"What do you want from me?" Hanabi snarled at Alexander. The two went out instead of staying in the headquarters. Alexander preferred to talk to her in a place far away from the members of the Sawada Clan and Vincent. Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

"Do you know anything about the relationship between Phantomflake and the leader of the King Stallion Mafia? Do they really have a child?" Alexander couldn't hide his lingering doubts. "If he is in love with Monica, how did he get involved with Phantomflake?"

Hanabi shrugged her shoulders. "How am I supposed to know? You should ask Vincent yourself."

"So are you worried that Vincent was cheating on Monica? Do you still want to protect her despite everything she has done wrong against you? Are you doubting us?" Hanabi asked him exasperatedly. Just the thought of Alexander worrying about Monica made her enraged.

Realizing Hanabi's annoyance, Alexander immediately shook his head. "No. I am just curious. I'm not doubting you. I learned the truth thanks to you."

"Good! You should wake up and stop being a fool." Hanabi felt glad since Alexander believed her words.

"I already pulled out my men. We won't interfere. This is no longer our fight. I will not help the King Stallion Mafia but I can't break our alliance that easily." Alexander informed Hanabi. He felt the obligation to tell her this information.

"Hmm. I'm happy to hear that. So, why did you bring me here?" Hanabi's eyes scanned her surroundings. They were currently inside a bar. He chose a private booth wherein they could both settle in and drink.

"I just want to unwind and enjoy drinks. But I didn't bring my wallet so... I guess you have to pay for my bills. I promise I'll pay you back once I return to my place," Alexander replied in his casual tone.

"SERIOUSLY?" Hanabi exclaimed in disbelief. She wanted to punch this guy. "What do you think of me? Your treasurer and financial officer?!"

Alexander's brow twitched when he heard her complaint. "I told you. I'm going to pay you. Just cooperate with me, okay? I'm not in the mood to argue with you."

After saying that, Alexander pressed the buzz button indicating he was ready to order. It did not take long before a waiter entered the booth. Alexander ordered beers.

Jane, Nathan, and Tatsumi reached his residence. Since he lived alone, there was no issue bringing the couple there. Nathan's presence could remain discreet, and Tatsumi, despite harboring a sense of envy, opted to fulfill his promise to assist Jane.

"I'll just go out and buy some stuff. Feel free to make yourselves at home." Tatsumi wanted to avoid seeing the couple together because he couldn't easily get over his feelings towards Jane. It seemed wiser to keep a distance while the couple spent time together.

"Okay. Be careful." Jane felt so grateful to Tatsumi. He was very helpful tonight.

When Tatsumi left, Jane focused her attention on Nathan. She approached him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She gazed up, watching Nathan's charming face. "I'm surprised. But I'm so happy because you are here. I've missed you so much." Jane conveyed her feelings.

Nathan, on the other hand, extended his hand, gently cupping her face. "This is my surprise. I also granted your wish. You wished for me to be here, didn't you?" Nathan had finally composed himself. His jealousy dissipated the moment Jane embraced him tightly.

Jane couldn't help but release a soft giggle, rising on her tiptoes as she planted a tender kiss on his lips. The warmth of the moment enveloped them, a sweet exchange that spoke volumes.

"I miss you too," Nathan declared, lifting her chin as he sealed her lips in a long passionate kiss. He was no longer upset. He just felt so happy being with her.

The two were panting when they got separated. "Shall we go upstairs?" Jane didn't want Tatsumi to see their intimate moments for his own sake. She didn't want to cause more pain to his broken heart.

"You should also change your clothes. I'm getting used to seeing you in a waiter's uniform." Jane teased him.

Nathan just blinked several times in amusement. "Don't laugh at me. I did this so that I could see you."

"I know." Jane caressed Nathan's face. "That's why... I'm going to treat you well tonight." She even winked at him.

Nathan put on a cheeky smile when he heard that. He grabbed her by her waist, pulling her closer to him. "I'll look forward to that 'treatment'." He captured her lips once again before he drew back.

"Go! Take a quick shower first." Jane pushed his back as they ascended the stairs.

Though she was smiling in front of Nathan, she was still bothered by Vincent's revelation. His words continued to linger in her mind. [ "Your child is alive." ]

[ "I'm the father of your child. And I saved our child. ]
