11. SHOULD WE GET MARRIED?

Athena was furious when she found out that the culprit was one of Merrya’s messengers—Glenn’s mother. She begged her father to report the incident to the police, but Ren explained that it wasn’t that simple."The most important thing is Noah's safety. If we report Merrya to the police, it could become very dangerous because they might accuse you of separating your child from Glenn," Ren advised.Athena was taken aback, realizing that since Noah was Glenn’s biological child, the Cardelion family could use that fact to attack her. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm herself."What should I do, Father? I’m afraid they won’t give up trying to kidnap Noah again."Ren patted his daughter’s shoulder and spoke seriously."You’re taking two days off, aren’t you? Tomorrow, I’ll handle the meeting with the Cardelion management, and I’ll ensure that the day after, when you and Sargas arrive at the company, you’ll meet him."Athena trembled, unsure if she was ready to meet Glenn again

12. LET'S GET MARRIED

"Noah, where did you learn those words from?" Athena asked."I saw my friends, they have fathers and also siblings. So if Uncle Sargas becomes my dad, I’ll have a sibling too, right?"Athena smiled, trying to offer the best understanding she could. "Sweetheart, what if... I don’t need to marry, but you can still have a sibling?""Uh, how does that work? Are you going to make a sibling from dough?" Noah asked, moving his hands as if mixing something, making Athena laugh.She didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she took a plate and put some roasted chicken and fried potatoes on it. "Eat, and after that, go study. You probably have a lot of homework, don’t you?"Noah nodded quickly, instantly forgetting the main topic because his stomach was hungry. Ren, Ruby, and Sargas arrived at the dining table, and they had dinner without discussing marriage any further.Noah’s request about marriage seemed to be forgotten as they ate in silence. They only spoke again after the meal was finished."

13. The Ring and Old Wounds

“NEXT WEEK?!” Athena was shocked when she heard the news from her mother. “Mom, isn’t this too sudden? I mean… this will take a lot of people by surprise.”Ruby placed a reassuring hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “Are you having second thoughts about your relationship with Sargas? I can talk to your father if that’s the case.”Athena shook her head. “I do want to marry Sargas, but I’m worried about how people will react. I’m afraid it might tarnish the family’s reputation, Mom.”Ruby embraced her daughter warmly. She understood Athena’s concerns—being a member of the Gilgareth family came with heavy burdens and responsibilities. But Ren and Ruby had never once seen Athena’s status as an issue.“We won’t let that happen to you, sweetheart. Anyone who dares to demean you will have to deal with us,” Ruby assured her firmly.Athena still couldn’t believe how cherished she was by the Gilgareth family. All the pain she had endured in the past seemed to fade away in their care.She no longe

14. TRACES OF UNFADING SCARS

Giselle was startled when her hand was grabbed by an unfamiliar man, though from his words, it was clear he was defending Athena.“Why are you being so rude to Athena? Who are you?” Sargas asked, pretending not to recognize the woman.There were few people who didn’t know Giselle. She had been introduced, albeit unofficially, as the heir to the Willowspot Corporation and was also widely recognized as the partner of the CEO of Cardellion.Giselle yanked her hand free from Sargas and looked at him with disdain. “Who are you, and what business is this of yours?”Sargas, who had kept his identity hidden, was not easily recognizable. “Pardon me, but you’ve been bothering my fiancée,” he replied calmly.Giselle stared at Sargas, scrutinizing him from head to toe. She could tell from his appearance and the luxury items he wore that this man wasn’t ordinary.“Oh, so this is the man you managed to seduce, Athena? How utterly pathetic!” Giselle folded her arms. “Hey, sir, do you know the kind o
