Upon returning to Goderich, Kenelm repeatedly wondered why their summer vacation trip was so short. I could only answer him that my health was not good and promised to take him on a trip when he was older. He seems to be very regretful, but thinking of me, he doesn't complain anymore and obediently stays at home.A week has passed since I met Dominic, and I still haven't found myself."Careful!"Garrick grabbed my wrist, but it was too late. The knife had accidentally grazed my finger causing it to bleed."Um..."I felt a sharp pain from my finger and hurriedly brought it to my mouth to stop the bleeding. Garrick hurriedly got some damage potion and white bandages to give me first aid."Let me do it myself. It's just a small wound." I say."Why are you so careless?" Garrick ignored my words and continued to help me bandage the tear carefully. "I've seen her like this these days. Whether it's watering the plants in the garden, watching a movie with Kenelm or like when you're just slici
The plane was about to land, Vivian was still staring at the electronic screen, occasionally shaking her legs to show her impatience."What's wrong?" Dominic put down the newspaper and looked at her."Ah, nothing. I'm texting my friend.""The girl who knits for you? Well, I still don't know her name."Vivian looked up slightly to look at Dominic, she pursed her lips and watched his expression. Looking at his calm expression, his eyes were still focused on the newspaper, but if she looked carefully, she would find out that he had not turned the paper over until now."Ah, you can call her Ms. Ambar.""Ambar? Is that her mother's last name?" Dominic turned to look at Vivian, eyes filled with anticipation."I'm not sure, but apparently not."Dominic mused for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and asked Vivian about Ms. Ambar with her son. Vivian doesn't reveal too much, or maybe it's because she doesn't know much about Ms. Ambar and Kenelm. Coincidentally, Kenelm's surname is Vinc
At night, as soon as I get home, I have to hastily remove the bandages on my face and wash my face with cold water. My face is red from being sealed for too long and many red spots cause itching. Originally, my facial skin was quite good and rarely had any dermatological problems, but it was because I had to wear makeup for so long that everything was so bad."Tomorrow we don't need to wear elaborate and complicated makeup. I think you and I just need to wear masks."I completely agree with Garrick. The fact that we dress up so carefully actually makes us a lot more uncomfortable and inconvenient for ourselves. Just because we were worried Dominic might recognize us, we had to prepare a lot of things."Did they say they'll see us tomorrow?""No. Lucky for that. They should be spending time together, maybe when they need us they'll get in touch." I didn't realize there was a hint of sadness in my voice, though I thought I hid it well.Garrick looked at me, let out a very light sigh the
When I woke up, my throat was sore and my mind was hazy. My whole body feels like I've run ten kilometers. Garrick sat next to me, and after seeing me awake he let out a sigh of relief."You scared the crap out of me. Luckily you're okay, if something happens to you, I'm not sure I can keep my composure.""I'm fine now. It was an unexpected situation, and I didn't expect things to be so dangerous." My voice was hoarse as if I was sick, it was because I drank too much water and choked, causing my stomach to swell and my throat to hurt.I didn't know how to swim, but unexpectedly I dared to jump into the bottomless deep river to save another person. I am not that brave, I love my life very much. But when I had to choose between leaving Vivian struggling in the water and me risking my life to save her, I didn't hesitate to choose the first option."Because of that noble act of yours, you almost revealed your true identity.""What's wrong?" I am surprised."Dominic jumped into the river t
Garrick and I rushed to the hotel and found the front desk. I tried calling that number before but it didn't work. I could guess that the person who was staying with my son was Dominic, because that number was the one I had memorized four years ago. That's Dominic's phone number.I called Vivian, but she hung up.It wasn't until they got to the hotel that we knew they had already left."Aren't they supposed to leave tomorrow morning?" I worriedly asked Garrick."As far as I know, they are. But all of a sudden they're leaving in such a hurry, even taking Kenelm away, I think Dominic figured something out."My whole body trembled with fear. I can't imagine Kenlem being held captive by Dominic. Just now, Dominic sent me a picture of Kenelm sleeping soundly. That makes me can rest assured that my son is okay. But that doesn't guarantee my son's future is safe.What a dangerous man Dominic is, I have experienced it myself, so I understand very well. Once he is angry his rage is terrible. H
She awoke from a long dream and saw light from the window shining into the room. Ethan was waiting to take her to Dominic's mansion. In the four years of knowing each other, this was the first time she had set foot in his mansion. It is said that it is the place where he and his late fiancée used to live together. That must be why he didn't allow anyone to go there, not even Vivian.Even so, coming to Dominic's mansion for the first time did not make Vivian happy, she just had a bad premonition.She awoke from a long dream and saw light from the window shining into the room.

"Miss, please wait a moment. We need..."The servants hurriedly ran after me. As soon as the gate of the villa opened, I rushed inside, ignoring the man who was leisurely reading the newspaper and drinking tea. I was so familiar with every nook and cranny of this mansion, that I rushed upstairs and opened the doors of each room.The servants seemed to be about to run up after them, but they were stopped by Dominic's warning gaze, so they all fell silent and left."Kenelm, Kenelm... Can you hear me?" I called out loudly hoping my son could hear. But disappointingly, it doesn't seem like he's here.I did not expect Dominic to be so brazen and treacherous that he locked my son in another place.With anger and impatience, I went down to the living room and gave Dominic an unfriendly look."Where's my son?" "..." Dominic leisurely folded the newspaper and set his teacup down on the table before looking up at me. "When we meet again, should you at least say hello to me?""Are you in the m
During dinner, the atmosphere between the three of us was very harmonious, not awkward with each other at all. There were even times when I thought, if Dominic and I didn't fight, would we be such a happy family?"Do you have more lamb chops?" Dominic cut a piece of lamb chops and put it on a plate for me.I tried to refuse because it's been a long time since we've had such caring and romantic acts, especially when the problem between us still exists. But I noticed that Kenelm was looking at me, so I continued to pretend like Dominic and I were good friends. I took that lamb chop and ate it well.All that night, Dominic was relaxed and chatty with Kenelm, and he would look at me from time to time and see if I needed anything more.Honestly, I couldn't guess what he was thinking, the more friendly and cheerful he was, the more worried I became. I wouldn't be surprised if he just showed his true nature as a jealous and possessive man.After dinner, Kenelm took the boxes of toys and went
