Even if he was giving her money, he had never been nice to her. He basically always was very fierce to her and was annoyed at her. However, this Uncle Holden was very gentle to her. Minerva suddenly smiled."Uncle Holden, for so many years, I have always been able to take great care of myself. Compared to that Uncle Holden of mine, you knew how to take care of me more. That uncle had never been bothered to ask me where I was staying. He would only tell me fiercely, 'Don't spend other people's money! Not even a single penny! If you dare to fool around out there, I'll break your legs! If you want to spend money, I'll give you the money no matter how much!' That's basically how he talked to me.""Then, I'll also keep an eye on you more in the future as well. If you dare to not study well, I will beat you up!" Vireo immediately said with a stern expression."Hahaha. Uncle Holden…" Minerva was happy."What about…what about me?" A half-grown little child behind Vireo looked at him eagerl
The voice from the other end was a voice that Vireo wanted to forget and had already forgotten. However, it was a voice that would make him feel incomparably disgusted when he heard it again. That was Mira's voice.On the other end of the call, Mira still addressed him as she did in the past. "Hubby…""I'm sorry, madam. You seemed to have forgotten that we already had no relations with each other anymore. I'm hanging up now," Vireo immediately said coldly.After saying that, he immediately hung up the call.He and Mira had already been divorced. They would never have any relations with each other anymore in the future. Everything was already in the past. He did not want to hate, much less mention it. He was someone who wanted to thoroughly bid farewell to the past. His focus in the future would be in South City. The woman that he wanted to care for in the future was the girl in front of him named Isadora."Holden, who was it who called?" Isadora asked him gently."My ex-wife, but
He felt just as relaxed at that moment as how nervous he was earlier on. After he lay on the couch for a while, Vireo unexpectedly had a dream. In that dream, he met that face that was exactly like his again. That face was beaming from ear to ear, and he was very satisfied."You…your name is Holden? You are the younger brother of Sebastian, the director of the Ford Group?" asked Vireo.The man did not answer. He just smiled. Vireo repeated himself again. That man, however, floated backward and got further and further away. It was after Vireo's vision was blurred and he could no longer see clearly that he heard a distant voice."That's you. You're talking about yourself. You are me, and I am you…""Don't go. Don't you go away. Tell me what the hell is going on. Why is this happening? You…" That figure was no longer visible anymore."Take care of them…" In the end, that voice said that again when it was on the verge of vanishing."Don't you go…" Vireo abruptly woke up from his drea
When Isadora saw Vireo laughing, she felt even more embarrassed. "Holden, I'm sorry. I feel that I am a woman, so I should know how to cook. I wanted to cook something good for you and I'm afraid that you'll be hungry, but…"However, she had already finished using all the ingredients in Holden's fridge. In the end, she did not even manage to make a single decent dish. She was thinking that he had seen Jane making gnocchi when she had nothing to do at home. She had put tomatoes and some vegetables in it and the gnocchi was extremely delicious. Gnocchi were easy to make. It was just mashing and mixing some flour, potatoes, and egg, and it was all done after just boiling them. In the end, Isadora failed at making gnocchi even after she had finished a small bag of flour that Vireo had bought. Instead, her face, hair, and apron were all covered in flour.Since she failed at making gnocchi, she thought of making custard pudding. Isadora had often seen Jane making custard puddings for the c
The way she looked was extremely cute in Vireo's eyes. It was so heartwarming and it made him want to squeeze her tightly in his arms very badly."Are you hungry?" the man asked gently."Mm-hmm." Isadora was truly hungry. When she was at the restaurant, she was so focused on listening to Vireo talking about his past that she did not eat much at all. On top of that, she had spent more than an hour tidying up all the things in the rooms after she had entered the house, so she really was a little hungry."Come on, I'll take you to wash your face. After that, you can just sit and watch television in the living room and wait for me. I'll be done with the cooking in half an hour." The man led Isadora toward the bathroom. He could not bear to clean up her dirty little face, but he knew that Isadora would be shy.As expected, when Isadora saw herself in the mirror, she first lowered her head shyly, then she bent over laughing, and moved around in his arms. Her movements instantly ignited t
Isadora did not know how to do that. She knew nothing. She had been wandering everywhere with her brother, and she was dressed like a man for most of the time. She did not even have the chance to fall in love, much less kiss. Her life truly was very empty after living for more than thirty years. She looked at Vireo with a clear and confused, and also expectant and pitiful gaze. She did not know how to answer him.Vireo smiled. "What a silly girl."She knew nothing, so he suddenly felt guilty. She was so pure. He, on the other hand, had been married before, so he actually was very experienced in that aspect. He felt that she truly would be at a disadvantage if they were to get together. However, when he saw that she loved him so much through her eyes, Vireo felt that he certainly had to be even better to her in this life to compensate her.That night was filled with passion and it was perfect. Also, there was no doubt that it was Vireo who was taking the lead. He could not be too agg
She was a great mother. He especially wanted to meet her. He took both Aino and Minerva downstairs, and once the two children got into his car, one after another, they started to ask him questions."Uncle Holden, did you have a good time last night?""Uncle Holden, where is Isadora?""Uncle Holden, how did you and Aunt Isadora spend last night together?""Uncle Holden, when are you and Isadora planning to get married? Do you think I'm too old to be your flower girl? Are there any girls in their twenties who are still flower girls?""Uncle Holden, Uncle Holden, I'm only twelve years old. I can be the flower girl. Just forget about Miss Minerva.""I want to be one! This is my uncle!""He is also my uncle!""He is my uncle! You brat, if you keep fighting me over him, I'll beat you up!" Minerva had never been gracious to Aino.Aino had always been Minerva's little follower. She grinned and said, "Alright, alright. I'll let you have it since you're the beauty who is second to none
Right at the moment when he saw Sean, Vireo, no, his name should have already been Holden then. Right at the moment when he saw Sean, Holden was also stunned. He had an intense and indescribable feeling toward Sean. It was even more intense than the feeling he had for Sebastian. It was as if Sean was truly his father. However, that feeling was immediately suppressed by Holden. He bowed his head a little and smiled at Sean. "You should be Mister Ford, right?""Holden, my son…" Sean said.Holden was speechless."I have already wronged your mother enough. Your mother wanted to see you once the most before she died, but she did not get to do that. Ever since you died, I felt even more so that I've wronged your mother. I have never expected it, my son, I have never expected that you're still alive. You…you're actually still alive." Sean looked at Holden with tears streaming down his cheeks.Holden shook his head. "Mister Ford, I am not your son. I simply looked like your son. However, I
