Chapter 1013: The Peachwood Bracelet

The confidence emanating from the Brookes family was so overwhelming that even Jared dared not say much in response.

Tina quickly grabbed Ian's arm, fearing he might deploy all the manpower of the Brookes family to protect her. "Grandpa, I'm fine. There's no danger around me, and my health is perfectly good. I didn't mention anything because I didn't want to create unnecessary trouble at this critical time. It's not as complicated as you're imagining." Ian fell silent for a moment, his sharp gaze eventually locking onto Jared. His eyes carried a commanding pressure. "Is there really nothing wrong?"

Finally, Jared was able to speak. Taking a serious tone, he explained to Ian, "Grandpa, this was my fault. During the early stages of Tina's pregnancy, her emotions were a bit unstable. My master and I decided not to disclose it at the time, thinking it was best to avoid any unnecessary issues. I never expected it would cause such a

misunderstanding with you."

Hearing this, the tension in Ian's demeanor dissipated. He waved his hand dismissively, unconcerned. "We're family. There's no need to be so formal about these things."

"You did the right thing. Considering Tina's identity, it's better to be cautious about such major matters."

With the explanation laid out, Ian finally felt at ease. His worried heart settled back into place.

Looking at Tina, whose face was slightly pale, he spoke with concern, "If you don't want to share this now, Grandpa will pretend he doesn't know. No one will say a word-not even your uncles. When you're ready to talk about it, you can tell them yourself."

Tina exchanged a glance with Jared, her lips curling into a small smile. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Ian's face softened into a smile as well. He nodded and stood up to leave. With this young man from the Farrell family by his granddaughter's side, there was nothing for him to worry about.

At dinner, Ian addressed everyone present, making it clear, "Tina is perfectly fine. Go about your business as usual."

The group nodded in agreement. Their love for Tina was no less than Ian's. As long as she was safe and well, they wouldn't interfere unnecessarily. Besides, Ian had spoken, and they had to listen.

Before leaving, Tina went to bid farewell to Master Tam.

As soon as she entered the backyard, she encountered a group of brothers standing in a line, blocking the way like a wall.

Jared walked over, immediately feeling like he was being scanned by X-ray vision. Their piercing gazes were fixed on the arm he had wrapped around Tina's waist. Understanding their meaning, he tightened his grip, pulling Tina closer into his embrace.
