Blaze Fairchild walked out of Concordia dical Hall with Luna Axton, open and unconcealed.
Not a single mber of the press, who had retreated behind the line outside Concordia dical Hall, dared to turn on their caras.
If they had known Luna Axton’s backer was the president of Evergrow Group, they wouldn’t have dared co here to livestream even if they had ten tis the nerve.
How was this any different from shoving a cara in Blaze Fairchild’s face and hitting record?
Kyle Joyce stood by the car, very pleased with the scene.
Luna Axton followed beside Blaze Fairchild, her cold gaze sweeping over the people who remained.
There weren’t many, but they were surely the most persistent ones, the ones who refused to give up, waiting stubbornly in the cold wind and snow.
Their goal was simple: to see when she got off work and what car she took. If possible, they’d even tail her for a bit to get more attention online.
Seeing them all huddled together for warmth like penguins with their heads down, Luna Axton felt a secret thrill.
’So, you’ve all seen now. How co none of you dare to take a picture?’
She desperately wanted to gloat. ’Co on, take my picture!’
But Luna Axton knew they were only behaving now because Blaze Fairchild had his ways of making them behave.
The mont they got a chance to retaliate against her and Blaze Fairchild, they would be the ones to trample on them the most viciously.
So, she did nothing. Staring straight ahead, she got into the car and left.
Fairchild Estate was shrouded in the night.
Jenna Axton sat before the fireplace, the flas dancing across her smooth face.
Light snow began to fall outside the window. The only sound in the room was the crackling of the fire, and everything was tranquil.
It was a perfect setting for reminiscing alone.
A hand with wine-red nail polish gently covered her mouth as Jenna Axton sobbed uncontrollably.
Through her tear-blurred vision, she heard her Second Brother’s voice.
"Ti will provide the answers. I suggest everyone focus on the case itself and wait for the official announcent."
His voice hadn’t changed at all—steady and gentle, it had a reassuring quality.
That afternoon, Luna had ntioned that with the Spring Festival approaching, they should get their nails done together.
Only then did she find out what had happened to Luna over the past couple of days.
Luna and the Frost Family were ultimately bound by fate; she couldn’t interfere with Luna’s contact with them.
Otherwise, with Luna’s cleverness, she would definitely notice sothing was amiss.
Only after everyone else had left did she dare to open her phone and go online, alone by the fire.
’Second Brother is still so handso.’ He was wearing a long trench coat, looking dashing and refined.
No matter how many years had passed, seeing his face again still made her heart flutter with the secret joy of a young girl.
Falling in love with her own brother was an unethical thing to do.
They weren’t related by blood, but everyone in the Frost Family had truly treated her like their own daughter and sister.
Second Brother had broken free from their father’s constraints and worked so hard to beco a diplomat; there couldn’t be a single point of controversy attached to him.
The fact that she had fallen in love with Second Brother, and had a daughter with him, was sothing that could never be known by anyone.
’It’s just...’
Her hand gently caressed the handso face on the screen. ’His coat is so crisp, and he looks so neat. His wife must be taking care of him.’
It was only natural for Second Brother to get married.
But her heart... it still ached uncontrollably, and a sour sting rushed to her nose again and again.
Compared to the quiet of Crimson Hall, Lakeside Manor was much livelier.
Luna Axton, hugging a throw pillow, was drowsing off while Blaze Fairchild lay on the bed, reading a bedti story to her belly.
"The little bear served the guests so delicious lemonade..."
Blaze Fairchild paused, his hand hovering over the page as a scene flashed through his mind.
He had seen it that afternoon when he was standing at the door: the water Luna Axton was drinking was different from what the other four people had. And Ethan had been standing next to Luna at the ti.
Ethan Frost had the lowest status in the Frost Family; he was the one who served the whole family.
In high school, he was even doxxed online after buying sanitary pads for his mother, May Ford, with netizens speculating that he had a girlfriend.
So, there was no need to ask who had prepared that special cup of water. It was obviously Ethan Frost.
Blaze Fairchild’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Luna Axton, whose eyelids were drooping. "Luna."
"Hm?" Luna Axton was half-asleep and groggy.
"What do you think of Ethan?"
"Ethan...?"
Her voice was husky with sleep, soft and gentle, brushing against the tip of Blaze Fairchild’s heart like a feather.
But the subject of her words was Ethan Frost.
Blaze Fairchild’s expression darkened, and that fleeting flutter in his heart turned sour.
"He’s a great guy. ticulous, thoughtful, and very good at taking care of people."
Luna Axton herself didn’t even know what she was saying.
Suddenly, sothing soft pressed against her lips.
The sensation was so strong that all of Luna Axton’s sleepiness vanished, and her eyes flew open.
Blaze Fairchild’s handso face was right in front of her, his dark eyes deep and intense.
THUMP, THUMP-THUMP...
Luna Axton could hear her own heart, beating faster and faster.
’Weren’t you just reading a story? Why are you kissing now?’
Blaze Fairchild’s kiss was domineering and passionate. She opened her mouth to speak, but he took the opportunity to deepen it.
He skillfully controlled the rhythm, and Luna Axton’s clumsy attempts to pull away only inflad his possessiveness.
She felt like a little white rabbit that had co out to forage, only to be targeted by the big bad wolf, Blaze Fairchild...
Just as the little white rabbit was about to be devoured completely by the big bad wolf, a soft, irrepressible moan escaped her lips.
"Mmmh~"
The big bad wolf, his eyes red, sat back in his original spot.
His chest heaved violently, his panting gradually subsiding in the quiet room.
Luna Axton pressed her lips together, afraid that if she even glanced at him, she would be pounced on the very next second.
"Do you know what you just said?" Blaze Fairchild’s voice was low.
Luna Axton peeked at him cautiously. ’Is he angry?’
She shook her head.
’How would I know what I said? I was sleeping soundly and suddenly got kissed.’
As she remained silent, Blaze Fairchild glared at her, his anger still simring, and felt an unexpected sense of defeat.
’I want her to be free and be herself, but the world outside is too dangerous.’
After a mont of contemplation, Blaze Fairchild relented. "Let’s go to sleep. I won’t go to the office tomorrow, and you can stay ho, okay?"
"Okay."
’His mother already said as much today. I should just stay ho obediently.’
The two of them tidied up a bit, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
「The next day.」
Luna Axton was bored at ho, so she went to Crimson Hall to hang out. Blaze Fairchild had nothing pressing to do, so he went to Pinehurst Estate.
Lindsey was busy with her short-form drama and hadn’t taken a break.
However, Lindsey said that Ms. Brooks and Mr. Coleman were both coming to Valoria for the Spring Festival this year.
Partly to celebrate the festival with Lindsey, and partly to look at houses together.
When the ti cos, the two families could get together again.
Blaze Fairchild had forbidden her from going online, so she was completely unaware of what was happening on the internet.
Less than six hours after Eliana Yates was taken away, Miles Jacobs personally handed Kai over to the police station.
No matter how unwilling Kai was, without his parents, he was nothing and could do nothing.
Miles Jacobs said, "Son, when you do sothing wrong, you have to accept the punishnt."
Rosalind Fairchild promised, "Mommy will definitely not let them get away with this."
Kai knew exactly who "they" were.
The day before her al with the Frost Family, the police issued a statent online: Eliana Yates was sentenced to two years in prison.
The statent explicitly pointed out that Eliana Yates’s "study-whiz" image was just a persona. Her grades were at the bottom of her departnt, she had failed a course in her freshman year, she still hadn’t passed the CET-4 English exam, and she had admitted to cheating on her final exams.
In an instant, public opinion split into two extres.
So fans furiously cursed out Eliana Yates.
Others said that Luna Axton really knew how to pick a backer, and that she was a great bootlicker for an old man.
As for Kai, his cris were serious. However, because he confessed voluntarily and rendered ritorious service by making outstanding contributions to an anti-vice and drug cleanup operation, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
On the day the announcent was made, Luna Axton was finally "released" by Blaze Fairchild.
She responded one by one to the videos and speculative comnts that Eliana Yates had made in her livestream.
On her marriage certificate, everything was censored except for her own information.
Blaze Fairchild held up the phone, cornering Luna Axton on the sofa. "Am I that embarrassing?"
