Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 645

Tara slipped out and headed next door to the private room. When she walked in and spotted the middle-aged man inside, her face lit up with genuine surprise.

"Uncle! What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Flynn, who was forty-five and always seemed to be smiling with his eyes, replied, "You're the busy one, Tara. I've tried calling, but you never pick up. You've changed so much since you went abroad. Honestly, you're even prettier than I remember."

Tara sat down beside him. This was her mom's only brother-her uncle. After her parents died when she was still a teenager, her mom's side of the family had grown distant from the Warrens. It made sense; her mom's relatives never really matched the Warren family's power, and after her mom passed, some of them tried to get close to the Warrens, but the family wanted nothing to do with that kind of thing. Other than raising Tara themselves, they'd cut off contact with her mom's relatives.

Back when her mom was alive, Flynn used to visit all the time, so he knew Tara and her dad pretty well. Over the years, his business had boomed, and he'd become a big deal in the city-but he didn't spend much time there, so people rarely saw him at family gatherings.
