Kalix is sitting on the sofa in the room, his facial features blurred in the dim light, only his eyes shining coldly at me. After a while, Kalix takes out his phone and makes a call.As the phone call ends, night has truly arrived. Kalix bows his head, and his eyelashes cast deep shadows under his eyes, making him look lonely and indifferent.Not knowing how long the doorbell rang, Kalix lifts his eyelids and walks expressionlessly.Kalix opens the door from the inside and sees a beautiful woman standing outside the door.It turns out to be Eugene.Seeing this unexpected person, Kalix is momentarily confused, “You... Why are you here?”But before Eugene gives an answer, Kalix has already pulled her into his embrace.Despite the hug, Eugene can feel Kalix's anger because she came to him suddenly, without saying a word.To avoid the man's anger, she says weakly, “I'm tired and hungry.”Although feeling happy, there are still hard wrinkles on his forehead when he looks at Eugene. Kalix w

"You truly lived with that woman for years without knowing her rottenness?" Eugene widened her eyes, staring incredulously at Kalix, then continued, "I must admit, Mr. Kalix Owen, you were very naive in your past life."Kalix's expression appeared gloomy as he covered Eugene's mouth with his hand. Only when he was certain she would stop berating her foolishness did he release her."It's not just me who's foolish, Miss Eugene Celeste, you're also foolish for marrying a scoundrel like Jaxson Dominic."Upon hearing Kalix's retort, Eugene snorted in disgust and argued, "I must have been deceived."Oh, Kalix couldn't do anything about it because that was the truth. He heard from Nick that, in order to marry Eugene, Jaxson actually played an emotional game that gradually made Eugene dependent on him.Kalix sighed deeply, then leaned back. "Do you really believe my story? Doesn't it sound like nonsense?""Mm-hmm, it does sound like nonsense," Eugene replied without hesitation. She observed K

Under that provocative gaze, Eugene certainly didn't want to back down. She returned Jane's stare, not with her usual calmness, but with a hint of possessiveness and a firm determination to defend what she had. They locked eyes, baring their emotions to each other.Seeing this, Kalix felt dizzy. Even if he didn't like Jane, it didn't mean he enjoyed seeing Eugene so defensive. Yet, he didn't want to intervene and risk being misunderstood by Eugene. So, he quietly observed the confrontation unfolding before his eyes.Realizing Kalix's silence, both Eugene and Jane simultaneously turned their gaze toward him."What's up? Did you finally remember I'm here?" Kalix looked at Eugene and spoke to her naturally.Eugene snorted in annoyance and turned her face away. She looked at Jane again, "I don't care who you are or where you're from. All I know is that Kalix is mine, and I'll defend him unless he himself wants to leave me.""Tsk, do you think I'll believe that?" Jane expressed her disbeli

Kalix returned home, not for rest or to eat or drink, but to search for his mother's phone and check it. When he opened the phone, as he suspected, it was indeed from a number he hadn't seen in a long time but was very familiar. It was the number that had repeatedly contacted him in his previous life, threatening him. Staring at a series of numbers that even after years couldn't be forgotten, a sense of disgust crossed Kalix's eyes.Considering what Mason had done, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.However, the phone in his pocket rang, redirecting his thoughts back to reality. Indeed, he no longer lived under Mason Dominic's control or any other Dominic family member. He had lived his life according to his own desires and done so very well.He was different from the lonely and foolish Kalix of the past.Calming himself, Kalix took his phone from his jacket pocket and answered Eugene's call."Are you okay?" It was the first question Eugene asked, unconsciously making all the disco
