He didn't look at Beatrice, his profile had an indescribable sense of suppression. Without saying anything, Beatrice just left.

Beatrice walked away and took a deep breath before turning around to look.

At this moment, Caden had already entered the hall.

After seeing Bella's smile, he smiled faintly.

Beatrice turned her head and looked up at the sunlight, her face wet and cold.

The last time.

Finally, one last time.

By the time Odin came out, she had already fixed her makeup.

She pursed her lips and said, "That your father..."

Odin laughed out loud and said, "Don't be so nervous. My dad has always been open-minded. He said a long time ago that he wouldn't interfere with my relationships. He and my mom also had a love story of their own. After my mom passed away, he had a hard time moving on for a while, so he understands the importance of emotions even more."

"What did he say to you?"

"I inquired about your situation and asked for my opinion. He said he would respect me but hoped that I would be more cautious and consider the situations I would have to face in the future."

Odin answered straightforwardly, it was clear that he was quoting Asher's exact words. Although Asher

But rather, I hope they dealt with it themselves.

Beatrice's suspended heart slowly fell instead.

Odin noticed the redness in Beatrice's eyes and chuckled, "Why are you crying again? Can't bear to part with me?"

Beatrice thought for a moment, afraid that Odin would overthink, and also afraid that Bella would find out and come to remind her.

She hinted, "Encountered a lunatic, got scared."

Odin pondered silently, refraining from asking further questions.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

"Okay."

Beatrice followed him as he left.

The hotel lobby was bustling with people coming and going.

before, he now had a touch of gloom and danger on him.

No one dared to approach, yet it carried a deadly allure.

He watched the two people leaving outside the gate, thinking about the eight years that Beatrice had mentioned.

Because in the dream, she and that little girl also died eight years later.

So real.

In that dream, he could even feel the coldness of the tombstone.

"Mr. Caden, Angie said with a calculating smile on her face, "from now on,

we entrust our

to you."

Caden didn't speak, his silence was terrifying.

Xander impatiently said, "Ms. Lezon was talking to you."

Upon hearing the sound, Caden woke up as if from a dream and looked at the magnificent hall, as well as

his father who stood before him, full of arrogance.

His face grew colder, and his gaze swept indifferently over Angie.

"Ms. Lezon, didn't you have anything to do?"

in her heart, her face stiffened and she remained speechless.

"I had something to do, so I left."

"Caden!" Xander felt humiliated and shouted angrily.

Caden didn't even stop for a moment and walked straight out.

Others dared not stop him.

After Caden got on the car, Bella also got on.

On the way, the two of them sat at opposite ends, neither of them spoke.

Finally, Bella couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer and took the initiative to move her body closer to Caden.

"Mr. Caden, don't be angry. I know Lucia's words were a bit harsh this time, but that's just her personality. She says whatever comes to her mind without any ill intentions. Please don't take it to heart for my sake."

"I think after this time, she definitely won't dare to listen to hearsay anymore. Bella smiled and swayed Caden's arm, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.
