Anne turned to Nicholas and said, “I’ll drop Coco off at Sabrina’s. Can you take Leon to the café? He wants to work with Dad today in the garden.”

Nicholas was in a hurry, so he didn’t ask her many questions. After securing the babies in their car seats, Anne drove Coco to Sabrina’s, feeling a sense of purpose about visiting the Taylor house today. Once they arrived, she placed the kids in the stroller and made her way inside with Coco.

Sabrina was pleasantly surprised to see Anne, who hadn’t come to drop Coco off in a long time. “Anne! It’s great to see you!” she exclaimed, greeting her warmly before cooing at the little babies, who were wide-eyed at the unfamiliar surroundings.

“Is Bella here?” Anne asked, glancing around.

Sabrina’s expression shifted slightly. “Bella’s down with a cold. Are you sure you want to see her?” she asked, concerned about the babies catching anything.

“We’re recently vaccinated,” Anne replied reassuringly. “I’ll go and see her.”

Thank you, Dear. I am not going to disappear anywhere soon as I have big responsibilities on my shoulders. Though I will not be posting any chapters today for this book because I am very tired after writing ten chapters yesterday and I have no creativity for this storyline today.

    A few years later…Today, the Hart Mansion was bustling with excitement. The mansion was beautifully decorated, celebrating Leon, also known as Nathaniel Hart’s special day, who had just turned thirteen. Leon was all smiles when he woke up to find his parents in his room with a large gift.“My baby entered his teens,” Anne said emotionally, moving to hug him and kissing his forehead.“I love you, Ma,” Leon replied, hugging her tightly.“Happy birthday, baby boy,” Nicholas joined in, giving his son a warm hug.Leon groaned, “Please, Dad, I'm not a baby boy anymore.”“When your mom calls you baby, you accept it,” Nicholas teased, feeling a bit left out.“She is my mom. She can call me anything,” Leon declared.“Fine,” Nicholas rolled his eyes.Leon then turned to Anne with hope in his eyes, “Ma, did you make me a special breakfast?”Anne laughed, “Of course, I did!”Leon beamed and kissed her cheek, “You are the best!”Nicholas chimed in, “I helped too, you know.”“Thanks, Dad!” Leon sai

    They heard the loud pop of a balloon from the living room and immediately, they all rushed toward the sound, only to find Coco standing there, holding a million of colorful balloons. She wore black sunglasses, her dark hair styled in two thin braids with the rest left loose and she was dressed in a short skirt and an oversized hoodie. The moment Leon arrived in front of her, she let go of the balloons and yelled, "Happy birthday, Leon!"She ran over and hugged him tightly. At thirteen, she stood as tall as Leon who was already 170 cm. "Little brother, happy birthday! I have so many presents for you!"Leon smiled. "Thanks, Coco."Abella, Callum, and Rhys ran to play with the balloons floating around the living room. Coco on seeing Anne, ran over and hugged her mother while giggling. She was now a few inches taller than Anne and whenever she hugged her, she liked to lift her off the ground which always startle her mother."Mommy darling! I love you so much," Coco said, kissing Anne on

    “Hello, my little jungle!” Bella’s voice rang out in the living room.At the sound of their grandmother, all the children ran to her. Their faces lit up with excitement as they saw her. Bella was their favourite person in the entire universe. They loved her deeply and she loved them more than anything. “Leon, my grandson! My favorite little devil!” Bella exclaimed as she hugged Leon. “Your gift is waiting for you outside!”Knowing Bella, it had to be something extraordinary. Leon’s eyes widened with anticipation as he ran out the door, only to be greeted by the sight of a red Ferrari parked right outside. His jaw dropped and crazy excitement ran through him. "Oh my god! Oh my god!"He rushed to the car and opened the door to look at the interiors. He could hardly contain his excitement as he bounced on his feet. His joy was over the world. He yelled out, “This is the best birthday gift ever!”Anne stood back, watching with a soft smile. She approached Bella and said in a gentle tone

    The birthday party had started and it was quite grand.Jacob had come to celebrate his grandson's special day. When Anne noticed him standing alone, she approached him and asked, “Dad, you didn’t bring Sia?”“You know her. She would never come to events with me,” Jacob replied, shaking his head. “She said she has an exam tomorrow and is busy preparing for it.”Sia was indeed a brilliant student but she struggled with low self-esteem, especially when it came to the Hart family. Interacting with them often left her feeling insecure and inferior.As the time for cake-cutting approached, Leon scanned the room as if he was looking for someone but it seemed he didn’t find who he was searching for. Coco asked, “Baba, where is Alesia?”“Don’t you all have the math Olympiad coming up?” Jacob said. “She mentioned she was preparing for it.”Coco pouted in disappointment. “My bestie is such a bookworm!”“Leon, let’s cut the cake!” Anne brightened the mood.Leon paused for a moment, taking in the

    “Baba, when will these plants flower?” Callum asked his grandfather, who was busy in his garden, planting seedlings in the soil. Callum had learned the art of gardening from his grandfather and he loved coming to visit every Sunday to watch the garden that he helped his grandfather bloom. He would either harvest vegetables and fruits with his grandfather for taking them home for his mommy to cook delicious meals for his siblings or ask Leon to cook some of them right there at their grandfather’s house. They always share such precious moments together.“In about thirty days, they will start giving us vegetables,” Jacob said, calmly guiding Callum’s small hands to plant the fragile seedlings in the soil. Callum was just over five years old and he stood in the soil with his hands dirty, but his face beamed with joy.“Mr. Swift, it's getting hot. Please go inside,” Sia said worriedly, approaching them with a glass of water that she had mixed with electrolytes. “Please have this.”Jacob loo

    They drove to Jacob’s house and were greeted by the chaotic scene in the living room. Rhys, Abella, and Coco were dancing to loud music as they were laughing and spinning around without a care in the world. Meanwhile, Callum was quietly sitting in the corner who was absorbed in a thick encyclopedia about butterflies and seemingly unaffected by the noise around him. Leon and Sia were nowhere in sight.In the kitchen, Leon was washing the dishes while Sia was cleaning the counter beside him. They worked silently but their actions were in sync. Suddenly, Leon broke the silence, catching Sia off guard. “Did Jackson Kingsley harass you again?” he asked very calmly. Sia froze, then swallowed nervously as she looked at him. Seeing Leon’s constant gaze on her, she quickly shook her head denying about the harassment by the other boy.He nodded as he was seemingly satisfied with her response and went back to scrubbing the dishes. Once he finished the dishes, he noticed her struggling with the

    When Leon's parents shared their plan with him, he took a week to think it over before giving them an answer. Eventually, he agreed to go to the school in Switzerland. With his admission process underway, Leon continued attending his current school. A few days later, Sabrina also confirmed that she was moving to Switzerland, and Coco was asked whether she wanted to live with Anne or Sabrina.As much as Coco loved Anne and Nicholas, she knew Sabrina was alone in the world. Anne had the entire family by her side but Sabrina had only Coco. So, Coco made the difficult decision to stay with Sabrina. Knowing Leon would be there made the decision a little easier for her, but it didn’t make the thought of moving far from her family any less sad.In the final days at school, Sia seemed the most affected by the news. She was losing her bestfriend all of a sudden. “We will still be best friends for life,” Coco declared. “I will visit whenever I come back home and you can come see me with Baba.

    Sia sat quietly by the window, staring out into the dark night. The thought of losing her friends burdened heavily on her mind. She had fought so hard to open up to Coco and Leon, to let herself trust them, and now it felt like all of that was slipping away. They were leaving and she would be left alone. Again. It wasn't their fault and she knew that. But it was her heart that betrayed her. It always clung to people who would move on and leave her behind with nothing but empty echoes of their memories. Coco left the room, announcing that she was going to grab more snacks from downstairs. Leon and Sia were left alone. Sia continued to look out of the window until Leon cleared his throat. She turned to see him holding a small box in his hand.“This is for you,” he said, extending it toward her.Sia blinked, surprised. “What is it?”Leon smiled faintly. “Open it and see.”With hesitant fingers, she took the box from his hand and opened it. Her breath caught at the sight inside. It wa

    The birthday party had ended and the Hart family gathered to leave. “Mr. King, we will take our leave now,” Leon said respectfully. Carter frowned slightly at the prospect of their departure. His gaze softened as it rested on Charlotte, “Why don’t you all stay the night?” he suggested, though even he realised how impractical it sounded. He wasn’t ready to let Charlotte leave just yet.Charlotte’s lips curved into a kind smile. “We will come to see you again someday,” she promised. “You better,” Carter replied. He stepped forward, pulling her into a hug that was long enough to draw a few curious glances from those nearby.Not far from the scene, Emily stood with Seraphina with her arms crossed and her expression clouded with irritation. Her brows furrowed as she watched Carter’s unusually affectionate behaviour. “Why is Carter being so affectionate with her? Even Seb seems to be revolving around her all evening. Just who is this girl?” she asked her tone filled with frustration.Se

    Charlotte walked into the room and noticed only a grand piano, nothing else. She looked around, confused. Did not he say that he wanted to show her the birthday gift for his father? Or was he saying it just to spend time with her? Then again. Why would he even want to spend time with her? "Where's the gift you wanted to show me?" she asked Sebastian after a while when she could not control her thoughts.He pointed at the piano with a soft smile. "There."Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "You want to give your dad a piano?"She could not think of another explanation of why would he want to bring her to a room that only had a piano in it. Sebastian chuckled and shook his head. "No," he said, walking toward the piano. He sat down on the stool and placed his fingers on the keys.The music started, and Charlotte stood frozen. The sound was so beautiful and emotional like the piano was telling a story all on its own. She couldn’t describe how it made her feel, but it was like a deep sadness m

    "Sebastian King. Pleased to meet you," Sebastian introduced himself, his voice smooth as he extended his hand to the Hart brothers."Likewise.”Sebastian smiled an enigmatic expression with no hint of malice or curiosity but still carrying an unmistakable poise that made it hard to look away.The introductions concluded just as more guests began to trickle in. Alessia, Leon, and Callum made their way to their designated table, while Charlotte excused herself to take a call. “So?” Leon asked, glancing at his brother. “What do you think?”Callum leaned back slightly, his sharp eyes flickering with thought. Unlike Rhys and Leon, Callum had an uncanny ability to read people. He was the observer, blending into the background while Rhys commanded attention and Leon’s charisma drew people in. It gave him the advantage of seeing what others often missed.“He’s... something,” Callum admitted, his tone measured. “Even I’m a little starstruck, to be honest. The guy isn’t just handsome, he is be

    Today was the day of Carter King’s birthday party. Along with Charlotte, Sia was invited too, and since she decided to attend, Leon was her plus one. It was not a big event but a very intimate birthday party. Still the guests surpased a few hundred. Charlotte was nervous the whole way. Thankfully, she was attending with her brother and best friend. She dragged Callum as her plus one since she didn’t want to appear alone.Sia and Leon entered first.All the while, Sebastian’s gaze was on the door as if he was waiting for someone to enter. When that person arrived, his eyes lit up, but it soon diminished as he saw her holding a man’s arm. The man looked younger, but he couldn’t tell much.When Charlotte appeared to greet Carter, she intentionally didn’t look at Sebastian, but she could feel his gaze bore a hole into her head. As Carter saw Charlotte, he forgot all the guests.He didn’t bother with formalities and hugged Charlotte. “My girl. How are you? It has been months since I last

    From across the room, someone was watching the entire scene unfold with an amused glint in his stormy grey eyes.Sebastian leaned back as his lips curled into a half-smile, clearly enjoying the drama, but there was something else in his gaze. Something deeper and darker.“Mr. King, what are you watching?” one of his business partners asked, noting Sebastian’s lingering attention.Sebastian’s eyes never wavered from the group. “Mr. Jones, I hope you don’t mind, but I just spotted an old friend. Would you mind if I went over and said hello?”“Not at all, we are done here,” Mr. Jones replied, excusing himself as he walked away.Meanwhile, Charlotte, having just made her point to Ronan, turned to rejoin her girls. But as she did, she froze. Her gaze met a pair of stormy grey eyes. Eyes that seemed to burn with a quiet intensity.For a moment, Charlotte thought it was just another mirage, a trick her mind was playing on her. She moved as her steps were hesitant, but those eyes followed her.

    Tonight, the Hart girls had planned a much-needed night out. Charlotte and Abella took the lead, guiding Sia, Kate, and Estelle to one of their favourite clubs. Over the past few days, Estelle had been spending time with Abella, and despite their age difference, the two had become fast friends. So, when Abella invited her to join the group, Estelle didn’t hesitate.Estelle had a naturally chill personality. Even though she was a bit more reserved, she knew how to let loose when the moment called for it.“Boss, I missed you!” Kate exclaimed as she threw her arms around Sia, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go.“Come on, Kate, I’m not your boss here,” Sia said, laughing as she tried to pry Kate off, but Kate clung to her like glue.“I know that! But calling you by your name still gives me the shivers,” Kate grinned mischievously. “You are scary.”Charlotte raised a brow and teased, “How can Sia baby possibly be scary?”The girls burst into laughter as Sia shot them a glare.

    “Where are you taking me, Leon?” Sia asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and amusement. He had covered her eyes with his hands and was carefully guiding her along the path. From the moment they met that morning, she could see the anticipation in his eyes. There was excitement, almost boyish, but beneath it there was a hint of nervousness, as if he wasn’t entirely sure how his secret plan would unfold.“Just a minute,” Leon replied his voice brimming with eagerness. “Once we are there, you will see.”They walked along the winding and uneven path, Sia grumbling at every step. Finally, after what felt like an eternity to her and just a blink to him, he stopped.“We are here,” he announced softly. Then, his voice took on a deeper and more heartfelt tone. “Before you open your eyes, I want to tell you—I love you so much, and I can’t wait to start this new chapter of our life together.”Sia felt her heart skip a beat at his words. Slowly, Leon removed his hands, and she opened her eyes.

    “What do you want to know about her?” Carter asked, his tone measured as he observed his son’s restless demeanour. He wondered if his son recalled anything about her? As much as he knew that stubborn yet kind woman, she would not come to him again. “Who is Charlotte?” Sebastian asked directly, his voice tinged with both curiosity and apprehension.Carter leaned back in his chair, folding his hands together. “She is your wife. Or rather, she was your wife.”Sebastian frowned. “Our divorce isn’t finalized yet,” he corrected.“Great,” Carter said with a small satisfied smile.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, surprised by his father’s reaction. “Are you happy that we are still married?”“You bet I am,” Carter replied with a nonchalant shrug.Sebastian leaned forward, his confusion evident. “As much as I know you, you are an overprotective man. How on earth did you approve of a woman who married me after what was, by all accounts, a drunken mistake?”Carter chuckled, his expression softening.

    “What’s up?” Sia asked, leaning casually against the doorframe. Charlotte was sitting quietly in her room, staring at nothing in particular.“I met Sebastian,” Charlotte said flatly, her voice devoid of any emotion.“Oh?” Sia raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “How did that go?”It was as if she was not sitting with Anne and scheming about Charlotte. Charlotte gave her a look. “Knock it off. I know you already know everything. Whatever you are thinking, it’s not going to happen. He asked me to sign the divorce papers, not to be his wife.”Sia stepped into the room, sitting across from her. “The real question is, do you want to be his wife?”Charlotte’s gaze faltered. “He doesn’t even remember me, Sia. And don’t forget—he loves Emily. Always has, always will.”“Did you ask him if Emily is still in his life?” Sia pressed, tilting her head.Charlotte shrugged. “How does it even matter?”“Coco,” Sia said, “How does it not matter?
