“I’ll try my best, Mom,” Ashton said, his curiosity suddenly piquing. “Do you know anything about Miranda’s background or who she really is, Mom?”

Irene nodded, replying, “Miranda is Juniper Lancaster’s daughter. Juniper used to carry you around when you were just a baby.”

“Juniper?” Ashton recalled a charmin

panies, though I’m not sure exactly what kind of business he’s in.”

Ashton nodded slightly, knowing that his information had been spot on. Miranda’s father was indeed Aaron, one of the three major powers in Linton Island’s criminal underworld.

He shifted the topic, asking, “How have you been doing recently, Mom?”

“I’m fine, though I do miss Celia. Is Celia doing alright, Ash?” Irene asked.

Ashton’s heart ached the moment Celia’s name was brought up, but he still managed to force a smile and said, Celia is doing fine. I’ll bring her back soon so that you can spend some time with Celia, Mom.”

“That’d be wonderful!” Irene exclaimed, a broad smile spreading across her face.

Ashton spent the rest of the time chatting with Irene, catching up on the small details of daily life. He carefully examined her physical condition, only relaxing once he was certain she was in good health.

It gradually grew late. Irene looked up at the darkening sky and said, “You should go wash up and make yourself presentable, Ash. You should make an effort to get along with Miranda, and if things click, take a chance–she’s a wonderful woman, after all.

Irene froze, her expression turning somber. After all, it was a wound that refused to mend, and reopening it brought back all the raw, stinging pain.

She looked visibly anxious as she stammered, “W–Why would you ask that, Ash? Has someone approached you?” Ashton’s pupils dilated slightly as he observed Irene’s distress, confirming his suspicion that Irene knew more than she was letting on. “You have nothing to worry about, Mom. No one has come looking for me about Dad. I’m just curious about what Dad was like.

“He’s been gone for such a long time, Mom. Do you really not hold a grudge against him? Have you never considered moving on with someone new?”
