Javier stormed in with a stern expression, exuding deep resentment. He was closely followed by Rory.

"The weather is so good today. Why do you look so gloomy? Don't ruin my day."

Clicking his tongue, Newton shifted his gaze away from Javier's solemn face, showing clear annoyance toward him. "Seeing you makes my chest feel tight. It's like I've lost another two years of life."

Javier paid no mind to banter with Newton. He went straight for Lauren, completely disregarding the presence of the Taylors. "Lauren! Come back with me now!"

Lauren looked visibly frightened, her face turning pale. Instinctively, she clutched her teddy bear and stepped back.

Just as Javier's hand was about to touch her, another hand with taut veins suddenly grabbed his wrist firmly, like a pair of handcuffs.

Lauren's eyes widened abruptly as she looked at the tall figure standing in front of her. "Cyrus..."

Cyrus met Javier's reddened eyes and smiled coldly. "Mr. Javier, please talk things out. You're scaring Lauren."
