Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Damian immediately handed the phone to Liliosa Reed as if it were a bomb, not wanting to hold it for even a second longer. Liliosa Reed, puzzled, took the phone and was immediately deafened by Grandpa Reed’s furious roar. “Are you out of your mind? If you have nothing better to do, stay at your own home. If you dare to trouble Tina again and make Logan come after me, don’t ever step foot in the Reed family home again!”

Liliosa Reed’s face turned livid with anger, but she didn’t dare confront Grandpa Reed directly. She could only apologize and hang up the phone.

On the third floor, Jared was placed in the room next to Tina’s. After entering his room alone, Esther and Audrey Woodwind accompanied Tina into hers. However, they sensibly left after a few words, closing the door behind them.

Audrey Woodwind poked her head back in just as she was leaving and said thoughtfully, “Tina, don’t worry. We all know you dislike the previous Tina who impersonated you. Although this room was once hers, everything inside has been replaced. Take your time to settle in.”

After speaking, she withdrew her head and glanced subtly at Jared’s door before heading downstairs with Esther.

Did Tina live here before?

Tina stood alone in the room, surveying her surroundings. The arrangement of the room clearly showed Jasper Reed’s care for his long-lost daughter. The room was spacious and bright; all the furniture and bedding were obviously new. The balcony was filled with fresh flowers, and the vanity table was stocked with skincare products from various brands as if he didn’t know which one she preferred.

The wardrobe was packed with high-end seasonal women’s clothing, including underwear of various sizes, as if unsure of her exact measurements.

Tina looked at the array of delicate dresses in the wardrobe with an indifferent expression on her fair face. She picked out the simplest dress and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was spacious with a massage bathtub. Considering she had plenty of time, Tina filled the tub with water and soaked in it while texting Jin Yi to have her luggage sent to the Reed family home.

Just then, a message from Jared popped up on her phone: “Done bathing?”

Tina raised an eyebrow and replied, “No.”

Jared: “No? How can you reply so quickly?”

Tina: “I’m soaking.”

Jared: “Together?”

Tina: “?”

What did he mean?

She stared intently at the bathroom door, contemplating whether to beat him up if he dared to come in.

A moment later, Jared messaged again: “I’m also in a bathtub now.”

Tina: “…”

She had overthought it!

But there was still a part of her that anticipated…

Anticipated beating him up!

Jared messaged again: “How long will you stay at the Reed family home?”

Tina: “I don’t know.”

Jared: “If you’re unhappy here, why not come back to the Farrell family with me?”

Tina: “Not for now.”

Jared looked at Tina’s last message on his phone and felt troubled. Unable to coax Tina back to the Farrell family home meant he might have to stay long-term at the Reed family home. On second thought, it didn’t seem impossible.

He then messaged Nathan Lehman to send his luggage over and texted Tina again: “Tina, my back hurts.”

Tina stared at her phone suspiciously but recalled how Jared had taken three hits from baseball bats on his back to protect her. She decided to check on him.

Seeing Tina’s message saying “I’m coming over,” Jared’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Good! His girl still cared about him.

He stood up from the bathtub and examined himself in the bathroom mirror. His messy hair was wet, and his skin was slightly flushed from the bath’s heat, exuding a certain allure. Satisfied with his appearance, he deliberately put on just a bathrobe.

When there was a knock on his door, he opened it and was stunned by the sight of Tina standing outside.

Tina wore a simple white strapless dress she had picked from the wardrobe. The dress hugged her figure perfectly at the waist and flared out slightly at the skirt. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, giving off an air of youthful romance despite her stern expression.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Jared had never seen Tina dressed so youthfully romantic before; even though she still wore a stern face, she appeared much softer.

Tina also paused for a moment when she saw Jared. He wore only a bathrobe that hung open at his chest, revealing well-defined muscles. Water droplets from his hair fell onto his flushed cheeks from the steam in the bathroom and trailed down his sharp jawline onto his chest before disappearing along his abs into his robe.

As Tina’s gaze uncontrollably followed that water droplet further downwards, Jared chuckled softly. “Tina, you’re so bold.”

Realizing what she had been doing, Tina blushed furiously and glared at him fiercely. He was clearly trying to seduce her by dressing like that-who was really being bold here?

With a stern face, she pushed him inside and shut the door behind them as if she were there not to check on his injuries but to settle accounts with him.

“Lie down on your stomach!” But her blushing cheeks betrayed her awkward mood.

Jared smiled as he obediently lay down on the bed but teased her nonetheless. “Tina, are you going to force yourself on me?”

“Shut up!” Tina grumbled as she walked over and pulled open Jared’s robe. Seeing half of his back covered in bruises made her frown deeply. “It’s swollen so badly; why didn’t you say something earlier?”

“It’s just surface wounds; as long as no bones are broken,” Jared replied nonchalantly.

Leading missions for X Bureau often involved life-and-death situations; getting injured was routine for him. Besides, these injuries were sustained while protecting Tina-he had no regrets.

Out of Jared’s sight, Tina’s gaze softened as it lingered on his bruised back.

After confirming that none of Jared’s ribs were broken, she began applying ointment to his wounds carefully massaging it into his skin for maximum effect.

Jared closed his eyes enjoying Tina’s warm hands slowly working across his back spreading ointment evenly while massaging gently suppressing any rising heat within himself.

Suddenly there came knocking followed by Audrey Woodwind’s voice from next door “Tina are you ready? It’s lunchtime.”

Wiping off excess ointment from her hands, Tina walked over opening door startling Audrey who had been knocking assuming it would be answered from next door instead finding herself facing Tina emerging from Jared’s room.
