Anastasia woke up early in the morning at 8:00 AM in Elliot’s villa. However, Elliot was nowhere to be
found beside her.
Thinking that he had been grieving recently, she got out of bed without a second thought to look for him
and eventually found him in the kitchen.
He was wearing a gray shirt today with an apron tied around his waist to make breakfast for his family.
Anastasia was moved by the sight. Even though she was still in her pajamas, she walked toward Elliot,
who was stirring the porridge in the pot, and embraced him from behind.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. Even though there was silence hanging between them, he could
feel her unspoken love. He intertwined his fingers with hers as he said, “Go wake Jared up; it’s
breakfast time soon.”
“Okay. I’ll go wake him up,” Anastasia answered, but she was reluctant to move from her spot. She
wanted to enjoy the warmth of his back a little longer.
Elliot turned around and pressed a kiss on her hair. Just when he moved down for her lips, she avoided
him. “I haven’t brushed my teeth.”

Anastasia ran out of the kitchen with a giggle and headed upstairs. After she had woken up Jared, she
cleaned up herself and returned downstairs.
As she showed up once again in the kitchen, she wrapped her arms around Elliot and tiptoed to give
him a kiss precisely on the lips.
He put an arm around her waist as he reciprocated her kiss. At that moment, the determination to
protect his family was built within him. Even though he was still grieving for Harriet deep down, he
wouldn’t hesitate to show his love for the people around him.
After a hearty breakfast, the three went to a horse ranch nearby. Jared had a pony that belonged to him
there. He was practicing alone on the ranch while his parents were watching him from the cafe. They
had a great time bonding with each other.
Meanwhile, in the Presgrave Hospital, a chief physician had fallen into distress as if his life was at
stake after he received a call. Climbing to the rooftop, he took out a cigarette and smoked it.
At that moment, his phone rang and he answered, “Hello?”
“Have you decided?”
“The old madam has just passed away. I don’t think it’s a wise decision to do it now.”
“I want to see the result before 3:00 PM. Or else, you’ll lose your freedom and stay in jail for years.”
“Don’t! Fine, I’ll do it.”
“Good. I’ll be waiting.” The man on the other side ended the call once he finished his words.
The chief physician lit another cigarette with shaking hands as he finished the previous one. Then, he
took a deep inhale and wiped away the sweat glued to his forehead.
Someone had threatened him with a video featuring him and a married woman. The content of the
video was enough of an evidence for adultery to imprison him.
At that moment, two nurses walked onto the rooftop. They greeted him when they saw him. “Mr.
Campbell, are you okay?”
“Don’t worry about me.” Once again, he wiped the sweat away and put the cigarette out before he left

On the other hand, Sophia took a day off from Bourgeois this morning. She got into her childhood
friend’s car at around 10:00 AM and headed to Arthur’s villa.
She planned to seize the opportunity to pack up her things in Arthur’s guest room.
Thus, she prayed for him to be at home right now. Then, she sent him a message on the road to
confirm his whereabouts.
‘Mr. Weiss, are you home?’
Arthur soon replied, ‘I am.’
Seeing she was close to the destination, Sophia didn’t bother to reply to him as she turned to the side
and reminded, “James, you’ll do as I say later, all right?”
“No problem! Leave it to me!” James Lennon smiled confidently. “I’ll definitely break his heart for your
sake.” At that, he brushed his hair to make the best look. He was all groomed up today for a handsome
look.
She only nodded. However, as he drove the car toward the residential area, he began to panic. “Is that
guy wealthy?”
