Owen snapped out of his thoughts at that moment. He soon smiled kindly at Stephanie.

"Go ahead."

"Do you know the exact reason why Adrian left the country? He… He's not in any sort of danger, right?"

Even though Adrian had already told Stephanie that he'd return to her safe and sound, the latter couldn't help feeling uneasy for some reason. That feeling intensified when Adrian never contacted her after that particular phone call.

Owen shook his head. "I don't know the exact details as well."

The sight of Stephanie's worried visage made him smile. "It seems that you truly care about your marriage partner, Steph."

Stephanie's ears reddened slightly. "Dad… Adrian's helped me out a lot in Hydroton. No matter what, I don't want anything to happen to him."

She had just gotten out of a failed relationship recently, so she wasn't ready to immerse herself in a new relationship just yet.

But that didn't mean she wasn't worried about Adrian at all.

"Yeah. He's a good man. Otherwise, I wo

    Kiara noticed that, besides the message, Tyler also sent Stephanie the address to one of the properties he owned in Jetterpolis.But he'd clearly told Kiara they were going to stay somewhere else. Did this mean he was going to settle her elsewhere before meeting up with Stephanie after?Her fingers trembled against the screen, its light making her face look even paler.Sneering, she threw the phone back at Tyler. "You couldn't even wait, huh, Ty?" Tyler frowned. "Since we're here in Jetterpolis, I should meet Steph and bring her back."She was his woman. How could he let her be apart from him?Just the thought of Andrew possibly setting his sights on her also made Tyler extremely uncomfortable."Take her back, and then what?" Kiara asked mockingly. "Let her witness our happy family of three?""Kiki, don't let Steph find out about your pregnancy."Kiara clutched her abdomen, her eyes reddening. "Are you afraid that once she finds out, she won't ever return to your side?"Alth

    "You know, I'm not completely out of touch with the real world," Adrian said somewhat helplessly.Of course, most importantly, he wanted to spend time with Stephanie. Even if he had to go somewhere he never liked before, he would be happy so long as she was with him."Really?" Stephanie studied him. "It doesn't seem so to me."But then again, she was a wealthy heiress too, so why couldn't he go to the places she frequented?Adrian laughed. "Feel free to go on countless dates with me to see whether I'm telling the truth, Ms. Ford."He wanted to go on many dates with her, much like all the other couples in this world.As the car rounded the last bend of their journey, Stephanie abruptly lowered the window, letting in the cool breeze that carried the scent of sycamore trees.Brushing her hands against the seat belt buckle, she abruptly chuckled. "On our next date, I want you to play the claw machine with me, Mr. Hawke.""Sure," he said, agreeing to it right away."But I'll get up

    "I'm fine." Stephanie nodded with a smile.Adrian's expression eased up a little, but when he turned to look at the two people behind them, his gaze grew sharp and imposing again. It felt as though the air had chilled around them.Intimidated, the two people immediately clammed up and scurried off, too scared to even collect their tickets.Picking up on the hostility that radiated from him, Stephanie tugged on his sleeve and said, "Don't be mad. I'm fine, really."She looked up at him, her eyes crinkling from her smile.Adrian's demeanor relaxed a bit, and he decided to drop it. After all, this probably counted as his first date with Stephanie, so he didn't want to let some unimportant people ruin things for them.When they entered the cinema hall, the lights had already gone off. Adrian walked ahead, carefully guiding Stephanie to their seats, his warm hand lightly clasped around her elbow.Their seats were in the sixth row, with an openly affectionate couple sitting in the sam

    Adrian walked up to the women, smiling at Stephanie before politely greeting Wynette."Good evening, Ms. Sweeney."Although he was doing his best to be nice to Wynette because she was Stephanie's friend, his commanding presence made her scalp tingle anyway."Good evening, Mr. Hawke! So, um, Steph, since Mr. Hawke is here to pick you up, I'll head off first.""Wynette…""Allow us to give you a ride home, Ms. Sweeney," Adrian suggested.The word "us" made Stephanie's heart skip a beat.Wynette quickly waved off that idea, saying, "No need! My family's driver is waiting right around the corner!"She ran off before Adrian or Stephanie could say anything else, not the least bit interested in being the third wheel.Wynette already felt guilty for mishearing Stephanie's fiance's identity and causing Stephanie to get the wrong idea as well. She didn't want to get in the way of them having their alone time.Stephanie couldn't help but chuckle helplessly when she saw Wynette dashing of

    "I saw Stephanie in Jetterpolis!" Dustin answered. "I'm here on business, and I ran into her at a restaurant just now. She was with a gorgeous-looking woman."A woman?Tyler's lips curled a little, his mood lifting."I heard that you two broke up, Tyler. Is that true? She even said I got the wrong person just now," Dustin said."We haven't broken up. Don't listen to those ridiculous rumors."Tyler tossed the orange peel into the trash can before ending the call at once. Then, he held out the pieces of orange to Kiara.However, instead of taking them, she stared at him and said snarkily, "So Ms. Ford has run off to Jetterpolis, huh? How convenient. You'll be able to see her when you go to Jetterpolis in a few days."Then, with a look of realization, she exclaimed, "See? I told you she must've gone to Jetterpolis to meet up with that artist, but you didn't believe me!"Tyler's muscles bulged, and the smell of orange filled the air. He tossed the mangled pieces of orange into the

    The next evening, Wynette came to meet up with Stephanie, insisting on having some lamb stew with her.They arrived at the restaurant and placed their order immediately. As the stew bubbled away on the table, Wynette started salivating."I've been missing this the whole time I've been abroad," she declared as she fished out a giant piece of meat. "I found some places selling it, of course, but theirs never tasted quite right."Stephanie chuckled. "I found a few good lamb stews in Hydroton too."That being said, she only ate it a handful of times. Tyler didn't like lamb stew, and she was always busy with work.Just like Wynette, Stephanie was a huge fan of lamb stew. But when she was in a relationship with Tyler, even something as simple as enjoying her favorite food became a luxury.She quickly brushed these thoughts aside. Now that she was happily enjoying a meal with her good friend, she shouldn't be preoccupied with those unhappy memories."By the way, my dad told me to atten
