Just then, Leo walked in.
How is Gideon?” Elías asked.
His injuries are serious, but he’s out of danger, Leo sighed
No one had expected Nolan to be so crazy.
‘What about Nolan?” Stella asked.
He tried to escape after being arrested. He was shot dead”
Leo was almost speechless.
What did that man even want?
He’s just a madman.
His men caused a chain of car crashes, setting vehicles on fire and blowing them up to fake acade Luckily, no one died. Several decoys pretending to be him headed for Shaw Estate, but all were suppor Cross and Shaw security, Only Nolan crashed through the wall whhout caring for his fife.

We barely even knew each other.
He threw away his perfect life just to die foolishly.
“Help me check out,” Elias said.
He wanted to go home with Stella. The hospital was not convenient.
“I can, but…”
Leo leaned close and whispered, “No intense activity.”
Elias was caught off guard.
Intense activity.
He looked at Stella, and his heart stirred.
“Stella, I’ll take you home.”
“No, I told Dad I’m taking care of you. I’m staying at your place tonight.”
Gideon was injured, so other Cross Group employees came to pick them up.
Amelia and the others had left once they knew Elias was safe.
“Be careful on the road,” Leo said.
They nodded.
As soon as they got in the car, Elias pulled her into his arms.
The driver wisely raised the privacy partition.
“Commander Shaw. How many more surprises do you have for me?”
Stella smiled. “It’s a secret.”
“You’re so amazing. I’ll raise the kids later.”
Elias had said this more than once.
He was brilliant too, but her light outshone everyone.
“I heard from Amelia that you don’t like children”

“I can’t wait to see you as a dad, Mr. Cross.”

“Before that, maybe we should do something else,” Elias whispered in her ear, his voice growing s only for them to hear.
His voice was rough and beautiful.
“You’re still hurt! No intense activity.”
“It’s my first time. It won’t be that intense, right?”
Stella fell silent.
She looked out the window and shifted slightly.
Elias smiled at her small movement.
He pulled her back into his arms.
“You-”
“It hurts. Don’t move.”
Stella froze.
Elias buried his face in her neck, breathing in her familiar gardenia scent, smiling contentedly.
When they reached Cloudreach Manor, Elias insisted on taking a shower.
“Are you sure you can manage alone?”
“Do you want to help me?”
Stella froze, meeting his intense gaze. Her lips parted. “I… I’ll call the butler.”
