Country F.
Elara Don returned to Helen’s apartnt after work, only to see soone sitting on the sofa.
"Huh, Helen, why are you back?"
Elara Don was surprised and walked over with a smile.
"So surprised? Charlotte, did you forget, this is my house. Do I need to ask why when I return to my own ho?"
Helen put down her phone and playfully scolded.
Elara Don chuckled, "Aren’t you supposed to be introducing your future husband to seven aunts today? Don’t you need to accompany your lover?"
"Oh, accompanying him every day is exhausting, so I gave him a day off."
Helen giggled, looking at Elara Don, "Besides, aren’t you lonely? So, I’m back to keep you company."
This woman speaks so bluntly.
Elara Don couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
"So, how are things with him? Already talking about marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Helen got up to pour herself a glass of water.
"Are we in sync? Well, in that aspect, very much so. But talking about marriage is a bit early. Soone’s already been humiliated once. Forcing him to marry right away might push him to break the pot completely, and then we’d suffer losses."
True enough.
Elara Don raised an eyebrow, "So, your decision now is to have a slow and steady relationship with him?"
"Yep, I want him to fall for , to the point he won’t marry anyone but ."
Helen took a sip of water, looking determined to win.
"Good luck."
Elara Don mimicked a cheering gesture.
At this mont, her phone had a video call request.
It must be from the two sons.
Elara Don smiled as she took out her phone and pressed the answer button.
"Charlie, Bea."
"Mommy."
Elara Don greeted the two little ones, looking at their cute, chubby faces, wishing she could fly back imdiately to hug and kiss them.
"Hello, little cuties."
Helen leaned over to greet the two little ones.
"Hello Aunt Helen," the two brothers said in unison.
"I said call sister! In the future, I might really beco your sister."
Helen raised her eyebrows with a playful smile.
"Aunt Helen, you’re trying to act young again. You want my brother and I to call you sister? Okay, you call my mommy Aunt first."
Bea pouted and responded.
Helen snorted softly, wrapping her arm around Elara Don’s shoulder, "Wrong, I can’t call your mommy Aunt, I have to call her... Little Aunt."
The two little ones: "..."
"Why would you call my mommy Little Aunt?"
Dominic Hawke asked, puzzled.
"Because I want to marry your brother Cole Hawke."
Helen replied with a confident smile.
The two little ones exchanged a look, a bit unbelieving.
At this mont, Damon Hawke’s handso face appeared on the screen.
He squinted his dark eyes at Helen, "Elly, so when you said Arthur had soone he fancied, you ant Helen?"
"Aha, yes, the one Arthur fancies is Helen."
Thinking of Cole Hawke and Helen, Elara Don couldn’t help but laugh.
Damon Hawke seed puzzled by her laughter, "Is it that funny?"
"It is! Damon, I’ll tell you when I get back how Helen beca Arthur’s object of affection."
Elara Don glanced at Helen, her smile bright.
Helen gave her a sidelong look, "What kind of laugh is that? Gloating, are we? Don’t forget who I’m doing this for."
"Yes, yes, you’re doing it for , I love you to death."
"Don’t say you love ! Can’t you sll how much jealousy is coming through the screen, I don’t want to be choked to death."
"Haha, you’re hardly lacking love now, with you being such a dominator."
"Charlotte, are you asking for a beating?"
"..."
As they laughed and chatted, Damon Hawke looked at Elara Don who was all cheerful, and his mood lifted too.
After the video call ended, he looked at his two sons.
"Do you two want to visit Mommy?"
The two little ones looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Yes!"
"Alright, this Saturday, I’ll take you to see her. Don’t tell her yet, let’s give her a surprise."
He missed her, wanted to hug her and kiss her!
"Okay, Daddy."
"Great, I can go back to Country F!"
"..."
Five-star hotel.
Cole Hawke looked at a docunt at hand, his fingers slightly clenched, a hint of anger in his eyes.
It was a paternity test report of Damon Hawke and Vinny Hawke.
Elara Don doing this to him, he really wanted to send out this report and let Damon’s true identity be known to the world.
But now he held evidence against her. If he revealed this secret, it would an completely tearing things apart with her.
Even at this point, he still cared about her attitude towards him!
Oh Cole Hawke, are you heartless?
She’s trampled on your pride, and yet you haven’t thought of retaliating?
All he felt inside was disappointnt and sadness.
Disappointed at how she treated him.
Sad that she never liked him!
Cole’s mind was in turmoil, and he crumpled the docunt in his hands, intending to throw it into the trash can.
But on second thought, he smoothed out the paper and placed it in his suitcase.
He would keep this evidence.
You never know when it might co in handy.
The phone next to him rang, and Cole glanced at it; it was his assistant calling.
He still had business to attend to here.
He wanted to drop everything, but a sense of responsibility made him suppress all his discomfort despite his frustration.
As a man, shouldn’t you focus on your career if you have no love?
Cole listened as the assistant reported a few business matters, then hung up the phone, adjusted his attire, and left the room.
He was going to et a client.
In a building opposite, a man put down a pair of binoculars and drew the curtain.
Withdrawing his phone, he made a call.
"Report to the boss, Cole Hawke just left the hotel. I saw him examining a docunt, he seed quite upset."
The person on the other end was silent for a mont, "Now think of a way to get into his room and see if you find anything."
"Yes, boss."
The man hung up the phone, thought for a mont, and left the room wearing a cap.
On the other end, David Taylor looked at his phone, smiling slightly.
Gabriel Miles had instructed him to investigate Cole Hawke, so he hired a private detective online, splurging to have them keep an eye on Cole in Country F.
Hopefully, there would be so gains.
Inside the hotel, the man disguised as a cleaner pushed a cleaning cart to Cole Hawke’s floor.
He looked around, took out a stolen room card, and opened the door to Cole Hawke’s room.
Once inside, relying on his mory, he quickly opened Cole’s suitcase and rifled through it.
Soon, he discovered the genetic testing report of Damon Hawke and Vinny.
He promptly took photos of the docunt and then closed the suitcase.
Next, he looked around a bit more. When he saw Cole’s unattended laptop, he wanted to take a look.
Then ca the sound of the door lock turning.
The man was startled, hurriedly closed the laptop, quickly put things back in place, and pretended to clean the room.
Cole Hawke entered, his gaze sharp as he looked at the man.
"I don’t recall requesting housekeeping service."
