Chapter 804

Author: Light Breeze
Not wanting to make things awkward, Julian set down the keys and left.

But instead of going back to the Ziegler residence, he went to the villa where Landon lived. His appearance late at night sent the household staff scrambling, but he waved. "Go get some rest. I just need a word with Landon."

The household staff quickly withdrew.

The living room glowed under the bright lights.

Landon was drinking, his mood written all over his face.

Julian walked over, sat on the couch across from him, picked up an empty wine bottle, and gave it a little shake, then looked at Landon with a small smile. "You're sitting here all downcast. You must really care about her, huh?

"If you're that attached, why'd you throw her out? Your mother called me in the middle of the night, saying that if things don't get settled, she's leaving me. Landon, if I end up divorced because of you, you little brat, I won't let you off easy."

Landon drained his glass.

    A year went by, and Landon kept searching everywhere, but there was still no trace of Thalia. He figured maybe she'd gone abroad. Greg had mentioned that someone claimed to have spotted her in a distant tourist city.That year marked their third year apart.Later, he went to that city, but he never looked for her again.In a place so vast, if she were just another traveler, how could he ever find her? He simply sat alone in Central Park for a long while.Suddenly, a little boy toddled over, holding a colorful balloon. His face was ruddy and glowing, and when he grinned, a row of perfect white teeth shone through. He called out to him and introduced himself as Toby. For some reason, Toby reminded him of Thalia.In the warmth of an autumn sun, he bent down and scooped Toby into his arms, kissing him on the cheek. That was when a maid came over, speaking fluent Eborisian. She explained that Toby was just over two years old, from Brindley, and that his mother was studying while raisin

    Landon and Thalia brushed past each other.At first, Thalia didn't notice Landon. She had her head down, reading her test results. But then a breeze drifted by, carrying that faint pine scent so familiar.Was it Landon?Her head snapped up. She caught sight of him just as he walked past, heard him talking on the phone about something that had to do with her. Her eyes grew damp. For one fleeting second, she wanted to call out to him, throw herself into his arms, and let him see their child.But she held herself back. So what if she did call him?They were never meant to be. She was nothing but a burden and a landmine in his life. She'd already taken too much. She couldn't keep being greedy and asking for more, so she let it go.Even though she had resolved to leave, she couldn't help quickening her pace, hiding at a corner just to steal one last glance at him. She watched him slowly make his way downstairs, admiring the defined knuckles of his hand as he held his phone.She lifte

    On Christmas Eve, the Ziegler family was celebrating good news.Evelyn was pregnant. It was her first child with Eric, and neither of them had any experience, so they were flustered.

After spending a week in the hospital, Evelyn was discharged.After they returned to the Ziegler residence, they realized something had been left behind in the ward. By chance, Landon was nearby for a meeting.

Even in the middle of winter, the place was packed.The black Cullinan rolled to a stop. Landon reached for his black overcoat, ready to slip it on and head inside, grab the item, and leave. Lately, his life had been simple, co

    There was a sea of people on the first floor of Nebula Group.All of them were employees from Nebula Group working overtime, along with shareholders, their heads tilted back as they watched a young woman standing before the public, all but admitting to her past and cutting ties with Landon.Anyone could see just how much Thalia loved Landon to give up herself. But Thalia was the only one who knew just how much bitterness and heartache that love carried.Landon kept his head raised, watching her face fade away as every screen went dark.Thalia was gone.Not only from the screens, but from the whole city.

She walked out of the airport, took a cab, and ended up in

    15 minutes later, Leslie still hadn't seen Thalia. He went upstairs and knocked on the apartment door. After about two minutes, he sensed something was wrong and kicked it open without hesitation.The door flew open.Inside, it was quiet. A vase of white calla lilies bloomed, yet the silence was deafening.He called out a couple of times. Still, there was nothing but silence.He searched every corner, even the bathroom, but there was no sign of Thalia. Stepping back outside, he noticed a long hallway that connected to another entrance.With a heavy heart, he dialed Landon's number.On the other end, heated arguments were already underway. Even Dexter and his wife had turned up, which showed just how serious things had gotten.Landon was firm, but the outcome would still hurt the shareholders' interests.Some asked him to break up with Thalia for now and pick a woman from a family of equal status to get engaged to instead. Once the scandal died down, they could cancel that engag

    Thalia left.Willow ran after her, feeling sorry for her. She comforted her softly and then said to Leslie, "Take her to the Ziegler residence. I don't think it's safe for her to stay at the apartment. At least there, someone can keep an eye on her. If not, send her to Gabriella's and Xavier's place."She trusted Gabriella to handle things. And Xavier was reliable now too.Leslie nodded. "Don't worry, Ms. Harper. I'll make sure Ms. Sherman gets there safely."He had watched Thalia suffer all along the way, so he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. Resting a hand lightly on her shoulder like an older brother, he said, "Come on, let's take the garage exit."By now, the reporters had already surrounded Nebula Group so tightly that there was no way out.The revelation that the future Mrs. Ziegler had once worked at a club hit like a bombshell.It was destined to be a sleepless night tonight.Thalia followed Leslie like a lost soul, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned ba
