Chapter 458

“Nathan will be fine,” Yannis said, gently ruffling Zinnia’s hair as he met the worry in her eyes. With Jackson in Mealinia, of course Nathan would be fine.

“Yannis, to be honest, I’m really worried about Nathan,” Zinnia murmured, her head lowered as she nervously. fidgeted with the card in her hands.

She continued, her voice trembling with concern, “Nathan has never left me behind before. If he did this time, something must have happened. He hasn’t contacted me at all. I’m afraid something terrible might have happened to him.”

Yannis gently pinched Zinnia’s check, a soft smile on his lips. “Zinnia, trust him. Didn’t he promise to come back? He’ll definitely return.”

Zinnia was certain Nathan would return safe and sound. She knew he couldn’t bear to leave her behind- maybe he was even making preparations to come back for her right now.

On the weekend, Zinnia and Yannis went out together. Once Lydia agreed to see Benny, Yannis arranged for a paternity test. The results confirmed that Benny was indeed Lydia’s father. After that, they booked a restaurant so Lydia and Benny could meet and talk over dinner.

“Yannis, is that man back yet?” Zinnia asked

“I’ve already sent Toby to pick him up,” Yannis said, walking beside her.

“Yannis, what do you think their reunion will be like?” Zinnia skipped ahead a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him.

‘After over a decade apart, what will Lydia’s reunion with her father be like?‘ Zinnia wondered. Her own meeting with the Shaw family after all those years had been anything but pleasant.

“Let’s just wait and see,” Yannis replied calmly.

As they talked, they reached the door of the private room.

Inside the private room, Lydia had arrived early; Bonnie hadn’t come. Lydia had agreed to meet Benny mainly to see what kind of person he was.

She knew she could fully support herself and her mother–she wanted nothing from him. All she really wanted was the truth about the past, to know whether her mother had loved the wrong person.

Zinnia and Yannis entered the private room to find Lydia standing by the window, her gaze distant.
