"Why are you so strange? Earlier you showed compulsion, but now you are forcing me to come with you. Are you afraid that your brother will be angry if he finds out that you have abandoned me in the middle of the road?"

This time, Jeremy didn't let Ava off the hook. He caught her other wrist, then stared at her intensely.

"Yes. I don't want to argue with my brother because of your problematic behavior. Now let's get in the car."

Ava snorted in amusement. "If you argue with your brother, it's your fault. It's your personality that's causing the problem, not mine."

Jeremy snorted tiredly. Without further ado, he lifted Ava onto his shoulders. The girl could not help but gasp.

"Hey! Put me down! I don't want to share the car with you! I'd rather wait for a taxi than have to deal with your arrogance and accusations."

Ava pushed Jeremy's back, trying to separate her body from the man. However, Jeremy's arm was too strong. He brought her to the car door. When she was about to run away,

    Ben opened the door and swung his hand inside. "Please come in, Mr. Harper." Jeremy stepped in accompanied by Ava. "Thank you." Ben's eyes were now focused on Ava. "So, are you here to introduce your future wife? You came to deliver invitations?" Jeremy raised an eyebrow, not smiling at all. "You're interested in her?" Ben raised his hands. "I don't dare mess with the Harper’s women anymore. I got enough lessons." Jeremy nodded. "Good." His response confused Ava. However, the girl did not change expression. She just blinked, trying to read Jeremy's movements. "Is your offer still valid?" Ben's eyes widened. "You guys want to work with me?" Jeremy nodded. "I can persuade the twins to become models for your product, but ... I need your help. I didn't choose the wrong partner, right?" Ben spread his hands and sneered. "You can rely on me at any time." "Then, may I borrow your car?" Ben's expression turned confused. "What for?" "Several people are following me. I need privacy

    "Did Grandma ever come up with such a clever strategy?" Louis asked, whispering. Diana blinked her eyes. "That is a secret." Suddenly, Emily laughed. Her eyes sparkled with admiration. "When I’ve grown up, I want to be as cool as Grandma Diana. I will be an expert at strategizing and defeating all opponents." "Then, study properly. So later, you can develop strategies more easily." While Louis and Emily gave a small nod, Jeremy entered the dining room. "Good morning, Harper Family." Everyone looked over. In an instant, the twins' eyes widened. "Uncle Jeremy!" Their necks were elongated, their voices were shrill. Jeremy smiled slightly. "Hello, Louis, Emily." "Why did you come so early? Do you want to join us for breakfast?" Emily tilted her head and scratched her cheek. "No. I've finished breakfast. I came because I had something to discuss with your father." When Frank caught Jeremy's gaze, the curve of his lips twitched. His brows furrowed to guess whether something had hap

    Frank frowned. His eyes flickered to his wife, looking for inspiration. "Can we move her mother to Jeremy's house?" "I think it’s a good idea. If Jeremy is willing, I can contact Wela directly." Kara turned to her brother-in-law. Jeremy raised his eyebrows along with his shoulders. "Even if you want to change the house into a hospital, that's fine. Grandpa Rowan will definitely be happy if his old residence becomes more useful." Hearing Jeremy's chatter, the curve of Diana's lips faded. It had been a long time since she remembered that house. She thought she had totally forgotten, but now, every corner was clearly depicted in her memory.“If Ava's mother is moved to Uncle's house, why don't we just have a New Year's party there?” Emily suggested, increasing the vibrations in Diana's heart."That's a great idea. Ava will be happy if she knows she can join the party with her mother. Mommy, can you call Wela now, please?" Kara held out her hand. The servant who was on standby quickly

    With teary eyes, Diana looked at Rowan's young face and the little boy who looked like Louis. Their poses were stiff. However, the impression it gave was very touching. "Did he treat you well?" Diana's voice was hoarse. Frank smiled sadly, taking a deep breath. "He taught me very hard. I was lucky to survive." With a twitching chin, Diana nodded. Her eyes flickered with sadness. "He had invited you to the company at such a small age," she stroked the photograph. Frank nodded. "Yes, but I really enjoyed that day. I was happy like a child who was presented with something new. Grandpa explained what expectations and responsibilities he had put on me, but I felt proud and cool." Diana snorted a laugh. "It's no surprise that Louis and Emily have that spirit. They inherited it from you." Frank nodded. Then, carefully, he turned the album page over. In an instant, Diana's eyes fell on the portrait of Rowan and Frank with a horse. Both of them were wearing riding gear. The smile on lit

    "Grandma?" Frank called softly. "Are you okay?" Diana shook her head slowly. Her index finger was half raised. "Is this ... from your grandfather?" Frank nodded. "Grandpa left this album and letter for you. Do you need my help to read it?" Diana's mouth opened without a word. However, her fingers moved closer to the letter. With slow movements, Diana opened the envelope. As soon as the contents of the letter were seen, her eyes closed. Her fingers trembled even more violently. "Let me help you, Grandma." Frank knew Diana wouldn't be able to do it. The old woman nodded. Even though her eyelids were closed, her tears still fell. "Diana," Frank began to read the old-fashioned writing, "I knew you're wondering why I wrote you this letter. Maybe you're happy because I died first. I thought that I would be happy if you died first. But turns out, I was wrong." Frank glanced at Diana briefly. The old woman was still trying to contain her emotions. "I'm not annoyed at all that you rea

    "Good morning, Sir, Madam. How can we help you?" A police officer greeted at the front desk. The man in the bowler hat straightened his head. Seeing his face, the officer widened his eyes. "Mister Victor Moore!" The officers nearby turned around. Their expressions were the same, wide-eyed and agape. In the blink of an eye, the officer with the highest rank approached Victor. "Good morning, Mr. Moore. I apologize deeply for what happened to your daughter. We can't do much because the evidence is strong, and the person who prosecuted her was Frank Harper." There was no change in Victor. His expression was frozen, his gaze sharp. "Where is my daughter?" "In a special room. You and your wife don't need to worry. We handle your daughter very well." "I want to talk to Sophia. We need privacy." The officer gasped. He glanced at the clock then muttered, "Actually, it's not visiting hour." However, noticing the intense gazes, he quickly nodded. "All right, Sir. Let me take you to your

    Sophia sighed in disbelief. Her head movements quickened. "Please don't fire me, Dad. I myself built my company to this. It's not fair if you hand it over to someone else." Victor shook his head. "What people count on is current performance, not the past. Nobody cares about how much you struggled to build it. All they see is how you brought your own company down." Sophia's tears began to well up. Her face was filled with despair. "Please give me a chance, Dad. I can restore my good name and that of my company. I guarantee you, within one month, I can fix everything." "The Moore family may be sweet-mouthed, but we always keep our word, Sophia. You ... just made us doubt your identity." "No, Dad. I'm still the same Sophia. Please, don't send me to Europe. I want to make my company bigger." Victor didn't answer. He looked away then took two steps back. "Mom?" Sophia voiced her last wish. However, her mother showed the same response. While Sophia grimaced in disapproval, someone kno

    "C-counterattack?" The informant stammered.After straightening his back, Victor shifted Ava's picture towards him. "There's no point in attacking someone who is on the verge of death. So, no need to mince words on this one. Get rid of her. Don't worry about her dying mother." The informant was shaking slightly. "O-okay, Sir." Raising his eyebrows, Victor tapped on Finnic. "For this one," he pushed Mrs. Miller's photo forward. "It's not just her son who is impudent, but herself too. Being her in-law is one of the most embarrassing things in my life." "That's right. All this time, I've forced myself to endure being around her. She's too big of a mouth. She deserves to be taught a lesson," Patricia continued sarcastically. The informant frowned. "Okay, I'll arrange it. Then, what about the others?" Victor's finger turned towards the photo of Jeremy and Vivian. However, after a while, he had not yet made a decision. "I heard they were separated for a long time?" "Yes, Sir. Jeremy

    Philip rushed in and grabbed Barbara's hand. Before he could say anything, Barbara was pushing again. After Briony came out, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. “Philip .... Our child has been born.”Even though his head was nodding, Philip blinked in confusion. His mouth was agape, not knowing how to respond. "Yes ...," he sighed after a few moments. Briony's cries helped him regain his senses. "Wow," Philip blinked. He bent down, stroking his wife's hair with mixed feelings. "You're so great, Babe. You can give birth that fast." Barbara smiled proudly. "Our efforts weren't in vain, Phil. I was actually scared earlier. Briony's urge was very strong. But Louis and Emily forbade me to push. I tried to hold it in until finally, I gave in." Philip sighed in amazement and disbelief. Still looking stiff, he kissed Barbara's temple. "You're amazing, Babe. I'm glad you didn't encounter any major difficulties." Philip wiped the tears from her face. "I'm happy too. But where were you? I to

    "Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!" Emily rose with a high arch of her eyebrows. "You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!" Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara's hand, pulling her to turn around. "Come on, Auntie. Let's go back to the car." However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth. "What's wrong, Auntie?" "Call Philip," she muttered softly. "What?" "Call Philip!" The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip. "Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!" "Hey, where are you guys going?" Barbara exclaimed again. The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. "Why did you leave me here alone?" Her voice was shrill. "You told us to call Uncle Philip!" Louis shook his head, not understanding. "Yeah, but don't leave me here." While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. "One person calls him. One more person, hold me!" The twins blinked. Not because they didn't understand, b

    "Hello, Orion," Emily whispered as the tiny baby in the box opened his eyes. Her hand reached out, trying to reach his chubby cheek. From the other side of the box, Louis also looked inside. "Hello, Oscar." "Louis?" Emily scolded with round eyes. "Why do you call him Oscar? This is our first meeting with him. Don't make a bad impression." Louis pursed his lips. "Okay, sorry. I'm used to it. Let me repeat." After clearing his throat, he looked down again. "Hello, Orion. It's me, Louis. I'm your cousin." Emily smiled slightly and nodded. "That's just right." After giving Louis thumbs up, she waved her hand downwards. "And I'm Emily. Nice to meet you, Orion." For a few moments, the two toddlers were busy observing Orion. Philip and Barbara were amused by their comments. "It turns out that Uncle Philip was right. Orion looks like both of his parents. His eyes are like Auntie's, while his nose and mouth are like Uncle's." "His chin also looks like Uncle’s, but his hair looks like

    A nurse tried to calm Ava. However, the woman still shook her head, rejecting all the words directed at her. She was very weak. The pain seemed to knock out all the bones in her body. Her brain could no longer function normally. "No. I have no strength anymore. I can't continue." After taking a heavy breath, Jeremy bowed. The nurse had shifted. Jeremy had more freedom to stroke Ava's hair which was wet with sweat and her face which was flooded with tears. "Ava, can you hear me? Ava?" Their gazes finally met. Jeremy could see the desperation in those brown eyes. "I can't take it anymore, Jeremy. I can't. Let the doctor take it out. I can't take it anymore." Jeremy's chest felt like it had been torn apart. He almost choked with pain. Stroking Ava's shoulder, he shook his head. "No, I know you. You're not someone who never gives up, Ava. You can do it." "But I don't have the energy anymore, Jeremy." "There is. There definitely is." Jeremy grabbed Ava's shaking fingers. "This is f

    "Look at this, Brandon." Louis placed a stack of photo paper on the table. Then, he showed them one by one to his friend. "This is a picture of Russell crying. This is a picture of him laughing. And this is a picture of Russell being angry." "Can babies get angry? Isn't he still too young to understand anything?" Brandon shook his head faintly. Louis shrugged. "I don't know about that. But when Russell sees something he doesn't like, his hands keep flapping and his mouth makes sounds ...." Louis imitated a baby's moan which made the librarian glance. "Russell also has sharp eyes, Brandon. If he feels annoyed by us, he will glare while furrowing his eyebrows." Emily touched the base of her eyebrows, checking to see if they were the same shape as Russell's eyebrows in the picture. Brandon smiled at Emily's expression. "I think he must be really cute when he's angry." "Yes!" Emily nodded quickly. "He's always cute, all the time. Louis, show him a picture of Russell in the shower."

    "Oh, look at Russell, Louis. Isn't he very handsome? He's clean and smells good." Emily put her nose closer to Russell's face. When she managed to kiss that very soft cheek, she giggled holding back her laughter. She didn't want to disturb Kara who was sleeping in Frank's arms. "Yes, he is very handsome. He looks like me. Isn't that right, Grandma?" Louis raised his gaze towards the woman holding Russell. Susan smiled amusedly. "Yes, he looks like you. Only his nose is a little sharper." Louis' lips immediately pursed. His forefinger pointed at his own nose. "How sharp do you want Russell's nose to be? My nose is already very sharp." Susan chuckled at Louis' answer. "I’m just joking, Louis. It doesn't matter whose nose is sharper. What's important is that you're both healthy." Louis nodded in agreement. His hands then rose to touch the baby's feet. "Grandma, is Russell heavy?" Susan raised her eyebrows. "Do you want to carry him?" Louis glanced at Emily. "How about you try fir

    "Hello, Good Boy," Kara held Russell carefully, as if the little creature was a very fragile pearl. Tears could not stop running down her face. After kissing the baby who was covered in a towel, Kara whispered again, "This is Mommy, Russell. I'm happy that I can finally hug you like this." While biting his lips, Frank also bowed. He stroked the tiny back then kissed his head. "And this is Daddy, Russell. Daddy is also happy that you are finally here." Still with a wide smile and red eyes, Frank looked at Kara gently. Before the pool of emotion dripped again, he quickly kissed her forehead. Kara closed her eyes accepting the warmth. "Thank you for giving birth to our son, Queen Bee," Frank whispered hoarsely. Kara smiled wider and nodded faintly. "Thank you for accompanying me here." "That's what I should have done a long time ago." Frank stroked her cheek before kissing her again. "Daddy, we want to see Russell too! Can we come closer?" Emily asked, jumping a little on the chai

    Kara was sitting on the bed. Her head rested on the broad shoulder next to her. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath."Is there any news from the Twins?" she asked quietly. Frank shook his head. His hands kept to massage Kara's fingers. "You don't need to worry about them, Queen Bee. They are independent and intelligent children. They will understand that you have to give birth soon. Let's celebrate their birthday after Russell is born, hmm?" After a short nod, Kara turned her head further. "Are you crying?" Frank's eyebrows pulled together. Moving his head away so that it would be easier to see her, he shook his head. "Why do you think I'm crying?" "Your voice is shaky, Frank." Pursing his lips, Frank took a deep breath. "I'm not crying." "Then why are your eyes red and watery?" Frank blinked firmly. "I'm not crying," he repeated with more emphasis. Still out of breath, Kara let out a laugh. Her head tilted slightly, waiting for his tears to fall. "Are you sure?"

I hope you live a long and healthy life," the blonde boy said, occasionally glancing at Emily. "Thank you, Brandon. Did you come alone?" Brandon nodded. "Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here." After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. "Happy birthday too, Emily. You're so beautiful tonight." Emily shook Brandon's hand with a sweet smile. "Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you." Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his chest. "Thank you, Emily. I deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. I want to look cool at this event." "Your mom has a good sense of fashion," Emily nodded before glancing to the side.
