Hannah nodded. “Yeah, they look alike. If anything, that actually helps Ethan in his attempt to win his wife back.”
Where <i>the </i>child <i>is</i><i>, </i><i>there </i>the <i>mother’s </i><i>heart </i>will <i>be</i><i>. </i>
<i>If </i><i>Benjamin </i><i>likes </i><i>Ethan</i>, <i>then </i>Dawn will <i>naturally </i><i>prioritize </i><i>letting </i><i>him </i><i>be </i><i>the </i><i>child’s </i><i>dad</i><i>! </i>
Tara exchanged a look with her and said firmly, “You’re right. Then there’s no need for us to overthink this. Besides, Benjamin’s so adorable. Having him as my grandson is a win for me!”
“That’s true.”
“Yeah!”
<i>But </i><i>there’s </i><i>still </i><i>a </i><i>third </i><i>party </i><i>meddling </i><i>here</i>. <i>I’d </i><i>better </i><i>remind </i><i>my </i><i>idiot </i><i>son</i>.
Tara called Ethan. When the call connected, she cleared her throat before speaking. “Roxanne came by the house today.”
Ethan paused and asked in a low voice, “Why did shee?”
“What do you think?”
<i>He </i><i>caused </i><i>this </i><i>mess</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>the </i><i>whole </i><i>family </i><i>has </i><i>to </i><i>suffer </i><i>for </i><i>it</i><i>! </i>
Tara snorted coldly. “It’s obviously because of you! She came to make trouble. She ran Dawn into the ground and even showed me a bunch of ridiculous pictures.”
Ethan leaned back in his office chair. The bulge of his Adam’s apple looked like a small hill, hormones practically off the charts.
He closed his eyes and massaged his brow with long fingers.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, “What pictures?”
“Ugh…”
Tara clicked her tongue. <i>How </i><i>have </i><i>I </i><i>never </i><i>noticed </i><i>before </i><i>how </i><i>exhausting </i>it <i>is </i><i>to </i><i>talk </i><i>to </i><i>him</i>?
“Pictures of Dawn with other men!” She didn’t mention Benjamin on purpose and only muttered, “Roxanne’s not easy <i>to </i>deal with. She’ll definitely stir up more troubleter. I’m just reminding you <i>to </i>be careful.”

Ethan hummed. “Anything else?”

Tara was so annoyed that sheughed, then suddenly thought of something and said gleefully, “Dawn said she made you mad. But I think… you just couldn’t lock her down, could you?
“And now with someone sabotaging things, I feel like your road to getting a wife back is going to be a long one.”
The vein at Ethan’s temple twitched. He didn’t say anything.
“I’ve said what I needed to say. Whether you listen is up to you. Anyway, I’ve already told Dawn -if she doesn’t marry you, I’ll take her as my goddaughter. Do whatever you want.”
Tara hung up leisurely. Kids have their own fate. She was done meddling.
Ethan stared at the disconnected call for a long moment, then let out a humorlessugh.
He casually tossed his phone onto the desk and pressed the inte.
“Tony,e in.”
Two minutester, Tony stood in front of the desk, slightly out of breath. “Boss, what can I do for you?”
Ethan opened his eyes. A sharp glint shed at the corner of them. “Have someone keep an eye on Roxanne. The moment anything looks off, stop her.”
Dawn had been busy at thepany all day before she finally caught a break. Mason knocked on her door and came in.
“Ms. West.”
“What is it?”
Mason nced at the fatigue under her eyes and frowned slightly. “Mr. West … has an assignment for you.”
Dawn raised her head. “Why didn’t he call me himself?”
They’d clearly been in contact just a couple of days ago.
“Maybe he heard you’ve been busy and didn’t want to disturb you,” Mason said formally. “There’s an important project in Ithelia that ran into trouble. Mr. West … wants you to go take a look.”

“Ithelia?”
Dawn ran it through her mind. There did seem to be such a project.
“That’s too far.”

She tapped the desk. “This ce isn’t even stable yet, and he wants to send me to Ithelia? What’s he thinking?”
Mason never spected about the boss’s intentions. He stayed put and waited for her instruction.
“I’m not going.”
Dawn thought for a moment and refused.
“Isn’t he just trying to give Roxanne another chance? This is perfect timing. Roxanne’s so capable–I’m sure she’ll be happy to go.”
Mason acknowledged and left.
But only a few minutester, he came back.
This time, it wasn’t a discussion. It was a notification.
“Mr. West says the Ithelia project is very important. You have to go.”
Dawn didn’t know what the old man was plotting, but if he said this much, she clearly had no room <i>to </i>refuse.
As quitting time approached, Victor came to thepany.
Dressed in a tailored suit, hair neatly styled, he finally looked a bit like the spirited man he used to be.
Dawn nodded in satisfaction. “Looks like you’re adapting pretty well.”
Victor sat upright, expressionless.
“I am.”
Dawn gave an awkward smile, thinking that this was probably normal. After all, after being mistreated by Daniel for so long, it would take time to adjust.
She tapped her fingers lightly and said, “You’ll follow Mason from now on. I’ll have him show

you the ropes. And I’m going to Ithelia next week. You’reing with me.”
Victor nodded. “Alright.”

He looked overly proper and stiff. At first nce, it almost seemed a little amusing. But when it stayed that way, it tugged at the heart a little, like a quiet ache
you
couldn’t shake.
