Chapter 162: He Could Have No Secrets from Her

When Jared Farrell opened his eyes, dawn was breaking over the balcony. He sat up and saw Tina still sitting quietly in front of the sliding glass door, staring at the mini computer in her hand. The morning light streamed through the door, casting a gentle halo around her. She had been looking at the character "Wolf" on the screen for a long time before she slowly lifted her gaze to meet Jared's complex look from the bed. Cole Lyon had found out that after her mother's incident, the new team leader who took over her mother's team was codenamed "Wolf." So, was Jared Farrell "Wolf"? Were he and her mother colleagues?

"Tina, what's wrong?" The morning light also fell on Jared Farrell's well-shaped brows and eyes, softening his smile.

Tina was silent for a moment before turning her mini computer towards him. "Who are you really?" She asked, seeing the black screen and the bright red "Wolf" character on it.

Jared Farrell was not surprised. He had known from the start that Tina's stay at his house was not to take care of his injuries or for romantic reasons; she was investigating him. So, he had been waiting. Waiting for her to uncover everything herself. He never locked his door at night, deliberately set his phone password to her birthday, and knew about every search she conducted in his house, yet he pretended not to notice. He could now confirm who she was. He could have no secrets from her.

"Serene."

Suddenly, Tina's expression froze. When she looked up at him, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a deadly seriousness. "Serene" - that was her nickname, used only by her mother. No one else knew this name, not even Hugo. Because "Serene" was what she had insisted her mother call her after they escaped a deadly pursuit, reminding her to stay calm and controlled. But how did Jared Farrell know this name?

In that moment, the usually composed Tina felt a surge of murderous intent.

Jared Farrell felt the chill emanating from her, his lips slightly parted as he finally managed to squeeze out a few words, "You don't remember me, do you?"

Tina's eyebrows, shaped like willow leaves, were tightly knotted. She reevaluated Jared from head to toe, and mentally reviewed every person she had met. She was certain that she had never seen him before they met. "Explain yourself," she said sternly.

Jared touched her head gently, his voice soft and tender, "Serene, I'll buy you a strawberry cake every year from now on."
