Talia felt like Ellora was losing her mind for saying that she had a sugar daddy in front of Chyler. Did Ellora honestly believe Chyler would love her enough not to mind this, or did she not like Chyler at all?"Don't you know?" Ellora countered.Talia was confused. What was she supposed to know?Was having someone supporting her financially something to boast about?"Cynthia Yates is her sugar daddy. A person you and your husband combined can't even contend with," Chyler admitted his defeat as she overshadowed him in everything related to Ellora.Originally, Cynthia was not called that. It happened by chance when Cynthia and Ellora were shopping together, and the paparazzi caught them. Coincidentally, Ellora was driving the supercar that Cynthia had gifted her that day, a car with strict eligibility requirements. So when it hit the trending topics, everyone assumed Ellora was dating a wealthy man. However, as people dug deeper, they discovered that Cynthia was the one who bro
Moreover, Ellora would not accept Talia's apology."Do you remember when my parents came to see you? Julie overheard the conversation, and rumors started spreading at her school," Chyler began, deciding to share the full story with her. "What kind of rumors?" Ellora was concerned, especially since it was about Juliette.Chyler scratched his face, unable to directly utter those harsh words. "They said Julie was...""What?" Ellora pressed.Chyler continued, "They used those same harsh words that my parents used in front of you."Ellora first looked puzzled, but then her memory flashed back to that day. It had been two years, and her recollection of the events was fading, but she still remembered the hurtful words spoken by his parents during that visit.Ellora pursed her lips and asked, "And then?""It was Talia who had people spread those rumors. She admitted to it," Chyler disclosed."How did you find out about this?" Ellora asked.She had been highly attentive to anything c
This question had not come up in their relationship since things had improved between them. Nonetheless, it still lingered in the back of their minds. Being hurt before made them both wary of the possibility of it happening again in the future.Chyler admitted as he crouched down in front of her, his large hand gently holding hers, "I was wrong. I promise you, from now on, I'll only listen to you and won't do anything to hurt you. I'll consult with you on any decisions.""Mm." Ellora nodded.Chyler's face lit up with hope. "Do you believe me?"Ellora replied, "I believe that you mean what you're saying right now from the bottom of your heart. But I also believe that someday, if you stop loving me, all these words will mean nothing."Chyler quickly countered, "That won't happen!""Why won't it?"Ellora knew that Chyler loved her deeply at this moment, but she still harbored doubts. She worried his passion might wane once he successfully pursued her, and she could not afford to ta
"I want to transfer all my assets to Ellora and Julie. You can be the witness to prevent any foul play," Chyler said proactively, handing over a thick list of his assets. Cynthia was confused and asked, "Why not ask someone else?"Chyler clarified, "It's different. Ellora only trusts you."Cynthia further inquired, "Why didn't you bring her along?"Chyler explained, "She didn't want me to transfer the asset to them. I thought I'd complete all the transfer paperwork and then have her sign it directly. I want her to feel secure."Cynthia nodded in understanding. "If you're comfortable, I'll have my people handle this for you."Chyler knew Cynthia's integrity was unquestionable and quickly replied, "I trust you."After discussing the matter for over an hour, Chyler looked around and suddenly asked, "Is Matthew at home?"Cynthia was puzzled."Is he here?" Chyler repeated."He's upstairs. Do you need to talk to him about something?" Cynthia replied.Chyler said hesitantly, "No,
Cynthia responded with a casual hum.Chyler was puzzled by Cynthia's indifference. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Cynthia asked, "Is there anything else?""Aren't you curious about why he came to Nexuria?" Chyler wanted Cynthia to guess, but he forgot that Cynthia was not particularly inquisitive. Apart from very few exceptions, she rarely asked about things she was not directly involved in.Cynthia paused briefly before giving a simple answer, "Nope."Chyler ultimately said nothing more before leaving.At Lloyd's residence, Hunter looked at the unexpected guest in surprise. "Why are you here?" "I've come to discuss a collaboration with you," Joshua said, his presence exuding a strong aura.Hunter furrowed his brow, puzzled. "I don't recall any collaboration between us.""Haven't you been helping Lydia find a design teacher? I can introduce you to Eileen, a world-renowned designer. But in return, I need you to do something for me," Joshua asked. Eileen, a t
After many dilemmas, Jojo eventually went to approach Isabella. When he mentioned that his playground had been completed, Isabella's excitement could not be contained. Isabella cooed to Isaiah softly, pleading, "Isaiah, let's go. Jojo's playground is ready, and I haven't played there yet.""Playgrounds are all the same. We have one too," Isaiah replied, showing little enthusiasm."It's different. Jojo said I promised to go with them when his dad was building the playground. Now that it's done, not going would be breaking my word, wouldn't it?" Isabella said as she playfully shook his arm, her voice filled with a hint of sadness.Isaiah pondered this and finally gave in, "How long are we staying?""We'll be back after dinner!" Isabella's mood brightened instantly. She even promised, "If we stay longer than a minute, I'll give myself a time-out and think about what I've done for ten whole minutes!""You said it.""Mmhmm! I said it!" Isaiah quickly grabbed a notebook, wrote dow
Isaiah pointed out without hesitation and concluded, "This is the 18th time you said the same thing. No candy allowed.""Isaiah!" Isabella pouted, feeling a bit annoyed.This was the first time Jojo had given her candy in these past few days. If she refused it, he would probably think she did not want to play with him anymore."It's just one piece of candy. Let her have it," Jojo told Isaiah. Although they were a year older than Isaiah, sometimes it felt like Isaiah was the big brother."She has cavities. The doctor specifically told us not to give her sweets," Isaiah said.Isabella huffed. Isaiah was too mean! Upon hearing about her cavities, Jojo gently said, "Let me take a look.""Just a tiny bit, nothing serious. The doctor said brushing my teeth well and eating fewer sweets would be fine," Isabella explained."Are you sure he said 'eating fewer'?" Isaiah seized on her verbal slip.Isabella immediately lowered her head. Having a clever big brother was not always good; h
"I want to tell you a secret," Isabella whispered in Isaiah's ear.Isaiah turned to look at her, curious about what she was going to say.Isabella got very close to him, leaning in to whisper, "Apart from Mom and Dad, I love you the most."Isaiah was taken aback, and his ears turned a barely noticeable shade of red."Even Jojo can't compare to you," Isabella added with a mischievous smile. After saying this, she settled back into her seat, looking cute and obedient.Watching her playful and charming demeanor, Isaiah could not resist controlling her anymore. He decided not to restrict her any further."When we arrive at Jojo's house later, remember what Mommy and Daddy told us. After dinner, come home immediately, and don't stay over," he advised, giving her some freedom. "Okay!" Isabella agreed.Isaiah continued to nag, "No sweets allowed." "Mm!" Isabella nodded. Then, Isabella kissed Isaiah on the cheek, saying, "You're the best brother ever!"Isaiah's heart softened, b
