Anthony had always felt that Branden had a special kind of affection for Lena.This made him jealous and unwilling to allow Lena to be with him.During his time on the mountain, he came to completely understand Branden as a person.Branden truly dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation, possessing an open mind and remaining untouched by worldly emotions.With his head lowered, Anthony responded, "Okay."If everything was truly as Branden said, then Anthony would definitely marry Lena in a grand and proper ceremony.Knowing that Lena would be coming up the mountain tonight, Anthony quickly ate his meal and went to the kitchen specifically to prepare some food for her.Before the sun had set, Solace was already waiting with Romulus at the entrance to the mountain's path.When Lena saw them from a distance, she happily waved and called out, "Solace."Hearing Lena's shout, Solace, who was still riding on Romulus, quickly signaled to Romulus. "Hurry, Lena is back. Let's
Jace quickly nodded with a smile. "Sure. But, Lena, you should hurry and go eat your food. Someone has already prepared the dishes for you."The children who lived in the mountains for years usually experienced simple joys and rough times. As such, one piece of candy could make them very happy.After seeing Jace carrying Lena's bag and leaving, the junior disciples quickly waved to Lena and then left together while carrying Solace.Lena naturally knew who it was that the junior disciples were talking about.It definitely wouldn't be Branden. Because the dishes Branden made tasted just as bad as hers.However, she didn't want to go see that person right away.She wanted to see Branden. She headed to Serenity Hall in search of him.Branden had anticipated that Lena would come looking for him, so he had already locked the door to Serenity Hall in advance.When Lena rushed over and tried to push the door open, it wouldn't budge. She frowned and shouted to the inside, "Master, are y
"Hmm? Is he in Serenity Hall? No one answered when I knocked on the door earlier," Lena mused.She had also called out a few times just now. If Branden were there, why didn't he respond to her? Or maybe he went to the bathroom and hadn't heard her?Lena decided she would go take a look after she was done eating."Maybe you just happened to go when he wasn't there."Anthony, who was still curious about the previous question, looked at Lena and said, "You tell me. Why would you say it's my sister-in-law's brother? As far as I know, the Nelsons don't have any older brothers from the Koronian side.""It's not your elder sister-in-law. It's your younger sister-in-law."Lena continued eating her meal intently.Her words left Anthony even more puzzled after hearing it."Since when do I have a second sister-in-law?" he asked."It's Daniel's new wife," Lena said casually.Lena felt that today's dishes tasted really delicious; the more she ate, the harder it was to stop eating.Howeve
"Could you please let go of me first? I have some questions I need to ask my master," Lena said.Anthony suddenly realized something was wrong. After letting go of Lena, he stared at her unhappy expression. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?""It's nothing. I'm going to find my master."Lena still wanted to leave.However, Anthony didn't want her to leave. He was feeling very happy right now and wanted to spend some quality time alone with her.He held her hand and didn't want to let go.Lena hesitated and saw that Anthony wasn't letting go, so she said, "Let me go. I can't share with your happiness."Anthony felt a sharp pain in his chest. He unconsciously let go as he didn't want to force Lena."Okay, you go find Branden, and I'll go pack up," Anthony said.He would pack his things and find time to descend the mountain to visit Daniel at home.He promised Branden that he would marry Lena with a grand celebration once he took her back.
Perhaps Branden was tired of the shouting at the door, but his slightly worn voice drifted through the crack in the door."I'm in seclusion. Don't cause any trouble, and just leave quickly."Lena was taken aback and no longer dared to make any loud noises again. But she still wasn't willing to give up and spoke through the crack in the door. "Could you let me meet you just once?""Why do you want to see me? If you have something to say, you can say it now."Lena couldn't understand why Branden refused to see her, but she did have some questions in mind, so she quickly asked,"What did you mean when you mentioned 'persevering until the light at the end of the tunnel'? Did you already know that my brother didn't kill the people from the Morris family?"Branden said, "Anthony will provide you with the answer to the first question."As for the second question, your brother indeed had the intention to kill and even took action, but the people from the Morris family narrowly escaped w
It turned out that it was Branden who wanted Lena to leave the mountain, but because she was unwilling to do so, the situation ended up like this.Back at the door of Lena's room, Anthony spoke in a deep voice to Lena. "Lena, if you truly wish to stay on the mountain with your master, then I will stay with you. We can come down together whenever you want to.He originally planned to quickly head home to check on Daniel. But if Lena wasn't willing to leave now, then he would stay and wait a bit longer with her.Inside the room, Lena remembered what Branden had told her. He told her not to blame anyone and to be grateful for Anthony's compassion.Although she still didn't understand what Branden meant by Anthony's compassion, she was certain that Branden's words had to be true.She didn't want to leave Anthony standing alone at the door, especially since it got chilly in the mountains at night, and she didn't want him to catch a cold.She got out of bed and went to open the door.
Curtis and Margot returned to Amberville and settled into their regular routines.During the day, Curtis went to work at the company, while Margot stayed at home to take care of Louis. She occasionally took some time to check on her pizzeria business.She also often kept in touch with Allison to keep up with news about her, Ryan, and Edna.Allison said that Edna was doing well and told them not to worry.Margot asked Allison to wait until Ryan recovered before taking him and Edna to Amberville for a while. Allison agreed.That afternoon, after feeding Louis, she thought about how they had been back for a few days. Laura kept saying she was too busy with training to come back.Worried that Laura might not be doing well alone, Margot couldn't help herself and drove to where she was living to check on her.Laura had scored within the national top 100 scholars before taking a break from university to join girl group training.The hundred girls who were selected all gathered at the
Tommy gently explained to Laura as he looked at her, "I've been with Yvette Simms way before she joined the show. We just never made it public. Have I been taking care of her too much? Is that why it was so obvious to you?"But since you've figured it out, please don't tell anyone else. If this gets out, it could have a negative impact on her."Tommy was simply being very considerate toward Yvette's feelings. He was completely oblivious to how his words were like sharp needles that pierced deeply into Laura's heart.Laura was very surprised to find out that Tommy actually had a girlfriend.It was also the same person who constantly looked down at her and had openly admitted to having an affair with their mentor.The man she admired ended up being with the person she disliked the most.They actually turned out to be a couple…Laura couldn't accept the reality of it and found it hard to contain the pang of bitterness she felt in her chest. She got up without saying a word as her e
