Three years passed since then.

Somewhere in Florencia, inside a large modern villa, Celine lay on the bed, her long, delicate lashes resting against her cheeks. Her delicate face was smooth and gave off a soft, rosy glow that made her look irresistible.

Golden curtains cascaded onto the floor, and the warm morning sunlight filtered through, filling the room with a cozy glow.

Just then, the door creaked open.

A small, chubby toddler ran into the room and climbed onto the bed. She pressed her tiny face against Celine's cheek and gave her a big kiss.

With a sweet, childish voice, she announced, "Ding dong! Bella's wake-up service is now online. Mommy, it's time to get up!"

Bella was three years old now.

Three years ago, after returning to Florencia, Celine had given birth to her daughter, Bella.

Bella wore a pink princess dress, her round cheeks as soft as a freshly baked brioche. Her big, bright eyes sparkled, a perfect blend of her father's and mother's genes.

Celine slowly opened her eyes.

For the past three years, she had been a mother, and the happiest thing about her motherhood was waking up every morning to Bella's adorable little face.

She reached out and hugged Bella. "Bella, Mommy just performed surgery last night. It was a long one, so I slept in a little today."

Bella blinked her big, bright eyes. "Bella knows! That's why I played quietly by myself this morning to let you sleep longer. But Daddy Perry is here! He came to see you!"

Celine felt a wave of happiness surge out from within. Bella was her little angel. Perry was here? He usually didn't come over unless something was important.
