Hannah finally showed a relieved smile. She had never had children of her own, and Ethan was about the same as one. Seeing the two people she cared about finally end up together was her greatest wish.

Dawn took Benjamin to wash his hands and changed him into clean clothes.

She let out a soft sigh. “Benjamin, you’re always like this. If Ethan gets tired of you, I won’t be able to help you.”

“No way.”

The little guy was very confident. “He’ll only like me more.”

“Really? Then don’t cry too loud when the time comes.”

Ethan might be polite and well–mannered, but he had never been patient with kids. The fact that he hadn’t kicked Benjamin out already was surprising.

Benjamin never thought that far. He only muttered, “I’m so good to him. I even give him all the tasty things. Why wouldn’t he like me?”

Dawn froze.

Well, he still has to want what you give.

Dawn puffed her cheeks and led him out.

Unexpectedly, Ethan was still there. He was in the living room finishing the hadn’t managed to build.

“Ethan!”

Benjamin perked up at once and dropped Dawn’s hand before running over.

“Ethan, can we play together? This is so hard. I haven’t been able to finish it.”

His soft little voice had barely landed when there was a click.

Ethan snapped the last piece into place, and it was done.

“Wow!”

Benjamin looked at him like he was a superhero “Daddy, you’re amazing! How did you do that? Can you teach me?”

Dawn was speechless.

If Aidan knew his son sold him out this fast, he’d drop dead from anger.

A small smile lifted her lips. She walked over, sat beside them, and propped her chin in her hand as she watched.

Ethan didn’t speak. His deep eyes lingered on the boy’s face from time to time. Whenever Benjamin looked up at him, he shifted his eyes away, pretending he hadn’t been staring.

Dawn’s brows moved. She sensed something.

A quick, knowing smile crossed her face as she stood up.

With both hands on her knees, she half–crouched in front of them. “Mr. Jackson, I still have some work to finish… Can I leave Benjamin with you?”

Faced with her bright eyes, Ethan’s throat bobbed. He gave a casual hum.

Dawn gave him a meaningful look and turned to go upstairs.

She really did have work to finish.

She called Mason and confirmed everything again, then went over the schedule for

tomorrow.

“Oh, right.” Dawn suddenly thought of something. “My dad said he’ll be back in the country soon. Do you know the exact time?”

Mason was silent for two seconds. “Ms. West, I’m sorry.”

He said he was sorry, not that he didn’t know.

He worked for Vincent. When he first came to her side, it was mostly to keep an eye on her.

The fact that he stopped being a double agent at all was only because of Dawn’s influence.

But he would never betray Vincent.

“I see.”

Dawn’s expression cooled. She hung up.

The night outside the window was heavy. There wasn’t a single star.

She lifted her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, certain of one thing more than ever.

If she wanted results, she needed people she could trust completely. Mason…

It wasn’t that he couldn’t be trusted. It just wasn’t time yet.

Right now, she could only count on Aidan and Donald.

Dawn exhaled softly and sent him a message. “Benjamin is with me. Since the bar is already moving forward, you can start working on what told you before.”

A few seconds later, he texted back.

Just one word.

“Okay.”

Dawn stood by the window, lost in thought. The sudden ring of her phone almost made her jump.

She picked it up and saw the caller–Vincent.

Why is he calling now?

A bad feeling slid into her chest as she answered

“Dawn.”

Vincent spoke in a soft, deliberate tone. “I heard you went to the project team today. How was it? Everything smooth?”

Dawn looked out the window with calm eyes. “Yeah. I just didn’t know you bro back. It almost caused a misunderstanding.”

“That one’s on me.” Vincent chuckled. “But she’s been too idle lately, so I figured I’d give her something to do.”

“So you mean I don’t have to bother with her?”

“You can see it that way.”

He never needed to talk in circles with Dawn.

After a few casual comments, Vincent’s tone shifted. It sank. “By the way, you’d better take what I asked you to do seriously.”

Dawn pressed her lips together. In the dim light her face looked even paler.

After hanging up, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Her brows pinched together, heavy with worry.

How did I forget? The only reason he allowed me to come home was that he gave me a mission.

It was something she herself wanted to figure out.

But wanting to do it and being forced to do it under someone’s watch were not the same at all.
