“I’ve done much more for you in the past, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it. After all, I won’t be so foolish again in the future.”
Cynthia’s words echoed in Colton’s ears as they left Libre Restaurant.
The silence between them was palpable, but Colton finally broke it. addressing Timothy, who was driving. “Let’s head to the mansion.”
“All right.” Timothy turned the car around as he blocked Elsa’s number.
It was a preemptive measure to avoid the anticipated onslaught of phone calls from her.
Sure enough, when Elsa, who was in the hospital, realized that Colton hadn’t come to visit her, anxiety crept over her, and she immediately dialed Timothy’s number. Reluctant to bother Colton directly, she thought handling a mere assistant like Timothy would be an easy task.
However, to her surprise, she was greeted by a busy tone.
It infuriated her to no end that a lowly assistant would dare to block her calls.
In the midst of her anger, the hospital room door suddenly swung open.
“Colt!”
Nevertheless, her smile froze when she saw her visitor. “Why are you here?”
A woman dressed in designer clothes stormed into the hospital room. “Didn’t you claim to be more than capable? Look at the state you’re in now. You lost the child, and yet you expect to capture Colton’s heart?”

Elsa glared at her, annoyance evident in her eyes. “Mom! I know what I’m doing!”
Agnes scoffed, looking around the room. “If you truly knew what you were doing, you wouldn’t have ended up in this mess.”
She sneered at Elsa. “You’re just not ruthless enough. What’s the point of engaging in endless online arguments? It’s time for you to take real action.”
Elsa didn’t want to entertain her mother any further. She interrupted. Agnes, “What are you doing here?”
Agnes remained unfazed by the question and casually rubbed her two fingers together. “I haven’t received this month’s payment yet,” she stated.
Elsa stiffened. “How much?”
“Five hundred thousand.” Agnes smiled ingratiatingly, but Elsa’s shock turned into indignation. “Five hundred thousand? Do you really think I’m running a bank? No way!”
Agnes‘ smile vanished. She said coldly, “Don’t forget how you got involved with Colton. If you…”
“That’s enough!”
Despite knowing that Colton was unlikely to come, Elsa’s face still paled with fear. “Calm down! If something happens to me, those debt collectors. will come after you!”
Grudgingly, Elsa took out her phone and transferred the money to her
mother.
Agnes smiled smugly. “Thank you! Take good care of yourself and make sure to give Colton another child.”

Elsa was lett staring at the closed door, her anger reaching a boiling point. In a fit of rage, she picked up a nearby vase and shattered it into pieces on the ground.
Upon arriving home. Cynthia was greeted by the sight of her two children playing in the living room.
Luna was engrossed in playing house, while Lukas responded.
perfunctorily from time to time, his gaze remain fixed on his notebook.
“Mom!” Luna exclaimed, dropping her toy and rushing toward Cynthia with open arms,
The sudden weight nearly caused Cynthia to lose her balance, but thankfully, Yoel, who was standing behind her, quickly stepped in to support her, averting a potential mishap.
Understanding that her enthusiasm had caused a disruption, Luna. lowered her head and sincerely apologized to Cynthia. “Mom, I’m sorry…”
“It’s all right.” Cynthia patted Luna’s head and shifted her gaze to Lukas, who was right behind her. “What were you looking at just now?”
Lukas turned the notebook around and said in a childish voice, “I investigated all the kindergartens you recommended to me before and finally selected the most suitable one.”
Upon hearing this, Yoel couldn’t help but laugh. He scooped up Lukas in his arms, causing him to let out a surprised yelp, and then lifted him high.
Lukas laughed heartily while begging for mercy, and the two of them. playfully tussled together.
“Why worry so much at such a young age? Your mom will definitely

Lukas immediately lowered his head and agreed with him.
Upon seeing the situation, Cynthia quickly said, “Of course, since you’ve already made a choice, that’s even better. Thank you for lightening my workload.”
She glanced at the kindergarten Lukas had marked, and it was indeed excellent in every aspect. She simply nodded and said, “Since you like it, let’s choose this one.”
Lukas smiled and replied, “Luna and I promise to study hard.”
Cynthia quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, she didn’t notice the careful consideration Lukas had put into choosing the location of the kindergarten. Lukas, on the other hand, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Colton returned to the villa and invited Susan, his former housekeeper over. He asked her earnestly, “Has Mrs. Zeller done anything for me over the years that I’m not aware of?”
Susan was taken aback, not expecting that Colton would go through the trouble to invite her over just to ask these questions.
Although puzzled, Susan still spoke fairly and honestly about all the things she had learned about Cynthia over the years.
“When Mrs. Zeller was still here, she would personally organize the recipes every day and prepare a cup of coffee for you. Not only that, but she also took great care in overseeing your daily diet, clothing, and outings. Vehicle safety was of utmost importance to her, and she would personally inspect the vehicle with the driver to ensure everything was in

“That’s enough.”
Colton cut Susan off as his face darkened..
Susan hesitated before speaking up. “But there’s still so much left unsaid…”
She had been a witness to Cynthia’s tireless efforts and Colton’s indifference during the three years she had worked for them. Finally given the chance, she had hoped to express her thoughts and make Colton understand what he had missed out on.
However, as Susan continued speaking, it became evident that Colton had lost interest in hearing more.
Timothy could only gesture for Susan to leave.
In truth, ever since the divorce, Colton had rarely set foot in the villa. The memories of their three–year shared life were too painful, and the lingering traces of Cynthia’s presence only served as constant reminders of what had been lost.
Colton had always thought that his aversion was due to his dislike for Cynthia. However, it seemed more like he was unwilling to be reminded. of her at this point.
After all, she was the only one who had disrupted the orderly trajectory of his life, an existence he couldn’t control.
He despised this feeling.
“Let’s go,” Colton gave the villa a look and said to Timothy.

Timothy nodded in agreement, then heard Colton bring up a different. topic. “I recall Yoel used to enjoy frequenting nightclubs and had a multitude of ex–girlfriends, am I correct in remembering that?”
“Yes, there have been such rumors,” he replied cautiously.
Colton sneered. “That’s perfect. Assist him in searching for any hidden treasures from the vast sea that might have ended up in the possession of ordinary individuals. And if there aren’t any, track down his ex–girlfriends and ensure they reconnect with him, reminiscing about the past.”
