‘When Yannis heard Neo’s rude insults, his face turned ice–cold with anger. He was really mad. Neo was going to pay a heavy price; Yannis has probably ruined him for good.‘

“Is Grace Yannis’s mom? She’s gone?” Zinnia asked hesitantly. She realized she had rarely heard anyone talk about Yannis’s past–only then did it hit her that no one had ever mentioned his mother before.

Maisie nodded. “Yeah. Yannis got his looks from her. Back then, Grace was the most beautiful woman in Jinston, good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. And she was a super–talented military doctor!”

Zinnia pictured Yannis’s face. He was already too handsome. She couldn’t even imagine how stunning his mother must have been.

‘I don’t really get why Maisie’s so worried about me, but I can feel she cares,‘ Zinnia thought, feeling warm and comforted.

Maisie sighed. “That day was Grace’s death anniversary. Yannis always gets emotional when it comes to her. I was worried he might accidentally hurt you.”

Turns out, her worries had been unnecessary–Yannis had been actually in a pretty good mood. Little did Maisie know he had gone home that night.

Originally, Jackson hadn’t planned to take Yannis home, but he had insisted stubbornly. Drunk, he had said, “There’s a kid at home. I’m worried she’ll be scared alone.”
