A few days after the incident, Dustin was doing his usual activities. There was a knock on the apartment door. Dustin immediately opened the door, and there stood a man who was a waiter in the apartment building. The servant bowed his head respectfully before Dustin. "Excuse me, sir. I would like to extend an invitation to your family from Madame Nora."The maid extended her hand to Dustin, handing him an invitation letter of thick paper with a navy-colored ribbon. Dustin nodded his head as he took the invitation letter. "Thank you."The waiter bowed his head respectfully. "Excuse me, sir." He excused himself from Dustin's presence. Dustin re-entered the apartment.Eri, who had heard Nora's name mentioned earlier, became curious. "Is that a wedding invitation from Nora?""Yes," Dustin replied as he handed the invitation letter to Eri. Eri looked excited to receive the invitation letter. Not because she was happy but because she was curious and wanted to prove that the groom was indeed
Riot's eyes widened perfectly when she heard that. She was shocked. She wondered in her heart, how could the police know that? She tried to act calm. "Sorry, what are you talking about, sir? I didn't do what you're accusing me of. How could I have done such a shameful thing?"The police chief looked at Riot with an incredulous look. "There's no need to be evasive, sir. Based on the evidence, the victim's testimony, and the witnesses who reported you, you have committed an offense against a minor. Therefore, we hope that you will cooperate and come with us to the police station by all means."The police chief signaled to his men to arrest Riot, and Riot panicked when two policemen stood beside him while holding his hands. "Wait, what is this? You can't just take me away. Where's the evidence? You must be making this up.""Mr. Riot, please calm down and come with us. You'll have to explain at the police station." The chairman raised his hand, ordering his men to immediately take Riot ou
Dustin knew that he couldn't keep hiding like this forever. Eventually, Thomas would find out where he was. Moreover, his cousin's ambition to usurp Dustin's position as heir to the Kenderick family was growing. After Dustin met with Thomas that day at the Kenderick family home, Albert repeatedly told him that Thomas already knew about him, although he didn't know exactly which city. Dustin planned to confess who he really was to everyone because no matter how evasive, Dustin was the heir to the Kenderick family.After Nora left, Dustin also left Karina. Of course, this left Karina confused. Karina chased Dustin to the front door of the building. "Where are you going, Dustin?""I have some business to take care of. You should go home with mom and dad first. When you get home, you should watch the news tonight."Eri and Jake frowned. They didn't understand why Dustin would say something like that. Eri snorted in annoyance. "What's going to be on the news tonight? The broadcast about th
Karina's family and Grayson's family were shocked to hear that. Even everyone who was there looked at Dustin in disbelief. The reporters were silent momentarily in shock, then they took pictures of Dustin and Yosan. Various questions from the reporters could be heard filling the room."Is that man really your son? Why has his identity been unknown all this time and why are you introducing him to the world today?" One journalist from a private television station asked the loudest question of all.More questions followed, making the atmosphere noisy and chaotic. Yosan glanced at Albert and the organizers. The organizers immediately raised their hands as a sign to tell them to be quiet. "Please calm down everyone. We will answer some of your questions. Please be orderly and don't take many pictures."The journalists slowly became silent. They all stopped taking pictures. The organizer respectfully raised his hand to Yosan to answer some crucial questions that needed to be answered, while
Karina left the house, going to the park near her apartment to calm down. She leaned her back against the back of a park chair. She couldn't believe that Dustin had been behind her all this time. Karina thought she was lucky to be able to work at Kenderick's subsidiary because of her abilities, but it turned out that it was because of Dustin's help. She also remembered why Dustin could buy a luxury car, spend on his parents, take luxurious vacations, and even have a black card that had been used so many times that he could buy a private luxury yacht.Karina lowered her head while grabbing her hair roughly. "I should have known and guessed that. No wonder he also seems to be close to Mr. Albert and Mr. Lewis, it turns out that Dustin is a person of honor and respect to them."Karina became even more upset that Dustin was keeping such a big secret. She felt like Dustin had tricked her. However, Karina also wondered why Dustin would keep this secret. Murder? Karina didn't believe in that
Karina reflected on what she had done to Dustin. The talk about her husband kept coming up, making her feel even more guilty. Karina thought it wouldn't hurt to hear why Dustin hid everything. Karina knew that Dustin was not a bad man. She nodded her head, reassuring herself. "Yes, there must be a reason. I have to know." Karina got up from her chair and left the ice cream shop after making the payment.***Karina returned to the apartment. She looked away when she met Dustin's gaze, then went to the kitchen. Dustin only watched Karina from the living room because he thought that Karina was still angry and didn't want to talk to him.Karina came home with something for Dustin. It was food that she had bought on the way home. Karina unwrapped the food and prepared it alone in the kitchen for dinner with Dustin. Karina brought the two plates containing her and Dustin's dinner to the dining room, placed the food on the plates, and then brought them to the dining table. "Dinner."Dustin t
Now that everyone knew Dustin's identity, he thought it was time to introduce Karina as his wife to the Kenderick family. "You said you've never met a Kenderick family member, do you want to meet them now?"Karina's brow furrowed. She chuckled at Dustin's question. "I've already met you. Directly with the heir."Dustin smiled slightly. "It's not like that." He took Karina's hand. "I want to introduce you to my extended family. Do you want to?"Karina was stunned to hear that. Of course, she was thrilled. She was going to meet her father-in-law. Karina could only answer with a nod of her head. Dustin was happy with Karina's answer. "Then, tomorrow we'll go to the Kenderick family's house."***The day Karina was looking forward to finally arrived. Karina and Dustin were dressed neatly. They had been ready since this morning. Eri and Jake, who saw their appearance, looked different from usual. Eri examined Karina's clothes. "Where are you two going? Why do you look so neat?"Karina and
Dustin and Karina went into the room. There, Dustin was quite stunned because the state of his room was still the same as before. Nothing had changed in his room, in fact, everything was still very neat and clean. Karina sat on the edge of the bed, then was distracted by a picture frame of a middle-aged woman on the bedside table. "Is this your mother, Dustin?"Dustin turned his head in the direction Karina was pointing and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed the picture frame and stared at it intently. "Yes, she's my mom."Karina gently stroked Dustin's arm. Dustin put the picture frame back on the nightstand. Sadly, he didn't want to ruin the moment between them by remembering his mother. Dustin smiled as he stroked Karina's cheek. "Are you happy to be here?"Karina nodded her head quickly. "Yes, of course. I'm very happy to meet your father. Although at first I was afraid that your father wouldn't accept me."Dustin nodded his head. He was also actually afraid that his father wo
Karina covered her mouth in disbelief at what Dustin had just said. Her eyes filled with tears. She jumped into Dustin's arms."I'm so happy, Dustin." Karina wiped away her tears while releasing a hug from Dustin. She held the man's hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital now to make sure that your memory has indeed fully recovered."Dustin smiled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright." He also couldn't wait to find out.They quickly got into the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital where Dustin usually went for medical checkups. As for Ludwig and Agnes, they left it to the bodyguards and nannies to take the sleeping children back home.Along the way, Karina continued to hold Dustin's hand with an indescribable feeling on her face. Her heart kept beating fast, eager to discover if Dustin's memory had fully recovered.When they arrived at the hospital, Dustin was immediately examined by a doctor. All the examination results will be known within the next 2 hours.Karina bit h
They decided to spend time together there, making a campfire on the beach and enjoying the small waves that occasionally came closer.Ludwig was having fun today. He ate the grilled corn and sausages with gusto. "This is fun. This place is also very beautiful and makes me happy."Karina nodded her head. "That's right. Mom is always happy to be here, too." She rested her head on Dustin's shoulder. "Now everything feels complete. This happiness, the children, and our togetherness."Dustin frowned as a memory flashed through his mind. "Ah, yes. I can remember that."Karina smiled happily. They watched Ludwig, who was feeding his new pet dog and looked at Agnes, who was already sleeping peacefully on the trolley.Dustin kissed Karina's forehead warmly. The images and flashbacks in his mind continued to swirl, showing how many memories it would be a shame for him to forget.Ludwig approached them while stroking his stomach, which looked slightly distended from overeating. "Mom, Dad, I'm sl
When they arrived home, they saw Clark waiting at their door. Ludwig and Agnes rushed into the house first, along with their maidservant. Meanwhile, Karina and Dustin approached Clark.Clark immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw them. "Good afternoon. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."Albert immediately lowered his head when he saw Dustin glancing at him. Dustin's gaze seemed to ask why Clark wasn't waiting inside the house. Although Albert knew that Clark was the one who had saved his master, he didn't want to be presumptuous in inviting the white-haired man into the house without Dustin's permission."Not at all. Come on, come in." Dustin touched Clark's back, led him into the house, and sat together in the living room."You should have told me in advance that you were coming here so I wouldn't have gone anywhere and kept you waiting for a long time." Dustin felt bad for making Clark wait for him. He had no idea how long he had been waiting.Clark seemed to exhale softl
Axel bowed his body before Dustin, looking very sorry for this incident. "I apologize for this unpleasant incident."Dustin nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter. It's also my fault as a parent for not paying proper attention to my child."Axel did not expect that something like this would happen at his mall. The problem was it happened to Dustin. Axel felt bad.Dustin looked back, seeing how Ludwig was doing. "Are you okay?" Ludwig nodded his head. Dustin patted Ludwig lightly on the shoulder. "You're a very extraordinary boy. You don't have to fear anything if you're in the right situation."Dustin held his son's shoulders as he leaned over slightly, looking earnestly into his son's face. "If someone else wants to push you down, you have to push them back."Ludwig exhaled softly with a severe face. "Father, don't treat me like a child. Of course, I know that." He folded his arms across his chest. "You saw that yourself, right? I can deal with both of them."Dustin smiled, then hugged Lu
Karina immediately embraced Ludwig's body. The look on her face was one of deep concern. She had been trying to avoid approaching Ludwig, holding back the resentment and anger in her heart towards the man with glasses and his son."Are you okay? No injuries?" Karina watched Ludwig's face and body, who had been pushed several times until he almost fell.Ludwig only answered with a shake of his head.Dustin slammed Nueve's hand down so hard that the man took a few steps back and dropped his glasses. His nearsighted eyes squinted, trying to see who was before him."You're the father of this fucking kid?" Nueve tapped Dustin on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger. "Look at this!" He pointed at his glasses that had fallen to the floor. "You made my glasses fall off. Compensate now!" He clucked in annoyance while holding his head. "Ah, how unlucky I am to have met two damn people like this."Dustin remained silent, looking at Nueve with a sharp gaze. He was holding back his anger
"You've hurt my son." The man's voice was so loud that it scared Ludwig because he had never been yelled at like that by anyone, not even his parents.Ludwig was scolded by the man with glasses. The man's eyes were not good, so he thought that Ludwig was a damn person who abused his son."He's the one who's not careful." Ludwig tried to defend himself. He looked at the boy sharply."Don't be evasive." The boy pushed Ludwig's shoulder, causing Ludwig to take a few steps back. "You're the one who knocked me down." The boy held up his index finger, pointing at Ludwig, seemingly not wanting to take the blame for his actions earlier.Ludwig was waiting in line for his turn to play the basketball game, but since it was filled with kids who were quite a bit older than him, Ludwig decided not to play the game and left. But when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the boy, knocking him to the floor.It wasn't all Ludwig's fault because the boy he hit was playing with his cell phone,
After breakfast, Karina took Dustin to the office where they used to spend time together doing their work. Dustin looked around and was surprised to see so many reports on the desk.Karina stroked the edge of the brown desk and looked at Dustin. "Actually, this is all your work, but I'm helping you finish it little by little even though it seems like the reports are never finished because they keep adding up every day."Karina picked up one of the files there and opened it, then handed it to Dustin. "Maybe you'll remember it better if you see this."Dustin took the file and looked at Karina. "So, this is all my work?" He did not expect his duties as the head of the Kenderick family to be this extraordinary. He opened the file and skimmed through it. "It's overwhelming and confusing."Karina nodded her head and sat on the table while gently stroking Dustin's shoulder. "At first, I also had a hard time working through all of this, but I forced myself and managed to do it." Karina smiled
Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine." He raised both hands while smiling kindly. "As you can see."Clark nodded. He sat on the chair next to Dustin's bed. "I had no idea that you... ah, I mean, you were such a wonderful person." He smiled with a cautious-looking face. "You are the leader of the Kenderick family."Clark looked very awkward in Dustin's presence. Even now, he dared not look directly into Dustin's eyes. He only dared to glance occasionally.Dustin smiled at Clark's behavior, which was different from usual. "Just act normal. Don't be awkward or feel reluctant towards me. I already think of you as my friend."Clark smiled happily as he raised his hand. "This is truly a tremendous honor for me."Dustin shook his head with a soft sigh. "Don't overdo it. Just behave as you normally do. I am deeply indebted to you for taking such good care of me."Clark smiled as he bowed his head for a moment. "It's my duty as a doctor."Clark looked at Dustin. Although Dustin's memories we
Karina released her embrace from Dustin. She wiped away her tears, and then Dustin's hand gently wiped away the remaining tears on Karina's cheeks. The woman's face reddened slightly."So, are you my wife?" Dustin asked again to make sure. He was still not entirely sure because this felt strange to him. Even with all the images in his memory, it felt like something new.Karina nodded her head. "Yes, I am your wife." Karina stroked Dustin's face affectionately. "You are my most handsome husband."Karina's pupils lit up. The longing in her heart for Dustin was so great. She couldn't imagine if Dustin had died in the helicopter crash. She wasn't ready and never would be, especially with Ludwig and Agnes still young. They desperately needed Dustin's love.Karina smiled, lowering her hand carefully. "You are a great person. You protected me under any circumstances. You were even willing to risk your life for me several times." Karina tried to unlock Dustin's memories. "You were very good a
