After a long pause, Keaton looked at Gael and said faintly, "Of course, Ella is my sister-in-law’s daughter. What, do you need to see a birth certificate?"Gael laughed, "The woman's name is Denise Wagner, right? What was she to you before she became your sister-in-law?""Just a college classmate," Keaton replied. He wasn't willing to engage with Gael, who he considered a lost cause. He opened the backseat door again and gestured for Yanni to get in. No matter how many doubts she might still have, Yanni wouldn’t voice them in front of Gael. She bent down and got into the car without a second thought."Yanni," Gael shouted angrily, "If you choose him today, you’ll regret it in the future."Yanni sat inside the dim car, and her face was unusually gentle. She tilted her head and looked at her former lover. She said softly, "Gael. Even if I don’t end up with Keaton, I won’t rekindle things with you. We’re over."Gael's face turned ashen.Keaton's expression wasn’t much better. Afte

The snow fell soundlessly.On the cold winter night, Yanni sat quietly in the car, blinking softly. Her mind was blank, and there was no room for thoughts. She could only watch outside and looked at the woman named Denise.Yanni's instincts told her that Denise’s relationship with Keaton was far from simple. His expression was filled with pain and confusion. It made that clear. If Yanni hadn’t fallen for Keaton, she would have left by now. Her life had no space for risk or heartache. However, she had fallen for him. She couldn’t bring herself to leave, not when happiness seemed so close and within her grasp.The difference in temperature between inside and outside fogged the car windows, casting Denise's silhouette in a hazy blur. Soon, she approached the car. Her movements were so familiar and natural. She opened the door with ease and called out softly, "Keaton."The rush of cold air filled the car, and it was sharp enough to stir Ella awake. She blinked her large eyes groggily

Denise's voice came softly from behind, “I want to be your wife.” Her voice was incredibly gentle, but it sounded like a wraith to Keaton’s ears. Keaton didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he opened the window. The snow and wind rushed in. It chilled Denise to the bones and made her shiver all over.Denise felt a surge of anger. “Keaton.”Keaton stood tall and unaffected as if the icy air had no effect on him at all. He spoke softly, “I just want you to calm down.” His words dripped with disdain.Denise couldn't tolerate such contempt. She stood up abruptly. “Why not? Ella is my daughter, whom I carried and gave birth to with great difficulty. On top of that, you love her so much. If we were to unite, Callan would surely be happy and comforted.”Keaton turned to look at Denise. His voice was extremely sharp and cold. “You insult Callan by merely bringing him up! He was outstanding, and there were so many excellent women who wanted to be with him. "However, Callan was blind an

Yanni sat quietly on the sofa in the main bedroom on the second floor, gazing out at the night. There were no stars or moon, only a thick darkness. Yanni looked for a long time until her starry eyes became slightly moist. Keaton came in from the kitchen, bringing her a cup of warm milk. His voice carried a hint of tenderness."Drinking something warm will help a bit." Yanni raised her eyes and looked at Keaton. Instead of taking the milk, she directly asked, "Did you sleep with Denise?" This was her bottom line. Keaton held the cup of milk with his long and attractive fingers. He quietly gazed at Yanni. After a moment, he softly replied, "No, I didn't do anything with her."Then, the cup of milk was placed on the coffee table. Keaton knew Yanni wasn't in the mood to drink. So, he sat on the sofa opposite her. Keaton's expression was calm as he began to recount those past events. It was quite unpleasant, One could even say he was putting his own pain under a microscope.

Keaton’s expression remained unchanged. At this moment, what was going on in his mind? On the surface, Keaton appeared to be a gentle and warm man. He was always approachable and kind in dealing with people. However, how could he have achieved so much in his career if that were all there was to him? His ruthlessness was like a lurking specter in the darkness.Yanni's arrangements were good, but Keaton didn’t intend to let Denise off the hook. Back then, he didn’t hold Denise accountable. Now that Denise had returned, she posed a threat to both Yanni and Ella. Whether it was for new grievances or old affections, Keaton was determined not to spare her this time.Keaton looked at Denise and didn't give a direct answer. He simply said, “No matter whose child Ella is, it has nothing to do with you! It's because she belongs to someone else. You don’t even have the right to sue, let alone the qualification to conduct a DNA test with her.”Keaton's parents, Gustavo Bright and Susan Wilk
