Saying this, Lennon took two steps towards Bryce.
Lennon stepped closer, tension rising.
His gaze grew colder.
“What do you take her for?” Lennon’s eyes were cold.“She has no obligation to take you back, you
trash.”
The smile left Bryce’s eyes.
His face darkened, but Mariela’s voice interrupted, “Mr. Vance, you’re here. Why didn’t you come
in?”
Mariela had seen Bryce standing outside the gate from upstairs and came out.
Bryce stood at the door, visible through the gate.
Lennon was behind a wall, obscured by a tree, unseen by Mariela.
Hearing Mariela, Bryce’s face softened.
He turned, and called out, “Coming.”
Then he smiled at Lennon, “Mr. Stark, excuse me, I must take my
leave now.”
Bryce walked to the back seat, opened the door, and said to Annika, “Let’s go. Marie is waiting for
- us.
“Yay!” Annika was excited.
Lennon watched Bryce, his fingers tightening.

Haleigh had a good impression of Bryce.
Last time at the hospital, upon learning that Bryce had gotten a protection charm for Mariela, she went home and told Deandre about it.
Deandre reacted mildly, just “Hmm,” not saying much.
Haleigh wasn’t sure what Deandre meant by “Hmm.”
Was he dissatisfied with Bryce?
Or did he approve of Bryce?
This time, both Haleigh and Deandre were home when Bryce visited, rare.
Bryce was polite and never came empty–handed.
He brought gifts before.
But Deandre and Haleigh hadn’t been home together then.

Bryce greeted Deandre and handed over gifts.
Two vintage red wines and premium coffee.
He knew Deandre liked coffee and occasionally drank.
The maid took the
gifts, Deandre glanced, slightly approving.
But this didn’t signify anything.
He wouldn’t approve of Bryce pursuing Mariela just for small gifts.
“You’ve made an effort,” Deandre said politely.
Haleigh smiled warmly, “Bryce, you didn’t need to bring gifts.”
