Chapter 211: Celebrating a New Beginning

Darius answered the call while still standing beside the babies' cribs."What is it, Uncle?"Peter's voice was full of excitement."You need to see the report that just came in.""What report?""The final quarterly report."Darius walked into the small study at home."Is something wrong?""Quite the opposite."Peter chuckled softly."Harrington Group has just posted its best results in the past five years."Darius fell silent.Peter continued,"And Blackwood Group..."He deliberately paused for a few seconds."...has just recorded the highest profit in the company's history."A faint smile appeared on Darius's face."That's good news.""You sound far too calm.""I'm watching my children sleep."Peter laughed."Fair enough. But we need to discuss this tomorrow.""I'll be there."The call ended.When Darius stepped out of the study, Aurora was already waiting for him."Good news?"He nodded."Both companies have achieved their best results."Aurora smiled."I'm not surprised.""Why?""B

Chapter 212: A Night Filled with Gratitude

The long-awaited evening had finally arrived.The Harrington Group's main hall had been transformed into a warm and welcoming venue.White flowers and leafy arrangements decorated every corner of the room.On the large screen, photographs alternated between the journey of Harrington Group, Blackwood Group, and several portraits of Darius and Aurora's little family.Employees arrived with their families.The hall was filled with laughter and cheerful conversations.It didn't feel like a corporate event.It felt more like a gathering of one big family.Aurora entered the hall beside Darius.She wore a flowing light-blue gown.Darius remained in his simple black suit.Hazel walked ahead of them, hand in hand with Peter.The blue dress she had chosen a few days earlier made her look even brighter.Meanwhile, Aiden and Aria rested in a twin stroller pushed by their nanny.The moment the Harrington family entered, applause filled the hall.Aurora instinctively stopped walking.She had never

Chapter 213: A Shadow That Couldn't Be Real

Aurora continued holding Hazel tightly.The little girl's sobs gradually subsided, but her small body was still trembling.Darius crouched in front of his daughter."Hazel."She looked up at him."Tell us slowly."Hazel wiped her eyes."I saw Uncle Dante standing near the door. He was wearing black. He looked at me... and smiled."Aurora and Darius exchanged glances.Peter remained silent.Hazel continued,"I thought Uncle wanted to join the party, so I called him.""'Uncle... Uncle...'""But he just kept walking. I was afraid he'd gotten lost, so I ran after him."She lowered her head."And then... Uncle disappeared."Aurora gently stroked her daughter's hair."You followed him all the way to the hallway?"Hazel nodded."Yes. I kept looking for him, but he wasn't there. Then I couldn't find my way back."Tears rolled down Hazel's cheeks again."I was scared."Aurora pulled her into another hug."It's all right. Mommy's here now."Darius gently rubbed Hazel's back."It's okay."Peter

Chapter 214: Uncle's Resting Place

The next morning, the house settled back into its familiar routine.Aiden had just finished feeding.Aria was asleep in Aurora's arms.Darius was helping Hazel prepare breakfast.Everything felt peaceful.But Hazel was much quieter than usual.Several times, she stared out the window.As though she were deep in thought.Aurora noticed."Hazel.""Yes, Mommy?""You've been daydreaming. What are you thinking about?"Hazel lowered her gaze to the bowl of cereal in front of her.Then she looked up."Yesterday, Grandpa said Uncle Dante had passed away."Peter, who had just walked into the dining room, stopped in his tracks.Aurora nodded gently."That's right."Hazel asked another question."If someone has died..."She paused for a moment."...where do they live?"The room fell silent.Darius and Aurora exchanged glances.It was such a simple question.Yet it wasn't easy to answer.Aurora pulled her chair closer to Hazel."Mommy believes that people who have passed away are in God's care."

Chapter 215: Life Goes On

The drive home was much quieter.Hazel hugged her bunny plush while gazing out the car window.From time to time, she gently touched the few white flowers she had left.Aurora sat beside her.She held her daughter's small hand without saying a word.Darius drove in silence.After saying goodbye at the cemetery, Peter had headed back to his own house.Before leaving, he had offered only a few simple words."Take good care of your little family."Darius nodded."I always will."The moment the car pulled into the driveway, Aria's cries could be heard from inside the house.Hazel immediately ran toward the front door."I'm home!"The nanny opened the door with a smile."It's as if your little brother and sister knew their big sister was coming home."Hazel hurried to the nursery."Hi, Aria."The baby girl's cries gradually subsided as Hazel began talking to her.Beside them, Aiden opened his eyes.His tiny hand moved ever so slightly.Hazel beamed."Mommy."Aurora walked over."Look. Aide

Chapter 216: The Decision Yet to Be Spoken

Aurora reread the message from her secretary before placing her phone on the table.The room fell silent once again.Darius was still looking at the screen."Tomorrow?" he asked.Aurora nodded slowly."They've asked me to meet with them tomorrow afternoon.""Do you want to go?"Aurora didn't answer right away.She turned toward the nursery.Aiden and Aria were still asleep.Hazel had already gone to her room."I want to see the company with my own eyes."Darius nodded."I'll go with you."Aurora gave him a faint smile."I was hoping you would."The next morning, the house was busy once again.The nanny stayed behind to care for Aiden and Aria.Hazel had already left for school.Aurora wore a white tailored suit with a navy blue blazer.It had been a long time since she had dressed for work.Darius stood behind her."You're nervous."Aurora looked at her reflection in the mirror."A little."He straightened the collar of her blazer."If you get tired, we'll come home."Aurora nodded."

Chapter 217: The Distance That Couldn't Be Seen

Morning arrived as it always did.Aria's cries came first.Moments later, Aiden stirred in his crib.Aurora woke before the alarm could sound.She immediately lifted Aria into her arms.A few minutes later, Darius walked in carrying a bottle he had already prepared."For Aiden."Aurora nodded."Thank you."The conversation ended there.There was no argument.No raised voices.Yet Darius could feel a subtle change that had never existed before.Aurora no longer sought his gaze.She no longer shared the little things with him the way she used to.Hazel walked in carrying her sketchbook."Good morning.""Good morning."The little girl looked from her father to her mother."Why is Mommy so quiet?"Aurora offered a faint smile."Mommy's still sleepy."Hazel accepted the answer without question."Then I'll do all the talking today."A small smile appeared on Darius's face."All right."Throughout breakfast, Hazel dominated the conversation.She talked about school.About the drawing she had

Chapter 218: An Answer That Left a Wound

Darius looked at Aurora without breaking eye contact.Her question lingered between them for a long moment.He drew a slow breath."I would refuse."Aurora didn't respond immediately.Darius continued,"Because from the very beginning, I never came to take your place."Aurora held his gaze."And if they insisted?""I would still refuse.""What if they said the company would be better off in your hands?"Darius shook his head."Blackwood isn't mine. It belongs to you. It belongs to your family."Aurora remained where she stood."I want to believe all of that.""You don't have to force yourself."A faint smile appeared on Aurora's lips."The problem is... I'm not doubting your words."Darius frowned."Then what is it?""I'm starting to doubt the circumstances."Her answer left Darius speechless.Aurora looked at the vase she had just filled with flowers."Even the directors are beginning to talk as though I'm no longer needed.""They're wrong.""Maybe."She gave a slow nod."Or maybe th

Chapter 219: Voices from the Boardroom

Aurora left early the next morning.Darius walked her to the car."If anything happens, call me."Aurora nodded."I just want to hear their explanation."Darius didn't try to accompany her.Instead, he opened the car door for his wife."I'll be waiting for you."Aurora got into the car without saying anything else.Moments later, the vehicle pulled away from the house.Darius remained standing there until the car disappeared from sight.When Aurora arrived at Blackwood Group, her secretary greeted her immediately."Good morning, Mrs. Aurora.""Good morning.""I've contacted all the directors as you requested."Aurora nodded."Is everyone here?""Almost everyone.""Almost?""Director Richard is on his way."Aurora recognized the name.Richard had been the first person to propose appointing Darius as Blackwood's permanent CEO."Then I'll wait."A few minutes later, all the directors began filing into the conference room.They looked slightly surprised.Today, Aurora had come alone.Dari

Chapter 220: The Letter That Was Never Opened

Darius fell silent for a few moments.He looked at Hazel, who was still busy stacking colorful blocks on the carpet."Daddy, build the tallest tower," Hazel said cheerfully.Darius smiled faintly."In a minute."Then he turned his attention back to the phone call."So... you've received the envelope?""Yes.""Have you read it yet?""Not yet.""Why not?"Aurora looked down at the brown envelope resting on her lap."I want to hear your explanation first."Darius took a slow breath."Then come home.""Is that all?""I want to explain it while looking into your eyes."Aurora didn't answer.A few seconds later, the call ended.Throughout the drive home, Aurora glanced at the envelope over and over again.Darius's handwriting was exactly as she remembered it.Neat.Firm.Never rushed.Several times, she almost broke the seal.But every time her fingers brushed the edge of the envelope, she stopped herself.She wanted to hear everything directly from Darius.Not from a single sheet of paper.
