But now, their families had started a new business partnership.
Wesley replied in a t tone, “Long time no see.”
“Shall we talk?” Johan raised his eyebrows in invitation.
Wesley agreed, “Mm.”
But he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he helped Cecilia to a nearby chair to rest.
He softly reminded her, “Wait for me toe back.”
He gently touched Cecilia’s hair, then left with Johan to just outside the door.
Johan remarked with some surprise, “I’m happy to see you have someone you cherish so much now.”
Thinking back on the past, it all seemed a bit reckless and youthful
now.
Wesley didn’t respond to that, only asking, “Now that you’re back, Larissa is very happy.”
Larissa had returned to the country because of a fight with Johan.
But she still liked Johan.
Wesley hoped she would get what she wished for.
Johan leisurely lit a cigarette. “I know.”

The swirling smoke blurred his handsome face.
“When do you n to settle things?” Wesley asked.
Back then, they had gone abroad together in a whirlwind, their feelings deep.
Johan exhaled a puff of smoke with a bit of a roguish air.
“What about you? Do you still like her?”
Wesley didn’t like Johan’s attitude–it wasn’t steady enough.
But he had always been this way, wild and unruly.
That was exactly what Larissa liked about him.
“Johan, you should know that Larissa is my sister now. You can’t let her down.”
Johan neither agreed nor disagreed, only looking inside from afar. “Wes, now that you have someone you love, you should focus on her, not other women.”
In Wesley’s eyes, Cecilia was someone he liked, so naturally, he would take care of her.
But Larissa was his sister, so he ought to look after her as well.
“Johan, I’m just asking you for an answer on Larissa’s behalf.”
Johan lowered his eyes,/lost in thought about something.
Wesley’s heart sank slightly. “Johan, what exactly do you mean?”
Johan stubbed out his cigarette, the corners of his eyes lifting ever so slightly.

He said nothing, and Wesley couldn’t guess what he was thinking.
He simply said, “If our two families must form a marriage alliance, you and Larissa would be a good match.”
Most cooperative rtionships ended up with a marriage alliance.
He and Juniper were impossible, so let Johan and Larissa be the ones.
Johan pressed his tongue against his teeth. Wesley was still as domineering as ever.
He wanted everything arranged ording to his own wishes.
“We’ll see.” He didn’t refuse.
Wesley was dissatisfied with this answer, but when it came to matters of the heart, meddling too much would only make things worse.
He patted Johan on the shoulder. “When do you n toe back?”
This time, Johan had only returned temporarily for some business; in a few days, he would have to leave again.
If the two families were to form a marriage alliance, Johan would have to shift his work focus back to the country.
Johan’s expression grew more serious. “As soon as possible.”
“When youe back next time, I’ll throw a wee party for you.”
“Alright.”
After a period of estrangement, both sides had now taken a step back, quietly mending their rtionship.
The two finished their conversation and headed back.

Cecilia was a bit tired, but she still forced herself to stand up.
Up ahead, Luciano was teaching a very young child to kowtow to Bonnie.
The child was very small, but he kowtowed with perfect decorum.
“Great–grandma, Noah hase to see you.”
His childish voice was adorable, but his face was pale, and he wore a hat on his head.
“Luciano?” Johan recognized him.
He looked at the child. “Noah?”
Noah thought for a moment. “Johan.”
He turned around and threw himself into Cecilia’s arms, looking up and obediently calling out, “Mommy.”
A smile appeared on Cecilia’s pale face as she patted Noah’s head. She had been so busytely that she hadn’t paid much attention to Noah’s health.
“Noah, have you been good and taken your medicine on time like the doctor said?”
Noah stood obediently, hooking his finger around Cecilia’s and refusing to let go.
Johan nced at Wesley, clearly just watching the show.
Thanks to Juniper’s constant phone calls, he know almost everything that had happened back home.

reluctant, he forced himself to act gentle. “Noah.”
Noah immediately greeted him politely. “Wesley.”
Wesley squatted down and gently hugged him. “Would you like toe y at my house, Noah?”
Since Cecilia refused to rest, he could only use Noah.
Noah thought for a moment. “Will Mommye too?”
“Of course.”
Noah looked at his father, his little face full of pleading.
