Everyone was stunned by Victoria’s voice. Leo stopped eating and turned to look at her. Heaven removed her hands from covering her face so that she could see what’s going on. James turned to look at his daughter. He was upset by her noise. “What is your problem, Victoria!?” James raised his voice at her for the first time in a while. He wouldn’t have raised his voice if she shouted like that, startling everyone. Victoria was angry because her dad yelled at her without trying to know why she shouted. Leo was more concerned about James' health so he gave him a look trying to tell him to calm down. James understood the look clearly so he tried his best to stay calm. “Dad, you didn’t even bother to hear me out. You didn't even ask me why," Victoria answered. When she noticed James was not interested in what she had to say again, she stood up and walked out of the dining room. Heaven felt bad for her mom because she is the one that told the chef to prepare the egg salad with t

Leo was still in deep thought. He was thinking about the promise he made himself. He almost forgot he was doing something before he remembered the document he was signing. “Sir, are you okay?” Jake asked when he noticed Leo was lost in thought. The question brought Leo back to reality immediately. He moved all the papers aside and stood up from where he was sitting. He walked out of his office so that he could think clearly for a few minutes. Jake was confused because he was wondering what suddenly went wrong that's making his boss act the way he is acting. “What is wrong with me?” Leo asked himself and put his hand on his waist. He sighed heavily and finally decided to stop thinking about things that will ruin his mood. He walked back into the office and sat down. He shifted the papers closer to him and started signing them. When he was done, he handed them over to Jake who quickly put the files in the right place.*********************** Heaven was confused at this point

It was when he turned back to look at her that he realized that something was different about her. His eyes darted up and down, scrutinizing her departing figure. That's when it clicked in his head. Her clothes... He'd gotten used to seeing her in modest clothes that he had completely forgotten the first time they met. She was wearing an extremely revealing cloth then and she is doing the same now! He shook his head. He gets that they are at home and they can wear anything but does she have to wear such revealing clothes? If the stripes on her shorts had gone higher, it would have given a free display of her bum. Leo almost choked when he realized his train of thoughts. He looked away and pretended to cough. Even so... She is aware of the important event that is going on today. Does she have to dress that way? With this thought escaping into his mind, he hurried after her. He managed to catch up with her just before she began to descend down the spiraling stairs that had bee

Huh? Is there some kind of mistake here? She looked at the menu again. Why is every single dessert on the menu Leo's favorites!? She beckoned on the maid closer to her and asked,"Why...? Are these all the desserts set for the party? Is there some kind of mistake somewhere?" People nearby including Scott turned to look at her. The maid shook her head and replied in a calm voice like she had been instructed to,"No ma'am... Everything here has been personally chosen by our young master." A hush fell upon the room. Young master!? Which young master? Everyone in the room exchanged gazes in surprise. The room was only silent for a minute before it soon erupted with loud whispers of gossip. They could barely stop the excitement of finding out that the welcome party had been arranged for one young master. Mandy nodded at the maid with a fake smile and let her go. She looked around at the people murmuring and turned back to the menu. She checked the desserts section again. She chec

"Miles... Don't create a ruckus. There are guests everywhere. Keep your voice down," Wave gave his younger brother a hard stare and turned to James. He sighed as he looked at James. He really can't tell what this younger brother of his was thinking when he decided to introduce a stranger into the family's legacy. "Brother," James turned to Wave, completely ignoring Miles who didn't look too pleased by this. But the latter could only keep his anger in because their eldest brother had already warned him. Wave gave James a curious gaze, urging him to speak. He knows James wouldn't just do anything without a valid reason. "I'd like us all to talk about this in a different room... Away from all these guests," James glanced around quickly. He was quick to notice the guests that immediately faced their meals, pretending like they had been eating all along. No one spoke until Miles marched out of the room furiously, heading to the familiar sitting room in the house. Wave and James exchang
