Maxim Ford heard her voice and smiled faintly, "Is your health better? Have you been eating well lately?"
His voice was like clear tea, with a sweetness that ca after savoring, and a touch of indulgence.
Tiana Thorne curved her lips, a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "I’m doing very well. I’ve dealt with Ella Rivers, so I’m eating and sleeping well. Brother, you don’t need to worry about ."
"Silly girl." He chuckled softly, unable to help but think of Julian Ford, who was stirring things behind the scenes.
Tiana also gave a sweet smile, her heart feeling warm. No matter how many faces she had, she could only be her true self in front of her brother.
She enjoyed this mont of warmth, but: "Brother, did you call just for this, or is there sothing else?"
"Do you still rember I ntioned your second brother wants to et you?" Maxim Ford asked, also testing if she sensed that her second brother was right by her side.
Hearing this, Tiana’s heart raced, an unintentional blush coloring her cheeks, her breathing becoming subtly different.
Second brother...
Her second brother.
Tiana felt like the air she was exhaling was sweet and pink. After a while, she said, "Hmm, has second brother returned?"
Maxim pressed his lips together; it seed this girl hadn’t yet sensed that Julian was her second brother.
"Yes, your second brother is back."
Oh my God!
Tiana could almost hear the frantic rhythm of her pounding heart, as if it were screaming, venting her excitent.
Unable to resist, she asked repeatedly, "Really? Really? What’s second brother’s na? Is he in Azurea too?"
Maxim deeply felt her heart full of anticipation and couldn’t help but laugh.
If she knew her second brother was Julian Ford, with her personality, would she tear him apart?
Just thinking of it, Maxim felt a bit worried and coughed lightly, "He’s in Azurea. He’s eting you tomorrow night at Xiang Pavilion."
May Sloane was montarily stunned, the timing conflicted...
However, Tiana readily agreed, "Okay, tomorrow night."
eting her second brother was the priority. Of course, she wouldn’t miss it.
As for Arthur Donovan, that insidious man, he definitely wouldn’t miss it either.
In her thoughts, she asked again, "Brother, can it be a little later tomorrow? I have sothing to handle, it might be after nine when I can arrive."
Maxim thought it was probably important, so he didn’t ask and replied softly, "Okay, even if you can only make it at two in the morning, we’ll wait."
Tiana felt bubbles rising in her heart, her nose suddenly tingling, the company of family was truly wonderful.
Suddenly, a little flutter stirred within her: "Brother, will second brother like ?"
"You’re our dear sister; how could he not like you?"
Tiana’s mood only wavered briefly before she smiled, a hint of playfulness in her eyes, charmingly asking, "Brother, I’ve realized sothing～"
"Hmm?"
"Your mouth seems coated with honey, honestly, do you often sweet-talk little girls?"
May, who was still imrsed in the pain of uncovering her sister’s death’s truth, was montarily taken aback by her cheeky question.
It seed Tiana really didn’t understand her brother.
"Alright, I must go to a eting. Let’s catch up tomorrow night."
Tiana sensed her brother seed to intentionally avoid this topic and wisely didn’t pursue it further.
Obediently, she nodded, "See you tomorrow, Brother～"
"Hmm."
After the call ended, Tiana looked over at May Sloane and asked, "What was with your expression just now? Do you know sothing about my brother?"
Though May’s mood wasn’t high, she nodded, "Hmm, your big brother is actually quite a romantic figure, renowned in Varden."
Romantic figure...
To Tiana, it sounded like her brother had quite the story.
But why had she never heard him ntion a sister-in-law?
May looked at her with a bit of confusion, "Tiana, can’t you foresee a person’s past? How co you don’t know?"
"I..."
Tiana moved her lips, a bit despondent, "I can’t predict anything about my family."
Cannot foresee herself.
May was montarily stunned, "Oh, so that’s how it is."
At this mont, Finn Pierce returned. He was unaware of the matter about Lily Sloane and noticed May’s reddened eyes.
He looked towards Tiana, "Tiana, what happened? Did sothing occur?"
"Did you buy everything I need?"
Finn nodded, "Bought it all."
He took out an elegant and noble pocket watch from his pocket, with a thin chain made of pure gold.
The surface was smooth, the edges inlaid with diamonds, luxurious and elegant, yet not overly flamboyant.
May glanced at it and cursed, "Such an expensive gift, it must have cost over a hundred thousand, still too good for that beast."
Finn: "..."
May’s hostility was intense.
This wasn’t like her usual self.
Tiana patted her shoulder gently, a smile spreading across her lips, but a cold, bloodthirsty glimr flashed in her eyes, "Don’t worry, he will repay it doubly."
Not only for what he owes her but for what he owes Lily Sloane too.
May’s eyes welled up again, "Alright."
She too would ensure Cain Rhodes paid it back doubly.
No.
It’s Dominic Rhodes.
He doesn’t deserve the na her sister gave him.
May’s mood was so terrible that she worried about affecting everyone’s spirits, "I’m a bit tired, so I’ll rest in the room for a while, Finn, can you accompany Tiana tonight?"
Finn was montarily stunned, for Tiana’s matters, May had always been hands-on. This ti, what happened?
"Is that okay?"
Finn replied, "Okay."
As May turned to leave, her shoulders trembled slightly, despite her effort to suppress it, it was futile.
After she entered the room, Finn asked, "What happened to May?"
Tiana didn’t intend to keep it from Finn, and shared the matter with him.
Finn was shocked after hearing it.
He stayed silent for a long while before asking, "Do we have to face him tonight in the scene?"
"Hmm."
There was a fight scene, to be shot in the bamboo forest.
"I’ll stay with you." He wouldn’t let Dominic Rhodes harm her.
Tiana nodded, "May’s mood might be poor lately, Finn, bear with her a bit."
"I understand."
Finn nodded, his expression sowhat solemn.
...
In the evening.
After dinner, everyone went to the bamboo forest.
Tiana squinted gently, recalling the last ti she got hurt here.
This ti...
Her gaze exuded a chilling aura, colder and more aloof than the moonlight in the night.
Dominic Rhodes.
Thinking of what he did to Lily Sloane made her clench her hands into fists fiercely.
As she released them, a charming smile danced on her lips. Lazily curling them, she softly called out, "Finn."
Finn looked at her, his heart slightly stirred.
Seeing her like this made his eyelid twitch inexplicably; he felt that tonight might not be so peaceful.
He pressed his lips together, "I’m here."
Tiana smiled brightly, "Is this your first ti accompanying on a shoot?"
