“What your favorite foods are, what your favorite activities are, where your favorite places to have fun are... I’ll remember all of it.”There was sincerity in Caleb’s eyes, and his handsome face seemed to have the same sincerity Avery had.Avery seemed to be touched by his words. He frowned, deep in thoughts.Caleb tried to touch his hand. Avery immediately moved away, but in truth, he didn’t hate Caleb touching him that much.It was a good beginning, Caleb thought to himself in glee. “I requested for this limited-edition action figure to be made. Do you like it?”He reflected upon his actions last night, and then immediately asked his men to find all information on Avery. He needed to hit the boy’s sweet spot, so he asked someone to make Avery’s favorite action figure.While Avery was smart, he was still a child in the end.

The expression on Caleb’s face instantly turned gloomy, but the speaker didn’t notice him.Ember was also getting a headache when she noticed Caleb’s sudden anger. She didn’t expect that everything would happen at the same time. She then gave Lugh an apologizing look.The salesman was still trying to sell, as if he couldn’t see the conflict brewing between them.Caleb took a step forward and instantly got closer to Ember, shortening their distance. Then, he rejected the salesman. “No thanks, since this man is an outsider. I’m not so generous to let my wife take a picture with someone else.”Only then did the salesman seem to have realized what was going on, and looked at them with wide eyes. Then, he quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t know.”And then, as if he was trying to salt Caleb’s wounds, the salesman was still mumbling something as he left. “That’s weird. Those two look more like husband and wife.”Caleb was at the verge of exploding, but Avery was giggling

Once the pinky-promise was complete, the simple vow had been made.Caleb let out a laugh and picked Avery up as he tried to learn from other fathers, and did his best to let Avery sit on his shoulders.It was also something fresh for Avery, as he had never experienced watching things from this angle. He tried his best to look further, and that was how the two of them chatted and laughed as they went back to Ember and Lugh.Ember was feeling quite puzzled to see the two of them getting so close in such a short time. Had Caleb managed to turn Avery against them?Caleb put down Avery, and the boy quickly ran to her side. Then, he gave her an ice-cream, presenting it like it was a treasure. “Mommy, have some ice-cream! You like vanilla the most, right?”“Thank you, honey,” Ember said with a smile as she took it. Then, she gave Avery a kiss on his forehead.Avery gave Lugh the chocolate ice-cream meant for him. Once they were almost done with the ice cream, he said, “Mommy, let’s go t

Chapter 44

Avery happily came back with some fried chicken, and began to share them with Ember. He then turned to Lugh with a smile. “Uncle Lugh, I want to eat some carbohydrates. I think there’s someone selling potato wedges over there!”How could Caleb allow the godfather to outshine the biological father when he was around? He immediately stood up and said, “I’ll get some for you.”Lugh didn’t want to be left behind. He pinched Avery’s nose, and said, “I’ll go get some for you. Stay here and protect your mommy!”And so, buying the carbohydrates turned from Lugh’s task to Lugh and Caleb’s task. Two tall and handsome men walking side by side was very attractive.Avery was still a child. While he was eating, his eyes began to shine with interest when he saw a snack booth with a spinner wheel not far away. “Mommy, look! Don’t they look delicious?”As his mother, of course Ember knew very clearly what he was thinking. She gave his head a light knock. “Come on, I’ll buy some for you.”“Hooray!

Ember was unhappy when she saw how the woman acted, but she was still respectful of Avery’s thoughts. She asked him, “Avery, do you like this doll? Do you want to give it to him?”Avery instinctively clutched the doll even tighter. He turned his head away, and said coldly, “I don’t want to. I hate those who steal from me the most!”Ember smiled; she straightened her back, and looked at the woman’s disdainful expression. “Hear that? My son’s not giving.”The woman looked at them from top to bottom a few times, as if it was the first time that someone refused her. She then grabbed a stack of bills from her wallet, and dangled it in front of Ember.“Alright, alright. You want money, isn’t that right? The money here is enough to buy a few more similar dolls like this one.”The smile on Ember’s face didn’t dissipate, and her tone was similarly cold. “I’m sorry, but we’re not selling.”The woman instantly removed her glasses, revealing a pair of double eyelids that seemed to be slightl

Ember almost burst in laughter. What a strange family, spinning tales like that. Anyone could see who was the one bullying and who was the victim.“My husband is the manager of Lane Group’s Sales department! Do you know the Lane Group? It’s world’s number one! If you dare cross my husband, I’ll make sure you’ll never be free of trouble!” the woman said triumphantly.She rolled her eyes at Ember, as if willing to accept Ember’s apologies and flattery any time. She even added, “If you apologize to us right now and give us the doll, I can forgive you. All my husband needs to do is to wiggle his finger, and you won’t be able to live here anymore!”As the woman kept on bragging, the man simply looked pleased. He eyed Ember in disdain.Lane Group? Ember raised her eyebrow, the iciness on her smile almost froze her surroundings. How small the world could be?Caleb, of all people, was trying to woo her. This man was just a manager, but he was already so arrogant?“Those who know it recog

Caleb’s smile slowly disappeared from his face. However, since Ember was around, he still made an effort to retain his smile. “It’s my duty to protect them. There’s no need to thank me.”“Of course I have to. I’ve always been the one to take care of them, so it’s my fault.” While Lugh’s tone was gentle, one could sense the aggression.As the two men were exchanging words, they were exchanging aggressive glances as well.Avery looked admiringly at Caleb, and said happily, “You’re great! You scared him away with just a few words!”Children had always looked up to heroes. Caleb, who protected them, seemed to have gained another positive status. Avery wanted Ember and Caleb to get together even more.However, nothing much happened next. After finishing their meals, Caleb wanted to send Ember back home and show how good a man he was. However, Lugh was wary of him. While they had quietly exchanged glares, Caleb had to abandon his plan in the end.When he regained his composure, Ember w

The moment Caleb looked at her, he would remember all the things she did. He instantly felt irritated by her.

There’s no need for you to do this anymore.”Penelope wanted to say something, when policemen suddenly rushed into the lobby.

Ember’s lips formed a cold smile. With the information of the IP address in hand, she kept on confirming the details.As she expected, the account that kept on discrediting her was an alternate account that Donelle used. The IP address shown was where Donelle was.Didn’t she keep on complaining that Ember didn’t explain herself? Ember would use this chance to give Donelle a huge present, and prevent the latter from doing things like this behind her back anymore.Ember logged into her socials, then forwarded the rumor post that the most people had liked. After that, she made a post.[I don’t care about these smear campaigns, but a certain someone keeps on mentioning this again and again. This time, I won’t be showing any mercy. See you at the police station!]The attached image was the alternate account’s information and IP address.She then published the post.What Ember did shocked everyone, and the comments section cheered her on.When Donelle found out about it, she was in

After she was done with her work, she received an emergency call from the hospital.“Doctor Ember, please come back quickly! A special patient has been admitted, and we need you to take a look right now!”For a surgeon involved in emergency care, something like this was nothing out of the usual.
