Gwendolyn’s fierce gaze engrossed Nico so much that he asked in a daze, “What do you mean?”

Crinkling her eyes in a smile, she replied, “The banquet taking place a few days from now will definitely be entertaining.”

Not only was she going to make Gerhardt agree to work with her, but she was also going to break the surprising news of her possible pregnancy to Charles.

Nico glanced at her pretty face and began to feel uneasy.

Back in Chanaea, a sleepless night loomed in Harrick Villa.

Early the next morning, Treyton listlessly propped his cheek in the palm of his hand as he ate his breakfast. His expression was gloomy, and there were dark circles under his eyes

At that moment, Kieran walked down the stairs.

Treyton immediately looked up at him.

Kieran still looked unbelievably calm and aloof as ever. It did not appear as though he had missed any sleep last night.

“You know, Kieran, I really envy the fact that you never take anything to heart,” Treyton remarked.

Kieran stayed silent and walked to his seat, where he began to eat breakfast quietly,

After the two of them were done eating, Treyton got up to bring Cedrick’s breakfast upstairs. He had just reached the staircase when he heard a commotion coming from the entrance outside the garden.

“They came so soon? Here I was thinking that we’d finally be able to enjoy a quiet breakfast for once,” Treyton grumbled.

Halting in his tracks, he was prepared to go out and take a look. However, Kieran stopped him by instructing, “I’ll go. You should bring Cedrick’s breakfast to him.”

“All right.”

Treyton opened the door to the master bedroom and found that Cedrick had woken up and was fully dressed. The latter stood ramrod straight by the floor–to–ceiling window, listening closely to the noise outside through the curtains.

“Kieran is taking care of it. You should ignore it and have your breakfast first,” Treyton urged.

Cedrick did not say anything, nor did he move. Holding his arm, Treyton guided him to a chair.

Meanwhile, a large group of people showed up at the gate.
