Chapter 121: This Time.

Early the next morning, Roman didn't even let Evelyn tell Lena they were leaving.Everything happened too fast.They boarded the Aurelion jet before the sun was fully up and touched down in Trevinia before noon. James was already waiting at the private terminal, the car warm and ready.On the drive home, Roman's mind drifted.He couldn't stop replaying the doctor's words. Over and over again.He glanced at Evelyn. She was curled against the window, her breathing slow. Her head tilted awkwardly."Sleep," he said quietly, guiding her head onto his thigh.Evelyn didn't argue. Her eyes stayed closed, and within seconds, her breathing evened out.—When Evelyn woke up, she was already home.Her clothes had been changed.The afternoon light filtered through the curtains.She blinked slowly and sat up.Evelyn stretched and looked around."Roman?"No answer.She frowned. ‘He doesn’t go to work anymore… where could he have gone?’She was about to get up when her gaze fell on her finger.A br

Chapter 122: Handle With Care.

Evelyn swallowed hard."You know… I saw my period last month, and…"Roman suddenly let out a low chuckle."You got pregnant this month."Evelyn’s mouth opened, and closed, then opened again.Words refused to come out."We…" Her fingers trembled. "I'm going to be a mom…?" Her voice broke on the last word, cracking under the weight of excitement she couldn't contain.Roman's eyes softened. A faint light flickered in them.“We,” he corrected calmly, “are going to be parents.”Evelyn’s breath hitched.“But I don’t even know how to cook properly without Mrs. Chen.”She looked flustered and lost.Roman flicked her forehead lightly.“Ouch!” she mumbled, rubbing it.“When have you ever handled cooking?” he said, a hint of amusement in his tone.Evelyn pouted her lips.Roman’s expression softened again.“Lyn.”He called her gently.“I need you to be careful from now on.”He paused.“Promise me.”Evelyn searched his eyes.Ever since that night… the thought of having his child had stayed somew

Chapter 123: A Dangerous Favor.

A beam of headlights cut through the front windshield, illuminating Theon's profile.For a moment, Lena forgot to breathe.The sharp line of his jaw. The way his lips curved without him trying, and the light catching the edge of his cheekbone."Hmm?"He pressed the accelerator.She turned away, fast. And stared out the window.“Uh… no.”Theon glanced at her profile, then back at the road. He rolled the window down."Hold tight." He paused. "If you don't want to fasten your seatbelt."She smiled despite herself. "How fast can this thing go?"Theon didn’t answer.Instead, he pressed harder on the accelerator.The car shot forward like it had been released from a slingshot—wind roaring, the world blurring at the edges. Lena leaned her head out the window, hair whipping across her face, and for a moment, she forgot everything.Theon's lip curled up.—The drive was cool and silent.Lena didn't even notice they'd arrived until the car stopped."What are we doing here?" She blinked at

Chapter 124: No Way Out.

"I flew in an hour ago. I wanted to surprise you." Rhys paused."Imagine my surprise when I walked into an empty house with the front door wide open."Lena swallowed. "I was in a hurry.""Clearly."Silence stretched between them."Where are you, Lena?"She looked around at the empty street, the closed shops, and the distant sound of traffic."I don't know." She had been walking without direction for so long, she lost track of where she was."Somewhere. I'll find a cab.""I'll come get you.""You don't even know where I am.""Send me your location."But her body felt drained. The cold had started to creep in. And the street was empty."I'll send it," she said.She ended the call and pulled up her map.Behind her, headlights swept across the road.She didn't turn around.—Lena stood at the roadside for several minutes, the cold seeping through her sneakers. A car glided past, slowed, then reversed.The window rolled down."Get in."Rhys's voice sounded calmly from inside.She got i

Chapter 125: Losing Control.

Lena sat opposite Theon, her back pressed into the seat.She drew in a deep breath and shut her eyes as the plane lifted off the ground.Her fingers clenched.Theon watched her, a faint smirk on his lips.A few minutes passed. She felt the angle level out.The weight in her chest eased.The steady hum of the aircraft settled around them.Lena slowly opened her eyes.She looked around, then let out a breath.A soft chuckle came from across her.She turned, frowning.“What was that for?”Theon leaned back, head tilted, his light blond hair catching the cabin light.“For someone with such a sharp mouth…” his lips curved, “I didn’t expect you to be scared of takeoff.”“Tch.”Lena scoffed and looked away.Her heart hadn't stopped pounding since she agreed to this. Her fingers trembled against her lap.A thought crept in.‘What if Rhys finds out?’She pressed her lips together.‘Should I tell him?’‘What would he think?’Her teeth sank into the inside of her cheek.Her nails scratched ligh

Chapter 126: Crossing the Line.

Chapter 126: Crossing the Line. "What do you mean by that?" Theon didn't answer. He just kept walking, his hands in his pockets, his pace unhurried. Lena grabbed his sleeve. "Hey. I asked you a question." He glanced down at her fingers curled around his sleeve, then lifted his gaze to her face. "It means exactly what I said." He pulled his arm free gently. "Don't overthink it." Before she could argue, the front door opened. A butler in a crisp dark suit bowed slightly. "Young master. Welcome home." Theon nodded and stepped inside. Lena hesitated, then followed. The foyer was enormous. Marble floors stretched out beneath her feet, a crystal chandelier hanging above. Fresh flowers sat on a long console table, filling the space with a soft scent. She suddenly felt very aware of her baggy hoodie and sneakers. "Your parents are in the drawing room," the butler said. Theon didn't slow down. Lena hurried after him. — The drawing room was warm, filled with soft light

Chapter 127: Not Yours to Take.

Theon went very still.His gaze locked on the tears gathering in her eyes. His hand was still on her waist. He didn't let go. He couldn't. He knew—if he did, she would walk out.And something in him refused to allow that."Lena.""Don't." She shook her head. "Don't say my name like that."She tried to pull away. His grip held her firm."Let me go.""No."Her eyes flashed. "I said let me go."She shoved him back. Hard."Do not touch me again."Her chest rose and fell sharply. Her lips trembled—still stinging from where he'd bitten her."You said this was a favor." Her voice shook. "You didn't say I had to sell myself for it.""Lena—""I don't want to hear anything from you." Her fists tightened. "You don't get to touch me or kiss me without my permission."She took a deep breath."Stay away from me."She turned to walk away."...I'm sorry."The words came out low. Lena paused. She turned back. He was staring at her, his eyes narrowed, and unreadable."I'm not sorry I kissed you

Chapter 128: The Spark and the Fire.

Dinner felt endless.Jessica chatted on, unaware of the tension sitting between the two of them. Her voice carried warmth, easy and bright, filling the room.Lena nodded when needed, smiled when expected, and answered when spoken to.But her mind stayed elsewhere.The lack of guest room.Every now and then, she felt Theon's gaze on her.She turned once.Theon was already looking at her. His gaze unreadable.Her heart skipped.She looked away at once.—By the time dinner ended, Lena felt mentally drained.Theon led her back without a word.They walked the long hallway again.This time, she kept her eyes forward.He pushed the door open and stepped aside.“After you.”She hesitated. Then walked in.Her eyes went straight to the bed.Only one.Her throat tightened.“I’ll take the couch.”She turned.Theon was already pulling out a folded blanket from the closet.“For the record,” he added, not looking at her, “I didn’t know about the guest room arrangement.”She frowned.“You didn’t?”“

Chapter 129: Like We Meant It.

Caspian pushed himself off the workbench and walked toward the door."The coffee is just caffeine," he said over his shoulder. "The advice is the real gift."The door closed behind him.Theon sat in the silence, his father's words echoing in his ears."You don't have to live by morals all the time.""If another person is hesitating… beat them to it."He looked at the clock.Five-thirty in the morning.His jaw tightened.‘Is that really the problem?’‘What do I actually feel for her?’The thought sat heavy in his chest.He exhaled and stood, heading back to his room.His hand paused on the door. Then he pushed it open.A lump was under the blanket. Covered from head to toe.His brows drew together.‘Is she trying to suffocate herself?’He walked over and pulled the blanket down.Lena scrunched her face. “What are you doing?”Theon didn’t answer. He just looked at her.Her hair was messy, her eyes half-open, lips slightly parted from sleep.“What’s wrong with you?” she muttered, grabbin

Chapter 130: I Wasn’t Enough

Lena's heart slammed hard against her ribs. Theon didn't move. He didn’t look away either. He just stood there, his gaze locked on her face as if he was waiting for something—waiting for her to react, or pull away. Lena's thoughts scattered. For a moment, she couldn’t breathe properly, or even think. Theon leaned in slowly. His lips brushed the corner of her mouth. Not quite a kiss. But close enough to steal her breath. Lena trembled. She felt his warm breath against her skin. "Perfect," Phillip whispered. Click. The camera captured it. — The sun was setting by the time they reached the beach. Lena sat on the sand, watching the sky shift from orange to pink, and then to gold. The waves lapped at the shore, slow and steady. Theon sat beside her. "It's been a long time," she said quietly, "since I went out like this… and felt alive." Theon turned his head to look at her. She met his gaze. Something in his eyes had changed. The usual teasing edge was
