Chapter 279

The sound of soft music continued to echo through the ballroom of the Crawley family’s hotel. Guests laughed, chatted, and enjoyed the luxurious atmosphere of the evening. A ring was already wrapped around Rebecca’s finger—or more precisely, Ellya’s, in everyone’s eyes. Only Rebecca wasn’t enjoying the party.

She stood beside Aric, trying to smile at the guests who came one after another to offer congratulations. The crystal lights made her eyes slightly dazed, but the discomfort she felt was far worse.

“Darling,” Aric called, leaning slightly toward Rebecca. “What’s wrong?”

Rebecca shook her head quickly. “Nothing… I’m just a bit dizzy.”

Aric nodded. “Then after this, you should rest.”

Before Rebecca could answer, a group of Aric’s friends approached with cheerful faces.

“Ah, here’s our soon-to-be newlyweds!” exclaimed one tall man in a gray suit.

“Aric, you’re really lucky,” added another. “Ellya looks stunning tonight.”

Rebecca only gave a small smile. She tried to rema

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 96The European airport still felt cold when Jessy finally stepped outside. She did not have time to enjoy anything. After getting into the car, she immediately opened her phone.“Dilan, let’s go straight to the office,” she said briefly.Dilan, who was sitting beside the driver, nodded. “The team is already waiting. The problem… is more complicated than the initial report.”Jessy exhaled. “I expected that.”Upon arriving at the European branch of the Ellanan Group building, Jessy had not even had time to sit down when several managers immediately surrounded her.“Mrs. Jessy, this report is not synchronized,” said one of the finance staff.“The partner contracts are also stalled,” another added. “They are holding back their signatures.”Jessy raised her hand. “One at a time. Don’t speak at the same time.”She entered the meeting room. Dilan immediately turned on the large screen. Numbers filled the display.“This doesn’t make sense,” Jessy said while pointing at the

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 95Reno returned to the Wilson residence with heavy steps. The house felt too quiet even though it was not empty. He sat on the living room sofa, staring at the floor for a long time. His head was full.“I was really careless,” he murmured softly. “Making decisions while emotional.”He rubbed his face, then took out his phone. Jessy’s name appeared on the screen. Reno hesitated for a moment, then pressed the call button.“Reno?” Jessy’s voice came from the other end. “What’s wrong?”“Where are you now?” Reno asked, trying to sound calm.“I haven’t left yet,” Jessy replied. “The flight is delayed. I’m still in the waiting lounge.”Reno let out a sigh of relief without realizing it. “Oh.”“What’s wrong with you?” Jessy asked suspiciously.Reno fell silent for a moment. “Nothing. I’ll call you later.”Before Jessy could ask further, the call ended. Jessy stared at her phone in confusion.On the other side, Reno suddenly stood up. He grabbed his car keys and hurried out

    Several days passed after the incident at the Wilson residence. Reno had finally fully recovered. His body no longer felt heavy, his head was clear again, although his mind was still filled with regret. At the same time, Jessy had already left for Europe that morning, without many farewell words. Reno knew that her departure was not merely about work.That afternoon, Reno stood in front of Bella’s apartment. His hand lifted as if to knock, then fell again. He took a deep breath before finally knocking on the door.A few seconds later, the door opened. Bella stood there with an expressionless face. Her eyes were no longer swollen like the day before, but instead looked empty.“What is it?” Bella asked shortly.Reno swallowed. “I want to talk.”Bella opened the door wider, then turned and walked inside without saying anything. Reno followed her. The apartment was tidy—too tidy—as if there was no space left for emotion.Bella sat down on the sofa. “Talk.”Reno stood a few steps in front

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 93The Wilson residence felt empty again. Since morning, Rebecca and Samuel had taken Shelyn and Elang out. They said they wanted to buy books and have lunch outside. The two children left with cheerful faces, although they hugged Jessy longer than usual.“Don’t forget to keep Mom updated,” Jessy said while straightening Elang’s collar.“Yes,” Elang replied firmly.Shelyn nodded quickly. “We’ll wait for Mom’s call.”Their car drove away from the yard. Jessy stood there for a few seconds, then went back inside the house. She glanced at the wall clock. There was still enough time before her departure, but she wanted to stop by her apartment first to pick up some documents.She was organizing her bag when the sound of the front door opening loudly echoed.“Reno?” Jessy murmured, startled.Footsteps were heard, unsteady. Reno appeared at the edge of the living room. His shirt was wrinkled, his face flushed, and the smell of alcohol was unmistakable.“Reno, what’s wrong

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 92The morning at the Wilson residence felt quieter than usual. The dining table was neatly set. Rebecca was busy pouring warm tea, while Samuel read the newspaper. Reno sat at the end of the table, occasionally glancing toward the stairs. Not long after, Jessy came down together with Shelyn and Elang.“Good morning,” Jessy greeted softly.“Morning, Mom,” Shelyn replied cheerfully, though her eyes were still slightly puffy from just waking up.Elang pulled out his own chair and sat properly. “Morning, Dad.”Reno gave a faint smile. “Morning.”They began breakfast. Several minutes passed in silence until Jessy finally spoke.“Kids,” she said while looking at both of her children. “Mom wants to talk for a moment.”Shelyn and Elang immediately turned to her.“Tonight Mom has to leave for Europe,” Jessy continued calmly. “There’s an issue at the office that Mom has to take care of.”Shelyn stopped chewing. “Tonight?”Jessy nodded. “Yes.”Elang looked at his plate for a

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 91It was already late at night when Jessy’s car pulled back into the courtyard of the Wilson residence. The house lights were still on, but the atmosphere was calm. From the outside, the house looked peaceful, in contrast to Jessy’s mind, which was full of considerations.She stepped inside slowly. Rebecca, who was still in the living room, immediately stood up.“Jessy?” her voice was lowered. “You’re back already?”“Yes, Aunt,” Jessy answered softly. “Are the children asleep?”“They are,” Rebecca replied. “Shellyn fell asleep quickly, but Elang did ask where you were.”Jessy gave a faint smile. “I’ll talk to them tomorrow morning.”Samuel appeared from the direction of the dining room. “You look tired.”“A little,” Jessy admitted honestly.Reno, who had been sitting on the sofa all this time, also stood up. His gaze was fixed on Jessy, but he did not speak right away.“There’s something I need to say,” Jessy said after taking a breath. “Tomorrow I have to go to Eu
