Chapter 1

In the empty villa, Celia Quinn sat motionless on the sofa. It wasn't until much later that the villa's front door swung open, and Lucas Shaw stepped inside. His gaze paused briefly on her, then his expression turned cold. "Yvonne is running a fever today. Why did you keep calling me?" Celia rose to her feet, her head still lowered, remaining silent. She didn’t respond, and Lucas didn’t leave either. After a while, she finally spoke in a low voice, “I needed to talk to you earlier.”“What for? You’re standing here perfectly fine. What could possibly be so urgent?”Her explanation failed to earn his understanding. Instead, his tone grew colder. “Didn’t I tell you Yvonne isn’t feeling well and that I’d be with her all day? What’s the point of you doing this on purpose? Celia, I’ve told you before not to harbor those improper thoughts about me. I’m your uncle—it’s impossible! If you pull something like this again, you’ll have to move out.”With that, Lucas went straight upstairs, slamm...

Chapter 2
The next morning, Celia rose early and left the house to settle her affairs. Her death had been abrupt, and it wasn’t until last night, after hours of searching online, that she realized how many loose ends needed tying up. But now that Lucas had someone he wanted to build a new family with, as his adopted daughter, she felt like nothing more than a burden. She didn’t want to leave him with the trouble of dealing with her aftermath. At the registry office, when she explained that she wanted to terminate her own records, the clerk was incredulous and confirmed with her repeatedly. “Miss, a record can only be terminated when someone passes away. Are you sure about this?” Celia forced a wry smile and nodded. “I’ll be gone from this world in six days.” Hearing this, the clerk assumed she had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. They gave her a look of pity, then glanced at her file and shook their head regretfully. She was only eighteen. The clerk didn’t press further and

Chapter 3
Without another word, Lucas grabbed Celia’s arm and dragged her back to the dining table, firmly seating her in a chair before returning to Yvonne’s side. Celia glanced up at him, watching as he tenderly soothed Yvonne. When he noticed her gaze, he turned to glare at her, a silent warning in his eyes. Swallowing her bitterness, Celia picked up her plate and, despite the searing pain in her stomach, forced herself to eat every bite. Tears fell silently onto her plate as she lowered her head. Each mouthful felt like swallowing fire, the burning sensation crawling down her throat and mingling with the salty sting of her tears. She couldn’t tell which hurt more—her stomach or her heart. The meal dragged on in strained silence, with Celia enduring her agony while Lucas and Yvonne shared their intimate exchanges. Finally, it was over. Just as Celia set down her utensils, the sound of a car pulling up outside broke the tension. “That must be my things arriving!” Yvonne exclaimed w

Chapter 4
The next morning, Celia woke up early and headed to the dining room, only to notice someone already in the kitchen. It was Lucas, wearing an apron as he prepared breakfast, with Yvonne wrapped around him from behind. He didn’t push her away. Instead, he would glance back at her occasionally, his expression soft with affection, even smiling indulgently. Their intimacy played out clearly before Celia’s eyes, bringing a sudden wave of memories from the past. Back then, the house was full of staff, but Lucas was always too busy working late into the night and often not coming home. The staff, seeing her as just a helpless child, took advantage of the situation by neglecting their duties, sometimes even withholding her meals. When Lucas discovered their behavior, he fired every single one of them. Determined to care for her himself, he learned to cook and handled every meal for her, three times a day with no detail overlooked. But now, she couldn’t let herself love him anymore.

Chapter 5
When Celia saw the items on the floor, her heart skipped a beat. She had hidden them so carefully—how had Lucas found them? For a moment, panic flickered across her face. It took her a moment to collect herself before she stammered, “Tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents’ passing. I bought these as a way to honor their memory.”Hearing her response, Lucas hesitated, the odd tension in his chest easing slightly. After a moment, he said, “I’ll go with you to visit them tomorrow.” “There’s no need, Uncle,” she replied quickly, shaking her head. “You should focus on spending time with Yvonne and handling work. I’ve caused you enough trouble in the past. I won’t be a burden to you anymore.” Lucas had been prepared for her to accept his offer with gratitude, but her unexpected refusal left him stunned. Shock flickered in his eyes as Celia turned and left without giving him a chance to respond. Once back in her room, she silently tore another page from the calendar, shredding th

Chapter 6
Hearing Lucas’ sharp question, Celia snapped back to reality. Noticing the love letters still in her hands, she quickly placed them back into the drawer and mumbled an explanation. “I was just trying to tidy up for you…” But her attempt to explain didn’t soften his mood. Instead, his tone grew colder. “Did you look at the contents?” Celia froze, surprised that this was what he cared about most. Seeing his expression darken further, she quickly shook her head. “No, I didn’t read them.” Her answer seemed to ease his tension slightly, but when he spoke again, his voice was still edged with irritation. “Leave. And don’t touch my things again without my permission.” “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again,” she murmured, lowering her head. Without another word, she turned and left the study. Back in her room, Celia lay on her bed, but her mind kept drifting back to the letters she had seen in the study. She couldn’t recall ever hearing about Lucas being interested in someone. As far

Chapter 7
Lucas accepted the gift from her, his expression unreadable. “You can save your congratulations for the engagement party.”Engagement party? But she wouldn’t live to see that day. Celia lowered her head, silent and unresponsive. She neither explained nor argued, merely handed over the gift before walking away. Finding a quiet corner, she sat down alone. Lucas didn’t pay much attention as she left. He remained by Yvonne’s side, leading her through the crowd with a gentle smile. He patiently introduced her to every guest offering their congratulations, his demeanor full of warmth and affection. Before long, after greeting everyone, Lucas and Yvonne disappeared from the crowd altogether. Celia lingered for a while longer before standing and quietly slipping out of the banquet hall. She had always disliked these crowded, noisy gatherings. In the past, Lucas would notice her discomfort and quietly lead her away halfway through. Now, that habit hadn’t changed but the person he

Chapter 8
Just as Celia was about to speak, an unexpected commotion unfolded. Two children, laughing and chasing each other on skateboards, came racing toward the pool. Neither noticed the people standing nearby until it was too late. Failing to stop in time, they crashed into Yvonne, sending her tumbling into the pool. With a loud splash, water erupted from the pool. Celia froze for a moment before snapping back to reality. Ignoring the children, she stepped forward, ready to jump in and help. But before she could move, a figure darted past her. A powerful force shoved her back, and she stumbled before regaining her balance. Looking up, she saw it was Lucas. Without hesitation, Lucas stripped off his jacket and dove into the pool. Moments later, he surfaced, pulling Yvonne to safety. Wrapping her in his coat, he turned to Celia, his brow furrowed. “What happened?” Before Celia could explain, Yvonne spoke first, her voice soft and trembling, laced with just the right amount of vulner

Chapter 9
On the final day of the countdown, Celia came downstairs to find Lucas and Yvonne at the door, preparing to head out. She hesitated for a moment before calling out to him. “Uncle, I know you’re busy, but could you come back tonight for dinner? Just one meal—just the two of us.” She wanted to bid him a proper goodbye.Her eyes were filled with reluctant longing, a quiet plea. But the moment Lucas heard her words, he instinctively assumed it was another attempt at a confession and was ready to refuse. Before he could speak, Yvonne patted his hand, her tone light and understanding. “It’s fine, I’ll catch up with some friends tonight. It’s been a while. You’re her guardian. Don’t hold grudges with a kid over such trivial matters.” With her gentle persuasion, Lucas eventually agreed. Celia got the answer she wanted, yet the ache in her chest only deepened. She stood silently by the door, watching as they got into the car and drove off, the sound of the engine fading into the dis

Chapter 10
Five days later, Lucas returned from Winter Town and immediately noticed something off about the villa. There was no Celia rushing to greet him as she always did. As he changed his shoes and walked into the living room, an unsettling stillness hung in the air. It was too quiet. A thought struck him—Celia had been unusually silent for the past five days. He didn’t receive any calls or messages from her.“Where’s Celia?” Yvonne’s voice came from behind, light and teasing. “She’s probably still sulking because you missed dinner that night. But it wasn’t your fault. You had work. She’s just being childish. You should go talk to her and smooth things over.” Her words only ignited his simmering frustration. “Childish?” Lucas snapped. “She’s about to start college and still acts like this? Playing games and pouting? Fine. Let her sulk. No one is to speak to her until she comes to her senses.” Yvonne hid the flicker of satisfaction in her eyes, pretending to comfort him with a few
