Tina nodded, "A week from now, right? Okay, tell Juliet I'll definitely be there." It was an opportunity to make
money, of course she would go!
On the way back, Tina sent Griffin's address to Jayden. "Check his attending doctor and the medical condition."
Jayden quickly responded, and Tina just turned off her phone. The events of the day had really dampened her
spirits. It was the first day that started with strawberry cake, and it wasn't so wonderful.
Tina leaned her head against the car seat, turning to look at Jared. Under the dim light, Jared's face was half-
illuminated, half-shrouded in darkness.
A halo cast its light on the tip of his nose, spreading along his delicate lips, as if draping his face with a thin veil
shimmering with gold.

As the car signaled left, a beam of light flashed from Jared's side, revealing his godly profile, stunningly
captivating.
Tina leaned over, her hand gently tracing his finely chiseled jawline.
Jared tilted his head, trapping Tina's fingers on his shoulder before quickly letting go.
"Stop it, I'm driving."
Tina laughed, her fingers mischievously reaching for Jared's ear, "Uncle, I've missed you so much."
Jared slammed on the brakes and pulled over, taking several deep breaths before restarting the car.
This girl was becoming increasingly restless.
At this rate, his master would rise from his grave in desperation.
"Tina, stop it," Jared said, avoiding looking at her face, focusing solely on driving.
Seeing this, Tina stopped teasing, withdrawing her hand and quietly watching Jared.
Somehow, only when looking at Jared could Tina calm her heart completely.
Only by Jared's side did she truly feel alive.
Unaware, Tina closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Jared parked the car beneath the Reed family's building. Seeing Tina asleep, he didn't rush to wake her.
He watched her in silence, just as she had done, feeling as if all the world's beauty was encapsulated in this
moment.
His fingers gently caressed Tina's cheek, playfully pinching her puffed-up face from deep sleep.
"Tired, aren't you, Tina?" Jared murmured softly, so quietly only he could hear.
After a while, he covered her with his jacket, got out of the car, and carefully carried her from the passenger
seat, protecting her head as he brought her home. Jared laid Tina on the bed and was about to leave when the
sleeping figure tightly grasped his wrist.
"Uncle, stay with me."

Jared's heart melted, softening into a pool of spring water, thawing the icy peaks.
He sat by the bed, closed her eyes with his hand, and whispered, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
Tina fell asleep again, and Jared lay down, pulling the petite Tina into his arms.
He softly sang a lullaby near her ear.
This was what Natalie had taught him.
Back when Tina was just three, Natalie had left her with Jared, warning, "Don't think of callingmaster until
you've lulled my daughter to sleep." Young Tina wasn't as calm as she was now, quite troublesome, nearly
impossible to settle.
He kept singing lullabies until Tina fell asleep.
At that time, Jared was only about twelve or thirteen. Later, he realized that Natalie was training his patience.
To enter the X Bureau, patience was essential.
Stasks couldn't be rushed, senemies had to be infiltrated slowly.
Jared held Tina a little tighter, looking out the window at the moonlight filtering through.
Master, where are you really?
