Chapter 102: For You, There's Never a Deadline

She and Tina both tactfully refrained from mentioning the previous topic.

Some things, when spoken about too much and too deeply, can only hurt their affection for each other.

In the end, they took the two children out for a late-night snack.

Orchid originally thought that since she was the one who invited them out, she should be the one to send Tina and Zackary back.

But Jared offered to send them instead, and Orchid naturally went along with it to give the young couple more time together, and went back by herself.

Before leaving, she told Tina, "I and Hugo have decided we will have a lunch tomorrow with Jennie and Zackary."

"I understand, Aunt Orchid. Drive safe," Tina nodded.

By the time they returned to Pinkwater Ally, the two children, tired from playing, had already fallen asleep leaning against each other.

Tina had just gotten out of the car carrying Zackary when Jared took the child from her arms.

"I'll go up with you," Jared said gently.

Tina nodded slightly. After the space beside Sophia in the back seat of the car was empty, losing her support, she immediately fell asleep on the seat, still mumbling, "Jared... You let go me..." Tina smiled faintly and reached out to stroke her head, closing the car door for her.

It was almost ten o'clock, and Pinkwater Ally was very quiet. There were only the three of them in the elevator.

They were silent all the way, but when they got out of the elevator, Jared suddenly spoke up, "What do you want me to promise you?"

"Admitting your defeat so early?" Tina raised her willow eyebrows slightly, but wasn't very surprised.

"I said I'd let you win." He stood beside her, the corridor lights casting sideways, his tall shadow falling on her, covering her entire body. "Tina, in this world, you're the first person I'm willing to admit defeat to."

And the only one, he added in his heart.
