Upon arriving at the penthouse, Brian brought Anna to the room directly after asking Mary to get her warm tea. After drinking the tea, she feels better.“Better?” Brian asked her as he climbed the bed.
In the car on the way to the airport.“We will go to SF first then we will directly depart to NY?” Smith asked Brian“Yes. That’s better!” Brian gave him a short answer. He then turned to Anna, “Honey, you go for check up alone this time, is that okay?”“Why do you need to go to NY?” Anna asked him curiouslyBrian gave a hint to Smith and Smith gave Anna his iPad. She saw an article headline, ‘Brian Bolton and Rosie Hart Engagement Announcement: Wedding Date to be Determined’. She quickly read the article which said to invite the press and media to come to the press interview at Baccarat Hotel.“So, what will you do?” Anna turned to Brian
Brian went back to the hotel, found Anna was resting with the TV on.“You saw the press conference?” He said it while climbed the bed“I did” She moved her body closer to him, giving him a hug"You have no idea, when I was there I only thought about making love to my wife” He teased her, landed a soft kiss on her lipsAnna smiled hearing his flirty words, she didn’t hold back, “Your wife is waiting for that.”His eyes turned full of desire, he claimed her mouth, kissing her passionately, while his hand travelled to her bottom. It didn’t take long for Brian to take off Anna’s panty and he started to tease her down there.
In the car on the way back to the hotel, Brian stays silent and Anna doesn’t dare to talk about what just happened. “Can we leave for SF in the afternoon?” Brian asked Smith“I will tell Lucas Mr Bolton” Smith answered shortly“Do you want to go shopping before leaving?” Brian turned to Anna“No. But how about we walk around the park and sit there. It is a good weather too,” Anna said as she smile widely“Okay! Let’s have lunch and go for a walk after it,” Brian squeezed her hand“Thank you honey!”
A week had passed and Smith notified Damian about the offer for a higher position in the London branch. Smith saw Damian was hesitant to take it, then Smith added that the position is crucial for the company, Brian personally hoped Damian could help him with the matter there in the UK and Europe. It gave different pressure to Damian when he knew that Brian asked him. Before lunch, Damian texted Anna, ‘Lunch together? There’s something I want to talk about!’Anna quickly gave a ‘yes’ reply to him. In the past week, Anna had a lunch box with her, Mary made it for her but today, she forgot to take it because she was in a hurry, leaving the penthouse with Daniel.Brian was in the lobby, waiting for Smith, both of them having business lunch with a new investor, while he saw Anna walking out with Damian.

5 years later“Mom, why should we move to London? I like it here!,” Benjamin protested“We already talked about this Ben! Don’t bring any drama!” Anna snapped“You will meet Uncle Damian there, you should be happy. Also if we’re there, it is easier for Uncle Daniel to visit us. Don’t you miss him?” Anna added“Of course I miss him. So, if we are in London, we will visit the States?” Benjamin looked at Anna’s face with full of hope“NO!” Anna answered it shortlyBenjamin rolled his eyes and said, “Mom, I am a big boy now, when you will tell me what happened with the States and dad?

He just want to spend time alone this time,” Smith explained“Smith! Come on! This is for Anna and Ben. She forgives him and Ben misses his daddy. I just tried to help them. Brian will be happy too.”
The kiss…….Anna and Fai ended it quickly. Both of them went silent, busy with their own thoughts. Fai noticed Anna looking conflicted. He quickly said, “It's already late, I think it is better for me to leave!”Anna was taken aback, but she responded to him shortly, “I see!” She got up and walked him to the door.Fai smiled at her and quickly left.

She noticed that his fever had gone.“How do you feel?” She asked“I feel better mommy!”“But……”“Tell me!” Anna asked again“I am hungry mommy!”Anna smiled, hearing about it. “Tell mommy, what do you want to eat?”
A month has passed since Anna returned to London.Damian wasn’t feeling well today and he decided to work from home. He has a meeting with the SF and NY offices and it surprised him that Brian and Smith were there. Damian noticed that Brian looked colder than before. During the meeting, suddenly Ben came to his room, interrupting.“Uncle Damian, could you help me with my iPad?” Ben said it loudly as he walked toward Damian who was on a web meeting.Brian who was speaking at the meeting, suddenly went silent. It has been a while, he hasn’t seen his son and suddenly he saw Ben through the webcam. His eyes stared blankly to the camera as he saw his son around Damian embrace. It was only the last seconds before Anna quickly went into Damian’s room.
