Silence filled the car. After a moment, Fiona turned to Darwin, her eyes were slightly red. "Darwin, years have passed. We can't go back. I'm living a peaceful and happy life now, and you know how hard that's been for me to achieve... If you have even the slightest bit of sincerity towards me, please, I'm begging you, don't disrupt my tranquil life again, okay?"Darwin's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a thousand knives.Fiona speaking to him so calmly, so candidly—it threw him off balance even more than an impassioned outburst would have.It wasn't words spoken in anger.They were the sincere words of a calm heart.She... truly wanted nothing to do with him anymore.Watching Darwin's figure seemingly crumble before her, Fiona felt a storm of emotions churning within."Let me take you home. To your apartment, right?""Yes."Where else could he go, if not back to his apartment?Without her presence, those houses couldn't be his home.

Ashton nodded, "I'll block him right now."" Are you trying to keep our marriage under wraps?" Kenny asked solemnly.Ashton shook her head.She had no intention of hiding her marriage."Good," Kenny said, taking the phone from Ashton and answering the call.Chris's hoarse voice came through, "Ashton..."Before Chris could continue, Kenny responded with a cold tone, "Mr. Durham , it's very late to be calling my wife and disturbing our rest."There was a brief silence on the other end."Put Ashton on the phone!" Chris demanded, his voice low and seething with anger.Kenny chuckled coolly, " My wife wants nothing more to do with the Shaws. Don't bother calling again.""Bullshit!" Chris barked back with vehemence."And who's your wife? I'm warning you, keep your distance or else—"Kenny didn't wait for Chris to finish his threat. He hung up the call and then blocked the number.Ashton sat there, the glow that had lasted the whole eveni

Living together would mean...He could prepare breakfast for his wife too."No way!" Ashton promptly objected.Kenny felt a bit deflated, "Alright... Maybe I'm just too eager.""That's not it," Ashton quickly clarified, "If I move out now, my sister-in-law will be all alone at home..."Kenny blinked in silence.It was all for his sister-in-law..."Once she wraps up her current project, she'll go back. Then we can decide whether you come over or I move, okay?" Ashton's cheeks flushed as he spoke.Kenny couldn't help but smile.After breakfast, Kenny grabbed his travel mug from the car and took the leftover smoothie with him.Ashton was a mix of amused and proud.Seems she had some hidden talents in the kitchen after all!The sun shone brilliantly outside.Today promised to be a serene and beautiful day.Upon arriving at the office, Fiona dove into meetings.They continued until around ten when there was a brief respite.

On the surveillance screen.Darwin bent down to pick up the shattered phone.He fiddled with it for a moment.It was clear, the phone was beyond repair.He called a kid over, exchanged a few words, and the child hurried off, returning shortly with a new phone in hand.Darwin took the phone, seemingly thanked the kid, and dialed a number. Moments later, a phone in Chicago rang with an unfamiliar number.Before Janna Rhoads could speak up, Chicago eagerly answered the call, "Uncle!""How did Chicago know it was uncle?" came Darwin's gentle voice, tinged with amusement, from the other end.Chicago realized she had slipped up but quickly covered, "Only uncle would call Chicago!""Right," Darwin chuckled softly, "Uncle had a bit of an accident and broke his phone. I didn't scare you, did I?""Nope," Chicago shook her head, not mentioning her earlier fears of a kidnapping.Charles withdrew to his computer, his eyelids drooping, and whispered to

When Darwin finally had his fill, Fiona seized her chance and shoved him back. He stumbled, steadying himself and glancing at his bloodied thumb."You didn't bite it off; you still love me," Darwin declared, a wild look in his eyes.Fiona's gaze met his, a chill slithering up her spine."Darwin, I never wanted to make an enemy out of you," Fiona said, wiping her mouth with disgust. The taste of blood lingered, making her uneasy.Darwin's gaze was somber as he watched her. "You left me no choice," Fiona uttered, emphasizing each word. "From now on, it's you and me, Solomon and the Rhoads family, on opposing ends.""Fine by me!" Darwin replied instantly, without a hint of hesitation."We'll see how Janna Rhoads, coasting through the golden years of her life, copes with the chaos I'll bring!" Darwin locked eyes with Fiona. "I've told you, Fiona, nothing matters to me except for you. Anyone who stands in the way of me taking you back will have an eternal enemy in
