Every moment was tormenting. The relationship between Cedric, Irwin, and Natalie is now murky.
Meanwhile, the Entes family had reached a critical point in Simeria!
Once Cedric returned to Wexford, the situation with the document escalated.
Things between Malcolm and Zane were also at a critical juncture!
At Verdant Villa, cigar smoke swirled in the man's hand. When Bianca entered the room with the kitten, she noticed the man's heavy gaze.
When Zane saw her, he composed himself.
"It seems you've taken good care of this little one. It's growing well," he remarked.
He recalled how he had found the little thing on the road and how it looked like a tiny ball then. Its fur hadn't even grown out fully yet.
But now, in Bianca's hands, its fur had grown beautifully. Though it was still small, it radiated with life.
Bianca sat beside Zane with the kitten in her arms. "The growth cycle of small animals is short, but raising a child is different."
Children required much effort when it came to their care.
But small animals?
With care, they always grew quickly.
Zane fell silent.
When Bianca mentioned children, his mind wavered.
"Do you like children?" Zane asked suddenly, catching Bianca off guard.
Children?
Did she like them?
"I can't say for sure," Bianca replied.
"Why?"
"Probably because I've seen too much!" Her words carried a hint of bitterness.
What kind of existence were children, exactly?
Life!
They were an independent life that needed to be respected and nurtured.
And what had she seen?
Due to her profession in Verde City, she had seen quite a lot about children.
Many couples start with great affection, yet during divorce, they become so hysterical.
Where did those children end up?
Some ended up with one of their parents, but most ended up with grandparents.
Regardless, it didn't change the fact that their family was broken, and their parents were separated!
When Bianca saw those children, she didn't want her own to become like them.
"Children are different from cats. Single people can own cats, but children... need a complete family!"
Bianca's words held depth.
Zane studied her, and something stirred within him.
Family?
A complete family?
His firm and powerful hand rested on Bianca's back, gently pulling her into his embrace!!
"What's wrong?" Bianca asked.
"I've never experienced the kind of complete family you described."
To be precise, none of the Entes family members had ever experienced it.
So, what kind of feeling was that?
Zane had no idea.
As he spoke, Bianca's heart constricted as well.
Yes!
As Zane said, he had never experienced it. It was evident from the recent happenings within the Entes family.
When faced with profits before them, the hysteria they displayed was terrifying.
So, the fate of the Entes family would finally be decided soon. It was clear the situation had escalated to an unprecedented level.
Seeing Zane's expression, Bianca felt even more worried.
"I..."
"Irwin is in Yuloria now, so you'll be safer there."
Simeria was in turmoil. There could be many unforeseen events, some of which... a single person couldn't handle alone.
An example of it would be how she had been taken from Verde City to Simeria out of nowhere back then...!
It was something Bianca couldn't handle.
If she were in Yuloria, she'd probably be fine now. Something like that wouldn't happen to her there.
With Simeria now in its current state, no one knew what kind of unexpected events might unfold next. But amidst this complex situation, Bianca also bore Malcolm's hatred.
It was obvious what would happen if...!
"But I..." Bianca trailed off here, evidently feeling uneasy about Zane's situation.
Malcolm was a very cunning person. Though Zane was cautious, Malcolm seemed to be more than just cunning.
She had only heard about how things were between Zane and Malcolm. But now, facing it firsthand, Bianca realized her heart was bleeding.
The feeling was so painful and unbearable for her.
"What? Don't you trust me?" Zane looked at her with a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
His smile seemed reassuring, as if everything was under control, yet this very same smile indicated he would send her away.
From this, it was evident that everything happening in Simeria, regardless of how calm the surface seemed, was not simple at all.
Bianca looked at Zane, and her throat tightened. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words.
"If it helps you feel at ease, I'll go to Yuloria."
Bianca wasn't foolish.
Once Zane proposed such an idea, it meant that things had already escalated to a complicated level. Her being here might cause trouble for him.
When he heard Bianca's answer, Zane's smile deepened. His smile was so bright that it dazzled her eyes.
