Chapter 685

Light Breeze
Landon watched in silence as Xavier wept pitifully. Then, he shifted his gaze to the end of the hallway. On this winter night, the snowfall in Bristlewick felt like it would never end.

…

All of a sudden, a series of hurried footsteps sounded off in the hallway. A figure drew closer and closer. When they finally got a closer look, they realized it was Fred.

Fred stopped next to Landon, his Adam's apple bobbing, and spoke to him in a restrained tone. "The experiment is still in early stages, but Gabriella is running out of time. So, I'm gonna need your dad's permission to treat her with the new technology."

Landon couldn't help but tremble for a moment. Xavier was also at a loss for words, his body tensing up.

Half a minute later, Landon pulled his phone out and dialed Julian's number. It took him everything to deliver Fred's message with calm and restraint, though he was barely holding himself together.

Later, the Ziegler family was here in the middle of the night on New Year's

    It wasn't really a scandal.It was a business banquet.Landon appeared in a crisp suit, exuding the confidence of a polished, handsome executive. At his side, Thea held his arm, conversing with a middle-aged man. The sound was on, and Thalia could make out her effortlessly switching between Eborisian and Faerianese, laughing and joking with the Serevian businessman.Landon stood there smiling, full of admiration.Thalia understood that it was normal to have that kind of admiration, but it still stung.Because of what he had said, she'd spent two nights cramming Eborisian vocabulary. And now, compared to Thea's effortless multilingual charm, her effort felt pitiful and laughable. She'd actually believed she could stand by his side at those kinds of events. She'd actually taken it seriously, like some fool desperate to memorize words."Thalia, you really are pathetic."But she couldn't get upset. Otherwise, she'd seem unreasonable.Still, was she really not allowed to be upset?

    The driver couldn't do anything about Thalia and just let her be.Thalia wasn't exactly frugal either. She was running late, so she chose to take a cab. However, she had to run quite a distance, since the roads around Landon's villa were private. She had to go about half a mile out before she could catch one.By the time she reached the office, it was five minutes to 9:00 am.Her boss was called Louisa Milarky. She stood at the entrance with a stopwatch in hand, clearly someone with a knack for managing employees.As Thalia passed, she bent slightly and said, "Morning, Louisa."Louisa looked at her expressionlessly. "Next time, don't cut it so close."Thalia replied, "Got it."She went to her desk, and a young woman next to her slid her chair over, whispering, "I'm Tully Harter."Thalia reached out her hand. "I'm Thalia Sherman."Tully smiled. "I handle the company website."Thalia said, "I'm the new intern doing odd jobs."The two women laughed, genuinely amused.Thalia r

    Thalia went back to the master bedroom feeling both joyful and content, yet still worried for Landon. After her shower, she noticed the study light was still on, so she went downstairs and made him a plate of risotto. It wasn't exactly delicious, but at least edible.She carefully set it on a plate and even added a bowl of soup. But she didn't bring it to the study, afraid of disturbing his work.Instead, she left it in the living room.That way, when Landon finally finished and came back upstairs, it would be the first thing he saw.She was easy to please. She was excited about having a job now, and she cherished Landon. She hoped that without disrupting their life together, she could keep improving little by little until she was worthy of him.She suddenly remembered that he'd said she'd need to speak in Eborisian on Saturday.There were still four days left until then.She didn't want to sleep. Hoping she could help a little, she downloaded an app and clumsily started practic

    Gabriella wasn't alone. She was holding the hand of an adorable young girl.It was Lynn.Back then, Thalia would've greeted Gabriella openly and brightly, calling out, "Gabriella."But after everything she had been through, she couldn't be that casual anymore. She lowered her voice and called out to her softly.Gabriella was no longer the carefree woman she once was either. She understood Thalia's unease, so she brought Lynn over and told her, "This is Thalia."Lynn called out sweetly, "Thalia."Thalia touched her soft cheek, genuinely fond of her.Gabriella said gently, "Landon and I are twins. I was born second. Thalia, you don't have to be so formal with me."Thalia nodded, still a little shy.Gabriella looked around and asked, "Where's Landon? Why isn't he with you?"Thalia quickly explained, "I thought of asking him to come along, but a last-minute meeting came up. Seems like it's a big project, so I came out shopping alone."Gabriella nodded. "Work comes first. But if

    After the wedding banquet, Landon skipped the social event and took Thalia home.She was still riding the high from the ceremony, realizing this was what weddings were like these days. It wasn't all that complicated, just a bit more work for Eric.The black Rolls-Royce came to a stop.Landon turned, watching the woman beside him, who was still glowing with excitement and asking softly, "Do you want a modern wedding or a vintage one next time?"Thalia answered in a small voice, "A vintage one is fine. Evelyn's wedding dress today was gorgeous."Many women had dreamed of wearing the same stunning dress.He saw the hopeful glimmer on her face, and his heart softened. He held her hand as they got out of the car together.The household staff at the villa spotted the picture-perfect couple and couldn't hide their smiles. Everyone knew Landon's marriage wasn't far off.That night, Landon and Thalia were intimate again.In those moments of passion, it was as if they had gone back to t

    Eric lingered in the study for a long while. It wasn't until his eyes began to sting and burn that he finally rose and made his way to the bedroom, where his young bride was waiting for him.He had been born into a cold, lonely life, but fate made it up to him with Evelyn. She was the best kind of compensation he could have asked for.…Moonlight poured in. In the dim, hushed glow, a breathtaking figure in white lay asleep on crimson sheets. She didn't even notice that he'd walked in.He thought, "You really are sleeping soundly, aren't you?"He moved closer, brushed her hair away, and studied her face carefully. With the makeup washed off, Evelyn looked even fresher. She was more than ten years younger than him, and had chosen to marry him at such an early age.He'd have to treat her incredibly well to be worthy of a young bride like her. He never wanted her to regret choosing him. She was the apple of their eyes.He sank down on one knee, lowered his head, and kissed her. He d
