"Mr. Raul, should we handle this directly?" the assistant asked cautiously.
Henrik stayed silent for a moment. Sure, he could easily take care of Liam Peyton himself, but Cecelia deserved
to know about all this. If two people just vanished into thin air, Cecelia would figure it out sooner or later.
To Henrik, a strong relationship needed trust and respect. He couldn't just hide behind the notion of doing what's
best for Cecelia and make decisions without her input. That kind of thing could easily drive a wedge between
them. She had every right to have a say in this
matter.
"Get Cecelia for me," Henrik instructed.
"On it," the assistant replied, stepping out and soon returning with Cecelia.
"Mr. Raul, you wanted to see me?" Cecelia asked, her eyes curious.
"Yes." Henrik nodded, signaling for the assistant to leave. Once they were alone, he said, "It's about your foster
parents."

The sparkle in Cecelia's eyes vanished instantly.
Henrik laid it all out for her, his gaze steady and his voice soft but convincing. "I've thought it through, and you
deserve to know. Cecelia, | realize you're not fond of me, but I'm here for you, always. Whatever you decide, I'm
with you."
His words were sincere, like he was showing her his very soul. When he mentioned her not liking him, there was
a slight pause in his voice.
He promised to always have her back. For Cecelia, who had weathered life's storms mostly alone, it was a first to
hear someone vow unconditional support.
It felt surprisingly good.
Cecelia felt her restless heart calm down. She wasn't afraid anymore. It was tto deal with her foster parents’
situation once and for all.
She needed to untangle this knot in her heart to move forward and open up to others.
"Aisha wants to spill my secrets, huh?" Cecelia said, feeling lighter now. She gave a sly smile. "Let her go for it."
We'll see who ends up worse off in the end.
Over at the Irving family home, Flora was sprawled on the couch, munching on chips while video chatting with
Crimson.
Raul was in the kitchen, whipping up
ssweet and sour pork ribs, with Connor lending a hand. Raul had the day off and decided to cook a special
meal for Flora. Connor
tagged along for the occa.oral ne
swnevel.
Flora had ordered a spread of her favorite dishes and was now lounging like she owned the place.
"Hey, Flora, that Cecelia girl is about to get played," Crimson remarked with a click of her tongue. "Hmm?" Flora
paused mid-chip.
"Some
to kicky named Aisha is trying
while you're down, right?"
Bson chuckled. "She mu right?"

have a
death wish."
Flora brushed the chip crumbs off her hands. "Definitely asking for it."
Going after someone close to her? That took nerve.
"But your brother's already on it. With him involved, Aisha doesn't stand a chance," Crimson added. Her brother
knew about this?
Flora arched an eyebrow, then broke
into a grin and continued
on her chips. "If my brother's

handling it, you can sit this one out."
Gotta give him his chance to be the hero, after all.
Crimson chuckled knowingly. "Got it."
