This was surprising. Brian’s words stung a little. Calvin could have just left this place, but he remembered his father’s will—the final wish he wanted to fulfill.And as for Claire… The woman had even agreed to it.Calvin’s expression grew colder. He looked at Brian seriously, suppressing his anger before speaking. "This completely goes against the agreement made between the Jones and Moonstone families.""Just as my father upheld his end of the bargain, shouldn't you also honor your promise regarding this marriage?" Calvin reminded him. He knew that only this marriage could bring peace to his father’s soul.Brian burst into laughter at Calvin’s words, but soon, his gaze turned sharp. "Your father is already dead. You have no right to bring up that matter.""The agreement died along with your father." Brian emphasized firmly.As he looked at Calvin, he had already made up his mind—he did not want a mere ordinary man as his son-in-law.Previously, he had no objections to the arranged

"How dare you! How dare you lay a hand on me!" Bobby's anger flared.His sharp eyes darted toward Calvin’s grip on his wrist. Just being touched by this man felt like an insult.Their gazes clashed for a brief moment. Bobby had to admit—Calvin exuded an unsettling confidence. But just because he was in the military didn’t mean Bobby would be intimidated. He was certain Calvin’s strength was nothing extraordinary. Defeating him shouldn’t be difficult."You’ll pay dearly for this." Bobby gritted his teeth, trying to yank his wrist free.But then, his eyes widened in shock. Something was wrong. Despite using all his strength, Calvin’s grip didn’t budge—not even slightly. Instead, it felt as though his hand was completely locked in place."How…? Why is he so much stronger than me?" Bobby’s mind raced as he struggled.His breathing quickened, his disbelief growing as he stared at Calvin. He had severely underestimated him. Calvin’s strength was far beyond what he had expected."You were th

Claire’s gaze swept across the entire house, taking in every corner. She couldn't believe this place truly belonged to the Moonstone family. Her family had always insisted that the Moonstones had been completely destroyed. She had expected Calvin to bring her to a modest home, but this… this was even more luxurious than the Jones family estate.As her eyes wandered, she suddenly winced. “Ahh, that hurts…” Claire quickly pulled her hand back.Calvin looked at her, realizing he should have been more careful. “I’ll be gentler,” he reassured her. He slowly took her hand again, carefully wrapping a small bandage around it before finishing his work.Claire watched Calvin in admiration. After five years, this was their first time meeting again. And she hadn’t expected to grow so close to him so quickly. Unfortunately, her family refused to accept it.“Thank you, Calvin,” she said softly.Calvin met her gaze and shook his head. “I should be the one thanking you.” He tidied up the medical supp

Lea remembered everything she had done to secure this job. It was a good career—this store was known for its high salary and generous bonuses.If she got fired because of this incident, it would have a huge impact on her life. And from the way Calvin spoke, she could tell his threat was dead serious.It terrified her.Lea didn’t want to lose her job or create more trouble. She quickly clasped her hands together. “P-please, sir… forgive me,” she stammered.Her body trembled, and she shook her head, eyes pleading. “Please, don’t do this. Don’t tell my manager.”She couldn’t hold back her tears. Seeing no reaction from Calvin, Lea's gaze shifted to Claire, hoping for some mercy—hoping the woman would listen to her.“Please… I don’t want to be fired.”This time, she clasped her hands together even tighter, her face full of desperation.“Miss, please forgive me.” Lea clung to hope. If she lost this job, her life would fall apart.But when she realized her pleas were ignored, a surge of fru

They had just arrived. Calvin unloaded all the shopping bags and placed them on the table.Claire watched closely. There were at least several shopping bags, and all of them contained clothes that Calvin had previously chosen.Claire looked at Calvin. She let out a sigh. “Look, just like I said, you bought me so many clothes.” Claire paused for a moment, taking in all the shopping items. “This is too much. I only need two pieces of clothing. That’s enough for me.”Calvin smiled faintly. He shook his head, disagreeing with Claire’s statement. “You can wear them all.”As he had promised, Calvin would give the best for Claire. In his eyes, even all the clothes he bought seemed like just a little. He could even buy the entire shopping mall if Claire wanted him to.However, there was something that bothered Calvin’s mind. Claire was raised in the Jones family, but she had a different mindset from them. “It’s usual; women would be happy with all of this.”Claire smiled upon hearing Calvin’s
