Chapter 676 After nearly an hour of playing in the snow, Gabriel and Amelie finally returned to their chamber with Noah. They were laughing and breathless, their clothes dusted with white flakes. Along the way, they had built a crooked little snowman and taken several pictures with Noah, who had

Chapter 674 “Good morning, Mom,” Amelie began with a warm greeting, adjusting the phone against her ear. Ashna quietly left, realizing Amelie needed privacy. “Good morning, dear.

Your wife is expecting a pup,” he announced. “What?” The word left both Casaio and Zilia in a stunned, simultaneous breath. “Yes, Princess Zilia is pregnant. It’s been
Chapter 672 “You don’t have to wash the dishes,” Aisha said, stepping firmly between Karmen and the sink. “I’ve already prepared the guest room for you. Go and get some rest.” She didn’t wait for an answer, gently peeling the rubber gloves from his hands and pulling them onto her
Chapter 671 At first, Jeniva considered weaving another lie, but the liquor made her tell the truth. “Yes,” she whispered, her gaze dropping to her boots. “I know p> “When did you find out?” Dominick’s voice was a defensive reflex. He didn’t wait for her to answer, waving a gloved
Chapter 670 “We have been looking for you,” Evan said. He looked at the fresh hot chocolate buns and bought two, one for him and one for Dominick. “Here, for you,” Evan said. Jeniva finally managed to swallow the last of her bun, her hand fluttering to her chest as
Chapter 669 Dominick inaugurated the festival by lighting the scared lamp in the moon temple. The people gathered in the temple and even outside began singing the prayer they dedicated to the Moon Goddess. He kept his hands joined in a respectful gesture until the final note faded, thus officially
Chapter 668 Amelie, Gabriel and Noah went into the balcony of their chamber, witnessing the first snowfall.

Chapter 667 Karmen handed the hot mug of coffee to Aisha. “Thanks.” She brought the mug to her mouth and took a slow sip. She lifted her gaze and found him focused on his phone, his thumb moving rapidly as he typed out messages. “You should head home. Your parents
Chapter 666 Karmen made sure the man and his minions were securely in police custody before driving Aisha to her apartment. The silence in the car was heavy, broken only by the swish of the windshield wipers against the snow. He walked her all the way to her door, and
Chapter 665 “Kate, where had you disappeared to?” Amelie asked the moment she spotted her. She walked further into the chamber to find Katelyn sitting on the rug, distracted by Noah, while Gabriel was nowhere to be seen. “Amelie!” Katelyn lifted her gaze, a radiant, slightly sheepish glow on her
Chapter 664 Gabriel and Amelie stood by the terminal entrance as Carlos prepared to depart. Noah, perched in from the stroller, watched the bustling airport crowd with wide, curious eyes.

Chapter 663 “Ian, I’m taking a break for a week,” Casaio informed his advisor, looking over the final stack of documents on his desk. “The reason is simple: I haven’t spent nearly enough time with Zilia since we married. I have been buried in my responsibilities, and now that Christmas
Chapter 662 Amelie woke up late in the evening. What she had intended as a brief nap had turned into hours of sleep; the exhaustion of the previous day had claimed her body entirely. Shifting slightly, her eyes landed on Noah and Gabriel, still peacefully asleep. The sight of her
Chapter 661 Zander stepped quietly into the room, the soft glow of the sunlight illuminating Flora as she rested. He moved to her side, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from her forehead. At his touch, Flora’s eyelids flickered, and she
