The new day had begun. This morning, Amora was back to her usual routine, getting Rayden ready for school.

“Come on, Ray. Did you forget anything?” Amora asked her son, who had overslept today.

The day before, Rayden spent the entire day at the amusement park with Kimmy and the Moonstone couple. At first, he didn’t want to go, but Kimmy kept insisting, and her parents also convinced him to join them.

In the end, Rayden reluctantly went along and ended up having so much fun with Kimmy that he lost track of time. They went on almost every ride in the park.

He only got home after sunset and was so exhausted that he overslept this morning despite Amora’s attempts to wake him up.

Amora was also running late. She had dozed off on the living room couch while waiting for Regis to come home. But to her surprise, he never returned that night. She only saw his message when she woke up in the middle of the night.

Regis didn’t explain why he didn’t come home. Amora assumed he must have had some im

    Amora’s eyes flickered toward Albert, who was still waiting for her decision. However, she kept talking and asked, “Mr. Parker, as a man, what do you think makes a man angry for no reason?”Albert was momentarily stunned. He hesitated before asking, “Are you referring to the Young Master?”Amora cleared her throat awkwardly. “Is it that obvious?”“Forgive me, Madam. I spoke out of turn,” Albert replied, worried that his presumptive remark might offend her.“Forget it, Mr. Parker. I just want to know ... has your boss ever been angry without a reason?” Amora probed. She thought perhaps Albert, who had been with Regis for a long time, would understand him better.Albert pondered for a moment and said, “I apologize, Madam. I can’t read his mind, but in my opinion, his anger always has a reason. For instance, if we fail to carry out our duties or upset him because ...”“Because of what?” Amora raised an eyebrow.“Because you pay more attention to other people than to him,” Albert answered

    Blossom Restaurant Encounter“Welcome, Ma'am.”As she arrived at Blossom Restaurant, Amora was greeted by one of the staff. The Greek-inspired eatery had gained quite the reputation among food enthusiasts and was always bustling during lunchtime.That's why Amora decided to come early to secure a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t have private rooms, meaning she had to sit in the common area with other diners.The server led Amora to a table and handed her the menu.“Would it be okay if I ordered later? I'm waiting for my husband,” Amora said politely.“Of course, Ma'am. Please call me when you're ready to order.”Amora nodded slightly and smiled as the server left her table.She pulled out her phone and contacted Xavier to ask him to pick up Rayden. Since Rayden was training with Xavier that day, it was convenient timing.“I have a little errand to run, so I’ll pick him up after his training with you. Thanks so much, Xavier. Sorry for troubling you so often,” Amor

    Noel's request wasn't difficult for Amora to grant, but she was unsure how to agree because she worried that Regis wouldn't be happy to see Noel.However, Amora still felt guilty about Noel thinking that she had blocked his number."What's up? Are you waiting for someone?" Noel asked when he noticed the confusion on her face.In fact, Noel had been observing her for quite some time from his seat, which was only three tables away. When he saw no one approaching Amora, he decided to leave his table and approach her.Amora gave a small nod. "Yeah, but he hasn't shown up yet," she replied."A guy?" Noel asked curiously.A faint smile appeared on Amora's lips as she glanced at her phone, noticing that it was already five minutes past the agreed time.Regis had said he'd be there in ten minutes, but the guy hadn't even shown up yet."Sorry, I thought you were having lunch alone, and I wanted to invite you to join me," Noel muttered, a bittersweet smile on his face.Amora could see his genui

    Regis's eyes were fixed on his phone screen, his cold expression seemingly capable of freezing the very ground he stood upon.Mark could only swallow hard, not daring to utter a single word. His boss's mood had soured dramatically after receiving a message moments earlier.Just moments ago, as they left the Royal Dragon office building, Regis's face had been beaming. Mark had no idea that a single photo sent by Pedro could transform that serenity into a rumbling storm!Regis's gaze remained glued to the photo of a man he knew all too well—Noel Ritter, sitting with his wife. Regis truly couldn't believe that Amora would bring another man to the lunch he had been eagerly anticipating since that morning.Regis's grip on his phone tightened as he saw Amora's smile directed at Noel in the photo sent by one of his subordinates.The heat of anger spread through his chest, making Regis feel like he would explode if he didn't read the message Amora had just sent him.‘Want us to get acquainted

    “You’ve changed, Amora.”Noel's voice snapped Amora out of her focus on her phone. She had been anxiously waiting for a message from Regis, but nothing had come through about her husband.Her brows furrowed as she glanced at Noel. “Changed how, Noel?”Noel's lips curved into a perfect smile as he saw the confusion on her face. "I mean, you've become beautiful, Amora," he teased.Amora cleared her throat awkwardly, turning her gaze away from him. “That’s a lame joke, Noel,” she replied.“I’m not joking. I still can’t get over how stunning you looked at the party the other night. I barely recognized you,” Noel said earnestly, his eyes fixed on her.Amora wasn’t sure how to react other than offering a faint smile. “Come on. Flirting like this isn’t your style, Noel,” she teased.Noel chuckled softly. Even he found it strange, but he wanted to be honest about how he saw her.“Alright,” Noel conceded, taking a sip of his frappe.“By the way, what are you up to these days, Amora? I keep for

    “Who dared to anger someone as important as you? Do they not know who you are?" Noel teased, lightly patting Regis's arm.Amora nervously bit her lip. She wanted to shut Noel up for not understanding the situation. Although Regis's face showed a faint smile, Amora knew that her husband was actually trying to hold back his anger.Amora felt strange about herself. She didn't know when she could understand Regis's thoughts just by looking at his expression even though the man didn't say a word.Amora suspected that her husband's anger was related to Noel. However, she still couldn't guess what Regis really wanted to do."Young Master Lorenzo, I didn't expect you and Noel to know each other," Amora said, finally having a chance to speak.She tried to match Regis's act, pretending along with him, but her effort only seemed to darken his mood further.‘What’s his problem? Isn’t he the one who wanted to pretend?’ Amora grumbled internally, frustrated by his reaction."He's my cousin, Amora,"

    Noel warmly accepted Laura's handshake when she extended her hand and introduced himself. "Noel Ritter," he said."I know who you are, Sir Ritter," Laura quipped with a wide smile."Oh, really?" Noel looked surprised by the comment from the girl he had just met today."You probably don’t remember me, but I was one of the volunteers with you after the earthquake in Peru four years ago," Laura explained.Back then, Laura was still a university student chosen to represent her school in delivering charity donations to earthquake victims. It was during that mission she noticed Noel tirelessly treating the injured without taking a break.Laura admired him, though they never got acquainted. She had no idea that this was the same Mr. Ritter her friends frequently talked about.Recently, Beatrix Torres—Noel Ritter’s mother—had become a hot topic among prominent families. She was actively seeking a suitable woman to become her son’s partner.Beatrix had once proposed an arranged marriage for La

    "Cough! Cough!"Laura’s question made Amora choke on her food instantly. Noel hurried to grab her a drink, which she sipped slowly.“Thank you,” Amora murmured as she stopped Noel from gently patting her back.“I’m so sorry, Miss Lysander. I didn’t mean to surprise you with my question,” Laura apologized sincerely.Amora shook her head slightly. “No, it was my fault. I just wasn’t careful while eating,” she mumbled.Amora’s eyes drifted toward Regis, who looked completely indifferent, as though nothing had happened. Her heart sank. She had hoped for even the slightest hint of concern from her husband, but she realized this was just how Regis Lorenzo truly was.What Amora didn’t know was that Regis’s calmness was anything but ordinary. He was fighting hard to keep his composure, though it would have been much easier for him to explode in anger than to hold it all in.“So … are you two really a couple?” Laura asked again, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. She smiled mischievously, glanci

    Amora glanced at Alicia briefly. She could see the worry in her husband's younger sister's eyes. The girl looked anxious about the question Regis had asked Amora. Secretly, Amora held back a smile."Just say it, Amora. No need to worry," Regis urged, still interrogating her. His instincts told him there was no way Alicia had done nothing to his wife.Based on what he knew about Alicia, she always caused some kind of trouble every day. Even though their father’s guards had been keeping a close eye on her lately, today she had finally been freed from her punishment. Regis was convinced that his sister had already done something to Amora."Did she say something rude to you?" Regis guessed, making Alicia even more anxious.Alicia thought she had already lost the battle. Her brother clearly wasn’t on her side. She could only curse him in her heart.She assumed Amora would complain to Regis about how she had accused her of being a thief or an intruder, along with all the mischief she had ca

    "Brother!"Alicia’s loud voice instantly made Regis look up from his phone. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Alicia running toward him, only to throw her arms around his neck like a clingy little kid.Regis froze in shock, then quickly ended his phone call. He pushed Alicia’s forehead with his index finger, forcing her to let go."What are you doing here, Alicia?" Regis asked, his gaze sharp and suspicious.He was clearly confused. He had specifically asked his secretary to bring Amora, not Alicia."Huh! You’re not happy to see me?" Alicia pouted, annoyed.Regis didn’t answer. Instead, his attention shifted as he noticed Amora walking in behind Monica."Miss Grant, why did you let someone who has no business here just waltz in like that?" Regis snapped, instantly interrogating Monica.Alicia’s face darkened. She had expected her brother not to welcome her warmly, but she hadn’t thought he would go as far as embarrassing her in front of Amora.She had come here hoping he would ta

    "What? Are you scared now?" Alicia teased.She smirked arrogantly as she saw Amora's shocked expression after realizing her identity. She lifted her chin slightly, asserting her status."I don’t think I have anything to be afraid of, Miss Lorenzo," Amora replied, quickly regaining her composure.Alicia clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You haven’t forgotten what you did to my shoes, have you? I haven’t settled the score with you yet!" she snapped.Alicia wasn't about to let go of the grudge she held against Amora. The incident still irritated her to this day.Amora exhaled slowly before responding, "Didn’t I clean them and return them? What more do you want from me?""Leaving them at a café counts as returning them? You said you wanted to apologize sincerely, but what? You're such a liar," Alicia scoffed, pursing her lips in disapproval.Amora had left the shoes at the café with a waiter because she couldn’t afford to wait any longer for Alicia. Thanks to that girl, she had been late

    Amora kept her gaze fixed on the girl she was quite familiar with. The girl hadn’t even noticed her presence in the elevator yet."Phew! Good thing it didn't close," The girl muttered, her face glistening with sweat.Her eyes locked onto the elevator panel, confirming that it was headed to the 30th floor, just as she wanted. "Thank you," she said, turning to Amora, who was still staring at her in disbelief.The girl furrowed her brows as she looked at Amora's face. Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock, and she pointed a finger at Amora."W-why are you here?" The girl asked.Amora didn’t answer. Instead, she threw the question back at her. "I should be the one asking you that. How did you get into this elevator?"The girl looked confused. She glanced around, double-checking that she hadn’t entered the wrong place before turning her attention back to Amora."Hey, why are you questioning me? I can go wherever I want! Besides, how did you even get in here? This is the executive elevator!"

    Amora had just arrived in front of the Royal Dragon office building. She gazed in awe at the grand structure towering before her. The gleaming glass panels reflected the sunlight so intensely that she had to squint her eyes.This was the first time she had ever set foot in the office where her husband worked. The exterior design exuded luxury, leaving anyone who saw it mesmerized—including Amora herself.Even the Lysander family’s corporate building, which she had visited in the past, was nothing more than a speck of dust compared to Royal Dragon’s skyscraper.Seeing the opulence and grandeur before her, Amora suddenly felt nervous. She had actually wanted to decline Regis’s invitation for lunch at his office, but since he couldn’t leave work today, she had no choice but to comply.‘Just how wealthy is the Lorenzo family?’ Amora wondered, stunned.Her confidence seemed to waver in the face of such overwhelming luxury. Memories of her past struggles resurfaced—how she had applied to se

    "Looks like there’s some progress." Estelle teased Amora, who looked flustered in front of her.Amora sighed in annoyance, turning away to avoid her friend's interrogation. “I don’t see anything wrong with us doing it. We’re both adults, after all.”A soft chuckle escaped Estelle’s lips. Once her laughter subsided, she said, “I’m really happy to see how things are going for you, Amora. I truly believe this time, you’ll find happiness with Young Master Lorenzo.”Estelle genuinely meant it. Deep down, she still felt guilty for not being able to help Amora seven years ago. She sincerely hoped Amora would be happy this time. She had endured enough hardship in the past.“Do you realize how much your husband loves you? Even Gino couldn’t believe it. Regis Lorenzo—the man who’s always been indifferent to women—actually fell to his knees for you. You’re amazing, Amora.”Estelle’s praise made Amora smile in amusement. She, too, never expected to end up with a man she once found terrifying.“St

    "Ray is coming to the Waverly family's grandchild’s birthday party, right, Amora?" Estelle asked, momentarily diverting Amora's attention from checking her schedule for the next client meeting."Yeah, why?" Amora continued organizing her documents."Lately, Kimmy keeps talking about Ray. I'm getting a headache from hearing about him nonstop, and your son is truly a clone of your husband," Estelle sighed, describing how indifferent Rayden was whenever Kimmy tried to talk to him.Amora gave a small smile. "I'll remind him later. He’s probably just too shy to express himself in front of your daughter," she said, defending Rayden.Amora knew Rayden would never intentionally hurt Kimmy, even though Estelle’s daughter could be quite a handful. As his mother, she understood that Rayden deeply respected and cared for women, regardless of their age."Don't overthink it, Estelle. They don’t have siblings, so maybe Kimmy sees Ray as one. Plus, they go to the same school and are even in the same

    "Welcome to Eternal Bliss. I hope you can see this place as your second home and help me create satisfying events for our clients in the future."Amora delivered her welcome speech to the ten new employees she had just recruited. Today marked their first day in the small office she and Estelle had recently purchased."This place just finished undergoing some minor renovations yesterday, so a few things might still be missing. I hope you can be patient with us and help identify anything that needs to be added," Estelle addressed the young newcomers in front of her.Though they were fresh graduates, their teamwork experience and skills were unquestionable. Amora herself had conducted the interviews and a short test to assess their capabilities."Even though our business is small and just starting, I believe that with all of us working together, we’ll grow and provide the best for our clients," Estelle added, motivating her new employees. The room quickly filled with applause and excited

    The sound of knocking pulled Regis’s attention away from his laptop screen. "Come in," he said.Rayden’s face peeked out from behind the office door. The boy had come to fulfill Regis’s request from earlier."Just come in, Ray," Regis encouraged when he noticed his son’s hesitation.Rayden nodded and stepped inside. He had just finished showering and changed into his pajamas."Are you busy, Dad?" Rayden asked, eyeing the cluttered desk."Not really," Regis replied, motioning for his son to come closer.But Rayden remained standing before the desk, his eyes scanning the room. He rarely entered this office since it was usually locked.Rayden knew his father didn’t like unauthorized people entering the room, likely due to the important documents inside."What did you want to talk about?" Rayden asked, getting straight to the point.Regis closed his laptop and looked directly at his son. "I heard from your mom that you found out I’m your biological father."Rayden didn’t react.
