Stella was stunned when she heard RK ask her about what had happened that day. She felt as if she had just been hallucinating.

RK looked at Stella, who was rendered speechless, and asked patiently how she was doing that day.

“Ah! Very good. Emily came in the afternoon and called Damien. After chatting with him for a while, Emily left soon.” Stella glanced at RK and slowly shared what she had done that day, not realizing that RK had asked her how she felt, not what she had done.

When RK heard Stella’s answer, he remembered the man from that day. He had sent someone to investigate, but he found that he couldn’t uncover the man’s identity. All he knew was that the man had some connection to Damien, but he couldn’t find out his name.

“Well, how is Damien’s life abroad?” RK asked.

“Hmm? Well, it seems to be very good. Emily chatted with him for a while. Before I could talk, the phone was hung up,” Stella replied. She noticed something was off with RK. “Well, let’s go eat.”

“Okay.” Stella recalled that RK hadn’t had dinner at home before, yet for the past two days, he had been having dinner at home. It made her feel a bit uneasy.

After dinner, Stella returned to her room while RK headed to the study.

Stella glanced at the calendar on her phone and realized that RK must have gone abroad to be with Sophia. His absence made Stella feel slightly uncomfortable.

For Stella, the week when RK wasn’t home was a time of ease.

Meanwhile, RK sat in the study, preoccupied with thoughts of the mysterious man. He picked up his phone and dialed the number, but a female voice informed him that the number was disconnected.

“Ha! I didn’t expect it to be a one-time call. Interesting.” RK was about to hang up when he remembered Damien.

“Hey, who is it?” Damien answered the phone groggily in the morning.

“RK.” As soon as RK’s voice came through, Damien snapped to attention.

“RK, you still have the nerve to call me. Don’t you feel guilty about how you treat Stella? Since you like Sophia so much, why didn’t you leave her? Stella fell into the sea when she was pregnant. If she hadn’t been saved, she would have drowned.

Even though you jumped in to save her, you abandoned her afterward. She was trembling with cold, yet you refused to return to your room. How can you talk about Stella like that?” Damien shouted, breathless from his outburst.

“How do you know about this? Aren’t you abroad?” RK asked, realizing that the man was somehow connected to Damien.

“It’s none of your business. How can you hide anything from me?” Damien snapped back, frustrated that RK was refusing to reflect on his actions. Just as he was about to continue, RK hung up the phone, leaving Damien seething with anger.

After hanging up, RK was lost in thought.

“Who called?” Wayne asked, still awake and busy with work. The room where Damien stayed had surveillance and monitors, so Wayne was always aware if something happened to him.

“It’s nothing. I was sleeping soundly when RK called me. I don’t know what he’s up to. I got up late and told him about it, but he hung up before I could finish,” Damien explained, feeling angrier by the minute.

Hearing this, Wayne guessed that RK had called Damien just to confirm that he was aware of him. “Don’t think about it. It’s still early. Let’s sleep a little longer.”

Wayne approached Damien, rubbing his head in a comforting gesture.

“I’m so angry that I can’t sleep.” Damien noticed Wayne was still in the same clothes he wore earlier, and the cold air emanating from them made Damien realize Wayne had not rested at all. “It’s dawn. Haven’t you rested yet?”

“There are some things that are a little tricky to deal with, so I’ve been busy,” Wayne replied, smiling at Damien, who seemed to have noticed.

“You’re busy, but you have to rest on time,” Damien said discontentedly.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go back to rest after you sleep.” With that, Wayne sat beside Damien and helped him lie down.

“Do you think I can trust you? When you start to work, you turn into a workaholic. Take off your coat and come in.” Damien scooted over, making room for Wayne.

Wayne chuckled at Damien’s antics, took off his coat, and lay down under the quilt.

On RK’s side, he felt wide awake. He sat in the study, unable to sleep at all, and remained lost in thought.

When Stella woke up, she discovered that RK was no longer at home.

“Madam, Mr. Kingston said he had an early morning meeting and left early. He asked me to make sure you eat a good breakfast. He also mentioned that you’ve eaten too little these past two days, so you should eat more. He plans to have lunch with you at noon if possible,” Aunt Maya informed Stella, noticing how attentive RK had become towards her.

Stella was unsure of RK’s intentions but nodded in appreciation and sat down to breakfast.

During his morning meeting, RK felt his phone vibrating but didn’t pay it much mind. However, the vibration continued, prompting him to step outside and check his phone. He saw it was Isabella, Sophia’s mother, who was calling.

RK was puzzled as to why Isabella kept calling him, as they weren’t very familiar.

Just as RK was lost in thought, his phone vibrated again.

He swiped to answer, placing the phone next to his ear.

Before RK could say anything, he heard Isabella’s distressed sobs.

“RK, I just arrived in America today. I came to see Sophia, but as soon as I got to her place, I found out that she attempted suicide by cutting her wrist in the bathtub.” Isabella’s cries made RK frown. “Sophia, do you want to commit suicide?” he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“That’s right. Sophia has just been rescued and is still in a coma,” Isabella continued, her voice heavy with sorrow.

“RK… I didn’t blame you. Since you took Stella, you shouldn’t have anything to do with our Sophia. When I came to see Sophia, I warned her not to get too close to you. Otherwise, what would others say about you and the Richard family?

But Sophia wouldn’t listen. She said you would definitely divorce her and marry her. Look at how foolish she is. She committed suicide because she couldn’t wait.”

RK felt a wave of guilt as he listened to Isabella’s words, reflecting on how the once-cheerful Sophia was now in such a dark place because of him.

“RK, Sophia has just woken up. You can tell her yourself,” Isabella added, seemingly passing the phone to Sophia.

“RK…” Sophia’s weak voice reached his ears, and he frowned.

“Sophia, don’t do anything stupid. I’ll divorce Stella immediately.”
