| hadn't expected Jared to ask that, so I replied, “Nathan was here recently and tookthere.”
Jared turned his head away, sounding annoyed. “Figures. | knew it was him.”
Yvonne's big, dark eyes flickered between us. “Is Uncle Nathan here for work?”
Jared, almost as if talking just to me, said, “Who knows if he’s here for work or for someone.”
| didn’t like his sarcastic tone, so | calmly shot back, “Whatever the reason, meeting a kindred spirit in a foreign
country is a wonderful thing.”
“An opposite-sex confidant? You really call that a true friend?” Jared sneered.
| shot back with a smirk, “Well, that’s nothing compared to you guys and your so-called special female friends.”
Jared went silent in an instant.
“Dad, don’t start fighting with Mom the moment you see her. Did you forget why we're here?” Yvonne shot Jared
a look, raising her brows at him.
Jared gavea long, meaningful look. “Con, let's get sdinner first.”
Jared had arranged for a business van and took Yvonne andto a Mexican restaurant.
But it wasn’t the srestaurant Nathan tookto last time-Jared had already planned for us to chere.
As soon as we sat down, someone brought over a bouquet of red roses and set them right in front of me. And
right after, a violinist started playing nearby. The music was lovely, but the whole setup felt a little strange.
Jared was watchingclosely, clearly waiting to see how I'd react.
Deep down, | knew he’d been waiting for a chance to pick up where we left off.
After the violinist wrapped up, all | could smell was the fresh scent of roses in the air.

“Mom, Dad set all this up just for you. Do you like it? Are you moved?” Yvonne asked, her eyes sparkling.
| fiddled with the bouquet of roses in my arms and replied softly, “Thanks for arranging this. The music was
lovely, and the
flowers are beautiful.”
“And what about me?” Jared asked.
| met his gaze, my eyes serious. “Please, don’t set up these romantic gestures anymore. You're my boss, and this
really putsin a tough spot as your employee.”
Jared's expression froze for a moment, and then his face fell.
Yvonne overheard us and said quietly, “Mom, | was the one who asked Dad to do all this. You've been alone
overseas for so long, and | wanted to give you a little surprise.”

“Yvonne, like | said, your mom’s a practical woman. She doesn’t care for these superficial gestures,” Jared said,
half- mocking himself.
Yvonne pouted, looking crestfallen. “Okay, Mom. | won't make suggestions like this again, | promise.”
Watching the two of them putting on the pity act, | really didn’t know what to do with them.
“Let’s just eat. The food's getting cold,” | said, quickly changing the subject.
The three of us sat down to eat, and surprisingly, things felt pretty relaxed.
Jared was in a good mood. He ordered a bottle of red wine and poureda glass.
| fished out my meds from my bag. “I've got a cold and I'm still on medication, so | can’t drink.”
Jared looked concerned. “Did you get sick from the cold?”
| nodded. “Probably. It's been raining

Yvonne pressed her lips into a pout. “Alright, | was just worried about you, Mom.”
“Really, I'm fine. Once the meds work, I'll be good as new. I'll be heading hin just over a month anyway,” |
reassured her quickly.

Jared had booked a massive suite with four bedrooms.
“Victoria, Yvonne's scared to sleep alone. Can you stay here with her tonight?” Jared said softly.
