Someone’s World

Corrine was on her way back to the company. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a call from Jayden.

It wasn’t hard to figure out why–Jules, in his eagerness to curry favor, might have had already told Jayden everything.

She sighed softly before answering, her tone bright and affectionate. “Hello, Uncle Jayden.”

“Did it scare you?” Jayden wasted no time on pleasantries, his concern. cutting through the line. “Jules filled me in on everything. Don’t worry–I won’t let you face this alone. I’ll get to the bottom of it!”

His voice was steady, with an undertone of restrained anger, barely noticeable unless you knew him well.

but calm.

ignore.

She thought back to the most extravagant example–the time Corrine casually mentioned wanting ice cream. Instead of buying a single flavor, Jayden had purchased every flavor available in Lyhaton, just because he wasn’t sure which one she liked best.

Moments like that made it painfully obvious to Karina what it meant to be

the center of someone’s world.

Reflecting on this, she sighed softly, her voice tinged with sincerity. “Honestly, before I met you, I didn’t even know what envy felt like.”

“What?” Corrine arched a brow, her expression calm but curious, her casual demeanor masking her intrigue.
