<b>Chapter </b><b>258 </b>
With <b>Amelia’s </b>word, Landon had no choice but to take Ka over to Tuff’s ce.
<b>To </b>settle down, Tuff bought a luxury, fully furnished penthouse apartment in Norava.
He had originally nned to buy a vi, but since Ka wanted to enjoy the lively city life, they ended up choosing <b>a </b>penthouse on the top floor in the downtown district.
From there, they could take in the bustling city traffic and lights, yet it was still peaceful enough.
Knowing Ka wasing over, Tuff showed up early and waited right at the entrance of the neighborhood.
“Ka, I made your favorite lobster and

practically dripping with honey.
picked up some wine…” The look in Tuff’s eyes was so sweet and tender that it was
Late–night snacks, wine, and a gorgeous woman, anyone with half a brain could tell exactly what Tuff was after.
Landon couldn’t help but feel a little salty.
After living in a vi for so long, Amelia started missing the lively city life too. She turned to him and said, “Honey, how about we get ourselves a penthouse too?”
“No problem.” He pursed his lips, a smug glint shing in his eyes.
He’d actually had his eye on the unit right below Tuff’s ce for a while! If they bought it, he could go upstairs or downstairs to see Ka anytime he wanted.
Of course, he wouldn’t actually be living there all the time. But just being neighbors would be enough to keep Tuff in check and make sure he didn’t dare mess with Ka.
“You guys should buy somewhere else, not right next to us,” Tuff immediately protested.
At the Flying Tiger Sect, he had to take orders from Landon. But in his personal life, there was no way he was going to let Landon boss him around.
And he would be Landon’s brother–inw soon!
“We’re buying here,” Landon said, raising an eyebrow, his mischievous intentions clear as
day.
Tuff could tell Landon wasn’t joking this time, and he was so mad that his face practically turned green. “Honey, do you see what he’s doing…”
“Landon, you guys should really pick somewhere else,” Ka said.
Landon was speechless.
Amelia nearly cracked upughing. Trying to y peacemaker, she said, “Ka, how about we get the building next door? W**** just bring the baby over every now and then, promise we won’t crash your ce.”
“That works,” Ka agreed.
Ka and Tuff linked arms and headed back into the neighborhood.

<b>“</b><b>Actually</b><b>, </b>Ka could get some cosmetic work done on her face,” Amelia said softly.
‘Her wedding would be perfect if she got her face fixed first, Amelia thought to herself.
“I’ve tried to talk her into it, but she just won’t do it. Let her make her own choice! If Tuff ever dares toin, I’ll break his local Landon said.
“Gosh! Don’t be so violent to your future brother–inw,” Amelia teased.
Amelia leaned against the car window, watching the city go by outside with a rxed smile.
Neon lights flickered everywhere. The city was lit up with nightlife, and traffic flowed endlessly.
At nine at night, the streets were alive–some people hurrying by, others just taking their time.
After everything, they finally had some peace in their lives.
“What are you thinking about?” Landon asked, turning his head to look at her.
It was rare for him to see Amelia so at ease, and seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but rx too.
“I was just thinking how good life is now,” Amelia said. “No more chaos in the underworld, no more living by the sword.”
“That whole Aunt Shelby situation still isn’t over!” Landon snorted.
Ever since he found out Shelby was the one who kidnapped Ka, Landon’d been stewing about it.
But for the moment, he just had to keep it bottled up..
“At the end of the day, it’s just some family drama–really nothing to worry about,” Amelia said with a lightugh.
Landon just snorted.
Once everything was cleared up, he was determined to cut ties with the Ger family for good–never have anything to do with them again.
But Amelia was right. Compared to all the bloodshed and chaos they’d survived, this Aunt Shelby thing was really nothing at all. “How about in a couple of years, when our son is a bit older, we try for a little girl? That way, he could be her protector,” Landon suggested.
His biggest regret in life was always being the younger brother–he never got the chance to really look out for Ka.
If they had a daughter, maybe he could finally make up for that by being the kind of big brother who would always have his little sister’s back.
Amelia knew exactly what he was thinking.
She gave him a mischievous grin. “Are you sure about that? If we have another one, you’ll have to go without for over
Landon frowned. “Then, forget it<b>!</b>”

He thought, ‘Sometimes you gotta be selfish. Your own happinesses first.‘
“You’re hopeless!” Amelia giggled, her clear, brightughter drifting out into the night air.
‘I knew it would end up like this!‘ Amelia thought.
Landon called Aaron. “I want all the info you can get on Marvin’s business.”
“Honey, didn’t Ka say she’d look into it?” Amelia said in surprise. “The Ger family is way too small to handle youing after them in business.”
“I know. Let’s just check things out first, then decide what to do,” Landon replied.
“Okay, fine!” Amelia said.
A few dayster, Ka and Aaron both showed up with some big news at the same time.
“Aunt Shelby… she’s actually in love with our dad…” Ka said, her voice trailing off in disbelief.
