This night felt especially long. Gray mist surged in from all directions, shrouding the city, then receded at dawn and slowly thinned.

Dawn dozed off for a bit. When she woke up, the sky was already bright.

She got up and walked to the window, gently lifting the curtain.

The car at the gate was gone.

She couldn’t tell if she felt disappointed or relieved. She went back to bed and lay there, staring at the ceiling in silence.

More than ten minutes later, Micah knocked on the door. “You up yet? Raven says it’s time to eat.”

In just a few days, he’d already grown very familiar with her.

Dawn answered, took a few deep breaths, and got out of bed.

She went to the bathroom.

After washing up, she headed downstairs. Before she even reached the dining room, she suddenly stopped. Her gaze locked onto Micah. She didn’t bother to hide her feelings, “Why is he here?”

“Uh…”

Micah’s eyes darted around as he played dumb.

“Ethan’s just here for breakfast. We’re not that petty, right? We should be hospitable, shouldn’t we?”

Hospitable, my ass.

Dawn pressed her lips together, then looked toward the man sitting upright at the table. He didn’t look at her. His attention seemed fully on the food in front of him, as if he were truly there just to eat.

She didn’t say anything more. She pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Ms. Porter, here’s your lobster bisque.”

Raven brought over a small pot and set it in front of Dawn.

She sensed the atmosphere was off and didn’t dare linger. She set it down and quickly turned away.

That small action made the already strange mood in the dining room even harder to read. Both men looked calm and composed. The difference was that one was acting, and the other wasn’t.

Micah was silently miserable inside, but he still had to keep up appearances.

He picked food for his sister.

Then gave her a soothing smile.

In return, he got a glare and a hard kick under the table.

Ethan saw all of it. His expression didn’t change at all. He continued eating breakfast calmly.

It was as if nothing had happened the night before. As if all the earlier conflict had been an illusion.

They looked unexpectedly close, sitting here together, eating breakfast in harmony.

Every bite Dawn put in her mouth tasted like wax. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. With a sharp clack, she put down her utensils.

“I’m done eating. I’m going to work.”

Micah glanced at Ethan, who was beside him, and said halfheartedly, “I’ll walk you out.”

“No need.”

Dawn looked at the breakfast on his plate and sneered. “Eat more. Hope it gives you the runs.”

Micah froze.

Women can be vicious.

Before he could think of a comeback, Dawn was already out of the dining room. Moments later, the sound of a car horn came from the yard, then faded into the distance.

“Ethan… aren’t you going after her?”

“What for?”

Ethan reached out and took a sip of the milk Dawn hadn’t finished. His voice was calm. “Do you think she’d pay attention to me right now? She wouldn’t.”

Going now would just add fuel to the fire.

“So why would I ask for trouble?”

That makes sense, Micah thought. But… “Why did you come in, then?”

The man lifted his fork. The bacon, fried to a perfect golden brown, looked just right. “To eat breakfast, of course. I’m not used to eating outside food.”

Micah was speechless.

He’d thought this guy was going to make some kind of move today.

Turns out he really was just here for breakfast.

Ethan had parked his car in the complex’s lot that morning. As he walked over, a horn suddenly sounded behind him.

He turned at the sound.

Dawn passed by without a hint of expression.

She paused for a split second and said coldly, “Mr. Jackson, don’t waste your time. Once I’ve made a decision, there’s no turning back.”
