The Old Residence. In the Hudson Family Estate.

Everyone in the Hudson family had gathered in the grand living room, all dressed up, waiting for the Eldest Madam’s arrival.

After his grandmother had insisted he didn’t need to meet her at the airport, Alexander had driven straight to the mansion and joined the rest of the family.

But now, night had fallen, and the old lady still hadn’t arrived.

Just as he contemplated calling her, his own phone rang.

The CEO brought the device to his ear. Seeing the caller ID, he answered.

“Yes?” His low, chilling voice reverberated through the room, causing everyone present to flinch instinctively.

Those present included Alexander’s parents, his uncle and family, his aunt Evelyn, his younger sister Susanna, and little Henry Jr.

All eyes were on him. Everyone silently wondered: was he speaking with Chairwoman Hudson?

Alexander was silent for a brief moment. Then his eyes hardened into a deadly glare.

“How is this possible?” he demanded.

    Immediately, she grabbed her phone and dialed her cousin.“Ashley, Alex has a child. What do we do?”“Eh?!” Ashley was driving to her mother’s house when she heard that.Her hands jerked on the steering wheel, and she quickly pulled over and turned off the engine.“What did you just say?” she demanded. “You’d better be sure this time.”“He has a child,” Amanda replied stiffly. “He said it himself. He brought her to work this morning.”He said it himself…The infamous Alexander Hudson wouldn’t lie about something like that.Ashley bit her lip so hard it stung.“I thought you said he was gay,” she scoffed, unable to hide the irritation in her voice.Amanda said nothing. Shame washed over her.“I’ll handle it,” Ashley said coolly. “Just keep doing what you’ve been doing.”The call ended.Ashley stared at her phone in annoyance. 'Keep doing nothing!'She started the engine and sped off.At the Larson residence, Ashley rushed inside and immediately explained everything to her mother.“A ch

    Gerald was astounded, biting down on his bottom lip in regret. He should have just kept his mouth shut.Dejected, he turned and made his way back into the building.----A faint smile tugged at the corner of Alex’s lips the moment he stepped into the house. That familiar, sweet aroma drifting from the kitchen…The smile faded as he walked into the lounge.“Ah! You’re back! We were waiting for you.” His wife emerged from the kitchen, hands full, grinning as she greeted him.Alexander blinked.Her smile… so beautiful.But was she really smiling at him, or was someone behind him? He turned to check.There was no one else.That was a first.“Yeah,” he drawled.“Go take your seat at the table. I’ll be right there.”Alexander remained where he was, his sharp gaze following her every movement like an eagle stalking its prey.“Here. Please give this to Granny. I’m sorry I took so long. Have a good night.”Lovett beamed as she handed a food bag to the chauffeur who had just arrived.Alexander

    An hour into the meeting…“Mrs. Vargas, is that a concrete idea?” The CEO tilted his head slightly as he spoke fluently in Turkish.Mrs. Vargas, the Managing Director of Rykard Industries Istanbul branch, shifted uncomfortably in her seat. So did everyone else on the call.They all knew that when the president of their corporation asked questions like that, he wasn’t really asking. He was stating a fact.Indirectly, he meant her proposal was unreasonable.“The model is currently in progress, sir. As soon as—”“Wrap it up quickly,” CEO Alex cut in, his tone final. “We don’t have months.”At that moment, the woman sleeping soundly on the soft chair stirred.Lovett groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open. As her senses returned, she noticed the unfamiliar surroundings.'Where am I?'Then it hit her. 'Reema!'She shot upright.“Mommy!” Reema had been engrossed in her cartoon, but the sudden movement made her look up instantly.“Oh, baby!”Mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.U

    A few seconds passed as they stared at each other, neither blinking.“Does it hurt?” The man’s deep, regal voice finally broke the silence.Lovett felt dazed. Who exactly was this man? He was nothing like the aggressive, domineering person she had first met a few months ago.Finding her voice at last, she took two steps back. “Er… no.”“Get your things. We’re going home.”Home.Lovett froze for a brief second. The way the word rolled so easily off his tongue...Pushing the thought aside, she opened the car door and picked up her handbag.At the CEO's signal, Gerald appeared instantly.Alex took Lovett’s car key and handed it to him. “Let’s go. My assistant will handle your car.”Gerald’s mouth fell open.His boss was dumping him?!Without further delay, the CEO guided his wife into his car. He took the driver’s seat and sped off.This was cruelty at its peak! Gerald scowled as the vehicle disappeared down the road. Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number.“My boss is a bully! Let’s

    “Er… and who would that be, sir?” she asked.“Reema Larson.”The headmistress’ brows knitted for a moment before her eyes widened in realization. She was very familiar with that name. Wasn’t the girl a newcomer?She was President Hudson's daughter?!“I’ll go fetch her for—”“No. Take me to her classroom.”Headmistress Susanna nodded at once and led the way.Soon, they arrived.As Alex stepped into the classroom, his eyes immediately found the little girl seated in the front row. Reema sat upright, her eyes bright and alert, as though she had been waiting impatiently for someone.“Hey, Teddy.” Alex shrugged off his overcoat as he approached.The moment Reema saw him, her face lit up. She jumped out of her chair and ran toward him.“Daddy!”Smiling, Alex bent down and wrapped her in a warm hug.Reema’s teacher, who had been waiting for a parent to arrive, rose from her seat and approached the father-daughter pair.Usually, it was the little girl’s mother who came to pick her up.

    ——— It had been over a month of space-hunting, yet there was still no progress. Every day, Lovett followed real estate agents from one neighborhood to another, only to be disappointed each time. The buildings were either poorly maintained, lacked exposure, outrageously overpriced, or already taken. At this point, she was thoroughly fed up. Still, giving up wasn’t an option. This was her dream. So early that morning, the moment she received a call from yet another agent, she sped off to meet him—right after dropping Reema at school. Now, at four in the afternoon, she regretted even answering that call. Every place the man had shown her was hideous. Some weren’t even completed. A complete waste of time. A waste of energy. A waste of resources. They had parted ways barely twenty minutes ago. And twenty minutes later, her car had broken down—right in the middle of a heavy downpour. Stuck by the roadside, rain pounding against her windows, Lovett felt utterly exasper
