Chapter 630
“I haven’t decided yet,” Wendy muttered.
Samuel pulled out a golden–embossed invitation.
“Don’t wait any longer. You should leave tomorrow. The Capital is hosting the Zenith Gala soon, and they’ve invited the top 100 from the Forbes Billionaires list. Everyone there will be powerful and influential. This is your invitation.”
Wendy took the elegant, gold–embossed invitation and opened it inside, it displayed the name “Jolin“.
“The CEO of NovaHealth, the world’s largest pharmaceutical conglomerate, Jolin, will be attending the Zenith Gala. The news has already spread, and your presence there will be the highlight of the event. This is the perfect opportunity to head to the Capital.”
Jolin was Wendy’s alias and the powerful owner behind NovaHealth
Wendy didn’t refuse, but her gaze shifted to Bella, who was sitting with a nanny and busy drawing “But if I go to the Capital, what about Bella? She’s never been apart from me for this long. She’s very clingy.”
Wendy was clearly worried about her daughter.
Samuel raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you bringing her with you?”
Wendy shook her head. “I’m not.”
“Why not? Are you worried about Bella meeting her father?”
Wendy stared out into the distance.
“Stanley and I are done. Now, he’s marrying the daughter of the richest man. I don’t want Bella to meet Stanley yet, even though I know it’s unfair to her. She has the right to know who her father is…but I’m being selfish. I don’t want her caught up in the politics between the Hawk and Larson families. I just want her to be healthy and happy, always.”
Samuel nodded, respecting Wendy’s decision. Bella was Wendy’s daughter, the child she had fought so hard to bring into the world. Wendy had every right to make that choice.
“You go to the Capital. I’ll take care of Bella.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Why? Don’t you trust me?” With that, Samuel called, “Bella, come here.”
Bella immediately ran over, her little hands and feet a blur. She jumped into Samuel’s arms. “Daddy Sam, why did you call for me?”
Samuel kissed her on the cheek. “Your mommy has to go on a business trip for a few days. Will you stay with me and play while she’s gone?”
Bella looked up at Wendy. “Mommy, are you going far away?”
Wendy nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“Then can I go with you? I want to be with you.”
Bella wanted to go with Wendy to the Capital.
Wendy smiled softly. “I’m going there for work, so I won’t have time to take you. I’ll only be gone for a few days, but I’ll be back really soon. You stay and have fun with Daddy Sam, okay? I’ll video chat with you every day.”
Bella nodded. “Okay…”
“Good girl.”

The next day, Wendy finished packing her bags. Samuel and Bella took her to the airport.
“Don’t worry,” Samuel said. “Go ahead and take care of what you need to.”
Bella waved. “Bye, Mommy…”
Wendy kissed Bella goodbye before boarding the private plane heading to the Capital.
Samuel held Bella close. “Let’s go home.”
Bella spotted a vendor selling chocolate–coated strawberries. “Daddy Sam, can you buy me some chocolate–coated strawberries?”
Samuel gently placed Bella on a seat in the terminal. “Sure. Stay right here. I’ll be back with them.”
As Samuel went off to buy the treats, Bella sat waiting obediently.
Just then, a tall and handsome figure appeared in the airport lobby—it was Stanley.
