Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The kiss lasted a long time, and countless sparks surged through Jared Farrell’s body as he gradually lost his sense of reason. His slender fingers roamed over Tina’s body. Tina felt a sudden heat and snapped back to reality, kicking Jared Farrell away.

“Hiss!” Jared Farrell let out a soft grunt, “Tina, are you trying to murder your husband?”

Tina’s cheeks flushed, and an embarrassed look swept across her delicate face. She adjusted her torn collar, “Uncle! You crossed the line!”

Had she been too lenient with Jared Farrell lately? His courage seemed to grow, daring to extend his hand further.

Just as she was about to think of a way to teach Jared Farrell a lesson, she noticed his gaze fixed on her chest. Tina raised her hand to slap him but was gently caught by Jared Farrell.

“Don’t move!” He reached for the pendant hanging around Tina’s neck, which had been revealed during their tussle. He pulled out an identical pendant from his own neck and placed them together. The two halves formed a key pattern.

Tina frowned, “A key?”

Jared Farrell’s deep eyes narrowed slightly. Both he and Tina knew they each had a pendant but had never thought that together they would form a key. He paused for a moment and asked, “Did Master leave you anything that needs unlocking?”

Tina shook her head, “No.” Her mother had only told her about the whereabouts of the potion and instructed her to find it. Now, she had three potions in total-one from Hugo, one from Courtney, and one she already possessed. Her mother had mentioned only two potions, clearly not telling the whole truth. So far, Tina had discovered at least six potions.

What was this lock that her mother left behind meant to open? Tina’s eyes narrowed for a moment before she suddenly looked towards Whispering Pines’ courtyard with deep eyes, “I underestimated him.”

“Don’t worry! The fox will always show its tail!” Jared Farrell’s eyes narrowed as his demeanor turned cold. Anyone who harmed Master would pay the price!

Tina nodded without saying more. The ambiguous atmosphere between them vanished instantly. Jared Farrell said softly, “Get some rest early!”

The next day! As soon as Tina woke up, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to find Jared Farrell leaning against the wall with a helpless expression on his stern face.

Tina raised an eyebrow, “What?”

Jared Farrell rubbed his temples and held his phone out to Tina.

“Are you even listening to me? When are you going to bring Tina back? If you can’t handle such a small task, don’t call yourself my grandson anymore.” Logan was ranting at Jared Farrell on the screen.

“Tina?” Logan suddenly noticed Tina and immediately changed his tone, smiling so broadly that his eyes turned into slits. “Come visit Grandpa’s house? Grandpa has prepared lots of fun things for you.”

Tina smiled slightly, “Okay.”

Logan was overjoyed when he heard Tina agree and stopped scolding Jared Farrell. He hung up the phone and went off to instruct the servants to prepare.

Jared Farrell finally dealt with the old man and chuckled at Tina, “I can finally take my girl home.”

Though they had met before, this was their first official visit.

“Who said I’m your girl?” Tina glanced at Jared Farrell indifferently.

Jared Farrell felt a surge of warmth in his heart from her look and moved closer to hold her hand. “You will be, my most beautiful Tina,” he said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pecked her lips lightly, “and the sweetest.”

A blush spread across Tina’s fair and delicate face! This man was toxic! Every time he got close, she couldn’t control herself!

“Ahem!” A light cough came from nearby.

Jared Farrell turned to see Jasper and Annabelle walking down the corridor. Both Jared Farrell and Tina felt a bit awkward.

“Annabelle, Jasper,” Jared Farrell greeted them politely without losing his composure.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Annabelle asked kindly.

“Not bad,” Tina replied coolly, completely ignoring Jasper’s longing and concerned gaze.

Annabelle didn’t know what to say in response to Tina’s indifferent attitude, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

At that moment, Muff came downstairs. Having not fully recovered and having rushed back from the sanatorium last night, he hadn’t slept well in this new place. His elderly eyes were red and swollen.

Others also came down one after another. After last night’s events, everyone understood what kind of person Tina was and greeted her with smiles. Only Griffin avoided looking at her; thinking about how she’d tricked him out of $120 million made his heart ache.

The servants brought breakfast up. Muff sat at the head of the table, his old eyes scanning everyone before settling on Tina with a smile on his serious face. “How are you adjusting?”

Tina raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, “What do you think?”

Everyone else gasped! How bold of Tina! Talking to the old man like that? Didn’t she know how ruthless he could be when angry?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Just as they thought Muff would get angry, he laughed heartily instead. “Haha! Seems like you’re still holding a grudge? Your temper is just like mine-never taking any loss!”

Tina remained silent without responding.

“And that’s how it should be!” Muff leaned back in his chair with an air of authority. “A child of the Reed family should always retaliate when wronged! You did well!”

Tina looked up in surprise! Muff was different from other members of the Reed family. So far, apart from Liliosa and Griffin causing trouble for her, no one else in the Reed family had given her any grief.

Seeing her silence, Muff laughed again. “What? Did you think because Liliosa is my daughter I’d side with her?”

Tina didn’t respond!

Annabelle and Jasper often expressed their happiness about her return but only scolded Liliosa mildly when she caused trouble for Tina-helping on the surface but actually aiding Liliosa. This was why Tina found it hard to have a good attitude towards Annabelle and Jasper.

“Girl,” Muff sat up straight and looked at Tina earnestly. “A truly strong family doesn’t tolerate parasites.”

Tina paused before smiling! Indeed, the perspective of a family head was different!

During breakfast, everyone remained silent without speaking further.

After eating, Jared Farrell put down his chopsticks elegantly and wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Mr. Farrell,” he said formally yet warmly while addressing Muff directly for perhaps one of the first times since arriving at Whispering Pines Estate earlier that week; “Tina will accompany me home today-to meet my grandfather.”
