Matilda's was lively and full of conversation. “What did we have for lunch today?” she mused out loud, straining her brain to remember. “Porridge… No, that's not it. It was noodles, right?” Owen nodded, a gentle smile on his face. “That's right.” Grandma Matilda beamed proudly. “See, I told you I'm fine. My mind is sharp as ever.”

The eve of the event came by quickly. The Knight-Cabot joint venture was a billion-dollar partnership. And the celebration was being held in full glittering force at the Sterling Grand Hotel. Knight employees packed the venue. Several Cabots had even flown in from Boston to mark the occasion. Back at the hospital, Cecilia was all dressed up and was being carefully lifted into her wheelchair by Jonathan. Jonah looked at her with amusement. "You hate these things. Are you sure you want to come along?" he asked with a smile. "You should probably stay. If you don't want to be alone, I'll stay here with you," Carmella added. Cecilia stared down at her phone, pouty and glum. "No." Ever since yesterday, she had tightened her grip on her phone like it was the only thing holding her together. "I need to be there. She said she

Ruby caught the look on Leo's face and instantly realized what she'd done. She scrambled to backtrack. Her heart lurched as she began to understand she was indeed describing Owen. The words froze on her tongue and pivoted midair. "And he has to be kind," she rushed on, almost tripping over herself. "Warm, someone who tells jokes, you know, a total sweetheart." Leo blinked. "A sweetheart?" That was the polar opposite of the boss. The man was a walking thundercloud, an absolute ice king. Seeing Leo's crestfallen expression, Ruby finally let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. Her cheeks burned. Annoyed with the puppy's leisurely pace, she bent down, scooped up Kitty, and hurried toward the exit without another word. Leo sighed. "Well. So much for the boss's chances."

Leo felt like his head was about to explode. Carter had done nothing. And yet he was being handed a position on a silver platter, just like that. The really thought, the very ease with which Carter was making strides in the company made Leo's blood boil. But he also knew better. He knew that with the deal between the two companies at such a critical point, a request like this was small potatoes to the Knight Group. With all these executives staring them down, Owen couldn't just shoot down a minor staffing change. It was infuriating. What was Jonathan's problem anyway? Even if the Cabots held a grudge, shouldn't their beef be with the main branch of the Knight family? Why is he coming after Owen? Owen, however, showed no sign of agitation. He was a master at keeping his emotions under wraps. Years at the top had honed him into someone who could bury his feelings so deeply. They might as we

As Isabel had expected, the anger in Natalia's expression softened. She walked over and sighed, pulling her daughter close. "Oh, you silly girl. Why are you so sensitive? Besides, Ruby has stayed away all these years precisely because she was worried about this. She never wanted to take me from you, and I could never love her more than you. Don't let your imagination run away with you." Isabel sniffled. "Really?" Natalia chuckled. "Why would I lie to you?" A watery smile broke through Isabel's tears. "Then say it. Say you love me the most." Natalia sounded a little exasperated, but she played along for the sake of peace. "All right, Mom loves you the most." Isabel's smile felt a little more genuine right up until her mother added, "But from now on

Nina glanced at the text, a small smile forming with her eidetic memory. She now connected the dots. Jonathan Cabot had already introduced himself to her over the phone back then, but she hadn't realised he was the same man Owen wanted to partner up with. What a small world. Ruby typed back. Okay, I'm on my way. In Cecilia's hospital room. Tension hung heavily. Jonathan checked his phone, then glanced around. Instead, his sister curled up motionless on the bed with a pale face. Their parents, Jonah and Carmella, paced anxiously nearby. "C.C., if you don't cooperate with your physical therapy, how are you ever going to get better? Please just be reasonable." Jonah pleaded, but Cecilia was resolute. "If you don't let me see Miss Anderson, I'm not doing any of it." Jonathan's brow creased. His sister's sheltered life had made her stubborn. That

The question hung in the air. Carter was ecstatic. And in his stupidity, he missed the sarcastic grin on Owen's face. Owen paused for a moment, then added sarcastically. Or even better. How about I give you my position? Carter Knight, CEO of Knight Corp. Sounds better, doesn't it? Carter's breath hitched. Children, or knowingly share germs with one another, especially when they play. I used to get worried when he was away from me. But not anymore. His excitement vanished. The question hung in the air.

Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the
