Chapter 108 Reunion After a Long Time

Jean shook her head quickly.

Finished

She looked into Easton’s eyes and said seriously, “Your place is great. I slept so well last night…. but something urgent has come up at home, and I really need to get back right away.”

Seeing Eason not replying, she quickly added, clearly trying to be convincing.

“I’m telling the truth, I promise,”

Easton chuckled at how earnest and adorably awkward she looked.

He let out a soft laugh, and the glow on his handsome face sparkled like sunlight. “All right, I believe you.”

Then he patted the table gently and said in a softer tone, “Eat breakfast first. I’ll take you soon as you’re done.”

back as

Jean didn’t argue. She obediently sat down at the table and ate more than half of the breakfast in front of her.

True to his word, as soon as she was done, Easton grabbed her luggage and headed for the door, urging her along as he went. “Come on, weren’t you the one in a hurry?”

He teased, “Why am I more anxious than you?”

Jean sulked, trying to keep up with his long strides. “It’s because your legs are too long and you walk too fast…”

The two chatted as they made their way to the underground garage.

Just like that, Easton, efficient as ever, drove them back to the Ginger mansion.

He parked his sports car right in front of the house and, like a true gentleman, took her luggage out of the car.

“Aren’t you coming in?” Jean asked as she watched him turn back to the driver’s seat without even glancing at the house. Biting her lip, she blurted out the question.

Easton paused.

His face was shaded by the trees, making his expression unreadable. Bits of dappled light fell across his features, making him look almost ethereal.

“Maybe not.” Easton curved his lips into a vague smile and unconsciously ruffled his hair. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been back… it would be awkward to show up all of a sudden.”

I had gotten used to being alone, cut off from my family and everything that went with it.

“What’s so awkward about it?”

She began to complain without a filter, “By that logic, shouldn’t you be uncomfortable being with

me?”

“But you

seemed to fit in just fine… Jean suddenly smiled and mimicked his tone playfully, “You even said I had to be a good big brother…

Easton couldn’t help but laugh again at her antics.

He smiled softly, the light in his eyes flickering, lost in thought. Just then, “Jean, you’re back?”

Sienna’s voice came from nearby, and they both turned their heads in her direction.

Sienna hurried over.

Easton froze again.

She had only noticed Jean at first, but as she came closer, her eyes landed on Easton.

Seeing the child she hadn’t seen in so long, Sienna blinked, clearly taken by surprise.

onfu

Surprise and confusion flashed through her eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something, but the words caught in her throat.

It was awkward, Distant.

Easton’s lips were pressed into a tight line. The smile was gone from his face. He stood still, his. expression unreadable.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Jean gave a small cough and looked at Sienna with a smile. “Mom, Easton brought me home. 1 was just about to invite him in.”

Jean’s hint gave Sienna a chance to recover. She nodded slowly. “I see…”

She turned to Easton, her expression softening. There was a careful tenderness in her voice. “Easton, it’s been a long time. Just come in and sit for a while.”

Her smile was polite and unfamiliar, but the warmth in her eyes was genuine.

For Easton, the moment felt surreal.

If it hadn’t been for Jean, I probably wouldn’t have come back at all. I wouldn’t have come face–to–face with Mom again.

He pursed his lips and paused for a few seconds.

Sienna’s eyes went wide with joy. She clasped her hands, nervous and excited at the same time

Just like that, Easton stepped back into the Ginger mansion.

Jean entered the living room and looked around but didn’t see Mather anywhere,

She turned to Sienna with a confused look on her face. “Mom, where’s Mat… Emean, where’s Dad?”

At the mention of Matheo, Sienna couldn’t help the flash of amusement that crossed her heart, though she didn’t show it on her face. She replied calmly. “He had to go out.”

In truth, Matheo had gone to apologize to the director

I like many others online, had been watching the “Behind the Spotlight livestream.

Til expected to see two familiar faces on the show, Easton and Jean,

What I hadn’t expected was the appearance of a third, Matheo’s illegitimate daughter, Julia,

I quickly investigated hore Julia had ended up on the show. Just as I’d suspected, Matheo had pulled strings through his connections to get her on
