Scarlett arrived at the office entrance and immediately spotted Nate’s car parked there, as if he’d been
waiting for quite a while.
She knew there was no avoiding what wasing.
With that thought, she walked straight over, opened the car door, and got in.
Nate was looking at his phone, momentarily surprised when he saw her, then nced outside the car.
“No need to look, it’s just me!” Scarlett said.
Nate finally rxed, his narrow eyes clouded with an inexplicable gloom. “Scarlett, is there nothing you want
to say to me?”
“It was an ident!” Scarlett exined directly. “I called and texted you, but you didn’t see them, didn’t
answer, and didn’t reply!”
“I…” Nate started to say something, “I left my phone in the car, didn’t see a thing.”
“So it’s not my fault!” Scarlett said calmly, showing no guilt. She had done her best.
“Tara was there too, you should have told me sooner!” Nate said, looking at her.
“I told you the moment I found out, I didn’t know much earlier than you!” Scarlett’s tone remained t, her
emotions not particrly intense.
Nate looked at her, naturally trusting her words. After all these years, he knew her too well. She said what
she meant, with no need or desire to lie.
Yet, there was an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart.

After a long silence. Nate nced at her and spoke, Sa, Tara is close to your three kids?
Scarlet nodded, not denying it. “Yeah, they’re friends. They seem to get along well.”
Nate’s frown deepened. Although he hadn’t seen Tara in years, he still knew a bit about her.
“Tara is part of the Dark Web, and you know that. Aren’t you wormed?” Nate asked narrowing his eyes at
Scarlett
Scarlett paused for a moment before responding with a question of her own Worried about what? That she
might harm the kids”
Even though Nate understood Tara well enough to know she wouldn’t harm the kids, if it were a mission, who
could say for sure?
“Given her background, it’s not surprising you’re concerned. Mane said, his gaze steady on her. “You know
Tara‘
Nate Thome looked at her, puzzled “You know her identity is extremely dangerous. Normally, with her
getting so close to your three kids, you’d be on guard. But you don’t seem worried at all.”
Scarlett Adler pressed her lips together and replied calmly. “Who said I haven’t been cautious?” she
countered
Nate squinted, “Then why are you letting things continue?
Scarlett smiled slightly, “I don’t want to take away their right to make friends. Besides, if you truly understood
those three, you wouldn’t find their friendship surprising.”
Indeed, with her exceptional talent inherited from her father, those three kids were bound to be extraordinary
Though they were often secretive, Scarlett never interfered, nor did she want to strip them of their natural

Freedom was the only thing Scarlett could truly offer them.
“What do you mean?” Nate didn’t quite grasp her point.
Scarlett took a deep breath, “The meaning isn’t important now. What’s important is that Tara Green isn’t that
kind of person. So, what do you n to do?”
Nate Thorne’s eyes were dark as he let out a cold smile, “What can I do…”
“Tara Green is a good girl, worth cherishing!” Scarlett said, looking at him.
“I know better than anyone how good she is. It’s precisely because she’s so good that I don’t deserve her…”
Nate murmured, a hint of pain shing beneath his captivating eyes.
Scarlett paused, unsure of what to say.
She couldn’t even sort out her own issues, let alone give advice on someone else’s.
Not being skilled at handling emotional matters, she chose to remain silent.
Nate looked at her and spoke, “Yesterday, your son warned me not to hurt her, or he wouldn’t let me off.”
“First said that?”
Nate nodded.
Scarlett’s lips curled slightly, “Well, I suggest you listen to First and cherish her, or he really might not let you
off<b>!</b><b>” </b>
Nate frowned, “Instead offorting me, you’re making snide remarks. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be

here, and I wouldn’t have met Tara Green!”
“Don’t you think it’s fate? The universe is giving you a chance to make things right. Hiding forever isn’t a
solution!” Scarlett said.
Nate knew this, but he was scared.
He’d rather avoid her than have her hate him for life…
Besides, he’d hurt her once before, and he never wanted to relive that moment.
Seeing Nate still hesitating, Scarlett continued, “Well, it’se to this point, how you handle it is up to you.
It’s gettingte, I’m heading upstairs!”
“Wait!” Nate called out.
Scarlett turned back to him, and Nate pulled out a bag from behind him, handing it to her. “This is a birthday
gift and a wee present for the three of them. I left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn’t get a chance to
give it to them!”
Scarlett looked at the delicate box inside the bag, opened it, and found a specially crafted ne.
“What is this?”
“Wearing this, <i>no </i>matter where they go, in any country, if they face danger, anyone who recognizes it will
offer help and rescue without hesitation,” Nate exined.
Scarlett paused for a moment.
She nced up at Nate, fully aware of how valuable this gift was.
It was like they each had a personal “good luck charm” with them at all times.

After a moment of thought, Scarlett spoke, “First warned you. Aren’t you upset?”
“Would I get upset with a kid?” Nate replied with a question.

Scarlett smiled and then said, “Since this gift is so precious, you should give it to them yourself!” She pushed
it back toward him.
Nate frowned, “Do you think I dare show up?”
“What, nning to keep hiding?”
Nate’s brow furrowed, “I just don’t want things to get out of hand!”
“You make cowardice sound so noble!” Scarlett pointed out bluntly.
Nate sighed, “So, do you want it or not?”
“Of course I do!” Scarlett took it without hesitation. A life–saving charm is always handy, and she wasn’t
foolish. After taking it, she looked at him, “In that case, I’ll thank you on behalf of the three of them!”
“Just make sure they don’t threaten me too much,” Nate said.
“Well, that’s something I can’t really control!”
Nate was speechless, “…”
“But I’ll pass the message along!” Scarlett replied, tucking the items into her bag.
“I’m going away for a while. I’ll reach out when it’s time for your next treatment,” Nate said.
Scarlett looked at him and nodded.
