As soon as Jennifer’s parents went to their room, Samuel immediately grabbed Jennifer’s hand rather firmly, pulling her away from the main door. His steps were quick, his face tense and filled with restrained emotion.“What was that you just did?!” Samuel’s voice rose, though he tried to keep it low enough not to draw attention.Jennifer looked down, holding the hem of her dirty wedding gown. “I… I’m sorry.”“Sorry?” Samuel repeated in disbelief. “You kissed me in front of your parents and said I’m your fiancé, and now all you say is ‘sorry’?!”Jennifer bit her lower lip, clearly at a loss for words. “I didn’t have any other choice, Samuel. My father wouldn’t stop forcing me to marry unless I showed him someone by my side.”Samuel let out an annoyed sigh, rubbing his face with both hands. “So what am I then? A tool to cover up your lie?”“It’s not like that…” Jennifer’s voice softened. “I just needed time. If I said I already had a fiancé, they would stop pressuring me. I didn’t mean

At the Wilson Group office, Samuel walked into his room with a serious face. His black suit looked neat, his hair slicked back perfectly, but the look in his eyes clearly showed that he wasn’t completely calm.“Mr. Samuel, the meeting with the finance team is scheduled for ten o’clock,” said Bani, his personal assistant, handing over several documents.Samuel nodded without saying much. “Alright. Make sure all the reports for this month are complete. I don’t want any more mistakes.”“Yes, Sir,” Bani replied quickly.Samuel sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, and began reviewing the reports one by one. He tried to focus on the numbers and data, pushing away the image of Jennifer’s face that kept appearing in his mind.“I have to stop thinking about her,” he muttered softly, pressing his temple.He stared at the large window in front of his desk. The view of tall city buildings did nothing to calm his thoughts. Still, working was the only way he knew to distract himself from things

The night grew late. Reno was already asleep in his room, the blanket neatly covering his small body. Rebecca made sure he was comfortable before closing the door quietly. She walked to the living room, where Samuel was still sitting on the sofa, looking tired but showing no sign of wanting to sleep.“Still not sleepy?” Rebecca asked as she approached.Samuel turned to her and smiled faintly. “Not yet, my love.”Rebecca sat down at the edge of the sofa. “You’ve been working since morning, and you’re still not sleepy?”Samuel sighed, then shifted his position, lying down and resting his head on Rebecca’s lap. He looked up at the ceiling, then closed his eyes for a moment.“This feels so comfortable,” he said softly. “If only I could rest like this every night.”Rebecca smiled faintly, her hand gently brushing through Samuel’s hair. Her touch was soft — full of the warmth they had both longed for.“Yes, because you used to do this too,” she murmured. “Every time you came home from work,

Morning had arrived. The air felt cool and damp.Rebecca woke up early, preparing a simple breakfast for herself, Samuel, and Reno. Samuel sat at the dining table, helping Reno put on his socks.“Reno, don’t forget to always study diligently, okay? And remember, don’t be naughty. Don’t show your abilities—no one should know that you’re a genius,” said Rebecca while pouring milk into a small glass.Reno looked at her with his innocent eyes. “I’m not naughty, Mommy. I’m a good boy.”Samuel smiled faintly. “A good boy, but when he plays games, he forgets everything. And listen to what Mommy said—no one should know that Reno Barra Castillo is a genius.”Reno immediately pouted. “Okay, Mommy, Daddy, don’t worry. Reno will keep it a secret.”Rebecca chuckled softly at his expression. “Alright then, let’s eat first. After that, you two can go.”Samuel glanced at his watch. “I have to be at the office by nine. There’s an important meeting.”Rebecca nodded while placing a plate on the table. “

Chapter 279The sound of soft music continued to echo through the ballroom of the Crawley family’s hotel. Guests laughed, chatted, and enjoyed the luxurious atmosphere of the evening. A ring was already wrapped around Rebecca’s finger—or more precisely, Ellya’s, in everyone’s eyes. Only Rebecca wasn’t enjoying the party.She stood beside Aric, trying to smile at the guests who came one after another to offer congratulations. The crystal lights made her eyes slightly dazed, but the discomfort she felt was far worse.“Darling,” Aric called, leaning slightly toward Rebecca. “What’s wrong?”Rebecca shook her head quickly. “Nothing… I’m just a bit dizzy.”Aric nodded. “Then after this, you should rest.”Before Rebecca could answer, a group of Aric’s friends approached with cheerful faces.“Ah, here’s our soon-to-be newlyweds!” exclaimed one tall man in a gray suit.“Aric, you’re really lucky,” added another. “Ellya looks stunning tonight.”Rebecca only gave a small smile. She tried to rema
