“Mr. Lucas York, do you take Ms. Fiona Shaw to be your wife? Do you promise to care for her, accept her, and stand by her through every season of life, whether in good times or bad, in sickness and in health?”“I do.”Lucas stood in a sharp black suit, his tie perfectly straight. A faint, gentle smile softened his strong features.His eyes were deep and steady, giving him an air of calm maturity.“Ms. Fiona Shaw, do you take Mr. Lucas York to be your husband?”Lucas looked at the woman across from him, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst out of his chest.He had never been this nervous in his life.After eight long years together, today was finally the day he and Fiona were getting married.Fiona wore a white custom wedding gown. Her long hair was swept up at the back of her head, revealing a cool, stunning face that looked almost untouched by the world.She lifted her eyes slightly, her gaze pale and calm.“I…”Before she could finish, the tightly shut do

Two weeks later, Fiona returned to the country after wrapping up the Hangelia project.At the airport, she saw the private car waiting to pick her up and frowned.“Why is it you? Where’s Lucas?”The night before her flight home, she had specifically asked her executive assistant, Rachel Tate, to call Lucas and have him pick her up.She had ignored Lucas for two weeks. That was more than enough.She didn’t mind giving him a way out.To her surprise, Lucas hadn’t come.“Ms. Shaw, Mr. York hasn’t answered any of our calls. He hasn’t come to work these past two weeks either. No one has been able to reach him.”As Rachel reported, she opened the car door and respectfully invited Fiona inside.Fiona’s eyes darkened. Her gaze shifted to the suitcase Mandy was holding beside her.Inside were limited-edition sneakers worth tens of thousands, bespoke suits worth over a hundred thousand, and all kinds of luxury goods.The most expensive item was a Richard Mille watch worth more than on

After Fiona tore into him, Lucas had been too stunned to say a word.But the truth was, he had never wanted luxury gifts.He only wanted to know that she had thought of him while she was away.Even the smallest, most meaningless thing would have made him happy.But she had never given him even that.In the end, it was simply because there had never been a place for him in her heart.Now that he had finally decided to give up on this relationship, what was the point of trying to win him back?Lucas didn’t dwell on it.He ignored Rachel’s forced apologies and shut the door in her face.Out of sight, out of mind.Rachel kept apologizing from the other side of the door, but he pretended not to hear her.Only after night fell did the hallway finally go quiet.Lucas knew Rachel had left.He closed his eyes.Now he could finally get a good night’s sleep.Rachel waited until evening, but Lucas still refused to budge.Her patience was completely gone.She left the apartment and

Lucas quickly pushed Fiona out of his mind.She had plenty of people around her who cared about her.Who was he to worry about her?At Dragon Gate’s underground boxing arena, Lucas stunned everyone with his performance.He took down his opponent in under three moves and became the night’s biggest dark horse.Before the match, almost no one had bet on him because he was a newcomer.By the time the fight ended, the few people who had backed him had made a fortune overnight.Thrilled by their winnings, they rushed to the front desk as soon as the match ended to ask about Lucas.Dragon Gate took privacy seriously and wouldn’t reveal a fighter’s information easily.After asking around for a long time, all they managed to learn was that his fighter number was Six.Everything else remained a mystery.On Lucas’s side, he went straight to the locker room after the match and changed back into his own clothes.A manager named Mr. Lopez personally handed him a stack of cash.“Your pay

Lucas laughed along with her.After chatting for a little longer, he hung up.Early the next morning, Lucas took a cab to the orphanage.After a two-hour ride, he walked in carrying several large bags.The children were playing tag in the yard. The moment they saw him, they abandoned the game and all rushed toward him.“Lucas! You’re here!”“Why did it take you so long to come see us? We missed you so much!”“Lucas, can you play with us?”A smile spread across Lucas’s usually serious face.He began handing out the gifts he had brought, gently ruffling the children’s hair as he went.“Missed me? Or did you just miss the presents I always bring?“Teddy, looks like you’ve been eating well lately. Your cheeks are getting chubby.“Benny, did you behave while I was gone? You didn’t play pranks on the teachers, did you?”After playing with the children for a while, Lucas suddenly noticed that a quiet little girl named Mia was nowhere to be seen.He looked at Chloe Hayes, who had
