Jared gently patted her hair, then turned toand said, “It’s good for you to get sphysical exercise,
Yvonne.”
“Dad?” Yvonne's little face was full of grievance.
But Jared just smiled even more charmingly. | couldn’t be bothered to join in their banter, so | sat down, and
Wendy brought over the special breakfast she had made just for me.
“Mom, what are you eating?” Yvonne immediately leaned over to ask.
“Oatmeal,” | answered calmly.
“I want some, too,” Yvonne said right away.
“Kids shouldn't eat too much of this. There are too many hormones in it. It’s not good for your development,” |
said.
Yvonne puffed up her cheeks and complained, “Then how cyou get to eat it? Dad’s an adult too, so why
doesn’t he get any?”
Jared glanced atwith a smile and said, “I don’t need it. It’s for your mom to keep up her strength.”
Yvonne crossed her arms over her chest, looking super sulky.
This time, | drove Yvonne to school with Jared riding along. They were chatting away in the backseat, and | pretty
much kept quiet the whole time.
When we got to school, Jared got out and walked her up to the school gate. Her homeroom teacher cover to

| glanced at his left hand. Sure enough, his wedding ring had mysteriously disappeared again.
Thinking about it, | started fussing with the diamond ring on my own ring finger right in front of him.
“What's wrong now?” Jared frowned.
| said calmly, “Nothing, I'm just sick of seeing this ring. | don’t feel like wearing it anymore.”
Jared didn’t callvain or anything. He just tried to comfort me, “I'll take you out tonight and get you a new
one you actually like. Is this one too tight for you?”
| didn’t expect Jared to try to comfortlike that, or to want to spend money onagain.
“Never mind, I've got things to do tonight. No tfor shopping,” | said as | drove toward the office.
Jared looked like he’d had way too much to drink last night-he was still nursing a hangover. He pressed his
fingers to his temples, leaned back against the seat, and before long, he was out cold.
At a red light, | stopped the car and turned to look at him.
Jared's profile was truly something else, prominent brow bone, sharp brow line, and slightly hooded eyes that
gave him an air of authority even when he wasn’t angry.

His double-lidded eyes made him look even more intelligent. When he wasn’t looking at you, he seemed almost
peaceful.
| didn’t keep staring at him. There was something dangerously captivating about his looks.
As soon as we got to the office, Jared woke up and said, “Just stop at the entrance. I'll have Warner park the car
in a bit.”

Just as | expected, it was Nathan who stepped out from the back seat.
It had been ages since I'd last seen him, but he was still as handsand refined as ever.
Jared seemed just as surprised as | was, then he explained, “Mr. Hallman’s here for a meeting today.”
| looked at him indifferently and said,

My eyes widened a bit. “There he goes again with his pointless concern. What a weirdo," | thought.
“Thanks,” | said, not even sparing Nathan a glance as | stepped on the gas and sped right past Jared.
