In the Saunders family, in the study on the second floor.


    rence put the phone on the desk, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it up and anxiously took a puff.


    The smoke blurred his vicissitudes face.


    In recent days, he hadn’t slept well and was in low spirits. rence had lost much weight.


    His daughter’s wedding was just around the corner and he had guessed countless times when and where would Ivan arrest him.


    In his workspace?


    At home?


    On the road?


    Would he have him arrested right after the wedding?


    Or would he spare him for a few more days?


    These questions lingered in his mind, giving him a heavy pressure. He could not escape, if he escaped now, his daughter’s wedding would be ruined.


    In fact, for rence, one more day of freedom was equal to one more day of suffering. He felt like living inside a cage.


    Maybe only in prison could he finally sleep soundly.


    Downstairs in the kitchen, the chefs were busy. Shirley specially asked them to make a few dishes that Finnley loved.


    “Ma’am, you are really considerate. You have never even asked his preferences,” Pa praised her.


    Shirley relied with a smile, “He will spend a lifetime with Mya and I need to know his preferences. I’m sure he will love these dishes, make more of them.”


    “Yes, ma’am,” said Pa. “It’s hot in the kitchen, you should wait in the living room. I will watch it for you.”


    Shirley looked inside, “Thank you then, Pa. Remember not to put any ginger.”


    “Got it!”


    Shirley walked to the living room and saw renceing down from upstairs. “rence, don’t you need to go to work today?” She had thought he was gone.


    “Not for the next two days. Chester will take care of everything.”


    “You really trust him.” Shirley took his arm, smelled smoke and frowned, “Why did you smoke again? I thought you didn’t like smoking.”


    Before she got an answer, a white Maybach was parked in the yard.


    “Mya is back.” rence whispered.


    Shirley turned her eyes and hurried toward the door of the living room. She went to the yard and soon came in with the young couple.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Mya and Finnley smiled happily, and greeted them after entering the house.


    “Come home for dinner when you are free after marriage,” Shirley was delighted to see them, “Anyway, it’s not far away. You are our only daughter, you will always be the apple of our eye.”


    “I will, mom.” Mya agreed.


    “Where did you get this bracelet? It’s gorgeous!” Shirley was sharp-eyed, she took her daughter’s hand and said, “It seemed like an antique. Did you just buy it?”


    “Finnley’s mother gave it to me. His grandmother gave it to her 30 years ago and she had been wearing it.”


    “Oh!” She got it. It had been passed on from generation to generation. The Russell family had really taken her as family now.


    Shirley was delighted and suddenly felt a bit sorry when her eyes fell on Finnley, “I didn’t prepare any gift for Finnley…”


    “Mrs. Saunders, you don’t have to,” Finnley was smart and held Mya’s shoulder, saying in a gentle voice, “Mya is the best gift from you. Thank you for bringing her into the world.”


    Then he looked at rence, “I will not fail Mya and will love her for the rest of my life. I will protect her with my life no matter what happens.”


    Shirley was moved while rence felt heartbroken when he looked into Finnley’s eyes.


    He couldn’t protect his own daughter anymore…
