Oriana borrowed Zara’s original words. “There were just too many delicious snacks and fun trinkets there, impossible to choose. So we got a little of everything.”
“Hehe, thanks, you two! Let’s go eat first. You must be starving after a busy morning.”
“Mm.”
In the cafeteria, Lily volunteered to treat Oriana to the recently popular and always–queued- for sauerkraut fish stew.
Oriana found a seat. While Lily was in line, she had a moment free to check if Micah had eaten lunch.
She called, but no one answered.
So, she contacted Chubby instead. “Chubby, access the home security feed. Find your dad.”
The connection to Chubby’s interface spun for a couple of circles. “Report, Oriana: Daddy is not home.”
Oriana was taken aback. “He went out? But he doesn’t have work…”
Before she could process this, a sudden footstep sounded behind her. Immediately afterward, an icy, low voice descended upon her from above. “Oriana, he has been deceiving you all along.”
Her heart skipped a beat.
She sprang to her feet and whirled around. Grant Holloway had appeared behind her as silently as a ghost. His gaze, tangible and clinging with a heat she found deeply repellent, was fixed tightly on her.
Oriana’s brow furrowed deeply.
“Grant, matters between my husband and me are none of your concern.”
She said, ‘my husband and me.‘
Grant responded with a cold laugh, the mockery on his face growing more pronounced and unrestrained. He took another step closer to Oriana. “Oriana, is it that you don’t want to know, or that you don’t dare?”
At this moment, those once–deeply affectionate eyes seemed filled with genuine emotion again, just like back when they supported each other through the toughest times, when his

eyes held only her, shining brightly. His gaze softened as he looked at the woman now full of wariness toward him, “Don’t be afraid, Oriana. came to tell you the whole truth. In this world, only my love for you is pure. Only I am sell willing to protect you unconditionally
Listening to this man’s fervent confession, Orian felt only nausea. Her tone was laced with cold sarcasm. “Grant, have you perhaps forgotten that your lawfully wedded wife is named Luna Sterling?”
A flash of displeasure disappeared from Grant’s eyes. “Oriana, Luna and I merely use each other. Yes, initially I needed the Sterling family’s investment. I needed her, Luna, to make connections for me so the company could get on track as fast as possible. But now it’s different. I can stand on my own now. As long as I’m here, the company can operate smoothly!
“As for Luna…
“I told you before, she’s sick, won’t live long. If it weren’t for the child in her belly, I would never tolerate a woman like her tarnishing the Holloway name!”
Oriana’s lips curled. “So you’re saying, once Luna gives birth and loses her usefulness, you’ll kick her to the curb.”
“Exactly. You’re as clever as ever.”
“Grant, you are truly disgusting.”
Oriana didn’t hesitate with her scorn. She looked at the cold, completely unfamiliar man before her. “The one truly tarnishing the Holloway name is you. If your parents were looking down from heaven, seeing what you’ve become, they would surely regret having a son like you.”
Back then, when she had relentlessly pursued Grant, he had ignored her, but his parents had accidentally discovered the situation. Before their accident, Oriana had met them. They were wonderful elders–gentle with her, advising her not to waste her youth and vitality on Grant alone, to love herself more. They had even saved all the gifts she had given Grant, which he had casually thrown in the trash, identified her as the giver, and returned them all to her.
