Chapter 1098: Chapter 1090: Rescuing Father 9

After just a nap, she looked at them with a bewildered face.

May Sloane saw this and walked over to grab Tiana Thorne’s arm. Afraid Linden Hawthorne might hear, she pulled her to a corner and said, "Tiana, you should quickly go see Master Shaw."

"What happened?" Tiana Thorne rubbed her face. Just waking up, she felt dizzy.

May Sloane instinctively glanced at Linden Hawthorne. Anyone could see there was a huge misunderstanding.

Linden Hawthorne realized Aiden Shaw misunderstood. Putting himself in Aiden’s shoes, if it were him, his possessiveness wouldn’t allow his woman to interact with other men. His possessiveness...

He watched Tiana Thorne’s back, his gaze somewhat invasive, with emotions swirling as complex as a black vortex.

Finally, he licked his molars and loosened his clenched fist.

"Poppy, it seems Aiden misunderstood. Go find him. I’ll watch over things here until your father fully wakes up. I’ll keep everything fine."

Linden Hawthorne’s tone was gentle, his noble, fair face carrying a relaxed smile.

Those who witnessed it felt a healing illusion seeping in.

Linden Hawthorne was really gentle to his Poppy.

May Sloane, seeing this, felt a bit envious of how this noble young master would follow Tiana Thorne’s every command.

For some reason, she also felt a bit sorry. Linden Hawthorne must really like Tiana.

This kind of affection is different from those brothers.

Tiana Thorne finally understood that the one at home had gotten jealous again. It’s just a short departure, and he’s already throwing a tantrum.

"Then I’ll go check. Please watch my dad for the moment," Tiana Thorne gave Linden Hawthorne a smile.

Her benefactor, gentle to her like a soothing spring in past and present lives.

Water plain, yet nourishing her soul.

"Okay, go ahead."

Linden Hawthorne smiled as he sent Tiana Thorne to the elevator, even thoughtfully pressing the button for her.

In others’ eyes, it was all routine actions.

But it takes great courage to hand over a beloved girl.

As Tiana Thorne entered the elevator, she waved to Linden Hawthorne, who maintained his spring-like smile. But as the elevator doors closed, the smile disappeared, and he stood there for a long time.

Like a moment of contemplation behind closed doors.

"Are you really okay letting her go down just like that?" Georgia Thorne stood behind him, asking coldly.

Linden Hawthorne said, "Why worry? Aiden treats Poppy well and won’t let her down."

If it were someone else, perhaps he wouldn’t be so at ease.

Georgia Thorne felt a stony lump in her throat, extremely uncomfortable.

She watched him silently from behind.

On the surface, he appeared calm, gracefully giving her up. Yet when no one is around, when Tiana can’t see it, his expressions reveal the truth.

Clearly possessing a strong desire, yet he restrains it, silently enduring.

She understood those feelings, just as she felt about him.

Acceptance, letting go, requires immense courage.

She didn’t want him to be too sad.

Apathetic outwardly, but bleeding within.

Georgia Thorne turned her gaze elsewhere, saying softly to Linden Hawthorne, perhaps also to herself, "Shouldn’t you strive if you like someone? Tiana doesn’t lack feelings for you. I see her sincerity, the way she looks at you is different."

She could sense Tiana’s reliance on him, unlike with others.

Isn’t this an opportunity?

Why not seize it?

Certain emotions aren’t understood by outsiders. He understood Tiana’s mind, chuckling lightly, "It’s not love."

That wasn’t love, but a sense of gratitude.
