Daniella bit her hand as she explained, "That's the only name I know so far. I don't even know what he looks like, and he's incredibly mysterious. I don't dare to disobey him at all. His abilities go beyond my imagination."Casey ridiculed, "What nonsense! Are you kidding me? There isn't such a person in Angelbay!""You're just narrow-minded," Daniella mocked. "Do you think you're more capable than Evan?"Casey retorted, "I just don't have any power. Otherwise, he can't be compared to me in the least!""How arrogant!" Daniella snorted. "You're the most arrogant person I've ever met, always thinking you're great. Didn't you see how Evan has abused you? You're so conceited!"Casey snapped, "Do you want me to beat you up again, Daniella?!"Daniella smirked in disdain. "Look at you. Half of your body is in a cast. Your threat is empty!"Casey glared at Daniella. "Won't I recover? You'd better behave yourself, Daniella."Daniella stared at Casey coldly as she slowly walked toward hi
Liora playfully nudged Evan with her head while he smiled, his gaze filled with adoration. "Sure, if you don't want to go."Hearing this, Liora looked up. "Really? I don't have to go to school?"Evan replied, "There's a condition.""What is it?" Liora blinked. "Tell me."Evan suggested, "You can either lose your phone or go to school."Liora's face sank. "Well, I'll go to school then because I don't want to lose my phone.""Did you have fun late at night yesterday?" Evan asked."No," Liora mumbled. "Ty won't let me.""But who secretly fished out her phone to play with it when we were asleep?" Tyler's voice came from outside the bathroom.Stiffened, Liora was about to deny it, but Evan interrupted her. "Looks like you've learned how to lie. I didn't teach you well.""Ah?" Vexed, Liora looked at Evan and hurriedly said, "No, Daddy. I won't play at night again, and I'll go to school."Satisfied, Evan smiled. "Okay, don't break your word."Caroline pondered something briefly wh
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.Greta held Axel's hand while Neil did the same with Tyler. However, Caroline had Liora in her arms. They walked toward the hospital.Tilting her head, Liora looked at Caroline. "Didn't you say that you wanted me to be independent, Mommy? Why did you carry me the moment we got to the hospital?"Caroline remained silent.It was because she had a feeling that something bad would happen to Liora if she didn't hug her tightly. Liora had seen some supernatural entities at the hospital the other day.Caroline casually made an excuse. "The hospital is too large, and I'll only carry you for a bit."Holding Caroline's neck, Liora chuckled. "You love me the most, Mommy!"Smiling, Caroline asked, "Can you still see things that others can't, Lia?"Liora pouted as she thought about it. "Are you talking about ghosts, Mommy?"Stunned, Caroline nodded."Only sometimes..." Liora said with some regret.Caroline recalled what Evan had told her
Grayson's eyes lacked emotion when he saw Caroline, treating her like a mere stranger.After a moment of silent observation, he weakly uttered, "Come here."Caroline placed Liora beside Tyler and approached the bed.Neil made way, holding Caroline's hand, and allowed her to take his spot.A long sigh escaped Grayson as Caroline sat down, and his listless eyes became blurry. "You've suffered a lot."However, Caroline, unmoved, replied, "Yes."Grayson confessed, "I'm old and tend to be stubborn and blinded. I guess you don't want to hear me repent, but I've got to say something to you. I am sorry."Caroline hung her head and whispered, "Okay, I'll take it."Grayson tilted his head, focusing his gaze on Caroline. After a while, he slowly broke into a smile. "Ellie's daughter looks so much like her."Then he glanced at the three children behind Caroline. "They are your kids."Caroline turned to the children, nodded at them, and signaled them to come over.The children rose from
Eleanor glanced around, sighing helplessly as she fixed her gaze on Liora."Why didn't you listen to me, dear?" she asked.Naively, Liora extended her hands toward Eleanor. "Are you my grandmother?"Eleanor nodded. "Yeah, dear. You're so pretty, and your brothers are so handsome. I love you guys so much.""Why did you come here out of the blue, Grandma?" Liora continued with her questions.Eleanor explained gently, "I'm here to take your great-grandfather away.""You're going to take him away?" Liora tilted her head. "Where is he going?""A place where he can meet up with your great-grandmother," Eleanor added."No!" Liora shook her head. "You're so pretty and gentle. I want you to stay, Grandma!""No, I can't, dear. We have our world, and we can't stay with you guys, or you guys will have to pay an unimaginable price.""A price?" Liora was puzzled. "What do you mean? Why can't they see you, Grandma?"Eleanor looked down. "It's because I don't belong to this world."Bending
"Anything else?" Axel asked. Liora sighed, hands on hips. "Grandma said my brothers are very handsome, and I'm very cute!"She didn't mention the 'passing over' Eleanor talked about.Even though she didn't understand it, she knew not to talk about it casually. Hence, she kept the promise with sealed lips.-On the way home, Liora gestured repeatedly at Caroline's face.Caroline asked, "What are you gesturing, Lia?"Liora replied, "This is how Grandma gestured earlier! She looked like she wanted to touch you but didn't."Caroline was stunned. "Did she really do that?""Yes! Grandma is really pretty, Mommy. Her hair was curly and almost reaching her waist. Her eyes looked exactly like yours! However, she cried red tears." Liora threw herself into Caroline's arms.Caroline was astounded by Liora's description and confused about the red tears."Did Grandma mention she will come visit us again?" Caroline asked.Liora shook her head and shut her eyes. "No, Mommy. I'm tired…"Ya
"Some things need clarification as soon as possible. Avoiding it won't be good for you or Paige," Evan advised."I know. I just don't know how to bring it up," Alex admitted."Start by addressing the issues around Azure and the baby to minimize biases against Paige," Evan suggested.Alex was stunned. "Are you saying I should tell my parents that Azure killed their grandchild? That won't work! In fact, my mother didn't even think Paige's baby was mine!"Evan sneered. "Is that the end of it if they say it's not yours? Alex, are you going to step up and act like a man?""How am I not doing it? I went to meet Azure, didn't I?""Have you? You claim you love Paige deeply, but you don't even have the courage to defend her."Alex was rendered speechless."Remember to come to the engagement party tomorrow," Evan reminded.Alex was stunned. "Which engagement party?""My engagement with Caroline," Evan clarified, walking over to the table and sitting down.Alex's eyes widened in shock.
Evan nodded and joined Caroline as they walked into the living room.Meanwhile, the three children descended the stairs, and Kenny ended his call.He told Caroline, "G, Evan was supposed to do this, yet I'm the one doing it now. Both of you are getting engaged, but I seem like the main character of this event."Caroline distributed forks to the children. "Who mentioned that the higher the quality of the wine, the better?"Kenny sniggered. "That was me!""Who suggested that I change the wine then?""That was me too.""Why bother with the snide comments if that's the case?"Kenny said, "I don't fancy the wine arranged by the hotel. Evan, can you put a bit of effort into this?"Evan darted him a look. "You're still here, helping yourself to the work, right?"Kenny said, "Fine then. I can never win an argument with you and your spouse.""Spouse…" Caroline blushed and grabbed a piece of apple, stuffing it into Kenny's mouth. "Keep quiet, will you!"Evan told Caroline, "I hope yo
