“You can pray for her and think about her in your heart for now. You can visit her once you’ve recovered from your injuries,” Soren said, his gaze fixed steadily on mine.
He then added, “I’ll go with you.”
“You will?” I was startled at first, then realized what he meant.
He wanted to meet my family already…
But I hadn’t officially agreed to be with him yet!
Caught off guard, I quickly changed the subject. “Let’s see then. You may not even be free when I’ve recovered.”
Soren smiled but didn’t press the issue, clearly seeing through my attempt to dodge the topic.
By the time we finished with the treatment, it was nearly 1:00 p.m.
When we got back to the car, Soren said, “I know it’s inconvenient for you to move around so much, so we won’t be eating out. I’ve already ordered food, and it’s being delivered straight to your place.”
He always thought of everything, down to the smallest detail.
Anyone who spent time with him would feel deeply respected and completely at ease.
When we arrived at my apartment, Soren followed me upstairs.
The moment we stepped out of the elevator, I saw my aunt and grandmother standing in the hallway!
Hearing the elevator chime, my aunt turned, her face lighting up with a relieved smile. “Tay–Tay, you’re back! I knew we got the right place.”
My aunt had visited once since I moved into this apartment but my grandmother had never been here before. “Grandma, Aunt Sarah! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” I asked, surprised, limping forward.

brush us off and insist you were fine if we told you in advance.”
I couldn’t help but smile helplessly. It was hard to argue with that.
grandmother said you’d definitely
My grandmother studied me anxiously. “Where did you hurt yourself? You can’t even walk properly… What did the doctor say?”
“It’s nothing, Grandma, really… Just a minor injury. I’ll be fine in a few days,” I said, downplaying it to keep her from worrying.
We stayed in the hallway, continuing to talk, until Soren gently interjected, “Let’s head inside and sit down. You shouldn’t be standing for too long, and your family probably needs to rest too.”
My grandmother and aunt turned to him, their expressions curious.
“And you are?” my grandmother asked, her voice a mix of hesitation and interest.
My heart tightened. I remembered how they had disapproved of my relationship with Soren in the past.
I felt a bit lost, but I knew I had to introduce him sooner or later.

“Grandma, Aunt Sarah, this is Soren Kenway. He’s the one who loaned me the money at the auction so I could bid on the bracelet.”
I hesitated, then added, “He’s also the one who arranged for the specialists to see you when you were ill, Grandma.
I stood beside Soren, subtly raising my hand to introduce him.
“Soren, this is my Grandma Edna, and that’s Aunt Sarah…” I trailed off, glancing at him.
His presence alone exuded an unmistakable aura of privilege.
My grandmother and aunt had met their fair share of the rich and famous, but even they seemed momentarily reserved around him.
“So, you’re Mr. Kenway. Tay–Tay’s told us about you and how much you’ve helped her. We really appreciate it.” Soren gave a polite nod. “There’s no need to thank me.”
While they exchanged pleasantries, I stepped forward to unlock the door and gestured for everyone to come in. ” Let’s talk inside.”
Soren lingered behind.
After my grandmother and aunt entered the living room, he turned to me and whispered, “You should spend time with them. I’ll leave now.”
My emotions churned.
I knew I should ask him to stay, especially since he hadn’t even had lunch yet. I’d feel ungrateful sending him away like this.
But my instincts told me to avoid having him face my grandmother and aunt. They didn’t approve of my relationship with him.
I hated how hesitant I felt, but I just couldn’t bring myself to openly acknowledge my feelings for him–or admit that I had fallen for him.
