Ryan didn’t react but continued to say,” Mr. Shawn was in power at that time and I was nowhere. I wasn’t able to revolt back and ended up agreeing to what he asked me to do and that was to go and study abroad.” Ryan didn’t hide.

Knowing that Charles has the ability to know everything about him, Ryan wasn’t interested in concealing the few important facts.

That would go against his rules.

Meanwhile, Charles stared at Ryan’s reflection. He brought his hand to pat Ryan’s shoulders before muttering, “I’m sorry for what you must have gone through when that old man forced you to leave.”

On hearing this, Ryan didn’t show his expression. He kept them secret in the dark corner of his heart. At last, Ryan simply lowered his head with a bit of acknowledgment to take his leave.

However, when Ryan turned around to leave, he heard Charles’s words which sounded like a hint.

.....

“But despite the bad times, don’t let your love fade away. If at that moment, you were not that powerful, that doesn’t mean now you can’t be one. Giving up on Amaira is your wish.”

“But if one day you come to me and say that you want to be with her, I will not reject you.”

His words were clear. Charles kept his eyes focused on his rigid back of Ryan. He could imagine how shocked Ryan must be, but he didn’t view his face.

As expected, Ryan didn’t stop to face Charles anymore. He took his leave with his words registered in his mind.

In fact, they left an impact on his heart, digging into the old wound once again.

‘But..am I willing to be with her again?’

....

In the morning, Charles got up to the phone ringing. He was still very much in slumber but still picked up the phone that was kept at the bedside table.

“Yes?” His slumbered voice brought a scoff from the man on the other side. “I wasn’t expecting Mr. Charles to not get up at this hour?”

The voice was sufficient to bring Charles out from his daze. He jolted back at his position to rub his eyes. ‘Why is he calling me this early?’ This was the first thought that ran through his brain.

But holding all the urges backward, Charles got up from the pillow to answer ahead.

“Jack, if you have something, tell me.” Jack kept silent for a while on the other side. But he did answer, “Sierra and I are getting divorced today.”

THUD!

THUD!

The words felt like a storm on his head. For a while, he wasn’t able to absorb the information directly in his brain.

But on the second note, he did restore calm to regain his conscience about the situation.

“You and Sierra...are getting divorced today?” he asked again and received a positive answer. “We are. I think you should arrive at the given address within one hour if you really wish to correct the mistake that your father committed.”

“B-Bu”

Jack left no stone unturned to give him any chance. Charles stared at his phone and found no reason to refute. “Correct My father’s mistake....” The words hit his heart like a knife.

Recollecting how Jack narrated the entire tale of his father forcing her to walk out of this relationship, left him stunned. In this life, he had no expectation burning in his brain for Sierra to arrive back in his life.

Since the day he heard about her wedding, his heart gave up...but he didn’t stop loving her. “I will get you back this time..surely Sierra...”

Charles gripped his phone tightly before he swept the blanket to the other side to walk out and rush to get ready.

Today, he will meet his family. His daughter and son as officially....

Within one hour exactly, Charles was inside his car, standing near the address that Jack texted him. He was asked to be seated inside his car while his eyes were awaiting the presence of a few people to step out of the building.

While Charles resisted the temptation to have a cigarette, his anxiety was at the edge of killing him. ‘When are they going to come now?’

Charles was waiting and suddenly, he saw the two people coming out of the building. Sierra was holding a white clutch which she paired with a long blue one-piece. It described her curves to his naked eyes very well.

Moreover, there was a decent smile on her face when she sweetly conversed with Jack. It burned his eyes slightly. Charles tried to resist the urge to smash the man’s face but it took a lot of self-control!

But just then he saw the bodyguard bringing the children to them. Jack and Sierra hugged Noah and Ailey respectively while putting a soft kiss on their cheek.

At this sight, Charles felt a tug inside his heart. He can’t narrate the reason but it brought an undefined sensation of jealousy. Hate...love.. everything got entangled which made it extremely difficult for him to take this situation.

Sitting inside his car, his eyebrows turned thick. His lips were pressed into a straight line as he waited for the right time.

For the next few minutes, there was no instruction. But within the next one minute, his phone lit up to see a message from Jack which asked him to come and meet everyone.

A nervous sigh escaped from his lips. Gathering all courage, Charles stepped out of the car to take baby steps toward the family of four.

He could feel the hair behind his back rising up. The smile on the children’s faces was brighter than the sun. It could light up the entire world...

His slow and gradual steps pulled him closer to the family. He saw how lovingly Noah was in his father’s arms and Ailey stood on the ground.

However, he pulled Ailey’s attention the moment he appeared. Ailey had turned her face to look at him as the smile on her face dimmed.

She kept eye contact with Charles, similarly to how Charles found it irresistible to draw his gaze from the little girl.

She was intoxicating to his heart despite not being blood-related.

And then, the head of the Johnson family felt his heart ready to pour out of his mouth the moment Ailey took a few steps in his direction.

She didn’t tear her eyes from Charles even for a minute second, as if she was waiting to confront him.. She approached him with her cautious nature, but still held her chin high.

After a long gap, Ailey opened her mouth to look innocently at the man opposite her.

“Are you my father?”
