"What brings you to Lyria?" Eleanor Sterling asked.
Hazel Langley fiddled with her hair and said, "Of course I’m here to shoot an advertisement, and after that, I might as well visit little Samuel."
Her secret child, Samuel Langley, had been secretly raised abroad for many years. Hazel Langley only visited him secretly when she had work or during holidays.
Eleanor Sterling was silent for a while before speaking, "Does Jasper Faulkner know about Samuel? Do you plan to tell him?"
Hazel Langley’s smile faltered, then she looked with a serene understanding.
"He doesn’t know. I realize that what we have may not last long, so it’s best to cherish the present. Letting him know wouldn’t be a good thing."
Eleanor Sterling didn’t know who the biological father of Hazel Langley’s child was, so she instinctively assumed the child wasn’t related to Jasper Faulkner.
Nevertheless, she was impressed by Hazel Langley’s perspective.
Despite being with Jasper Faulkner, she had no reservations and just wanted to be together, even if she knew there was no good ending.
Yet, Eleanor was still hesitant and couldn’t make up her mind with Alaric Faulkner.
At this moment, Eleanor Sterling felt a bit shaken.
She thought maybe she should also be like Hazel Langley, throw everything behind and not think too much about the consequences, to cherish the moment.
Eleanor Sterling felt a sense of clarity, and her mood became noticeably brighter.
She said cheerfully, "If I’m done, I’ll go with you to see little Samuel too."
Hazel Langley smiled teasingly and said, "Hey, I just saw you with President Faulkner, your relationship seems to be progressing well."

Seeing her teasing look, Eleanor Sterling blushed and snorted, "Isn’t this what you said, to enjoy the moment."
Hazel Langley was taken aback, then laughed heartily, and Eleanor Sterling also smiled lightly.
Eleanor Sterling hooked her arm around Hazel Langley’s and said, "Come shopping with me, I need to buy gifts for little Estelle and Caleb."
"Oh, Caleb is President Faulkner’s son, right? Born to Faye Sterling. Look at you, managing to snag President Faulkner.
You even managed to ’snag’ Faye Sterling’s son along with him. Is she not furious?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Eleanor Sterling looked exasperated.
However, she realized she indeed snagged Faye Sterling’s son, as Caleb Faulkner had already started calling her Mom Eleanor.
Eleanor Sterling hooked her shoulder, "If we keep chatting, there won’t be any time left. Right, I need to ask little Estelle what gift she wants, wait a moment."
She took out her phone and put the Bluetooth earpiece in her ear to make a transcontinental video call to Estelle Sterling.
Estelle Sterling’s little face appeared on the other side of the phone, with Caleb Faulkner beside him.
"Sister Eleanor, have you arrived?"
Eleanor Sterling raised the phone a bit higher, allowing them to see the bustling street behind her, filled with the distinct customs of Aethelgard.
"I’m here, look, I’ve also met Hazel Langley."
"Aunt Hazel!" Estelle Sterling immediately waved, and Caleb Faulkner joined in greeting.
Hazel Langley leaned closer, smiling at the camera, "Hello, little ones."
Eleanor Sterling adjusted the phone and said, "Alaric Faulkner asked me to buy you gifts, what do you want? I’m going shopping with your Aunt Hazel now."
Estelle Sterling sighed helplessly, feeling a little frustrated.
"Sister Eleanor, do you know what a surprise is? Talking about gifts takes away the surprise."
Moreover, he had told Alaric Faulkner to let Eleanor Sterling buy gifts just to let them stroll together a bit, fostering their relationship.
At this time, Estelle Sterling noticed that Alaric Faulkner wasn’t beside Eleanor Sterling, and asked curiously, "Where did Hades go?"
"He went to handle something for me, so I’m here to buy gifts for you."
Estelle Sterling pouted, feeling a little disappointed, "Alright then."
"What do you want to buy?"
With his plan failed, Estelle Sterling answered disinterestedly, "Whatever you buy, we’ll like it."
After hanging up, Eleanor Sterling and Hazel Langley wandered around the pedestrian street.
Passing by a toy store, Hazel Langley said, "Eleanor, let’s buy some toys. Little Samuel loves Lego, and I guess little Estelle and Caleb would like it too."
Eleanor Sterling nodded and went into the store with Hazel Langley.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they saw two familiar figures, Giselle Keating and Claire Truman.
