    Seaville.


    Kelly, holding the baby, rode back to Seaville in Caden''s car.

    Throughout the drive, Caden kept turning around to y with the little one, and they yed together the entire ride.


    It was obvious that Caden had taken a liking to Jasper.


    "So, where are you nning to stay?" Caden asked Zev.


    "We''re heading to Starlight Bay. I had the maids clean up earlier." Zev said softly, holding Kelly''s hand, "My parents bought the house for their marital home, and live off their hard work now. When we have time, I''ll take you to some houses. I''ll use my savings to give you a home."


    Zev wanted to assure Kelly that, with his own efforts, he could support both her and the little one.


    Kelly sighed. "Why do you need so many houses?"


    "I''m just worried you''ll think I''m living off my parents ... that I''m useless," Zev huffed. "I have savings too."


    Those were the hard-earned savings from risking his life.


    "We''ll talk about it when we get home," Kelly said, helplessly squeezing Zev''s hand.


    Caden made a face and rolled his eyes. "Stop showing off."


    "Then, don''t look," Zev teased, wrapping his arm around Kelly and continuing to unt their love.


    The car drove into the neighborhood, and Kelly was stunned as she looked at the Starlight Bay Zev had mentioned.


    She had heard this was a wealthy area before, but it hadn''t quite hit her until now. "Your parents... started their own business and bought a house here?" Kelly asked, looking at the spacious vis spread out across the area.


    Each one had a significant plot ofnd.


    While it might notpare to the Lockhart Mansion, these well-built, standalone vis in Seaville were worth quite a lot.


    "My parents are both top graduates in finance," Zev said, smiling. "My dad''s first big break in business was just a small goal, though having capital and connections were key to his sess."


    Kelly fell silent. The world of the wealthy was something she couldn''t even begin to imagine.


    "We''re here."


    The car pulled up to the small vi, and Kelly got out, while Zev carried the kid.

    "Settle in first. If you need anything, just call me, and I''ll bring it over," Caden said with a generous smile, stepping forward to take Jasper. "Can I keep him for a few days?"


    "No," Zev said, quickly grabbing their son back.


    Caden clicked his tongue. "You''re so stingy."


    Kelly still felt a bit ufortable around Caden. Every time she saw him, her mind would go to the child he had with rissa.


    She cleared her throat awkwardly and lowered her head to distract herself..


    "Mr. Zion." At the door, the butler and maid hurried over to take their luggage, looking a bit nervous.


    Kelly looked up and saw rissa standing at the top of the stairs, holding a child who appeared to be around two years old.


    Jasper, looking a little confused, nced at the child beside rissa and asked softly, "Daddy, who''s he?" Zev frowned, his expression dark. "I don''t know."


    rissa stood there, exuding an air of superiority, holding the child as if she were a queen with a scepter in hand.


    Her expression wasn''t great, and when she looked at Kelly, it was as if the official wife was sizing up the mistress.


    Kelly felt a bit curious, wondering where rissa''s confidence came from- perhaps it was her shamelessness.


    It had been over two years since theyst saw each other, and rissa looked a


    bit fuller now. Working in body shaping and cosmetic procedures, she now looked like a true socialite.


    "Zion, you''re finally back," rissa spoke, her voice slightly choked with emotion.


    She looked down at the little boy beside her and spoke softly, "Shane, say ''Daddy."


    The little boy seemed scared, hiding behind rissa. After a long pause, he finally called out to Zev, "Daddy."


    This y on family ties was brilliant.


    Kelly couldn''t deny it; rissa was indeed a very clever woman.


    A chill ran down Kelly''s spine. If only Zev hadn''t pulled that prank, if he hadn''t given Wade someone else''s sperm... Now, there was a child with a blood tie standing here calling Zev "Daddy." Even if there were no feelings between the parents, any normal person would soften, wouldn''t they?


    Kelly tightened her grip on Zev''s hand and looked up at him.


    Zev''s attitude was unwavering. "Who gave you permission toe here? Get


    out!"


    This was his parents'' house, the ce where he was born and raised. What right did rissa have to be here,


    to taint it?

    you''re doing it?"


    The butler and maid nervously lowered their heads, speaking in soft voices. "Mr. Zion... For the past two years, we couldn''t reach you... Mr. Wade came with Ms. Lynch, saying they were your wife and child, and that they were going to stay here."


    Zev''s expression darkened even more. "How long have they been staying here?"


    Hah... Two years ago, right after he went missing, rissa had already set her sights on his inheritance.


    This woman was ruthless.


    Not only did she want Wade''s things, but now she was after Zev''s inheritance too. She really had no limits!


    "Zion, Shane and I have lived here for over two years. It''s not Edward or Wi''s fault. Grandpa told us to- rissa said, her eyes red, looking as though she had been wronged.


    "Enough!" Zev snapped, his chest heaving with anger. He squeezed Kelly''s hand. "This ce is dirty. We''re leaving!"


    Kelly held onto Zev, shaking her head. "If anyone should leave, it''s them. Why should we leave?"


    If it''s dirty, clean it. Why let rissa take advantage of it?
