"I'll be moving into my apartment next week," Jasper said without further explanation. He then leaned back in his seat hard. Closing his eyes, he felt exhausted in a way he hadn't felt in a long time.

When Jasper arrived home, he went upstairs to shower before sitting on the couch in the living room downstairs. He didn't return to the study to finish his work, nor did he go upstairs to sleep as usual. The light in the living room remained turned on. Wendy came out of her room several times to check on him and discovered him watching a reality TV show. The laughter track on TV echoed through the large living room, sounding eerie in the quiet night.

Jasper was staring at the TV screen with no expression on his face and didn't even move a muscle for a long time. Wendy brought him coffee several times, but he didn't drink it.

"It's almost two o'clock. Si jendy went to see him for one last time and brought him a cup of hot milk.

He remained motionless and said, "Leave me alone, please. You can go back home now."

Wendy put the milk on the coffee table and then couldn't help but yawn. When she opened the door, a cold wind blew in. She paused in the doorway for a moment before walking back in.

The large living room fell silent, and it was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat. He then gulped down the milk and went upstairs to his room.

On his way out, he put on a heavy coat and grabbed two umbrellas from the umbrella stand. Before getting in the car, he called Isabella one last time, but she had turned off her phone. Without further delay, he drove directly to that apartment.

While Jasper was stepping hard on the gas and driving faster and faster on the road, Sean and Isabella went to a small restaurant near the school.

Isabella sipped some hot tea while they were waiting for their dishes. The restaurant was overheated, which caused her cheeks to burn and her vision to blur. Though feeling uncomfortable, she forced herself to listen to Sean talk about the debate team and occasionally talk to him.

She also mumbled something. Sean didn't have time to ask her what she was saying and rushed out of the restaurant with her in his arms.

As he walked away, Sean didn't notice a young man in the restaurant staring at him. When he led Isabella out of the restaurant, the young man took off his uniform and followed him.

Later, Sean took Isabella into the apartment he had rented near their school. He'd just put her to bed when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that there stood an angry young man in the doorway. The man said nothing before he punched Sean in the face violently.

"What in the hell are you doing?!" Exclaiming, Sean stumbled and grabbed the door frame to keep himself from falling.

"Where's Isabella?" asked the strange man, who grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

"Isabella? What are you talking about?"

"I saw you leaving the restaurant with her. Did you put drugs in her food?"

Sean was speechless because he had done nothing wrong to her. "Excuse me, who are you?" he asked, breaking free from James' grip.

James retained his angry expression. He followed Sean into the room and found Isabella asleep on the bed. Her forehead was covered with a towel, her cheeks were flushed, and she mumbled something. Trying to hear what she was saying, James moved close to her. After making out what she was mumbling, he stood up and asked Sean with a frown, "Your name is Jasper?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sean asked.

James remained silent. He returned his gaze to Isabella and said, "Sorry, I didn't know you were her boyfriend. Bye."

Clenching his fists, James walked toward the apartment's front door. 'Someone knocked again before he could reach the door. He stopped and turned to face Sean, who was also confused. Sean sensed something was wrong and hesitated before opening the door. He was shocked when he saw Jasper standing at the door.

"Jasper?!"

"Is Isabella here?" Jasper asked indifferently as he stood in the doorway.

Sean was good at socializing, so he rarely had problems communicating with others.

She's not feeling well and had a fever," Sean took a step back, made room for him, and said.

Suddenly, James remembered something and said, "Oh! So she was saying his name!"

Sean frowned, not quite sure what he was saying.

"That man is Isabella's adoptive father, Jasper," James said, pointing to the bedroom.

"adoptive father?" Sean looked into the bedroom and saw Jasper leave with Isabella in his arms.

Without saying anything to them, Jasper wrapped his coat around her and walked out of the apartment building. Just when James was about to leave as well, Sean stopped James and asked, "He's her adoptive father? I thought he was her uncle."
