Her distant tone and indifferent reaction caught Luca completely off guard.
He was momentarily at a loss for words, using the last bit of his patience to calmly say, “I’ll wait for you to finish. Shouldn’t we have a talk?”
Vanessa wanted to refuse, but seeing he had no intention of giving up, she sighed in resignation and turned to her assistant. “Please have Mr. Kensington wait for me in my office.”
After saying that, she turned and headed to the elevator, continuing with her work meeting.
The assistant respectfully led Luca upstairs and prepared some tea before leaving to attend to his own tasks.
Luca observed Vanessa’s office, noting a photo of her and Isla on her desk—with no one else in the frame.
This piqued his curiosity.

She ran into Mariah, who had just seen off a client. “President, are you planning to work yourself to death, trying to stick it out until the very end?” Seeing her joke about herself, Vanessa pretended to be angry. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll seal your lips!” “Alright, alright, no more jokes. Where are you off to?” Mariah offered a few options. “Are you going to meet a client or the president of the K Group?” Vanessa rolled her eyes and explained, “Didn’t you say I should pay more attention to my daughter? I’m picking her up from school and taking her out to eat.” “Oh, how rare! President Saxon remembers she has a daughter.” “This is the company; don’t tarnish my reputation.” After some playful banter, Mariah finally laughed and said, looking at the time, “You should hurry; otherwise, you’ll be late.” Realizing the time, Vanessa immediately head

As soon as Isla heard the word “safe,” she immediately hugged Luca like a little ornament. With a charming smile, she sweetly asked, “Then, Uncle, can you come pick me up when Mommy is busy?” Luca was taken aback because, apart from Ezra, almost all the other children would avoid him, intimidated by his cold, emotionless demeanor. Sometimes, they would even cry in fear, making him hesitant to approach. During their first meeting, he thought she was afraid of him; now, why had she become so clingy? Vanessa looked surprised as well, trying to signal Isla several times, but she simply refused to get down from Luca's arms. With no other choice, Vanessa could only apologize awkwardly, saying, “She’s just a child; please don’t be upset, Mr. Kensington.” “Not at all.” His tone seemed to grow even colder.

Luca took advantage of his recovery to stay at Vanessa's house for a few days.During this time, Vanessa entrusted all company matters to Mariah, focusing instead on caring for Luca at home.After a few days together, Luca vaguely sensed that Vanessa’s attitude towards him had softened; she was no longer as cold and distant as before, which filled him with a bit of secret delight.In reality, Vanessa had indeed changed significantly in her attitude towards Luca. She was grateful that he had saved her, yet she was still unwilling to easily forgive him for what he had done before.Conflicted, Vanessa found herself alternating between memories of Luca, injured and approaching her, and his cold demeanor when he had plotted against her child.These two extreme emotions battled within her, leaving her feeling both sweet and tortured.Luca, however, was unaware of Vanessa's inner turmoil.

Only one of you can leave here today. Will it be Vanessa or yourself?”Vanessa frowned and shouted, “Daxton, are you insane?!”This time, Daxton didn’t glance at Vanessa but fixed his gaze on Luca.Luca had anticipated that things wouldn’t be simple.

In this way? Daxton, do you realize this is kidnapping? Let me go right now; I have a mountain of work waiting for me at the office.”As soon as he heard Vanessa wanted to leave, Daxton’s expression changed dramatically.

Daxton, you should head back. I have Mariah here to keep me company,” Vanessa said, reluctant to face Daxton. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with him lately.Daxton glanced at Vanessa but didn’t say much.

Worried that Luca might discover something, Beatriz cautiously glanced at him, relieved to see he wasn’t paying attention to her.Picking up on the sarcasm in Vanessa's words, Beatriz felt a bit unwilling to accept it and retorted, “President Saxon, what are you saying? Ezra is indeed feeling unwell, and as parents, it’s only natural for us to be cautious.

What does our argument have to do with him? Who else do you want to swap out?”Despite her agitation, Daxton remained calm and gentle in his tone. “Ora is quite capable and won’t require your extra effort. Besides, your previous assistant didn’t take care of you at all. Ora was carefully chosen by me; she’s trustworthy. Trust me,” he added, hinting further, “the headquarters k
