Darius noticed the curious look on his daughter’s face, but he didn’t answer her question immediately.Instead he raised a hand slightly. “Let him sit first,” he said calmly.Then he turned to Kael. “Come and sit, Kael.”Kael nodded lightly and walked toward the dining table, he pulled out one of the chairs and sat down quietly.Darius then looked toward one of the maids standing nearby.“Quick, serve him.”“Yes, sir.”The maid immediately stepped forward and began arranging the dishes in front of Kael. She placed a plate before him and carefully served portions of the breakfast that had already been prepared.Warm bread, eggs, fruits, and a glass of fresh juice were set neatly on the table.Throughout the moment, the young lady sitting across the table had not taken her eyes off Kael, her gaze remained fixed on him, studying him quietly with curiosity.Elowen’s eyes remained fixed on him, she didn’t even try to hide it, her gaze moved slowly from his face to his posture, studying him

Raymond was about to respond when the door opened, a waitress walked in carrying their drinks on a tray. She placed the glasses and bottle on the table before them respectfully. “Your drinks, sirs.” Then she quietly left the room. Raymond immediately grabbed the bottle and poured himself a glass before taking a long gulp and placed the glass down with irritation. “That’s exactly what pains me,” he said. “The guy she called her man… is actually a broke nobody.” Elijah blinked, “A broke guy?” “Exactly,” Raymond said bitterly. “It wouldn’t even have bothered me this much if he was some rich guy, but this one is literally from the countryside.” Raymond scoffed. “He doesn’t even own a car, the idiot rides a bike.” He poured another drink. “He’s just a student with nothing, from what I could see, she’s the one feeding him, taking care of him and all that nonsense.” Elijah looked genuinely surprised. “And she rejected you for someone like that?” He leaned back slowly. “That’s… un

When Kael heard his name being called, he slowly raised his head and turned, at that moment, his eyes instantly fell on Victor Hale.Hush!”Hl was slightly stunned. “What a coincidence… he’s here to cut his hair too?” he thought, his brows knitting lightly.Victor, who had also been surprised to see Kael there, quickly recovered from the shock, his expression darkened, and his brows furrowed in irritation.He turned to the friend beside him. “I thought you said this place is a top-rated barbershop,” Victor said with clear annoyance in his voice. “Expensive… meant for classy people.”His friend looked confused by the sudden complaint.“Of course it is,” he replied while gesturing slightly around the shop. “Just look at the place. Does it look like some low-class shop to you?”Victor lifted his hand and pointed directly at Kael.“Then what is this low-class dude doing here?”OOPS!”The moment those words came out, several people inside the barbershop instinctively turned to look at Kael

At the same time, at Monarch Dining, a taxi slowly pulled up in front of the restaurant, the vehicle came to a stop near the entrance, and a moment later the door opened.A young lady stepped out, it was Ariana Bellmont. She looked fresh and elegant that morning. Ariana was dressed in a simple but well-fitted outfit that made her natural beauty stand out easily. Her long hair rested neatly over her shoulders, and she carried a small bag across her shoulder as she stepped away from the taxi.Even without expensive jewelry or flashy clothes, Ariana still carried a quiet grace that made people notice her immediately.After paying the driver, she turned and walked toward the restaurant entrance.On normal school days, Ariana only worked part-time at Monarch Dining because of her classes at Valaris Academy, but on days when she didn’t have lectures, she usually came to work full-time so she could earn extra bonuses alongside her regular pay.That was exactly why she had come in early that

Within a few minutes, they arrived at a large open space inside the estate. It looked like a wide park area, mostly empty, with enough room for driving practice.Celeste drove into the space and brought the car to a stop. “This is perfect,” she said. “We’ll do the lessons here.”Kael looked around and nodded. Celeste turned slightly toward him.“Okay,” she said. “Let’s start with the basics.”She pointed toward different parts of the car and began to explain to him. She demonstrated lightly.“And when you want to stop, you use this.”Kael watched and listened attentively.Celeste continued explaining each function step by step, guiding him patiently through everything he needed to understand before he could take the wheel.For the next thirty minutes, Celeste guided him through the basics patiently.She explained each function step by step, making sure he understood before moving on.
