His last sentence was clearly mocking Emma, but the blissful smile on his lips was unmistakable.

“After a while, I searched all the islands in Cranur before realizing it was basically impossible to find you.

I returned home in a daze to see Emma playing with Audrey in the living room. The scene blew my mind.

Immediately, I wanted to marry her and live a normal life with her. We shall form a family together.”

As John explained everything, the grin on his face widened. Clearly, he had a blissful life.

My lips curved up upon imagining that sight. “So you confessed your feelings to her right then?” I teased.

Confessing one’s feelings, acceptance, and falling in love with each other might be a cheesy route, but

as long as the ending was good, one should still look forward to it.

Hearing my question, John flashed an evil smirk and said nothing.

Huh. How strange.

“Did you bully Emma?” I pressed on.

“Bully her? Of course not. I won’t do that.” John dismissed my question with a wave, the smile on his lips

unwavering. “Well, I used an unusual solution. Uncle Louis taught us that special circumstances require

special measures, right?”

Speaking of Louis, he seemed energetic when we talked through a video call back in the hotel. “I thought

Uncle Louis is going to battle against Ezra and the rest? Why did he go to M Country, too?”

The Stovall family treated me as their own, but Louis was a righteous man. He knew Ezra and his gang

were behaving tyrannically, so he wouldn’t retire and spend the rest of his life overseas.

“Ezra Grant is history.”

John leaned back into the couch and tapped on the handle nonchalantly.

“A successful person is likely to be targeted. To get to a higher position, Ezra resorted to dirty tricks. He

tried to increase his influence and attack his rival. Yes, he did succeed, but he also attracted the attention

of internal affairs. A new broom sweeps clean, so there is bound to be someone new who dares to

challenges the authority. After being summoned for an investigation, Ezra never came back.” He was a

person of authority, yet he disappeared without a trace. It proved that the situation was too widespread.

The only solution was to erase every trace.

Ezra’s disappearance signified the end of an era.

That was a satisfying ending.

John wasn’t interested in irrelevant people. He glanced at the kitchen and narrowed his voice. “How long

are you going to stay in K City? My men are ready to kidnap him anytime.”

I couldn’t believe he took my words seriously.

Immediately, I burst out laughing, causing John to crinkle his nose up in disgust. We both glanced at the

kitchen at the same time and saw Ashton shooting us surreptitious glances.

I calmed down and patted John’s shoulder. “Tell them to be on standby.”

Standing up, I headed to the stairs. “I’ll go take a shower. Holler me when dinner’s ready.”

When I went for a follow-up checkup, the doctor said I’ve recovered. However, I was sweating profusely

after spending two hours outdoors. It was terribly uncomfortable.

Thinking it was the medicine’s side effects, I ignored it and filled the tub with hot water. When it was full, I

entered it and closed my eyes.

I finally found myself after regaining consciousness. It was a difficult but needed journey.

Back then, when I opened my eyes, I saw Marcus who had gone missing for a long time. Everyone else

thought we were a couple engaged to be married.

I knew how obsessed Marcus was with me. He wouldn’t hurt me, but he could harm a newborn baby just

to separate me and Ashton. Hence, I couldn’t reveal everything to him honestly.
