Chapter 650 I’ll Go With You
s
Dawn couldn’t quite put her finger on it–just a hollow unease, like standing on ground that might give way at any moment.
When she didn’t answer right away, Anna tugged her down onto the chair beside her and smiled faintly. <i>“</i><i>You </i><i>know</i>, Dawn, I’ve finally figured something out these past few days. Maybe everyone really does have a path they’re meant to walk. The people we meet, the things we go through–it’s all written somewhere already.”
So, there was no dodging it, no erasing it.
All she could do was lower her head and walk straight into the wall.
Even if it meant blood and broken bones, maybe that pain was simply her due.
A breeze swept through, lifting the loose strands at Anna’s temple. Dawn studied her profile–still beautiful, but thinner than before, a kind of pallor seeping out from deep within.
Like someone who was utterly exhausted, yet forcing herself to live as if everything were normal.
Going back to Trifton…
t wasn’t impossible.
But even if Anna’s family looked harmonious on the surface, her father had never been a good husband.
Years ago, Hubert Winsor had kept another woman on the side. Anna’s mother, gentle by nature, could do nothing but cry day after day. Back then, it had been Anna who stepped in to resolve it.
fears had passed, and though Hubert <i>now </i>looked like he was ying it straight, he’d never truly cut ties with that woman.
f Anna went back this time, she’d have to <i>face </i>all of that again.
Could she really keep her emotions <i>in </i>check?
Dawn pressed her lips together, thought for a moment, then said, “How about this–you give me two days. Let me wrap things up nere, and I’ll go back with you.”
<b>“</b>What? No.” Anna frowned. “I’m already disrupting your work enough as it is. If youe back with me, too, what about your home?”
“What are you talking about?”
Dawnughed. “Did you forget? I grew up in Trifton, too.”
Anna looked <b>at </b>her, silent.
“Really. I was nning to go back anyway<b>.</b>”
<b>Seeing </b><b>the </b>disbelief on Anna’s face, Dawn rubbed her brow helplessly. “You know my adoptive parents still haven’t met Dules, <b>right</b><b>? </b><b>Taking </b>her back <b>to </b>visit family–that makes perfect sense.”
<b>The </b><b>suspicion </b>in <b>Anna’s </b><b>eyes </b><b>finally </b>faded<b>. </b>She <b>nodded </b><b>“</b><b>That </b>actually <b>does </b>make a little sense.”

Dawn said nothing to that, but she thought, <i>Not </i><i>just </i><i>a </i><i>little</i><i>–</i>it made <i>total </i><i>sense</i>.

“So, you spend these two days resting and getting ready. I’ll handle work. Once everything that needs doing is done, we’ll head back to Trifton together.”
Dawn hadn’t been to the office muchtely. Most projects were being overseen by Daniel and Mason, but she was still the decision- maker–she couldn’t just vanishpletely.
Traveling meant preparation.
Anna stayed home each day with the child. That gave Dawn time to work, and at night she sorted through clothes for herself and Dulce.
“Honey, how long are you nning to stay in Trifton?”
“Not sure. Maybe three days. Maybe a month.”
“Then, I’ming with you.”
“No.”
Ethan went silent.
Dawn pulled a hanger from the closet and tossed it onto the bed. Ethan, who was behind her, followed step for step.
When she said no, he finally stopped.
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
After a moment, he kept talking <i>anyway</i>. “Why <i>not</i>? I can arrange things at thepany. I can work remotely. There are plenty of people there–they’re not freeloaders.”
“And how long has it been since you actually went back to the office?” Dawn shot him a look, separating Dulce’s clothes into a pile. “You’re in charge now, not some frencer who can disappear whenever he feels like it. You can’t keep coasting in and out–it something goes wrong<b>, </b>the buck stops with you.”
She knew Ethan hadn’t shown up at the office muchtely, but every night he was still workingte in the study.
And he was still in Northville–close enough that nothing major would slip.
Trifton was different.
Too far. Help from afar won’t put out a fire right in front of you.
Everyone was watching their family situation. What if someone tried to stir up trouble while they were gone?
Ethan stood there watching her bustle around, wanting to help but not knowing how
Under the warm light, his tall frame looked solid and strong His sharp features, paired with that unusually earnest expression, made him look–ridiculously both well behaved and alluring
<i>Well</i><i>–</i><i>behaved</i><i>? </i><i>Ethan</i><i>? </i>
The thought made Dawn smile before she could stop herself.

She set the clothes down and turned to him. “You really want toe with us that badly?”
“Of course.” Ethan smiled softly, his gaze alone enough to drown her.

He stepped closer, wrapped an arm around her waist, his low, pleasant voice thick with temptation. “Honey, haven’t I behaved well enough these past few days?”
Dawn stared at him. “I guess… you’ve been okay.”
“And what if Dulce misses me? What about you? What if you miss me?”
He leaned in, eyes bright.
“I’ll go,” he continued smoothly. “If anything unexpected happens, I can help.”
Dawn was almost convinced.
She promptly shook her head, realizing she’d almost fallen right into his trap.
<i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>he’s </i><i>good</i>.
<i>Real </i><i>good</i><i>. </i>
This man had clearly mastered the seduction game. He could pull tricks out of his hat anytime he wanted.
