The gulf in status between their two families was already vast. Darius had been working tirelessly to bridge it, but the disparity remained undeniable. All he hoped for was that Zara would live a good life with the Caldwells and never be looked down upon.
After a moment’s thought, Willa nodded in agreement with Zara’s decision. “Zara has a point. It will all belong to the baby eventually. The Caldwells are sensible people, they’ll understand her reasoning and won’t take it the wrong way.”
“Exactly! Noah even praised me for it. You guys can relax,” Zara said, shaking her head playfully. “The Caldwells are wonderful people. They take such good care of me and Oriana. You can rest one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand percent easy!”
She hugged Darius‘ arm and nuzzled against it affectionately. Seeing this, Darius finally let himself relax a little.
Darius said, tapping her forehead with a doting smile, “No one knows how to say no to you.”
Zara giggled. “You make it sound like I’m some adorable treasure everyone loves. In the whole world, only you two, Noah, and Oriana are willing to protect me like this.”
Willa smiled gently. “Your mother–in–law cares a great deal about you, doesn’t she? And Kenny treats you extremely well, too.”
“Him?” Zara scoffed without thinking. “He doesn’t treat me well at all. I’ll be relieved if he doesn’t drive me up the wall.”
The truth slipped out before she could catch it. The smiles on Darius and Willa’s faces stiffened instantly, replaced by worry. “Zara, what does that mean? What happened between you and Kenny?”
The corner of Zara’s mouth twitched. “It’s just… you know, we love to bicker. Sigh. It can’t be helped. I’m the favorite in the Caldwell family now, so he’s jealous. It’s nothing, really. You don’t need to worry.”
“But you just said clearly that…”
“Eat, eat! Come on, dig in before it gets cold. Besides, aren’t you here to see me? Why do you keep talking about other people? I’m going to get mad.”
Zara cut off their questions by stuffing a piece of steak into Darius‘ mouth, then one into Willa’s.
Seeing Zara brush the topic aside so casually, Darius and Willa exchanged a glance but didn’t press further.
After the meal, the family of three went shopping. Zara insisted on dragging them around and bought them quite a few clothes and accessories before they finally went their separate ways.
Zara invited them to stay at the Caldwell estate, but Darius and Willa politely declined. They also asked her not to mention their presence in Jindiwood to anyone.
“Why? What’s wrong with saying you’re here?”
“We came to see you,” Darius explained, “but we’re also here to negotiate cooperation with a few companies. If the Caldwell family finds out, we’ll end up owing them favors again.”
“Oh, I see. Alright then. Message me when you get back to your hotel, and stay safe.”
“You too. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Don’t worry. I’d never mistreat myself.”

Chapter 595 Worry
After they parted ways, Darius and Willa got into a taxi back to their hotel.
In the car, Darius looked troubled. “Do you think Zara is hiding something from us?”

Willa also felt that Zara’s reaction earlier had been off. However, considering Zara was the type who couldn’t hide her feelings, if something were truly wrong, she wouldn’t have been joking around so happily.
“It’s probably just a little lover’s quarrel with Kenny. Don’t worry too much.”
“I hope so.”
Meanwhile, in Meradin.
After the test results came in, the specialists finalized a surgical plan for Micah. The operation was scheduled for three days later and was expected to last five hours.
During the wait, Micah didn’t stay in the hospital. Instead, he accompanied Oriana to the laboratory.
