    After supper, James didn’t wait long before he took off with Mirabe. On their offered Niki a lift for


    good measure.

    Vincent rarely came to the family estate these days and had just arrived home when he saw his


    grandfather, Knox, seeing off some quests. He lingered in the yard for a while, watching the group


    depart from a distance. For a fleeting moment, he thought he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure,


    but by the time he focused, the person was already getting into a car.


    Before long. Knox approached him, “Kid, what’s gotten into you to drop by today?”


    Vincent had already shifted his gaze away, his handsome face as cool as ever. Only when looking at


    his grandfather, would his eyes soften unconsciously, “Didn’t you tell me that you whipped up a couple


    of new dishes? I’m just here to y guinea pig for your culinary experiments.”


    Normally, this would have touched Knox, but tonight, he just huffed, “Not necessary. Your pte is only


    good for eating. You never have any constructive feedback.”


    As Knox headed inside, he continued, “I’ve been telling you to learn cooking from me, but all you do is


    make excuses about solving puzzles. Are puzzles really that enticing?”


    The same went for that girl who had sparked his interest in taking on an apprentice, always talking


    about needing to study. What was with the youth today? Shouldn’t they be eager to pick up some


    practical skills?


    Every time Vincent heard Knox’s ramblings, his head ached, so he didn’t take the bait. Instead.


    changing the subject, “Grandpa, who were those guests just now?”


    Knox raised an eyebrow, giving Vincent a sidelong nce, “Why, you know them?”


    Vincent’s gaze intensified slightly, “Not really. It’s just rare we have visitors, so I was curious.”


    “Don’t be nosy. Some people aren’t your business to inquire about,” Knox said seriously.


    Vincent acknowledged the point. “Understood.”


    Suddenly, Knox patted his shoulder with a hint of mncholy. “One day, the Mendoza legacy will be in


    your hands. I might not be around much longer, but I’ll set everything up for you. So. for now, enjoy


    doing what you like.”


    “Grandpa,e on. It’s windy out here. Let’s get inside,” Vincent said as he steadied Knox, guiding


    him towards the main house.


    Knox chuckled and let himself be led away.


    In the car, with Niki present, Mirabe kept to herself, leaning against the car door, eyes closed,


    resting.

    When her phone buzzed in her pocket, she opened her eyes and fished it out.


    It was a message from Leo, asking when she’d be home.


    Mirabe nced outside and then at Niki, who was chatting with Wyatt in the front. After al brief


    moment, she spoke up, “Wyatt, you can drop me off at the next intersection.”


    Wyatt instinctively nced at his boss in the rearview mirror. James turned to Mirabe, “Something


    up?”


    Mirabe responded softly. “I’ll just grab a cab home.”


    James, ever the gentleman, didn’t pressure her, merely advising, “Stay safe.”


    Wyatt had already pulled the car to a stop by the curb. Mirabe waved goodbye, opened the door, and


    stepped out. “I’m off.”


    After Mirabe got into a taxi on the roadside, Wyatt didn’t immediately drive away. He watched. until


    Mirabe was settled in the cab before moving on.


    James raised an eyebrow, noting that Mirabe was bing quite perceptive.


    “That youngdy…” Niki, sitting in the passenger seat, began slowly.
