Amora had been bursting with excitement since early morning. Her dream of visiting an amusement park was finally coming true today.Even so, during breakfast with the extended Harrison family, Ian and the little girl’s mother remained mindful of their place and behaved politely.“My mother plans to stay here a little longer, and since I don’t have a job at the moment—in other words, I’m unemployed—I’ll be staying here too. Is that okay with you, Eli? Nora?” Ian asked, seeking Elizabeth and Nora’s permission.“Of course! The more people in this house, the merrier,” Nora replied enthusiastically. “Are you really going to take Amora to the amusement park?” she asked, making sure.“Yes. Right, sweetheart?” Ian turned to Amora.The little girl, who was busy chewing her toast, quickly nodded with a sweet smile.“Look at you... You used to say you never wanted children, but you’re already acting like a father to her,” Diana teased her son. There was no sharpness in her voice, only playful am

The car Ian was driving finally pulled into the amusement park parking lot. Amora was practically bouncing with excitement, unable to wait another second to jump out and try all the rides.“You’re... really coming in with us?” Abigail asked again, still looking uncertain.Ian’s words at the breakfast table that morning had been bothering her ever since. Although Abigail had tried not to take them too seriously, Ian’s extra attention toward her and Amora still made her feel awkward.“Am I not allowed to come with you and Amora?” Ian asked in return.He then turned toward the back seat, where Amora was sitting.“Sweetheart, should Uncle just go home?” he asked, putting on an exaggeratedly disappointed expression.“Mommy... Uncle Ian said it’s been such a long time since he went to an amusement park. Why can’t he come with us?” Amora asked her mother with adorable innocence.“Mommy isn’t saying he can’t come, sweetheart, but—”“Then let’s go! We don’t want to run out of tickets for the r

“High school,” Lily answered quickly, trying to put an end to Ian’s suspicions before he could ask anything more. “But we weren’t particularly close because we were in different classes,” she added, hoping to make her explanation convincing.“That’s a shame. I was actually hoping to learn more about Abby from you,” Ian said as he casually took another sip of his wine. “How does it taste?” he asked, glancing at Abigail expectantly.Abigail, who had been holding her breath the entire time, slowly nodded. “Mmm... pretty good?” she replied hesitantly, making Ian chuckle.Without thinking, Ian reached over and gently ruffled the top of Abigail’s head as though she were a little girl.“You’re adorable. Is this your first time drinking wine?” he asked, with no intention of teasing her.Mark, on the other hand, let out another derisive snort from his seat.

The private VIP lounge of the nightclub was filled with the boisterous laughter of Mark’s business associates, accompanied by the heavy, pungent smell of alcohol hanging thickly in the air.They had invited Mark that night for one reason—to persuade him to sign the latest joint venture between their company and Harrison Corp. But Mark, who had yet to make any decision, responded to their advances with nothing but cold indifference.“Mr. Harrison, once you sign our joint venture agreement, I guarantee that Harrison Corp’s profits will increase by thirty percent.” Jacob raised his glass, inviting Mark to toast.Mark lifted his own glass but deliberately refrained from drinking. He knew perfectly well that Jacob’s business dealings were far from clean. Just to celebrate the planned signing of the project, the man had even hired several attractive women to seduce him.Mark, however, had no interest in any of them.Th
