Chapter 774

Author: Light Breeze
Landon had never felt this full before. His handsome face was flushed, carrying a healthy glow full of energy.

Thalia couldn't help but reach out through his sweater, pressing her palm against his stomach. It felt a bit fuller than usual, but there was something comforting about the touch.

He had a lean, well-proportioned build. He was not skinny, but every line of his frame was covered with balanced muscle. Even through the sweater, his body radiated a steady heat, the vigor of a young man, with veins faintly raised beneath the surface.

She thought it was fun and kept her hand there for a while, until he spoke softly, "People are staring at you. Are you not embarrassed?"

She looked around and found that no one was paying attention. He was lying.

She raised her little fist, wanting to hit him, but his eyes were filled with warmth, deep and carrying something she couldn't quite understand. She stared at him in a daze. Her cheeks suddenly flushed hot, leaving her flustered and unsur

    Landon walked through the courtyard.Night had settled, and the courtyard lay quiet and shadowed. Moonlight cast a silvery chill over the trees, distant and cold, while the villa radiated a cozy, amber glow.A household employee, Angeline White, walked over and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ziegler, where's your car?"Landon took off his jacket and said casually, "Outside the villa."Angeline didn't dare press further and only asked if he wanted a late-night snack.He thought for a moment before answering, "Make two plates of ravioli and bring them to the living room on the second floor."Angeline understood. Clearly, he hadn't eaten outside and wanted Thalia to join him.As someone experienced, she knew it better than anyone else. After all, Thalia was breathtakingly beautiful, like a delicate, blooming rose.Word was she'd grown up in a wealthy family and had known Landon since childhood, so how could they not have a special bond?

    Greg had his thoughts, but he kept them to himself.Some things were better left unsaid. Saying them out loud was pointless.While they were talking, Eric arrived. He was about to be a groom, and in the business world, he had always been a straight shooter with no scandals, and he rarely conducted business in clubs like this.The moment he showed up, Greg shifted all his attention away from Landon and latched onto Eric like a pesky fly.Landon exchanged a glance with Xavier, and they both chuckled.To be fair, Greg was a flexible player in their circle. The Newman family had once struck it rich, but with few heirs. By the time it came down to Greg, he had to carry everything on his own, and it wasn't easy. He relied on his charm and ability to keep the family afloat.Everyone who hung out together tossed favors his way now and then. And to his credit, he was dependable and never hogged the pie. He had decent connections.Now, he wanted to work with Eric.Eric was inclined to ag

    Willow held Thalia tight, her heart breaking. They weren't mother and daughter, but it felt just like it.…With Willow stepping in, Thalia was no longer a child without a mother, and she was no longer alone.She was obviously getting better and putting on some healthy weight. And she looked a lot more lively, too.Landon was deeply grateful to Willow because Thalia had really made a lot of progress. But after Thalia was discharged from the hospital, he still refused to let her move into the Ziegler residence. Instead, he wanted to take her to his private villa, just the two of them.Fortunately, Willow was busy preparing for Evelyn's wedding, so she let him have a little leeway.At the end of March, Thalia was discharged and moved into Landon's villa.Their relationship wasn't what it used to be, but a lot had been mended. It wasn't shattered anymore. Thalia didn't hide away and cry all the time. At home, she followed the cook around trying to learn recipes, though everything s

    The first light of dawn was breaking across the sky.Landon was already awake. With work piling up lately, his sleep had been poor.The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Thalia asleep in his arms. He instinctively held her tighter, pressing his face against hers, feeling an indescribable fullness in his chest. The pain was still there, but the future suddenly felt full of hope.Just as the two were wrapped in that quiet closeness, the hospital room door eased open.It was Willow who entered.Julian, being a man, didn't think it was appropriate to enter, so he waited outside, locking eyes with Leslie, whose eyes were about to pop from the stare-down.Inside, Willow's gaze fell on the pair in bed.From across the room, she recognized Landon immediately. After all, he was her son. The other was just as easy to recognize. Thalia, the one who once longed to call her "Mom" when she was young.So many years had passed, yet Thalia's features hadn't changed.Back then, after Patrick di

    The night grew deeper.Two hearts that had drifted apart were drawing close again.Landon's voice cracked with emotion as he whispered gently, "Don't cry, okay? Please don't cry, Thalia. We're still young, and we'll have kids someday."For some reason, he suddenly felt compelled to make a promise. When he spoke of having children, it was a promise of marriage. He wouldn't leave Thalia with a child out of wedlock. He wanted to marry her, bring her home, and care for her for the rest of their lives.If he couldn't let go, then he would care for her for a lifetime.The body in his arms became stiff.Thalia went still at his promise. Deep down, she had always known that while they were together, he wouldn't marry her, as their relationship had never been more than temporary.But now, he was talking about having children with her in the future.Instead of feeling happy, she was just stunned, which was why she didn't react at all.He didn't explain further and just held her tightly,

    After a long while, one of the household employees came over and asked carefully, "Mr. Ziegler, would you like to go inside?"Landon snapped out of his thoughts, lifted his eyes to her for a moment, then said flatly, "Make me a bowl of mac and cheese."He got out of the car. The household employee quickly took his jacket, followed him into the entryway to hang it up, and then turned to head toward the kitchen.Suddenly, Landon stopped her. "Make some chicken soup as well. Do we have fresh ingredients for the soup?"The household employee thought for a second, then smiled. "We actually do! Someone from the Ziegler residence sent over a whole delivery of fresh ingredients this afternoon when they heard you weren't going back. They wanted to make sure you'd be well taken care of."Landon's voice stayed even. "Make it light. It's not for me."The household employee couldn't help glancing toward the car, but there was no guest in sight.However, since Landon didn't explain, she didn'
