He closed his eyes as he said this. "Sorry San, I didn't mean to push you, but you don't have to answer if you were surprised by my statement earlier," Mark said, which made Sandrina smile a little.Unexpectedly, Sandrina reached out her palm to hold Mark's wrist. She looked deeply into Mark's eyes as their gazes met. "Thank you, Mark." Sandrina smiled softly. "I appreciate your courage," she added.Mark didn't know how to react. He just remained silent while he looked at Sandrina's beautiful face, which was even more mesmerizing in the moonlight."I think I like you too."And in the same second, Mark choked on Sandrina's statement.

Mark exclaimed as he looked at the menu.Sandrina was actually uncertain, she looked back at the menu. "I'm not picky with food. You might want to choose? But in an atmosphere like this, grilled fish or shabu-shabu would be nice, what do you think, Mark?" Sandrina asked, seeking Mark's opinion.Mark took a moment to browse through the diverse menu options and then made a decision. "Sure, let's order grilled fish and shabu-shabu, and non-alcoholic soda to drink," Mark said, making Sandrina nod in agreement."Please order this, sir. What's the total?"

Chapter: 7. Mark and Sandrina Reunion"Mark, wait!" Lisa shouted without feeling embarrassed in front of the people present. She was more embarrassed at the thought of going back to Jake. Lisa realized that there was something she didn't know about Mark after Wildan said that all of Mark's original clothes cost up to four billion."Damn it, Lisa!" Jake, who was very angry at that moment, also chased after Lisa. The others were curious about what would happen. They left the building and saw Mark getting into a luxurious car, a sports car that cost billions. Even among them, only Arsen could afford such a car because Arsen had come from a conglomerate family since he was a child.Jake was stunned, and Lisa, who had been left behind, was upset because Mark had taken Sandrina with him."Is that really Mark's car?" Gilang exclaimed, appearing incredulous."Yes, if he's getting in, it means it's his car," Wildan said in amazement."It seems like he's trying to compete with Arsen," Roy commented from behind them."Lisa," Jake ca

Someone called out to Mark as he arrived, scanning the surroundings.Mark turned to the source of the voice and saw his old friend, Gilang. Mark remembered Gilang as one of the people who had bullied him in the past. Mark gave a slight smile and waited for Gilang to approach."Hi, Gilang. How have you been?" Mark asked, making small talk."I'm good, you can see for yourself how I look tonight. I'm also running my family's business. This is my girlfriend, and we're getting married soon.

Chapter: 5. Mark and His Power"Mark? Am I not seeing things?" Jake, who had been curious, pulled Lisa's hand to approach Mark.Siska, still trying to catch her breath while figuring out how to stop both couples, also observed Lisa and Jake, who seemed to recognize Mark.Dr. Vina halted her examination of Mark due to the interruption. Mark, in turn, decided to stand up so he could face Jake. Mark's handsome face appeared calm as he looked at Jake and Lisa, who were confused."Hi, Jake, we meet again," Mark said, his expression flat.Jake was frustrated because someone had taken his appointment slot for treatment, and it turned out to be Mark. He turned to Dr. Vina. "Doctor, why is this poor guy here?" With an arrogant tone, Jake asked Dr. Vina.Hearing Jake's question, Dr. Vina raised her eyebrows in confusion. Who did Jake refer to as the poor guy? Was it Mark?"I'm sorry, Mr. Jake, who do you mean by the poor guy?" Dr. Vina finally asked."Hahaha, who else but Mark, Doc? Why is the doctor prioritizing him?

Chapter: 83. Stay Beside MeThe problem with routines—was that people only realized how important they were after they changed.And unfortunately for Sean Donovan—his favorite routine in the world was Emily Capricorn.So the moment their teacher walked into class that morning and announced a group assignment—Sean immediately sensed danger.“Today,” the teacher said cheerfully, “we’ll be doing pair activities.”The classroom instantly became noisy with excitement.Meanwhile, Sean calmly opened Emily’s juice box for her as if nothing happened.Until—“The pairs will be randomized.”Sean slowly stopped moving.Emily blinked innocently beside him.“Hm?”The teacher smiled brightly while holding a box filled with names.“We shouldn’t always stay with the same friends, right?”Wrong.Completely wrong.At least according to Sean.Several students looked excited.Sean looked personally betrayed.The teacher began calling names one by one.And then—“Emily Capricorn with Daniel Hart.”Sean’s expression immediately dar

Chapter: 82. Don't Make Her CryA few days after recovering from her fever, Emily finally returned to school.And unsurprisingly—Sean became alive again.The gloomy atmosphere surrounding him for the past few days disappeared almost instantly the moment Emily climbed into Savana’s car that morning.“You look happy,” Savana teased while glancing at her son through the rearview mirror.Sean calmly fixed Emily’s seatbelt.“I was always happy.”“Liar,” Emily suddenly mumbled sleepily beside him.Sean froze.Savana burst into laughter immediately.Emily rubbed her eyes lazily before leaning against the window.“You looked scary when I was sick.”Sean frowned slightly.“Scary?”Emily nodded honestly.“You didn’t smile.”Sean fell silent after hearing that.Because strangely—Emily was right.School without her had felt unbearable.The car soon arrived at school, and as usual, Sean naturally carried both his own bag and Emily’s.At this point, nobody even questioned it anymore.Inside the classroom, Emily was immediately

Chapter: 81. A World Without EmilyFor the first time in weeks—Sean arrived at the Capricorn residence without excitement bubbling inside him.Because something felt wrong.Very wrong.The house was too quiet.Usually, Emily would already be awake by now, standing near the door with sleepy eyes while fixing her messy hair. Sometimes she would still yawn adorably while carrying her oversized backpack.But today—nothing.Sean stood in front of the door while tightly gripping the straps of his school bag.Savana noticed the slight crease between her son’s brows.“Maybe they’re still getting ready,” she said softly.Sean shook his head immediately.“No.”“How do you know?”Sean looked toward the second floor windows silently.“She always comes downstairs after hearing my car.”Before Savana could respond, the front door finally opened.But instead of Emily—it was Sheila.And the moment Sean saw her expression, his chest tightened strangely.“She’s sick,” Sheila said before either of them could ask.Sean froze.“What?”“

Chapter: 80. You Gave Him Yours FirstThe first week of school changed Sean completely.At least, that was what everyone around him thought.Every morning, he woke up earlier than usual.Every morning, he rushed Savana to drive faster.And every single morning—he waited in front of Emily Capricorn’s house like it was the most natural thing in the world.“You’re becoming worse than your father,” Savana muttered one morning as Sean fixed his uniform collar in the car mirror for the fifth time.Sean looked confused. “Is that bad?”Savana immediately fell silent.Because honestly?No.It was terrifyingly sweet.And slightly concerning.When the car stopped in front of the Capricorn residence, Sean quickly got out while carrying an extra lunch bag in his hand.Savana raised an eyebrow. “What’s that?”“Emily doesn’t like vegetables.”“…Excuse me?”Sean looked very serious.“She only eats carrots if they’re cut into stars.”Savana stared at her son in complete disbelief.“How do you even know that?”Sean blinked. “Because Emily

Chapter: 79. Emily Is MineThe morning sky was still painted in pale shades of blue when Savana’s car entered the Capricorn family estate.Sean sat properly in the passenger seat with his small backpack on his lap, his shiny shoes swinging restlessly beneath the seat. His hair was neatly combed, his uniform perfectly ironed, and the expensive watch on his wrist kept flashing every time sunlight slipped through the window.He looked ready for an important business meeting instead of the first day of primary school.“Mum, hurry up,” Sean complained for what felt like the hundredth time.Savana laughed softly while turning the steering wheel. “We literally arrived safely because I drove carefully.”“But Emily might already leave without me.”“She won’t disappear in five minutes.”Sean puffed his cheeks. “What if another boy walks her to class first?”Savana almost choked on her own laughter.“Sean Xavier Donovan,” she muttered in disbelief. “You’re seven.”“And?”“And you sound exactly like your father.”Sean look

Chapter: 78. Uniqueness of Boys
Sean was over seven years old and in the second year of primary school. Meanwhile, Sheila's child, who turned out to be a girl called Emily, had started first grade and would be attending the same school as Sean. Naturally, Sean, who had liked Emily since she was an embryo, was very happy to be at school with Emily Capricorn. "Mum, I want to take Emily to her house!" exclaimed Sean, who was getting ready early in the morning."What? It's very early Sean, Emily must still be asleep." Savana, who had just opened the door to her room because of Sean's buzzing, was surprised to see her son already neatly dressed in his uniform and smelling good. "It's OK Mum, I'll wait for him. Come on Mum, get ready to drive me to Emily's house. If I could only drive, I would definitely pick her up myself," Sean said, causing Savana to shake her head in surprise at her son."All right, just wait. We also need to have breakfast before we go." Savana said before walking back into the room and locking the
