The weekend finally came. The drive up the mountain took two hours.

Maya pressed her face to the window, watching the trees blur past. "Are we there yet?" she asked every ten minutes. Vance answered every time with the same patient "Almost." Nerissa smiled from the passenger seat, her hand resting on his knee.

  • The Affair Revenge My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me   Chapter 228 The Anti Popular Guy

    The morning sun was bright over the city beach.Sam pulled the Horizon van into the parking lot and killed the engine. He got out without a word, walked to the back, and began unloading the gear. Tanks. Masks. Fins. A waterproof tablet for mapping. A cooler with water and snacks.Celeste stayed in the passenger seat for a moment, watching him through the windshield. He moved with easy efficiency, his hands sure and steady. He didn't look at her. He was too busy being excited to do the diving and brought her into all of these ilogical trouble.She got out. two minutes later. Her tablet and a leather portfolio on her hand. She found a spot on the sand far enough from the water to stay dry, but close enough to observe.She sat down. Opened her tablet to start the real job, not these nonsense of diving in the monday morning when other people busy go to work.She had spreadsheets to review. Data to analyze. Reports to file. That was why she was here. That was her job.Around her, the beach

    The sea air hit Lydia's face the moment she stepped out of the car.She stopped and closed her eyes. Breathed in.She could almost feel it in her tongue and nose, salt air. She also noticed kelp, something green and alive. It was nothing like the recycled air of Astera Spire, nothing like the perfume and coffee of the executive floor. This was nature, and she didn't realize how much she need it after years."You okay?" Derek Okafor appeared beside her, his duffel bag slung over one shoulder. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with the easy confidence he brought everywhere.Lydia opened her eyes. "Fine. Just... adjusting.""Adjusting," Marcus Kwame repeated from behind them. He was shorter, leaner, with round glasses and a perpetually furrowed brow. He carried two bags and a waterproof case that probably held equipment he refused to trust to anyone else. "We've been in the car for four hours. You've had time to adjust.""Four hours in a car is different from four hours breathing salt air."

    The silence filled the room. Celeste's words echoed through everyone's mind.Highly allergic to a popular charming guy.After what felt like an eternity of absorbing the words, the silence was first broken by Daniel's burst of laughter."Is that a new kind of allergy? How unbelievable!" He held his stomach as his shoulders trembled with laughter. Priya shot a death glare at him. Nerissa and Vance watched him silently. Sam tilted his head, his mouth slightly open. Celeste looked at him as if he were the strangest person who dared to laugh in this situation.His laughter grated on her nerves. She could feel her jaw tightening, her fingers curling against the leather portfolio. She did not understand how anyone could find this amusing. There was nothing amusing about being forced into proximity with someone whose very presence unsettled her.Daniel caught himself. "Sorry..." He brushed his jacket and tried to compose himself. "I am sorry."But his eyes still held a glint of mirth. Celest

    Sam held up his hands. "Easy there. We are just trying to help."She did not relax. "Do you think that easy smile will always make everyone go easy on you?" Her voice was sharp. "Put your stupid smile away. And step back."Sam lowered his hands. He did not smile. But he did not argue.The woman gathered her dog into her arms. The dog whimpered. She held it close."Papa Sam," Maya whispered, "she is scary."Sam hushed her. He put his hand on her shoulder, pulling her slightly behind him.The woman heard Maya. She looked at her. Her gaze was cold."Teach that daughter of yours some manners," she said.She turned and walked away.Maya pressed herself against Sam's leg. He did not move. He watched the woman disappear around the bend.Then he knelt beside Maya."You okay?"She nodded. "She was mean.""She was scared," Sam said. "Her dog was hurt. People say unkind things when they are scared."Maya considered this. "Is that why Grandpa was mean?"Sam paused. He looked at her."Yes," he said

    A week had passed since the lunch.Blackwood Mansion had settled into a new rhythm. Breakfast was now a family affair, William at the head of the table, Lily on his right, Vance on his side, Maya beside Lily, and Nerissa beside Vance. The silence was no longer hostile. It was simply... silence.Vance and William still did not speak beyond formal greetings. William still ignored Nerissa's presence, treating her as Vance's wife but not his daughter-in-law. He spoke little, humming responses or staying silent entirely. But he did not reject Maya's visits. He let her sit in his room and tell him about her day. He let her show him her drawings.It was easier to build a new relationship with an innocent child than with adults who carried their own egos and wounds. Maya did not expect anything from William except his presence. She did not demand love or apology. She simply offered her own.Since the confrontation, the mansion was at peace. William was a little bit less grumpy. A very little b

    Maya stood in the hallway, her small hand clutching a piece of paper. She had drawn it carefully, Grandmother Lily on one side, Father on the other, Mama beside him, and herself in the middle. And at the far end, Grandfather William. She had given him a smile.She had not told anyone she was coming. She had simply taken her drawing and walked.The door was closed. She knocked."Come in."It was Lily who speaked this time.Maya pushed the door open. Her heart beaten frantically as she was nervous, her eyes darting between William and Liy.William sat in the armchair by the window. His eyes were still red. He looked at her... and froze. His heart skipped a beat as he noticed her at his doorway again. Still coming again despite how he had treat her yesterday. Part of him felt a pang of guilt, the other... was genuinely felt a flicker of hope.She stepped inside. She held out the drawing."I am sorry you are sick, Grandpa," she said. "I drew this for you."William stared at the paper. The

    The printed email sat on my keyboard. I picked it up. The words were careful, but the meaning was clear. Chen was trying to cause doubt. He was trying to hurt the project, and to hurt me.The handwritten question mark at the bottom was the only note. It wasn't an order. It was a test.I didn't feel
