Early the next morning, a row of cars lined up at the Rover Mansion as Mark, Cassie, Alex, and Violet arrived back at Lancaster. The welcoming sight of Romera, Mark's mom, awaited them as soon as they entered. She greeted them with a playful smirk, having heard about the storm caused by Cassie's sudden craving.She mockingly scolded them;"Well, well! What have you four been up to? I hear you all kicked up quite a storm just because of a simple sour craving?"Violet stepped forward and jumped to hug her, then said teasingly;"Oh, you know, just a typical day! But I have to say, auntie, your daughter- in- law is too spoiled, she keeps us all on our toes!"Romera chuckled, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she stepped forward and brought Cassie on her side.Placing one arm around her back in a protective gesture, she spoke;"I knew you wouldn't be able to handle it, that's why I didn't want to leave my Cassie behind with your troublesome trio."Grinning, Violet stood on the other si

And finally, she pulled out the actual gems of the attic, which were the photo albums and diaries that chronicled the milestones of Mark's early years. Romera handed Cassie a weathered album, its pages filled with snapshots capturing Mark's infectious smiles. "Oh, look at this one!" Romera exclaimed, pointing to a photo of a young Mark in a superhero cape, his eyes filled with determination as he seemed ready to embark on a quest to save the imaginary world. Cassie couldn't help but giggle at the adorable sight, and then turned the page to find a large photograph of Matteo and Mark together.The signature and date at the bottom of the photograph indicated that it was taken in the summer of 1998.The photograph showed the two boys standing in a rose grove. Matteo, aged almost five, stood with curiosity, wearing a neat sailor suit and sporting sandy blond hair. His eyes reflected his amusement as he posed with a sincere smile.Beside him, one and a half year old Marcus was dressed

The meeting that was supposed to end in an hour, somehow finished up early, giving Mark the greatest joy of the day.As the days for the delivery were coming near, he was becoming more and more anxious about Cassie’s health as well he was feeling more and more homesick without her presence.It was just like she had become his entire home, and he had started to feel homeless in her absence!Thinking this, he quickly wrapped up everything that was still left to be monitored by him, and asked his secretary to clear up the rest of his schedule and cancel all his other plans for today, if he had any.And with that, in the hope of giving Cassie a pleasant surprise, he rushed back to the Rover mansion.But it seems that the surprise he wanted to give Cassie, was already ready with a return gift. Because after arriving there, he found out that his wife and mother had gone to a spa.The uneasiness in his heart started to grow, even though he knew that his mother would definitely be taking grea

She looked at Mark with her sharp eyes, which were glittering with the fake pride and ego, which were present there just because of her husband.Completing her last sentence, she took a long and deep sigh, as if she was trying to give her condolences to Cassie, for what she was about to do. She was trying to act like she was a really kind hearted lady who didn't really want to do this, but she was forced to take this step, all because of Mark!Mark was the one who had not left a generous and considerate soul like her with any other option, after insulting her infront of Cassie and her husband, who was also present there on a phone call.If he had not misbehaved with her, she would have been a lady of high class and a golden heart, who didn't want to do bad towards anyone, even if that person was a low class, stinky, poor delivery boy who had no manners.And with this belief in her heart and plenty of arrogance in her expression, she proceeded.I know that after hearing this, you hav

While Natalie was screaming like a banshee at the top of her lungs, her husband was listening very carefully to everything that was going on at the other side of the call.At first, he had just told her that he was willing to do whatever she wanted him to do– from introducing her friend to the single people in his circles, to getting the person a job and a good tip if he knelt down and apologized to his wife for whatever he had done to offend her.But the moment he heard his wife talking about the most expensive phone in the world, he knew right away that it was the same phone his wife had been asking him to buy and he wasn't even able to get a slot in the guest list.He knew that only a limited number of those phones had been sold, and this model was under the ownership of only three people in the whole world. So if the doubt in his wife's mind was true, then there was a high chance that he could really get the opportunity to meet the Rover family in person.Till now, he had just se
