrated and disappointed, his father rewarded Caleb, Nathan's half-brother, with control of a few more companies. To reclaim his former glory, Nathan decided to pin all his hopes on the luxury brand company he had recently established. This endeavor was his only chance to prove his business acumen and redeem himself. Furthermore, he needed to show the world that his closeness with Victoria was purely for professional purposes. --- **In Milan** The preparation for the fashion design competition was nearing its end. Isabella had crafted numerous outfits but lacked a design catering to the upper-class market. It wasn’t because she lacked the skill, but rather because she coul

    Nathan suddenly lost control and reached out to grab Isabella, but he didn’t expect her to slap him in return. She screamed in shock, “Ah! Pervert! How dare you harass me…” Before the words fully left her mouth, several men in the shop had already stepped in to block Nathan. Taking advantage of the commotion, Isabella quickly dashed out of the store. Nathan’s face turned ashen. Though he hadn’t seen her face clearly, the voice confirmed his suspicion—it was his wife, Isabella. He desperately tried explaining to the foreigners holding him back, “I’m not a pervert! That girl just now, she’s my wife. Let me go! I need to bring her home!” The men who intervened looked at Victoria skeptically. “She’s your wife? Then who is this beside you?” Nathan was momentarily speechless. The disdain in the men’s eyes was obvious. Victoria, always eager to cling to Nathan, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. “You misunderstand. I’m his wife’s Sis, and we’re just here looking for

    Wave after wave, the applause continued, endless and fervent.Victoria grew uneasy. "Nathan, Bella’s designs are so well-received. She’ll be my biggest threat to winning the championship."Nathan’s expression darkened as he replied coldly, "As long as I’m here, no one can stop you from winning."His brooding gaze fell on Isabella, who was dressed in a modestly priced suit. His lips curled into a faint smirk. "Professor Jasmine is the founder of a luxury brand that caters exclusively to European royalty and nobility.Isabella’s designs are impressive, but her inherent humility and impoverished background won’t escape Jasmine’s discerning eye. Jasmine’s style epitomizes wealth and luxury. She would never accept a designer from such a lowly origin. Just watch. Jasmine won’t give her a high score, let alone take her as an apprentice."Victoria’s eyes lit up. "Nathan, your insight is unparalleled."She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, Bella doesn’t have the money to dress herself in lu

    "Isabella." Caught off guard, Isabella barely had time to react before Nathan had risen to his feet and strode toward her. His strong, vice-like grip clamped down on her wrist, holding her in place. Isabella stared at him coldly, her expression detached as though he were a complete stranger. Her distant gaze stabbed at him like a dagger. "Isabella, why are you in Milan? Didn’t I tell you to stay obediently in the United States?" he demanded angrily. A mocking smile tugged at Isabella’s lips. He had sent her to the U.S., and now he expected her to comply without question? Did he see her as nothing more than a thoughtless accessory to his life? Nathan hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. "Even if you wanted to come to Milan, you should have informed me beforehand." At that moment, Victoria appeared, stepping forward with a falsely concerned expression. She adopted the tone of an elder Sis, speaking down to Isabella. "Bella, do you know how worried Nathan was whe

The villa has become extraordinarily noisy.Thorne and Thea were stopped by diligent security guards at the door, who asked, "Sir, Miss, who are you looking for?"Thea and Thorne exchanged a smile, and just as they were about to explain, they heard an excited voice coming from inside."Thorne?"The security guard saw Ruby, respectfully bowed his head, with his hands hanging on both sides, and called out, "President."Ruby walked up with a smile and said to the security guard, "You must look carefully,

    Thea took the glass of water and smiled gratefully at Thorne. Perhaps it was the overwhelming sense of crisis in that moment, or maybe it was to teach a lesson to this naive young girl, but Thea unexpectedly blurted out affectionately, "Thank you, husband."Thorne's beautiful pupils dilated, and a sweet smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes. His heart felt as if a hundred flowers were blooming.This was the first time Thea called him her husband.Perhaps sensing Thorne's delight, Thea's face involuntarily turned red. She shyly tugged at his sleeve and said, "I..."Thorne, however, rewarded her with a kiss on the cheek and joyfully said, "Let's call each other like this from now on. I like this nickname."The young girl indeed looked skeptical, “Are you really a couple? Does she never call you husband? Hmph, I knew you were lying to me. You definitely aren't a real couple."Thea felt both ashamed and excited. She was ashamed that

    Thea broke out in a cold sweat. She had always been unstoppable in the mall and had never really been afraid of anyone. However, when faced with the young girl's provocation, she did feel a bit fearful.The mood instantly became unattractive.Thorne saw the deep self-doubt and timidity in her eyes, and he hugged her with a heart full of pity. He regretted it at this moment. He had lived too comfortably, always finding trouble and insisting on teaching her how to express love on such a beautiful day. It made Thea lack confidence in many ways, especially when facing this shameless young girl, Thea's aura was very weak.Thorne held her tightly, encouraging her, “She was young and foolish, unaware of her own limitations. Clearly, she couldn't compare to you in any way. She wasn't as beautiful as you, nor as intelligent, and she lacked your grace, maturity, and wisdom. Most importantly, she didn't hold the same significance in my heart as you do."Thea s

    She was afraid of trouble and always felt that life should eliminate complicated forms, the simpler the better.Just seeing the old couple's faces that couldn't calm down for a long time, Thea felt that maybe she was wrong.At this moment, the old lady walked over and handed her a flower, saying, "Young lady, I am passing on the happiness of my golden wedding anniversary with my old man to you."Thea felt a little disappointed. She had just had an argument with Thorne last night. She really didn't know if she, a person with low emotional intelligence, could still keep someone as excellent as Thorne.The old lady seemed to sense her sadness and comforted her with a smile, "Girl, is that tall and handsome man inside your husband? I can tell, he loves you very much. Although he came out last night, he sat at the door, his gaze fixed on your room."Thea smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I also loved him very much."The old lady looked at Thea and

    After hanging up the phone, Thea fell into deep thought.She pondered with great effort: the difference between a lover and a sibling? She asked herself sincerely, she regarded Thorne as family, as her closest person. As for whether they were siblings or lovers, she had never carefully distinguished, she felt it was not necessary to nitpick like that.Ah, I thought for a long time, but there was no result.Finally, Thea lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling and continuing her mental battle.Thorne made dinner and brought it in."It's time to eat."Thea cautiously glanced at his face, making sure he wasn't angry with her, and that he had no intention of continuing their cold war. She cheerfully got up."Thorne, the noodles you cooked were delicious," she switched to praise mode.Thorne glanced at her. He sometimes didn't understand why Thea, who was clearly intelligent and sensitive, was so careless and casual when it came

    Thea also never thought about hiding it from her family and told them the truth, “I saw Ezekiel, and he seemed to be cursed by fate. Both turning points in my life were related to him, and I always felt like I brought him bad luck."William was surprised, “That is something to be grateful for. Let's donate some money to the church."Thea said, "This was natural."Thorne looked at Thea's still furrowed brow and speculated, "Did he have any instructions for you?"Thea nodded silently."Ezekiel told me to avoid a certain person in the future. This person would bring me a disaster. However, Ezekiel did not tell me who this person was."As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became extremely solemn.Thea suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Just be happy, this is just a prophecy. It may not be true, and even if it is, as long as we find a master to help me before that, I'll be fine."Thorn

    Thea looked at the man in front of her, who was no longer young, and realized.Over a decade has passed, things have changed, and she is no longer the girl who was bullied and helpless. However, Ezekiel is also no longer the hypnotist who wandered the earth with a carefree attitude."How come you are here?" Thea was surprised.Ezekiel said, "I had my way of living."Thea's eyes instantly turned red, “Anyway, I have to thank you sincerely for helping me so much back then.""Ezekiel, I know you are not an ordinary person. You know the past lives of people and also know how to resolve someone's heavenly tribulations. I was ignorant when I was young and didn't know that this was actually revealing secrets of the heavens. I suppose revealing such secrets must be bad, and I don't know about you..." Thea's words were filled with concern.Ezekiel smiled faintly and said, "You are clever. I did indeed reveal many secrets, so I faced many conseq
