Chapter 887: Daughter, Be Careful With Jared

Jared held Tina by the waist as they walked slowly behind Alina and Ruud. Watching the couple ahead of them, so close and affectionate, Jared felt a subtle itch creeping into his heart.

As they continued walking, Jared's broad hand suddenly tightened around Tina's waist, stopping her in her tracks. She turned her head to look at him, her cool and delicate face tinged with confusion. Her eyes, however, remained gentle, and her soft lips parted slightly.

"Uncle, why did you stop?" she asked.

Jared pulled her wrist and led her to stand beneath a cluster of white vines. The moonlight illuminated his handsome face, casting shadows that deepened the huskiness in his voice.

"Are you staying at the Pace family's house tonight?" he asked.

Tina had been staying with the Pace family for the past few days after reconnecting with them. It had been days since she last shared a room with her Uncle. Staring at Jared's strikingly handsome features, she licked her lips. "Why don't I just stay at your villa instead?" she suggested.

Desire flickered in Jared's eyes as he stepped closer to her, pinning her gently against the white stone wall.

"No," he said firmly. "You're at the Pace family's house now. There are always eyes watching you."

Jared knew Tina's fearless nature. She wouldn't hesitate to leave openly if she wanted to. But she had just arrived at the Pace family's house, and there were bound to be people with impure intentions watching her, especially Boris Pace. Tina squinted, catching his meaning. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, followed by a sudden mischievous smile.

"Good," she said. "Let him watch. I'm only afraid he's not watching closely enough."

Jared chuckled softly, his laughter indulgent. "You're scheming again."

Tina raised an eyebrow, her gaze gleaming with amusement. "How could someone as kind as me ever scheme against anyone?"

Jared reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose. "Right. You're the kindest of all."

Then, he cupped the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Their tongues intertwined, the heat of the moment enveloping them completely.

When the kiss ended, Jared rested his forehead against hers. Her cheeks were flushed, and his heart softened at the sight.
