Suzi heaved a sigh of relief after making the phone call. She told Ste, “Fortunately, the doctor had advised her ordingly and she didn’t eat it. Elvis was the one who finished it. They are pretty close these days, I think that they are quitepatible.”


    “Yeah,” Ste replied softly. “Mom, let me help you bring out the dishes.”


    She then entered the kitchen with Suzi.


    Suzi had made some pork ribs and fresh fish soup, which were Jasper’s favorite. She also made some meatballsagna and sd.


    “Mom, you’ve made so much, I’ll get fat really easily like this,” Ste joked.


    Bemy wanted to say that he would still like her even if she was fat. However, he remembered Ste’s reminder of how Jasper was usually a reserved person, so he did not say anything in the end.


    Suzi put her arm around Ste’s shoulder. “If Jasper dares dislike you, I will hit him.”


    Steughed.


    She missed Jasper, she really did.


    As sheughed, her eyes turned red.


    She lowered her eyes, trying to hide the emotions in her eyes with her long eyshes so that it would go unnoticed.


    The three of them sat at the tableand ate a delicious dinner together.


    Suzi looked at Bemy, and then at Ste. “Have you two decided on leaving this ce?”


    Bemy did not say anything and he turned to look at Ste.


    Ste shook her head. If Jasper was here, she would not go anywhere.


    “I thought about leaving in the past, not because I had high expectations for the outside world, but because I wanted to hide from Christian and Quinn. I wanted to hide from the people who would harm us. But now, Christian is dead, and Quinn is going to be arrested,so we are safe. After all, my friends, family, and memories are all here. We won’t leave anymore,” Ste said.


    Bemy held Ste’s hand.


    She did not withdraw her hand because Suzi was in front of them. Even so, she did not look at Bemy.


    “It’s a good thing that you aren’t leaving. Here I was, wondering where you would go if you were to leave. I kept thinking about it, and there seems to be nowhere that I could think of. In truth, home is where the heart is. You could still visit those other ces during vacation. Otherwise, we would lose our way easily,” Suzi said happily.


    “That’s right. With a home, we will always find our way,” Ste withdrew her hand from Bemy hastily and went to get more soup.


    Bemy immediately helped her get adle and fill her bowl with soup.


    He also filled a bowl of soup for Suzi.


    Suzi looked at Bemy happily. “After experiencing so much, Jasper has finally learned to care for others. Very good, very good.”


    Bemy imitated Jasper’s nonchnce. “Yeah,” he said.


    Suzi took the tes to the kitchen after the meal. Bemy went out of the door and called Elvis. “Do we have a suitable maid in our midst?”


    “No, the Dark Shadow only has one woman, and that is Lte. We have not searched for another maid ever since Lte’s ident. We are worried that if we were to look for one and ce her in the vi without proper vetting, she will pose a threat to Mrs. Milton,” Elvis exined.


    “I see. I will send one of my people here tomorrow to take care of the chores in the manor. You don’t have to worry about my people,” Bemy said.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “Of course. Chief, there’s something I should let you know too. The Dark Shadow wille back to work tomorrow. Should we hide your identity, or should we let them know?” Elvis asked.


    “Tell them the truth. Once the lie is exposed, it will be a different story. But, we mustn’t let Suzi know about it for the time being. I don’t want her to be sad,” Bemy exined.


    “Okay, I understand,” Elvis hung up the phone.


    Bemy turned around.


    Ste was behind him.


    “Let’s go out for a walk. I have something to ask you,” Ste said.


    “Give me a moment,” Bemy took Ste’s jacket and wrapped it around her body. He reminded her,“It is very cold outside. Don’t catch a cold.”


    “Okay,” Ste tidied up her clothes before walking out of the room.


    The moon was visible in the dark sky, along with a few scattered stars. When the wind blew, it brought with it a coolness whichmade their thinking much clearer. It was indeed refreshing.


    “I remember thatyou were searching for something when you first appeared. What were you looking for?” Ste asked him.


    “A photo. It was a photo of me and Jasper when we were born. I gave it to Steven when I looked for him at that time, but I couldn’t find it.Perhaps he already burned it,” Bemy exined.


    “So you have already contacted Jasper’s father?” Ste was surprised.


    “Yes, when Jasper left the military base and became a businessman, I contacted his adopted father and told him that I was Jasper’s twin brother,” Bemy told her everything.


    This was something that Ste did not expect, “Were you the reason behind Jasper’s adopted father moving here?”


    “That’s right, because there is a secret passage in the vi. Even if I had contact with him, no one would know.”


    “So, Jasper’s adopted father was the one that gave you the map of the secret passages,” she guessed.


    “That’s right, we have been nning this all along. Me being able to be the Secretary of External Affairs has a lot to do with Steven’s ns,” Bemy exined.


    “But, when Jasper’s father was on the verge of death, he still didn’t mention anything about you,” Ste asked curiously, “Why is that?”


    “I think that there are several possibilities. Firstly,Steven was in poor healthwhen Jasper came back, and he passed away before he could say it. Secondly, he thought that he would not gain anything from saying it, and that I would be in danger too. Hence, he decided against revealing it. The third possibility would be thathe did say it, but Jasper just didn’t tell you about it,” Bemy analyzed.


    Ste took a deep breath. She seemed to have understood. “Actually, you don’t know where Dante is, right?”


    “I don’t, butAnthony knows. So, it would be easy for you to find Dante.”


    Ste shook her head. She was afraid that her determination would be shattered after seeing Dante. “Dante is happy with his adoptive parents. I will always be his mother, but I don’t want him to feel bad now.”


    “That is the right decision to make,” Bemy agreed.


    Ste did not say anything. She stepped on the dead branchesthat made a rustling sound, it made her feel even lonelier.


    She was afraid of this loneliness and it felt as though it was suffocating her. She asked, “Bemy, are you married to Tinley?”


    “No, Tinley is actually Samuel’s illegitimate daughter. He had always wanted Tinley to marry me, but I only regarded her as my younger sister, and…” Bemy paused for a moment with a strange blush on his face. “I have never been intimate with any woman before.”


    “Oh,” Ste replied softly. She walked to the side of theke and looked at the surface of theke. She said coldly, “Don’t fall in love with me.”


    Bemy stood beside her and said helplessly, “I’m already in love with you. What should I do then?”
