Here is the translated, proofread, and novelized version of Chapter 19:

Chapter 19

While Art cooked breakfast for Hilda, she busied herself organizing the items they had bought earlier. There were so many that she couldn't help but wonder how he managed to carry them all into the house by himself.

Not long after, a few new appliances were delivered—an oven, rice cooker, and refrigerator. Art had opened the fridge earlier, and Hilda had already stored most of their groceries inside. Now, she was arranging the canned goods in a high drawer. Since she couldn’t reach it, she pulled over a high chair and climbed up.

Art noticed her and quietly stepped on the chair’s metal footrest to stabilize it, just in case it wobbled.

“We saw Aron Nicastro earlier. You've already invited him to the house. What’s your next move?” Art asked, his tone neutral as he flipped a pancake.

“I’m not sure,” Hilda replied as she leaned down to grab a few cans from the sink. “But I’ll do my best to get close to him

    Chapter 44I don’t know why, but ever since the incident at the main hall, I haven’t seen Art.“Mama, is Papa busy again?” Peri asked.We were inside the playroom. Both kids were lying on the carpet, working on a puzzle together.“Maybe, honey,” I replied, glancing at Aoi, who was inside the room with Ivory.“Aoi, what’s going on outside? What’s keeping Art so busy?” I asked. It had been almost four days since I last saw Art. I hadn’t really asked around, knowing he was locked in his office and not leaving the building.“Just papers, Miss Hilda… and meetings,” Aoi answered, scratching his cheek. But he didn’t answer everything I asked.For some reason, Art had also told me to stay inside the main building and, if possible, remain in our room.It was nap time. Once the twins had fallen asleep, I quietly slipped out of the playroom. Nari followed me, saying she hadn’t seen Art come out of his room either.I went to his office and knocked. When I opened the door, I was surprised by the m

    Chapter 43After my conversation with Art, I started feeling a bit better. He had a point, after all.“Mama? Are you okay now? Beryl and I got worried because you didn’t leave your room after you and Dad left during breakfast,” Peri said as he hugged my leg the moment I stepped out of the room and was greeted by my children.I knelt and looked at Beryl, meeting her eye level. I didn’t need to question what Dad did—because as a parent, there's nothing a mother or father wouldn’t do for their child.When Dad tried to force me to abort my children and I had nowhere to run, I was at my weakest. But to protect them, and to be with them, I jumped off the yacht. God knows how much I wanted to live—that’s why I ended up under the Nicastro’s care, playing hide and seek with death.“There’s nothing else I want in this lifetime but to see you grow up healthy, happy, and smart enough so that no one can abuse you or look down on you,” I whispered as I stared into my children's eyes.“What are you

    Chapter 42In the end, the elder Alegre took his own life—right after Hilda finally found it in her heart to forgive him.There was nothing Hilda could do in that moment but cry, sinking helplessly into Arthur’s arms.Arthur clenched his fists. If only he had known what the old man was planning, he would’ve ended it before dawn—he would have killed him himself and told Hilda he escaped.“Don’t I deserve to be loved by a parent? Why would Dad do this to me? Am I really that hard to love and taking care of?!”Arthur couldn’t bring himself to speak. The old man’s actions had been completely unexpected. He had taken his life out of the blue. There was nothing unusual on the CCTV—no one had entered or left the room after Hilda, except for...Nari.Arthur turned to Nari, who stood with her head bowed, unable to meet their eyes.“Nari,” Arthur called.She stepped forward, her hands behind her back and an unreadable expression on her face.Arthur asked her if she had noticed anything strange

    Chapter 41I purposely woke up early to visit Arthur and ask him to teach me how to read. Of course, he had no idea I was planning to show up at his office.“What are you doing here, Kyline?”The hallway was empty—no guards posted outside—and the office door was slightly ajar. I froze when I saw a stunning woman inside, standing in front of Arthur.“I just wanted to see you. Am I disturbing you?” the woman asked gently, her lips curled into a soft smile.My brows furrowed when she suddenly reached out and placed her hand on Arthur’s chest. He quickly pushed her hand away and stood up, visibly irritated.“If you’re done and don’t need anything else, get lost. I have a mountain of paperwork to deal with,” Arthur said flatly, straightening in his seat.I rolled my eyes. Just how many flies buzz around this old man? Though calling him old might be a stretch—he's only in his thirties, and with that face and charisma, he hardly looks it. The woman wasn’t much older than me either, probably

    Chapter 40"I want to marry her instead," Arthur declared, the memory of that night at the venue flashing vividly in his mind.From the moment Hilda arrived, Arthur had his eyes locked on her. He didn’t even glance away once. He noticed Aron from a distance, also watching Hilda while silently downing glass after glass of alcohol—his composure eerily steady. That was when Arthur discreetly called one of the waiters and gave a chilling command: to drug Hilda’s drink.Then Aron approached her. Arthur hadn’t originally planned to intervene, but when he saw Hilda starting to lose consciousness, he found himself gripping her arm tightly, reacting before he could even think.Now here he was again, acting on instinct, with no real plan. His gaze dropped to Hilda’s flushed cheeks, and all of a sudden, clarity hit him. He had meant to ask Aron which room Hilda would be taken to, but when she uttered his name and clung to him, his heart pounded wildly. He began to question everything.Could he r

    Chapter 39 "Fairies!" Peri exclaimed with delight as Hilda and Beryl stepped out of the dressing room, both wearing vibrant red dresses. Arthur froze in place, his gaze fixed on the two girls who now stood before him—two of the most important people in his life."Mama! You look like the fairies from the books!" Peri clapped gleefully as he looked up at the pair, laughter bubbling in his voice."What do you think, Art?" Hilda twirled in front of Arthur, the hem of her dress flaring gracefully. She asked him with a shy smile if the red dress suited her.Arthur's expression softened. "You look stunning but i like the best if you dont wear anything—"Hilda immediately slapped a hand over his mouth, her face turning crimson. "What were you about to say?""I'm just joking," Arthur chuckled, holding her wrist lightly.After shopping for dresses, they headed straight to the playground. Beryl immediately ran off to the slide, with Peri right behind her. Around them, other families were enjoyi
