Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

He was very close.

The scent of his body wafted into her nostrils, accelerating her heartbeat inexplicably. Her pale, porcelain face felt unusually warm. She took a step back, gazing at him seriously, “Mr. Farrell, has anyone ever told you that you are very narcissistic?”

Jared Farrell’s thin lips slightly curled up, “No, but I am quite confident about my looks.”

Tina looked up at him. Indeed, he had a very handsome face, with sharply defined features that seemed meticulously crafted. A lofty nose bridge, attractive eyebrows, and thin, sensual lips tempted her to bite them.

He carried an air of aristocracy with every gesture, the essence of nobility.

Tina was so mesmerized that when she snapped back to reality, Jared Farrell suddenly pulled her into his embrace, “Tina, have you fallen for me?”

His voice was like a melodious tune, spellbinding and enthralling.

The proximity was too close, so close that Tina momentarily panicked. The distant lights flickered behind him, while the warm light in the room illuminated his face, revealing a depth of affection and tenderness in his eyes.

“You’re thinking too much,” Tina turned her head away, heart pounding chaotically. She couldn’t calm down and decided to return to her room. Opening her suitcase, she began organizing her clothes as a diversion.

Jared Farrell leaned casually against the frame of the balcony glass door, watching the young girl trying to act composed as she hung clothes in the wardrobe. He couldn’t help but feel she was acting shy.

Suddenly, a pink package fell out of the suitcase due to Tina’s bustling, rolling towards Jared Farrell’s feet.

He picked it up and took a glance. Tina immediately snatched it back, stuffing it hurriedly back into her suitcase.

Jared Farrell chuckled softly, having seen the words “sanitary pad” on the pink package.

“What’s so funny!” Tina felt embarrassed, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.

Jared Farrell coughed lightly with his fist to his mouth masking his laughter, his gaze inadvertently falling on Tina’s lower stomach, “Are you…?”

“It’s just a precaution!” she exclaimed, feeling her explanation sounded as though she was inviting him to do something untoward. Her face flushed deeper, and she stopped organizing altogether. Slamming the suitcase shut, she pushed Jared Farrell out, “Get out, I need to change and take a shower!”

Jared Farrell pondered the phrase ‘just a precaution’ and speculated Tina might stay quite a while. Pretending helplessness, he said, “I also need to shower, but I can only use one hand, it’s really inconvenient…” His expression was pitiful.

Tina, “…”

What was this man trying to do?

Making it seem like she was bullying him if she didn’t help?

“Do you really need help taking a shower?” Tina was somewhat speechless.

“If you’re willing, that would be great,” Jared Farrell smiled innocently, “I’ve been tired all day, and I’m a bit of a cleanliness freak; I can’t sleep without a bath.”

“Okay then,” Tina smirked, pushing him towards his bathroom, “Go prepare, I’ll be there in a moment.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Jared took her words lightly and entered his bathroom, starting to fill the large bathtub with water. Hearing a noise behind him, he turned to see Tina actually followed him in.

“Are you serious?” Now Jared Farrell found himself at a loss.

“Aren’t you going to undress? How else will you shower?” Tina crossed her arms, watching him leisurely.

Jared regained his composure and began unbuttoning his shirt in front of her. His skin was pale, his long fingers well-defined with slightly pink fingertips, he slowly undid each button from top to bottom.

Tina didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but his usually reserved, deep eyes were now tenderly gazing at her, his strong chest muscles gradually revealed with each undone botton, a temptingly decadent charm visible.

The heat on Tina’s cheeks, which had just subsided, flared up again. She diverted her eyes, “Don’t waste time.”

“Are you in a hurry?” Jared Farrell, after removing his shirt and tossing it into a laundry basket, placed his hands on his belt, undoing the metal buckle and pulling down the zipper…

Finally, Tina couldn’t bear it and swiftly pulled the shower curtain closed between them, stating, “Let me know when you’re ready,” before leaving the bathroom.

She sat on Jared Farrell’s bed, pondering. It was supposed to be her teasing him, but why did it feel like she was the one being teased?

“Feeling shy?” Jared’s teasing laughter emerged from the bathroom, “You said you’d help me shower, you can’t go back on your word.”

“Don’t worry, I always keep my word!” Tina’s lips curled into a smile, “Just get ready and wait.”

In the bathroom, Jared Farrell chuckled, shaking his head. Tina was still just a young girl.

He hadn’t taken her seriously; it was all in jest.

However, when he stripped off, protected his swollen right hand with a waterproof bag, preparing to enter the bathtub, he heard Tina outside calling him, “Are you ready?”

He raised an eyebrow, was she really going to help him wash?

“Ready,” he replied.

The next second, the bathroom door was opened from outside, but instead of Tina, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face appeared. Confused, Jared Farrell frowned, “Who are you?”

“I’m Tom Crimson, from Bath and Spa 88, at your service,” the middle-aged man smiled obsequiously, nodding and bowing to Jared Farrell, “I received your order, I’m here to help you with your bath.”

“Get out!” Jared Farrell’s face instantly darkened.

“Ah, sir, don’t worry, I’ve been professional in bathing service for twenty years, my skills are absolutely top-notch. I guarantee you’ll feel refreshed and thoroughly cleansed,” the middle-aged man still bravely stepped forward, zealously selling his bathing skills.

“Tina!” Jared Farrell could no longer endure.

“What?” Tina sat cross-legged on Jared Farrell’s bed, responding at her leisure.

“Get this guy out of here!” Jared roared, and if it weren’t for his naked state, he would’ve personally thrown the man out of his apartment.

Tina, leaning against the wall outside the bathroom, her arms crossed, replied nonchalantly, “Didn’t you say you needed help washing because you couldn’t manage with one hand? This gentleman is my carefully chosen pick. From his service skills to his attitude, everything is five-star. He’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”

Her smile grew more insolent, “You didn’t seriously think I was going to help you, did you?”

“Sir, my hand strength is much greater than that little girl’s,” the middle-aged man continued to placate, “She definitely can’t wash you as well as I can. Don’t be shy, just give it a try, tr-”

He was unable to finish his sentence as Jared Farrell kicked him out of the bathroom, then slammed the bathroom door shut.

The middle-aged man, rubbing his nose, looked at the forcefully closed door, shrugged at Tina, and whispered, “Young master, your fiance sure has a big temper.”

Ah, the life of a subordinate is hard-having to moonlight as a bathhouse worker.

“That’s enough, go back,” Tina softly chuckled, then whispered lowly, “Keep watch over Sean’s villa, tell Jayden to try breaking the basement’s password and iris lock.”

Hacking wasn’t difficult for her.

But right now, she just wanted to enjoy life, leaving the brainwork to others.

“Don’t worry, young master,” the middle-aged man put away his obsequious demeanor, his simple and honest nature turning astute in an instant.
