Grandpa Blackwood gave a low hum, but said nothing.

Everyone in the family knew he had always disliked women from the entertainment world, and that he strongly opposed Julian's relationship with Vivienne.

Julian had brought her straight to a family dinner, so naturally the old man wasn't going to give her a friendly look.

Seeing that Wells was growing more uncomfortable, Eleanor led him over to the sofa.

Julian stepped forward to shield Vivienne, his tone fiercely protective. "Grandpa, Vivienne

    He glanced down and saw that it was his executive assistant, Marcus, calling.He answered and walked to the window. "This had better be important, calling me this late.""Mr. Blackwood, we've found Hazel Grant. She's reportedly in New York, and I have her phone number. Should I send it to you?""Yes. Send it over.""Right away, sir."After the call ended, a message notification popped up on his phone.He glanced at it, then dialed the number, but no one answered.Maybe she's asleep.Without a second thought, he hung up.Meanwhile, in the bedroom next door.When Julian came out of the bathroom, he saw Sera's phone on the nightstand with its screen lit up. By the time he got closer, the call had already ended.Same old habit. She always keeps her phone on silent.They used to argue about it all the time, because she was never reachable at critical moments.The phone was locked with a password, so Julian couldn't get in. He ignored it and went to sleep.The next morning, when Sera woke u

    "I'm not drunk!"Sera braced her hands on the arms of the chair and stood up quickly.Damian watched her stagger toward him, and his brow furrowed slightly."Walking like that, and you still say you're not drunk?" His thin lips curved, his tone casual. "Stubborn.""Mr. Blackwood!" Sera suddenly pointed her right index finger at him. "Step back a little.""What are you trying to do? You're not thinking of climbing over here again, are you?""I... I'm just trying to prove to you that I'm not actually drunk..."Sera stammered as she spoke.Before he could stop her, her hand was already on the glass railing."You're not just drunk. You're seriously drunk."Damian reached out on instinct to stop her from coming over.But before his hand even touched her wrist, she slapped it away.The next second, she lifted her leg and stepped over the railing.At the sight, Damian felt both amused and exasperated.This was truly unexpected.Sera climbing a railing, Sera treating a patient, Sera charging

    "Of course. You only ever call Vivienne. Why would you think of me? You only reach out when you need something, before and now!"Sera's tone was cold and flat, her voice very low.She was about to sit up when Julian reached out, gripped her shoulders, and pressed her firmly down onto the bed."Sera, it's your own fault. You were wicked and framed Vivienne, and that's why you went to prison. If you were even a little more innocent, I wouldn't be at a loss for words with you...""What, is Mr. Blackwood justifying his misconduct? And he thinks it's my fault he cheated?""When did I ever cheat? Which of your eyes saw me do anything wrong?"His hand on her shoulder tightened.A terrifying chill came off him."Do I need to say it? Isn't it common knowledge?" Sera sneered. "Or did Vivienne fail to satisfy you, so you've come crawling back to your wife on paper?""I didn't intend to do anything to you.""Then why are you pinning me down?"Sera lifted her eyes to his cold, dark gaze, a chill s

    Sera's hand holding the phone went still.This was the first time Damian had ever called her himself.He wouldn't call her over and over unless something important had happened.After a moment's hesitation, she pressed answer. "Mr. Blackwood...""The old man is having trouble breathing again. Would it be convenient for you to come over?"Without a second thought, Sera shot up from her chair. "Yes. I'll be right there."After hanging up, she hurried to the cabinet, took out her acupuncture and cupping sets, and headed straight for the door.As she walked, she told Annie, "I have to go out urgently. I may not be back tonight. I'm leaving Lily with you.""What happened?" Annie caught up quickly, her brow furrowed. "Is Grandpa Blackwood in trouble again?""Yes." Sera glanced back. "I'm leaving now.""Okay. Be careful on the road."The door closed, cutting off Sera's figure and Annie's voice.By the time Sera reached the estate by cab, it was eight in the evening.The entire house was brig

    So he was here for Wells's parent-teacher conference.No wonder Vivienne had time to take Wells around today."No." Sera's tone was indifferent. "I'm here for something else.""This is a school, and an expensive one. What business could you possibly have here?" Julian's gaze darkened. "You wouldn't be doing something behind my back, would you?"He reached out and grabbed her arm.A sharp pain shot through her arm, and her brow furrowed."Let go."Her tone was cold, her eyes full of frost."What, does my life have to revolve around you and your son? Can't I have matters of my own? If I come to Wells's school, I can only be here for him?"Julian lowered his eyes and met her bright gaze.The chill in them was something he had never felt before.It was colder than the way she would look at a complete stranger...The moment she finished, Sera shook off his hand with all her strength.Just as she was about to leave, Julian strode forward and blocked her path.His voice was low. "You still ha

    Sera paused.Very few people knew she was planning a clinic, and she hadn't said she was taking the shop to open one.How did he know that?Though she hesitated, she told the truth. "Yes.""I know a really nice space. Would you like to take a look?"His voice fell quiet as he lowered his eyes and watched her.Sera paused again. "Mr. Blackwood, you want to show me a space? Is it a friend's property?""Yes, it belongs to a friend." Damian had already reached for the back door of the car. "It's a two-story building. It used to be a tea house, used for entertaining clients. The tea house has moved to a new address, so the building is currently empty."By the time he finished, the car door was already open.She looked up and met his sincere gaze.He doesn't seem to be joking."All right. I'll go take a look."Sera climbed into the car and made eye contact with the man in the driver's seat.She recognized him. It was Damian's executive assistant, Marcus.He nodded in greeting, and she answe
