"This is why I'm in such a hurry," Benjamin explained.
With each passing moment, the world continued to forget Shannon's existence and all her associated memories.
One day, she might not even remain in anyone's subconscious.
If Benjamin hadn't engraved her name on his Core Vein Stone that embodied Crisea's fortune and the pulse of its mountains and rivers, perhaps that name would have vanished with time.
He dared not imagine what such consequences meant, so right now, all he could do was fight with everything he had.
…
Hector didn't press him further.
Upon returning to the Jensen residence, he noticed Janice picking out Eva's jewelry from a newly delivered batch.
Eva's birthday was approaching, and the family was preparing her birthday party look in advance.
Since Alex and Linda's divorce, Janice had taken over planning Eva's birthday for the past two years.
Right now, she held up a princess tiara beside Eva's head and took the measurements, saying, "As our Jensen family's only little princess, you should wear something fit for royalty, don't you think?"
For some reason, that phrase "only little princess" made Hector deeply uncomfortable. That was especially after starting to suspect that he once had a sister.
He opened his mouth and was ready to speak when Eva corrected Janice with a serious expression. "Aunt Janice, I'm not the only princess. Our family has two princesses!"
Hector's pupils trembled. For a brief moment, he thought Eva remembered something and took a step forward, only to hear the latter say, "Marshmallow is a princess too!"
His heart, which had started to rise with hope, sank once more. But soon, another question struck him.
"When did Marshmallow start living with us?"
Considering Marie hated all furry animals, how had Marshmallow joined their household and become a treasured member of the family?
His question was directed at Eva's group on the couch.
