"Don't say her name! You don't have the right to say her name!" Sally chastised him before storming out the study.

...

"Wow! Can I really have this, Adrian?"

Irene yelled out in surprise when she saw the gift box in Adrian's hands. She kept staring at it, curious about what was inside.

Adrian giggled and said, "Yes! This is a present for my dear sister!"

Adrian handed the gift box over and cautioned, "Be careful. It's a little heavy. If you drop it, it might get hurt."

"Okay!" Irene eagerly carried the box in her arms and turned to Fia. "Mommy! Adrian gave me this present! Can I open it?"

"Of course!" Fia squatted down and helped her daughter to bring the box to the table nearby.

Irene climbed on a chair and excitedly opened the box.

"Bark bark!"

"Oh my! It's a little puppy! A white puppy! He's so cute! Oh, look! Its ears are pink! They look so pretty!"

Irene keenly petted the puppy's head and smiled from ear to ear when she saw the Pomeranian puppy inside the box.

The Pomeranian puppy licked her fingers in response, showing its affection to her.

"I like this puppy! I like him so much!" Irene was so happy that her ears teared up.

Fia wiped Irene's tears off with tissue. Adrian, on the other hand, asked puzzledly, "Why are you crying, Irene?"

"Because I'm so happy! I'm so so happy!"

Irene felt that she could finally forgive her brother for throwing away those small animals back then. This puppy looked so much cuter than those animals!

"Adrian, what's his name?"

Adrian said, "The shop owner said it's called a Pomeranian."

Seeing this, Fia explained patiently to her children, "No, it's a breed. This puppy is a Pomeranian. Just like that other black puppy is of another breed. That one's a Toy Poodle." "Toy? Is Toy a breed too?"

Fia gave her daughter a gentle smile and said, "Why, yes. It's a Toy Poodle."

"Then..." Adrian scratched his head and said, "Irene, perhaps you can give the puppy a name. It's your puppy. So, you should name him!"

"Okay!" Irene looked at the little Pomeranian intently as it kept on licking her fingers.

"Let's call him 'Milo'!"

Myler? That's a peculiar name.

Adrian nodded in agreement. "Sure! His name is Myler!"

Irene realized they did not hear her right and corrected them, "It's Milo! Milo! Not Myler!"

"Oh, Milo." Fia finally got it this time. She patted Irene's head and nodded. "Okay, Milo it is then."

Adrian clapped his hands and said, "Yay! Milo! My little sister is so good with names!"

Irene carefully carried the puppy in her arms and said, "Mommy... Adrian... Let's bring Milo downstairs for a walk, shall we?"

"Sure!" Adrian agreed almost immediately.

Checking the clock, Fia said, "It's already 7PM. Are you sure you want to go out?"

"Let's go, Mommy!" The twins begged with their puppy eyes.

Seeing this, Fia conceded with a sigh. "Alright, alright. But we must come home by eight. Then, you two have to take a bath and go to sleep. Got it?" "Okay, Mommy!"

Conrad felt bored after returning home. So, he summoned Charles Leonard, his driver, and ordered him to bring him to Aurora Residences.

"Sir, why do you want to go there?" Charles asked.

Charles was the driver who hit Conrad with his car five years ago. He was so scared that he had wanted to commit suicide. Luckily, Silas was able to stop him in time after learning, via a quick background check, that he was just another innocent civilian who happened to get caught up in that whole ordeal back then. So, they took him in.

After all, Tiger was not around. So, Silas needed another person to help take care of their boss. Charles lived an honest life all his life and had earnestly wanted to repent for his crime for hitting their boss with a car. So, they hired him as Conrad's driver.
