“Honey.”

Dawn broke into a bright smile. She opened the back car door and slid inside. She leaned down and kissed Dulce on the cheek. “Sweetheart, I missed you.”
Ethan turned from the front seat. Sunlight slipped through his hair and lit up his sharp features.
“What about me?” he asked.
“Nothing.”
No kiss. No missing him either.
The corner of Dawn’s mouth lifted. She pretended not to care and started ying with their daughter.
Ethan pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek. He unbuckled his seat belt, leaned between the seats, wrapped one hand behind her neck, and pulled her forward. Then he nted a firm kiss on her lips.
“You don’t, but I do.”
“Ethan!”
She red at him, but the smile at her lips wouldn’t stay hidden.
Ethan shot her a yful look and turned back, buckling his seat belt again. “Dulce, we are taking you to see Grandpa.”
Grandpa.
The fact that her daughter would call Austin Grandpa made Dawn amused.
She suddenly thought of Sandra and Harry.
Now she was on break; maybe she should take Dulce to Trifton to pay them a visit.
Ethan started the engine. They all failed to notice the figure stepping out from the corner not far away. The darkness had masked her expression.
The restaurant they booked sat halfway up a mountain. The ce was peaceful, and the air was clean. The restaurant grew all the vegetables. Chickens, ducks, and fish were raised behind the hill.
The moment Dulce got out of the car, she was fascinated. She ran off with a staff member to chase butterflies.
Dawn watched her daughter and couldn’t stop smiling.
“By Christmas, Dulce should be able to run, right?”
“Probably.”
Ethan’s gentle gaze stayed fixed on the delicate–looking woman in front <i>of </i>him. “Where do you want to go for vacation<b>? </b>I’ll push all

my work aside and spend time with you two.”
Dawn nced at him. “Are you seriously going to ignore yourpany?”
She never felt this way before.
But after taking over Stonewarden Group, something inside her changed.

She finally understood–once you reach a certain level, your words and actions are no longer just your own. There are always people watching behind you. Responsibility follows you everywhere.
Ethan reached out and took her hand, rubbing her fingers gently in his palm.
“I’ll leave it to Tony and Oliver.”
At that moment, both Tony and Oliver sneezed at the same time. They looked up and stared at each other.
“What was that?”
‘Flu?”
Tony sucked in a breath. “Should I take tomorrow off and get checked?”
Oliver frowned at the file in his hand, then pped it into Tony’s chest. “Instead of going to the hospital, you should pray. I hope Boss wins his wife back soon.”
Tony froze, then <i>nodded </i>seriously.
As long as Ethan came back to work, every sickness would magically disappear.
Meanwhile, their boss was currently following behind his wife like a loyal assistant. He stayed half a step behind her, protecting her while listening to her lecture.
Austin is my uncle. When we meet him, <i>you </i>better be respectable.
‘And right now, we’re not officially back together to the public. Keep some distance from me.”
After talking for a while, she heard nothing behind her.
Dawn stopped and turned around. Ethan was looking at his phone.
She took a deep breath. “Ethan, you didn’t have toe.”
<i>You’re </i>here<i>; </i><i>why </i>ignore me<i>? </i>
Ethan frowned slightly and looked at her. “Dawn, what’s wrong?”
That question made her anger re instantly. She exploded, “What kind of attitude is that?”
He blinked. “What attitude?”
“I’m talking to you, and you’re looking at your phone!”
“No.”

He raised the phone. “I was worried I’d miss out on the details, so I wrote down what you said in my notes. Is that not allowed, Ms.
Porter?”
Dawn froze. She stared at the screen.
It really was the Notes app.
Her expression changed rapidly. She didn’t know what to say.
After a long silence, she turned and walked inside without a word. Her steps got faster and faster.
Ethan stood there for a moment. Light and shadow moved through his hair, making his eyes look even more charming.
They walked through two long hallways and reached the private dining room.
The entire restaurant had been booked today. No other guests were around.
Dawn stood at the door, looking through the window at the man inside.
She couldn’t remember how long it had been since theyst met.
Too long.
And yet, it wasn’t that long.
Austin looked thinner now. His sharp features seemed colder, more serious. Just sitting there, he gave off a feeling that no one should cross him.
Dawn stared for a long time. Her eyes slowly turned red.
She opened her mouth. It took a while before she finally called out to him.
“Uncle Austin.”
The man turned around.
In that moment, it felt like an invisible thread connected their eyes. Even the air seemed to stop moving
In the end, Dawn was the first to lose control. She ran toward the doorway, just like she did when she was a child.
