An entire year had passed before James finally obtained news about Thea.Regardless of whether Sky’s intel was accurate, at least it gave James a sliver of hope.He rushed to Cansington without stopping to catch his breath.Meanwhile, the Callahans in Cansington were gathered together in their villa staring at Thea.The Thea before them looked about only eighteen or nineteen years old. She had long black hair, delicate features, and fair skin.“Thea, is it really you?”“You’re finally back, Thea. What happened? A year ago, James came to Cansington looking for you. Then, he never showed up again, and neither did you. Where did you two go in the past year?”The Callahans surrounded Thea and bombarded her with questions.“James? Who’s that?” Thea’s innocent face expressed that she had no idea what the people around her were referring to.She continued. “By the way, my exams are coming up soon. I have to go back to my room and study. Also, when did our family move here?”“...”H
“What’s going on?”“Why are there so many soldiers?”“Who’re they here for?”As soon as James walked out of the airport, he was slightly taken aback by the countless soldiers waiting to receive him.He immediately walked over.At that moment, a slightly tanned man wearing a military robe with five stars on his shoulder rushed over. He appeared in front of James, saluted him, and gave a respectful greeting. “You’re finally back, Dragon King!”The person that approached was Henry.James looked at Henry in a daze.A year ago, he left to search for Thea without saying goodbye.Seeing Henry again, James felt like he was dreaming. After standing dazed for a few seconds, he responded, “Henry, it’s you! I was wondering for a second who you actually were. Woah, not bad. You’re wearing the Red Flame robe and have five stars. That must mean you’re the Emperor now, right?”“Yeah.” Henry chuckled.“Dragon King.” Another voice called out to him.Another person in a military robe walked o
One year had passed.James had been searching for Thea for an entire year.This whole time, he failed to find any news about Thea, but just when he was about to give up, he suddenly learned of Thea’s current location.“James, I’ve seen Thea in the surveillance footage. She’s indeed at the Callahans’ villa,” said Henry.James was beyond thrilled and could not find the words to express himself. He turned around and quickly left the airport.Henry chased after him and said, “James, I’ll drop you at the Callahans’ villa.”“Alright.” James nodded.Henry escorted James to the Callahans’ villa.At the Callahans’ villa.“Grandpa, Dad! We’ve got a problem! Something’s happening outside!”Tommy frantically ran over to the other Callahans.At that moment, everyone was gathered around Thea, who was presently eating.Lex stood up and pointed his cane at Tommy, reprimanding him, “Where are your manners? Why are you causing such a fuss? Can’t you see Thea’s eating?”“W-Well…”Tommy poin
However, the person before her did not exist in her memories.“You’re not my husband. Get lost.”She pointed at James, and her pretty lips twisted into a frown.James was dumbstruck and stared at her, frozen in shock.“What happened to her…?”He composed himself after a few seconds and turned to the other family members.David walked toward James and said in a hushed tone, "James, we're just as clueless as you. After Thea returned, she seemed to have lost her memories. She only has memories of events before eleven years ago. A few moments ago, she even mentioned needing to revise for her exams.”“...”James was stunned.He stared at Thea.Memory loss?He walked over, took Thea’s hand, and checked her pulse.“Ahh! What’re you going? Let go of me, you pervert!”Thea kept resisting, but James held firmly onto her hand.It did not take long for him to understand Thea’s condition.Thea’s body had recovered, and her blood had returned to normal. However, her neurons were damag
A year ago, Maxine had convinced Thea to leave.Maxine thought she would have a chance with James with Thea out of the picture.However, she waited for a year, and heard no news of James.After hearing that Thea had returned to Cansington, she anxiously rushed back.When she reached Cansington, she learned that James was also in the city.So, she immediately rushed to see him.“Long time no see, James.”Maxine walked over with a charming smile.“Yeah. It’s already been a year.” James felt slightly nostalgic.Although it had only been a year, he had experienced countless things and traveled to many places, which made him feel like a long time had passed since he last saw Maxine.“Shouldn’t you be at Cadens' mansion in the Capital? What’re you doing in Cansington?”“What’s wrong? Can’t I come to see you? Despite everything that’s happened, both of us still came from similar circumstances. Although, you don't seem quite that happy to see me now,” Maxine pretended to pout and
James looked at Thea.Thea’s current appearance was full of innocence.She was pouting her lips which made her look even cuter.“I don’t want to get to know you.” Thea sneered. She looked at James and asked, “Do you really know me?”“Yeah.”“Then, tell me, what kind of relationship do we have?”Thea was confused and curious about why she had no memories of the past 11 years.She wanted to know what was going on, but no one explained anything to her.“You’re my wife,” James said earnestly.“You’d better not think about taking advantage of my situation. How is it possible that I married someone like you? I’d rather marry anyone other than you.”Thea looked at James in disbelief.She did not recognize the person in front of her, nor did she know his identity. However, she was sure she would not marry someone as sloppy as James.His long hair disgusted her.Her type was tall, well-kept, and charming.“James Caden?”Thea suddenly exclaimed as if she recalled something. “Are
James returned to Common Clinic.As he entered the clinic, he heard someone speaking on the phone.“Love you! Mwah! Alright. I have to go. I heard someone coming back, it must be James. I’m hanging up now. Bye!”Henry hung up the phone as James walked into the clinic.He immediately stood up and asked, “How did it go, James? Did you see Thea?”“Yeah, but I got kicked out.”James sat down despondently.“Don’t worry, have some patience. If you don’t mind me saying, James. I think your current appearance isn’t helping you win her back at all.”“Is that so?”Henry said, “Of course. Think about it, Thea has no memories of the past few years and only can remember events from when she was eighteen. That meant her current mentality is of an eighteen-year-old. What do you think girls around that age would like? They love clean and charming men. Look at yourself. You’re a mess.”“You’re right.”James suddenly came to a realization.He had not cut his year in the past year.The follo
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Dragon King and Emperor?” Thea frowned at the strange and unfamiliar terms.She only had memories of her school days. Thus, she had no idea what the Dragon King, Black Dragon, or Emperor was.However, she knew about the King.She looked at James and burst out laughing, “Haha. The King? This guy here?”It was not that she did not want to believe it, but it seemed impossible.What kind of significance did the King have?The King was the most influential person and highest officer of Sol.How was it possible for the person in front of her to become King?She would not believe it, even if someone threatened her to.“I’m hungry. I want to eat KFC. I’m going to change and head out.”Thea walked away and headed upstairs.The Callahans sat awkwardly in the living room.Lex looked at James. He feared getting on James’ bad side, so he spoke cautiously, “Don’t worry, James. Thea’s memory loss is only temporary. I believe she’ll remember you very
