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
Because Dustin had returned to the Kenderick family. Yosan immediately prepared a party to welcome the return of the heir. All the servants were busy preparing for the party. Starting from the decorations and party arrangements, it was specially designed by famous designers and building designers. Not half-heartedly, Yosan brought in experts in their fields. Yosan wanted to give the best welcome party for Dustin.The other members of the Kenderick family were annoyed because they thought Yosan was too much. They didn't even participate in helping prepare the party. They just watched with annoyance. Merry, Yosan's sister, who was none other than Thomas's mother, was even haughty and snappy to the servants, showing her dislike clearly."How annoying. My son should be the heir to the Kenderick family. Yosan is indeed unfair. His son, who has left the family, is made the heir instead." Merry cursed in annoyance. She left the party room, pulling herself together to go to the mall.One day
Dustin led Karina out of the building where the party was being held. Karina threw Dustin's hand out of hers. Karina looked at Dustin with an annoyed look on her face. "Can you explain what exactly happened here? Who is that woman? Is she really your fiancée that you're supposed to marry? Explain it to me, Dustin."Dustin looked intently at Karina's face, then explained about the woman who claimed to be his ex-fiancée. "Yes, the woman with the short hair is my fiancée. Her name is Zeya, but we're not that close. I just thought of her as a friend. She once tried to betray me and I even saw her kissing another man." Dustin smiled slightly as he recalled the incident. "The thing I remember the most and can't forget, is that he didn't sympathize when I lost my mother. That's why I distanced myself from Zeya. After that, I had a conflict with my father."Karina nodded her head, listening to everything Dustin said. "But it seems like she's still expecting you, Dustin. She claims to be your
Dustin's facial expression remained unchanged even though he heard the shouting voice of Karina, who immediately ran towards him. "Dustin!"Karina, looking worried with teary eyes, immediately checked Dustin's condition. She held Dustin's head and felt his body to ensure nothing was hurt. "Are you okay? Nothing got hurt, right?"Dustin only replied with a nod, then looked at Thomas, who seemed to smile while raising his hands casually. "I'm sorry, I accidentally shot at you. My hands were slippery with sweat."Oscar and Julian laughed at Karina, who seemed to overreact to Thomas' stray shot at Dustin. Julian grinned at Dustin, who was now also looking at him coldly. "Why, things like that often happen at the shooting range."The servants who were there became tense. They felt a different atmosphere and could only look at each other. Albert, who had been in the place watching them from afar, approached Dustin but at a great distance from the battlefield. "Are you alright, sir?"Dustin
Karina widened her eyes perfectly at Dustin's words. "Are you serious? If your cousin has the nerve to almost kill you, that means you're in a very dangerous situation, Dustin. What if he does the same thing again? I'm afraid something bad will happen to you, Dustin."Karina looked anxious, thinking about what might happen to Dustin. Dustin grasped Karina's hands tightly while staring intently into his wife's eyes. "Take it easy, he won't be able to touch me."Even so, Karina still did not feel at ease. Judging from how Thomas looked at Dustin, Karina could guess that Thomas did not like Dustin, who was now the heir to the Kenderick family. However, Karina didn't want to show her anxiety before Dustin. She could only hope that Dustin was doing well and was always under protection.***After a few days of officially becoming the heir to the Kenderick family, Dustin finally returned to work at the Kenderick family's main company. He walked in with great dignity. All the workers there se
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
