When Lucius arrived home, he found several desserts arranged neatly on the table.Violet sat there, chin in hand, staring blankly at them.Quietly approaching, he asked, "What's wrong? You have a problem with these desserts?"Violet turned to him as he approached.Leaning in, he slipped his hands un
"I..." Astrid seemed to be enveloped in a thick layer of an invisible veil, her expression frozen.But it was Patrick who chose to end the conversation. He said, "It's in the past. Let's leave it there."Violet was all grown up now. He saw no point in further deceiving himself."Thank you for the de
After a lengthy silence, Belle's uneasy voice broke the silence. "Are you going to tell him... about everything?"The thought of those secrets being revealed filled her with dread.Deeply worried about Patrick, Astrid wasn't interested in arguing with Belle. She responded calmly, "Whether I tell him
"I know. You've always been wise and careful. I admire your approach; you have my support," Patrick responded with a hint of admiration in his eyes."You're right. Matters of the heart shouldn't be rushed or taken lightly. Both parties need to be sure before tying the knot. I just didn't expect Luci
Ella pointed out, "I think this one is great."The gown was undoubtedly the creation of a top-tier designer. It looked stunning on Ella.Violet's eyes sparkled with admiration as she nodded in agreement.Ella leaned in closer to whisper in Violet's ear, "This dress is incredibly expensive. We should

"Is the child Lucius's?""Of course."Agatha didn't know how she managed to leave the building; she only felt a chill running through her body. When she said those words, she had no idea Violet was pregnant. What had she been trying to accomplish with her actions? Even she couldn't figure it out.
When they hopped into the car, it took Violet a while to compose herself. She gently pulled away from Oliver's grasp and said, "I'm okay now. Let me go.""How are you okay? I saw you in that accident; I can't just ignore it," Oliver retorted, his tone softening despite his frustration. He didn't wa
She couldn’t put aside her own feelings, but she had to think about the baby's health.Oliver managed a strained smile. He couldn't express what he wanted to say, so he simply helped her out of the hospital.Back at home, Violet ushered him toward the door, saying, "I'm back home now. You should go
"Master Lucius," whispered the assistant as he leaned in close to Lucius's ear.His voice was barely audible to anyone else, but Sarah watched as Lucius clenched his glass so tightly that it seemed like it might shatter.Lucius didn't say a word. After the assistant left, everything returned to norm
However, Sarah didn't seem in a hurry to leave. She maintained her smile and offered, "Is there something you need from Lucius? I can pass on the message to you."Her seemingly polite offer was clearly a jab at Violet.Violet's expression turned cold. She retorted, "Thank you, Ms. Meyer. But Lucius
Violet cried in Patrick's embrace, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him what had happened.Patrick didn’t push her, worried that she might feel worse. He left after making her a promise to reach out if she needed anything.Violet agreed, but she knew she should rely on Patrick less.After fini
The glass he held shattered due to his rage.Sarah leisurely sipped her wine, her eyes carrying a profound meaning. Lucius used her to provoke Violet, which was despicable, but she found solace in that woman's words.Swoosh! Lucius stood up abruptly."Master Lucius," a subordinate rushed into the ro
"Dad, don't worry. I'm okay," Violet reassured Patrick with a faint smile.Patrick noticed her weak smile. He wanted to ask more, but Violet quickly cut off the conversation, saying she had work to do."Okay." Patrick nodded reluctantly, deciding not to pry further. "Astrid mentioned you haven't bee
