When Daniel heard the name "Zyla", he paused in his tracks and suddenly turned around.When he saw a familiar figure come into view, he was taken aback. He stared at that person in a daze, hardly able to believe his eyes.Was he seeing things, or was his vision playing tricks on him?It couldn't be her. How could it possibly be her? Everyone said she was gone.He even visited her graveyard. So it definitely wasn't her.Edna ignored Daniel's reaction. Instead, she looked at Zyla and reached out to pull her over, saying, "I'll stay with you while you sleep. Let's go back to the room.""Okay. Edna will stay with me while I sleep. I really love you, Edna." Zyla chuckled and obediently followed Edna into the room.The familiar voice lingered around Daniel's ears, refusing to fade away. He stood there frozen and in disbelief. He was unable to react for quite a while. His mind felt completely blank.Anthony ran upstairs and saw Daniel standing there in a daze. He walked over and asked
Daniel didn't understand what was going on with Zyla. Why didn't she recognize him anymore?Anthony followed along and quickly apologized to Edna, saying, "Sorry, Edna. We were a bit overeager. Zyla is our sister, and that's why my brother and I came to visit her. Please don't mind us."Edna was surprised and asked, "Is Zyla your sister? Isn't your sister Margot?"Anthony said, "It's a long story, but please keep it confidential for us. I'll take Daniel and leave for now. You all get some rest."As he spoke, he hurriedly reached out to grab Daniel."Let's go, Daniel. Let's not disturb their rest," Anthony said.After confirming that Zyla was alive and the one he recognized, Daniel finally left with Anthony.As he stepped out of the room, he asked, "Why has Zyla changed like that? Why doesn't she recognize us?"Anthony explained, "The poison she ingested was extremely potent, and saving her life was no easy task. However, after regaining consciousness, her mental state is now eq
"I don't want to! I just want to be with Mom," Zyla said. She clung to Rosa's clothes tightly. Her face scrunched up as big tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mom, please don't leave Zyla. Don't…"Rosa looked at her and couldn't help but feel her heart ache slightly. She looked at Edna.Edna looked at Daniel and asked, "Isn't she your sister? Pull her away."Daniel suddenly remembered Anthony saying that Zyla had the intelligence of a three-year-old child.Although it was unclear why Zyla thought of Rosa as her own mom, it seemed like she just wanted to be with them for now.To fulfill her wish, Daniel suggested, "Why don't you all stay here?""Do you think that's possible?"Edna didn't want to stay, so she persisted in heading toward the door.Daniel stepped forward to stop her. "Edna, I know you're upset with me, but if you leave, I won't be able to explain it to Margot. Wasn't it Margot who arranged for you to stay here?"Edna didn't make things difficult for him, so she said,
"Daniel, why are you still standing there? Come over and bring your mother-in-law back in," Anthony instructed.Daniel was still quite passive about trying to stop them from leaving.But when he thought about how Zyla needed them as a family, he gathered his courage and came over, saying softly, "Edna, please stay."Edna realized that there was no way she could leave.She had no choice but to go back into the house and look for another opportunity to leave instead.Anthony quickly took Rosa's luggage and handed it to Daniel, glaring at him. "Bring Ms. Johnson back and take good care of them. If anything happens to them, there will be serious consequences between you and me."He knew that even though Daniel had feelings for Zyla, they weren't meant to be together in this life. Because Zyla would never like Daniel, and Daniel would never force Zyla to reciprocate his feelings.So, the perfect match for Daniel had to be Edna.After seeing them enter the house, Anthony instructed t
Margot felt like Anthony was talking about something fantastical and impossible. She felt really confused and had trouble processing everything immediately.Looking at Curtis, she asked, "Can you understand what Anthony is saying?"Curtis reached out and shook Margot's hand, nodding. "I understood."Margot asked again, "Do you believe it?"Curtis looked at Anthony and said, "He doesn't look like he's joking with us."Even though Curtis found it hard to believe, it didn't seem like Anthony was lying when he looked at his current state.There was no way he would come over and tell them that Royce and Zyla were still alive without any reason.He wouldn't have made a special trip back to Amberville just to clarify things with them if it were untrue."I don't believe it," Margot said. She seemed a bit dazed as she glanced over at Anthony."Anthony, I can't believe it. Royce ingested the poison right in front of me. He vomited so much blood after he was poisoned. And although I didn
"However, I feel like Edna still wants to leave, so another reason I came over is because I want you to try to persuade her to stay. I'll do my best to help Daniel overcome his aversion as soon as possible," Anthony said.Margot was surprised and asked, "Is Daniel also at Alice Manor?""Yes."Margot was speechless. Did that mean he met Edna? But Edna didn't want to meet Daniel at all.What should they do now?"It's very simple to keep Edna here," Curtis suddenly said. He looked at Anthony. "Edna is pregnant. Go back and tell Daniel to treat her well. Edna is likely willing to stay for the child's sake and live a good life with him."He thought that Edna being pregnant was something that should be told to Daniel as soon as possible.Even if Daniel wasn't that dependable, he would still take responsibility for his child, right? As someone in his 30s, he naturally would have the desire to become a father and have a child."What did you say?" Anthony asked, shocked.Anthony looked
"If not, Margot won't forgive you, and none of us will forgive you either." Anthony said mysteriously.Turning to look at Anthony, Daniel had a gloomy expression. "Haven't I made myself clear enough? There's no way anything will happen between me and Edna."You need to make it work with her no matter what.""Why?""Because…"While staring at Daniel, Anthony hinted indirectly, "I'm going to be an uncle."Daniel didn't understand what Anthony was trying to imply. "What does you being an uncle have to do with me and Edna?""It matters because your child is in Edna's belly. If Edna has the child, wouldn't they have to call me uncle?"His statement was clear enough, right?Suddenly, the implications clicked in Daniel's mind. He was shocked. He stared intently at Anthony and was hardly able to believe it. "Are you joking with me?"Anthony huffed. "Do I look like I'm joking? Curtis told me himself, and Margot also confirmed it."Daniel was at a loss for words. Was Edna pregnant wit
When Edna saw Daniel come in with a fruit platter, she sat there with a heart full of sadness, gazing at him. She wasn't not sure if he brought the fruit for himself or if it was meant for Zyla.Zyla, upon seeing there was food, quickly got up and went over to get some.She smiled as she picked a few cherries from the tray Daniel was holding and handed them to Edna. "Eat up, Edna."Edna shook her head and said, "You eat. I'm not hungry."Daniel placed the tray in front of Edna and crouched down beside her, saying, "I prepared this especially for you. Enjoy it."Edna looked at him and felt an inexplicable ache in her heart.She said, "I don't need it. You also don't have to force yourself to be nice to me. We're no longer in a relationship, and if we meet again, we'll just be strangers."She would have left if she could. She really didn't want to stay here any longer.She kept reminding herself not to get emotional or to weaken her resolve. Daniel was unlikely to ever like her o
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
