Owen turned, followed her gaze, and his first reaction was, Holy shit, this guy is tall. And damn, he’s handsome. He hated to admit it, but based on looks alone, he was coming up short. Damn it.

“Tatiana.”

“You… you’re out?”

“Yes. I told you it would be fine. Trust me.”

He held out his hand, a faint smile on his lips. The murderous aura from before was gone, giving no hint of what he’d just been through.

Owen couldn’t help but stare, once again impressed by Tatiana’s taste in men.

“Let’s go. It’s time to go home.”

Tatiana looked down at the outstretched hand.

“Ann will worry if she wakes up and you’re not there.”

His tone was so natural, the gesture so intimate.

Tatiana looked at it for a moment, then took half a step back. “Right. Congratulations on your return.”

Then, she walked right past him.

Jasper looked at his empty hand, his gaze dropping, unable to suppress the emotions raging within him.

Owen looked at Tatiana’s retreating back, then at Jasper’s increasingly terrifying expression, and suddenly remembered what his mom had said: That’s a man you worship, not one you cross.

Just as he thought that, he felt a sharp gaze land on him. Owen instantly tensed.

“Hi?”

“Give my regards to your mother.”

Owen’s eyes went wide. “You know my mom?”

Jasper didn’t answer, just turned and left.

Owen collapsed onto the sofa, letting out a huge breath. “Holy shit, that bastard’s got some serious presence.” He quickly called his mom to pass on the message.

The other end of the line was silent for a long time.

“Mom?”

“Did you steal something from him?”

“How would I dare!”

“Get home. Immediately!”

The line went dead. Owen felt a chill. He’d rarely heard his mom sound so serious.

The ride back was silent.

Tatiana clenched her hands, trying think how to start.

Just as she was about to speak, he said, “The flight back home is tomorrow.”

“Is your… situation handled?”

“Yes.”

She wanted to ask how he’d handled something so serious, but swallowed the words.

“I’m sorry for making you wait.”

“Don’t apologize. We were the ones causing you trouble

Jasper looked down and gave a low laugh. “You’re not trouble. You never were.”

She turned to look out the window, pretending she hadn’t heard.

The next day, they finally boarded the plane home, returning to Dalliston after half a month.

As they were parting ways, Ann asked to hug “Uncle Jiang.”

Tatiana didn’t stop her, and handed Ann over.

Jasper’s expression softened. He held the little bundle, his eyes full of affection. “What is it?”

Ann leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jasper instinctively glanced at Tatiana, who looked back, confused.

Then, he nodded.

A brilliant smile bloomed on Ann’s face.

Tatiana took Ann back, unable to resist asking, “What did you two talk about? Why are you so happy?”

“It’s a secret! Mommy will find out later!”

She joked, “Ann has more and more secrets these days.”

The little one just played with her fingers and said, “Mommy, you look really pretty today.”

Great. A total non–answer.

She carried Ann home.

When they saw them, their faces lit up. Spring was on the verge of tears. “Ann! You sweet child, you’re finally back!

“Spring, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
