Even though he used the word “please,” Jasper’s gaze remained immovable.

He pulled the car over to the curb and slowly turned his head to look at her. His handsome, chiseled features flickered in and out of the shadows as the headlights of pa

by, making him look like a dark creature lurking in the night, watching ov

treasure.

Tatiana deliberately drew out her words. “And what if I refuse?”

She knew perfectly well that the current Jasper would no longer force her into anything or do anything to make her uncomfortable. But she enjoyed making things difficult for him. She wanted to see his brow furrow, to see that expression of conflicted helplessness.

She was feeling a little wicked.

The next moment, a faint click sounded.

A shadow loomed over her. He leaned across the center console, invading the passenger side. One hand braced against the window frame while the other gripped the back of her seat, effectively caging her in.

They were so close she could smell the faint, clean scent of cedarwood clinging to him. The posture was incredibly intimate.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she kept her face neutral. “Are you planning to force my hand?”

“No,” he murmured, his voice low. “I’m begging you.”

“Oh? This is how you beg?”

“Yes. I’m begging you to take me with you.” His voice wasn’t a plea so much as a seductive lure. “I can help you. I can do far more for you than those men ever could.”

With such a man right in front of her, it was hard to remain indifferent. T.

“And what exactly can you do?”

His eyes darkened, turning into a deep, black abyss that threatened to pull her under. “Anything you want.”

Tatiana suddenly leaned in, closing the distance until it seemed she might actually kiss him. Jasper’s entire body stiffened. As that lovely face drew near, his heart began to pound with an

The raw emotion threatened to break through his resolve and seize his senses. But just a fraction of an inch from his lips, Tatiana stopped and laughed.

“Your heart is beating so loudly. I can hear it perfectly.”

He looked down and saw the mischief in her eyes. She had done it on purpose.

Jasper took a deep breath, admitting total defeat. When it came to the art of seduction, he was no match for her. He was willing to be led into the abyss by her, unable and unwilling to struggle.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The car roared back to life. After he dropped her off at the manor, Tatiana unbuckled her seatbelt. Just as she was about to step out, she tossed a sentence over her shoulder: “Pick me up tomorrow at eight.”

Jasper froze, but before he could say a word, she was already gone. He couldn’t help but

chuckle.

“Understood.”

The next day.

Jasper arrived thirty minutes early. He didn’t notify Tatiana; he simply waited in silence.

It was Hubert, with his sharp eyes, who spotted him first. He came skipping over. “Mommy! Is that Daddy? Is Daddy here?”

Tatiana answered casually, “He shouldn’t be here yet…” But knowing Jasper’s style, she quickly went to the window to check.

Sure enough, a familiar car was parked by the gate. She pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

“My house doesn’t need a gatekeeper.”

“Hmm?”

“Come up.”

The two little ones were overjoyed. Previously, fearing their mother might be unhappy, they hadn’t dared to express how much they missed him. Now that he was here, they couldn’t hide their excitement.

Seeing this, Tatiana felt a pang of guilt. Had she been too strict with them They were still young; it was only natural for them to want their father.

Jasper entered shortly after, much to the delight of Ann and Hubert.

“Daddy! Did you eat breakfast?”

“Daddy, are you hungry?”

Tatiana had the chef prepare another portion. For a rare moment, the four of them shared a quiet meal together. Although they had business today, there was no urgent rush, so she didn’t stop Jasper from playing with the kids for a while.

When it was time to leave, Ann and Hubert were reluctant, but they knew their parents had things to do and didn’t cling. As they walked out together, Tatiana glanced back and saw the children’s longing gazes. She gave a soft laugh.

“From now on, come over for breakfast every day.”

Jasper was stunned.

“Unwilling?”

“No, I’m willing.”

How could he not be? He knew she had softened her heart and taken another step toward him. Step by step, he would eventually find his way back into her life for good.

“The next fighter entering the ring is Number 77! Code name: Bovine!”

A wave of laughter erupted from the audience at the ridiculous name.

“What kind of stupid name is that? That’s hilarious!”

“Bovine? I like it! Must be some big, sturdy ox of a man!”

“Hahaha! His opponent is the Giant! He’s got terrifying strength! That ‘ox‘ is going to get slaughtered!”

“A newcomer? This is the intermediate ring–you rarely see fresh meat here!”

Intermediate status meant the fighters were no longer bottom–tier; they were experienced, ruthless veterans. Furthermore, the intermediate ring had a sadistic rule: there was no surrendering. The fight only ended when one side was beaten unconscious.
