The moment the words left her mouth, Leo laughed.

He folded his arms and leaned casually against the refrigerator, looking effortlessly relaxed.

“So that’s what this is about. You’re afraid of eating my cooking, aren’t you?” he teased. “Worried I’m terrible at it? That you won’t be able to stomach it?”

He raised a brow.

“Relax. I don’t get many chances to show it, but I can cook.”

And not just a little.

There were several dishes he was especially good at.

That was something he had learned

    Leo frowned, but he had already guessed why Nina was asking.“Caleb’s scared of me, isn’t he?”Yesterday, the kid had barely looked at him. Whenever he spoke, it was always to Nina or Alan.Was he really that intimidating?Leo didn’t think he looked particularly frightening.And if anything, he was the one who had a reason to be annoyed.His brows remained drawn together. He wasn’t exactly angry, but he clearly wasn’t thrilled either.“He doesn’t need to be scared of me. I was perfectly nice to him yesterday.”Nina had expected him to be offended, or at least embarrassed.After all, Leo Taylor was the kind of man most people went out of their way to please. Being personally asked not to come back was probably a first.That was why she had been so careful with her wording.What she hadn’t expected was for him to look almost aggrieved and a little helpless.Still, Nina couldn’t exactly blame Caleb.“You do come across as pretty serious,” she said carefully. “He’s just a kid.

    The chickens were still settled quietly in the yard, and for once, Leo found them almost endearing.A farm dog was dozing by the doorway, looking perfectly harmless.Even the faint sounds coming from the pigpen in the distance somehow made the place feel warm and lived-in.Overnight, everything seemed completely different.Leo wandered slowly around the yard, looking more relaxed than usual.Then a voice came from behind him.“Mr. Taylor?”Leo turned around.It was Daniel.He gave him a nod.Daniel was visibly surprised to find Leo outside this early.He still remembered Leo’s expression the day they arrived. One look at the chickens, dogs, and general surroundings had been enough to make him frown as though he wanted to turn around and leave immediately.Yet here he was now, casually strolling around the yard before sunrise.“Mr. Taylor, you’re up early today,” Daniel said. “It’s barely light out.”Leo felt inexplicably awkward.He hadn’t expected anyone to catch him wa

    Nina spoke slowly, her voice calm.“Yvonne is James’s adopted sister. The Gibsons took her in when she was young, but in reality, she and James have been lovers for years.“They’ve been living together, sleeping together, and they even have a child.”She paused briefly.“And I’m in the middle of divorcing James.”Nina explained the complicated situation matter-of-factly, her thoughts still caught up in everything that had happened over the years.She didn’t notice the sudden change in Leo’s expression.In truth, Leo barely registered the rest of the Gibson family drama.He couldn’t care less about other people’s messy relationships.Only one thing had caught his attention.Divorce.Nina was divorcing James.For a moment, Leo felt as though everything around him had gone still.A rush of heat shot through him.His heartbeat suddenly picked up, and his eyes locked onto Nina with startling intensity.He even found himself holding his breath, almost afraid he had heard her w

    “I’m worried about you,” Nina repeated. “There’s already been so much going on, one thing after another. You’ve done more than enough for me already. I’m worried all of this is going to cause problems for you.”Only then did the tension inside Leo finally ease.The heaviness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a faint warmth.He reached out and gently brushed a hand over her hair.“Yvonne Gibson isn’t enough to cause me any real trouble.”His usual calm confidence had returned.“You don’t need to worry about me.”But Nina was still frowning.“She has Gibson Corporation behind her. And James.“The Gibsons have deep roots in Burgola City, and James has always been fiercely protective of his own people. If this puts you at odds with him, it could create a lot of unnecessary trouble later.”Leo gave a quiet laugh.“So what?”His tone was almost casual.“I’ve never considered Gibson Corporation much of a threat.”Then something seemed to occur to him, and his brows drew toget

    Back at the community leader’s house, Leo was carefully changing the dressing on Nina’s wounds.He held a sterile cotton swab between his fingers, cleaning each scrape and applying ointment with painstaking care.His touch was so light that it was almost cautious.He clearly didn’t want to hurt her any more than she already had been.The room was quiet, filled only with the faint scent of the ointment and the soft sound of their breathing.Then Leo’s phone rang from the bedside table.He glanced at the screen, picked it up, and stood.“Give me a minute. I need to take this.”Nina nodded.“Okay.”Leo returned a short while later.Nina looked up at him and immediately noticed that his expression had turned colder.Thinking back to the few words she had overheard, she asked, “Is there an update on what happened to Alan and me?”Leo walked over to her.He didn’t try to hide anything.“Yeah. We found her.“She was on her way back to Burgola City. I had people stop her.”The

    A crushing sense of dread closed in around Yvonne.The memory of what she had done to Nina and Alan suddenly overlapped with the scene in front of her, and terror seized her.“No... no!”Her entire body began to shake.She kicked and struggled wildly against the men holding her.“Let me go! Don’t take me in there! I’m not going into that cave!”The darkness, the isolation, the thought of being trapped inside that abandoned place all over again was enough to send her into a panic.Whatever pride and composure she had left disappeared.She looked up at the expressionless men and suddenly softened her voice, forcing herself to sound sweet and pleading.“Please. Just let me go.”Her eyes filled with tears.“I’m pretty. I can keep you company. Whatever you want, I’ll do it.“Just don’t leave me in there, okay?”She was desperate enough to use anything she thought might save her.But the men in black didn’t react at all.Their expressions remained cold and unreadable.Her tea
