Louis frowned. "You dreamed of my sister?" "Yeah, how could I dream of another girl? She's the one I love," Cayden muttered as if he was grumbling. "But don't worry. Only this blanket is dirty. The bed and bedcover are safe. Now go. I'll take care of this." Louis glanced at the blanket that Cayden was patting. After shuddering, he turned back to the door. Right at that moment, Frank and Kara appeared. Their faces were worried. Cayden now didn't dare to breathe. "Louis, what a coincidence, you're here. Have you seen your sister?" Kara asked quietly. "Emily? Isn't she still sleeping?" Kara shook her head. "Her room is empty." Meanwhile, Frank glanced at Cayden. "Is she in there?" His gaze was sharp. Understanding the meaning behind his father's expression, Louis looked back. "Have you seen my sister?" he inquired with narrowed eyes. Cayden shook his head naturally. "No." Nevertheless, Frank came in. He looked at all sides of the room. His gaze stopped when he reached
After one blink, Emily shook her head stiffly. Those flashes of memory must be dismissed immediately. It could be serious if someone read her mind. "It's nothing, Dad. He was my bodyguard at that time," Emily nodded reassuringly. "Is that so?" Frank folded his arms across his chest. His chin was raised slightly, just like the arch of his eyebrows. "Where were you staying when you arrived in France?" "At your friend's hotel." Frank shifted his gaze towards Cayden. The man had been as stiff as a statue ever since. "Where were you staying at that time?" Receiving a different answer, Frank fell silent for a moment. He seemed to be matching something in his mind. "What about next night?" Emily and Cayden held their breath. They glanced at each other, not daring to say the truth. "Princess?" Emily blinked. She realized that lying would only make things worse. "I was chased by the bad guy on that night," she admitted. "The night you were drugged?" Kara inquired. Emily
"So, you guys did sleep together," Frank sighed with eyes full of resentment and disappointment. "We did sleep in the same bed, but Cayden didn't do anything, Dad," Emily emphasized. She was getting tired of being accused of lying all the time. However, Frank still laughed wryly. "You still defend him?" "I'm not defending, but telling the truth. Cayden just hugged me in a proper way. Only our upper bodies touched. I know he had difficulty holding back. But apparently, he was able to suppress his ego to protect me." Suddenly, Emily stepped back. She returned to Cayden's side, slipping her hand into his. Everyone watching spontaneously froze. They didn't expect Emily to be that brave. "Now, it's up to you to believe it or not. That's the reality. Cayden really loves me that much. I will always be with him even if you forbid me." Frank pensively absorbed those statements. His eyes locked on Emily's reddish eyes. He finally saw her honesty and sincerity. That's what he had bee
"Why build your own house?" Frank said coldly. Emily held her breath. Her hands gripped Cayden tighter. "Dad ..., haven't you agreed with me being with Cayden?" she asked quietly. Frank took a deep breath. "If you don't mind, just live here. This house is quite big, unless you have ten children. Only then will this house feel cramped." Emily widened her eyes. She shifted her gaze repeatedly. Towards Cayden, Louis, and Kara. They all showed the same response. "Does it mean you have approved of us, Dad?" Emily asked in a higher tone. Seeing the twinkle in her eyes, Frank's lips curved slightly. He nodded once. A laughter immediately escaped Emily. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you! You're the best father in the whole world!" Emily jumped to hug Frank. Frank greeted her with a small smile and closed eyes. His heart felt so warm. "You're welcome, Princess. But remember, you still have to know the boundaries. Don't break any rules, understand?" "Yes," Emily nodded quickly. While
Cayden raised the corners of his lips, and nodded. "Yes, Sir. I understand. For me, Emily is also a very precious woman. I will protect her, and make her happy. I will always be there for her." Frank nodded stiffly. "Good. Please keep your words. Don't forget any single of them." "Ready, Sir." "Now where's your notebook? You brought it, right?" Cayden took out a small book and a pen from his jacket pocket. "I brought it." "Good. From now on, take note of all the important points I say." Cayden nodded. He was curious about what Frank wanted to explain. However, when he heard the things Emily liked, his smile grew bigger. Even without being asked, he would take notes enthusiastically. *** After she left Louis' office, Emily immediately walked towards the elevator. She couldn't wait to go home, check what her lover had done when he was with Frank. Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, a guard stopped her. "Sorry, Miss Harper. There's a package for you. I put it on your
Emily and Cayden had been busy for the past few days. Moreover, the day of the photo shoot finally arrived. The results successfully rocked social media. Cayden and Louis were dashing and handsome in every picture. They were popular not only among women, but also among men. The products they advertised sold out on the first day. It pushed the production team to increase their targets. With such a busy agenda, Emily didn't have time to relax. Moreover, she insisted on helping Cayden start his business. Emily only had spare time two weeks later. One of the things she did to relax was to contact her little friend. "Aunt Emily, it's been a long time since you called. I thought you had forgotten me. How are you? You look a little thinner. Was it because you had too much work? But you are more relaxed now, right? The proof is, you can call us. You should have more rest, Auntie. And don't forget to eat. You've made a lot of money from selling clothes. Emily couldn't help but chuckl
"Does my opinion matter? It won't make Cayden or Louis win. By the way, Cayden, I heard that today you will be moving into the Savior office?" Sky forced a smile. She hoped the others wouldn't realize she was trying to change the topic. Cayden nodded. "Yes, the Harpers didn't want to let me fight alone. After considering it, I finally decided to join them in the Savior." "Congratulations, Uncle Cay! You're finally in the same office with Auntie. I hope you two can focus on working, not dating." Sky quickly elbowed her daughter. "Summer, remember your age. You're still too young to say that." "What's wrong with it? Why can't children advise the grown-ups? I'm smart, Mama. I know a lot of things that other kids my age don't know." Feeling amused, Emily laughed again. "Okay, we will remember it well. We will focus on work every time we are in the office." Summer put her hands on her hips, and nodded. "Good. Now, how about Auntie and Uncle go back to work? I have to wash my fa
"Were you panicked when I was nowhere to be seen?" Emily whispered before putting on a pitiful look. "Sorry. I didn't mean to panic you. I just wanted to give you this surprise." Emily stretched out her arms. Her gaze circulated around the photo curtain the western rooftop. When her eyes returned to him, Cayden shook his head in amusement. "What is this, Princess? Can you explain?" Emily smiled again. "All this time, you've done a lot for me. You also gave me a lot of things. Flowers, chocolates, attention, beautiful moments, but I've never given you anything. Because of that ...." Emily looked down. Her hands gripped the box tighter. "I want to thank you. I don't want to just receive. I want to give too." Cayden took a deep breath. His body still tensed, but he didn't want to show it. "Who said you never gave me anything? I have received a lot from you, Princess. Love, attention, sincerity, warmth, happiness. Your family even gave me help and support. All of that can't be
