Chapter 1391

Toph chased Renee to the entrance of the hospital.Renee walked with the grace of the wind, ignoring him like he didn't exist. He could have easily caught up with her in a few steps, but every time he tried, she pushed him away.The current Renee treated Toph as a stranger. His heart grew colder bit by bit.He stopped in his tracks, calling out with a hint of grievance, "Renee! What's gotten into you?"Renee also stopped but did not turn around.Toph had seen this back view countless times—petite and delicate—making him feel a strong urge to protect her. Today, this back view was oddly indifferent. There were only a few steps between them, yet it felt like a vast chasm he could not bridge."Renee, you—"Renee turned slightly. "Do you have something else to say?" Toph circled around to stand before her, his gaze anxious. "Do you have to misunderstand me like this? I... I already sent you messages. I told you I wanted to draw comics and showed Ari my work. Why are you upset agai

Renee looked at Toph and snorted. Of course, she knew exactly what she was saying.After losing her mother, she did a lot of thinking. The more she thought, the more she realized how foolish she used to be. She had been so foolish, giving away things she could have easily held onto. She had been naive, letting others use her as a stepping stone without even realizing it.If her mother hadn't insisted that she stop impersonating Pamela, how would the real Pamela have returned to the Thompsons? How could she ever have a chance to reconnect with Zuko?Her mother had been incredibly kind to them, but they had shown no gratitude!And then there was Melvin. Despite her strong dislike for him, on the day of his execution, she felt like her heart was burdened with a heavy stone.After that fateful day, she had no parents left. She became a true orphan. In this world, she could only rely on others, be pitied by others, and ultimately be considered expendable.Renee suppressed the tears th

Chris was different from the other Hamerton heirs. He did not live at Hamerton Manor but instead bought a small villa not far from the city center. The place was not huge, but he had kept it neat, clearly a trait gained from military training.More importantly, this place was very close to Lena's apartment, just a ten-minute walk away.Zuko chuckled softly."Why are you laughing?" Chris brought fruits and ground a cup of coffee for him. "You come in with that weird smile, and it's kind of scary coupled with your stern face!"Zuko patted his shoulder and gave him a look that said, "As a fellow man, I know what you're thinking.""I'm just thinking you don't usually stay here, do you?""Hmm?""Lena's apartment isn't far from here!""It's not far," Chris answered honestly. "I do go to her place sometimes for a meal or something, but... I don't feel like going lately.""Are you two fighting?"Chris glanced at him and shook his head."Then why?""Lena's been researching diets for

"Zuko, what's gotten into you?" Chris asked.Zuko snapped back to reality and smiled. Whether he was overthinking or not, certain things felt quite odd once they were connected in his mind."Um... nothing," Zuko replied casually. "I'm just a bit hungry. Is there anything to eat at your place?"Chris was also hungry too and absentmindedly answered while scrolling on his phone, "Let's order takeout."Zuko frowned. "I never eat takeout.""Mr. Zuko Hamerton, are you asking me to cook for you?""You know how to cook, right?"Chris glared at him. Not that he would cook for him even if he did!Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.Lena walked in with a smile, carrying a lunchbox. When she saw Zuko there, she nodded slightly with a hint of restraint.Zuko smiled. "Lena, are you telepathically connected to Chris and know he's hungry? So you came to bring us food?""Mm."Lena set the lunchbox on the table. The two hungry men quickly came over, but their excitement turned to disappoi

"Nothing like that!" Zuko's eyes flickered with a complex glint. "I'm just asking on your behalf. If you really marry Lena in the future, your dad will surely ask about it even if I don't!"Chris paused and put down his cutlery with a frown.Lena's expression also changed slightly. She forced herself to remain composed, ate some soup, and then placed the bowl and spoon in the sink.Zuko left after that, leaving only her and Chris in the room.She cleared the table and was about to wash the dishes when Chris' hands suddenly blocked her way."The water's cold. I'll wash them."Lena paused and saw Chris had already turned on the tap, swiftly washing the pots and dishes.She listened to the soothing flow of water, silently observing him. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his strong forearms. The sink was a bit low, making him bend slightly, yet his broad back remained as reassuring as ever like the protective fortress guarding her heart.What about her? Was her background dese

Lena's nose tingled, wanting to cry, but she held back tears. Even in front of her beloved, she aimed to keep her strength.Chris smiled, his finger brushing her cheek, and gently kissed her forehead.Lena whispered, "If you learned about my past someday... would you see me differently?""Why? Was your past that of a fairy reborn?" Chris teased.Lena gave him a playful punch.Chris nuzzled her forehead. "Even if you were a monster, I'd let you devour me.""Why do you trust me so much?""Because you're Lena," he said without pause. "Because... I trust my judgment."-Renee walked into the Thompson Group's cafe once more. Sitting across from her, Jacquelin appeared submissive, offering frequent apologies.Renee's expression remained chilly, her eyes tinged with a touch of scorn, accompanied by a subtle smirk."Ms. Renee, I'm really sorry!" Jacquelin might have knelt to Renee if they were not in a public place. "I... I just really wanted to secure the deal with Ms. Bayer last t

Lina wanted to keep their relationship a secret, so Lena hid it from everyone. Lina also craved Lena's homemade chicken soup, so the latter practiced making it daily until she perfected the recipe. Once she mastered it, she eagerly sent some to Lina.The moment Lena walked into the office, Lina, who had seemed disinterested just moments before, suddenly lit up. She hurried over to Lena, resembling a cheerful sparrow."It's this taste!"Lina could not wait as she opened the container. If Lena had not stopped her, she might have lifted the container and drunk the soup directly.Lena smiled and carefully served her a bowl, placing it on the table. "Take it slowly. It's still a bit hot.""Okay!" Lina licked her lips.She had the full experience of the hardships of being pregnant during this period. Her morning sickness was quite severe, almost reaching the point of throwing up whatever she ate. The Hamertons and Thompsons' chefs tried their best to cook various international delicaci

Zuko hid his face but couldn't resist Chris's competitive spirit. He reluctantly lowered his hand for a few selfies. After snapping the pictures, neither of them wanted to view them.As they playfully bantered, Lena swung the door open and inquired, "Who's there?"Zuko and Chris fell silent instantly.Lena smiled and welcomed them inside. Zuko's meal ended up being shared by all. Lina, who usually didn't eat much, chatted and laughed heartily. Her morning sickness appeared to have vanished.Chris leaned in close to Lena. "Lenny, it's lunch break now. Are you planning to stay here the whole time?"He looked at her meaningfully as he spoke.Understanding his intention, Lena was about to get up to leave, but Lina grabbed her arm."Hold on!" Lina looked at her like a little hungry kitten and smiled shyly. "Lenny... will you come again tomorrow?"Lena's heart melted instantly. Her smile brightened, and she nodded hard. "Yes, yes, I'll come tomorrow. I'll bring you chicken soup again

Chapter 1399

Lena smiled and calmly remarked, "You're right. Barking dogs don't bite. But that's not an absolute rule. I've seen dogs that bark furiously and still bite and give rabies!""What did you say?" Renee narrowed her eyes. "Lena, what do you mean?""Literally what I said." Lena chuckled. "You're a shareholder in the company, so your level of education should be higher than mine. I wasn't speaking in a foreign language just now, so I assume you understand what I said?"Renee widened her eyes, face pale and chest heaving in anger.Lena continued, speaking so much to her for the first time. "Also, Lina is pregnant now, and it's true she should be cautious about what she consumes. However, it seems that I'm not the only one sending 'consumable items', right?"Renee was left speechless by her retorts.Chris looked at Lena smugly, looped his arm around her, and led her toward the door."Lena, stand right there!" Renee shouted, losing control.Chris clenched his fists and struggled to sup

Chapter 1400

During this time, the roles between Renee and Toph appeared to have switched. Previously, he used to send her many messages, while her responses were brief. Nowadays, her messages to him seemed futile, like tossing a stone into the vast ocean. He was reluctant to even reply.Renee started to worry, realizing that what she had said to him that day had gone too far.She had tried calling Toph, but he wouldn't answer. She had sent him an email but received no response. She had even set aside her pride and visited the Hamertons' residence in search of him, only to be greeted by their main butlers. Not even Cordelia and Zephyr were around.It appeared that Toph had severed all lines of communication, completely disappearing from her world.Having exhausted all other options, Renee had no choice but to turn to Lina. She couldn't afford to miss Toph, not in a world filled with cunning and capable heirs like Zuko. Someone as wealthy and unsuspecting as Toph was a rare find."Zuko, I..." T
