Chapter 576:
Clement smacked his forehead in realization. “Oh, of course! While you were gone, we made sure to visit Hiram’s grave every few days.”
The rest of the group chimed in, nodding in agreement with Clement’s declaration.
A warm smile crossed Fernanda’s face. “Thank you.”
“Don’t be so formal! We’re like family, bound together by everything we’ve been through.” Clement smiled. “By the way, Fernanda, what’s the plan? When we get to Esaham, are we working with Leon, or is there something else in mind?”
“I’ve started a game studio. You’ll be working there, but not with Leon.”
The boys’ faces lit up at once, their excitement barely contained. “A game studio? That’s incredible… We’ll… But then, Clement’s words faltered as he watched a strikingly handsome man approach Fernanda, gently caressing her face. His words caught in his throat.
It used to be that anyone daring enough to touch Fernanda’s face would have their hand swiftly broken by her.

His hand remained completely unharmed!
Cristian’s voice broke the silence, calm but curious. “Why are you here in the lobby?”
Clement immediately perked up, elbowing Fernanda with a mischievous grin while wiggling his eyebrows. “Fernanda, care to explain? Who’s the guy?”
“Oh, right. I was about to introduce him,” Fernanda said. “This is my boyfriend.”
No sooner had the words left Fernanda’s lips than Clement leapt to his feet beside her, ushering a handful of boys into a neatly coordinated bow toward Cristian. Together, they shouted, “Hello!” The atmosphere brimmed with an almost theatrical burst of youthful energy.
Cristian, caught off guard by this energetic greeting, hesitated for a moment before his face broke into a warm, acknowledging smile. “Hello, everyone,” he responded, his voice echoing their enthusiasm.

Clement, along with his group, fixed their gaze on Cristian, their eyes sharp and probing, as if trying to unravel the mystery of the man who had captured the heart of the notoriously reserved Fernanda.
“I’ll be stepping out for a while,” Cristian remarked to Fernanda, his tone casual.
With a gentle nod, Fernanda acknowledged his words.
Returning the gesture, Cristian nodded to Clement and the group, then made his way out of the hotel with a confident stride.
“Wow, Fernanda, you’re really seeing someone!” Clement quickly sidled up to Fernanda, his tone teasing yet curious. “Alright, out with it—how did you charm him into falling for you?”
