Hamilton eyed the woman before him.

She seemed transformed: more mature, confident, and even more captivating than before.

Yet, in a way, she seemed unchanged-still the woman who once nestled in his arms, questioning if he could safeguard their future together.

He sensed she had something to convey.

Otherwise, given her disposition, she wouldn't have initiated a conversation with him.

Now, he was at a loss for words.

He longed for her to draw nearer, yet feared getting too close might hurt her.

"How have you been?" Hamilton asked, feeling a twinge of sorrow.

He was aware that her recent years had been anything but easy.

Upon arriving in Landeia, she had to see a therapist nearly every week.

Even now, she relied on sleeping pills to find rest at night.

Hamilton's heart ached; he wished he could embrace her, reassuring her that their Amora was safe.

Yet, he restrained himself.

The Fowler family had seen better days.

But the worse things got, the more fierce the backlash they faced.

Neither the old man nor Spencer were to be underestimated.

Spencer was ruthless, wishing Hamilton dead, while Westley still hoped for his return to helm the Fowler family, viewing Amor Group merely as an extension of their empire.

And then there was the Powell family.

Though the Powell family had been quiet, Delilah made sure to remind everyone of her presence now and then.

Hamilton hadn't expected Natalia to return so soon.

He had hoped for two more years to level the old Fowler dynasty and carve out a new realm for her and their daughter.

But she had chosen this moment to come back.

"Not too bad," Natalia murmured in reply.

Hamilton chuckled, nodding. After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "The man earlier, is he your boyfriend?"

Natalia just looked at him, prompting a bitter smile from Hamilton. "I overstepped, didn't I?"

With that, he glanced at her and walked away.
