Filled with excitement, Celena stepped out of the elevator and saw Liam standing in the middle of the lobby, unharmed. Tears instantly streamed down her face. She quickly ran toward Liam and hugged him, sobbing in his arms."You're finally back! I've been worried sick about you. How are you? Did they give you a hard time?" Celena sobbed.Liam was stunned by Celena's hug. It seemed that he was incredibly important to Celena. She was so worried about him.Thinking of that, a faint smile appeared on Liam's face. He felt touched. His gaze was so tender as he looked at Celena.He hugged Celena gently and comforted her in a tender voice, "Alright. Don't worry anymore. I'm back, am I not? I'm fine. They didn't give me a hard time."It was only then Celena released Liam from her grip. Liam looked right at her with an affectionate gaze and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes."Alright, now. Don't cry anymore. You're not going to look pretty anymore if you keep crying," he t
Reginald did not believe Liam at all. He signaled Yafe with his eyes, asking him to call to verify Liam's words.At that moment, Cheryl—who was standing closest to the door—suddenly shouted, "Grandpa, bad news! Quick! Look! It seems that Mr. Wheeler and Kayson are here! They have a dozen bodyguards following behind them too! They must be here to punish someone! Liam, you can't have beaten Mr. Wheeler up before running off, right?"Everyone turned to look at the entrance and saw Jordan walking in with Kayson, who had a swollen face and was limping. There were a dozen bodyguards following behind them, and each of them was carrying gifts.Reginald and the others were terrified when they saw them. They thought Liam truly created a big mess this time.Reginald did not even have time to reprimand Liam. He was nervous as he went up to greet Jordan with a smile.As soon as Jordan entered, Reginald apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wheeler. Don't worry. We won't cover up for Liam at all. We'll g
Reginald finally figured out what was happening at that moment, so he politely said, "You're too kind, Mr. Wheeler. It's just roughhousing between the kids. There's no need for this. Hurry up and let your son get up. Besides, Liam was in the wrong too."However, Jordan ignored him, keeping his eyes fixed on Liam in terror.That was until Liam said calmly, "Get up."Only then did Kayson get up like he received an amnesty. He did not dare to say much. He just looked terrified as he hid himself behind Jordan.Jordan kept apologizing and thanking Liam before leaving the Stone family's company with Kayson.Once Jordan and the others left, the lobby was abuzz with intense discussion."Was my fucking eyes playing tricks on me? Did Jordan just bring Kayson here to apologize?""I'm confused. I know Kayson. He's usually insufferably arrogant. It's hard enough for him to admit his mistake, much less apologize on his knees.""This is a mysterious world. I'm so confused.""What I'm curious
Celena looked at Liam, feeling so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded her head with all her might and said, "Alright. I believe you."She wiped her tears and calmed herself down before saying, "Liam, go home and be with Jovie. I still have some things to do at the office. I'll go home later."Liam nodded and watched Celena walk into the company before hailing a cab to leave.With the cupcakes he bought on his way home in hand, he walked into the cottage. Jovie was drawing at the table at that moment.Once she saw that Liam was home, she ran to him with the drawing she just drew. She held the drawing in the air and asked as if she was fishing for praise, "Dad, quick, look! Did I do a good job? I drew Mom, Dad, and myself!"Liam crouched down. With one hand holding the cupcakes, Liam picked up Jovie with the other hand and looked at the drawing Jovie was holding.It was three simple figures. Two adults were holding hands with a small person in the middle.Liam had
Ayla stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Ms. Stone, this video has just been posted online and it's already all over the internet. Everyone in the company was saying that the man in the video was your husband. Do you think that's him? They all said he looks very much like him."Celena carefully watched the video from the top again. The more she watched, the more she felt she was right.However, she had a confused look on her face and said, "It shouldn't be him. Liam is not in the army anymore. Why would a captain salute him? "Also, look, that's the head of the Wheeler family. With his status in Drunham City, he wouldn't possibly kneel before someone to apologize unless he's a big shot from the military region. Liam? How could he possibly be Liam?"Celena denied it, but she was still skeptical about it. That man truly looked very like Liam, but she could not be sure.Upon hearing that, Ayla took her phone back and muttered, "That makes sense. If your husband is that capable,
Her feelings for Liam were very complicated. After all, he was the man who hurt her seven years ago. They were already married, and Liam helped her very much, but she would not be able to accept Liam lying to her.Celena looked more relaxed as she turned around and headed to the bathroom. Liam, too, felt relieved as he watched her walk off. He carried Jovie to the dining table and got ready to have dinner.The family of three had a joyful dinner together. Liam kept putting food on Celena's plate to the point that a pile was quickly formed. In the end, Celena had no choice but to stop him."Hurry up and eat your dinner. There's no need to keep piling food on my plate. I won't be able to finish them," said Celena.It was only then Liam stopped.Halfway through dinner, Celena suddenly thought of the Hughes family, and her expression immediately darkened.Feeling a little worried, she asked, "Liam, how do you plan to take care of the issue with the Hughes family? Do you have a solu
Because of the price range for Wonderland Restaurant, the majority of the people who would want to dine there were either wealthy people or famous influencers. Even then, they would still have to wait in line to get in.After Liam got to the entrance of the restaurant, he glanced at the crowd standing in line and walked straight to the host stand to make his intentions clear."Hi, I would like to book out the entire restaurant," said Liam."Book out the whole restaurant?"At first, the hostess was busy cross-checking the customers' reservations. She was dazed when she heard Liam's words. Surprised, she looked up at Liam, who was carrying his daughter. Seeing that Liam did not seem to be lying, her gaze was immediately filled with enthusiasm."Hi, sir. Are you sure you would like to reserve the entire place?""Mmhmm. That's right. I want the whole place," Liam said with a nod.The hostess did not look down on Liam. She simply followed the standard procedure and explained, "Sir, y
What was more important was that Liam was the heir of the Cole family. He was someone that many people were fawning over. However, Liam was arrogant, so he ignored everybody.Tanner repeatedly tried to ingratiate himself with Liam, but he was ignored and rejected every time. Liam even rejected him in front of a crowd once. That made Tanner feel incredibly embarrassed.It was then Tanner started holding a grudge against Liam.However, the Cole family fell after that. Tanner was cheering in secret at that time. Before he could mock Liam, he disappeared from Drunham City.At that moment, Tanner could not believe that he would meet him again.Seven years passed. The heir of the Cole family who were once all high and mighty became a live-in son-in-law. Tanner, on the other hand, was the manager of the famous Wonderland Restaurant. Both of their social status drastically changed.Tanner no longer felt inferior like he once did when he faced Liam at that moment. He was looking at Liam
