?Chapter 834:
His smile deepened, eyes softening. “We were over the moon. That same day, we started thinking about names. After a lot of back-and-forth, we decided on Elliana, a name associated with positivity, grace, and brilliance. We hoped you’d grow with endless love.”
Elliana listened quietly, her mind painting the scene of her father’s hand resting on her mother’s belly, the two of them leaning close, voices hushed but brimming with joy as they spoke of the baby toe. A couplepletely wrapped up in the magic of expecting their daughter.
“I can back that up,” Milton chimed in with a grin. “At that time, I was already six, sticking with Mom and Dad the whole time. When they told me I was getting a baby sister, I couldn’t stop smiling. And yes, I helped pick your name too.”
Elliana’s lips curved into a soft smile as she sank a little deeper into Arthur’s arms, unwilling to let go. She shifted slightly, settling into the embrace as though it was a ce she had always belonged.
Milton’s voice lingered in her thoughts, and the image in her mind expanded to a rosy-cheeked little boy perched beside his parents, chattering with excitement as they debated names for his soon-to-arrive sister.
It was a moment she had never seen, yet imagining it filled her with warmth soplete that it almost ached. Her arrival in the world had not been by chance. It had been awaited with anticipation before she even took her first breath.
The father and daughter stayed wrapped in each other’s arms for a long while. “Elliana! Let me look at you properly!” Atst, Arthur pulled back just enough to study her face, his hands cupping her face with careful gentleness.
She didn’t resist. Tilting her chin slightly, she let him study her as ifmitting every feature to memory.
While he examined her, she took the chance to do the same. Up close, he was different. From afar, he was the tall,manding figure she had seen earlier. But standing this close, she saw the details: the smooth, bright skin, the striking lines of his face, theplete absence of even a single wrinkle.

She beamed. No wonder her mother had loved him so deeply. He wasn’t just handsome. He was a man of devotion, passion, talent, and capability. The sort of man whose presence couldmand a room, yet whose tenderness could make a woman feel like the center of his world.
Arthur’s suddenugh pulled her from her thoughts. “You really are my daughter,” he said warmly. “The resemnce is uncanny. And just so you know…” His eyes gleamed with pride. “I intend to pass the entire Sun Group to you.”
Elliana blinked, momentarily stunned. Her father wanted to hand over the entire Sun Group to her? Hold on a second. Wasn’t this decision too hasty? A bit too reckless? He’d only just met her, barely knew who she was or what she was capable of, yet here he was, ready to entrust her with a global empire. Wasn’t he worried she might mess it all up? And what about Milton? He’d been loyal to the Sun Group for years. Had Dad even thought about how Milton might feel hearing this?
Her eyes flicked toward Milton. To her surprise, he was grinning like a kid who’d just won the lottery. He was something else. Here she was, about to inherit a corporate giant, and he wasn’t the least bit jealous or ready to throw a fit.<fnb97b> Th?s chapter is updated by Find_Novel(.</fnb97b>
“Dad, you’ve got to be kidding,” Elliana said, a yful smile tugging at her lips. But Arthur’s gaze stayed steady, unwavering. “I’m serious. When I say it’s yours, it’s yours. No questions.”
Elliana blinked, stunned. “Aren’t you worried I might mess things up? Tank everything?”
