The next day, Anthony was waiting for Lena at the airport on time. He also knew how to be romantic and carried a bouquet of fresh flowers in his arms. He stood at the airport arrival gate dressed in a casual suit, looking tall, well-built, and handsome.His appearance also caught the attention of many young women.Anthony couldn't contain his excitement as soon as Lena emerged with her luggage. He quickly made his way through the crowd and headed directly toward her.Even from a distance, Lena was able to spot him.She had just stopped when Anthony quickly walked over, pulled her into an embrace, and whispered cheesy words in her ear. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and it feels like forever. Honey, I really miss you."Lena felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly pushed him away. "There are so many people watching. Aren't you embarrassed?"Anthony laughed and said, "Why should I be embarrassed about hugging my girlfriend?"He handed her a bouquet and then pulled over her luggag
"I agreed to the three years, and that's what I'll stick to. I won't shorten the duration," Lena said.She didn't really have any strong feelings for Anthony for now. He would only push her further away if he continued to pressure her.Anthony noticed Lena's attitude was becoming colder, so he immediately stopped talking. He was worried about accidentally making her upset.Lena decided to take the initiative to restart the conversation. "I heard that Edna is at Alice Manor?"Upon seeing Anthony's pitiful expression, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for him.Anthony responded with a hum, saying, "Once we've eaten, I'll take you straight to Alice Manor.""Aren't you going to meet up with Margot and the others?" Lena asked.Anthony shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you there was a surprise? The surprise is at Alice Manor."At the mention of a surprise, Lena felt a surge of curiosity. She had no idea what Anthony was up to or what he was hiding.But she was wor
Anthony held Lena by the hand and stood in front of Royce, giving him a look signaling to stay quiet.Of course, at that point, Royce didn't yet know that Lena was his sister.Watching Anthony's actions, he lay there utterly confused, unsure of what Anthony was planning to do.Anthony gently loosened the tie from Lena's face, deliberately blocking her view of Royce, and smiled as he said, "Guess what I'm going to show you."Lena hadn't spotted Royce yet, so she quickly assessed her surroundings.It looked like there were many bottles and jars around, and a little further away, there were some people wearing blue sterile suits. It definitely seems like a place where research was being conducted.She had no idea what Anthony was up to and frowned as she asked, "What? Is this the surprise you were talking about?""Look who it is."Anthony didn't keep her in suspense any longer and stepped aside.In the next moment, Lena's gaze unintentionally fell on Royce lying on the bed in fro
Was it really his sister, Yelena, who was declared dead just two months after she was born?Royce couldn't quite believe it as he looked at Anthony. He was so overwhelmed with emotion that his voice became hoarse. "Are you kidding me? My little sister died when she was just two months old. How can she be…""I'm not joking with you. Otherwise, why would I bring her to meet you, and why would I save you?"Lena kneeled by the bedside, holding Royce's hand. She was unable to stop crying. "Royce, I really am Yelena. Anthony didn't lie to you. I truly am your sister."She definitely felt incredibly excited and happy, but she just couldn't control herself, and her tears kept flowing uncontrollably.At that moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings. The feeling of regaining something that was lost gave her the feeling it was more precious than anything she could ever own now.Royce also couldn't hold back as tears streamed down his face.Royce believed what Anthony said after
After Lena responded to Anthony, she moved out of his embrace and looked at Royce, who was on the bed."Royce, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong or uncomfortable with your body?" she asked.She reached out to grasp Royce's wrist to check his pulse and assess his condition.Royce watched Lena's actions with his eyes still reddened. "Knowing that you're still alive, my feelings right now are just like yours—I'm very excited."Yelena, is Pamela doing well at home?"Lena finished checking his pulse and looked at Royce. She nodded as she barely held back her overflowing tears."Yes, Pamela is doing well. Once you recover, I'll take you home. She'll be really happy to know you're still alive.""Alright, you go ahead and leave with Anthony. I want to take a rest."Although Royce had woken up, his physical condition still wasn't the best. He felt a bit exhausted, probably due to his overly intense emotions at the moment, and he wanted to take a nap.Lena could also tell tha
"Because you gave me such a wonderful surprise, I'll try not to argue with you anymore in the future," Lena promised.Anthony gazed intently at Lena, gently raising his hand to touch her neck and pressing his lips together."So, can I kiss you now?" he asked.Lena remained silent, but her gaze fixed on his lips.It had been a long time since Anthony had kissed someone, and he was starting to feel out of practice. He looked at Lena's lips and slowly leaned in to kiss her.Just as the two were about to kiss, they suddenly heard Zyla's youthful voice shouting from a distance, "Hehe! Kissing will lead to having a baby, which means miss is going to have a baby."When she heard that, Lena instinctively avoided Anthony and turned around. The moment she saw Zyla, she froze.Looking at Anthony again, she asked incredulously, "W-Why is she here too?"Anthony explained, "The poison that Zyla was exposed to is the same as your brother's. After I saved her, she became mentally impaired afte
Calvin received a call from Anthony, who told him about the situation involving Royce and Zyla. Calvin held his phone and was in a daze for a long time, unable to react.He could hardly believe it."Are you serious, Anthony? You rescued Royce and Zyla and brought them to Alice Manor?" Calvin asked.Anthony replied, "Yes. I called Lena over so she could meet Royce .""But is this something you did on your own initiative?"Calvin was shocked. Royce was alive? Did Anthony secretly save both him and Zyla without telling anyone? Why did this matter sound so mysterious to him?Even after all these months, Anthony never mentioned it to them."I did it all by myself. Isn't there a laboratory underneath Alice Manor? I've been hiding them in that lab all along."Calvin, Lena was really happy to see Royce. Can we let go of the past issues with Royce for my sake?"Calvin still found it unbelievable."Does Curtis and Margot know about this?" Calvin asked."I confessed to both of them pre
Calvin didn't really care about what he currently possessed. He was even thinking about moving back to Amberville with Natalie and their children after they were born.Natalie was surprised. "Anthony wants to use the military seal as a betrothal gift to marry Lena?""Yeah, and I've agreed to it. Now we're just waiting for Lena to say yes to Anthony's proposal."Calvin looked at Natalie, eager to understand what she thought about the situation.In Natalie's heart, what truly mattered to her wasn't power or status.She held Calvin's hand and smiled. "I respect your thoughts and choices. If Anthony believes that giving the military seal to the royal family would make it easier for him to marry Lena with peace of mind, then he should do so."Let's leave it to them since we'll all be one family in the future. It shouldn't really matter who's in charge, right?Calvin knew that Natalie had always been understanding and empathetic. He hugged her and said in a deep voice, "Yes, that's wh
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
