A flicker of guilt flashed through Trent’s eyes. Back then, he had nothing. Sidonic had no reason to pretend she saved him, especially when there was nothing to gain.

It has to be Quinn. She must’ve figured it out somehow and said it just to get under my skin.

“Sidonie, I believe you,” he said slowly, meeting her gaze. “To me, you’re the one who saved my life. You’re the only one.”

His voice was firm. He had to stop doubting her. If he kept this up, he’d only end up breaking her heart.

Finally, Sidonie relaxed, a faint smile touching her lips. “Good. Then don’t start doubting me again. Next time, I might not forgive you so easily.”

“There won’t be a next time,” Trent promised.

But deep inside, unease still lingered. When Sidonie mentioned going with him to Yarburn to visit her mother’s relatives, it struck him. Yarburn was also where Quinn’s parents had come from.

Maybe I’ll run into Quinn there. When I do, I’m going to demand an explanation for her lying to me!

Julius and Quinn stepped off the plane together. She had originally booked a hotel room for herself, but Julius objected. “Since you’ve agreed to be my bodyguard for the next three months, it only makes sense that we live under the same roof.”

“I’m going to start arranging my parents‘ funeral tomorrow. It might not be very convenient for me to stay. with you, Mr. Whitethorn,” Quinn said.

“That’s all right. I told you before, I don’t need full–time protection. Just keep an eye on me when you’re free. It’s only three months, Ms. Bridger. You agreed to it, didn’t you?” Julius reminded her.

Quinn had, in fact, given her word to Dominic So in the end, she agreed. Three months would go by fast enough.

The driver who picked them up was local. Once they got into the car, Julius told him to head straight for a high–end restaurant in Yarburn. Seated in the back, Quinn looked out the window, quietly taking in the sights.

Yarburn’s charm was different from that of Jexburgh. There was something softer about it, something gentler, like a river town with calm greenery lining both sides of the road and clusters of low–rise buildings. It looked nothing like the place she remembered from her childhood. So much had changed..

Her memories of Yarburn were faint at best. She’d left with her parents while still in elementary school, settling in Jexburgh. Even though she had returned once in high school to honor their ancestors, that had been ages ago. Her parents had made several visits over the years, but between her studies and work, she’d always missed them.
