Alexander reached out and flicked her lightly on the forehead.

“I borrowed a lot of books from you back then,” he said. “You still haven’t gotten a few of them back.”

Elena immediately shot back, “You mean you never returned them.”

Alexander’s eyes softened slightly.

He still remembered those books clearly, especially the name written on the inside cover.

Ellie.

And the notes she had written to him.

“Do you want to come out and play? I know a place with a bunch of loquat trees.

“The chocolate your grandma gave me was so good. Where did you get it? Can you take me to buy some?”

“I heard you’re from the city. Is it a lot more lively there?”

At the time, he had been in a terrible state of mind.

Every day felt the same, filled with medication and silence. His father had passed away, and his mother was consumed by grief, leaving him with little attention, so he shut himself away in that small house, isolating himself from everything.

To him, those notes from a girl named Ellie had felt like an invisible disturbance.

He had told his grandmother countless times not to bring those things back.

But she never listened.

She continued visiting Vivian and Malcolm every day, chatting with them, and then bringing back books that he thought were meaningless. Yet over time, reading those books somehow became one of the few ways he passed the time.

By the time he finally decided that he wanted to meet this girl named Ellie and be friends with her, the Kingsley family suddenly came and took him back.

From that moment on, all contact was cut off.

After returning to the Kingsley family, he began learning how to become its heir, while also quietly investigating Ellie’s identity. Over the years, without Elena ever knowing, he had been watching her grow up, watching her enter the Sterling family.

At that time, however, the Kingsley family was dealing with many internal issues, and he was too busy handling those matters to interfere in her life.

Later on, when Elena married Nathan, and news about Nathan and Camille started circulating, he finally had someone look into what had been happening to Elena recently.

After discussing it with Walter, he altered the will Malcolm had left with the Kingsley family.

Now, he told her everything.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Elena asked, her emotions a mix of warmth and something bittersweet.

So all this time, someone had been quietly looking out for me.

“What matters is the future,” Alexander said after a brief pause, his tone calm but slightly vague.

Elena didn’t notice the subtle shift in his expression. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck again. “So are you really okay now? You still haven’t told me what you were sick with.”

He’s hiding something.

“I’m fine now,” he replied.

His hand gently brushed through her hair before he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Don’t worry.”

“But-”

Before she could continue, his phone rang, breaking the moment.

Alexander took out his phone, and Elena caught a glimpse of the screen.

Fiona.

“You should take it,” Elena said, stepping aside.

Now that everything had been said, she knew she needed to trust him.

Alexander leaned in and kissed her forehead again before answering the call in front of her, his tone returning to its usual calm distance. “What is it?”

Elena could faintly hear Fiona’s voice from the other end, carrying a sense of urgency. “I spoke with Miss Sterling about the situation. It’s a bit complicated. We might need to go to Astryn.”

“Got it,” Alexander replied simply.

Elena didn’t ask further about work matters. She understood that Alexander was not only her husband but also the CEO of Pinnacle Group.

He took the phone and stepped out onto the balcony.

When he returned after the call, Elena was no longer in the bedroom. A faint rustling sound came from the walk–in closet, so he walked over.

Elena was packing his clothes.

A suitcase lay open on the floor, with two sets of clothes already inside.

Hearing him approach, she turned around, folded a pair of dress pants, and placed them neatly into the suitcase. “I checked the weather in Astryn. It’s been raining lately. You should bring a few extra outfits, just in

case.
