The airport hall bustled with people, yet the VIP passage remained eerily quiet, except for two striking figures standing in silence.

Zinnia’s gaze locked onto the man ahead–the one on the right, dressed in a black coat, who was rolling his suitcase with one hand. A white mask covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of clear eyes visible.

The long black coat framed his tall figure perfectly. Under the lights, his silhouette was elegant and poised, radiating quiet confidence. It was as if the noise around him didn’t exist.

Zinnia thought, ‘Well, some people just steal the spotlight no matter where they go.

Their eyes met, and the cold, distant look in his gaze softened. A gentle warmth was quietly blooming there.

Zinnia froze in her tracks. She tightened her grip on the bouquets in her arms, almost without realizing it.

Zinnia stood frozen as Nathan, from a distance, walked toward her slowly. Suddenly, her eyes stung with unshed tears, and she pressed her lips tightly together, fighting back the overwhelming excitement in her chest.

He stopped in front of her, the familiar scent of tangerine enveloping her, and then she was pulled into a warm embrace. “Zinnia,” Nathan murmured, sighing softly.

Zinnia didn’t say a word. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she buried her face in Nathan’s embrace.

Her muffled sobs sent a sharp pain through the hearts of the three men. Yannis’s fingers twitched slightly. He wanted to comfort Zinnia, but he knew right now she needed Nathan more than anyone else.

Nathan gently stroked Zinnia’s back without a word, offering her silent comfort.

After crying for a few minutes, Zinnia sniffled and pulled away from Nathan’s embrace. Carefully retrieving the bouquet she had been shielding in her arms, she held it out to him. “It’s for you.”

Nathan looked down at the little girl holding a bouquet, her eyes full of hope. There was still a trace of tears in her eyes.

Zinnia wore a white puffer jacket over a pink sweater and a plaid skirt. Tears still stained her bright face, making her look heartbreakingly vulnerable.

Nathan smiled as he gazed at the flowers. He gently rubbed Zinnia’s hair and said, “Thank you, Zinnia. You’ve grown up a lot.” He noticed the flowers she gave him were roses–his favorite.

Zinnia pouted and said, “Well, you missed out on a lot of fun stuff while I was growing up.”
