Chapter 1474:
âHoney, I missed you so muchâ¦â
As she spoke, her legs naturally wrapped around his waist.
âYouâre such a teasing little minx,â Rhys murmured, his voice rough with desire.
Despite the intensity of the moment, he remained tender in his movements. His large hand slid slowly under her clothes, taking his time, savoring every touch.
The following day, Rhys, Harlee, Patrick, and Thiago boarded the plane together.
Cillian and Robbie remained behind, handling Casperâs affairs.
Serena caught a flight back to Uwhor shortly after they took off, her mission at the Shadow Moon Society base calling her back for more experiments.
Meanwhile, in the Sanderson family estateâs living room, Lonnie and Nathaniel were playing with Felix. When they heard sounds from the doorway, they assumed it was one of Harleeâs brothers and didnât look up, casually saying, âDonât bother us while weâre playing with Felix.â
But then Harlee walked in, dressed in a relaxed brown outfit. She was tall, elegant, and striking, her face handsome in a way that turned heads.
Harlee approached Lonnie and Nathaniel, effortlessly lifting Felix from their arms. Her expression was serene, with a subtle warmth in her eyes as she gazed down at her son.
Having just landed, Harlee had been subjected to a barrage of complaints from her five brothers. They were upset about Lonnie and Nathaniel hogging Felix and not letting them have their turn. Tired of their incessant whining, Harlee had agreed to talk to Lonnie and Nathaniel about it.
As Felix was taken away, Lonnie instinctively felt like scolding, but the words caught in his throat when he saw Harlee. For a moment, he was speechless, struck by her presence. She was supposed to be abroad for several days, and he was puzzled as to why she had returned so soon.

Lonnie stood up and joined Harlee on the couch.
âLee, didnât you say you were going to be away for work? Everything okay? If thereâs anything wrong, you know you can always talk to meâ¦â
Although Lonnie was preoccupied with Felix, his deep love for his daughter remained at the forefront of his mind.
âEverythingâs fine,â Harlee answered, meeting his gaze.
âI wrapped up my work ahead of schedule.â
Lonnie was taken aback. His daughter was more capable than his five troublesome sons, though heâd almost forgotten that in his recent focus on Felix.
âWell done. Thatâs my girl. Are you staying at home, or heading somewhere else?â Lonnie asked, a hint of joy in his voice.
âIâm going to Remson Manor,â Harlee replied casually. She did her best to appear indifferent, gearing up for the talk she intended to have with her father and Nathaniel. But her fatherâs affection toward her was so palpable that her brothersâ complaints were pushed to the back of her mind.
âDad, Nathaniel, thanks for taking care of Felix these past few days,â Harlee said sincerely, offering a soft smile.
Nathaniel, who had been quiet until then, walked over happily, cooing to Felix, âFelâs such a good baby. Doesnât make a fuss with his great-grandfather, right?â
His voice was unnaturally high-pitched, a sharp contrast to his usual stern tone.
Harlee rubbed her forehead in exasperation. No wonder her brothers had complained. She could hardly stand it herself⦠Who could have imagined that the ruthless business tycoon, Nathaniel, could speak in such a sweet, playful tone with his great-grandson?
Rhys entered the house after finishing his work in the yard, only to find Harlee surrounded by Nathaniel and Lonnie doting on Felix, who was giggling in Harleeâs arms.
Rhys squeezed in, gently taking Felix from Harleeâs arms.
âLee, didnât you say you were going to see Tiffany?â
Harlee stood up, smiling.
âNathaniel, Dad, Iâm heading to the set to visit Tiffany.â
