Chapter 514

Author: Chronos
When the plane landed in Heatherton City, the airport broadcast just happened to announce, "We wish all passengers a Happy New Year."

Francesco glanced at his wristwatch. The minute hand had just crossed midnight.

Standing on familiar soil, he lifted his eyes toward the sky filled with fireworks. The sound felt piercing, the colors almost painful to look at.

He got into the car and gave a calm order. "To the Slater family estate."

At this hour, most people were spending the New Year with the

    "Get some rest. I didn't come to you because I wanted anything from you. I just... I just... Good night, Adriana."Francesco lifted his hand, wanting to touch her head, but fearing she would become angry, he lowered it dejectedly.He only wanted to stay with her for a little while. Even if she mocked him coldly, he would accept it willingly.Adriana stared at the gently closed door.Slowly, her body slid downward until she sat on the floor beside the bed, hugging her knees to her chest.Her harsh words were a blade with sharp edges on both sides. They wounded Francesco, but they also left her covered in blood.She was good at handling complicated experimental data. Yet when it came to complicated emotions, she was completely helpless.From childhood until now, the only healthy love she had ever witnessed was between her parents.But when they left her, she was only eight years old. At that age, she didn't even understand what love was.Later, during the six months she spent be

    "Mine." Francesco appeared at the corner of the hallway, his tall figure standing straight and composed."Bianca, take Bella back to her room to rest."His expression was cold, and his tone carried an authority that left no room for refusal.Bianca immediately grabbed Bella and hurried toward the other side of the hallway.After two doors closed one after another, the corridor fell silent.Only the two of them remained, facing each other with their gazes locked.Adriana took two steps back, retreating into her room.A strong hand pressed against the door, and its owner followed her inside.Adriana's voice turned cold."Get out."Francesco closed the door behind him and gave a faint, humorless smile."This is my house. Who exactly are you asking to leave?"He sounded calm, but his heart was pounding as if it might break free from his chest. After being apart for so long, this was the first time he had been this close to her.No one else was around. There was only the two of

    "Aren't you a photography enthusiast?" Francesco suddenly asked."I just don't like using my phone to take pictures of them. I usually use a camera."Adriana quickly covered for herself.She put down her spoon and smiled."I'm full. Please excuse me."Grandpa Scott immediately said, "Have a little more. Look at how thin you've gotten. It's lively with so many people here today. I suppose this old man has been talking too much."Adriana gave him a polite smile."Grandpa, I'm really full. Everything was delicious. If I eat any more, I'll be too full. Once you've finished, we can chat slowly.""Alright, alright. We'll talk later."Adriana left the dining room and walked out into the courtyard.The cold air instantly seeped into her skin, and she shivered, wrapping her arms around herself.Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the snow-covered ground in front of her.A coat was draped over her shoulders, and warmth slowly returned to her body."What are you looking at?"Francesco st

    Bella slipped her phone into her pocket and forced herself to remain calm."Francesco, eavesdropping on someone's phone call isn't exactly gentlemanly behavior."Adriana had hidden the fact that Milo and Maeve were also in Beryl City because she was afraid Grandpa Scott and Francesco would want to visit the children.Although she hadn't mentioned Milo or Maeve by name during the call, Francesco had definitely become suspicious.Francesco leaned there leisurely, completely unhurried."Just happened to pass by. Your voice was loud enough that it would've been difficult not to hear."He was silent for awhile, then asked casually, "Did Adriana's twins come here too?""We already said it in the living room. The kids are too young to travel. Yes, we brought three children to Beryl City, but the other two belong to my relatives."After saying that, Bella walked around him and returned to the living room. Only after she reached a place where Francesco could no longer see her did she pa

    Bella set down her bowl, rendered speechless by his words.After all, he was the person who had saved their lives. Still, she felt Francesco was using his words to criticize Adriana indirectly.Adriana knew she was in the wrong, so she pretended not to hear. She and Bella had indeed acted on impulse and started walking down the mountain without properly considering the risks.Bella's eyes darted back and forth between Francesco and Adriana. She gave an awkward laugh."I was worried about Pomme, so I dragged Adriana down the mountain with me. It's all my fault, my fault."Grandpa Scott, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly looked sharp and clear-eyed."The child is here?"Before Bella could answer, Adriana replied,"Yes. Bella brought her child with her.""What about Milo and Maeve?" Grandpa Scott asked.Francesco's back stiffened. He held his breath and immediately focused on Adriana's answer."Milo and Maeve are still too young, so we didn't bring them."

    Bella hooked her arm through Adriana's and whispered, "Why do I feel Francesco is even scarier than the wild boars?"Relieved to see her joking again, Adriana let out a quiet breath."You change really fast. A moment ago, you were crying all over my shoulder. Now you're laughing like nothing happened."Bella laughed brightly."As the saying goes, surviving a great disaster brings future blessings. The two of us are definitely in for some good fortune."Adriana wasn't sure whether future blessings awaited them, but she was certain they had immediate troubles to deal with.Francesco led them into the living room, where the warmth of the heating instantly chased away the cold."Grandpa, Bianca, we have guests.""Who is it?"Grandpa Scott and Bianca, who had been playing a boardgame, looked over at the same time.The moment Bianca saw Adriana and Bella, she let out an excited cry and jumped to her feet."Adriana! What are you doing here?"Before Adriana could answer, Bianca tur

    Chris had fractured two ribs and suffered multiple broken bones. After enduring a night of bitter cold, he had then plunged into the icy river, leaving him in even worse condition than last time.One phone call from Alex was enough to summon Alex's grandfather, George Nash, back from the south, whe

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of

    Adriana stepped forward with calm composure. "Dean, gentlemen, this really isn't such a big deal. I'm sorry you had to make the trip."Dean got straight to the point. "Where's Chris?""He's in his ward. The doctor has instructed that no one disturb him for now, and he doesn't wish to see anyone."

    Alex skimmed through the two articles in the newspaper, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash.If Chris saw the second article, he would only get angry all over again."And this Francesco… his remarks are completely inappropriate.""Achoo!"Francesco, lounging against the edg
