207 Ready With Deth Par/1
Reiched
Jason stepped ahead, pulling open the car door with one hand while the other rested protectively on the roof. His thoughtful and gentlemanly behavior made Evalyn click her tongue in silent disapproval.
“Thank you, Jason, Seraphina said politely, her voice soft yet sincere.
Jason’s lips curved into a faint smile. “No need to thank me.”
Evalyn, never one to hold back, interjected with a teasing grin, “Thanks, Uncle Drakon.”
Jason responded with a neutral hum before settling into the driver’s seat. Without another word, he started the car and personally drove them to school.
As soon as Jason left, Evalyn turned to Seraphina with a mischievous smile, her face practically glowing with curiosity. “Come on, spill it, Sera! What were you up to last night? Don’t tell me you were with my uncle?”
“You’re overthinking things!” Seraphina replied, her tone defensive, though a slight blush betrayed her composure.
Evalyn didn’t look convinced.
Seraphina, catching Evalyn’s suggestive expression, sighed in exasperation. She raised a hand and flicked her lightly on the forehead. “Get those ridiculous thoughts out of your head already!”
Evalyn pouted, covering her forehead like a child. “Ow! Why are you and my uncle both so fond of flicking my forehead? You must’ve picked up the habit from him!”
To avoid dragging things out, Seraphina took the afternoon off and met up with Oliver directly.
When he saw her safe and sound, he let out a long breath of relief. The tension in his chest finally eased.
“Yesterday was way too close!” he exclaimed, his voice still tinged with lingering fear. “I was scared out of my mind last night. Thank God you were quick–witted enough to get out of there. If anything had happened to you, I don’t think I could ever forgive myself.
He was scared when he thought of what happened last night.
If it weren’t for receiving her message later confirming she was safe, he probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep a wink all night.
Now, seeing her standing there, unharmed and in front of him, the heavy weight he had been carrying lifted.

“Did you find the USB drive?” he asked urgently.

Seraphina reached into her bag and pulled out the small device. The moment his eyes landed on it, his expression transformed. His gaze lit up with intensity, and his face filled with a mixture of exhilaration and relief.
