Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1721

It was Helen. His boss had returned.

Helen confirmed his guess once more. "Yes, it's me."

"Hel—" Taylor exclaimed with excitement, quickly catching himself. "I knew it was you; you're the only one capable of inspiring my unwavering admiration."

"Exactly! As Kaylee, I faced life-and-death struggles on the high seas. And now, here I am, alive and well, right in front of you. Are you saying that even a 'weak' woman like me has more fighting spirit than you?" Helen tightened her grip, determined to ignite his resolve.

"Hel—no, Ms. Kaylee, don't worry. I understand now. I won't give up again!" Taylor replied, tears welling in his eyes.

The relief of having Helen back was immense; with her here, his faith wouldn't falter.

In that moment, Taylor felt himself transforming back into the fearless, unstoppable person he used to be, filled with renewed energy.

"Now that's the Taylor I know!" Helen said, giving his arm a reassuring pat. "Get some rest. The engagement party is in two months—you've got time."

"Don't worry! I'm like a cockroach—impossible to get rid of! As long as I'm breathing, Abigail can forget about marrying anyone else!"

At dawn, Adrian woke early in a villa on the outskirts of the city. After freshening up, he quietly returned to the bedroom. He placed a gentle kiss on Ursula's forehead before slipping out without a word.

As the door clicked shut, Ursula stirred awake. She stared at the ceiling for a moment before throwing off the covers and walking to the window. With a cautious hand, she lifted the curtain just enough to peer outside.

Curious, she walked over, the warm milk in hand. To her surprise, she saw a tall figure outside, nervously fumbling with the door's lock.

It struck her as strange; with six bodyguards stationed around the villa, how had anyone gotten this close without being noticed?

Feeling a sudden surge of boldness, she yanked open the curtain, only to find Hobart standing there.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, an awkward silence lingered between them. Nevertheless, Hobart quickly composed himself, pointing to the lock and signaling for her to let him in.

Maybe it had been too long since she'd interacted with anyone. Without a second thought, Ursula opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, breaking the silence.
