Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The next day, Jared had his men forcibly send Elizabeth’s family back to the countryside. Initially, they resisted leaving, but Jared’s men were rough, and Pinewood ended up with a broken leg. Only then did the family comply. Before they left, Hugo gave the old lady ten thousand dollars and informed her that she would receive a monthly living allowance of two thousand dollars, no more. Some might say Hugo was being overly kind, but he saw it as his duty. If he weren’t Elizabeth’s biological son, he could have ignored them, but after multiple paternity tests confirmed his relation, he felt obligated to support them legally. Jennie supported him in this; some ties can be severed, but not blood relations.

“Mr. Farrell, I’ve stationed people to ensure they won’t have the chance to bother Mr. and Mrs. Reed again,” Nathan Lehman reported to Jared while Tina listened from the back seat of the black car. Her expression was indifferent, her face showing no emotion. She didn’t care about Elizabeth’s fate.

After hearing Nathan Lehman’s report, Jared played with Tina’s fingers and asked nonchalantly, “Tina, they sent people to try to get your DNA sample.”

“Yes,” Tina replied with a mocking smile. Since Amber was hospitalized, people had been trying to collect her hair or other samples, likely sent by Jasper Reed for her DNA. But she didn’t let them succeed.

“Do you want to return to the Reed family?” Jared interlaced his fingers with hers and tightened his grip slowly.

Tina leaned back in her seat and looked out at the gloomy sky without answering. The Reed family! She had to go back! Since Amber couldn’t find anything out, she would have to return to Ashbury Reed family herself to uncover the danger that made her mother flee while pregnant and marry Hugo under an alias.

Just then, a car ahead had a tire blowout and swerved into their lane. With a screech of brakes, Jared and Tina lurched forward and quickly grabbed onto the front seats for stability. Jared pulled Tina close and shielded her forehead with his hand. Once the car steadied, he checked her over and then frowned at Nathan Lehman. “What happened?”

“Mr. Farrell, I’ll go check,” Nathan Lehman said as he got out of the car.

Nathan Lehman found that the other driver was Damian. Damian hadn’t expected it to be Jared’s car and was momentarily stunned before apologizing to Nathan Lehman. “Sorry, it was my fault. I wasn’t paying attention. Let me know how much it costs; I’ll compensate you.”

Seeing Damian’s good attitude, Nathan Lehman didn’t say anything harsh. He just glanced back at their car and said, “No need; our young master can afford this.”

Damian didn’t argue further; neither he nor Jared were short on money. Too much politeness would seem insincere. He decided to owe this favor for now and find an opportunity to repay it later.

After Jared’s men brought another car for Jared and Tina, Nathan Lehman got into the damaged Lincoln.

Meanwhile, Damian returned to his car where a stylishly dressed woman in her fifties asked from the back seat, “How did it go?”

Her name was Willow, a renowned pianist and Lily Ward’s mother. Willow had a piano concert at Ensford Grand Theater in two days. Lily Ward had been invited by the Reed family to treat Emrys’ injuries and was staying at Whispering Pines with them. Since Willow wanted more time with her daughter and the families were close, the Reeds invited Willow to stay at Whispering Pines as well and sent Damian to pick up Lily Ward from the airport.

“It’s fine; it was an acquaintance,” Damian replied coolly. “We just happened to hit Mr. Farrell’s car.”

Lily Ward quickly lowered the window and saw Jared carefully helping a young girl into another black car’s back seat with great care.

She instinctively wanted to call out to him but stopped when she saw he didn’t even glance in their direction before getting into the car with the girl and driving away.

“What’s wrong?” Willow asked, noticing Lily Ward’s dazed expression.

“Nothing,” Lily Ward shook her head.

At Jade Gardens.

Today Elsa was coming home.

Tina had been in Ensford for some time but hadn’t met Elsa yet. Elsa had been invited to Tina and Jared’s engagement party but missed it because she was delayed saving Annabelle. By the time she arrived at the party, Elsa had already left due to important matters.

When Tina and Jared returned home, Elsa had already arrived with a man in a suit.

Elsa and the man were playing with Zackary in the yard.

“Tina and her boyfriend!” Zackary shouted excitedly when he saw them return.

“I’m also her boyfriend,” the man joked jealously.

“Then doesn’t Tina have two boyfriends?” Zackary asked confusedly.

“I came first,” the man laughed as he ruffled Zackary’s hair.

“You must be Tina,” Elsa stood up with a smile that reached her eyes. “My mom sent me several candid photos of you; I praised your beauty then and now see you’re even more beautiful in person-or maybe my mom just has poor photography skills.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You are very beautiful too,” Tina nodded.

Elsa resembled Jennie closely; her gentle demeanor made Tina feel an instant connection with her.

“This is my boyfriend Heath Garrison,” Elsa introduced the man beside her.

“Nice to meet you,” Tina nodded at Heath Garrison before introducing Jared. “This is my fiance Jared.”

“You two make a great couple,” Elsa nodded at Jared as well.

“Tina and Jared are back?” Hugo called from inside the villa with a cheerful smile. “Come in; dinner is ready.”

Knowing Elsa was coming home today, Jennie had gone shopping early in the morning and spent all afternoon preparing a feast for everyone.

“Alright, Dad,” Elsa responded smoothly.
