| paused, turning to him with a huff. “Did | ever say I'd marry you?”

“Everything else, | can go by your word.” Gregory's lips curled into a slight smirk, “But this, this is where | call

the shots.”

| rolled my eyes at him. “What, you're going to tieup if | don't agree?”

While saying that, | headed downstairs. Seeing Gregory followto the car, | asked, puzzled, “Where's your

car?”

“The driver took off.” Gregory pulled open the passenger door, his long legs slipping into the car before mine. He

settled in with such ease, even quicker than I did.

Today was unusual. Gregory didn’t fall asleep the moment | got into the car. As | started the engine, he asked,

“Did you find out anything from your aunt?”

“Yeah, a bit.” Mentioning my aunt dampened my spirits slightly. As | drove, | shared, “I was indeed kidnapped

back then, but | managed to escape into my dad's car, and he saved me.”

“They mentioned something about ‘Susan’ while searching for me.” As | spoke, | waited for his thoughts. “Do you

think... the person who kidnappedcould

be... Susan?”

“It’s highly probable.” Gregory frowned slightly, “But she was nice to you before the kidnapping. So, | never

suspected her all these years.”

“Right.” I pursed my lips. “No wonder | felt somewhat familiar when | saw her before.”

After all, when | was little, she was kind to me, someone | once called Mom.

Gregory seemed thoughtful, then asked, “Any other leads?”

“There are.” Just as | was about to continue, he instructed near a traffic light,

“Turn left here.”

“Huh? Where are we going?” | was confused for a moment. That wasn’t the way to the hotel, but | followed his

direction and signaled to turn.

Gregory's voice was relaxed and pleasing. “I'm taking you somewhere special.

Following his makeshift navigation, | slowly drove into a vintage townhouse neighborhood in the heart of Vista

Town

Stepping out of the car, | was puzzled, but Gregory opened the trunk and hauled out my luggage.

I looked at him, confused.

“No hotel this time.” After saying it, he pushed the luggage cart ahead, striding forward confidently.

Standing several steps ahead, he glanced back at me, seeing | hadn't followed. “What, you've already cooked up

s aboutbeing a brute?”

| rolled my eyes. “Who's imagining that?”

He smiled. “Only the imaginer knows.*

His provocation worked. | quickly followed, “I know you're not that kind of person, Gregory. I've always trusted

you.”

Gregory laughed. “Is that so?”

“Yeah.” | wasn't sure if | was praising him or trying to calm myself, but my response was firm.

It was a charming duplex in a serene setting.

As Gregory unlocked the door, | was amazed by the entryway adorned with a collection of Doraemon figures, my

lips curving into a smile. “You're into this, 100?”
