Baby was fine with using cutlery, but he tended to make a mess.

Still, it was nothing since there were plenty of servants around the house, and Irene did not have to do anything.

Once Baby had his fill, they left, picking up Tommy around five when school was out.

Irene had both her boys share a room so that they would bond.

Tommy took a bath first, while Baby was too young to do it himself. Irene helped him and wrapped him in a towel before she carried him back into his room.

Finding Tommy reading a book, Irene helped Baby get dry while asking, "What are you reading? You look like you're suddenly older."

Tommy blinked. "But I am the older brother."

Irene pinched his cheek, "Yes, and you're all grown up."

Once she was done helping Baby get dressed, Baby threw himself at Tommy, hugging him and kissing his cheeks, calling out cutely, "Tommy, Tommy…"

"You're heavy." Tommy shoved him.

Irene smiled as she watched them bond and said, "Take care of Baby. I'll take a bath, and then I'

    "Yeah," Isaac replied softly. "Go back to sleep.""I can't sleep now. Let me down," Irene said as she leaned against his shoulder.He lowered his gaze in silence, while she shyly buried her face in his arms.-Back in Zidonia, it was daytime and Lulu was playing with Star outside.She would pick up a toy and move it around as Star's eyes followed it everywhere, and brighter ones were especially effective.As her eyes darted around, her lips would part from time to time, baring the little teeth that just grew out.She tended to drool perhaps because of that, and Lulu wiped her mouth while fastening a napkin around her neck. She would change it once it got wet too, or Star's skin might get red.Babies' skin could be delicate and must be kept dry or rashes would easily occur.Such was how meticulously Lulu was taking care of Star, and the baby was putting on weight too.Her little cheeks were white and fair, making her especially adorable.Meanwhile, Vivian woke up to find the

    While Lulu headed to the washroom, Vivian seized her opportunity.Star was no longer in her cradle when Lulu stepped out. She quickly searched for Vivian, but Vivian was gone too.She tried to check the cameras, only to find that the cameras were destroyed and the footage showed nothing.Though Lulu was flustered and angered, she did not lose her calm, calling the cops first before calling Zachary.Her fingers clenching on her phone, she quickly said as soon as Zachary answered, "Star is missing. Vivian might have taken her away—can you call her?"Zachary's mind went blank for a moment, and he almost spat an expletive right then.In the end, he bore with it since Lulu was Star's mother, and she would never let Star get in harm's way.No matter what happened between Lulu and Zachary, they both loved Star.Taking a deep breath, he asked. "So you're saying Vivian kidnapped her?""Yeah. She's been acting weird all day."Zachary nodded—Lulu must have read Vivian's mind and did not

    Vivian certainly came prepared, even flashing a gloating smile. "Why did you call the cops? Did something happen? Did you lose something?"Even as she smiled, Lulu had to restrain herself. Like Zachary, she was afraid to push Vivian too far, since Vivian could hurt Star. Instead, she would leave all her grievances until after Star was found.However, the officers at Zachary's mansion interrogated Vivian too since she was at the mansion when Star went missing. "What were you doing around 7.30 PM?""I left to have dinner," Vivian replied calmly."Did you notice anything unusual? Did you have line of sight to the baby's crib?""No, taking care of the baby is her job." Vivian pointed at Lulu, smiling. "Oh, so you lost the baby? It's over for you, Wendy Jones—Mr. Slate will punish you for this."Lulu restrained herself against Vivian's gloating, whereas the cops kept interrogating Vivian, their tone menacing. "Are you sure you saw nothing?"Vivian felt a hint of panic but pointed a

    Vivian actually felt uncomfortable from Lulu's stare and averted her eyes as she kept trying to slander Lulu in front of Zachary. "You can't let her stay, Mr. Slate. She's so irresponsible!"Zachary glanced at Vivian with a subtly murderous glare, growling slowly and clearly, "I won't hold back."Vivian flinched for some reason when she saw the look on his eyes.Why was he giving her such a cold, scary look?Still, she quickly assured herself that it was meant for Wendy and not herself."You will leave when Star is found," Zachary said just then."As I should," Lulu said.Vivian was convinced she succeeded thanks to their tacit agreement, and she excused herself to go to the washroom.There, she told her accomplice to bring Star to the nearest precinct—she could not hold on to Star forever anyway, and just having Zachary chase Wendy away was enough.She knew that Zachary would have her head if he knew she was the one who kidnapped Star, and whatever would happen to Lulu would

    Even at this juncture, Vivian was bent on foolishly shifting the blame to Lulu. Grabbing Zachary's arm frantically, Vivian cried, "Wendy must have planned all this, Mr. Slate. Just arrest her—everything will be fine after."Zachary had enough before she could finish and kicked her to the floor, leaving her looking up at him in disbelief even as she clutched her belly. "Mr. Slate…"Zachary refused to speak another word to her and passed Star to Lulu. "Go to the car. I'll deal with this."Lulu held Star firmly in her arms as she nodded repeatedly. "Okay."Vivian was left staring blankly—why would Zachary still trust Wendy now?"Mr. Slate, Wendy was the one who lost your baby!" she cried. "How could you still trust her? You're putting Star in danger!"Zachary completely ignored her, however, and went in the precinct to speak with the officers inside.He could no longer abide with Vivian after what she did to Star, even if Star turned out to be fine. There was no forgiving Vivian

    Lulu sat by Star's crib as Star slept quietly, feeling troubled even as she stared at Star's peaceful little cheeks.She wanted to stay with Star as she grew up—to watch her take her first steps, learn to talk, go to school… eventually becoming an adult and building a happy life of her own.That was the only way she would find comfort, but now… As she gently caressed Star's cheek, she mused, "How much longer can I still take care of you?"Star would eventually grow up and not need anyone to take care of her, and Lulu only had that much time by her side.Still, Lulu smiled. "But I'm satisfied being at your side now. Anything else can wait until later."-Time passed unhurriedly.With Vivian gone, Lulu's life with Star was calm and peaceful.However, Ken Dawson would come by occasionally, saying that Zachary sent him to check on Star. After all, Zachary stopped watching the security cameras since he could guess Lulu would be uncomfortable and had Ken take pictures instead."He

    Zachary chuckled self-deprecatingly as he chugged, his voice soft and slow. "Can't you consider giving Star a complete family?""I can't face her," Lulu replied.She was refusing knowing that she and Zachary could never reconcile.She had been through too much, just as she would not be able to accept being attached to Zachary again.Twirling her glass, she said, "I really loved Martin."Zachary's face turned pale, knowing that Lulu did fall in love with Martin York.Martin had been a man worthy of entrusting one's life to, and Zachary had offered them his blessing before.But Martin was gone now…"I wasn't with him for long, but the days were good and comforting," Lulu continued. "Those days were my happiest, so what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have fought him, or he wouldn't have taken that dangerous mission if he didn't want to keep his distance. He would be alive…""Things happen, and life and death are predestined. It's not your fault," Zachary said.Lulu looked up at hi

    Zachary said, "Finish it."Lulu looked up at him in turn to find his eyes red, seemingly drunk but not exactly.She chugged her glass again and frowned as Zachary filled her glass again.Picking up his own, he asked, "Cheers?"Lulu cooperatively clinked glasses with him, and he said, "Please be honest with me. Do you really not have any feelings for me?'Lulu appeared weirded out for a moment but soon calmed down and replied determinedly, "No.""You're…"'You're so heartless.'Zachary's heart hurt so much that it felt like being stabbed, and he almost blurted his thoughts.Instead, he held back and rose to his feet, wobbling as if drunk. "I wanted to have a heart-to-heart with you, but you just can't be honest… I'm going to bed."With that, he started toward his room, only to knock into the corner of the table as he moved and almost tripped.Lulu went up, intending to help him to his feet, but soon realized that doing that would make things even more awkward.She held back,

    Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

    Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

    Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

    "What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

    If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

    Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

    Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

    "I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

    Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
