Derek's eyes glowed, causing Emily's heart to clench violently.

She dared not touch his eyes at all, fearing she might succumb.

Twisting her fingers, she hastily changed the topic, saying, "By the way, about what I mentioned last night regarding the child's education, have you had a chance to consider it?"

Derek fixed his gaze on her and replied, "I respect all of your opinions, as well as any choices the children may make. If the children agree to go to kindergarten, I won't oppose it."

The corner of Emily's lips curled into an arc. "Good, I'll find some time to ask the two of them."

However, Derek's face darkened a bit.

Initially, Emily had rejected him, but it was the children that had slowly led her to accept him. Now, as she was willing to marry him, there seemed to be two reasons: to give the children a complete family and, secondly, because he had once saved her.

A woman would always harbor gratitude for the man who saved her. Yet, how much

    Emily's eyes slowly opened to find Derek staring at her with an expression she couldn't place. Her head rested against Derek's chest."Does it hurt?" Derek asked, breaking the silence between them.Emily blushed. "No.""Good," Derek replied, then gazed at the ceiling. Emily expected Derek to leave soon. Instead, he lay next to her for a moment, then slid off the bed and headed for the bathroom.Curious about Derek's actions, Emily sat up. When the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Emily saw Derek walk back in. Totally confused, she wondered, "What was Derek doing?"But Emily didn't bother to ask. Derek picked her up and took her to the bathroom.He put her feet on the floor and joined her. The hot water felt soothing on Emily's skin. Though she didn't understand what was happening, she refrained from saying anything to avoid ruining the moment, letting Derek do as he pleased.Derek's hands brushed over Emily's skin with a wet rag and s

    The uneasiness in her heart intensified, rendering it impossible for Emily to remain still.Before long, the car they were in pulled up in front of the villa, with a layer of frost still clinging to Derek's face.Observing that Derek showed no intention of leaving the car, Emily sensed that he might have something important to share, perhaps related to Serena.At the thought, Emily's heart sank a little.Breaking the silence with a light cough, she carefully began, "Derek, though I'm unaware of how your conversation with Serena unfolded, I respect whatever choices you make. After all..."Emily paused momentarily before continuing, "I understand that our marriage initially revolved around the children. Now that Serena is back, you..."Reluctantly, Emily admitted, albeit quietly, that she was saddened by her own words."Emily..."However, Derek abruptly interrupted her with a sudden outburst, fixing his deep eyes on her with seriousness.He

    After tucking a couple of kids into bed, Emily and Derek returned to their room."Derek, I wanted to ask you how it went with Serena," Emily inquired after much deliberation.Derek gave Emily a teasing look. "Are you jealous, honey?"Emily looked away, a little embarrassed. "No, it's just..."However, Derek suddenly interrupted her. "Look, it's all in the past between Serena and me. You're the only one in my heart right now, so don't worry about it. Serena's return isn't going to have any effect on our lives, okay?"After saying that, Derek reached out and touched Emily's head.Hearing Derek's sincere tone, Emily's face couldn't help but turn red. "No, Derek, I'm feeling a little off. Listen to me; I saw you tonight before we met at the bar, and you were talking to Serena.""What?" Derek frowned at Emily's words."Yes, but the next second, you were gone, and then I walked over to talk to Serena for a moment, only for you to suddenly come out t

    When Emily returned home from work in the evening, the only occupants of the living room were her four adorable children and the busy nanny."Where's your daddy?" Emily asked with a smile.Aaron blinked and replied, "I just saw Daddy heading outside. I don't know what he went to do."Chris nodded. "Daddy looked like he was in a hurry."Emily frowned. She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, and her right eyelid started to twitch.Emma suddenly came over with a smile on her face. "Derek went out for something."Emily pursed her lips. "What did he go out to work on?""Something happened to the Scott Group's branch abroad," Emma lowered her voice and said. "Derek may have to travel for a while."The cloud of uncertainty in Emily's mind grew thicker. Why didn't Derek call her about this?She took out her cell phone and said, "Mom, I'll call Derek first."Emma's eyes flashed, and she smiled. "Okay, go ahead."E

    Emily found herself disoriented, unsure of her location. Suddenly, a dense fog of blood obscured her vision, vast swaths of it advancing towards her. The suffocating sensation intensified as she struggled to breathe, gasping for air amid the crimson mist. Yet, within this eerie atmosphere, a familiar male voice cut through the murk."Emily...""Emily..."The voices echoed like desperate cries on the brink of demise."Who are you? Where are you?" Emily hissed, her words resonating through the blood-laden haze. However, there was no response. Her heart clenched, as though a knife had been ruthlessly twisted at its core.Suddenly, a huge pain came from her heart.And the pain soon engulfed her entire body...Emily abruptly opened her eyes, realizing it was merely a nightmare.This recurring dream had haunted her for over ten consecutive nights. Each time, the voice calling her name belonged to Derek. Perhaps, it was the result of their prolonged separation and her intense longing for him

    The next day.Emma sat in the living room watching TV when she heard Emily coming downstairs. She snapped back to reality and momentarily froze upon seeing Emily, then quickly regained her composure."Emma, I'm heading to work," Emily announced as she stood in the foyer changing her shoes, her face calm and unruffled.Derek had disappeared the previous night after she fell asleep, and there was no sign of him when she woke up. And the kids had already left for school.Approaching Emily with a smile, Emma inquired, "Don't you want breakfast? Last night..." Emma hesitated, then continued, "Did you sleep well?"Emily nodded lightly and replied, "Derek came back in the middle of the night yesterday. Did you know that?""I... I just knew that..." Emma averted her eyes and sighed, "Derek is a workaholic. When he's focused on work, he forgets everything. Emily, don't be upset with Derek for this, okay?"Emily stared at Emma for a moment, kindly smiled, an

    The gazes of the two met in the air.Emily pursed her scarlet lips and took a step down the stairs.As she raised her eyes to speak, her gaze landed on the man's collar, adorned with conspicuous and piercing big red lipstick.Emily's lips tightened. She reached for a tissue from the entryway cabinet, walked over, and gently said, "Bend down a little at the waist."Gimson, unsure of her intentions, complied, bending over slightly.Emily then wiped off the lipstick marks on his collar.She raised her cool eyes, scrutinizing, and uttered, "Derek, let's have a nice chat.""What do you want to chat about?" Gimson looked at Emily with interest, admiring her scarlet lips and slim figure. Even he had to admit that she was a first-class beauty.He stepped forward and suddenly hooked Emily's chin. In the next second, he noticed a hint of disgust in Emily's eyes."You hate me?" Gimson asked in a low voice.Emily smiled slightly, "Not hating, bu

    The next morning, Emily and her four kids gathered around the dining table for breakfast with Emma.After nearly finishing their meal, Emily spoke up, "Yesterday, I received a call from abroad."Emma set down her chopsticks, asking, "Was the call about something important?"Emily nodded, "Yes. When I came back with Chris and Diana, I was in a hurry, and some formalities were left incomplete. They called to ask me to go over and complete the final paperwork. So, I want to take Chris and Diana on a trip out of the country."Emma furrowed her brow, questioning, "Do you have to go in person?"Emily smiled, "Yes. Plus, my friends abroad helped me a lot during that time, so I thought I'd visit them as well."Emma expressed her disapproval, "Chris and Diana are still young; it's too much trouble to go abroad, and adapting to a new environment can lead to sickness...""Grandma, my sister and I have lived abroad for many years, and we want to go back and vi

    Time flied, and before everyone realized it, a year had gone by.During this time, Charlotte's life abroad appeared calm and routine. She woke up early every day for classes, diligently completed assignments, engaged in academic discussions with her classmates, and participated in various club activities. In the eyes of her friends, she was a positive and energetic girl.Only she knew deep down that she had been waiting, waiting for the one she loved so dearly, the prince who had promised to come back for her.Late at night, Charlotte often found herself sitting alone at her small dormitory desk, gazing out the window at the starry sky, feeling a lingering sense of loss and loneliness in her heart. She had asked herself more than once where Kingsley was and why he never wrote or called.On this sunny day, Charlotte went to the school library as usual, ready to work on an important paper. She sat by the window, her desk piled high with various referenc

    Kingsley knew deep down that Charlotte wasn't that kind of person, but the beast suppressed within him was roaring uncontrollably, and the malice rooted in the marrow of his bones surged through him, causing even his blood to boil.His eyes turned cold and gloomy as he glanced towards Charlotte's siblings, emotions spiraling out of control within him.If without them...If...Kingsley suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders.He turned to see Freya's hand resting there, her expression hardened, eyes gazing up at him with concern.Charlotte pushed past Aaron and edged forward.Seeing Kingsley's obviously troubled eyes, her heart raced, her voice becoming raspy and hard to hear. "Wait... for me..."At the sound of her voice, Kingsley visibly froze, then the darkness in his eyes lifted abruptly as he stared into hers, his tone somewhat uncertain. "Charlotte? What's with your voice?"Charlotte's eyes reddened, but she bit her

    On this day, Charlotte's siblings took her to the hospital to visit Kingsley at Derek and Emily's insistence.At the hospital entrance, Freya and Chris chatted as they walked toward Kingsley's room. Charlotte's footsteps behind them were eager, and Diana held her back, squeezing her hand to calm her.Charlotte glanced at her sister, understanding the concern in Diana's eyes, biting her lip to suppress the impatience in her heart.She couldn't be blamed for being eager; since witnessing Kingsley jump from the school building rooftop, she hadn't exchanged a word with him.Their closeness was stark, yet they were almost separated by life and death. The image of Kingsley jumping from the building was like a nightmare etched in her mind.Thinking about it brought back that choking feeling, making her breath quicken. She forced herself to endure it, following her siblings into the exclusive elevator that took them straight to Kingsley's floor.&nb

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, spilling onto the carpet.Charlotte opened her eyes just in time to see Emily changing the water at her bedside. Emily was surprised when she noticed Charlotte waking up. "Charlotte, you're awake!"Charlotte nodded silently.There was a faint sound coming from outside the door. Charlotte glanced over, her expression puzzled. Emily explained beside her, "Ian and Diana are both back, and your father is outside interrogating them."Charlotte's expression shifted slightly at that news. She looked somewhat anxious.This matter was clearly her own problem, yet it seemed her father was pursuing it as if her brothers and sister were solely responsible, which felt unfair to them. The guilt inside her intensified as she thought about it.Seeing Charlotte attempting to get up, Emily quickly intervened, "Hey, Charlotte, don't move! Your injuries haven't healed yet!"As if sensi

    The Scott family manor was brightly lit.After more than three years, the Scott family once again activated the first level of defense. The black-clothed bodyguards, who were early at the Scott family manor, stood firmly on guard, while the Scott family servants gathered in the hall and garden, heads lowered, waiting strictly.Vehicles neatly lined up and entered the gates of the Scott family, bypassing the open-air fountain and proceeding towards the main house.Chris's face was vaguely pale; he had learned from a phone call with Diana on the way that their parents had returned. Emily and Derek were already aware of everything that had happened.Judging by their current demeanor, one could see that Emily and Derek were genuinely angry. After all, they had kept the truth from Emily and Derek for so long, and now it was revealed after such a significant accident.Beside them, Charlotte remained silent and withdrawn. Her once clear and bright

    It was hard for her to believe that the clean, even a little shy Kingsley she knew and the bloodthirsty, horrible person in front of her were the same person.She had always known that Kingsley's condition was serious, but it was only when she was confronted head-on for the first time that she realized just how horrible it was. Kingsley didn't even look like a normal person at this point."Kingsley!" Freya's expression changed; she became nervous and cautious as she slowly stepped forward. "Drop the knife and come here, let me see your wound."At this point, Theo's death was completely unimportant. If Kingsley is allowed to see more bloodshed or even directly kill Theo, I'm afraid his condition will worsen, and he won't be able to regain his sanity at all.In the face of Freya's coaxing, Kingsley did not react at all. Holding the knife in one hand, he pressed his other hand against Theo's neck harder and harder."Kingsley!" Freya was anxious, but she d

    Outside the school, Charlotte was escorted to a waiting car. The vehicle was equipped with special materials, bulletproof and resistant to various thermal weapons. Even though the school's premises had been cleared of bombs, Theo had come prepared, and no one knew if he had any other plans lurking in the shadows. Chris wasn't about to let his sister take such a risk.The people at the school had no idea what kind of life-and-death disaster they had just narrowly avoided. They all emerged from the school, unaware of the danger they had faced. They got into various luxury cars and departed one after another. Originally, Carl wanted to wait at the door, but with too many acquaintances coming and going, he had no choice but to hide in the Scott family's car.Chris voiced his concern, "Are you sure Theo will keep his word?""Not entirely," Carl replied, taking off his gold-rimmed glasses and impatiently rubbing his brow. "But Kingsley had to take a gamble on whether Theo still had it in

    When these words were spoken, all the bodyguards present were shocked. Theo was filled with disbelief."What did you say? You're going to declare war on me in the manner of the Livingston family?" Theo almost laughed out loud. "Do you know what you're talking about?"Carl's face hardened for a moment as well. "Kingsley, calm down!"Kingsley, however, paid no attention to him. He stared into Theo's eyes, showing no hint of hesitation or fear. He said, "I know exactly what I'm doing, so don't you dare underestimate me."This declaration made Theo's face darken, his expression obscure, filled with deep thoughts.Charlotte looked at Chris somewhat helplessly. She didn't understand what was happening. Was this a big gamble by Kingsley?Chris composed himself, looked towards Kingsley and Theo's confrontation, and softly explained, "The Livingston family has rules. Members can challenge each other when there are disputes or unavoidable conflicts. They fight one-on-one in a life-and-death due

    Ben held Charlotte at gunpoint, then glanced at Theo, who sat calmly and inquired, "What do you want?""I know you plan to use her against Kingsley and the Livingston family. My request is simple: ten million dollars and a getaway car," Ben stated viciously."Oh? You're not seeking vengeance for your family?" Theo remained composed."I'm not naive! I know how to negotiate with someone like you for maximum gain. You never intended to aid in avenging my family, did you?"Theo chuckled softly. "Looks like you're still somewhat sharp, but... still an idiot!"At Theo's words, two black-clad bodyguards suddenly emerged, advancing toward Ben."Aren't you worried I'll kill her? Then you'd have nothing to hold over Kingsley!" Ben exclaimed in panic."Foolish! My aim was always to destabilize Kingsley mentally. If you did kill Charlotte, I'd owe you gratitude."Hearing this, panic flashed in Ben's eyes, and in his haste, he aimed his pistol at Theo.
