2024-11-26 13:29:46At a high-end seaside restaurant, the waves danced like flowers, and the sea breeze was sweet. She arrived half an hour early, wanting some time alone to enjoy the scenery.
Memories gradually washed over her, those brief yet beautiful moments with Luca, which momentarily clouded her mind like a dream.
Hugging her knees, she sat on the beach, watching the waves and other couples frolicking in the sand, feeling a twinge of envy.
“If five years ago you had believed me, maybe we would be a happy family of three by now…”
Vanessa mumbled, surprised to find that she still harbored fantasies about Luca. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.
“Vanessa…”
The call from behind startled her, and she turned around in surprise.
Seeing that it was indeed Luca, she concealed all her warmth and put on a look of disdain, frowning as she faced him.
“Mr. Kensington, we aren’t close enough for first names yet.”
She said coolly befo

Glancing at the two cars hiding in the shadows, she awkwardly said, “Can you wait a moment? I’ll call someone to pick me up.”The guard nodded, standing beside her car.After observing for a while, he took out his walkie-talkie and called over several patrolling guards, seemingly having noticed that other vehicles were following her.Vanessa tried to call Grandpa, but his phone was turned off…Knock, knock, knock...The guard knocked on her car window.

I…”Vanessa shot him a warning look, signaling him not to continue.He immediately caught on and changed his phrasing, saying, “I’ve already cleared everything here; there are no backups left.”“Okay, I understand.

The news constantly reported on the arrest of the suspect from Pako Group, but she learned that Alden had been released without charges just 24 hours after her arrest.However, it seemed like this news was automatically filtered out, as no one dared to report it.Vanessa felt uneasy, so she contacted the police station using her own phone. The officer who answered was a detective named Claude.“Miss Saxon, you’re calling about Alden’s arrest, aren’t you?”Before she could say anything, the officer already understood her intentions, as if he had been waiting for her call.“It seems Officer Claude has guessed who I am,” she replied.“I looked into the call information from your number and quickly confirmed that it was you who called.”It seemed that the video footage was useful for them in capturing the murderer, but hadn’t they just released Alden?As she pondered this, Claude suggested that she cooperate with the police i

Vanessa couldn't afford to offend him and could only respond evasively, “Alright, alright, whatever you say.”Though Luca wanted to explain further, he knew in his heart that she wouldn’t believe him.In the end, he let out a heavy sigh through his nose.“Why did they want to kill President Pako?”Hearing this, Luca looked up and saw her with a conflicted and remorseful expression. He hadn’t noticed that his fists were clenched tightly.He placed her foot on the coffee table and sat down on the single sofa beside her, staring at her intently.“Don’t worry, the bad guys will ultimately be brought to justice.”Was that a line from Batman?For some reason, the moment she heard those words, she felt like laughing, thinking it sounded like something a character from an anime would say.

With a dull thud, the sound wasn’t loud, but it drew everyone’s attention.They saw Luca suddenly lean against the car hood, looking as if he were in considerable discomfort.Vanessa, closest to him, rushed over to support him and anxiously asked, “What’s wrong? Are you in pain?”Despite his bravado, Luca shook his head and waved his hand, forcing a smile as he denied, “I’m fine; just feeling a bit dizzy.”She didn’t believe him and quickly called for someone to help him to the tent. After examining him, the accompanying doctor emerged with a frown.“Mr. Kensington has sustained an injury to his side, likely from a collision and subsequent fall, which has led to an infection. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment and medication.”Vanessa was shocked and glanced at Luca, whose complexion was already looking quite bad.

Luca indeed realized that Isla was much smarter than her mother.At least so far, she was the first to pick up on his intentions for coming here.“Isla, don’t you want someone to take care of your mom, love her, and also care for you?”“Uncle, do you want to be that person?”Luca, tempted by the prospect of 'benefits,' quickly admitted, “I do…”Then he swiftly realized he had been successfully led into a conversation by a kindergarten kid, and instead of being angry, he felt particularly pleased about it.“Isla, you’re so smart and perceptive; you’ll surely be my daughter in the future…”Just as he was praising her, Vanessa misunderstood and abruptly pulled Isla towards her, holding up an ice pack, her eyes alert and tense as she questioned, “What daughter?

She quickly turned back to her room, hugging Isla and spending a sleepless night.What does Luca mean by this? Is he finding someone to protect her and Isla?

He calmly touched his cheek where the slap had landed and said lightly, “My face is insured. If you want to hit me, aim somewhere else.”Seeing Leonardo’s nonchalant attitude, as if this had nothing to do with him, William became even angrier, throwing punch after punch, this time sparing Leonardo’s face and landing the blows on his body.Seething, William spat, “How dare you come here?

You both should go home and rest.”Vanessa hesitated, feeling the weight of the complex relationships between everyone involved, which only made her headache worse.Luca watched with a detached look and said to Vanessa, “Vanessa, maybe we should go. Isla’s still waiting at home, and with William here, I doubt there will be any problems.”Reluctantly, Vanessa nodded, especially after seeing Mariah’s silence, and decided to leave.Meanwhile, Leonardo was still filming a show and hadn’t checked his phone.When filming finally wrapped up, Leonardo grabbed his phone, only to have it immediately taken by his manager.“Leo, we have another gig lined up

She had thought that Leonardo at least had some feelings for her, but now it seemed that, despite their mutual attraction, it wouldn’t lead anywhere. There were too many barriers between them, and just the unspoken rule that celebrities couldn’t date was enough to crush any tender hopes she held.Lost in thought, she didn’t notice a drunken man stumble out of a nearby alley, heading straight toward her.Without warning, he bumped into her, sending her crashing to the ground.Seeing this, he lunged at her.

How is it that just a few days later, you can’t help yourself? Let me tell you, don’t think these tricks can fool everyone; I’ve seen many seduction tactics like yours.” Mariah's expression instantly turned cold, and she was clearly displeased. However, due to the manager’s status, she suppressed her anger and tried to explain patiently, “You’ve really misunderstood; I absolutely don’t mean that.” The manager curled his lip, not believing Mariah’s words.

Clearing his throat, the old man replied solemnly, “Luca, this situation has come up unexpectedly. I plan to personally go to the company, and I’d like you to come with me.” After a moment of silence, Luca refused, “Grandpa, I think I’ll pass. It’s rare for me to have a break, and I’d like to rest a bit more.” Hearing this, the old man sighed. “Alright then, I won’t force you.” He understood that Luca’s reluctance to return to the company was likely due to Vanessa. It was a rare opportunity for Luca to spend time with her, and he didn’t want anyone to interfere. Besides, going to the company now might not be very useful anyway. Beatriz was no
