CHAPTER 185. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. A Baby in the Garden"This is what I need, pay attention to me."As if Loan's commanding presence wasn’t enough, his money was also on the line, so Bryson Gray was fully focused on him. He lifted his notepad as a sign that he was listening and nodded.Loan Keller had some very odd requests, but Bryson was just there for his commission. However, two weeks later, they had scoured half the country without finding anything."We’re only left with the major castles, the ones still owned by nobility... but getting into those isn’t easy," Bryson said one night as they shared a drink at the hotel bar."Well, we have to try, no matter what."The real estate agent stayed thoughtful for a moment and then sighed."There’s one possibility, but it’s hoooorrrrrible," he said. "We could go to Brechin Castle and charm Olivia Winston."Loan looked at him as if he had no idea what he was talking about."Olivia Winston, thirty-something, spinster, and loose... anyway, sh
CHAPTER 186. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. We’re stayingThe girl smiled, seeing how happy the baby was."If you want, you can hold him; he likes to be carried all the time, but I can’t," she said, showing her dirt-covered hands."Really?" Loan wasn’t sure if he should, but finally, he took the baby out of the stroller.A shiver ran down Loan’s spine as he lifted him in his arms, as if all the tenderness in the world had gathered in that small body.As he held him, the baby opened his eyes and looked at him with a curious expression. It was the first time Loan felt at peace since he had started this search, as if the baby had opened his eyes to the magic of life."My God... you’re beautiful," he murmured, astonished to see that the baby was looking at him with bright blue eyes.The baby settled into his shoulder, and immediately, Loan felt a deep connection.The girl was speechless, watching them together, as they looked so much alike."It’s incredible..." she whispered, taking off the baby’s
CHAPTER 187. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. We have to stopHe was anxious, nervous, scared. Danna was alive. Thank God, Danna was very much alive, but for some reason, they were calling her Leda!Her official, real name was Danna McKenzie. He knew this because he had seen it on the competition boards, and besides, that was the name on the death certificate that John had found…The certificate! It had to mean something!Who was behind all of this? The old witch who was Danna's mother, or Danna herself? In any case, faking her death was a crime, Loan knew that, so he didn’t dare make any move until he knew exactly what was going on.She didn’t return to the dining room; instead, another girl showed up, and Loan spent the rest of the afternoon tormented, waiting for nightfall.“I have a question. How much staff does it take to keep the castle running?” he asked Olivia.“Just about half a dozen. A chef and two kitchen assistants, a butler, a gardener, and five cleaning and laundry girls,” Olivia
CHAPTER 188. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I can’tLoan felt empty when Danna slipped out of his arms and looked at him with tear-filled eyes.“What are you doing here?” she whispered, wiping her mouth. “We had something casual, but that doesn’t mean I’m willing to be the new lady’s husband’s lover…”Loan shook his head vehemently, laughing and crying at the same time.“Are you crazy? I just got here today, and I only came for you… Danna, I’ve been searching for you for months! Months, since the championship… because when I didn’t see you show up, I nearly went mad, and then…” He stopped to look into her eyes, his own glistening. “Then they told me you had been pregnant… then that you had lost the baby, and finally… God, finally they told me you had died! But I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe it, so I kept looking for you…”Loan didn’t want to think, he just wanted to kiss her once more. He hugged her tightly and kissed her tenderly on the cheek.“I came to find you. I came for you…
CHAPTER 189. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The Biggest SecretLoan stared at her, stunned. She looked tired and frail. She had lost a lot of weight, even though she was already slim. It was clear the past year had been hard on her. He hugged her tightly for a moment and then cupped her face in his hands. "Listen to me, Danna. We're going to get through this. You have to trust me." "But you don't know who the Winstons are... the power they have!" Loan smiled condescendingly and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "Oh, girl, you don’t know who I am either, do you?" Danna looked at him, confused, and Loan sighed. "Please, I want to see my son," he asked, his heart racing. "Can I?" Danna looked at him for a moment, then nodded, her eyes shining. "Yes, yes, of course you can. Let's go find him in the living room." Loan felt excitement swell inside him as Danna left the room to get the baby. He watched her walk down the hallway, feeling as if his heart might burst from the love he felt in t
CHAPTER 190. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. His greatest treasure"Is that why you faked your death?" Loan asked. "Yes... We waited for a shift change, and the doctor arranged everything. I was terrified of making the right decision because I didn’t know if I could raise him alone, but I guess my heart wouldn’t let me do anything else," she sighed. "The doctor also got me fake papers to start over..." "That’s why they know you as Leda," Loan realized. "Yes, that’s why... but it didn’t work out as I expected," the girl murmured sadly. "Why not?" "Because Olivia Winston recognized me as soon as she saw me. Apparently, she’s a big fan of figure skating and immediately realized I had fake papers. She gave me a job without saying anything and investigated me. When she found out there was a death certificate in my name..." Danna stifled her sobs and shook her head. "That’s why I can’t leave. She not only knows everything but..." Danna didn’t even dare to speak. "What, baby? You have to tell
CHAPTER 191. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Business and LiesDanna couldn't quite express how she felt—whether it was relief that Loan had found them or happiness that he hadn't doubted for a second that the baby was his. Hearing him say that he had enough money to pay off her debt had surprised her. She knew he wasn't exactly poor, but she had no idea he was that wealthy; the word "millionaire" hadn't even crossed her mind yet.It was an hour before dawn when her routine woke her up, and she saw Loan sitting there, his head and arms resting on the bed next to the baby, dozing in a tired half-sleep."Loan..." She gently stroked his hair, watching him wake up, disoriented."What's wrong? What time is it?" he asked, and Danna sat up in bed."It's five. I have to go to the kitchen to work.""But... what about the baby?" Loan asked, concerned, as it was still dark and very cold outside."I'll leave him with Lili," she replied.Loan watched as Danna took a few minutes to nurse the baby, and then
CHAPTER 192. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Enemy"Hey, Leda, since you were up there," the cook said, "did you hear if that man is finally going to buy the castle?"Danna froze."Huh? What are you talking about...?" she stammered. "Buy?""Yes, that man who arrived... Keller, I think his name is! The maids say he's here to buy the castle, and I really need to know if he's bringing his own staff because I don't want to lose my job," the man grumbled with concern."Don't worry..." Danna murmured with a reassuring gesture. "I really don't think Mr. Keller will leave us without work."But the truth was, she didn't know anything, and she spent the entire morning with her heart racing. Her gaze barely met Loan's as she served lunch, but an hour later, when she was finally removing her apron to go see her baby, a hand pulled her into the end of one of the hallways, and a second later, she was running after Loan as quietly as possible until they reached his room."Are you crazy? What are you doing?"
