When she called, Barney didn't pick up. Angela assumed he had already gone to bed.The butler replied promptly, "Miss Thompson, Mr. Lemont is still in the study, seeing a guest.""A guest? This late? Who could it be?" Angela asked as she headed back to her room to change.The butler held her things and answered, "A private investigator."Angela's eyes darkened. "About his sister?"The butler nodded.She casually asked about any progress, but the butler admitted he didn't know. Barney had been searching for his sister for many years, though recently the frequency of contacts had clearly increased—there seemed to be a lead.Since returning to Jayelle City, Angela had thrown herself into her work, determined to prove her capabilities again. But the damage Khloe and Trey had caused her was unforgettable.Still, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Once her wings were fully grown, when she returned to Goldmont City, she would take back everything Khloe had stolen—and then some.

Barney couldn't suppress the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Moved, he drew Angela into his arms, holding her close.Angela's voice was soft but warm. "Congratulations. Soon, your family will be whole again."Barney let out a quiet sigh. "It will also fulfill my mother's last wish… to give her peace in the afterlife."He recalled being eight years old, when his parents' marriage was falling apart. His mother had left for a long time during the divorce dispute. Later, his father had been surrounded by several other women. Once, his mother came home drunk and argued with his father. Barney had overheard it all.She admitted she had been with other men and had even had a child with one of them. Enraged, his father had fought her, and from that point, they lived apart. Although his mother never formally divorced his father, she never forgave him until her death.As a child, Barney had thought all of his mother's actions were merely to spite his father. It wasn't until aft

Angela watched Barney, lost in thought.When she finally came back to herself, she realized he had already placed her safely on the edge of the bed. Barney bent down, pressing two gentle kisses to her forehead, smiling at her with that familiar warmth. Then, as if remembering something, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few tickets."The country's hottest theme park just opened. I managed to snag priority experience tickets for Pete. You can take a day off anytime and bring him along with his grandparents."He placed the tickets on the bedside table. The soft amber light fell across his arm, catching Angela's gaze. She froze for a moment, startled.Though Barney had often said he wanted to build a real life with her and treat Pete as his own child once they were together, Angela had never truly believed it. To focus on getting closer to Barney, she hadn't visited Pete in weeks.Seeing Barney take the initiative to think of her son made her chest tighten, almost to the

Noah's voice cut sharply through the air as he demanded, in broken Naraidan, to know the old man's identity and the whereabouts of his companions.The elderly man jumped in fright, staring at him with a mix of shock and fear. After a long moment, he finally managed to explain that he was the one who had saved him.Noah struggled to communicate, haltingly piecing together questions and clarifications, until finally the old man raised his hands and led him back into the wooden hut. He retrieved the clothes he had hung out to dry, handed them to Noah, and then used gestures to recount the events of the previous night.Noah had carried an exhausted Nick for an unknown distance. His body had been pushed past its limits; fatigue and sleep deprivation eventually caused him to collapse. The old man, a forest ranger, had spotted him while patrolling in his vehicle. But when he reached Noah, he saw no one else with him.According to the old man, as he left the area that night, he had notic

Ralph frowned as he watched Khloe, a heavy weight pressing against his chest. He wanted to say something, anything, to comfort her—but his lips twitched helplessly, and no words came.Arista quickly embraced her. "Khloe, don't let yourself despair. Even if Nick couldn't walk all the way with you, he was truly happy with you. I could see it. He protected you and the child—he wouldn't regret it."George was not one for consolation, yet for the first time, he couldn't bear to see a woman cry—except for Arista. He stood, shot a glance at Ralph, and quietly stepped out of the room.Arista stayed with Khloe, gently comforting her, but Khloe said nothing. She lay against Arista's chest, eyes closed, letting the tears fall in silence. The grief was unbearable, yet she remained acutely aware: she had to restrain herself.After a long while, Khloe slowly rose from Arista's arms."Ralph," she said, "Nick wouldn't have abandoned his promise. If his identity hasn't been confirmed, he may still
