บททั้งหมดของ Love in Twilight: บทที่ 1611 - บทที่ 1620

The trip to Lesia this time was different for Ned.In the past, Lesia was a place where he had a chance to turn things around. Later, it was just one of the many places he had visited, and there were no special feelings attached to it or anything.Now, he felt like the country was connected directly to his life. Whenever someone mentioned Lesia, he could feel his heart ache.Ned hated having such a weakness. Once he had a weakness, it was easy for others to use it against him. Yet, now it seemed that this was unavoidable.Just now when Ned went upstairs, he heard Oliver's relatives talking about Fiona and Jeremy's wedding. Everyone knew Fiona had introduced Jeremy to Cassandra back then. They speculated that perhaps Cassandra's requirements had been too high and Jeremy hadn't caught her eyes, so they broke up. That was why Fiona and Jeremy could marry.The Myer family strongly opposed this marriage. It was Fiona's second marriage, and she already had a child, after all. However, J

Ned, on the other hand, stood next to Oliver, sipping his brandy and acting as if he wasn't listening to what Oliver was saying."Cassandra, my dear cousin, have I loved you in vain for all these years? You didn't even tell me you went abroad to study. Plus, you didn't even contact me the entire time you were there! What's the meaning of this?" Oliver said.Cassandra held Hector's hand and said, "Oliver, I've been very busy abroad. I'm a professor under Professor Peter. Don't you know how busy I get? Besides, I thought Fiona told you everything about me."Ned laughed mockingly into his wine. What a straight-faced liar! Cassandra hadn't wanted to contact Oliver because she was afraid he would tell Ned about it, so she pushed the blame onto Fiona and boldly lied to Oliver's face.Wasn’t she ashamed of herself?However, Ned had a tacit understanding with Cassandra, so he said nothing."Also, I didn't know I became an uncle! Whose kid is this?" Oliver asked as he petted Hector's head

Cassandra estimated that there was about fifty thousand dollars in the envelope, which might not even be considered pocket change to Ned. However, Cassandra had taught Hector to be frugal since he was young, so she knelt and said, "Hector, I'll help you save this money, okay? I'll give it to you in the future, okay? When you need money, just tell Mommy, okay?"Cassandra knew that Hector was a young child and had no need for money. She was only trying to convey the message to Hector that as his mother, she wouldn't refuse to give him money, but she would also not give him money indiscriminately."Cassandra, you have assets worth tens of billions of dollars. Ignoring your current life, or even the next few lives, you couldn't spend it finished. Do you need to go that far?""You don't understand," Cassandra said. “If you don't teach them at an early age, it'll be too late when they grow up."Ned extinguished his cigarette. Why did it feel like Cassandra was insinuating something in

Hector sat up straight, then clung to Ned’s arm and said, “Uncle Ned, I want Mommy! I want Mommy…”Ned pulled him into his arms and wiped his tears. “She’ll be back before you know it. Why don’t we do something else for now?”“Like what?” Hector sniffled and rested his head on Ned’s shoulder.“Oliver, don’t you have a mini basketball hoop somewhere? Bring it here so Hector can play with it,” Ned commanded with a frown.Oliver had no choice but to stop eating again. “Whoever would dare disobey your command, President Lawrence?”And so, he went to the backyard and brought in a mini basketball hoop that was about three feet tall. It came with a mini basketball, too. He put them in the living room, which was spacious enough that the hoop didn’t take up much space.Hector beamed when he saw the basketball hoop. He grabbed the basketball and giggled.Oliver and Ned were only in Lesia for the wedding, so they had no other plans. They sat on the couch and watched Hector shoot hoops happ

"Is she reliable?" Cassandra asked suspiciously. "With all three of us gone, Mom will be alone with her. She could rob us of everything if she wanted to."Catherine was also concerned about whether Martha could be trusted."She's someone I know—definitely reliable." Ned sat down and crossed his legs at the knee."You have people in Lesia?" Cassandra looked surprised."Is there anything wrong with that? I know people all over the world, even Emmeria." He looked her in the eye.He seemed to gaze right into her soul; she quickly averted her eyes.Though it had only been a glance, Cassandra sensed something different in how he looked at her. In the past, his gaze was always predatory and amused. Now, however, there seemed to be some understanding…and heartache.Yes, heartache!Her eyes had to be playing tricks on her. How could Ned's heart possibly ache for her?Women meant nothing to him. How could he possibly feel for someone?"Is she reliable?" she repeated."Yes, very.""I'
