Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve
"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo
"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i
A press conference was held in a large room with a backdrop of tall walls adorned with the company’s logo. On the stage, there was a conference table with the company’s logo, which now looked bleak. Rows of white chairs were neatly arranged for the members of the press and company executives. The CEO of the company, Kalix Owen, sat in the middle of the table, appearing calm amidst the tension of others. Beside him, there were several lawyers and financial advisors of the company. Members of the media and journalists sat in their chairs with pens, cameras, and microphones ready to cover the news. The room was very quiet and tense, with the expressions of the attendees reflecting concern and disappointment. Before the conference began, the room was shrouded in a dark and somber atmosphere, as if representing the end of an era in the world of technology. Kalix lifted his tired-looking face and slowly said, “It is with great regret that we make this statement today. Our company, State-
For a whole day, Kalix was left there without food or drink, but in the evening, someone finally arrived. The man was Mason Dominic. A more luxurious chair was placed not far in front of Kalix, and Mason sat down calmly. He gazed at the son he left in a small village. They had met again ten years ago when Kalix came to study at the country's best university in this city. "How are you?" Mason asked without any emotion. He even stared at Kalix flatly, as if he wasn't looking at his own son. Kalix offered a crooked smile and replied hoarsely, "How do you think?" Hearing that, Mason burst into laughter. He looked at Kalix with both admiration and disdain simultaneously. "Do you know why I brought you here?" Kalix didn't answer, his head lowered, but he didn't show despair. Mason wasn't bothered by Kalix's attitude. "I want to end it all for you. Everything." "Don't you want to ask why?" Mason used his cane to lift Kalix's chin. He forced the young man to look into his eyes. After
Kalix furrowed his brow, trying to remember this incident from his previous life. It seemed like something like this had happened before, but back then, he didn't go to the back building out of fear. Consequently, he ended up getting more bullying from Lorenz. As for now, Kalix still didn't want to go meet Lorenz. However, he also didn't want to offend the guy for the time being. It's not that his soul was the same as before. Kalix knew that his current temperament wouldn't hesitate to respond to punches with punches. However, he still needed a scholarship at this university. He couldn't get involved in fights or anything that would tarnish his reputation. "Alright, I'll go see him," he said, walking casually to his closet. "Don't you hear? Senior Lorenz said now!" Jimmy shouted again. "Don't let the senior come here and cause trouble for me and Grey." Kalix combed his hair casually and replied, "Don't worry, he won't cause trouble for you guys." Jimmy snorted and left with Grey.
"You're truly dedicated," Jane said with a flirtatious tone. She embraced Lorenz and buried her face in his chest, while her hands subtly grazed his waist. "Nonsense," Lorenz grabbed both of Jane's hands and moved them to touch something else. "I just enjoy oppressing poor people like that scoundrel." Jane murmured sweetly, shifting her position with her chin resting on Lorenz's broad shoulder. Her hands worked to fulfill Lorenz's desires. She calmly added, "Yes, that scoundrel has no one behind him." Kalix sneered in disgust, unable to bear the immoral behavior of jealousy any longer. He had seen enough of their video. Now it was time for him to catch the adulterers, no matter if it led to a heated argument. Peering through a gap, Kalix gazed at them. Maybe because of his intense stare, Jane sensed his presence and looked at his collar. Their gazes met, surprising Jane, and she distanced herself from Lorenz. "What's wrong?" Lorenz asked with dissatisfaction. His desires had just
Kalix stared at the series of numbers with hatred. Even though he despised the old man, he still remembered everything related to him, whether it was in his past life or now. His mother had loved the man so much that she had gone to great lengths to find him. She even waited for him to return for decades. However, in the end, what she got was not what she had hoped for. Mason did return to his hometown, but not to meet Kalix's mother, Glory, but to sever all ties from their past. At that time, Mason wanted to run for vice governor. Before his political journey reached its peak, he wanted to cleanse his past. This caused Glory to suffer a heart attack, and her condition worsened before she eventually passed away. To this day, it was Kalix's biggest regret. He should have never hidden anything from his mother. Fortunately, he had a second chance. His mother was still alive and had not been killed by Mason. "You have to go meet him," the system said, snapping him out of his reverie.
