Johnathan handed the bag in his hand to Sierra as he spoke. The two of them had an easy rhythm.

Sierra nodded without acknowledging Chase and went inside first.

“What do you want?”

Johnathan turned to Chase, who was still in a daze.

He’d heard everything Johnathan and Sierra had just said–and he could hardly believe it. He never imagined his son could be so… down–to–earth.

Looking into Johnathan’s calm, unreadable eyes, Chase finally remembered why he’d come.

“I heard what you told your grandfather. Johnathan, no matter how much you hate me, don’t leave the Wynn family.”

“That’s what you came here to say?” Johnathan replied coolly.

“Yes.”

“Don’t be so stubborn, Johnathan. This is important.”

Chase pressed his lips together before adding, “You know… your mother always preferred calling you Sam over Johnathan.”

Johnathan had chosen the name “Johnathan” for himself as a child. He’d asked his mother why he couldn’t have her last name. She told him it had to be Wynn.

Back then, Johnathan wasn’t afraid of anything. He’d picked a name and told his mother–but instead of being happy, she’d scolded him harshly, which was totally out of character for her.

That had been years ago. He’d long forgotten it–until Chase brought it up just now.

Now that he thought about it, her reaction had been strange. It was just a name. But she’d been unusually insistent on the Wynn surname.

Suddenly, a thought came to him.

“How did you and my mom end up together?” he asked.

Chase froze for a moment, then instinctively replied, “Because we were in love, of course.””

The moment he said it, he knew it was the wrong answer. Sure enough, when he looked up, Johnathan’s eyes were full of mocking amusement.

Chase gave a bitter smile. “Believe it or not, that’s how it really was.”

Johnathan didn’t comment on that. Instead, he asked another question.

“Do you know what happened to my grandparents?”

This time, Chase visibly paused.

But he didn’t meet Johnathan’s eyes when he said it. His son was too sharp. Chase had a nagging feeling that Johnathan might already suspect something. He began to wonder how he’d respond if Johnathan kept pressing him.
