Turning to Alison, Jasper said, "It's rare for His Highness to visit Hyperia. If you have nothing better to do, just show him around the city."Alison shrugged. "Sure, just leave it to me. Can't make you be a guide on a wheelchair, can I?"Everyone laughed, with Willian saying, "Your sister is quite the comedian."Jasper smiled. "She's always that direct. Please be understanding if she messes up.""Don't worry, Willian's not that petty." Renee smiled. "And Alison is always so sincere and warm. That said, you guys should bring Ivan along just in case."Ivan was one of Avid's personal bodyguards, and his skill was above question.Now that Renee didn't need much security, she could have Ivan watch over Willian and Alison."Sure." Willian nodded. "You both get some rest. I'm leaving now."Alison stood up too, waving goodbye to Renee and saying, "We're going back to the hotel for now. We will drop by again after going sightseeing tomorrow."It was late, so she definitely didn't wan

Jasper couldn't help chuckling. "Are you really that old, getting so philosophical? Get yourself a woman already, or you'd develop personality issues staying single for too long."Conrad glared at him on the other end. "Nice. You've got the girl and a son on top of that, so you gotta rub it in my face? If it wasn't…"Conrad paused abruptly, stopping himself.He was there to see Jasper's slump, and how he almost broke.And as a close friend, Conrad couldn't really rub salt into the wound as he knew how difficult it was back then.Still, Jasper's smile faded a little as he said, "It's thanks to you that I've managed to survive the worst. That's why you're sitting on the main table during my wedding.""Nah, I'd just rather invest in Ario's stock. Make me godfather already."Both men laughed, and then a brief silence ensued.Then, Conrad reported, "Just got a call from one of the boys. Mark Whitley's sick."Hearing that name, Jasper turned toward Renee before he knew it.She didn

Understanding what Will was getting at, Renee said, "You're saying that if I choose to remain in Ambrossia, and Jasper decides to move there with me, Everest Group will have problems without his leadership? Most importantly, you're concerned that he'll be appointed as consort?"Will nodded. "The family can't survive without Jasper. My wife is babysitting Ario now, and they've been getting along quite well. She's always wanted a grandson, so she's beside herself with joy now that he's really won."Naturally, she won't have objections to you getting together with Jasper, but I'd still ask that you think about it."Still, Renee didn't answer directly. "I think it'll be better if you discuss this directly with Jasper. If you've seen how bad it was for him when I was gone, then you should know how important I am to him. This isn't a threat, but I'm simply telling you that there are things money can't buy."Your family has already gained considerable wealth. And being Jasper's father, do

Ivan was scratching his head as he handed Alison a cup. "For you, Ms. Zeller. Tea with less sugar."Alison took it, raising a brow as he saw Ivan flushed. "Do you… like me?"Ivan was taken aback, staring at her in disbelief. "I… No, I don't. Enjoy your drink. I'm going now since I have other things to do."Alison watched from behind as he fled, and then looked at her tea, unable to resist a smile.In the elevator, Renee was pretending to be busy with her phone, and she looked up to see Ivan running inside.Ivan's smile promptly faded as he greeted her solemnly. "Ma'am."Renee pocketed her phone and studied Ivan, immediately noticing him blushing up to his ears.There was just no hiding the raw emotions of love."Oh. When did you get here?" Renee asked, feigning ignorance."I came with Prince Willian and Ms. Zeller," Ivan replied."Oh. And thanks, since you've been guarding them these past couple of days. I'll make sure to get you a raise when we get home.""Thank you, ma'am.

"Hehe!" Ario giggled happily as he pecked Renee's cheek, waving his little hands. "I… miss Mommy…"Anyone listening to that boy's chirping would feel their heart melting.How could a child be so adorable?! He was just so lovable!"I love you too, baby. I missed you so much." Renee smiled.Alison smiled, leaning in and pinching his little cheek adorably, "Oh, kids really are the best. Such smooth skin and that little hand that smells like fresh milk."Leaning in to give Ario a peck on the cheek, she asked, "Do you love me too, Ario?"Ario turned to look at her.Even though they had only met me a few times, he loved her too and smiled. "Yes, love you, Wanty…"Aunty wasn't the easiest word to pronounce for kids after all, and it got everyone laughing heartily.The usually cool house seemed to gain some warmth and it felt a little home—with comfort, happiness, and family.Jasper then told Renee, "You've been working hard at the hospital for days. My mom can take care of Ario—you
