Henry expressed coldly, "You’re not the only Burt here. I am, too. As a member of the Burt family, I have the right and the authority to voice my opinions about the Whites."As Karl stood up, Timothy also stood up and walked to Karl's side, pressing him back into his seat."Karl, sit. I would like t
After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Danielle took a nap and woke up feeling bored, so Karl suggested, "How about we watch a movie this time?"She gave him a sidelong glance and replied, not too pleased, "Another movie that both you and Willow like?"He chuckled and said, "I'm hap
The New Year's Eve dinner was livelier than expected. Knowing Danielle had personally prepared the food, Willow expressed her admiration."Ms. Wendell, I'd love to learn from you if there’s a chance," Willow said."Learning from me won’t be possible, but if you're interested, our chefs at home can
After that night, Danielle found herself conflicted. She did not know whether she should refuse or accept him. Karl always had a way of conquering her heart when he sensed her inner turmoil, whispering irresistible promises in her ear. He repeatedly assured her that he would be gentle. This time
Karl brought Danielle and Timothy to visit Henry and Willow for the New Year.After breakfast, they set off for the St Breton Church.Upon arriving at the church, everyone got out of the car. Since Danielle was visiting for the first time, Timothy took the initiative to be her guide."Sis, even tho
Karl gently poked her forehead. "When did I say I wanted to blame you?"Danielle raised her chin stubbornly. "Then, what do you want to say?""I just wanted to ask if you want to return home with me.""Ah?" Danielle was momentarily surprised. Why was he bringing up going back home at a time like thi
Karl's eyes were bottomless as he recounted, "I went to the same primary school as Willow, but we didn't interact much during those years. We didn't exchange many words. I only vaguely remembered that there was a girl named Willow in our class."When I was twenty, I traveled to France for a business
Danielle grew inexplicably concerned. “What happened?” “Two days before I went home, somebody must have tampered with Willow's car. On that day... Willow was picked on at work so she was in a bad mood, and when my brother found out about it, he went to see her to comfort her. He instructed the driv
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
