Chapter 985

Helios took a glance at Barbara and placed his hand on the back of hers. “It wouldn’t take long before I
disclosed our relationship. Even if Mother didn’t find out about it. I’d still announce that I have a girlfriend
when I quit the entertainment industry.”.

When Elder Master Boucher was about to say something, Yael interrupted him and spoke first. “Since
everyone’s back, just stay here for dinner tonight. Helios, show Barbara around the house and get her
acquainted with everyone when you have the time.”

Helios nodded but took Barbara back to his room first.

Barbara looked at the posters on the wall, almost all of which were his, and the countless trophies that
were being displayed on the bookshelf, which were all the awards that he had won in the film industry
over the years. There were also magazines, interviews, and newspaper article cutouts about him.

She picked up a book and flipped through it. It documented Helios’ journey when he became famous at
the age of 18.

She laughed. “This boy looks nothing like you.”

Helios walked behind her and grabbed the magazine from her. “Do elaborate.”

Barbara turned around. “I even watched your youth drama when I was 15 years old.”

Helios closed the magazine and chuckled.” Oh really?”

Barbara walked around him, approached the desk, picked up a photo frame, and placed it in front of
Helios. “This is still rather surreal to me. I actually own the nation’s dream lover.”



Helios carried her abruptly, placed her onto the desk, and propped both his arms against the desk,
clamping her in the middle. “Then are you happy?”

“Yeah.” Barbara put the photo down and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Then doesn’t that make me
the public enemy of hundreds of millions of ladies?”

Helios kissed her. “But you still have me.”

Barbara lowered her gaze, pushed him away gently, and drew a straight line with her fingers down
across his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and his lips. “I used to think that I would never marry
anyone. That’s because I might not have encountered a man I wanted to marry.” Helios grasped her
hand and held it against his left chest. “Then what about now?”





Barbara looked at him and chuckled. “That’s not necessarily true now. Perhaps I might want to marry
myself someday.”

Helios smiled and took her into his arms. Barbara sank into his embrace, and her cheek rested on his
shoulders as she hugged him tightly.

She told him that she would not have blamed him if he did not choose to protect her when they were
Tony’s captives, but she would never have chosen to be with him.

That was because she had once looked forward to it but was disappointed. Thus, when such a person
did what she had expected him to do, she would think that he must be her soulmate.

But when they had been in the hospital, he wanted to be responsible for her only because of guilt. So
how could she allow it? That was why she thought about how to get closer to him and came up with the



idea of grabbing a drink at a bar.

Before the Winter Festival, Maisie took the three rugrats to Kennedy’s house for a meal.

Daisie hugged Sapphie and stared at the baby in her arms in amazement with her pretty eyes. “Are all
babies so tiny?”

Maisie was helping in the kitchen when she turned her head and said to Daisie,” You and your brothers
were so tiny too when you were babies.” Daisie blinked while Sapphie sucked her own thumb as she
curled up in Daisie’s arms. The baby’s eyes looked so innocent and pure as she stared at Daisie
curiously, giggling from time to time.

Daisie experienced what it felt like being a n elder sister, and it felt very novel to her. However, when
Colton and Wayion approached, Sapphie started crying all of a sudden.

“Wayion, Colton, you’re scaring Sapphie.” Daisie protected Sapphie in her arms. The two brothers felt
extremely wronged and aggrieved as they had not done anything. Kennedy looked at the children and
laughed. “Just try to smile at Sapphie.

She’ll stop crying when you do so.”

Colton realized what he was doing wrongly and laughed at Sapphie. As such, Sapphie stopped crying
and closed her mouth, but the corners of her lips then twitched, and she started crying even louder.
