Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 458: Discussing Cooperation with the Brookes Family

At the residence of the Brookes family, Jack returned and saw Scarlett pulling out several unopened bags from her wardrobe. Each one was a unique, limited edition handbag! "This one would suit Tina; a little girl her age would look perfect with this color," she remarked. "This one is also nice, versatile, goes well with any outfit." "This one isn't for everyday use, but since Tina will someday marry Jared, she'll definitely need it for the dinners she'll attend. This clutch would be just right."

Jack watched his wife carefully select each item and smiled indulgently, "That's enough for now, if not this time, then another." They were planning to have dinner with Tina tomorrow, and it was very important to Scarlett. She had been choosing the perfect gifts for days. "There will always be another time. We haven't seen Tina in so long, and just the other day, she even asked someone to deliver medicine to Kiki and Mimi. We're out of the hospital, and she still thinks of us; how can we not reciprocate?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes at Jack, then turned to see couple outfits hanging in the closet. She had stumbled upon them while shopping and bought them on a whim, though she had never worn them with Jack. Perfect, she thought, these would be a gift for Tina and Jared.

Ian, gripping his cane, frowned, "I still think that Farrell boy isn't worthy of Tina." Scarlett laughed and sighed, "Dad, why do you think he's not worthy? Jared is one of the rare capable and strategic young men at the precinct. If he weren't so young and lacking in experience, he would have been promoted to oversee operations by now."

Ian snorted, "Hmph, and Tina is any less? With her achievements at such a young age, which man is truly worthy of her?" Jack sighed softly, "Dad, you think there's hardly anyone worthy of Tina, don't you?" Ian nodded with satisfaction, "Exactly."

Scarlett shook her head in resignation, thankful that Tina wasn't their actual granddaughter; otherwise, the old man might have chased Jared away long ago. In her eyes, Jared and Tina were a perfect match, both in looks and capability. She had been silently supporting them on social media for a long time!

After some casual conversation, Ian called Jack outside. Once the room door closed, Ian asked, "How did it go?" Jack nodded, "I got it." These things could have been given at tomorrow's dinner, but there would be too many people. Just in case, he had asked Tina for them a day in advance. While it was expected, Ian was still somewhat surprised, "Tina wasn't upset?" Jack smiled, "No, she wasn't upset. She just told me to tell you that doing the paternity test over and over won't change much, and you shouldn't obsess over it."

Ian sighed, "I'm not obsessing, it's just that she feels too much like Alina used to be around me. Even though the results might not be what we hope, I still want to try." Jack understood his father's feelings, "I'll have the items sent back as soon as possible. Don't worry, Dad, I'll let you know the results immediately."
