Micah could only try to make up for his past mistakes and prevent Darya from drifting further away.

Meanwhile, in a grand estate on the serene outskirts of Gavarnia, several bodyguards and servants stood nervously in a lavishly decorated study. Their gazes were fixed on the man flipping through documents behind the desk. The man, with blonde hair and a stern expression, appeared ready to erupt at any moment.

As the tension in the room reached its peak, a series of knocks on the door broke the silence.

A suited man hurriedly entered, barely containing his excitement. “We found him! The young master left with a woman! We’ve located their position and can send a team to bring him back immediately!”

The man behind the desk, his thin lips pressed together, slowly set the file down. “Are you telling me a woman kidnapped him?”

The suited man nodded solemnly. “It seems so, sir. That’s the situation.”

At that moment, another bodyguard hesitantly spoke up. “Actually… um… actually, that lady didn’t kidnap the young master. He went with her willingly… I overheard him call her his ‘pretty sister’…”

“Pretty sister?”

The man furrowed his brows, his voice cold. “Bring him back.”

The suited man hesitated for a moment before asking, “Should we teach that woman a lesson then?”

“Are you telling me what to do?”

“No, of course not, sir!” the suited man shivered, quickly shutting his mouth before leaving the study.

At Jack’s insistence, Darya took him to a popular fried chicken joint called Crispy Delights. The aroma of sizzling chicken filled the air as they entered the bustling restaurant. Darya watched as Jack savored a large drumstick, his eyes shining with joy.

“Mmm, this is so delicious! You’re the best, Darya! I wish you were my mom!” Jack mumbled, his mouth full of chicken. His innocent remarks tugged at Darya’s heartstrings. She couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of sympathy for him. Having grown up without a mother herself, she understood the longing for a parental figure’s love.

However, she reminded herself that Jack wasn’t her child. He was simply a lost boy in need of help. Reuniting him with his family was her top priority.

“Jack, where’s your dad? Are you sure you don’t want to go back home?” Darya asked, her eyes filled with concern as Jack continued to enjoy his meal.

Upon hearing her question, Jack’s bright eyes immediately welled up with tears. “Don’t you like me?”

“Of course I like you! But your family must be really worried about you. They’ve been searching for you for so long.”
