After searching everywhere, Felix couldn't find what he was looking for.A thin sweat appeared on his temples, and his brow furrowed. He straightened up, looked around his small room, and muttered, "Why isn't it there? I remember I used to keep it in this room."Arista was unlikely to take it because he had never told her about the letters, especially after seeing the change in her demeanor. Felix didn't want to take any chances and chose to hide it.However, unexpectedly, after years of hiding, he now lost it."No, I have to look for it again." With that, Felix went back to opening the drawers one by one.Since the letters were placed in a wooden box, their presence must have been prominent and easily visible.After again seeing that all the drawers were empty, Felix moved to the bed. He squatted down and looked down, peering underneath.His forehead immediately creased faintly when he saw a large box at the far end. "What's that?"Not really remembering what he had put under the bed
Felix gazed at the magnificent building in front of him with a satisfied look. After a few days, he could finally see his new home. Feeling quite satisfied with the front yard, Felix slowly stepped up the stairs and pushed the main door wide open, revealing the charming interior of the house. Everything was decorated in gold and white, making it look radiant yet soothing. Although the house Ardo and Benton lived in was very nice, it was not to his taste, unlike this house. Felix smiled happily and murmured, "Welcome to my palace." Then, he walked to the living room sofa and sat down gently. "I don't think it needs to be replaced," Felix said as he leaned back and patted the handle to see if it was comfortable. He slowly closed his eyes and unconsciously fell asleep. Meanwhile, at Haris' house, the two were still in the living room, hugging each other and crying. "I always miss him, but... He must have suffered a lot." Diana spoke while crying, making her cough recur. However, s
Mr. Zay's tightly knit eyebrows softened slightly. He looked at the servant beside him and said, "Take him to the side courtyard! I will see him in a moment.""Yes, my lord." The servant bowed obediently and left quickly.After that, Lord Zay's gaze returned to his children. Those who had raised their heads in curiosity instantly lowered their heads deeply."Don't get happy just yet! You guys go to your rooms and don't even think about running away! Remember, the question I asked you earlier still applies. Wait until I'm done talking to Felix, and don't act up. Do you understand?" Mr. Zay suddenly raised his voice in his last sentence, making them once again flinch in surprise."Understood, Father," Clarita replied in a lazy voice.Mr. Zay's anger returned. "Got it?"Chloe spontaneously closed her eyes as she was continuously startled by her father's voice. Even Caitlin was about to cry again. Her small lips trembled, and her tears welled up. Austin, who saw that, quietly shifted hims
A confidant who does something about the family? Mr. Zay's brow furrowed slightly, realizing the seriousness of this question.He looked at Felix intently and then looked down, trying to dig into his memory about this. Until finally, he nodded. "I had one person. But he quit a long time ago because he wanted to take care of his elderly parents."Felix's heart suddenly tightened.If that person was the same person who met Haris and Diana, then it was true that Ardo was Mr. Zay's son who went missing after the accident. However, judging from the pressure Mr. Zay was under and his efforts to find his son to the point of being deceived by others, it was clearly impossible that it was Mr. Zay himself.All this time, he could clearly see the emotions in his eyes. The sadness and loss were not contrived at all.A subordinate would not dare to do such a thing without specific orders from a superior. Mr. Zay was an only child, and his parents had passed away long ago, of course, this was a no
Instantly, the dining table became silent.Chloe glanced at her father and sister in turn and shrank her neck, trying to minimize her presence. Autin and Caitlin didn't dare make any noise either. Both of them knew clearly what was going on, so they lowered their heads and shrank their bodies out of sight."Father, I-" Clarita was speechless."Why, aren't you also my daughter? Compared to Chloe, you're more suitable for that position. However, for now, you're still second only to me. Clarita, you're no longer a child. Are you going to keep playing around like this forever?" Mr. Zay's gaze dimmed slightly, and looked at Clarita helplessly.He loved his children dearly, but they were always playing with the limits of his patience. The dilemma of being a single parent made him sometimes think it would be better if his children had an understanding and caring nature.Clarita was stunned. She pulled her gaze away and looked down, playing with her hands on her thighs. "Father.""I'm not for
After introducing Felix to the team he would be working with today, Mr. Barnes ordered someone to move the chairs so that he could watch Felix's first photoshoot.Felix was quite shy and unused to it. Especially since Mr. Barnes was sitting right next to the photographer. Just thinking about it was unbearable, so Felix looked at Mr. Barnes and said, "Sir, I'm fine. You can continue your work without worry. I can handle it."But Mr. Barnes remained motionless and waved a hand, telling Felix to leave. "I have no urgent work to do. My priority right now is to see your first photo shoot."Felix's mouth twitched, and finally chose to enter the dressing room.The photographer setting up his camera smiled and looked at Mr. Barnes. "Looks like you're very close to him."Mr. Barnes chuckled and looked in the direction Felix had gone. "I still want to get closer to him. He's very attractive. You know, he has a unique charm that endears him to many Leaders. Even Group Leader Zay claims him as hi
However, Felix didn't care. He remained focused on his food without even looking at the girl in front of him.That, of course, made the girl a little annoyed. Her beautifully drawn eyebrows twitched slightly but then calmed down with a charming smile that filled her beautiful face. "Hey, look at me!""Let's get acquainted! On a normal day, I rarely have the initiative to ask people out, but you're different." As she spoke, the girl moved her body forward until her chest was pressed against the table. Her delicate hands stretched forward, moving to stroke the table in a seductive motion. "Just by catching a glimpse of you, I'm already stunned. What is your name, and where is your house? Can I play there?"Felix's hand movements instantly stopped. He swallowed the food and raised his gaze, looking at the girl in front of him flatly. "Aren't you here to eat?"Instead of feeling embarrassed or scared, the girl widened her smile. She tucked her well-groomed hair behind her ear and said, "E
"Where else should I go?" Felix stood staring at the street in confusion. He stepped closer to a chair and sat down while slowly sipping his coffee. "I've come this far, but why is no one who needs help? It can't be this coincidental, right?"Felix took another sip of his coffee and looked at the deserted street. As he gazed at the dimly lit street to the right, he suddenly had a thought. "How about going that way? Usually, streets like that at night have more crime."After thinking for a while, Felix finally stood up. "Alright, let's go there!""I can't go home without something like this," Felix continued as he threw his coffee cup in the trash and got on his bike.Just as he was about to put on his helmet, a shout suddenly rang out from the right, causing Felix to turn his head.The shout came back, accompanied by a girl's voice. "Don't come any closer! If you dare take even one step, I won't hesitate to report you to the police!"Felix's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he quickly
