“When you opened the door of the Cayenne earlier, did the hand that reached out feel familiar to you?” Odalys asked again.
Percival’s fingers tightened around the water cup in his hand as the image of that arm reaching out replayed in his mind
Percival finally said, “It was my father’s hand. He loved coffee, always holding a cup. Over time, the heat left faint marks on his fingertips.”
Recalling the scene, those hands had forcefully pushed him and Olalys back Percival frowned. A strange feeling swelled in his chest. It was stifling and uncomfortable.
“Percival wondered if his father. Morpheus, was trying to save him. He wanted to alter the trajectory of events, but it would come with a cost. Hence, his father stopped him.
“You’re saying the person who p
pushed you out of the time tunnel was your father?” Evander’s voice grew hoarse.
“Though Evander appeared composed, his tone betrayed his emotions.
“Yes,” Percival said.
“Onson rubbed his smooth chin, a hint of confusion flashing across his striking features, “So, why did the time tunnel appear tonight in the first place!
Odalys stayed silent, seated quietly as the events they had just experienced replayed in her mind, looping over and over, each detail magnified.

“Maybe the Stewart family’s ancestors left a safeguard,” Odalys added. She wasn’t sure if her hunch was right, but the feeling was undeniable. “What do you mean? Percival asked, his heartbeat quickening. A faint sense of hope sparked within him as if something miraculous might happen. No matter what it was, it had to be good.
Odalys turned her head and looked at him.
“Her gaze met his eyes. For a moment, it felt as if their souls touched, revealing their innermost thoughts.

Her gaze darted between Odalys and Percival, already crafting an entire modern romance novel in her head featuring a domineering CEO and his fated love.
I don’t know. Maybe,” Odalys replied lightly.
the previous timeline, she never had the chance to meet Percival before her death, though he came to collect her body afterward.
“Around the 1920s, the couple tragically died during their wedding.
It seemed something had happened then to make someone want to kill both her and Percival. And in this timeline, everything seemed to revolve
around the Stewart family.
“Odalys couldn’t figure out what she meant to the Stewart family.
“No matter how it all came to be, at least you two got married, and Percival successfully dispelled the misfortune! That is a good thing. Odalys, you are not only a blessing to the Stewart family but also to the Lark family Clarence said warmly.
“Come, let’s not dwell on it Let’s have a drink,” he added, pouring himself a glass
Seeing this, Evander perked up as well

Orson drove Clarence home.
“Sienna and Dangelo returned to the hospital since Dangelo’s condition had yet to fully recover, and he refrained from drinking tonight.
“Harvey and Celeste stood by the entrance, watching as Percival drove away
“Blossomn, leaning against the wall nearby, gazed at Percival’s departing car and murmured, “Mom, I feel like Percival and Odalys have a mysterious connection”
Just now, I kept getting this strange feeling. They don’t seem like a couple who just got married to dispel bad luck. It feels like their bond runs deep It’s like they’ve shared a long and profound history together,” she added quietly.
Celeste, hearing this, tapped her daughter’s forehead lightly.
“You’ve been reading too many romance novels. Your brain’s full of nonsense! You’ve always been overly sensitive, thinking up all sorts of wild Bangs Celeste cluded, though her tone was indulgent.
Harvey didn’t argue but gave a slight nod instead.
“If the time tunnel is real, and the junction of energy does exist, then what Blossom said isn’t entirely impossible. Regardless, our Tillery family must do everything we can to help the Stewart family through this calamity Harvey said after a moment of thought
“If the Stewart family falls, the entire Crownridge could collapse with it. Our family wouldn’t be able to stay safe either. The people involved in this have far–reaching influence. We must be vigilant,” he continued, his gaze sharp and calculating-
“As a busursiman, lus insights were naturally precise.

“Harvey remained silent, standing quietly where he was. He looked up at the sky, noticing how the once–clear night had been swallowed by looming dark clouds
“It seems like a storm is coming. I hope everyone is safe,” he said, his tone laden with meaning.
“Though his words seemed to be a monologue, they were a warning to himself, a reminder to tread carefully. He only hoped that the choice he made this time would protect the Tillery family
