Compared to Ryan, Jamie is not important after all.
"Yes." Twelve says with certainty, and her eyes are sincere.
"And you are?" Jamie bites her pale lips and looks curiously at Twelve.
Twelve knows that she wants to ask who she is.
"I am his sister, and I am yours as well." she says softly, with a friendly smile.
The resident island is already in a mess.
It is late at night, and the islanders are asleep. No one has noticed that so many people have crept into the island.
At night, the Jones family is brightly lit and conspicuous in the dark.
It is bright and clear in the magnificent dazzling hall.
Dan stands up, reaches out a friendly hand to Caro and smiles at him. "Thanks for your cooperation."
Caro also shakes hands with him, much less dandy than usual. "You're Jamie's friend, I'll do you a favor," he says.
Dan raises an eyebrow. Why, he thinks, does the Caro send someone to contact him soon after he enters the island? It turns out to be because of Jamie.
It's just that he feels like his baby Jamie is being targeted.
"Thank you, Mr. Jones." Dan curls his lips slightly, his cold face looking calm, and his black eyes so deep that no one can know what he is thinking.
Caro pauses and wonders, "You thanked me for Jamie? Why thank me for her?"
He has a bad feeling, but Caro till asks Dan, and if he doesn't hear the answer, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Doesn't Jamie tell you?" Dan looks surprised, then slowly says, "I'm her husband."
Husband, husband?!
Caro's eyes widen as Dan says this. He is clearly too stunned to speak.
A touch of hurt and gloom creep on his handsome face, but Dan doesn't miss the look and keeps calm.
It’s lucky that he has married his baby Jamie. Otherwise, he would have had a hard time with all the people who are fond of her.
After that, Caro tries to ignore the feeling of loss and sadness. Even though he tells himself that he doesn't like Jamie, he is...
Why doesn't he like her?
He couldn't even make up a reason for not liking her.
Unexpectedly, she is already married, which no doubt deals a blow to Caro.
He may be a dandy on the surface, but if Jamie is his first love...
"Oh, we have a son who is four years old." As if he doesn’t think it a blow to Caro, Dan continues.
The shock is even more devastating for Caro than the fact that Jamie is already married.
