Nelson, directed a staff member, "Take the kids to the playroom. Make sure they have access to all the gadgets, technologies, and AIs. I want them entertained and comfortable and safe"The staff, accustomed to Nelson's assertiveness, nodded and guided Kyle and Kelly towards the technologically advanced playroom. As the kids eagerly followed, their eyes widened with excitement at the prospect of exploring the futuristic wonders.Nelson, watching them depart, couldn't completely hide a subtle softening in his gaze. For a moment, the stern businessman revealed a glimpse of a father who, despite his controlling nature, cared about his children's well-being.His icy composure settling back like a shroud, finally spoke, his voice cutting through the tension like a razor, "DNA might not define fatherhood, but it does establish a claim, a connection that cannot be denied.

The mansion, usually all sparkly and impressive, had this different vibe. It wasn't just about fancy gadgets and high-tech stuff anymore. Now, it was about family, safety, and maybe figuring out what was real in this mess of emotions.As the night got deeper, the staff turned some parts of the mansion into a kind of high-tech fortress.

Nelson, true to his word, decided on a more sensible approach. Rather than a grand gesture, he opted to send the release papers for Ares' properties to Valerie.One day, as Valerie sorted through the logistics of the upcoming journey, a courier arrived at the door. A nondescript envelope bore the weight of both official documents and unspoken sentiments. Valerie, curious and cautious, opened the envelope to find the legal release papers for Ares' properties.As Valerie looked at these papers, she felt a mix of relief and worry. Ares' stuff was coming back, but the complex dance of relationships and problems wasn't over.

Is it something exciting?"Valerie, wanting to shield them from the complexity of adult matters, smiled and replied, "Oh, sweetheart, it's just some adult stuff. Nothing for you to worry about. Let's focu

Upon arriving at Nelson's mansion, the kids were in awe, their eyes wide with amazement as they took in the grandeur of their new surroundings. Nelson, proud and with a hint of arrogance, introduced them to what he declared as their permanent home."Welcome, Kyle and Kelly, to your new home. This is where you'll be living from now on," Nelson stated, a self-assured tone in his voice.As the kids explored the lavish mansion, Valerie couldn't help but reminisce about the first time she set foot in that place – a memory tainted by rejection and heartbreak when Nelson threw her out. The stark contrast between that painful memory and the current situation was not lost on her.Nelson, in his authoritative manner, barked orders at the house staff, demanding precision in the arrangement of things.
