Chapter 510 Sparks
“Indeed, nothing escapes your keen eyes, Josiah,” Aiden flattered before asking sheepishly, “Whose child is
this?”
Josiah explained to Aiden what happened before his arrival. The Lionharts‘ granddaughter. Nieva is going hiking, so she entrusted her daughter in our care for a couple of days.”
Aiden visibly relaxed. His tense back, which was pressed up against the back of the chair, eased. He let out a relieved chuckle and said, “I remember now. So she’s Nieva’s child, huh? I was wondering why she seemed somewhat familiar. Her eyes don’t look like Nieva’s, though.”
Aiden’s mood lightened after he found out about the child’s identity. Making faces to cheer the baby up, he said, “Josiah, I’ve heard that Nieva isn’t much involved in the family business lately. Is your meeting with her this time about something serious?”
“Yeah.”
Aiden’s
phone suddenly started ringing, and he said apologetically. “Excuse me, I need to take this.”
With that, he pressed the answer key without a second thought, pressing the phone against his ear. Then, a visible change overtook his expression.
Josiah turned to look at Aiden solemnly.
Aiden, who had just relaxed a few minutes ago, became tense again. He tightened his grip on the phone as if he was afraid that others might overhear what the caller said.
After a moment of silence, Aiden spoke up, but his words were succinct. “Okay, I understand.”
He even stopped responding with words after that, humming and grunting in response.
Josiah wasn’t the only one surprised. His unusual behavior even caught the attention of Lysander, who was engrossed in perusing documents. She lifted her head to look in his direction, curious.
Aurora, the baby, who was gurgling incoherently, looked at the strange newcomer curiously as well.
Before long, the phone conversation came to an end. Aiden lowered his voice to a whisper, making it hard for the caller to hear him. “I’m at a holiday resort right now.”
After he said that, he hastily ended the call. When he looked back at Josiah, his gaze was filled with unease.
Aiden and Josiah were close. The look on Aiden’s face was enough to tell Josiah that something complicated was up. He seemed restless, wanting to leave but not daring to..
Josiah had been in a relatively good mood lately. Seeing him so distressed, he expressed his concern, “Who was that on the phone? An ex–girlfriend of yours?”
“I wish,” Aiden said, observing Josiah’s expression and saying cautiously, “That was a call from my brother. He’s coming over too.”
Josiah seemed unbothered, playing with Aurora. “So what? Why are you so nervous?”
The sight of Josiah playing with Aurora was heartwarming, but Aiden still couldn’t shake the restlessness

He knew all too well that Josiah and Adrian were romantic rivals. Sparks will fly, and chaos might break out if the two of them meet! Wire still, I can’t afford to offend either of them. I’m practically sandwiched in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place!
Lysander glanced at the clock, noting there was still plenty of time and that she could always read the documents later. “All right.”
I bet Adrian will be heartbroken when he sees this. It’s better if they don’t see each other.
The children’s playground was not particularly large, resembling the courtyard of an ordinary preschool. Inside, apart from a sandbox and recreational facilities like swings and slides, there was also a charming maze–like castle constructed with a hint of childlike whimsy. It was incredibly appealing to the kids.
Aurora’s eyes lit up when she saw that, and she extended her chubby little hand, babbling in excitement, wanting to play.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
