"Just stay here in Nyston for now. Once I''ve sorted everything out on my end, I''ll move here to be with you. We can be just like we used to be."


    Hannah reached out and squeezed her hand, her gaze sincere.


    "Okay, I''ll wait for you."


    Samuel, listening to the two sisters talk, couldn''t resist chiming in. "I didn''t expect Lionel to go back so soon either. If he knew you were on vacation today, he would have been here to harass you and ruin your ns, one hundred percent."


    Tess nodded inplete agreement.


    "You''re not wrong. But I''m curious about one thing. Why did he suddenly go back? Did something happen with the Rosenberg family?" Tess asked, intrigued.


    He shook his head. "I was curious too, so I had someone look into it. But the Rosenberg family seems to be operating normally. Nothing major has happened, no important meetings are scheduled. I even had someone tail him, and he went straight to his mother''s house after he got back."


    Hearing this, Hannah suddenly remembered what Samuel had told her about his meeting with Lionel at the cafe.


    She said, "Do you think he actually believes Quennel kidnapped Sandra? Maybe he went back to confront Quennel and find her."


    Samuel frowned. "If he really went back just to prove Quennel kidnapped someone... no, abducted her... that''s actually possible. If he can produce evidence that Quennel did it, he cane to you and badmouth him, trying to get you to stay away from him."


    "After all, he''s always hated you being with Quennel. That''s probably the reason."


    After hearing Samuel''s analysis, Tess shook her head.


    "I don''t think it''s about you. It''s probably just about Sandra. They''ve been together for so many years. Now that he finally has a tead on her whereabouts, of course he''s going to rush to find her."


    "Think about it. He could have gone back at any time, but he leaves the moment he gets news of her. It must be because he still loves her


    and is desperate to find her It''s not


    about trying to impress yisher


    by


    catching the supposed culprit. I don''t think he''s changed at all."


    Both Hannah and Samuel found Tess''s analysis more convincing. Hannah considered it for a moment, then said, "Whatever the reason he went back the point is he''s gone. That''s a good thing for us. We can do whatever we want without


    anyone trying to ruin


    His presence


    these past few days has seriously disrupted my work and my life. I''m just d he''s gone."


    Tess nodded. "Exactly. So let''s not think about him anymore. Let''s just enjoy ourselves." They discussed their ns and decided to go hiking.


    They pushed all thoughts of Lionel out of their minds, focusing on nothing else.


    The three of them had a wonderful time for several days,pletely forgetting about work and life, with nothing on their minds but food, drinks, and fun.


    A few dayster, Hannah and Samuel set off on their return journey.


    When theynded at Sova airport and walked out of the terminal, they saw a familiar car parked in front of them.
