Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Silas Blackwood was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered that he had said earlier that if she helped him, they would be even. Helping him didn’t mean curing him!

Tina’s hands were in her pockets, and her smile vanished as she looked at him with a steely gaze. “You should be grateful that I owe you a favor; otherwise, you wouldn’t have died so easily.”

With that, she turned and walked towards the door. Behind her, Silas Blackwood’s eyes widened in rage. He tried to shout but found he couldn’t make a sound. He struggled to move but collapsed heavily to the ground, helplessly watching Tina leave.

Outside the cabin.

As Tina stepped out, Jayden emerged from the darkness. She coldly instructed, “Lock the door.”

“Yes,” Jayden responded.

As they left the farm, Tina glanced up at the night sky. The stars were like scattered diamonds across the heavens, and the Milky Way stretched like a ribbon. Such beauty was impossible to see in the light-polluted big cities.

“Still love stargazing?”

Under the shadow of a tree outside the farm, a black Lincoln was parked. Jared Farrell leaned against the car, almost hidden in the shadows, but his eyes shone brighter than the stars as he looked at Tina.

“Still love following me?” Tina tilted her head and smiled at him.

Jared Farrell walked over and took her hand, standing beside her as they gazed at the stars. He pointed to five stars forming an M shape above the North Star and asked, “Remember?”

“Cassiopeia. Uncle Wolf, you taught me,” Tina replied, looking at the stars. “The princess became truly perfect only after losing her beauty. Quite ironic.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Tina,” Jared Farrell squeezed her hand, “I can’t say I’m a perfect man, but I will be your perfect lover.”

Tina was taken aback. Weren’t they talking about stars? How did he suddenly start confessing?

Jared Farrell didn’t wait for her response. He naturally and affectionately led her towards the Lincoln, opening the back door for her to sit inside.

“Miss Reed,” Nathan Lehman greeted Tina from the driver’s seat, looking tired.

After a long day and a night of trouble caused by Hayden Cohen and his group, Nathan was exhausted. He had just fallen asleep when Mr. Farrell woke him up to follow his fiancee. He only dared to complain in his mind. Once Jared Farrell got in the car, Nathan immediately put on a spirited demeanor. “Mr. Farrell.”

“To Pinkwater Alley,” Jared Farrell ordered.

As the car started, Tina felt drowsy with Jared Farrell beside her. She relaxed and leaned back in her seat, soon falling asleep.

As she slept, her head tilted and landed on Jared Farrell’s shoulder.

Jared Farrell looked down at her peaceful face and smiled slightly. He kissed her on the top of her head and held her closer to make her more comfortable.

When they arrived at Pinkwater Alley, Tina was still asleep. Jared Farrell carefully carried her upstairs without waking her.

In the elevator, seeing her so docile and trusting, his heart softened. He knew it meant she trusted him completely.

Using the password Tina had given him, he entered her home silently and carried her to her room, placing her gently on the bed.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided not to change her clothes. Instead, he adjusted the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature and covered her with a blanket.

As he straightened up and turned around, he saw Tina’s father standing at the door, looking shocked.

Jared Farrell froze, worried that Hugo might wake Tina with his words. He quickly stepped out and closed the door behind him.

“You… you sneaked into Tina’s room in the middle of the night?!” Hugo pointed at him, his finger trembling.

Jennie, who had also gotten up to use the bathroom, heard this and was stunned in the hallway.

“Explain!” Hugo demanded angrily. “What… what stage have you and my Tina reached?”

“The stage where we can get married,” Jared Farrell replied vaguely.

Hugo immediately misunderstood, his eyes widening in shock and anger.

“Don’t stand here; let’s talk in the living room,” Jennie urged softly, worried they might wake Tina and Zackary. She gave Jared Farrell a look as well.

Jared Farrell’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he obediently followed Hugo and Jennie to the living room.

Once seated in the living room, Hugo and Jennie looked very serious. Jennie asked Jared Farrell, “Since you’ve done what you shouldn’t have with Tina, what are your plans?”

“I plan to marry her after she turns twenty,” Jared Farrell replied with a smile. “Rest assured, I will give Tina the grandest wedding.”

Hearing this, Hugo’s expression softened slightly but still looked at Jared Farrell as if he were a beast. “Tina is still so young; how could you…”

How could you lay your hands on my little girl!

“It was irresistible,” Jared Farrell said solemnly.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, it’s good. There’s only half a year left until Tina’s twentieth birthday,” Jennie sighed awkwardly. “But Tina is still young; after you get married, don’t rush into having children. Take precautions.”

“Of course,” Jared Farrell agreed readily.

Tina had no idea that while she slept peacefully beside Jared Farrell without any guard up, he had conspired with her father and stepmother to set their wedding date and plan their marriage.

The next day.

Tina was woken up by Jayden’s call. He said concisely, “Silas Blackwood died this morning.”

“Make sure to clean up,” Tina replied calmly before hanging up.

Seeing she was still in yesterday’s black clothes, she freshened up and changed into new clothes.

Just then, Jennie knocked on her door. “Tina, are you up? Breakfast is ready.”

“I’m up,” Tina answered and opened the door to meet Jennie’s complex gaze.

Jennie scrutinized her carefully with a mix of relief and regret before sighing softly and heading to the dining room.

Tina was puzzled.

At the dining room table, Jared Farrell was already there helping set up. He smiled at her as she approached.

Hugo also looked at Tina with a complicated expression-part disappointment, part reluctance, part sadness, and part relief. “Sit down; you’re grown up now.”

Tina was confused.

She felt like she had missed something important. When she looked questioningly at Jared Farrell, he just smiled warmly as he served her porridge without saying anything.

Tina ate her porridge in bewilderment, feeling that Jared Farrell’s smile was full of triumphant satisfaction.
