Larissa was about to deny it when she suddenly remembered something.She had asked Caspian to arrange blind dates for her since she wanted to find Vincent a stepdad."Well …" Larissa felt guilty; her gaze shifted.She silently cursed Caspian for being unreliable. Why were her blind dates all so weird?Ambrose noticed how guilty she looked.He held her chin and scoffed. "You left and took my son with you. I haven't even settled that score with you yet. We're stuck together for life!"Larissa felt frustrated.Who would've known that Ambrose would catch her for going on blind dates?"Remember, I'm Vincent's only father, and I will be your only lover!" declared Ambrose.Larissa's heart stopped momentarily. Yet, she still looked calm, as if what Ambrose said had not affected her one bit."It's okay if you cannot accept me now. I will regain my memories. When I recall our past, you will have no other reason to reject me."Larissa looked up. She was about to speak when Ambrose kiss
Alicia wishfully hoped that Ambrose would forgive Dorothy.As she imagined things, Alicia almost laughed out loud.But she snapped back to reality and began to look for Vincent.She was confused; Vincent had been walking in front of her. How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?At the same time, Vincent hid in a secluded corner.He raised his chin proudly. "MAVIS, didn't you say that we only had a 17% chance of coming in?"MAVIS' chip had a slight glitch again."Young master, based on my calculation, we will 100% get discovered if you act recklessly."Vincent smiled cheekily. "Who said I'm the one doing the bad stuff? We have a scapegoat here."MAVIS thought that human children were extremely crafty.Analyzing their behavior was too challenging for an AI like MAVIS!Vincent carefully pulled out a glass bottle from his bag. Inside, there were termites."These are the last of the termites I have. But even if Bad Daddy finds out, it wasn't my fault. It was that evil lady's
Larissa panicked, but she seemed calm on the outside."So, what? You don't have proof that it was Vince."Ambrose said shamelessly, "Regardless if it was Vince, I'm homeless now. I'm staying."Larissa felt bewildered.She felt that Vincent had dug her grave for her!Ambrose laughed heartily."You don't have to prepare a room for me. I can just sleep with you."Larissa took a deep breath and growled, "You wish!"A minute later, Ambrose got kicked out with his suitcase.He woefully knocked on Larissa's door."What if I sleep on the couch?"But Larissa didn't budge.Ambrose negotiated, "I'm good with the floor, too."Larissa still didn't respond.Just then, Vincent skipped in happily.He looked at Ambrose in confusion, then glanced at his suitcase.Ambrose broke into a smile when he saw Vincent. He picked Vincent up and kissed him."Vince, were you the one who destroyed Daddy's home?"Vincent was still in a daze because of his kiss, but he immediately returned to his sen
Ambrose found out about his past with Larissa from Max.He wanted to talk about it with Larissa, but the reality was that Larissa was still angry. She refused to see him."You can deal with your suitresses first! Don't get Vince and I involved!"Ambrose's suitcase got tossed out, but he wanted to bring Vincent along.Vincent was stuck at home, doing homework. Larissa didn't allow Vincent to go outside.So, Ambrose sent a drone in to communicate with Vincent.Vincent responded with a scribbled note that wrote "Mommy angy".Ambrose understood what he meant and felt frustrated. So, he beat Max up.Max wanted to cry.He hadn't planned to hide it intentionally. Before this, Larissa had been back at Sisilia Island, while Ambrose had lost his memories.Even if Max had mentioned it to Ambrose, he wouldn't have been able to remember it.Later on, Max got sent to work abroad, so he had no opportunity to bring it up.After countless rejections, Ambrose stared meaningfully at the Sawye
To be exact, Ambrose hadn't regained his memories. Instead, he had heard of his past from Max.While he did not regain his memories, he was more convicted about his relationship with Larissa.Ambrose said, "I had failed Larissa, and I will definitely retrieve my memories."But before that, I hope you will stop finding fault with me and let me spend time with Larissa and Vincent."Caspian, Dylan, and Rio discussed among themselves for a long time.Eventually, they decided to give Ambrose a chance by halting the blind date arrangements for Larissa.None of the dates had been satisfactory, anyway!Since nobody was good enough for Larissa, they preferred Ambrose above all.…A light breeze blew across the serene yard.A beautiful woman sat in the garden … but she was on her phone and sipping on juice!Vincent had gone out with Luca, so Larissa had some time for herself. She decided to catch up on screen time and enjoy some juice.Vincent loved juice too, but Larissa was worried
Larissa thought that perhaps, Nicholas would be different from Ethan and his family.Nicholas said, embarrassed, "Miss, could you give me the bottle if you don't want it?"Larissa handed the bottle to him. "Here you go."Nicholas' eyes lit up. The bottle was still full of water!Larissa didn't drink any of it, and she had only used a bit of water to clean his wound.Nicholas asked carefully, "Can I drink the rest of the water?"Larissa felt bad for him."Go ahead. It's yours now."Nicholas immediately took a sip and then smiled, satisfied.He took a few sips before carefully keeping the bottle away in his ragged bag, albeit it was more like rags than a bag.Larissa already knew the answer, but she still asked, "What are you up to?"Nicholas waved the large woven bag at her."I'm going to collect plastic bottles. This one can carry a lot of them!"Larissa had only ever lived a tough life when she ended up at the orphanage at three years old. After she had been adopted by th
Nicholas' face once again lit up with hope. He exclaimed excitedly, "I know a few more residential areas."They're a little far from here, but there are tons of bottles there!"Larissa's heart clenched tightly.He was such a lovable child. He was nothing like Ethan and his family.Gently patting his head, Larissa said, "Alright, let's go."The two of them headed toward the place Nicholas had mentioned.On their way there, whenever they saw someone toss away their empty bottle, Nicholas' eyes would gleam with excitement.He had extremely sharp eyesight, whereby he would be able to spot discarded bottles in an instant.Nicholas had a frail body, which made his head look larger than it was.With a large plastic bag in hand, he ran about with his short legs.In just a short while, he managed to collect around ten more bottles."We can do it, miss!" Nicholas exclaimed as he puffed up his chest.Seeing him so enthusiastic, Larissa couldn't help but smile.She took Nicholas' tiny
Larissa returned to the Sawyer Residence.As she reached the entrance, the security guard greeted her, "Welcome back, Ms. Larissa."Larissa pondered for a moment before she took out a picture she had taken of Nicholas and showed it to the security guard.She instructed, "If this kid comes over, just pretend like you don't see him and let him in."Nicholas was clearly a kid with a strong ego. Larissa was honestly unsure of how to help him.Therefore, the most she could do was perhaps offer him a bit of warmth.The security guard assumed that Nicholas was Vincent's friend so he quickly abided.…Upon returning home, Larissa went on to take a shower.As she exited the bathroom, she noticed a shadow flicker by the window.She went to take a look but only managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of a thin figure.If her guess was right, it was Nicholas who had followed her back.Nicholas had no other intentions and simply wanted to ensure that Larissa had returned home safely.Laris
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
