When Luca Jennings formally introduced himself and said she should know him, Magnolia Hearne realized he had always been aware of her.
Although she never thought there would be any development with Luca Jennings in this world, the fact is, right in front of her is a "karmic bond" she left during eighteen years in the Otherworld.
She thought that after returning to her original world, this Chapter would be completely closed.
Who would have thought she would return to the Otherworld.
Moreover, Luca Jennings from the Otherworld would seek her out.
"Luca Jennings... I know you."
Clearly, he’s her husband, but Magnolia Hearne inexplicably felt like an absurd situation where a lover has come knocking.
At this moment, facing Luca Jennings’ serious gaze, she could only continue to feign ignorance,
"Do you have something you need?"
She came to the Otherworld this time purely by accident; neither she nor Scarlett were planning to stay, so during this trip, she hadn’t planned to have any "engagement" with Luca Jennings.
Magnolia Hearne obviously pretended to be clueless, and Luca Jennings naturally saw through it.
But since he came, he wasn’t planning to be vague or evasive.
With intense brows falling on her face, Luca Jennings directly asked her,
"Where have you been for over two years?"
Magnolia Hearne was really dumbfounded now.
The person in front of her, no matter from the brows or other aspects, was exactly the way she knew. She was familiar with Luca Jennings from the original world, and naturally, she was also familiar with Luca Jennings in front of her.
His tone sounded like interrogation, but she knew he was seriously asking where she had been.
Just like back then... when she left for months to bring back relics from abroad.
Not contacting for several months, Luca Jennings at that time also opened his mouth and "questioned" her about where she had gone.
There was an uneasy speculation hidden in her heart.
Magnolia Hearne instinctively took a step back.
Her move in Luca Jennings’ eyes only seemed she was startled by his tone.
As the Family Head of the Jennings Family, he was always aware of what he looked like in other people’s eyes.
Luca Jennings pressed his lips together, slightly softened his expression, planning to speak again, when suddenly a clear female voice unexpectedly rang out from the villa,
"Mom, is it someone you know?"
Scarlett Jennings’ appearance made both Magnolia Hearne and Luca Jennings visibly astonished.
Magnolia Hearne looked at Scarlett who suddenly approached and replied belatedly, "Ah, sort of."
Scarlett looked at Luca Jennings.
Back then when she first arrived in the Otherworld, she was also curious about what the father from this world would be like.
It wasn’t her first time seeing him, so she was very clearly aware that the person in front of her was only Luca Jennings from the Otherworld.
He wasn’t her father.
Suppressing all emotions, Scarlett Jennings politely asked what Luca Jennings wanted.
It was only then that Luca Jennings suddenly jolted back to his senses, looking at the two standing together, and after a long pause, asked a question he found absurd even to himself,
"Is she your daughter?"
Magnolia Hearne found him silly but still nodded, "Yes..."
She thought it would be good for him to know she was married.
When she first arrived in the Otherworld, she had once been grateful that Luca Jennings from this world hadn’t married.
She was too lonely in the Otherworld, and when she missed him, she could only use him to miss that person from the original world.
But later, year after year, she watched him while the families of his younger brother and sister were complete and harmonious; he remained alone.
From his thirties to forties, then fifties, he was always by himself.
She sincerely hoped he would find someone he loved to accompany him through his remaining years.
