“Amy’s biological dad? Wasn’t that Howard?”

Amy was Keera’s child with Howard.

Keira blinked, confused, and said, “I’ll head over now.”

Hanging up, she turned to Lewis, who immediately sensed something was up. “What’s going on?”

“Someone’s here saying he’s Amy’s biological father. I have no idea who… but I need to find out.”

“I’m coming with you.”

Keira nodded, and as the two were about to head out, Erin suddenly popped up at the door, holding her drumstick and pistachios. “I’m coming too!”

Once they were in the car, Erin peered over at Lewis with curiosity. “Mr. Horton, don’t you have a job? Doesn’t Horton Group, you know, need you?”

Lewis kept his eyes on the road, his tone calm. “Why? Do you have an issue with that, Ms. Martin?”

“No, no issues, just a thought! You know, if someone didn’t know better, they might think Horton Group went under, with you hanging around like this,” she muttered, then leaned toward Keira in the passenger seat. “Keira, just saying, you gotta find a man with some ambition, right? You want someone who’ll make money and take care of you. Don’t want to be stuck supporting him, right?”

Keira gave her a warning look. “Zip it.”

“Fine, fine.”

Erin sat back in the rear seat, busy cracking pistachios, munching happily.

Keira glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Erin was such a wild card, fearless but oddly obedient when Keira told her off, like she was compelled to listen.

Then Keira looked over at Lewis. She knew why he stuck so close—it was a reminder of that incident back in Oceanion, when she’d narrowly escaped a dangerous setup. Now, with everything so precarious, he was even less likely to leave her side.

Soon, they arrived at the Olsen family home.

They stepped out of the car and found Ellis and Mary standing near the doorway, looking somewhat uneasy.

Although they’d likely guessed at Keira’s true identity, this visitor complicated things. If he was indeed Amy’s father… then that meant he’d been Keera’s partner. The situation felt awkward, to say the least.

Keira nodded at them both, then stepped into the living room.

Barely a second passed before a wave of gardenia perfume hit her, and suddenly, a man had wrapped her tightly in his arms.

Keira froze in place. Recovering, she quickly pushed the man away.

“Keera, I finally found you…”

There was a note of sadness in his voice that seemed to twist her heart unexpectedly.

She took a closer look at him, and what she saw left her momentarily stunned. His face was strikingly beautiful—almost too flawless to be real. It was a kind of beauty that blurred the line between masculine and feminine. One look at him, and you’d think he stepped straight out of a magazine.

Keira and Lewis were both very attractive people, but even they paled in comparison to this stranger’s ethereal appearance.

Lewis had that rugged, masculine appeal. Keira’s beauty was bold and striking, with none of the reserve typical of Creran women.

But this man? His features were exquisitely fine, without a single flaw. He wore a fitted black suit, but he was so thin that it didn’t quite sit right on him.

The black suit only made his porcelain-pale skin stand out more.

He wasn’t sporting the usual short cut; his bangs partly obscured his eyes, and his hair was styled in a loose mullet, giving him a bit of an exotic look.

He was almost ghostly pale, his complexion almost sickly, which, along with his slight frame, made him look like a man who could be pushed over with just a nudge.

In fact, Keira had barely pushed him, and he staggered back a bit, clearly delicate.

But then…

Why was he looking at her with that wounded, reproachful expression, as if she’d done something unforgivable?

Keira stared, momentarily at a loss.

She wanted to ask who he was, but then she remembered she was supposed to be Keera. Judging by his reaction, he knew her, or thought he did.

Before she could decide how to respond, Lewis had already stepped in beside her. “And who might you be? Isn’t Keera going to introduce us?”

Keira blinked, understanding that Lewis was buying her time to figure things out, so she stayed quiet.

Sure enough, the man hesitated, then finally spoke. “I’m her boyfriend. She may not have mentioned me, but my name’s Sean South Church.”

Keira and Lewis both froze.

Lewis frowned. “Sean South Church?”

“Yes. Church is my last name. I chose South as my middle name after meeting Keera. I wanted something to suit her culture.”

He looked at her with an almost heart-wrenching intensity. “Keera, I’ve been looking for you for so long. Do you like my new name?”
