Chapter 61: Thirty Days

Ramon arrived at Morgan Plantation less than an hour later.The black car rolled through the gates before finally coming to a stop in front of the main building.He stepped out immediately.His expression remained calm, but his mind wasn't.Ramon exhaled slowly before heading inside.The employees immediately straightened when they saw him.His presence always carried pressure wherever he went.Some recognized him as the CEO of Holloway Holdings.Others recognized him as the man who had dragged their owner out of the building a few days ago. Just then, Maureen, who had just stepped out of Kelsey's office, was surprised to see him."Mr. Holloway.""Where is she?" Ramon asked right away.Maureen hesitated briefly before answering. "She's in her office."Ramon simply said, "Take me to her."The two walked through the hallway in silence.Soon, they arrived outside Kelsey's office.Maureen knocked."Come in."Kelsey's voice sounded from inside.Maureen opened the door.The moment Kelsey l

Chapter 62: Thirty Days

Kelsey stared at Ramon for a long moment. Then she let out a short laugh. Not because it was funny.She simply couldn't believe what she had just heard."You'll grant me the divorce?" She asked just to make sure she had heard correctly.Ramon nodded. "Yes."Kelsey shook her head. "You definitely took something you weren't supposed to before coming here."She slowly dropped the document in her hand onto the desk before leaning back in her chair. Ramon's face remained straight. He didn't look angry at her words. If anything, he looked unusually patient."Do you think you have the power to decide our divorce?" Kelsey asked mockingly. Then, as if reminding him of reality, she added, "The court will dissolve the marriage.""And why haven't you gone to court for it?" Ramon immediately asked.Kelsey's body stiffened. Her fingers slowly curled into fists. For a moment, she couldn't answer. Because she knew exactly why."You haven't gone to court because of Kendrick." Ramon answered the quest

Chapter 63: Thirty Days

The office remained completely silent. Neither of them spoke. Kelsey stared at Ramon while he stood opposite her desk. The more she looked at him, the stranger the situation felt. "You want Kendrick's custody, don't you?" Ramon broke the silence softly. "This would be your chance to have him without having to fight." "So Kendrick is now your bargaining chip?" Kelsey snapped at him. As tempting as the offer was, Kelsey wasn't pleased that he was using Kendrick. As far as she was concerned, Kendrick's custody wasn't something they should be fighting her for. She was his mother. "Of course not," Ramon denied immediately. "I just want him to be happy before the marriage ends." "Are you saying that you won't go back on your word after the thirty days?" Kelsey asked, narrowing her eyes. "I won't," Ramon responded firmly. That made Kelsey scoff loudly. "You expect me to believe you?" she said, hissing sharply. "Even if you won't, your family would never allow me to take

Chapter 64: The Loss and Ambitious

A full day had passed since the executive meeting, yet Wanda's mood hadn't improved. If anything, it had become worse.The memory of Ramon's cold expression continued to replay inside her mind. No matter how hard she tried to forget it, she couldn't.Wanda pushed open the door to her apartment and stepped inside.The moment she entered, the unfamiliar scent greeted her.She froze for a second, then her expression darkened as the realization hit her. She had forgotten for a moment that she no longer lived in Ivory Mansion. She now stayed in her own apartment—the one she had abandoned immediately after Ramon got married to go live with them.For some reason, the apartment felt smaller than it was before.She angrily placed her handbag on the table and walked toward the living room.Her eyes landed on the empty couch. Then the dining table. Everything looked normal, yet nothing felt right.She slowly sat down. Her shoulders felt heavy. She never thought she would return to the apartment

Chapter 65: The Final Blow

Wanda stood awkwardly near the door, not knowing what to say. Doris sat quietly on the hospital bed. Her expression was calm. And somehow, that made Wanda even more nervous. "Mom." Wanda finally spoke, fidgeting with her fingers. Doris looked at her. "Come in." Wanda slowly walked further into the room and sat down. Silence followed. The atmosphere felt heavy, mostly for Wanda. This was the first time they were seeing each other since Doris called and told her how disappointed she was in her. Wanda hated it. Doris had always had a huge smile on her face whenever she saw her. But now, Doris had no expression on her face. She expected Doris to say something first. Instead, the older woman simply watched her. The longer the silence stretched, the more uncomfortable Wanda became. Finally... "How have you been?" Doris asked. Wanda's heart skipped, realizing she should be asking Doris how she was feeling considering she had survived a near-death experience and w

Chapter 66: Back to Ivory Mansion

Ramon waited outside Kelsey's office far longer than he expected. Employees passed by occasionally and secretly glanced at him. Some were surprised, while others were curious. But Ramon ignored them all. His attention remained on the closed office door. He felt a nervousness he rarely experienced. Almost like he was waiting for the outcome of an important business negotiation. Though Kelsey had accepted, he feared she might change her mind. The thought made him shake his head. A few minutes later, the office door finally opened. Kelsey stepped out carrying her handbag. The moment she saw him still standing there, she paused. "You actually waited?" she asked, seemingly surprised. Ramon straightened. "You told me you had work to finish." Kelsey stared at him for a moment. Then she looked away and started walking without another word. Ramon followed behind her and watched her exchange a few words with Maureen. Then they exited together. The atmosphere between

Chapter 67: You Don't Know Your Place

Kendrick had not stopped talking for almost an hour.He kept pulling Kelsey from one corner of the room to another, showing her every little thing he had missed explaining before.Kelsey listened to everything.Not once did she interrupt him.She crouched when he pulled her down, smiled when he laughed, and nodded even when his stories made no real sense.It was the kind of attention the little boy had clearly been starving for.And only when his small body finally slowed down did she notice it.His eyes were getting heavy.He was still holding her hand tightly, even as his words started to slur."Mommy..." he mumbled softly while holding her hand tightly.Kelsey smiled faintly and brushed his hair back."You have to sleep now, Ken.""But you didn't see the other one..." he whispered weakly."I'll see it later," she said gently.That was enough.His eyes fluttered shut within seconds.Kelsey stayed beside him for a while, watching his chest rise and fall slowly.Only when she was sure

Chapter 68: The Price of Disrespect

Grace's face darkened instantly."What did you just say?"But Kelsey did not reply.She simply stared at Grace calmly.If it were left to her, she wouldn't want Grace to continue working in the mansion. But since she would be leaving after thirty days, it shouldn't be her business.Seeing that Kelsey didn't want to repeat herself, Grace let out a laugh.A sharp, mocking laugh."Just a housekeeper?"Grace's voice rose. "You've got some nerve saying that."Kelsey remained calm.Grace took a step closer."Do you know who you're talking to?"Kelsey raised a brow. "A housekeeper."Grace's expression twisted.The answer was like a slap.She hated how Kelsey was finally fighting back."You really think you're important because Mr. Holloway allowed you back into this house?"Grace sneered."You're only here temporarily."Kelsey licked the corner of her lips. "And you're here permanently?"Grace froze.Kelsey continued calmly."You're an employee. Nothing more."She paused briefly as though thinki

Chapter 69: Family Dinner

After leaving Ramon standing in the hallway, Kelsey went straight back to Kendrick's room. She didn't look back. She didn't want to. Right now, she had no interest in talking to Ramon. She quietly pushed open Kendrick's door. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully. His face looked calm, almost angelic. Nothing like the energetic child who had spent nearly an hour talking nonstop earlier. Kelsey smiled faintly. Then she quietly sat beside him. She didn't know how long she stayed there. Maybe thirty minutes or longer. At some point, Kelsey slowly opened her eyes to see Kendrick's cute eyes staring at her. The moment Kendrick saw that she was awake, his face immediately brightened. "Mummy!" Kelsey blinked and straightened from the chair as she realized she had fallen asleep. "You are awake," she said softly. "You didn't leave." His voice carried obvious relief. Kelsey gently pinched his cheek."Yeah... I'm staying over tonight." Kendrick nodded hap

Chapter 70: A Little Freedom

The next morning. Kelsey woke up earlier than usual. For a few seconds, she forgot where she was. Then the familiar ceiling of Ivory Mansion came into view. Her expression immediately flattened. Right. She was back. Only temporarily. The thought made her sit up. Last night when she entered her old room, she found out that the wardrobe already had some clothes in it. She immediately realized that Ramon had ordered them as soon as she agreed to the proposal. A knock sounded shortly afterward. "Come in." The maid pushed the door open. "Little Master is having breakfast and is asking for you." Kelsey nodded. "I'll be down in a minute." After getting ready, she headed downstairs. Kendrick was already sitting at the dining table, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Mummy!" Kelsey smiled. "Good morning." Kendrick immediately ran over and hugged her. Ramon was already seated at the table. His eyes met hers. "Morning." But Kelsey did not reply. She had
