Issac had quickly finished work abroad and rushed back, but he had never expected to be greeted by this scene.

Winding up the window, he kept his voice in control as he said, "Drive."

The chauffeur quickly drove off.

Still, Tommy leapt happily into Isaac's arms once he reached home. "Papa."

Scooping Tommy up in his arms, he asked, "Do you miss me?"

Tommy nodded. "Yes."

"Which part of you miss me?"

"Here," Tommy said, patting his chest and giving him a peck on the cheek, leaving his face wet and stinky.

Isaac frowned. "What did you eat tonight?"

Tommy tilted his head in thought. "Soup and food."

Isaac almost laughed. What would he be eating if not food?

"Anything else?"

Tommy racked his head. "Oh. I also ate poop. It was very sweet."

Isaac was speechless.

He ate… poop?!

Still, Mrs. Watson heard that, and quickly explained, "It's a chocolate croissant."

Isaac smacked Tommy's little rump. "You almost scared me there."

Tommy giggled and wrapped his little arms around his

    Isaac lowered his eyes, leveling a penetrating gaze into hers.Irene smiled. "What? What's that look for?"She stood on the balls of her feet, wrapping her hands around his neck, and kissed him.The touch left him stiffening and flinching.She gently pulled away and murmured, "Are you upset?"Before he could answer, however, she said, "About the diary…"Isaac's eyes narrowed subtly, as if he did not expect her to mention it on her own.At the same time, Irene kept her arms around his neck, and brushed her chin against his chest since he was that tall. "I must've been fourteen when I wrote it, but I was too young and stupid to understand love, and at the phase when I'm curious about the opposite sex. I don't remember Seth after I left that phase.""Really?" Isaac was skeptical."Yes. You were acting weird, and I somehow thought the diary was the reason, so I took a look. That's why I know what upset you—anyway, I threw it away already since it doesn't even have any sentimental

    The man in the lead said, "We're from a security company. Mr. Jefferson asked us to make a delivery.""Oh, come in…" Mrs. Watson muttered.She was actually intimidated by their appearance and was relieved when she actually realized that they were not actually thugs. As Irene looked up, the men opened one of the suitcases on the coffee table. "Ms. Spencer, yes? Please confirm you have received these items.""What are they?" she asked."Feel free to take a look." The men spun the suitcases to her end, and Irene was left raising her brow when she was what was inside.She did not know her jewelry, but she could tell that the set lying in the suitcase there was worth a fortune.The man introduced, "It's an antique, and once belonged to the royal household of Yvesia. Mr. Jefferson acquired this set of jewelry in a Minervan auction for 3.8 million dollars. He entrusted it to our company to bring it safely here to Zidonia."Irene had no idea what all of that meant, but the price tag

    Erin darted inside her car the instant she saw Isaac. She did not even want to make eye contact, though that was less fear than her uneasiness with his coldness.She knew her place and certainly did not want him to misunderstand that she was a social climber, which was why keeping her distance was the best policy for her.For Isaac's part, he glanced at her car but did not say a thing.Lulu greeted him before leaving, while Irene walked up, linking arms with him as he headed inside the mansion."Did you send something in today?""Do you like it?" Isaac asked, watching her reaction.Irene's lips curled up briefly—she would be lying if she said she did not like it because no woman disliked sparkling jewelry.However, she did not love it that much and was perfectly without it anyway.What made her happy was Isaac's sincerity—it was obvious he was sincere."It's too expensive, so I wanted to keep it inside the safe in your study, but I didn't know the code, so I had to wait for yo

    As Irene turned around, she smiled at Isaac. "It's important to you. I understand.""I'm not hiding it from you," he explained. "It's just something pointless…""Really?" Irene asked pointedly—she remembered his horrific outburst because she touched it. While she did not care about that before, she would be lying if she said the same still applied now."You've been young before too, Isaac. Maybe you had a crush before—""Enough." He cut her short, frowning slightly just then.He seemed… angry.Why? Because she mentioned his unspeakable past? And he still minded it now?"Do you have another woman in your heart, Isaac Jefferson?" she asked solemnly."No," he said, denying it.Irene was clearly skeptical, however—why else would he be overreacting? Who could it be? What could they have given him that he would care so much about that?"Well, you know the real answer to that. I wish that we are being honest with each other, and have faith in each other—but if the day comes that

    Isaac's mind traveled to the past even as he spoke—he would never forget that day no matter how long had passed since.On the other hand, Irene seemed to grow in anticipation as she looked at the chest she was holding, as if realizing something.She slowly opened it and froze!That was the silver crucifix she lost!She remembered it clearly—her grandfather had given it to her, and she had it on since she was a year old!It was not pure silver either, but almost a dirty hue, and the sculpting of the J-man was absolutely lifelike.As she picked it up and gripped it in her hands, Isaac never noticed that because he was caught in his own reverie.He was afraid of water a while after that, but he was Isaac Jefferson—he would conquer any fear and certainly not allow himself to develop any phobia! "A girl saved you, right? Actually, it was not her. Her grandfather arrived in time too, or she might have drowned together with that boy in that pool."Isaac looked up, his dark pupils tw

    Ricky Spencer told her, "Waking you is my job."Irene frowned, speechless.Ricky had come the other day, apologizing for letting his anger get to him. He said that he should have taken her job offer and was willing to take it if he was given a second chance… But it turned out that this is his job?Amused, Irene said, "Isaac arranged for this? Waking me is your job now?""Mr. Jefferson also asked me to take you to the wedding hall. The decorations are mostly in place, so you may see if it's to your liking. Also, your schedule for the day is adjustable—I merely decided on my own to wake you at this hour, though that's more your fault for being a sleepyhead."Irene gave him a look. "Mr. Jefferson…?""He's my boss from now on, so that's how I'm supposed to address him," Ricky said. "I'd rather not be given privilege or look like I got the job through my connections, since people would doubt my ability. Either way, this will be the start of my illustrious career."Irene thought she

    Ricky could not quite keep up, but he was already following Irene despite his confusion. "What are we going to do?"They were not professional crisis negotiators—they were not saving anyone even if they went up there. Moreover, with so many journalists waiting downstairs, they might get dragged into it."Don't you find it weird?" Irene gave Ricky a look after they entered the elevator."What's weird?" Ricky did not get it—perhaps he was not as sharp because it did not really concern him."All those journalists were already waiting before that person did it. Where could they have gotten the news?"Irene knows that it was no coincidence because this was not an apartment block or residential area.If they really wanted to kill themselves, why did they have to pick Globe Tower? Moreover, everyone was aware that she and Isaac would have their wedding here, but would it really go on as scheduled if there was a jumper the day before? Certainly not!"Right," Ricky understood then, b

    Robin's abrupt move caught Irene off guard and she could not quickly free herself, allowing Robin a firm hold."Let go!"Ricky dashed up to pry Robin's hand off, but she caught Irene's hand the instant she let go. Raving mad, Robin was bent on taking Irene with her!"You're crazy!" Ricky snapped, infuriated by her frenzy. "Just die alone if you want to!""No, I'll take her with me to my grave!" Robin cried, her strength bolstered by her madness.Ricky was afraid of shoving Robin's hand because she might pull Irene's hair off, and he kept bellowing furiously, "Let go!""Hahaha!" Robin laughed maniacally. "No, I won't!" Ricky narrowed his eyes, then suddenly leaned downward and bit down on Robin's hand!"Argh!" Robin cried out in pain.Ricky seized the moment to pry Robin's hand off and push her away, causing her to stumble backward in pain and knock into the windowsill.Ricky then gave her yet another firm push.

    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
