Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 402: A Different Feeling

Every tTina was with lan, she felt a warmth. This warmth was different from when she was with Hugo. Hugo

treated her well because of his mother, loving her as an extension of his affection for his mother, and Jennie did

the same. Though their kindness was born out of association, it was sincere. However, the warmth with lan felt

innate. Especially when lan looked at her, there was no difference in how he looked at Kiki and Mimi.

Tina had a long conversation with lan in the hospital room while Scarlett brought out many snacks, caring for

them like children. At the end, Tina bid farewell, "I'll cto see you again. It's going to get cooler in a few days,

wear more, don't wear such thin shirts." lan nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I'll buy swarm clothes

tomorrow, and dress warmly." Scarlett sighed at the side, "Just listen to Tina, I've told you before to wear more,

but you never listen." They all laughed, and Tina got up to leave.

After she left, lan's smile gradually stiffened, mixed with a hint of reluctance. "Is everything collected?" lan

asked. Scarlett nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, I've already collected the cup Tina used. I'll hand it over to Jack

tonight to personally oversee the paternity test." lan sighed silently and sat down, continuing to play with his

granddaughters.

Meanwhile, Tina returned to the Reed family. She pushed open the door, a cold breeze hit her, and she wrapped

her coat tighter, about to return to her room when she encountered Muff. "Muff," Tina greeted him lightly. Muff

responded, his eyes hesitating as he looked at Tina. Tina noticed, "Is something the matter?" After a moment of

silence, Muff asked, "Do you know where your father is?" Tina laughed, her gaze cold as she glanced at Muff,

"You don't know?" "I don't know, I'm a bit worried, can you ask Jared to look for him? I'm afraid he's in danger."

Muff's eyes drooped, obscuring his thoughts. "Okay, if Muff needs it," Tina chuckled, then returned to her room.

Muff watched Tina's room door for a long time. Soon after, he moved and walked out of Whispering Pines.

Tina stood by her bedroom window, watching as Muff's car slowly drove away, her lips curling into a faint, elusive

smile. Muff's car arrived at an apartment. As he opened the door, a strong smell of blood greeted him. "Are you

alright?" Muff stepped forward, examining his wound. Jasper sat on the sofa, the table in front of him laid out

with various medical supplies. After escaping from Jared's men, he had been hiding under Muff's arrangement,

avoiding all surveillance by the X bureau and returned to the apartment. This place was only known to him and

Muff, making it the most secretive location. Jasper's lips were pale; the gunshot from Tina had nearly crippled his

hand, and as he fled, Jared's bullets had hit him, injuring him in multiple places. Moreover, the wounds had

almost becinfected after escaping through the sea. If not for Muff, he would have either died at sea or from

the infections. He coldly responded to Muff, "I'm not dead yet, to your disappointment." Muff, accustomed to

Jasper's attitude, showed no surprise, "Jared and Tina weren't led there by me."

"I know."

Jasper impatiently interrupted Muff, "What brings you here exactly?"

Muff pursed his lips, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seeming to tremble slightly, "I cto see you."

"Having seen me, you can leave now. Don't cover if there's nothing important, it would be even more

troublesif Tina and Jared find out."

Jasper clearly did not want to continue the conversation with Muff. After changing his medication, he returned to

his bedroom.

Muff listened to the resounding slam of the door, his gaze gradually dimming.

Whispering Pines.

Just as Tina was preparing to take a bath and get a good night's sleep, she received an unexpected phone call.

It was Elsa.

"Tina, let's go out for a meal. Mom and Dad are here too, do you have time?"

After Jasper's identity was exposed, Hugo and Jennie had stopped living in Jared's apartment and bought their

own place.

Previously, Jared had been handling the affairs of their newly established company, but now that the troubles

were over, Hugo was ready to manage the business himself.

Tina stood by the window, her pale, delicate fingers reaching towards the cactus on the windowsill, gently

tapping it as she spoke unhurriedly, "Sure, which restaurant? I'll head over now."

"It's just below Dad's company building, a hotpot restaurant called 'Let's Have Hotpot.' Invite your brother-in-law

too; it'll be lively with the whole family there," Elsa said.

"I'll give him a call." Tina moved her hand away from the cactus, her gaze shifting outside the window, her lips

curving slightly, a vague light shimmering in her eyes.

After hanging up, Tina sent Jared a text to see if he was available.

Jared didn't reply to the message, and Tina thought he wouldn't come. Just as she was about to change and go

by herself, Jared's car pulled up downstairs. Tina: He's really eager.

Jared: When the wife calls for dinner, only a fool wouldn't be eager.

Tina cdownstairs, her hair tips still damp. "You're quite early?"

"Afraid you'd be hungry." Jared touched Tina's hair, his brows slightly furrowed, "Nathan, turn on the heater."

Tina, "..."

Although it was nearly autumn, it wasn't that cold yet!

Soon, Nathan parked the car outside the hotpot restaurant.

As Jared helped Tina out of the car, she noticed that he had prepared many gifts.

"Do we need to be this formal?" Tina laughed.

Jared nodded, "They're your family, | have to take it seriously."

Hugo was Tina's family, and since she valued them, he naturally did too.

Inside the private room, Hugo's family was all present. Zackary, seeing Tina, bounced over.

Tina lifted him up, "Have you gained weight?"

Zackary blushed slightly, "Elsa said I'm growing, and | haven't gained much, really."

Tina pinched Zackary's cheek, his little face had rounded out, yet he hadn't gained much?

However, this also showed that Hugo's family was living a prosperous life recently.

Jared set down the gifts, "Dad, Mom."

Hugo and Jennie, still not quite used to being called mom and dad by Jared, were nonetheless able to accept it.

"Ah, have a seat, have a seat," Hugo urged, his eyes inevitably drawn to Tina.

How had she gotten so thin in just a few days?

Jennie also thought that Tina looked much thinner than before, quickly telling Zackary to cdown, "Come

down, | can hardly carry you anymore."
