Celestine observed Stella's joyful antics with fascination. She tugged on his arm, and he rose to his feet. "Make a wish," Stella urged, gazing at him with a broad smile. The two closed their eyes, surrounded by flickering fireflies. Stella was the first to open her eyes. "What did you wish for? Tell me," she inquired eagerly. Celestine shook his head. "If I tell you, it won't come true," he replied. Stella pondered his words for a moment before nodding in agreement. But then, her face lit up with a smile. "My wish is simple. I want to grow old with you, Caleb. I love you," she declared. Celestine was taken aback, but he responded, "I love you too." Stella rushed into Celestine's arms, and they held each other tightly before interlocking their fingers and walking back to her home. "I have to go," Celestine told Stella, causing her to pout and protest, "But I thought you were staying until tomorrow." Celestine shook his head and said, "I will call you soon. Can I have your phot
Peter's voice boomed with anger, "Go get her number!" Bennet felt intimidated and didn't dare show any signs of displeasure. He immediately set out to find Margret Owen, but unfortunately, she had already left and driven home by the time he arrived. As soon as she drove into the courtyard, Celestine and Caleb, who were inside the house, noticed her and rushed out to greet her. They took the shopping bags from her and the three of them went inside together. Margret headed to her room while Celestine and Caleb took care of putting away the groceries. As soon as Margret sat on her bed, her phone rang. She frowned at the caller ID, which showed that Charlie Jr was calling. When she answered, she heard a crisp, vibrant voice on the other end of the line. "This is Margret Owen," she said. But before she could say anything else, Charlie Jr spoke up. "If you want to see my father, you can. He's out of his coma." Margret was taken aback by the news, but before she could respond, Charlie Jr h
Charlie Jr had come to the hospital with the intention of finding Margret Owen and interrogating her about why she had caused his father to become violent. However, he was taken aback by the scene he witnessed at the entrance of the hospital, where his mother was viciously attacking the woman. "Mother," Charlie Jr called out to Chloe, who appeared uneasy and tried to divert the conversation. "How is your Dad doing?" Margret, unwilling to be a bystander, stepped forward to leave. Chloe's face darkened and she clenched her fists, wishing she could grab Margret and tear her apart. "Mom, Dad is awake. You should go and see him," Charlie Jr interrupted, disapproving of his mother's violent behaviour in public.Chloe strode confidently into the hospital, followed closely by her team. As they walked away, Salvation spoke up, directing his comment towards Charlie Jr. "Sir Charlie Jr, forgive me for saying this, but it seems like your recent behaviour is showing favouritism towards that woma
Charlie Sr's opened the file when he received the document. His face darkened when he started flipping through the pages of the document. "Don't keep me waiting." Madame Agnes said coldly. Charlie Sr glanced at her and signed the document with a resolute facial expression. "Retrieve the document" Madame Agnes snorted coldly, and turned around, leaving with the entourage she came with, in tows. As they made their way to the elevator, Charlie Jr encountered them. "Junior, come with me," Madame Agnes instructed Charlie Jr. "Of course, Grandma," he replied, following her obediently. They all went to Madame Agnes' mansion, where Charlie Jr and Madame Agnes, accompanied by Butler Mark, were left alone in Madame Agnes' pavilion. "Give it to him," Madame Agnes told Butler Mark. Butler Mark bowed and stepped forward, handing the document to Charlie Jr. Charlie Jr flipped through the pages, his surprise evident on his face. "Junior, I no longer trust your father. I hope you won't disapp
Brenda was taken aback by Daniel's foolishness in believing that Margret would still fall in love with him. She couldn't believe the level of delusion he was under. In frustration, she kicked Daniel's leg. Another servant appeared, joining the one who had knocked Daniel unconscious. Brenda issued a cold order, "Administer the drugs and take him to where the woman is." The servant hesitated and voiced a concern, "Madam Brenda, an overdose of the sexual enhancement drugs could be harmful." Brenda's anger flared, and she slapped the servant's face, sneering, "Why do you speak such nonsense? Just do as I say." The servant responded meekly, "I apologize, Madam Brenda."He knelt before unconscious Daniel and pried his mouth open and fed him the drugs. Brenda led the way as the two servants dragged Daniel off the floor and followed. As they approached the doorways, Brenda halted abruptly upon hearing footsteps behind her. "Madam Brenda, why are we stopping? We're almost at the room, an
Madame Agnes noticed that Margret had accepted her proposal with little resistance, so she decided that there was no need for further discussion. "Very well, I'll arrange for Celestine to travel abroad today," Madame Agnes informed Margret. Margret was surprised at how easily Madame Agnes had been persuaded. "I'm so grateful for your kindness, Madame Agnes," Margret expressed her appreciation. Madame Agnes waved it off, saying, "Don't thank me, Celestine is my grandson." They went back inside the room, where Butler Mark had already taken Celestine's luggage to the car. "I'll miss you, Mom," Celestine said, hugging Margret, who smiled in response. She held Celestine at arm's length and replied affectionately, "If you miss me, just come visit me, and I'll do the same when I come to see you." Celestine flashed a grin and replied with a cheerful "Sure, Mommy." Caleb's expression turned stern as he chided Celestine, "Please don't behave in such a childish and entitled manner. When
Margret was taken aback when Charlie Sr asked her to visit him in the hospital, using his son as a shield. Her opinion of him instantly soured - what a petty and cowardly man! But when she tried to close the door on them, Charlie Jr dropped a hint that made her uneasy. "Your son is a student at the Central Military Academy in the Capital," he said, his tone carrying a veiled threat. Margret scowled, sensing that she was being threatened. "What's that supposed to mean?" she demanded icily. Charlie Jr shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, nothing much. Just that the Principal happens to be a good friend of mine. And if you continue to be stubborn, I might have to drop a few words to him." Margret's heart sank. She knew that Charlie Jr wasn't just bluffing - he meant what he said. With a deep breath, she clenched her fists and ground her teeth. "Fine. I'll come with you to the hospital," she spat, storming off to change.Salvation, Sir Charlie Jr's assistant, spoke up after noticing that the w
Margret had no idea about the secret plot. After leaving the hospital, she stopped by a bookstore to purchase some books. On her way home, she noticed an individual standing at her gate. Feeling annoyed, she honked at the person, but they didn't budge. Margret stepped out of her car and politely asked, "Excuse me, can you please move out of the way so I can enter?" She gestured towards the gate with her hand. To her surprise, the stranger was holding a gun and had a sinister smirk on his face. Before she could react, a car screeched to a halt next to her, and seven armed individuals got out. "Margret Owen, come with us," one of them commanded in a cold, unforgiving tone. Margret was bewildered. She didn't recognize any of these people and couldn't imagine why they would want her. Nonetheless, she complied and got into their car.Once inside, the men swiftly donned masks and released a gas that quickly overpowered Margret, causing her to lose consciousness. After an hour had passed
