Joshua leaned close to Xylia, copying her earlier move, and whispered in her ear, “It’s most likely something George told your brother.”

Xylia just gave him a look, speechless. ‘Of course it’s got everything to do with Grandpa George, but what I really want to know is what he actually said,’ she thought.

“Still wanna play, or shall we head back?” Joshua murmured.

Just as Xylia was about to answer, someone tugged gently at her hand. She looked down and met Bella’s adorable big eyes. “Sis, I have a present for you,” Bella said.

Xylia glanced at Joshua. “Looks like we’ll have to hold off for now.”

Bella grabbed Xylia’s hand and led her through the garden, past the long pavilion out by the main estate, all the way to a private guesthouse sitting five hundred meters west of the main house.

“This is where I live with Mom and Dad!” Bella grinned. “And your present’s waiting in my room. Come on, let’s go!”

When they stepped inside, the servants bustled around, flipping on lights and setting out tea.

By the time Xylia walked into Bella’s cozy little room, the tea was already arranged, piping hot and ready for them.

Xylia thanked the staff and watched as Bella headed over to her little dressing room, glancing back secretively while pulling out a pink box.

Bella walked over, cheeks flushed, and shyly handed the pink box to Xylia.

“Open it, sis!” Bella urged, excitement sparkling in her eyes.

Xylia lifted the lid; inside was a pair of dance shoes.

Xylia was genuinely surprised.

She blinked at Bella, asking, “Bella, why did you get me dance shoes?”

“I saw a video of you dancing online,” Bella replied.

Thinking about that clip, Bella’s eyes sparkled with excitement, her whole face lighting up.

“You looked gorgeous! Out of everyone, I spotted you right away. Mom said you dance like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, but to me, you’re a butterfly gathering nectar–beautiful

Xylia could pretty much guess which video Bella was talking about—it must’ve been the one Bella found by accident when Howard Jennings was doing his usual snooping around.

That clip came from a huge dance tour her coach put together years ago. Xylia was the main dancer in that show and spent six months training nonstop just to get every move perfect.

It was her very first time stepping onto a stage that massive–and, as fate would have it, also

the last.

After that, she got married and sacrificed all the things she was passionate about before- trading her old dreams for a new life.

Later, her injury sealed the deal; it meant she’d never set foot on stage again.

“Sis, could you wear these dance shoes and get back on stage? I really want to see you perform,” Bella said softly, her eyes full of hope.

Xylia closed the box with a smile and gently pinched Bella’s cheek.

“I can’t go back to dancing on stage because of my injury,” Xylia explained, her voice gentle. “But if you’d like, I can put on these shoes and dance just for you on your birthday. How does that sound, Bella?”

Bella’s face fell when she heard about Xylia’s injury. She softly grabbed Xylia’s hand, concern etched in every word.

“Where are you hurt, sis? It’s totally fine if you can’t dance–Bella doesn’t need to see you perform. You just need to get better, okay?”

Kids never hide their feelings–her concern was pure and genuine.

Xylia’s heart completely melted.

She smiled and gave Bella’s soft, chubby hand a gentle squeeze.

“My injury’s healed now,” Xylia reassured her. “I just can’t dance on stage anymore, but I can still do an occasional dance.”

Bella looked a bit let down at first, but when she remembered about Xylia’s injury, she quickly hid her disappointment.

Trying her best to comfort Xylia in a very grown–up way, Bella said, “It’s okay if you can’t dance, sis. The clothes you design are beautiful! Mom told me that as long as you’re really good at one thing, that’s enough.”

Xylia couldn’t help but feel her heart grow soft and warm.

After leaving the Jennings family estate, Xylia hugged that pink box close, like she was holding onto a piece of her heart.

She carried it all the way home, treating it as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Joshua knew Xylia had just agreed to dance for Bella on her birthday, and honestly, he couldn’t help but feel a bit left out.

As they sat together in the back seat, he scooted closer to Xylia, his voice full of simmering envy. “So… what about me?”

Xylia shot him a sidelong glance, brows raised with confusion. “What’s up with you?”

“You promised you’d dance for me too,” Joshua said, almost sulking.

“You’re the one who begged me to dance for you,” Xylia teased him.

“And you agreed,” Joshua grumbled, sounding almost petulant.

Xylia instantly caught onto it–Joshua was actually jealous of Bella.

‘Seriously? Jealous of a little kid?‘ Xylia thought, amused. ‘Joshua is way too childish sometimes.’

She smiled, set the pink box aside, took his hand, and said gently, “I told you I’d need to get ready, remember? Just give me a bit of time, okay?”

Joshua was satisfied with her answer. He took her hand and gently drew her into his embrace.

As soon as Connor stepped out of the Jennings family estate, he pulled out his phone and called his assistant.

“Look into everything that’s been going on with Xylia while she’s been in Norhill.”

Back then, Connor figured Xylia had nothing and once life got tough, she’d come back to him looking for help.

Just like she always did–turning to him whenever she needed someone to lean on.

But now, everything had changed.

Xylia wasn’t just with Joshua–she’d also started her own company in Norhill. And most importantly, she had a family now.

She was surrounded by people who loved her and would always support her. With all that in her life now, how could she possibly turn to him again?

Panic began to creep out from the depths of his heart, spreading through him.

For the first time, Connor realized that all this time, the belief Xylia would come back to him was just an excuse he’d used to comfort himself.

Xylia wasn’t ever coming back to him.

‘No!‘ Connor’s thoughts screamed in protest.

‘No way. I won’t let this happen!‘

‘There’s no way Xylia could just throw away eight years with me–she can’t forget all that so fast!‘

Connor yanked open the car door and climbed inside.
