Masuk“Zevrick! Daddy brought you a toy! Zevrick? Where are you, son?”Archer didn't find Zevrick in the crib, he was busy shouting and looking for his son until Geneva came with an annoyed expression.“You’re so noisy, Archer! I just managed to put Zevrick to sleep and you’re making a scene after coming home from shopping.”Geneva's steps led the woman to the room. She didn't want to keep carrying Zevrick, which of course made Geneva's hands very sore. If other people were sensitive, the little baby seemed to know his mother's scent and touch, and that made Zevrick spoiled and reluctant to be held by anyone else, even Grace, who was very used to caring for babies. If Zevrick refused to be held by Archer, that was normal, because Archer's way of holding a baby was very uncomfortable. However, that didn't stop Archer from continuing to make Zevrick want to stay longer in his father's arms.“Oh my. Did I spend so long shopping that Zevrick fell asleep again? Wasn’t he just waking up when I de
Zevrick was a very calm baby boy while having experienced his mother's hugs. Archer had to admit that a mother's presence was indeed very influential in calming a child, especially a baby. Once again, he was grateful for what his son had experienced. At least Zevrick wouldn't grow up to be someone who was easily angered and offended like Archer. Most importantly, Archer prayed that his son would have a good relationship with his father, who was none other than Archer himself.When looking at Archer's father-son relationship with Harold, it's filled with chaos. Distrust prevents Archer from building a good relationship with Harold."What are you looking at, Archer?" Geneva scolded Archer.Archer, who was watching Zevrick suckle on his mother's breast, with his left hand supporting his head, and without realizing it, his smile was so wide in front of Geneva's eyes, finally coughed because he swallowed his own saliva. Nervousness seized him because he had found Geneva's annoyed glint in
“Be careful. Don’t force your steps, just walk slowly.”Geneva can't stand Archer's growing protectiveness, subjecting her to too much of his boring words.“Take it slow. You’ll still come home and meet our child, there’s no need to rush, Geneva.”“Hey, Archer.”“Yes?”“Can't you be calm?”Archer's brow furrowed at Geneva's question."Am I not calm?"Geneva shook her head. "You can't calm down because you keep telling me to walk slowly, be careful, don't rush, and so on. Even though I'm walking at a very normal pace, to you I seem to be walking haphazardly."Archer looked at her with a slightly confused expression, but he still answered stubbornly. “Oh, I’m sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. But I’m still doing it for your own good. To make sure you stay safe around me.”“You're overreacting, Archer.”"I'd rather take care of you too much than go through the pain of losing you, because that would be too much for me to bear."That reasoning had already silenced Geneva, although she
Geneva felt her body grow weak. She didn't know when she'd emerged from the suffocating room. Essentially, when she opened her eyes, everything was bright. So bright that Geneva couldn't even open them wide, as the discomfort would overwhelm her, making her uncomfortable.“Geneva!”Geneva could hear Archer's voice so clearly in her ears, she thought she was hallucinating due to insufficient oxygen supply.Geneva desperately wanted to open her mouth to speak, but it seemed she couldn't muster the strength. Her tongue was stiff, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time.“Geneva, honey. Just a moment, okay? The doctor will come and examine you. Don’t worry, I’ll always be here for you.”Geneva didn't seem to be dreaming; she could faintly see Archer's face. There were lines of anxiety and panic, but Geneva couldn't think much of it. She just wanted to make sure she wasn't in that dark room anymore.“Ar–Archer?” Geneva called out stutteringly.Geneva felt her grip on his hand tighten. “Yes?
Throughout his life, Archer had never felt at peace. He realized that it all revolved around a father figure who couldn't fulfill his role properly. That's why Archer had no desire to be like Harold, who was so foolish as to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and even a father. Even so, Archer also realized that the more he hated his father, the more often fate deliberately trapped him in situations similar to Harold's. Fate seemed to want to see if Archer could truly be different from his father. First, Archer tried to avoid relationships with women based solely on love. He was ready to choose the path of marriage based on business strength. However, Noel disrupted those plans and brought Geneva into his life. The turmoil he felt was a manifestation of the discomfort he felt due to the love he felt for Geneva. No matter how much he denied it, it would never leave his heart. Second, while Archer tried to hide his love for Geneva in the hope that she wouldn't get into a bad si
"Take my son into my room. Don't let anyone come in and hold him."Archer gave very clear and unquestionable orders regarding the child who had now lost her mother due to the selfishness of those who disliked Geneva."Archer, this is not going to be good for any of us. What do you really know about the disappearance of your son's mother?""I know a lot of things, Dad. What really happened in this house is hell. You are the one who brought hell itself, Dad. You brought the human being who destroyed our family!"Archer lashed out at Harold with anger and annoyance. "Can you stop beating around the bush? What do you mean by all this?""That wife of yours, the woman you brought into this house decades ago, she is the one who brought disaster! She killed my biological mother, took the position of your wife, and now has her son compete with me."Harold was silent, and that was when Sorcha vehemently denied what Archer had said."What kind of stupid things are you saying? Why are you so crue
