Seeing the sadness on Mr. Hunt's face, Mia's eyes also filled with tears. The woman was able to feel what stirred the grandfather's heart. Realizing it, Julian spontaneously stroked his wife's back. With a little smile, he expressed support for listening to the conversation.
"I'm really sorry for what my son has done," Mr. Hunt said in a hoarse voice that was no longer cheerful. Regret had narrowed his throat. "James shouldn't have snatched your wife. I am very ashamed of his behavior."
Not expecting to receive such a confession, Herbert froze. After one blink, he tried to break the tension through a stiff curve of his lips.
"You don't have to feel guilty, Mister Hunt. It happened long time ago. I've forgotten the pain and even forgiven them."
Unexpectedly, the white-haired man waved his hand and shook his head. “There is no way a human could ever forget such a huge betrayal. I know you must feel bad for me. Because of that, you cover the wound that
“Mia … Mia … Mia ….”People kept chanting the name of the bride. Not wanting to disappoint the guests, Julian pulled his wife to the dance floor."No, Julian. I can't dance," Mia said with doubtful brows."It doesn't matter. I will guide you. Just follow my steps," the man said carefree.Grinning, the woman in white whispered, "But, what about our Little Princess?"“Little Princess would love to dance. Maybe, she will be born as a dancer,” Julian joked while positioning himself in front of his wife."Is it okay?" Mia asked almost inaudibly. Her forehead painted a look of concern.While placing one hand behind the woman's back, Julian brought his lips to her ear. "Take it easy. We're going to move slowly. Little Princess will be safe.”“What if I stumble and fall?” the woman sighed as she was still reluctant to move.“I will catch you before your knees b
Three minutes earlier, Herbert took his daughter-in-law's hand with a bright smile. His eyes were no longer firm, but warm."Thank you, Mia. You've managed to make me feel young again," the old man mumbled, instantly inviting a chuckle from the bride."You're still young, Dad. Look! Your dance moves are even more agile than mine," the woman in white replied, tucking confidence under her eyebrows.“Younger than Mr. Hunt, you mean?” the father-in-law joked, once again provoking joy from the mouth of the daughter-in-law. After one light breath, Herbert shook his head faintly. “You don't need to comfort me, Mia. I realize that I am no longer young. Look at my grandchild … soon to be two.”Before the woman could reply, the old man took a deep breath. "I can't wait to meet your daughter. Lately, I've been wondering what her face looks like. Does she look like you … or Julian?”Curving her lips, the woman tilted
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Only Cayden's cries shook the air. Even though his eyes were on Gabriella and his ears were pinched by Max's shoulders and palm, the little baby was able to feel a strong sense of dread.Realizing the silence, Sharp Knife closed his coat which had just lost a weapon. With an innocent look, he looked at the faces of people who were wide-eyed at him, including the skinny woman in the black dress who didn't expect her boss to end up horribly."What's wrong? I had already given him a chance to stay alive, but he refused. No Name himself chose to die," Sharp Knife said lightly."You killed him," a policeman sighed as he felt his gun was useless."Because I knew you wouldn't dare to do it," the head of bodyguard stated, pointing at the man lying there with a knife stuck right in the eye. “If it wasn't No Name, then Mia would be in his place. Which one do you prefer?”Realizing the truth of the knife-thro
Arriving at Herbert's house, a baby in a black coat rushed in. Once he passed the door, he raised both hands and shouted, “Boo!”A second later, Cayden found only empty space. However, instead of showing sadness, he chuckled and quickened his pace.Little Prince thought that his grandfather was waiting in the living room, as usual. The innocent baby did not understand that Herbert would not be able to welcome him again. Excitedly, he sped up and repeated the surprise."Boo!"Realizing that his grandfather wasn't there either, Little Prince's eyebrows shot up. Confusion began to shift his spirit. Blinking slowly, Cayden turned to face his parents."Um ... Empa?"Hearing the longing question, Max and Gabriella looked at each other. After reading the same feeling, the woman sighed faintly. Holding the sorrow behind her furrowed brows, she knelt down to face her son.“Grandpa is no longer here, Little Prince,” Gabr
While trying to conquer the rumbling in his chest, Julian reached for the box with his name on it. A greeting card was hanging on the red ribbon. After wiping away the tears so as not to block his eyes, he unfolded the paper and looked at the ink strokes that deepened the longing.“Winter is coming soon. Keep yourself warm! Every time you wear this, imagine that I'm hugging you with love."After reading the short message, sadness flooded Julian's face. Sobbing and closing his eyes, the man embraced the box as tightly as he wanted to be with his father. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he called, Herbert would never answer.“Julian, stop …. You can make Cayden cry too,” Mia whispered while rubbing the face of the man who had lost his mind.Instead of subsiding, Julian's cries grew louder. The man still couldn't believe that his father had gone. He thought they still had plenty of time.“Why did Dad leave a gift as swe
"Will and testament?" Julian sighed with one questioning raised eyebrow."Isn't it too soon? Our father just passed away,” Max said, explaining his brother's shock.Smiling wisely, the notary shook his head. "Instead of mourning his passing, you better be happy thinking of his wealth that fell into your hands.""But we're not like that," Gabriella sighed with displeased brows. Her father-in-law's life was certainly much more valuable than inheritance.Without feeling guilty, the man in the blue tie raised the corners of his lips. "Sorry, Madam. It's the first line in Herbert Evans' testament.”In an instant, the woman's eyes and mouth rounded. "Oh, sorry," she mumbled with a groan."No problem," the stocky man replied before turning to face the servants. A second later, he took out a CD from under his coat and handed it over. “Would you like to help me play this video?”In an instant, Julian's back turned strai
After seeing her husband's innocent nod, Mia swallowed hard. “What am I supposed to do with that much gold? Should I donate some?” Unknowingly, Julian smiled at his wife's muttering. “You can do whatever you want, Mia. The gold is already yours." With a slight grimace, the woman hid her discomfort. She felt that she did not deserve that much inheritance. "To Max who always refuses anything I give him ..." Herbert said in a sudden excited tone. His words successfully captured the attention of those who watched the video. “You know that Quebracha isn't the only company I've invested in, right? Therefore, take care of my other stocks.” A sigh of disbelief suddenly escaped Max's mouth. “I actually rejected Quebracha because I wanted to focus on my own business. Now, how do I focus if I become the shareholder in 19 companies?” "That many?" Gabriella sighed with raised eyebrows in surprise. While constricting the forehead, Max nodded lazily.
"You're wrong, Julian. I am very happy to be living with you and also very glad to enter this house as your wife. It's like a beautiful dream come true. But ..." Mia said before turning her smile into a wry one, "we can't be laughing and dancing, can we?" "That's what I meant. I have failed to ensure the safety of our wedding. If only Dad was still alive, our happiness would be perfect,” Julian regretted with a wrinkled face. Not wanting her husband to keep carrying the burden, Mia jerked the hand that was holding her lightly. "Come on, Julian. It's not your fault," she said softly. "We can't fight the fate. So, put away your regrets. Don't make Dad uneasy up there." From under the furrows of his brows, the man depicted disappointment. "But, I really want to make my wife happy," he said in a dragging voice. "I am happy," Mia said with a reassuring nod. A second later, the woman looked down at their intertwined fingers. "Do you know? Just being able to
