Chapter 162The morning at the Drake family mansion felt quieter than usual. Sunlight slowly filtered into Elena's care room, which was now at home, right next to Nathan's master bedroom. All the medical equipment was neatly arranged. Nathan sat in the chair beside the bed, his eyes fixed on his wife’s pale face, which still showed no signs of waking up. He held Elena’s thin hand tightly, as if hoping that his touch could wake her up.“Darling... you’ve been sleeping like this for a month now. Ellen and Edward are growing up so fast. Ellen starts smiling when approached, and Edward is more talkative...” Nathan gently strokes his wife’s hair. His voice sounds hoarse. “I miss you complaining... I even miss you getting angry.”The door to the room was knocked. Tamara entered carrying a tray with breakfast and the nurse’s health report.“Mr. Nathan, you need to eat first. You didn’t sleep again last night, did you?” Tamara asked softly.Nathan shook his head slowly. “Yes, I couldn’t slee

Elsewhere, Damian sat alone on the back porch of the Drake family mansion, a notebook open on his lap. The pencil in his hand moved slowly, sketching the interior of the café—long wooden tables, large windows, industrial pendant lights. Everything was already clear in the man's mind. "Damian!" Tamara's voice broke the silence. The woman came in carrying two cups of coffee, then sat down next to Damian. “Good morning, Tamara,” Damian replied, closing his notebook. “You were daydreaming, weren’t you? I had to call you three times.” Damian chuckled. “Not daydreaming, just... thinking about the future. I’m trying to come up with a concept for the café.” “Oh?” Tamara raised her eyebrows, intrigued. “A café?” “Yes,” Damian nodded. “I’ve been saving up for a long time, Tamara. Now I have enough money to start a business. I want to open a café that serves American, European, and Asian cuisine. A mix of everything... but still cozy. A comfortable place. The location also has to b

Chapter 166Two days after their conversation in Elena's hospital room, Damian and Tamara stood side by side on the main road in the city center. In front of them was a vacant lot that used to be an old bakery. The location was strategic—it was on a busy street corner, surrounded by offices and international schools.“What do you think?” Damian asked, folding his arms across his chest as he looked out at the open space.Tamara looked around. “The location is great. It’s on a corner, easy to access, and there’s plenty of parking. Perfect for a café.”Damian nodded. “I agree. I’ve checked the status of the land. The owner is willing to rent it out long-term. We just need to sign the contract and start building from scratch.”Tamara glanced at Damian. “Did you bring the initial design?”Damian opened his bag and took out the black sketchbook he always carried. He flipped through the pages filled with hand-drawn sketches—the building’s facade, table arrangements, an open kitchen, even a s

Chapter 168The sound of a baby crying echoed throughout the Drake family home. Ellyn and Edward were fussing more than usual. Sonia tried to rock Ellyn while pacing back and forth in the living room, while the babysitter struggled to calm Edward, who was crying even louder."Gosh, what's wrong with them, crying like this together?" Sonia complained, trying to pat Ellyn's back.“They’re usually not this chaotic,” the babysitter said anxiously. “They’re full, and their diapers are clean. But they’re still fussy.”Nathan had just come down from the second floor and heard the commotion. He immediately approached.“I’ll take Edward,” Nathan said, lifting the baby boy from the babysitter’s arms.Nathan hugged Edward tightly, trying to calm him down. But the baby’s crying didn’t subside. Ellyn also started crying louder, as if demanding more attention. “Oh, why are these twins so in sync?” Nathan muttered, holding Edward tighter. “Maybe... they miss their mother.”Sonia nodded slowly. “Ye

Chapter 170The evening sky began to turn orange as Damian and Tamara drove Katty, Delya, and Alva back to the Drake family residence. Damian's car slowed to a stop in the front yard. As soon as the door opened, the three children jumped out excitedly."Yay, we're home!" Katty exclaimed, holding Delya's hand.“Thank you, Aunt Tamara!” Delya said, turning back with a wide smile.Tamara waved goodbye with a smile. “You’re welcome, dear.”Alva, who had been carried by Damian throughout the journey because he had fallen asleep, began to wake up and rubbed his eyes.“We’re here, Boy,” Damian whispered softly.Alva nodded slightly, then suddenly turned to Tamara. “Aunt Tamara, don’t go home yet.” Tamara looked at Damian, then back at Alva. “Auntie has to go home, dear. But Auntie will come back to play here again, I promise.” Damian leaned down and whispered in Alva’s ear. “Let’s give Aunt Tamara a hug first.”Alva immediately hugged Tamara with her small arms. “I love you, Auntie...”
