Hannah nodded. “Yeah, they look alike. If anything, that actually helps Ethan in his attempt to win his wife back.”

Where the child is, there the mother’s heart will be.

If Benjamin likes Ethan, then Dawn will naturally prioritize letting him be the child’s dad!

Tara exchanged a look with her and said firmly, “You’re right. Then there’s no need for us to overthink this. Besides, Benjamin’s so adorable. Having him as my grandson is a win for me!”

“That’s true.”

“Yeah!”

But there’s still a third party meddling here. I’d better remind my idiot son.

Tara called Ethan. When the call connected, she cleared her throat before speaking. “Roxanne came by the house today.”

Ethan paused and asked in a low voice, “Why did she come?”

“What do you think?”

He caused this mess, and the whole family has to suffer for it!

Tara snorted coldly. “It’s obviously because of you! She came to make trouble. She ran Dawn into the ground and even showed me a bunch of ridiculous pictures.”

Ethan leaned back in his office chair. The bulge of his Adam’s apple looked like a small hill, hormones practically off the charts.

He closed his eyes and massaged his brow with long fingers.

In a hoarse voice, he asked, “What pictures?”

“Ugh…”

Tara clicked her tongue. How have I never noticed before how exhausting it is to talk to him?

“Pictures of Dawn with other men!” She didn’t mention Benjamin on purpose and only muttered, “Roxanne’s not easy to deal with. She’ll definitely stir up more trouble later. I’m just reminding you to be careful.”

Ethan hummed. “Anything else?”

Tara was so annoyed that she laughed, then suddenly thought of something and said gleefully, “Dawn said she made you mad. But I think… you just couldn’t lock her down, could you?

“And now with someone sabotaging things, I feel like your road to getting a wife back is going to be a long one.”

The vein at Ethan’s temple twitched. He didn’t say anything.

“I’ve said what I needed to say. Whether you listen is up to you. Anyway, I’ve already told Dawn -if she doesn’t marry you, I’ll take her as my goddaughter. Do whatever you want.”

Tara hung up leisurely. Kids have their own fate. She was done meddling.

Ethan stared at the disconnected call for a long moment, then let out a humorless laugh.

He casually tossed his phone onto the desk and pressed the intercom.

“Tony, come in.”

Two minutes later, Tony stood in front of the desk, slightly out of breath. “Boss, what can I do for you?”

Ethan opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed at the corner of them. “Have someone keep an eye on Roxanne. The moment anything looks off, stop her.”

Dawn had been busy at the company all day before she finally caught a break. Mason knocked on her door and came in.

“Ms. West.”

“What is it?”

Mason glanced at the fatigue under her eyes and frowned slightly. “Mr. West … has an assignment for you.”

Dawn raised her head. “Why didn’t he call me himself?”

They’d clearly been in contact just a couple of days ago.

“Maybe he heard you’ve been busy and didn’t want to disturb you,” Mason said formally. “There’s an important project in Ithelia that ran into trouble. Mr. West … wants you to go take a look.”

“Ithelia?”

Dawn ran it through her mind. There did seem to be such a project.

“That’s too far.”

She tapped the desk. “This place isn’t even stable yet, and he wants to send me to Ithelia? What’s he thinking?”

Mason never speculated about the boss’s intentions. He stayed put and waited for her instruction.

“I’m not going.”

Dawn thought for a moment and refused.

“Isn’t he just trying to give Roxanne another chance? This is perfect timing. Roxanne’s so capable–I’m sure she’ll be happy to go.”

Mason acknowledged and left.

But only a few minutes later, he came back.

This time, it wasn’t a discussion. It was a notification.

“Mr. West says the Ithelia project is very important. You have to go.”

Dawn didn’t know what the old man was plotting, but if he said this much, she clearly had no room to refuse.

As quitting time approached, Victor came to the company.

Dressed in a tailored suit, hair neatly styled, he finally looked a bit like the spirited man he used to be.

Dawn nodded in satisfaction. “Looks like you’re adapting pretty well.”

Victor sat upright, expressionless.

“I am.”

Dawn gave an awkward smile, thinking that this was probably normal. After all, after being mistreated by Daniel for so long, it would take time to adjust.

She tapped her fingers lightly and said, “You’ll follow Mason from now on. I’ll have him show

you the ropes. And I’m going to Ithelia next week. You’re coming with me.”

Victor nodded. “Alright.”

He looked overly proper and stiff. At first glance, it almost seemed a little amusing. But when it stayed that way, it tugged at the heart a little, like a quiet ache
