“Wow, quite the fashion sense already,” Gia teased. Then her tone softened, touched with admiration. “But really, Auri, you’re doing amazing. Between running Nocture and taking care of your husband, Junior never lacks attention. You’ve managed your time so well.”Auri fell quiet for a moment, her gaze drifting down to the sketch of a flower arrangement in front of her. Her fingers rested lightly on the paper, but her thoughts seemed to move somewhere deeper. “I just want him to grow up with a stable life, Gia. I don’t want him to go through the kind of chaos that… well, you know what my past was like.”Gia nodded, understanding immediately. She didn’t press further, choosing instead to gently steer the conversation away. “Alright, back to work then. About the design for Lucas’s event, have you thought about the structure for the main table? I think using tall crystal vases could really add a dramatic touch.”Auri pulled a fresh sheet of paper toward her and bega

“Junior… oh my goodness, I missed you so much!”Gia’s bright, cheerful voice rang out the moment the glass door swung open. The fresh, unmistakable scent of flowers wrapped around Auri instantly, familiar and comforting. Gia quickly set her pruning shears down on the large worktable and hurried over to them.“Gia, take it easy. Junior fell asleep in the car earlier, he’s probably still a little dazed,” Auri said with a soft laugh as she lowered him gently from her arms.Two of Nocture’s staff, Chloe and Sarah, came over as well, their faces lighting up the second they saw him. They adored Junior. To them, the little boy was practically Nocture’s good-luck charm. Whenever he was around, the shop felt brighter, warmer, as if his presence alone could lift the entire atmosphere.“Hello there, little boss! Want to help me arrange some flowers today?” Sarah asked, crouching down so she was at ey

Auri studied him for a moment, the seriousness in his eyes leaving no room for argument. In the end, she nodded. “Alright, if it helps you feel better. Pak Jhon will take us. You’re unusually protective this morning… what’s going on?”“I just want you safe,” Lucas answered quietly. He reached for her hand and pressed a lingering kiss to the back of it, as if that alone could seal his promise.A small burst of chaos followed when Junior began tapping his spoon repeatedly against the table, the sharp clinking breaking the calm. Lucas had just started to rise when the phone on the table vibrated violently. The name Mark flashed across the screen.He picked it up immediately. “Yeah, Mark? What is it?”Mark’s voice came through tense and strained. “Mr. Lucas, we have a serious problem. The partnership we just signed yesterday… they pulled out unilaterally this morning.”Lucas went very still. His jaw tightened slowly, his gaze drifting toward the window, unfocused. His free hand curled int

“Papa! Pa… pa…!”Lucas felt tiny fingers patting his cheek with uncontainable enthusiasm. He opened his eyes slowly, greeted by Junior’s bright, bubbling laughter. The little boy was already standing upright on the bed, his hair a messy tangle just like his father’s in the morning, but his eyes sparkled with pure, restless energy.“Hey, my boy’s already up?” Lucas’s voice came out rough with sleep. He reached out, scooped the child into his arms, and lifted him high into the air, drawing delighted giggles from him.Auri appeared from the walk-in closet, already neat in a casual yet effortlessly elegant outfit. She smiled at the sight on the bed. “He’s been asking for milk since six, Lucas. I just changed his clothes, and now he’s ready to turn your day upside down.”Lucas settled Junior onto his lap and looked at his wife with quiet warmth. “Junior never turns my day upside down, Aurel. He’s the biggest reason I want to wake up every morning.”Auri’s smile softened. “Alright then, go

After the call ended, Ethan slipped his phone back into his pocket and rejoined the conversation. The rest of the day carried a different weight, a quiet anticipation threading through every moment. Hope settled in his chest, unfamiliar and unsteady, leaving him both nervous and strangely alive.That night, the house felt unusually silent when he stepped inside. The stillness wrapped around him as he moved through the entrance, until he found Valencia seated in the living room. She wasn’t watching television, nor was she distracted by her phone. Instead, an old photo album rested open on her lap, displaying a picture of Junior as a baby.She looked up, her eyes slightly swollen, as if she had been holding back more than just memories. “You’re home, Ethan? Come, sit with me.”He crossed the room and lowered himself onto the sofa beside her. Valencia closed the album slowly, her fingers lingering on the cover as though she wasn’t quite ready to let it go. “How did it go? Does Mr. Vance

The bright morning sunlight streamed through the large glass windows of H&N’s office, spilling into Ethan’s workspace and illuminating every corner of the expansive room. Despite the warmth of the light, the atmosphere inside felt taut, almost brittle.Ethan sat upright, his posture rigid as he fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man who had just taken a seat across from him.The man was Arthur Vance, a senior lawyer who had been working with H&N for years. Dressed in a neatly tailored gray suit, Arthur carried himself with ease. His wide smile and the friendly glint in his eyes should have softened the mood, yet the tension lingered. Ethan remained visibly stiff, his composure held together by sheer control.Beside him, Rick stood ready, a digital tablet in hand, prepared to take notes.“So, Mr. Vance,” Rick began after taking a measured sip of his black coffee, his tone calm but purposeful. “As I explained over the phone last night, Mr. Ethan would like to revisit the visitation agree
