At that moment, Ethan found himself recalling a pair of eyes filled with anger and resentment. The memory struck him vividly–he had seen them that day when he went to pick up Lily after her interview. She had been standing with a strikingly handsome man.

Could that man be him? Could he really be his Pedro?

The thought unsettled Ethan. It was possible that the man simply shared the same name as his old friend. But then again, what if it truly was him? Ethan couldn’t be certain. He regretted not stepping out of the car that day, not seizing the opportunity to meet the man face–to–face. Maybe then, he could have found some clue to confirm his suspicions.

Everything about the stranger–the way he carried himself, his commanding posture, and the confidence with which he stood–reminded Ethan of the Pedro he used to know. Yet, doubt lingered. What if it wasn’t

him at all?

Lost in his thoughts, Ethan didn’t notice Lily calling out to him until she shook his arm gently.

“Ethan? What’s on your mind? You’ve been so quiet,” she said, her voice tinged with concern.

“Huh?” He blinked, startled out of his reverie. “Oh, it’s nothing. Just thinking about this Pedro guy.”

Lily tilted her head curiously. “What about him?”

Ethan forced a small smile, masking his turmoil. “Just wondering how wealthy he must be to send you such an extravagant gift.”

He chose not to share the real thoughts swirling in his mind. It wasn’t that he wanted to keep secrets from her, but before he said anything, he needed to be sure. If this man was indeed his Pedro, there was more to
