Therge screen behind them disyed several handwritten letters, causing an audible murmur of surprise among the audience. To everyone''s


    astonishment, they were love letters Merrick had written to Freya! No wonder they had never been made public. Written with a fountain pen, each


    letter was filled with profound affection. Though not a single word explicitly mentioned missing one another, the depth of love between the elderly


    couple was palpably felt.


    Freya blushed slightly. "Why bring these out now..." she muttered, slightly embarrassed


    Oran, with a chuckle, said, "My deardy. Merrick ns to publish these as a gift to you!”


    Back in their younger days, both were incredibly busy, with Freya spending most of her time in theb. It was Merrick who had raised their daughter


    Sienna almost single-handedly! In those highly confidential settings wheremunication was restricted, they had resorted to letters.


    Noe''s gaze fell on Kent, who seemed quite uneasy amidst the crowd. "This gentleman can''t exactly be used of giarism, more like


    ‘inspiration’. But such obvious borrowing hardly seems fitting for disy here, does it?”


    Spotting the name signed on those letters and standing next to Merrick, Oriana suddenly realized... This was none other than the literary giant, Mr.


    Merrick! Her righteous indignation moments ago now felt awkwardly misced


    Kent, who worked in ancient text research and was more of an amateur essayist. was visibly embarrassed by the call-out. He turned to Oriana, "This


    is your fault. Why would you say that here? Don''t you know how to pick your moments? Is this the ce to embarrass yourself?"


    Oriana was deeply hurt. Little did she know, Kent''s essays were mereptions from various sources..


    Seeing the letters disyed, Freya''s eyes welled up with tears. "I never imagined you kept all these."


    "How could I throw them away? Even if the letters are gone, the love remains," Merrick responded warmly.


    Noe asked, "Grandpa, if these were your private correspondences with Grandma, how did someone else manage to use them as inspiration?"


    Merrick waved his hand dismissively. "Years ago, some of my writing was used as study material at their institute. Kent, being into ancient and rural


    literature, probably came across them then. It''s no big deal."


    To Merrick, these matters were trivial. At their stage in life, fame and rivalry held little importance.


    Freya teased, “Don''t be fooled by this old man''s calm demeanor now. If it were about you guys, his temper res up in an instant!"


    When ra was bullied at the research institute, Merrick immediately donned his award ceremony suit, brandishing all his medals, to confront the


    institute in defense of his granddaughter.


    The couple was soon called away by familiar researchers.

    Shocked, Linnea offered, "Let me apany you."


    In the guest suite upstairs, ramented, “It''s a pity. This dress was made by Noe for me... I wanted to wear it to meet my idol.”


    The doorbell rang, and Annie appeared, carrying several dresses. "Mr. Pock sent me with these."


    The summit’s hosting hotel belonged to the Pock Group!


    Annie winked at Noe, "Mr. Pock is aware of the incident and will join you shortly.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Despite his busy schedule, Palmer made time for video calls with Noe, often working together. Their unique way of ‘dating’ impressed Annie, who


    admired Noe as the perfect match for Mr. Pock.


    Annie, daydreaming about her uing vacation, knew how rare it was for Palmer to make time for such events, highlighting the importance of


    Noe in his life.


    Annie whispered, "Helen and Lucian made it too, they''re over in the main hall, along with Mr. Pock and all your folks, and a couple of the Schnabel


    brothers showed up as well.”


    By Noe''s folks, she obviously meant those thrill-seekers from Pris Star who never miss a chance for some drama. It wasn''t surprising that the

    As Noe bent down to adjust ra''s dress, adding a unique touch with just a few simple safety pins, she responded. “Alright. I''ll head over in a bit."
