"Thank

you."

Scott really didn't want to say those words. He didn't want to thank Nina, and he certainly didn't want to hear her wishing him well.

But what choice did he have?

This was the best ending they could hope for.

"I have a schedule to keep. Once I return, if there's a chance for us to work together, we can catch up," Nina said with a polite smile.

"Okay."

Scott watched her walk away. He felt his heart tighten with every step she took, until the pain became a monstrous beast, consuming him completely. As it turned out, some people were better off never meeting again.

Nina returned to Nash's side, where he had bought her a cup of milk tea. Not only that, he had also taken care of Orion and her father.

Orion got fries and fried chicken, while her father had a cup of tea. This time, Nash had brought Quincy along as well.

Quincy had never been to the Yaren Tribe, so it was a chance to see the place and stay up to date with business matters.

Quincy, being the workaholic he was, didn't stop working, even while waiting at the airport.

Pharaoh couldn't help but offer some advice. "I know you both love Orion, but you have to remember, his health isn't the best. He should really avoid fried foods."

"We know, Dad. This is just an occasional treat," Nash replied, careful about Orion's diet.

He had avoided giving Orion fried foods before, but they felt like they owed him so much. Plus, Orion's grandfather had been strict with him.

"Take your time eating, don't choke," Pharaoh gently reminded Orion as he carefully wiped the oil from his grandson's mouth.

This was what happiness looked like.

On the plane, Nina had a dream. In it, she saw a little girl holding a bouquet of roses, looking up at her with a sweet smile. "Can I go home with you?" the little girl asked.

The girl was adorable, like a delicate porcelain doll. But just as Nina reached out her hand, the dream abruptly ended, leaving her with a strange sense that it wasn't just a random dream. It felt like destiny.

If she were to have another child, and it happened to be a girl, then they would have the perfect pair, a son and a daughter.

But she had her concerns. When Orion was born, he had been taken straight to Dominic's care, and she hadn't been part of his early years. If she had another child now, her attention would naturally shift to this new baby. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Nash asked, noticing how unsettled Nina seemed after waking up.

Nina bit her lip and shared her thoughts with Nash.

He pulled her into his arms, reassuring her, "It's okay. Whatever happens, we'll take it as it comes. Even if you focus more on another child, Orion still has me, his grandfather, and his uncle."

It made sense. Orion was already the family's darling. But still, nothing could replace a mother's love.

Nina shook her head. "I'm not ready for another baby yet. I want to wait until Orion is completely healthy."

"Of course. Even if we never have another child, that's fine."

Although they regretted missing out on parts of Orion's childhood, Nash supported Nina in whatever she decided.

They arrived in the Yaren Tribe eight hours later, where Micah and Freya were there to greet them in person.

As soon as they saw Orion, all their attention went straight to him. Freya was especially taken with him, showering him with affection and gifts she had brought along.

With Orion firmly in their care, it almost seemed like they were a family of three.
