Zinnia fell silent.

“Is that so?” Yannis’s voice was slightly hoarse. Her silence spoke volumes. He knew he could never measure up to Nathan. Whenever something happened, Zinnia’s first instinct was always to turn to Nathan.

Yannis had never expected to surpass Nathan. If he could do that so easily, that would be the real problem. All he wanted was for Zinnia not to hide things from him, to know she could always turn to him when she needed to.

Now that Nathan wasn’t around, he hoped he could be the one she truly trusted and relied on.

Zinnia sensed something was off about Yannis. “Are you okay?” she asked, concern in her eyes.

Yannis met her worried gaze, and for a fleeting moment, his usually controlled emotions surged unexpectedly, like being struck over the head. He froze, thinking, ‘Why am I suddenly so emotionally

unstable?‘

He recalled the phone call from Jackson half an hour ago. After a long silence, Jackson finally spoke, “The person behind MZ Group… is most likely Nathan.”

Jackson couldn’t meet Nathan anytime soon. Nathan kept refusing to see him, and it seemed Jackson wouldn’t be able to come back for a while. But from what Jackson had gathered, the person behind MZ Group was expected to return to the country once before the New Year.

With just over two months until the New Year, the time felt far too short for Yannis. He was certain that once Nathan returned, Zinnia would surely leave his side.

Once Nathan returned to her side, Yannis was afraid that Zinnia would forget him completely. Just thinking about that possibility made his chest tighten. That was why, as the conversation shifted to this topic, he found himself getting unusually serious.

Yannis hoped that she would think of him too, whether it was something big or small, and that she wouldn’t keep things from him just because she thought they weren’t important. Above all, he wanted her to turn to him whenever she faced difficulties.

“Sorry, Zinnia. I lost control just now.” Yannis took a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil in his chest as his expression gradually softened.

“Yannis, are you okay?” Zinnia asked, her eyes filled with concern.

what really troubled him was the meaning behind it. If she wouldn’t even tell him about something so small, she would not come to him if something truly important
