Chapter 716
The following months settled into a quiet routine.Logan visited his son whenever his schedule permitted.If work prevented him from coming in person, he made time for a video call. Though the little boy was still too young to understand much, he had already begun recognizing Logan's face and voice. Every time the screen lit up with his father's image, the child would clap his tiny hands excitedly.That simple reaction always brought a smile to Logan's face.Meanwhile, Charlotte remained in Dalton, busy expanding Elysian Bloom into neighboring cities. The company was growing faster than she had imagined, and her days were filled with meetings, product launches, and negotiations. She and Logan spoke every evening, encouraging one another despite living apart for work.Neither of them imagined that another storm was quietly approaching.One afternoon, Logan was leaving a government conference when his phone rang.It was Elowen.He answered immediately."Hello.""Logan..."Her voice soun

Several months passed peacefully.The arrangement Logan had proposed remained exactly as it was.Whenever there was a medical appointment, Elowen informed him.Whenever their son needed anything, Logan made sure it was provided immediately.He never delayed.He never ignored a message concerning the child.However, outside matters relating to their son, there was almost no communication between them.Gradually, Elowen realized that Logan had truly meant every word he had spoken that day in the restaurant.He was a responsible father.But nothing more....One bright Saturday morning, Logan arrived at Elowen's residence for another scheduled visit.The security personnel opened the gates immediately after recognizing his vehicle.Inside the mansion, Elowen had already dressed their son neatly in a blue outfit.The little boy had grown remarkably within the past few months.He could now crawl across the sitting room at surprising speed and had begun attempting to stand with support.The

Elowen remained standing at the entrance long after Logan's vehicle had disappeared beyond the gates.The baby slept peacefully in her arms, unaware of the storm raging within his mother.Mrs. Beatrice approached quietly."Miss Elowen, you'll catch a cold standing out here."Elowen slowly turned around and walked back into the house without saying a word.She handed the baby to the nanny before making her way to the study.Closing the door behind her, she sank into the leather chair and stared blankly at the ceiling.Everything had gone wrong.She had spent hours preparing for Logan's visit.She had imagined that seeing their son would soften his heart.She thought perhaps he would stay longer.Perhaps he would ask about her.Perhaps he would see them together and realize they could still become a family.Instead, Logan had done exactly what he promised months earlier.He had come for the child.Only the child.Whenever she tried to steer the conversation toward herself, Logan gently
Chapter 713
A week passed after Logan returned from seeing Elowen.Outwardly, everything appeared normal.He resumed handling official matters, attended meetings, and kept in close contact with Charlotte, who was still in Dalton while overseeing matters related to Elysian Bloom. Their conversations were warm as always, and Logan deliberately chose not to burden her further. He believed she had already carried enough emotional weight from hearing about the existence of the child.Meanwhile, Elowen spent her days in her luxurious villa, taking care of her newborn son.Every time she looked at the little boy, she became even more determined.She had informed Logan that the child had been born, yet that was all. Logan had not come to see the baby. Neither had he asked to spend time with him.Instead, he had simply arranged for the child's expenses to be fully covered. A trust fund was established in the baby's name, the best pediatrician in the city was assigned to monitor his health, and every finan
Chapter 712
The house had become completely silent again.Jean stood alone in the downstairs hallway, every muscle in his body tense. His eyes remained fixed on the staircase as he listened to the faint footsteps of his associate making his way back toward the upper floor.He glanced at the clock.A few minutes past midnight.Everything depended on what happened next.Upstairs, the man reached Clara's bedroom door once more.He paused outside, listening carefully.No voices.No movement.Only silence.He slipped the master key into the lock.With practiced care, he turned it until the latch released.The door opened only a fraction before he eased himself inside and quietly closed it behind him.The room was dimly lit by moonlight filtering through the curtains.Charlotte slept peacefully on the guest bed.Clara remained asleep in her own bed nearby.The man looked from one bed to the other before reaching into the pocket of his jacket.He removed a small canister.After glancing around the room

Jean remained in the hallway for several moments after looking through the small viewing panel.The bedroom was quiet.Moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting pale streaks across the floor. Charlotte and Clara both appeared to be asleep, their steady breathing the only sign of life inside the room.Jean slowly stepped away from the door and his expression hardened.For a brief instant, he closed his eyes.He remembered the assignment that had been given to him months earlier.He remembered the countless meetings with the gang.He remembered the promises he had made over the phone only minutes ago.His jaw tightened."This has to end tonight," he whispered to himself.He quietly walked farther down the hallway until he reached the small study at the end of the house.Closing the door behind him as softly as possible, he reached for his phone.After hesitating for only a second, he dialed a familiar number.The call connected almost immediately.A man's sleepy voice answered."
