After saying goodbye to Carl, Jean headed straight for the Ginger family villa.

The moment Sienna got word from the gatekeeper, she rushed to the door to greet her.

Her beautiful face was softened by a warm, subtle smile, and she immediately began fussing over Jean with questions and concern.

Then, with a teasing glint in her eyes, Sienna chuckled softly. “I really didn’t expect the two of you to end up spending time together.”

“Mm?” Jean frowned slightly, confused by what she meant.

Sienna’s eyes sparkled with a gentle curiosity. “You and Carl, of course. That boy has barely had any contact with us for years now.” Her smile faded slightly as she continued, lips pressing into a thin line. “Even when Yuhan’s plane crash happened, I had to practically beg him before he’d show up. So yes, I’m a little surprised,” she said, patting Jean’s shoulder affectionately. “The two of you suddenly having some kind of connection. He even called me a few days ago to say you were with him. But he didn’t say what you were doing over there…”

Sienna tilted her head and gave Jean a lighthearted, questioning look. “So… what exactly were you two up to?”

Her tone was casual, like she was just making conversation.

Jean blinked, then fell quiet for a beat. She quickly pieced together a plausible explanation. “He was… tutoring me.”

“Tutoring?” Sienna blinked, visibly surprised.

“Yep.” Jean nodded with a smile. “You know our school’s got level placement exams coming up. I’ve missed a lot of classes from taking so much time off. I’m completely lost and have no idea how I’m going to handle the tests. The Secret Service HQ has a lot of books and resources, and Carl’s smart.. He offered to help me study, so I went with him.”

She rattled off the story smoothly, without blinking.

Sienna looked a bit taken aback but didn’t question it further. She just smiled knowingly. “Well, I never thought I’d see the day. Jean, I didn’t realize you were taking the exam this seriously.”

Honestly, in Sienna’s mind, even if her daughter failed the test, it wasn’t a big deal.

But the most unbelievable part?

Carl offered to tutor Jean?

That was bordering on fantasy.
