Chapter 901: All of This Belongs to Him

On New Year’s Eve, countless lights brightened the entire land of America.

Of course, there were also many workers who silently stood by their posts during the festive season, ensuring the normal operation of the whole society.

We offer them our sincerest thanks.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family gathered in the living room to watch the New Year’s Eve broadcast.

Two little ones crawled around on the floor, their laughter constant.

Despite being only about half a year old, the two little ones were quite courageous.

...

They weren’t scared at all by the loud sounds of firecrackers and fireworks outside.

The little over two-year-old Athena Cole followed behind the two toddlers with a red envelope in each hand.

At Ethan Cole’s house, the red envelopes for the children were all in the form of checks.

The minimum was one million.

After watching TV for a while, Karen Cole gave Robert Cole a seductive glance in secret.

The couple hadn’t done “that” for a long time.

Robert Cole’s body shuddered, and he began to dodge her gaze.

He was, after all… willing but unable now.

Unless a couple of eighteen-year-old beauties were there to help him.

Without saying another word, Karen Cole pulled Robert Cole up, saying to the others, “We didn’t sleep well last night, so we’re going back to our room to rest, okay?”

Robert Cole wanted to object, but meeting Karen Cole’s fierce gaze, he held back.

He could only send a pleading look to Ethan Cole.

Ethan Cole pretended not to see it.

Robert Cole was in despair.

After a while, Ethan Cole said to his sister, “Athena Cole, it’s time to go to sleep now.”

His sister was quite bold as well.

She had been sleeping on her own since she was two.

“I want to play with my little niece for a little while longer,” Athena Cole pleaded as she gazed at Ethan Cole.

She hadn’t had enough fun yet.

Ethan Cole didn’t say a word, but got up to grab his slippers.

Frightened, Athena Cole rushed back to her own bedroom on her little short legs.

“Don’t bully her,” Grace Bennett stood up for her little sister-in-law, “She’s still young.”

Ethan Cole argued with conviction, “That’s why it’s fun to pick on her while she’s young.”

Daphne Reyes pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

Grace Bennett threatened to tattle to their parents.

Ethan Cole immediately raised his hands in surrender on the spot.

Now Grace Bennett was the supreme empress in the house.

If she went to complain, Ethan Cole wouldn’t die but he’d surely lose a layer of skin.

Grace Bennett went to Athena Cole’s bedroom to help her close the windows and tuck her into bed before coming out.

“Ah,” Daphne Reyes sighed softly, “everyone is scattered across the country, and it’s hard to know when we can all gather together again.”

Perhaps, that was the price of growth.

Back when everyone’s careers weren’t so developed, they would gather together for the holidays.

Everyone would happily gather to chat, boast, and play.

Ethan Cole felt somewhat dazed.

The past couple of years had indeed been happier and more joyful than now.

The atmosphere suddenly turned sentimental.

“It’s okay, we’ll be together in the future,” Ethan Cole said.

After he had built his ideal kingdom, he would invite all his good friends there.

He’d give them land, houses, resources.

He’d pull them all into the business together.

During the New Year period, Ethan Cole rested only for the three days of New Year’s Eve, and the first and second day of the new year.

Then he plunged back into his hectic work.

After the Lantern Festival, he took a group of people on a cargo ship to Harvestland.

This time, they were transporting the “Sea-Calming Pillar.”

Some of the operators and technicians were directly provided by the government.

However, Ethan Cole had the launch commands; only he knew how to initiate it.

This time, twenty cargo ships were dispatched.

All were loaded with various basic materials and building supplies, and so on.

This trip cost Ethan Cole over ten billion.

It just so happened to use up the money Chloe Winters had given him last time.

After several days of long journey, they finally arrived at Harvestland.

By then, Harvestland had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Skyscrapers were rising from the ground.

The greenery coverage had been greatly increased.

There were wide asphalt roads everywhere.

One bridge after another was being constructed.

The once-dry riverbeds now teemed with water again.

Universities, high schools, primary schools, and even kindergartens were built aplenty.

All the building constructions were outsourced to top domestic construction companies.

Not only was their efficiency high, but the quality was also good.

Most importantly, it was cheap.

An airport was also under construction, estimated to be completed before the New Year next year.

By then, we could purchase planes locally and initiate direct flights.

Future travel time could be greatly reduced.

Currently, there were five industrial parks across the country.

One hundred and twenty super-large grain silos had also been built.

That’s how our people are.

No matter where they go, their first concern is always food.

There must be a stockpile of food to feel secure.

Ethan Cole was no different.

Once these one hundred and twenty super grain silos were built and filled, they would be enough to feed ten million people for three years.

The grain was purchased from Nordkren and Meridia.

It was cheap enough and of decent quality.

Then, for some everyday items, we introduced production lines from home and started manufacturing them ourselves.

In addition, we were also vigorously building wetland parks.

Ethan Cole’s goal was to build thirty wetland parks nationwide.

Moreover, we planned to create some famous tourist attractions to attract foreign visitors.

Harvestland might lack many things, but it also had its uniqueness.

That was the abundant seafood around its seas, so plentiful that it could never be fully consumed.

All the way there, Ethan Cole drove with the windows down, looking at the scenery outside.

How should I put it?

The contrast between the past and present was huge.

It was like comparing the rural areas of our own country from the 1980s to the metropolises of the 21st century.

Once everything was built, Ethan Cole could make it public.

With his popularity back home, attracting tourists to visit would be simple.

The biggest problem now was the lack of population.

Even including the natives, there were only twenty to thirty thousand people.

Of course, many natives who had fled wanted to return, but Ethan Cole refused them.

He didn’t need so many natives.

After all, “Those not of our race, their hearts must be different.”

It was better to make the majority of the population America people.

It was also easier to manage that way.

Currently, America was divided into one primary city, or a first-tier city.

Five secondary cities.

Thirty-six counties and cities.

Two hundred rural areas.

Roughly estimating, the city could accommodate up to twenty million people living here at the same time.

Any more than that would become crowded.

Unless land reclamation was done in the future.

The main city, Ethan Cole directly named ‘Kingsport’.

The City of the Cole Family.

Every national office chose a name for its headquarters.

Like something Palace, something Hall, and the like.

For Harvestland, Ethan Cole chose the name: ‘Sovereign Hall.’

Yes, meaning ‘Everyone As Majestic As Dragons.’

Although in reality, it was unlikely to be achieved.

But the connotation had to be profound enough.

Arriving at Sovereign Hall.

The overall construction was now in its final countdown.

The progress was faster than Ethan Cole had anticipated.

Possibly by June or July, it could be completely finished.

Seeing all the scenery along the way, Ethan Cole couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride and ambition.

All this belonged to him!

Chapter 902: The Third Child, Rhett Cole

This was the super shelter he built for himself, for Grace Bennett, and for their future generations.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already March.

The completion of the basic infrastructure in Harvestland had reached thirty-five percent.

Ethan Cole had not returned during this time.

He was deeply involved in commanding various projects in Harvestland.

So much so that there wasn’t enough time to sleep every day.

...

Grace Bennett was also five months pregnant by now.

He felt extremely guilty for not being able to accompany her every day.

Only after finishing work late at night could he make a video call to chat.

“Hubby, you need to take more rest, aren’t you skipping meals?”

At night, as usual, the two of them had a video call.

Grace Bennett’s heart ached seeing Ethan Cole with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes on the screen.

“I have,” Ethan Cole grinned and said, “I’m fine here, don’t worry about me. It’s just that there’s no time to take care of myself.”

“That being the case…” Grace Bennett bit her lip and said, “why don’t you send some work over to me? I’ll see if I can handle it for you?”

Ethan Cole shook his head: “What you need to do right now is to take good care of the baby. Don’t touch computers with heavy radiation.”

Grace Bennett replied, “I’m not afraid. I had someone buy a radiation-proof film, and it’s so boring not being able to do anything.”

After thinking about it, Ethan Cole found her words quite reasonable.

He said, “There’s still one thing that needs to be done, which we haven’t started yet—that’s the national security system.”

“The foundation can use our operating system, but we need to add a lot of things to it.”

“And in terms of security levels, it has to be at least two levels higher than the mobile operating system.”

“I originally planned to do it myself, but now I don’t have that much time.”

“If you are really that bored, you can help me out with a bit of it.”

Grace Bennett was delighted, “Okay, I got it. Send it to me now.”

Ethan Cole replied, “It’s too late, I’ll send it tomorrow. But you can only work a maximum of three hours a day.”

“Ah, three hours is too little,” Grace Bennett pouted her moist little lips: “At least six hours.”

Ethan Cole said nothing, just looked at her with a ‘death smile’.

“Fine,” Grace Bennett admitted defeat: “Three hours it is then, honey, it’s late, you should rest.”

“Alright,” Ethan Cole nodded, “Don’t try to be slick with me. You have to work under surveillance, and as soon as three hours are up, you need to stop immediately.”

Instantly, Grace Bennett’s face turned as bitter as a gourd.

She had originally planned to ‘go along with him in public but go against him in private’, secretly working overtime.

But Ethan Cole had called her out on it straightaway.

After ending the call, Ethan Cole was too lazy to even brush his teeth and went straight to bed to rest.

He set the alarm from its original 6:30 to 7:00.

These days he was so exhausted that he could no longer wake up naturally, as per his usual biological clock.

Megan Price next door was probably going through a similar ordeal.

There was so much that only they could make decisions on, and the workload was simply too much.

The fact that Megan Price hadn’t found any time to meet with Ethan Cole in several months was telling.

In June, the construction of Cole Country’s office site was completed.

Megan Price was the first to officially enter it.

She even took photos and videos to send to Ethan Cole.

In the video, she looked much thinner, her face devoid of any flesh.

Only her eyes sparkled with life.

Ethan Cole sent his congratulations, but he still couldn’t get away.

By mid-June, Ethan Cole put down all his work and flew back to Empire City.

Because his wife was about to give birth.

Having neglected his appearance for some time, he looked almost like a wild man.

It was only after boarding the airplane that he let the staff help him with a haircut, shave, and the like.

Then he was recognized by the staff members.

“Wow, it’s Mr. Cole, I can’t believe I’m seeing you here!”

The flight attendant was very excited, nearly jumping with joy.

Ethan Cole thought he was performing some kind of performance art.

Ethan Cole smiled.

He closed his eyes and quickly rested.

At the same time, his heart was also filled with apprehension.

He had not seen his two daughters for more than half a year, would they not recognize him?

Would they be afraid upon seeing him?

After several transfers, Ethan Cole arrived in Empire City at two o’clock in the morning.

Once off the plane, he turned on his phone to find a heap of messages and several missed calls.

Grace Bennett was about to give birth!

Five days earlier than expected.

Ethan Cole immediately had the driver rush over at the fastest speed.

After running through a dozen red lights, he made it back to the estate in less than half an hour.

The entire estate was on the highest level of alert, several notches above the last time.

“You little rascal, you finally came back.”

As soon as he entered, Karen Cole started to complain about Ethan Cole.

Subconsciously, she went to look for a broom.

This rascal, not being by his wife’s side when she was about to give birth, truly deserved a beating!

Regarding the affairs of Harvestland, Ethan Cole had not informed anyone other than Grace Bennett.

The fewer people knew about this matter, the better.

Ethan Cole’s body shivered, and he quickly changed the subject: “How is Grace now?”

Karen Cole said irritably: “She’s been in there for more than three hours.”

There were many people outside the delivery room.

Daphne Reyes, Isabelle Whitfield, and Natalie Brooks had also come.

In the middle of the night, they had come all this way; it was already very thoughtful of them.

Ethan Cole greeted them and then silently stared at the delivery room door.

In the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on the estate.

The door to the delivery room opened.

The team of doctors came out: “Mother and child are safe; you can go in now.”

Ethan Cole was the first to rush in.

He grabbed Grace Bennett’s cold hand: “I’m sorry, I’m late.”

“It’s okay,” Grace Bennett said with a gentle smile. “You have big things to attend to; I already feel guilty for not being able to help.”

At that, Ethan Cole felt even more guilty.

He should have come a few days earlier.

“How do you feel now?” Ethan Cole asked.

“I’m okay. I’ve got experience now, so it’s not too bad,” Grace Bennett said with a smile. “Oh, and as for the child’s name, you as the father should decide.”

“Rhett Cole.”

Lan: meaning waves, symbolizing vastness and depth.

Xi: signifying light and prosperity.

The name carried the parents’ greatest expectations for their child.

Everyone took turns offering comfort and then stepped out to let Grace Bennett rest.

Then they went to see the baby.

Soundly asleep inside the incubator.

“Thank heavens,” Karen Cole clasped her hands in prayer. “Thank you for blessing the Cole Family with the safe arrival of a healthy baby boy.”

Diane Bennett also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now her daughter’s position in the Cole Family could not be shaken by anyone.

Robert Cole said, “You’ve all worked hard; I’ve had food prepared. Eat first, then rest.”

Ethan Cole, who had skipped breakfast, went straight to the bedroom to see his two little daughters.

Just as he walked in, the two little girls woke up.

To Ethan Cole’s surprise, upon seeing him, they did not show any signs of fear.

Chapter 903: College Graduation, the End of Youth

Ethan Cole held his two daughters, who affectionately rubbed their faces against his.

There was no fear of strangers as expected.

This surprised Ethan Cole a great deal.

After all, they hadn’t seen each other for almost half a year.

Even though they would sometimes video call, it’s not the same as being in person.

And the children were still so small.

...

After holding them for a while, both kids began to cry loudly.

First, he checked their diapers; both were full.

After changing them, he fed them milk.

Ethan Cole had gotten enough sleep on the plane, so he wasn’t tired now.

He stayed in the room to play with his daughters.

Trying to make up for lost time as much as possible.

The two little ones were now able to walk for short periods.

But they could only take a few steps before getting scared and plopping down.

“Astrid is doing great, Zhiruo is doing great too, get up, daddy is here to support you,” he said.

“Wow, Zhiruo, look at how good your sister is, she can walk five steps on her own.”

Perhaps it was Ethan Cole’s encouragement, but the number of steps his elder daughter Astrid Cole could walk by herself was increasing.

She made a series of “gaga gaga” sounds like a goose honking.

“Mwah mwah mwah.”

Ethan Cole picked her up and kissed her several times on her face: “Astrid is incredible.”

Then he picked up Juniper Cole and kissed her several times as enthusiastically.

His two daughters were just too adorable.

Who could help but love them?

Around eleven o’clock in the morning, Grace Bennett woke up.

Ethan Cole took his two daughters over to see her.

As the children grew a little bit older, the intervals between their sleep increased steadily.

He remembered when they were just born, they needed to sleep every few hours.

Now they could last five or six hours.

Upon seeing their mom, the two daughters were overjoyed, making happy noises nonstop.

They stretched out their hands, wanting their mom to hold them.

Ethan Cole gently said, “Mommy just gave birth to your little brother and isn’t feeling well, so she can’t hold you right now.”

It was unclear whether they really understood, but they immediately stopped fussing.

So well-behaved and understanding.

“By the way, why do my daughters still remember me after such a long time?” Ethan Cole asked, puzzled.

Grace Bennett smiled gently: “Because I show them your photo every day and tell them it’s daddy.”

Ethan Cole suddenly realized.

So that was it.

He felt somewhat moved.

Grace Bennett was very thoughtful, considering every detail.

The doctor came to give Grace Bennett a nutrient IV.

Before long, she fell asleep again.

The two daughters were left with their grandmother to look after.

Ethan Cole went to see his son.

Having just finished his milk, he was staring with big eyes, curiously observing the world around him.

What he didn’t know was that in the future, he would become one of the most privileged people in the world.

Ethan Cole was now a father of three at a young age.

Now the children were left with his parents and parents-in-law.

He was working remotely from home.

His work efficiency had decreased significantly at home.

But there was no alternative.

Grace Bennett had just given birth; no matter what, he couldn’t leave her side.

He had to wait until at least after the postnatal confinement, when Grace Bennett fully recovered, before he could leave with peace of mind.

That evening, Ethan Cole made a post on SwiftStream, announcing that Grace Bennett had successfully given birth to a son.

He only shared a photo of the baby’s hand.

Somehow, they had welcomed another child.

The netizens instantly exploded into discussion:

[Wait, you guys had the baby before you told us?]

[The affection has faded, you all don’t treat us as one of your own anymore.]

[It’s Thursday today, treat me to KFC for fifty bucks, and I’ll forgive you guys.]

---

Seeing the comments from netizens, Ethan Cole couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

A month later, the baby’s full-month celebration was held.

The location was right in the estate.

This time, not too many people were invited.

It was all just family.

A son is different from a daughter.

A son has to be nurtured as the future successor, so he needs to be well-protected before adulthood.

Try not to expose him to the public eye.

After all, Ethan Cole had no plans to have Grace Bennett carry on having children.

If anyone harbored ill intentions towards Rhett Cole, it would be troublesome.

Chloe Winters, Marina Winters, and Daphne Reyes all took time out of their busy schedules to come over.

Finally, everyone was gathered for a grand reunion.

It had been a long time since they had seen each other.

Chloe Winters and Marina Winters looked different every time they met.

Chloe Winters had become even more mature and charming.

The aura of a domineering female CEO about her was increasingly evident.

She was just short of saying, “Man, you’re playing with fire.”

Marina Winters, on the other hand, seemed to grow more innocent-looking.

She gave off a vibe of becoming younger with age.

If she put on a high school uniform, she would absolutely look more like a high schooler than the actual students.

After the meal, Marina Winters and Chloe Winters hurriedly left after taking a group photo with everyone.

You could tell that they were indeed very busy.

Managing to come over for a meal was also because of the good relationship between them.

Daphne Reyes, however, stayed over for the night and left the next day.

Her market expansion in Ironport City was almost complete.

She was ready to extend her business nationwide.

If she succeeded, her net worth could easily reach tens of billions,

and she would have a place on the national list of female billionaires.

Three days after the full-month celebration, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett went to school.

It was their official graduation day.

Many people came to the school.

Most of them were there for Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett.

The two, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the school and attracted countless admiring glances.

Taking photos, delivering a speech on stage, making a donation to the school.

After going through a series of procedures, both were quite exhausted.

On the way back, they looked at their diplomas and couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

They had just graduated and had already achieved what many people couldn’t until their thirties.

With three children, a lifetime of financial security, and a happy and fulfilled family.

“I feel like we’re really adults now,” Grace Bennett murmured to herself.

In her mind, only after graduating from college does one truly become an adult.

“Yeah.” Looking at the diploma in his hand, Ethan Cole was also filled with emotion.

During the four years of college, apart from the first year, the last three years he and Grace Bennett spent less and less time at school.

They didn’t really get to enjoy campus life.

Now that they had graduated, a sense of reluctance arose.

Even if they were to return to school in the future, the feelings and the identity would be different.

Seeing that Grace Bennett looked somewhat sentimental, Ethan Cole changed the topic.

Looking at her with expectation, he asked, “Baby wife, have you fully recovered physically?”

Grace Bennett knew what Ethan Cole meant, and blushed as she nodded her head.

“Then let’s go home, and retire early today,” Ethan Cole said, hardly able to wait.

It had been almost a year since Grace Bennett had been pregnant until now.

He hadn’t done “that” since the New Year’s holiday, and for a twenty-something-year-old, it was quite a struggle.

Two days later, Ethan Cole returned to Harvestland.

Chapter 904: An Age Despised by Both Man and Dog

Time flew by, and it had been three years since Ethan Cole graduated.

The year had come to 2018.

His entire family had already moved to Harvestland.

After a few years of development, this small place had been completely transformed.

It now had a permanent population of five million.

The annual number of tourists exceeded ten million.

...

Ethan Cole’s total investment here had surpassed five hundred billion.

What he had exchanged that for was the most powerful force in the region.

The citizens lived in peace and happiness, and everyone had a job.

Half a year ago, Frank Bennett, Marcus Hayes, Chloe Winters, Marina Winters, Daphne Reyes, Isabelle Whitfield, and others.

Even big shots like Lawrence Farrow, President Farrow, and President Prescott, under Ethan Cole’s persuasion, had opened branch offices here in Harvestland.

They had transferred some of their employees over.

Ethan Cole provided every employee who had come here in the early stages, regardless of their company, with a 200-square-meter fully furnished house.

These were also permanent property rights, and there would be no property taxes collected in Megan Price Park.

If they settled here, he would also give a one-time bonus of two million, and their children could attend everything from kindergarten to high school for free.

These strategies quickly led to the flourishing of Harvestland, which had been empty after construction was completed.

Now, the permanent population of Harvestland was almost the same as that of Singapore.

Although it still was not as prosperous as theirs.

But its foundations were laid very deep.

The most basic necessities could all be self-sufficient here.

They even had their own weapon production line.

Basic needs like food, beverages, and daily necessities could all be produced domestically.

Some raw materials were directly purchased from neighboring Cole Country.

Beyond that, their hidden trump card was the drone production line,

In three years, the drones had been updated to the sixth generation.

Artificial Intelligence + drones + super anti-interference + long endurance + high load capacity + high speed.

This made the destructive power of these machines incredibly massive.

This was their trump card, not yet revealed to the outside world in the slightest.

All were led by Ethan Cole and completed by his team of technicians.

The most important thing was the low cost!

Ethan Cole could confidently say they were far ahead.

Sovereign Hall was divided into two parts, front and back.

The front was the workplace, and the back was the private residence of the Cole Family.

“Astrid Cole, Juniper Cole, Rhett Cole, stop right there!”

“The clothes I was supposed to wear tomorrow, you’ve cut them up.”

“Stop, I promise I won’t beat your butts till they bloom!”

Ethan Cole roared.

On the lawn, three little rascals ran and screamed.

Ethan Cole held a thin, long bamboo stick, chasing after them.

Almost five-year-old Astrid Cole and Juniper Cole, along with the over three-year-old Rhett Cole, were at an age where they were nearly universally disliked and prone to causing trouble.

“Dad, we were wrong.”

“Please forgive us.”

“We won’t dare to do it again.”

The three little ones pleaded for mercy, but they ran quite fast.

But they were quickly caught up to by Ethan Cole.

The three little guys shivered in a corner.

Then Rhett Cole stepped forward, pouting, “Dad, if you want to spank someone, spank me. It was all my doing, it has nothing to do with my sisters.”

Ethan Cole’s eyes held a smiling expression.

The little guy was impressive, knowing to take responsibility at such a young age.

His gaze fell on his two daughters.

At just five years old, they could already be described by the phrase ‘nation-toppling beauty.’

As beautiful as porcelain dolls, exquisitely so.

Last week, Ethan Cole filmed a short video for his two daughters for the first time and posted it on QuickReel.

It practically paralyzed the entire network.

The popularity was equivalent to Ethan Cole, Grace Bennett, Chloe Winters, Marina Winters, and Daphne Reyes together.

A ton of netizens wanted to kidnap the two sisters.

Even e-commerce platforms specially made pink sacks.

Yes, specifically for the two sisters.

“No, Dad, I led the way,” said Astrid Cole, stepping forward.

Although her voice was still childish, she already carried a hint of steadiness.

“Dad, don’t scold my sister. It’s all my fault.”

Juniper Cole also stood out.

She kept blinking at Ethan Cole, acting coy and charming.

Trying to awaken Ethan Cole’s fatherly love.

The two sisters, despite being born just minutes apart, were completely different in character.

Astrid Cole possessed a maturity beyond her years.

At a young age, she already had the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family.

Her personality was gentle and reserved.

She was sure to be a virtuous type when she grew up.

Juniper Cole, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.

Quirky, lively, mischievous, and fond of causing trouble.

She often collaborated with her younger brother, Rhett Cole, to wreak havoc everywhere.

The two siblings were also the ones Ethan Cole scolded the most.

Naturally, Ethan Cole was not angry, nor did he intend to hit the three siblings.

Thanks to Grace Bennett’s upbringing from a young age, the siblings had a strong bond and all carried responsibilities.

So, in the end, the branch in his hand never fell on them.

Seeing this, the three siblings clung to Ethan Cole’s legs, chattering:

“Dad, you’re really nice.”

“Dad, I love you.”

“Dad is the handsomest and coolest in the whole world.”

Ethan Cole couldn’t hide the smile tugging at his lips: “Alright, go play with your mom. Dad has to go out.”

After Chloe Winters and Marina Winters came here, they partnered up to start a media company.

Today, it was going public.

It was also the Harvestland’s first publicly listed company.

Ethan Cole had to rush over there to support them.

This stock needed to perform brilliantly to bring confidence to other companies that were preparing to go public.

Ethan Cole arrived five minutes early.

Chloe Winters and Marina Winters, the two sisters, were already there.

Both sisters were incredibly eye-catching.

Chloe Winters stood tall, her presence commanding respect.

She wore a well-tailored black ladies’ suit that outlined her graceful and strong curves.

The slightly open collar subtly revealed a delicate shirt underneath, sexy yet proficient.

The sound of her high heels striking the ground was crisp and forceful, as if it were the rhythm of her conquering the world.

Her long hair fell to her waist, and stray strands casually rested on her forehead, adding an untamed and soft charm to her allure.

Her eyes were bright and confident.

Now, most people probably didn’t dare to breathe too heavily in her presence.

Marina Winters, however, was a completely different style.

She exuded a youthful aura, light and graceful as if the gentlest breeze of spring.

She preferred cute styles, wearing a soft pink dress that revealed spirited and playful touches with every sway of its hem.

Her hair was tied up in fluffy twin ponytails, paired with intricate bow hair accessories, adding sweetness and purity.

Her smile, like a flower just beginning to bloom, was warm and bright, making people fall in love at first sight, as if it turned the whole world pink.

Male reporters at the scene, one by one, averted their eyes, hardly daring to look at the two sisters.

The sisters’ allure was simply too lethal to men.

One dominated with authority, the other with cuteness.

Chapter 905: He is Her Remedy

With the arrival of Ethan Cole, the atmosphere at the venue soared even higher.

Chloe Winters and Marina Winters both flashed a hint of admiration deep in their eyes the moment they saw Ethan Cole.

He was simply too outstanding.

The two sisters had met so many men, and not one could compare to Ethan Cole at the same age.

This man was truly like a star in the sky, sparkling with dazzling brilliance.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they were quite dazzling, shining brightly.

...

But in the face of Ethan Cole, they too felt a sense of inferiority.

Yes, inferiority.

The gap in status between them had become so large that it would be difficult to bridge even in ten lifetimes.

Ethan Cole delivered a speech.

And then personally rang the bell for the two sisters’ company’s listing on the stock market.

The first stock of Harvestland was officially listed!

The stock market of Harvestland also adopted the system where the limit up and limit down within one day was ten percent.

Under the effect of celebrity, the stock hit the limit up as soon as it went public.

Making all the contingency plans Ethan Cole had prepared completely unnecessary.

At the end of the press conference, Chloe Winters and Marina Winters rubbed their somewhat stiff faces.

They had been smiling all the time, and their faces had stiffened.

“Thank you, Brother Cole,” Marina Winters said with a sweet smile to Ethan Cole, “With you standing by our side, no one will dare to mess with us in the future.”

She and Chloe Winters both seemed a bit dazed.

They remembered when Ethan Cole first told them about Harvestland, their reactions were shock and disbelief.

After coming over and seeing the reality of Harvestland, the impact they felt was even more profound.

This man had actually completed such a feat on the sly.

Such audacity was not even something one could imagine in games.

Ethan Cole laughed, “As long as you abide by the law, your descendants will be nobles.”

Chloe Winters and Marina Winters both smiled awkwardly.

Where would they have descendants?

Unless Ethan Cole was willing to lend…

The two sisters quickly changed the subject, saying they wanted to visit Ethan Cole’s three children.

Ethan Cole nodded his head and told them to go ahead.

He was going to look for Daphne Reyes.

Yesterday, Grace Bennett said that Daphne Reyes had a severe cold and was now in the hospital.

She had visited her, but Ethan Cole had been very busy the previous few days, so he hadn’t gone.

Now, he felt he should definitely pay a visit.

Arriving at the hospital,

Daphne Reyes was wearing a mask, looking very haggard, much like a tragic, delicate heroine from an old novel.

Upon seeing Ethan Cole, joy flickered in Daphne Reyes’s eyes.

He was her best medicine.

“Daphne, how are you feeling?” Ethan Cole asked with concern.

“I’m alright,” Daphne Reyes’s voice was somewhat weak, “Don’t come too close to me, I’m afraid I’ll pass it to you.”

Ethan Cole laughed, “It’s okay, I’m very robust.”

The biopharmaceutical factory co-invested with Frank Bennett had just developed a new product last year.

After taking it, it could enhance the body’s resistance and a certain degree of strength.

And it had no side effects.

The only downside was that it was effective only the first time it was used by a person.

The effects were quite good.

Grace Bennett was the one with the most say on this matter.

“Oh, right,” Daphne Reyes remembered something.

She took her handbag from the bedside table,

and took out a bracelet from it and handed it to Ethan Cole: “I made this myself, and then had it blessed in a temple, this one is yours.”

“I have ones for Grace and the three children too, I’ll personally deliver them once I’m better.”

“Thank you, Daphne,” Ethan Cole said with a smile, accepting it and wearing it on his left hand, “Mm, it looks good.”

Daphne Reyes’s smile blossomed beautifully beneath her mask.

Only she knew that the bracelet she gave to Ethan Cole was completely different from the ones she gave to others.

Because within one of the pearls, she secretly hid one of her own hairs.

That way, she could forever be together with Ethan Cole.

After leaving the hospital, Ethan Cole went to the company again.

With her seductive figure and a head of golden hair, Avi eagerly came out to greet him upon learning of Ethan Cole’s visit to the office.

The sound of her high heels striking the ground was crisp and pleasing to the ear.

Her wavy golden locks undulated with her movements, like waves of gold.

She had now become the Vice President of QuickRead Group.

Two years ago, she successfully completed the task Ethan Cole had given her.

She expanded QuickReel globally.

Currently, QuickReel has reached four billion users worldwide.

And it is still steadily increasing.

QuickReel has now become the most profitable company within QuickRead Group.

It brings in three to four hundred billion in net profit every year.

This one company alone could support the entire population of Harvestland.

As a major contributor, Avi naturally received great rewards from Ethan Cole.

Upon entering Avi’s office, the fragrance of roses filled the air.

“Have a seat, Boss, I’ll pour you some tea.”

Avi earnestly invited Ethan Cole to sit at her desk, then turned to make tea for him.

When Ethan Cole wasn’t looking, she quietly undid the top two buttons of her blouse.

Instantly, the air was charged with ‘deadly intent’, ‘turbulent and overwhelming’.

She approached Ethan Cole carrying the tea.

She bent over.

Placing the cup down she asked, “Boss, would you like to taste and see if it’s good?”

The moment Ethan Cole looked up, he saw her dazzling white chest.

Vast in scale.

One could only say that some people are truly exceptionally endowed.

Ethan Cole could only divert his gaze and explained the purpose of his visit.

“QuickReel can move on to the next big stage, and fully launch an e-commerce model.”

The next growth point would be e-commerce combined with live-streaming sales.

Ethan Cole’s goal was to make QuickReel the world’s number one social software application.

With a net profit exceeding five hundred billion per year.

Becoming a super cash cow.

When it came to work matters, Avi’s face turned serious: “Okay, I got it.”

“Hmm,” Ethan Cole stood up and patted her shoulder, “Work hard, strive to break through twenty billion for this year’s end-of-year bonus.”

He was always very generous with his capable subordinates.

Avi thought to herself that she already had over ten billion in cash in her bank account; she wasn’t short of money.

I’m short of you…

If the boss were willing to spend a night with her, even forgoing the end-of-year bonus would be fine.

After leaving the company, Ethan Cole went to find Isabelle Whitfield.

“Sister Isabelle, is the thing ready?”

“It’s ready, take a look and see if it works.”

Isabelle Whitfield handed a blueprint to Ethan Cole.

Up to now, Harvestland was still using America currency.

Half a year ago, Ethan Cole had given Isabelle Whitfield a task.

He asked her to design a currency exclusive to Harvestland.

Now, it was finally complete.

It consisted of six denominations: one, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred.

The one hundred denomination featured Ethan Cole’s portrait with some golden wheat ears around it.

“Hmm, not bad,” Ethan Cole nodded, “Let’s go with this. Thanks, Sister Isabelle.”

“Just a thank you to send me on my way?” Isabelle Whitfield pouted, “For your task, I’ve been working day and night, I don’t even know how many brain cells have died.”

Ethan Cole laughed, “Then what do you want me to do as compensation?”

Isabelle Whitfield’s eyes rolled, “Close your eyes.”

Chapter 906: In His Life, He Has No Regrets Anymore

Ethan Cole closed his eyes, not knowing what Isabelle Whitfield intended to do.

Isabelle Whitfield looked at Ethan Cole, who stood in a rigid posture in front of her, her expression slightly dazed.

She still remembered the first time she met Ethan Cole; he was just a slightly naive college student.

In the blink of an eye, he had amassed a tremendously large capital behind him.

Although he couldn’t surpass those five big brothers, overtaking Jiao Penkun and grinding him into the dust was only a matter of time.

He had the confidence to face any injustice.

...

All this, Ethan Cole had accomplished in less than ten years.

To call it a miracle might even be an understatement.

Even after attaining such a high status, Ethan Cole’s treatment towards the people around him remained as before.

He could have trampled everyone under his foot, but he chose not to do so.

How could such a man not be mesmerizing?

Isabelle Whitfield often fantasized at night about how great it would be if she could reincarnate.

That way, she could meet Ethan Cole before everyone else and win his heart.

At this moment, seeing that Ethan Cole indeed obediently closed his eyes, Isabelle Whitfield’s heart raced.

With gritted teeth and determination, she stepped forward and tightly hugged Ethan Cole’s waist.

Ethan Cole’s eyes flew open, and he felt the softness; he frowned slightly, “Sister Isabelle, what are you doing?”

“I know we can never be together.” Isabelle Whitfield blushed, her speech rapid, “Just let me hug you for a minute as a reward. I won’t do this again, don’t push me away.”

Ethan Cole lowered his hand that he had raised.

Shortly thereafter, Ethan Cole left Isabelle Whitfield.

He returned to the Sovereign Hall.

The children had played until they were tired and had gone to sleep.

Grace Bennett handed him a drawing, “Can you take a look at this?”

Ethan Cole had entrusted the design of the national flag to Grace Bennett.

The entire flag was in light golden color.

At the top was a sun and moon, at the bottom golden wheat, and around the edges were decorated with plum blossoms.

“Not bad at all,” Ethan Cole praised. “As expected of my wife, this design is awesome.”

Grace Bennett pursed her lips in a smile, “Thanks for the praise, dear. When do you plan to schedule the national inauguration ceremony?”

Ethan Cole, “Of course, it’s on the same day as our wedding, June 18th.”

Grace Bennett’s breath hitched.

She was moved to tears.

She hugged Ethan Cole, “Dear, you are so kind.”

On June 18, 2018, Harvestland was officially established.

It marked a new step in the development of Ethan Cole and QuickRead Group.

His life from that moment was utterly perfect.

Three sons and one daughter, a harmonious and happy family, possessing wealth that generations couldn’t exhaust.

And… Harvestland as a formidable backing.

In 2020, QuickReel became the world’s largest social media platform, hosting six billion users with an annual net profit of over 500 billion.

In 2021, Harvestland expanded its land area to 1.5 million square kilometers through extensive land reclamation.

In 2022, Cole Country announced a new contract with Harvestland, agreeing to comprehensive cooperation for ninety-nine years.

In 2023, Salmon Country became the staunchest ally of Harvestland.

In 2024, Harvestland’s economic growth entered the global top ten for the first time.

In 2025, Cole Country was officially merged into Harvestland, Megan Price becoming the second leader of the country, with vice position rights.

In 2026, Harvestland’s 1-nanometer lithography machine debuted, leading the world in chip design and manufacturing capabilities.

In 2027, Coleridge University became the number one educational institution globally.

In 2029, at the mere age of 16, Astrid Cole and Juniper Cole graduated from Coleridge University as the youngest graduates ever and started from the bottom at the QuickRead Group.

In 2030, Rhett Cole, not yet 16, also graduated from Coleridge University.

That same year, Ethan Cole formally designated Rhett Cole as his sole heir.

Starting their internships and training from the countryside.

In 2033, Rhett Cole got married and had a son the following year.

That year, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett were 43 years old and embraced their new roles as grandparents.

In 2040, at the age of fifty, Ethan Cole officially retired, and Rhett Cole took over his father’s heavy responsibilities, continuing to lead Harvestland forward.

By 2045, Harvestland became the second most powerful nation globally, second only to Dragon Palace.

In 2050, the first great-grandchild of Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett was born.

That same year, Astrid Cole and Juniper Cole announced they would never marry.

For they found no man superior to their own father.

Rather remain single for life than settle for less.

Ethan Cole respected his daughters’ decision.

In 2052, Harvestland released the world’s most advanced robot, capable of matching a hundred-man combat squad in conventional warfare.

In 2053, Ethan Cole’s great-grandchild was born, marking five generations under one roof.

That year, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett were 63 years old, still robust and healthy.

In 2073, Ethan Cole’s great-great-grandchild was born, with six generations under one roof.

That year, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett were 83 years old.

By several generations of dedicated governance, Harvestland had grown unimaginably powerful.

In 2100, the world entered a new era.

Ethan Cole’s great-great-great-grandchild was born, with seven generations under one roof.

That year, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett were 100 years old, and Ethan Cole’s life reached its end.

At his deathbed, Grace Bennett held Ethan Cole’s hand, unable to stop her tears.

Below, all descendants knelt, each of them sobbing uncontrollably.

Their family education had been strict, so throughout the years, there had never been any case of fratricide; the family members all lived harmoniously.

They all deeply respected and admired Ethan Cole.

“Ethan,” Grace Bennett held his hand tightly, “please don’t leave me, okay? I’m scared, I can’t bear to be alone in this world.”

From the year they met at 16, 84 years had already passed.

Over the long years, they had become one, inseparable.

“Everyone has their day,” said Ethan Cole, his face lined with countless deep grooves.

Each groove contained endless stories and legends.

In his dim eyes, there was a flicker of light.

His life could truly be described as grand and eventful.

He lived up to his own conscience and made significant contributions to the technological development of the world.

And the descendants he raised were outstanding, sensible, and filial.

He lived his life with no regrets.

The only thing he worried about was Grace Bennett, the woman who had accompanied him through countless trials and tribulations.

“After I’m gone, don’t be sad; carry on living well, okay?” Ethan Cole’s voice was hoarse.

Grace Bennett no longer had the strength to speak, just continuously shedding tears.

Astrid Cole and Juniper Cole came forward to support their mother.

They, too, had transitioned from youth to grey-haired old women.

But one could still see the beauty of their youth.

A great sadness overwhelmed them.

“I…” Ethan Cole opened his mouth, short of breath, and it took him a long while to regain composure. His voice trembled and was hoarse, “I’d like… a sip of soda…”

Chapter 907: At 16, Youth Was Just Right

He remembered the scene of playing basketball on the playground with his classmates when he was 16.

Back then, he was brimming with youth and endless energy, which were the happiest times of his youth.

After the game, drinking a bottle of beverage with his buddies was an incredibly joyful thing.

Rhett Cole’s eyes were red, and he hurriedly asked someone to bring over some soda.

Holding it, he approached Ethan Cole, “Dad, let me help you sit up.”

Ethan Cole struggled to open his mouth.

...

The soda slowly poured into his mouth, and Ethan Cole shook his head, “Not this soda, I want… Jianlibao…”

“Okay, Dad, wait for me, I will send someone to find it right away,” Rhett Cole sprinted out.

One phone call went down, and he yelled, “Hurry, buy Jianlibao for me, as fast as possible!”

A few minutes later, her subordinate called to say they couldn’t find Jianlibao for sale in the country.

Rhett Cole’s body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.

His father was already at the brink of death.

He had to fulfill his final wish no matter what.

Taking a deep breath, Rhett Cole opened his phone and recorded a video:

[Hello, everyone, I am Rhett Cole]

[My father is now at his final moments]

[His last wish before passing away is to have a sip of Jianlibao]

[It’s too late to ship it from abroad now]

[I kindly ask if anyone in the country has it, to send me one bottle, I will reward generously]

After recording, Rhett Cole posted the video on the QuickReel platform, directing all traffic there.

The people across the country who saw this video felt the sky was falling.

Ethan Cole had long been a household name.

And had been with many generations.

Now suddenly hearing this bad news, the internet erupted in cries of mourning.

However, the video indeed had an effect.

A young girl who had just returned from overseas travel happened to bring a few bottles of Jianlibao.

Upon seeing Rhett Cole’s video, she contacted him immediately.

Rhett Cole sent out a helicopter to bring it over.

Upon returning to Ethan Cole.

In just that short amount of time, Ethan Cole looked even weaker.

“Father…” Rhett Cole said softly, “The Jianlibao is here; try it.”

He cautiously delivered the soda into Ethan Cole’s mouth.

Ethan Cole’s throat struggled to swallow.

The soda went down.

A content smile appeared on his aged face: “This is the taste.”

But he only took a small sip before he couldn’t drink any more.

He felt his body had reached its limit.

With the last bit of strength, he turned his head to look at Grace Bennett with tears streaming down her face.

Shaking, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch her face.

But even such a simple gesture was as difficult as climbing to heaven for Ethan Cole at this time.

His hand only lifted halfway before it fell.

In the last moments of his life, he saw Robert Cole and Karen Cole.

The two walked towards him hand in hand, smiles on their faces.

“Dad… Mom… you’ve come to pick me up…”

His eyes slowly closed, and at that moment, his breath vanished, his heart also stopped beating.

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

He had no regrets in his life.

Rhett Cole stood there dazed, lost in thought.

There were no tears, for he had long since cried them all out.

The room was filled with a mournful mood.

The younger ones cried inconsolably.

Kneeling on the ground, continuously kowtowing.

Grace Bennett gently laid Ethan Cole flat and told the children and grandchildren, “You all go out first; I want to talk to him some more.”

“Mom…” Astrid Cole began to speak but stopped.

Finally, she motioned for everyone to go out first.

The room quieted down.

Grace Bennett brought a tissue and gently wiped Ethan Cole’s face and hands.

She tidied up his clothes for him.

She murmured to herself, “Do you remember the first time we met?”

“Back then, you were radiant, excellent in your studies, and handsome, while I was just an ugly girl.”

“No one wanted to deal with me, only you were kind to me, helping me find a part-time job~”

“At that time, I thought how great it would be if you could be my boyfriend.”

“But it was just a thought, I knew I wasn’t good enough for you.”

“It wasn’t until after your help that I got into a good university, that I had the confidence to stand by your side.”

“We weathered storms together, and we had our own child.”

“You are my everything, Ethan.”

“Ever since I met you, my world has only seen sunny days, never a cloudy one.”

As she spoke, Grace Bennett’s tears fell uncontrollably again.

Ethan Cole was her sun.

And now, this sun had set, never to rise again.

“Ethan, I’m sorry, I can’t follow your advice anymore.”

“Wait for me, I won’t let you go on this journey alone.”

“Whether in this lifetime or the next, we must be together.”

“Forever and ever together, never to part.”

Grace Bennett murmured to herself.

Then, she took out the sleeping pills she had prepared earlier and swallowed them all at once.

She slowly lay down, holding Ethan Cole’s hand, smiling, “We may not have been born on the same day, but we can die on the same day.”

“Here I come, Ethan, don’t rush, wait for me, otherwise I’ll be scared walking alone.”

She kept talking incessantly.

As she spoke, her speech slowed.

Perhaps the effects of the medication were starting, and endless drowsiness overwhelmed her.

Grace Bennett slowly closed her eyes.

She wasn’t scared at all.

Death was not the end, but another beginning.

On this day, two stars fell.

The whole heavens mourned.

---

It was a particularly hot summer in 2008, in Kingsport.

In Class 2 of the first year at No.1 High School.

“Ethan Cole, you’re sleeping in class?!”

A piece of chalk accurately hit Ethan Cole’s head.

He groggily opened his eyes.

The laughter surrounding him left him confused.

Hadn’t he already passed away?

Was this the afterlife?

Why did it look just like his high school classroom?

“Huh?!”

Ethan Cole shook his head vigorously.

Looking down at his hands.

There were no wrinkles or age spots.

Inside his body surged the strength of youth, as if he could punch a cow to death.

On the stage, the old class teacher was glaring at him.

His classmates all gave him looks of helpless compassion or schadenfreude.

Not far away, Chloe Winters with her ponytail frowned and snorted coldly.

Hannah Reed was whispering something in her ear.

Ethan Cole pinched his arm hard.

It hurt.

He finally realized that he had reincarnated and had returned to his high school days.

From a frail old man, he had become 16 again, the most prime state of his life.

So…

Had he alone returned to the past, or had Grace Bennett also reincarnated with him?

Chapter 908: She Reincarnated Too

No, when he died, Grace Bennett was still alive.

She didn’t know that Grace Bennett had taken sleeping pills for his sake.

But in that moment, Ethan Cole couldn’t care less.

He desperately wanted to see her, to confirm whether she had also been reincarnated back to their high school days.

He stood up abruptly and, amidst the roaring anger of the head teacher, rushed out of the classroom.

At the end of the corridor was Grace Bennett’s class.

...

After running for a bit, Ethan Cole slowed down.

He walked forward slowly.

His palms were sweaty with nervousness.

“Bang!”

The door to the classroom at the end of the hallway was pushed open, making a dull sound.

Grace Bennett, skinny and wearing a washed-out, baggy school uniform with thick bangs, burst out from within.

Their eyes met.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

In their eyes, there was only each other.

A tear streamed down Grace Bennett’s face.

She threw herself into Ethan Cole’s arms with abandon.

“Husband, we’re not dead, we’ve returned to our high school days.”

A wave of immense joy surged over him.

Ethan Cole wrapped his arms tightly around Grace Bennett’s waist and murmured with tears shimmering in his eyes, “That’s great, wife. We’ll never be apart in this life or the next!”

Grace Bennett held Ethan Cole just as tightly.

The joy of regaining what she had lost filled her entire being.

She could hardly believe that something like reincarnation, only found in novels, could happen in reality.

If it weren’t for the warmth and familiar scent emanating from Ethan Cole, Grace Bennett would have thought she was still dreaming.

“What are you two doing?!”

“Let go at once!”

The angry roars came from the mouth of Ethan Cole’s and Grace Bennett’s class teachers respectively.

Their behavior made the students inside the classroom stick their heads out one by one.

Many even gave the two a thumbs-up.

Pretty impressive.

Dashing out of their classrooms during a lesson and hugging each other in the hallway.

One of them a top student in the school, no less.

Grace Bennett quickly stepped out of Ethan Cole’s embrace, her head bowed and cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

She had suddenly woken up just now, wondering if she was dreaming.

Hence, she ran out without a second thought.

Now that she knew it wasn’t a dream but reality, she suddenly felt very embarrassed.

But she kept holding Ethan Cole’s hand with an attitude that said she wouldn’t let go even if it killed her.

After experiencing separation through death, Grace Bennett treasured their relationship even more.

Nothing would make her want to leave Ethan Cole ever again.

Ethan Cole gently patted the back of Grace Bennett’s hand and, with a smile, said to both class teachers, “Sorry, teacher. We were wrong.”

After all, one was consistently among the top three in class grades, and the other appeared as a delicate, gentle girl.

In the end, the teachers didn’t punish them too harshly but had them stand in the hallway for one class period.

And they each had to write a self-criticism essay with five hundred words.

In the corridor, the two exchanged smiles.

Breathing in the fresh air outside, they felt better than they ever had.

Ethan Cole pondered a question.

Why, why did he get to reincarnate twice?

Could there be a third time?

Or could he keep reincarnating indefinitely?

If it really were the latter, then this wasn’t so different from eternal life.

Ethan Cole shook his head.

There wasn’t much to think about with these things.

Having the chance to return to his youth and see the girl he deeply loved was already a stroke of incredible luck.

“Honey~” Grace Bennett’s gentle voice interrupted Ethan Cole’s thoughts.

“Mm, what’s up?” Ethan Cole looked at her.

“How do you plan to develop things in this life?” Grace Bennett softly asked.

“I don’t want to follow the path of my previous life.” Ethan Cole smiled crisply, “Although I had more money than I could spend and unmatched fame, I also had to face all kinds of overt conspiracies and hidden dangers.”

“So, this time, let’s just do some small investments.”

“Keep our assets within ten billion, and with the rest of the time, let’s enjoy life to the fullest. How about we do some global traveling?”

“Great.” Grace Bennett nodded vigorously, her eyes shining brightly, “Whatever you do, I’ll support you.”

Looking at Grace Bennett’s flawless face, full of collagen, Ethan Cole chuckled:

“Wife, do you remember how old we were when we confirmed our relationship in our last life?”

Grace Bennett answered without hesitation, “Eighteen.”

“Hehehe.” Ethan Cole rubbed his hands together, “I’ve seen your Bentley badge when you were eighteen, but I haven’t seen what you have now. After class ends, let’s…”

“Pah.” Grace Bennett’s face instantly turned as red as the crimson clouds on the horizon, spitting lightly, “No way, you big baddie, hmph~”

This coy demeanor was stirring Ethan Cole’s appetite.

If the setting wasn’t inappropriate at the moment, he would have made a move right there.

The bell signaling the end of class rang.

A large group of students burst out, gathering around Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett.

One after another, they gave Ethan Cole a thumbs-up.

Being bold enough to dash out during class to do this kind of thing, Ethan Cole was the first.

Chloe Winters and Hannah Reed also walked out of the classroom.

Chloe Winters huffed coldly, walking past Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett.

Her long ponytail swayed energetically from side to side.

The Chloe Winters of now was still as petulant as ever.

Living again, Ethan Cole’s state of mind was different.

He looked at her as if an old man were watching a young girl.

“You’re pretty cool, boy.” Derek Hayes ran over, thumping Ethan Cole’s shoulder, “What’s this called, charging forward for love?”

Looking at Derek Hayes, Ethan Cole’s eyes were a bit red.

In his previous life, this guy had passed away at ninety, a full ten years before him.

Though ninety was considered a ripe old age.

Compared to himself, it felt too soon.

“You should visit the Red Romance less, and you might live a few more years,” Ethan Cole teased with a smile.

Derek Hayes: “Huh???”

Ethan Cole laughed heartily, without explanation.

After school, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett went home together.

Well, back to Ethan Cole’s home.

At this time of day, Ethan Cole’s parents were still at their store doing business.

On the way, Grace Bennett was chirping excitedly about the future.

“Once we get into university, we’ll try to finish all the courses within a year and then graduate early.”

“Then we’ll give our parents money so they don’t have to work so hard, and then we can start our global travel plans.”

“There’s one problem,” Ethan Cole said, “Do you still want to be friends with Isabelle Whitfield and the others in this life?”

“And your cousin, she’s still suffering right now.”

“Of course, of course,” Grace Bennett nodded, “Once we first make ten million, we’ll go find my cousin.”

“And also, in this life, we can’t let dad interact with Vanessa Grant again. We can’t let her destroy my family.”

“As for Wade Bennington… I can only say sorry to him.”

Grace Bennett’s mood dropped a little as she spoke.

It was always going to be a difficult decision to make.

Ethan Cole patted her on the back, “Your choice is the right one.”

Before they knew it, they arrived home.

As soon as they got home, Ethan Cole promptly showed his ‘fangs’.

Chapter 909: Around the World (Grand Finale)

Even with memories from two lives, their affection for each other was off the charts.

But Grace Bennett was still that shy Grace Bennett.

Blushing and heart racing at the slightest thing.

After Ethan Cole showed his “fangs,” she still blushed and rejected his bold ideas.

Helplessly, Ethan Cole could only give up that tempting but infeasible thought.

Ethan Cole touched his stomach, “I’m a bit hungry, come meet my parents with me.”

...

“Mhm.” Grace Bennett nodded, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

In their past life.

Ethan Cole’s parents had passed away when he and Grace Bennett were seventy years old.

At that time, Ethan Cole had been despondent for half a year before he could pull himself out of his grief.

Grace Bennett was no better off.

Now, to meet Robert Cole and Karen Cole again, their hearts were filled with excitement.

Arriving at the front door of their family seafood restaurant, Ethan Cole instantly saw his busily welcoming parents, Robert Cole and Karen Cole.

At this moment, they were still very young, nothing like the last time Ethan Cole saw them in his past life, when they were skin and bones, completely pale.

Even if Ethan Cole had prepared himself psychologically for the journey, seeing his parents once more still made him unable to hold back his tears.

He turned and ran out.

Grace Bennett followed him out.

After crying it out in a secluded spot, they returned to the restaurant.

“Dad, Mom, I’m here!” Ethan Cole grinned widely and shouted.

It was wonderful; everything had gone back to the best starting point.

The heavens had been incredibly kind to him by allowing him another chance to indulge in the beauty of the world.

“You’re here.” Karen Cole said with a beaming smile, “There’s food left for you in the kitchen, go eat… And who is this with you?”

Upon seeing Grace Bennett for the first time, Karen Cole couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Such a well-behaved young girl.

Exuding a sense of peaceful years all around her.

Karen Cole took a liking to Grace Bennett the moment she laid eyes on her.

“My classmate, Grace Bennett.” Ethan Cole winked at Karen Cole.

Karen Cole instantly understood, her face beaming with warm smiles.

She stepped forward, took Grace Bennett’s hand, “Grace, is it? Nice to meet you, have you eaten? Come and eat with Ethan.”

“Thank you, Auntie, and hello Uncle~” Grace Bennett bowed her head, not letting Karen Cole see her reddened eyes.

She, too, missed Karen Cole and Robert Cole very much.

It had been… thirty years since she last saw them.

After eating, they helped clean up a bit, and then Ethan Cole escorted Grace Bennett home.

Returning to the old home entrenched in her memories, Grace Bennett stood at the doorway, lost in thought for a long time.

It had been almost eighty years.

Ethan Cole was also filled with emotions.

They stood at the doorway for a long time before going inside.

At this point in time, Frank Bennett and Diane Bennett’s lives were still quite modest.

Because this life’s events were different from the last, Frank Bennett was very wary when he saw his daughter bring a boy home.

Upon seeing Frank Bennett’s expression, Ethan Cole knew he was being seen as a “ruffian.”

Well, technically speaking, Ethan Cole was indeed a “ruffian.”

“Dad, Mom.”

Upon seeing her parents again, Grace Bennett couldn’t help it and burst into tears in their arms.

In their past life, both Robert Cole and Diane Bennett had passed away a few years before Ethan Cole’s parents.

“Daughter, what’s wrong?” Diane Bennett was at a loss, “Is someone bullying you at school?”

Frank Bennett, on the other hand, watched Ethan Cole like a hawk.

Ethan Cole: “…”

“No one is bullying me.” Grace Bennett’s voice choked up, “I… I just missed you so much.”

“Silly girl.” Diane Bennett breathed a sigh of relief, “Haven’t we always been here?”

Grace Bennett gave a bashful smile.

---

A week after their reincarnation, the two of them started discussing how to earn their first pot of gold.

In this life, with Grace Bennett by his side as an assistant, making money was only going to be simpler.

After their return from reincarnation, both of them had exceptionally good memories.

As long as it was something they had experienced in their previous life, no matter how long ago, it could be clearly presented in their minds.

So, this time they chose to start their fortune from foreign stock markets.

For the two of them, making money in this era was as easy and simple as breathing.

In just one month, they turned a starting capital of one thousand dollars into ten million US dollars.

According to the current exchange rate, that’s about sixty-nine million.

With this money in hand, they went on various real estate and storefront buying sprees.

Spending sixty million.

This sixty-million investment was bound to yield at least ten to fifteen times the return in the next few years.

Of the remaining money, they took out six million, giving three million to each of their parents.

In this life, thanks to Grace Bennett’s intervention, Frank Bennett no longer had the chance to intersect with Vanessa Grant.

Diane Bennett wouldn’t have to go through a period of heartache as she did in her previous life.

Perhaps because of this, Diane Bennett might live a few more years in this life.

Frank Bennett was the same.

Without hundreds of billions in assets, he wouldn’t constantly have a bevy of women after him.

Without excessive indulgences, he too could live a few more years.

The remaining three million would be used in the future to buy some stocks with potential for appreciation.

With these, the two of them, and both their large families, would no longer have to worry about their livelihood and could live the life they wanted, completely different from their previous one.

In the blink of an eye, winter break arrived.

Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett took a trip to Chuancheng, formally recognized Daphne Reyes as their kin, and resolved all her worries.

With the memories of their previous lives, the two also advanced rapidly in their studies.

By the time they were seventeen, they were both admitted to Meridian University.

At this time, Isabelle Whitfield was still in her senior year of high school.

Friends and relatives well known from their previous life, Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett had acknowledged them all.

The only difference was that in this life, Ethan Cole had no entanglement with Chloe Winters.

Moreover, under Ethan Cole’s guidance, this life’s Chloe Winters didn’t drop out of school.

She would properly finish college and then start working.

It only took a year and a half for Ethan Cole and Grace Bennett to complete their education and graduate early.

Without specifically focusing on making money, their assets had also exceeded two billion.

After receiving their diplomas, the two invited both parents for a meal and arranged their engagement over dinner.

Then, they began preparing for their global travel.

They bought an RV and spent a month fully modifying and reinforcing it.

Ethan Cole planned the route.

The first leg was starting from home, with the ultimate goal of circling the world before returning.

Everything was ready.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the sky was clear.

Ethan Cole sat in the driver’s seat, while Grace Bennett sat in the passenger’s seat.

“Starting the engine,” Ethan Cole ignited the ignition.

“We’re off,” Grace Bennett raised both hands, cheering, “Around the world we go~”

The RV slowly started, gathering speed on the road.

The sun’s rays illuminated the vehicle, the radiant light bringing infinite hope.

In this life, they embarked on a different path.

What remained the same was that in this life as well, they would be very happy, very sweet.

PS: That’s it, the end. This book was actually supposed to conclude around 1.5 million words.

But I forcibly stretched it by 300,000 words.

High EQ: I didn’t want to say goodbye to everyone so soon.

Low EQ: I wanted to earn some more money.

I contemplated this ending for a long time.

This book indeed has a lot of emotions invested in it, so I wanted to give the male and female protagonists a very good ending.

After all the vicissitudes, they are still young upon return.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll update additional stories, so please don’t remove the book from your shelf, many thanks.

Chapter 910

2018, summer, Harvestland’s capital.

The main city had two major buildings.

One was Sovereign Hall, and the other was the newly built QuickRead Group building.

In recent years, they had gradually moved some domestic business and excellent employees here.

Because the business trip benefits were so good, the company even promised to allocate houses to those who stayed here for a year.

So quite a lot of employees were vying to come here.

...

“Good morning, boss~”

Walking into the company, many employees greeted him with a smile.

They felt no different here than they did back home.

Their food, clothing, residence, and travel were all excellent, and the business trip benefits were extraordinarily high.

So each one of them came to work with a sparkle in their eye, full of enthusiasm.

They were afraid the group might go bankrupt, and they’d never find such a good job again.

Ethan Cole nodded with a smile.

He walked into his own office.

After handling some simple affairs, he called Avi, asking her to come over.

A week before, Avi had completed the task Ethan Cole had set for her three years ago.

She had successfully promoted Halcyon cellphones and QuickReel to the overseas market.

Now that the mission was accomplished, it was time to fulfill the promise Ethan Cole had made at the start.

“Knock knock knock…”

A knocking sound came from the door.

Ethan Cole responded.

Then the office door opened and Avi walked in.

Immediately, the whole office seemed to light up a bit.

Her figure was gracefully curvaceous yet firm, like a ripe peach in the height of summer, exuding an enticing charm.

A tight-fitting long dress accentuated her tall figure, the hem brushing the ground, every step she took swayed with grace, fully exhibiting her sexy demeanor.

Her golden wavy hair was like the sparkling sea under the sunset, casually draped over her shoulders, each strand shimmering with dazzling light and unrestrained allure.

Her sapphire-like eyes shone brilliantly, captivating and enthralling.

With her lips slightly parted, she added a touch of mystery and temptation.

It made one unable to resist offering her a favor.

Ethan Cole too hadn’t seen Avi for a long while.

Today, upon seeing her, he found her charm had increased tremendously.

Her figure had also become more voluptuous.

“Boss, you wanted to see me~” Avi said coyly.

She was wearing an outfit that had a very Eastern charm today, yet her face bore an exotic allure.

The two distinct qualities blended seamlessly in her.

“Mm.” Ethan Cole stood up and walked to the guest area, “Have a seat.”

Avi responded with an “Oh” and sat opposite Ethan Cole.

Watching Ethan Cole focus on making tea, a trace of admiration and longing flashed deep in her eyes.

The boss was becoming more charming by the day.

Especially those hands, so slender and fair.

If they were used for… wouldn’t that be heavenly?

Avi blushed.

She quickly shook her head, driving those thoughts from her mind.

Her movement wasn’t large, but it still caused her ample bosom to sway slightly.

There was no helping it, she was just too buxom.

Even a small movement would create a dramatic effect.

Ethan Cole poured her a cup of tea, “Try this, I feel like my tea-making skills have improved recently.”

Over the years, Avi had also learned to appreciate tea.

She picked it up, gently blew on the rim, then took a sip.

Her eyes brightened, “Delicious, the aftertaste is sweet and refreshing. Boss, you’re so talented.”

And silently added in her heart: I wish to be *.

I wonder if it’s because of age or some other reason.

Every time Avi saw Ethan Cole, her mind involuntarily conjured many images that needed to be censored.

If people outside knew that the renowned businesswoman spent all day thinking about such things, they would probably be shocked to their core.

“Here, take a look at these,” Ethan Cole handed two documents to Avi.

One was the appointment letter for the position of vice president of the group.

The other was the promised reward.

After reading them, Avi was so excited that she trembled all over.

With these rewards, her personal assets had now exceeded ten billion.

Although she still couldn’t compare to Ethan Cole, the gap between them had at least narrowed a bit.

Even a slight improvement in her relationship with this man made Avi very happy.

Ethan Cole smiled and said, “Given the high completion rate of your task this time, I’m very satisfied.”

“Therefore, within reasonable limits, I can agree to one more request from you.”

“Wow, really?” Avi’s eyes lit up.

She thought to herself, boss, can I possibly put up with you?

Of course, she knew that was definitely not possible.

At this moment, Avi’s clever little brain quickly spun.

Thinking about how to maximize her own benefits.

Soon, she had a plan.

She said to Ethan Cole, “I would like to have dinner alone with the boss tonight, if that’s okay?”

Ethan Cole nodded, “Of course, that’s fine.”

“Wow, that’s great.” Avi danced around excitedly.

Then, an embarrassing incident occurred.

Because Avi was overly vigorous.

The collar of her shirt, having endured great stress, gave way.

As a result of her excessive movements, the top two buttons popped open.

In an instant, the office was filled with just one color…

Shockingly, the baby granary was exposed without any cover.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Avi stiffened.

Ethan Cole, seeing the scene before him, was stunned as well.

Then, he felt a bit thirsty.

It was a scene that neither had anticipated.

Avi’s brain momentarily crashed!

Once she came to her senses, her entire face turned blood red.

However, she didn’t scream like most young girls would.

Instead, she blushed and bent down, pretending nothing had happened, trying to find the two buttons.

Ethan Cole, feeling a bit awkward, touched his nose and also squatted down to help search.

“Ah, can’t find them, maybe under the sofa?” Avi muttered as she looked under the sofa.

She was facing away from Ethan Cole.

Her backside was perfectly aligned with Ethan Cole; the shape was immaculate.

As if silently telling him something.

Avi was a woman who could drive any man wild.

At her prime age of twenty-four or twenty-five, she was radiantly attractive.

Due to her ongoing crush on Ethan Cole, despite the multitude of suitors, she had not yet settled down with anyone.

People speculated whether her tastes were somewhat unusual.

“Phew, found them,” Avi got up, having secured the two buttons.

But then she faced another problem: “Oh dear, there doesn’t seem to be any needle and thread here, and even if there were, I wouldn’t know how to use it.”

“There’s needle and thread,” Ethan Cole retrieved a sewing kit from his drawer.

He waved at Avi, “Come here, let me help you stitch it up.”

Avi discovered another admirable trait in Ethan Cole.

If it weren’t for the last bit of rationality she clung to, she might have turned into a werewolf and pounced on him already.

Chapter 911: A Date for Two

Sewing was not difficult for Ethan Cole.

He held a button in his left hand and a needle and thread in his right, sewing it onto Avi’s clothing.

Avi held her breath, but her heart was pounding furiously.

This action brought the two of them very close.

So close that the hot breath Ethan Cole exhaled was wafting onto Avi’s face.

Her body felt weak in waves, and an unusual redness appeared on her skin.

...

Especially!!!

When Ethan Cole’s hand unintentionally touched her own… it made Avi scream internally like a groundhog.

I’m over myself!

To be so close to the boss!

“Done,” Ethan Cole said after sewing the two buttons, “You can go back to work now.”

Suddenly, without thinking, Avi blurted out, “Boss, could you button it up for me too!”

As soon as she said it, Ethan Cole was stunned.

And Avi died a social death right there.

She quickly turned and ran away.

Her retreating figure was also exceptionally attractive.

Especially the two…they trembled slightly as she ran, highly captivating to watch.

Ethan Cole withdrew his gaze.

He couldn’t look any longer.

If he kept looking, he would lose control.

---

Today, Avi left work early.

She declined all offers from colleagues to celebrate her promotion.

She rushed home at top speed.

Into the bathroom.

She wanted to wash herself clean and dress up beautifully, aiming to leave a deep impression on Ethan Cole tonight.

Inside the bathroom, the lights were dim.

In the midst of swirling steam, Avi’s fiery silhouette appeared intermittently.

She gently turned her sexy body, each inch of her skin under the warm water seemed more delicate, like freshly bloomed petals, emanating a gentle pink glow.

Her long legs moved gently in the clear water, the lines smooth and elegant, like the most upright bamboo in the forest, strong yet graceful.

Water droplets slid down her tight abdomen, outlining enviable curves, each drop seemingly narrating the vitality and beauty of youth.

In this private and serene space, she was like a delicate rose quietly blooming.

After the bath, Avi walked barefoot to the bedroom.

She opened the wardrobe and began to choose.

“Umm, this set won’t do, too plain.”

“This set… too flashy, the boss will think I’m easy.”

“This set… lacks any distinctive features.”

After a long selection process, Avi finally chose a bodycon skirt, black stockings, and fifteen-centimeter high heels.

Her figure was already fantastic.

In the tight bodycon skirt, her exquisite body curves were outlined, displaying her graceful charm.

The black stockings lightly wrapped around her legs, adding an element of mystery and allure, revealing an indescribable sensuality.

The thin high heels accentuated her elegance and charm.

Not only did they elongate her already long legs, but they also added a commanding presence.

And they even displayed ten crystal-clear toes.

Each one was like a green grape glistening with water droplets, plump and round.

One could almost dip them in sugar and eat them directly.

Avi stood in front of a full-length mirror, turned a few times, and was very satisfied with her outfit.

She carried a bit of a professional woman’s flair, while perfectly showcasing her physical advantages.

Ethan Cole would definitely like it after seeing it.

Then she brushed her teeth and sprayed some fresh breath spray.

Finally, she spritzed on some perfume, applied body lotion, and delightedly headed out.

She hoped tonight’s date would go smoothly.

If she could get the boss drunk and then… it would be even more wonderful.

Although she knew this possibility wasn’t very high.

But what if?

---

Ethan Cole worked until five o’clock at the company and sent Grace Bennett a message, saying he would not be returning for dinner tonight.

At five-thirty, he arrived at the private dining room of the restaurant he had arranged to meet Avi at.

This restaurant was also Ethan Cole’s property.

For safety reasons, he had built hotels and restaurants in every part of Harvestland for his own use as well as for those close to him.

To prevent any accidents.

“Boss, you’re here,” Avi greeted Ethan Cole with a heartfelt smile as soon as she saw him enter.

“Mm,” Ethan Cole nodded his head, “Did you arrive early? You look beautiful tonight.”

Avi, flattered by the compliment, felt extremely good.

They sat down.

Avi mustered her courage and sat next to Ethan Cole.

A scent resembling a mix of roses and red wine wafted from Avi.

This aroma intoxicated the senses.

And it had quite a heady effect.

Avi ordered a table full of seafood and a bottle of vintage red wine.

She was crafty.

She chose all kinds of nourishing seafood.

Thinking if Ethan Cole ate too much and got overheated, along with the alcohol…

Avi never thought about marrying Ethan Cole; that was unrealistic.

She just wanted to possess Ethan Cole once, and that would be enough.

They had known each other for six or seven years, so there was nothing awkward between them.

They enjoyed their meal while chatting, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

After eating for over an hour.

They finished all the food and drink.

Ethan Cole had consumed more than half the bottle of red wine.

He was a bit flushed and slightly dizzy.

This wine was strong.

Coupled with the consuming of much nourishing seafood, his body was now extremely warm.

“I’m going to use the restroom.”

Ethan Cole stood up and walked into the washroom inside the private room.

Avi was no better off.

Her cheeks were red, and as she looked toward the washroom, her eyes revealed her desire for Ethan Cole.

It’s said that alcohol boosts courage.

Having reached this point, Avi decided to go one step further.

She took a deep breath and opened another bottle of red wine.

Without allowing it to breathe, she took a large gulp directly from the bottle.

Then she rinsed her mouth with warm water and staggered to the restroom door.

As Ethan Cole opened the door, he saw Avi standing there.

Her eyes were blurry, and her arms, neck, and earlobes were flushed red.

Ethan Cole, taken aback, “Do you also need to use the restroom? Go ahead.”

He said, stepping aside.

“I don’t want to use the restroom. I want to…”

It’s said that alcohol boosts courage.

Avi was indeed feeling bold.

She lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Ethan Cole’s waist.

She tiptoed and kissed him.

“Boom!”

In an instant, Avi’s mind went blank.

Only one thought remained.

The boss’s lips taste so good.

Ethan Cole swallowed.

Under the dual influence of alcohol and the abundance of nourishing seafood, his willpower was gradually eroded away.

Finally, Ethan Cole picked Avi up and set her on the windowsill.

This windowsill was made of double-glazed glass.

One could clearly see outside from within.

But from the outside, not a single thing inside was visible.

Avi’s heartbeat raced.

Was the boss about to…

Chapter 912: Prudence

Ethan Cole’s scalding breath nearly overwhelmed Avi.

She felt as if she had guzzled a large bottle of alcohol, her skin turning red and purplish.

She was in a strange state.

Tipsy yet experiencing a slight sting, accompanied by an indescribable sensation.

By now, Ethan Cole had actually sobered up.

But the arrow was already on the bow and had to be shot.

...

Since the mistake was already made, he might as well see it through to the end.

Avi’s body was soft, like a balloon filled with water.

Avi had a high overall score.

If perfect was a hundred, she could get ninety-two.

The only ones Ethan Cole knew with scores over ninety were those few around him.

Naturally, the only one who could score perfectly was Grace Bennett alone.

“Boss~” Avi looked at Ethan Cole’s eight-pack abs with seductive eyes.

Her voice was coquettish, with a hint of tipsiness, “Do you work out often?”

“Mhm,” Ethan Cole grunted deeply through his nose.

“No wonder…” Avi’s eyes brightened with realization.

Ethan Cole: “No wonder what?”

Avi: “No wonder Boss’s stamina is so good, ying ying ying.”

Ethan Cole: “…”

After a long while, the two sat in front of the bay window.

Both holding a cup of sour plum drink.

Neither spoke, sipping their drink and watching the scene outside the window.

Ethan Cole didn’t know what to say, while Avi needed time to digest after eating too much.

As is well known, sour plum drinks whet the appetite…

“Boss~” After a while, Avi took the initiative to speak, “Can we still… in the future?”

Ethan Cole: “Our relationship must be kept secret, but if you perform well at work, I will reward you accordingly. Can you accept that?”

If Avi couldn’t accept it, then he would have to resolve the matter with money.

“I’m willing, I’m willing!” Avi nodded furiously.

Tonight had already been an unexpected gain.

Avi hadn’t dared to hope for a future.

Now Ethan Cole was telling her that as long as she worked hard, there would be rewards to come.

It seemed like a pie falling from the sky.

Only a fool would disagree.

Ethan Cole checked the time, it was nearly ten o’clock.

So he planned to leave.

“Boss, why don’t you * me one more time?” Avi blinked, full of expectation.

After tonight, who knew when the next time would be.

Ethan Cole asked doubtfully, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

It was Avi’s first time engaging in this activity, and Ethan Cole was worried that too long an exercise might harm her muscles.

“I’m not scared.” Avi shook her head cheerfully, “Our physique is different from the girls here.”

Ethan Cole thought about it and agreed.

The women from where she came could jump around the day after giving birth, not needing to recover, even taking a bath on the same day.

“Alright.” Ethan Cole naturally wanted to fulfill this small request.

He was also worried that Avi might tell Grace Bennett about this affair.

It was past one in the morning when Ethan Cole finally got home.

Mainly because he took a shower afterward to get rid of some of the scents, which took some time.

When he got home, Grace Bennett and the child were already asleep.

At this age, the child didn’t want to sleep alone.

Clinging to Grace Bennett every day.

Ethan Cole had to sleep in the study.

The next day, Ethan Cole woke up and saw that Grace Bennett was not at home.

She had taken the three kids to school.

Despite having a plethora of drivers and bodyguards at home, Grace Bennett still wanted to personally take them.

Astrid Cole and Juniper Cole were now in the first grade of elementary school.

Rhett Cole was in kindergarten.

On the dining table was breakfast prepared by Grace Bennett herself.

Ethan Cole sat down and leisurely enjoyed the meal.

At the same time, he handled some accumulated official business.

His phone vibrated.

It was a set of photos sent over by Avi.

After last night’s event, she became much bolder in front of Ethan Cole.

The pictures were a series of very sexy bikini shots.

And the angles were captured very well.

They were provocative enough to make one’s blood rush.

With a critical eye, Ethan Cole thoroughly appreciated them before deleting them.

Be prudent!

After breakfast, Ethan Cole went to the front yard.

There was a lot of work, but now he had cultivated some qualified and trustworthy subordinates.

They could help him alleviate a lot of work pressure.

At the sa
