The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

After carefully alighting from the car, Avery quickly adjusted his pace, consciously placing himself half a step behind Crown Prince Blaine, and stood ramrod straight. He kept his head slightly lowered, not daring to raise his gaze easily, as if afraid of offending this distinguished figure.

Immediately afterwards, Avery's voice rang out with utmost respect and caution: "Your Highness Prince Blaine, Your Highness Princess Catherine, we have arrived at the main house of the manor. Princess Catherine, the Countess Frostbite and her daughter, whom you are looking for, are waiting in the drawing room."

From the moment his son returned, Avery knew clearly that his son had entered a world entirely different from theirs. Now, facing the Crown Prince and Princess, he naturally followed the royal protocol. For Avery, these titles were not difficult, but what truly moved him was witnessing the enormous changes that had taken place in his adopted son.

The once naive boy has now matured into a composed and elegant young man, exuding an air of nobility in every gesture. Avery couldn't help but recall the days when his son was just an ordinary child from a wealthy family, yet now he moved so freely among royalty. This transformation was truly astonishing, and while Avery felt gratified, he also felt a touch of unfamiliarity. Nevertheless, he was immensely proud of his son's achievements.

Hilbert, the adopted son, was not fond of talking to others from a young age, always silently immersed in his own world. At that time, he was oblivious, unaware of why he was always bullied as a child and didn't know how to fight back. Perhaps it was those painful experiences that caused the already introverted Hilbert to build a high wall deep within his heart, isolating himself from the outside world.

Gradually, Hilbert became increasingly withdrawn, rarely initiating conversations with others. Even so, he remained obedient and dutiful to his parents, never uttering a single disobedient word. However, whenever night fell and he lay alone in bed, an indescribable loneliness and sorrow would well up within Hilbert.

Hilbert displayed extraordinary artistic talent and learning ability from a young age, showing exceptional gift in painting. Whether it's sketching, oil painting, or watercolor, he handles it with ease, using his brush to depict the beautiful world in his heart. Academically, he also excelled, consistently ranking at the top of his class from elementary school to university, making him a true academic star.

Mr. Avery had high hopes for his outstanding son and supported him financially. However, fate dealt him a cruel blow. Just as Hilbert turned 18, a sudden and serious illness struck him. After a thorough diagnosis, the doctors delivered a heartbreaking conclusion: Hilbert's condition was very serious, and he was unlikely to live past the age of 23.

Upon learning the news, Hilbert initially had a very strong will to live. Despite suffering greatly from his illness, he firmly believed he could overcome it and actively cooperated with various treatment plans. However, fate seems to always play tricks on people. In the past two years, due to some inappropriate behaviors and decisions by his wife, Hilbert's mental state has been greatly affected, and his originally firm will to live has gradually weakened.

Even so, Hilbert did not give up treatment and continued to fight the disease tenaciously. However, he was no longer as energetic and vibrant as before; instead, his face was haggard and exhausted. But no matter what, he was using his remaining strength to launch a final challenge against life, and today was different; today he was full of vitality.

After a long period of careful, covert observation, Mr. Avery gradually came to a clear conclusion: Hilbert's blood relatives were exceptionally caring and protective of him, their affection far exceeding what he himself had shown. And the reality was just as Mr. Avery had suspected. Take his own sister, Princess Catherine, for example. Despite being ill and frail, she resolutely came to their estate alone. When she heard her mistress utter those excessive words, Princess Catherine was instantly enraged, showing no mercy to anyone, and immediately retaliated and refuted them.

Mr. Avery quietly observed Princess Catherine, feeling no dissatisfaction or questioning of her actions. In his eyes, everyone is a unique individual with their own principles and bottom lines. He understood this, and therefore viewed Princess Catherine's actions with understanding and tolerance.

When Mr. Avery learned that Hilbert had secretly run away and spent two whole nights without telling anyone, he was initially angry, but now, it seems, he can actually see a hint of relief in his eyes.

Because he understood that Hilbert, who had once been despondent and lost hope in life, had rediscovered the long-dormant vitality and strong will to survive deep within him after this adventure. For someone who has been in darkness for a long time, when they even begin to doubt their own worth and feel useless, if someone can give them abundant love and care at this time, even for just two days, it is enough to make that long-parched heart sprout new flesh and blood and shine with the brilliance of life.

Just then, Mr. Avery slowly pulled himself out of his deep reverie. He blinked, as if just waking from a long, hazy dream. Then, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Prince Blaine.

Upon hearing Avery's words, Prince Blaine strode confidently toward the main building. His steps were firm and powerful, each one seemingly carrying an irresistible authority and determination.

Seeing this, Mr. Avery quickly snapped out of his daze, organized his somewhat chaotic thoughts, and followed him toward the main building.

And so, led by Mr. Avery, the group marched toward the main manor house. They passed through neatly manicured garden paths, past exquisite fountains and sculptures, and soon arrived at the imposing gates of the main manor house.

As the heavy, exquisitely carved doors were slowly pushed open, an atmosphere of luxurious elegance washed over us. The first thing that caught our eye was the soaring dome, breathtakingly high. Several crystal chandeliers hung from the dome, like dazzling stars cascading down from the night sky, radiating a warm and soft glow. These rays danced merrily on the gold-leaf wallpaper, reflecting exquisite, vintage-style patterns, unfolding like a magnificent, colorful painting before our eyes.

Stepping into the center of the living room, a huge Persian rug covers the floor. Its intricate and delicate patterns seem to whisper mysterious tales from distant lands, captivating the viewer. Upon this magnificent rug sits a set of elegant Louis XV-style sofas. The sofas' curved armrests and carved backrests are exquisitely designed, with flowing, natural lines that exude unparalleled grandeur and opulence.

Looking further to the side, a fireplace made of pristine white marble catches the eye. The roaring flames dance within, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Above the fireplace stands a classical sculpture, its lifelike form seemingly transporting one back to a bygone era. Against the wall, a walnut bookshelf exudes a dignified and composed air, neatly arranged with ancient books bearing gilded covers, emitting a rich aroma. It's the unique fragrance of the wood itself mingling with the scent of ink, a mellow and sophisticated scent accumulated over time, inspiring a sense of longing and tranquility.
