"Oh, sure. But should I have Frances come to tell you instead? She took care of Nick more when he was little." Daniel looked cheerful. He was clearly in a good mood from seeing me. I shook my head. "Frances doesn't know what I want to know." "Ari, have you heard something from someone? Those are j
Could the Hawk family have not taken care of him separately from his mother? Even though I had a thousand questions, I did not interrupt Daniel as he was lost in his memories. He continued, "After his mother passed away and Nick gradually grew up, his grandmother became even worse. "'If it weren't
As I gripped the phone stiffly, my heart trembled uncontrollably. On the phone, Nicholas continued to question me anxiously. "How could you leave without saying anything? I thought you had left me again!" Nicholas was angry. His tone was harsh as he was upset at my sudden departure. The more I tho
Last night, Nicholas and I returned to Coral Villa. When Yasmine found out, she scolded me and asked if I was crazy. "You're going back there when you should be avoiding that scheming stepsister of his? She can be dangerous when she loses it!" I smiled. But where else could I go? Our new house wit
I knew Nicholas was not easily fooled, so the first thing I did after landing was turn on my phone. Sure enough, his messages came flooding in like rapid gunfire. After being together for so long, even his way of texting had started to resemble Claudia's. "Why so sudden?""How long will you be gon
Nicholas's expression changed quickly. It took just a second for him to regain his composure. He came over, took the small suitcase from my hand and hugged me. "You walk so quietly. You're like a cat." I pushed him away and looked into his eyes. "If not, I wouldn't have heard your phone call." Ni
"It's not that!" I pushed him away and crouched down again to continue packing. I felt a burning gaze on the top of my head as Nicholas stared hard at me. Under his scrutinizing gaze, I could not even lift my head. I was afraid that the moment I looked up, I would reveal even more emotions. I had
I looked at him with a smile full of meaning. "Okay, okay. I believe you." Nicholas' eyes stung inexplicably. In his eyes, I should not be like this. I should be the one waiting for him every day, and the one whose eyes saw only him when he appeared. I should be the one who approached him shyly yet
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
