Aaron waited patiently, his hand still outstretched.
In the darkness, the two men stood at an impasse. Finally, Nate relented and handed over the bag, but not
without saying, “You can’t give her a future.”
The truth of their relationship loomed large. Even though Aaron wasn’t biologically related to the Ace family, and
therefore had no blood ties to Lena, in everyone else's eyes, they were family-close family.
For them to transition from uncle and niece to lovers would invite condemnation, gossip, and endless scrutiny.
The weight of public opinion was crushing. Aaron could choose to ignore it, but what about Lena?
“Mr. Ace, true love means protecting her from harm,” Nate added as Aaron turned to leave. Nate knew his words
were tinged with selfishness-after all, he still had feelings for Lena -but his concern for her was genuine.
Aaron didn’t falter. With Lena’s bag in hand, his steps were firm and confident. His voice was calm but carried an
undeniable edge. “Dr. Neumann, take care of your own affairs. As for everything else... you needn't worry.”
He returned to the car and handed the bag to Lena.
“What did Nate say to you?” Lena asked. She had seen them talking but was too far away to

The fear from the motorcycle’s sudden appearance, combined with the strange, lingering sensation of Aaron's
embrace, felt like tiny ants crawling over her body and heart, exploring every hidden corner.
Aaron didn’t say a word. He knew she was processing her emotions-and he wanted her to.
When the car stopped, neither of them moved to get out, and the silence between them stretched.
Lena's fingers twisted the strap of her bag nervously, a telltale sign of her unease. Aaron

himself.
“Did the motorcycle scare you? Don’t worry-it’s nothing. These days, young people love to show off and provoke
others,” Aaron said casually, giving her an easy way to redirect her thoughts.
As he spoke, he unbuckled both his seatbelt and hers. “Con, let's go. There's a feast inside waiting for its
rightful owner.”
He opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Lena took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment. She even gave herself a discreet pinch on the arm,
muttering internally: Lena, what on earth are you thinking? This is your uncle. He was just protecting you in an
emergency. Stop having improper thoughts—it’s disgusting.
Outside, Aaron saw her little self-chastising gesture and couldn't help but chuckle quietly.
Knock, knock.
