Chapter 972: Chapter 964: The Show Begins 3

Tiana Thorne’s eyes bore a trace of nostalgia, her breathing suddenly deepened: "Dad, is this the new development you started?"

Graham Ford nodded and explained, "This is a prime spot for Feng Shui. Building a villa community here will definitely be worthwhile."

Indeed.

Of course, it’s worthwhile.

She is also a Feng Shui Master; how could she not understand the Feng Shui of this place?

It has signs of prosperity, but also omens of misfortune.

A person who understands business living here will prosper for three generations. Yet, if ordinary, the wronging of Feng Shui might bring calamity.

Her trembling heart wasn’t because of this, but because this was where her benefactor from a past life lived.

Later, she saved her elder brother and lived here for a long time, ultimately going with him to the palace.

If developed, one could still find the underground tunnel she built, where gold and jewels were hidden.

She waited over a thousand years for her benefactor, who never returned.

She didn’t expect her dad to take an interest in this land for development.

Graham noticed the concern in her eyes and called out, "Tiana, what are you thinking?"

Tiana Thorne pressed her lips together: "Dad, can I buy this land from you?"

Graham was slightly stunned, not expecting such a request: "Why?"

Tiana knew her parents believed in Feng Shui; she lightly pressed her lips together and explained, "Because I once had a dream where I lived somewhere for a hundred years. I look at this land and feel it matches my dream."

"Really?"

Tiana smiled gently, shaking his hand, cooing: "Of course it’s true, Dad. Maybe the dream is telling me something; I feel a sense of déjà vu with this land. You’re developing it to make money. I can buy it at the same price, okay?"

Graham looked at his daughter, who resembled her mother, feeling he owed her.

She had never made any requests before. This was the first time he couldn’t bear to refuse.

"Daughter, what belongs to Dad also belongs to you. There’s no buying here. This land, Dad’s giving it to you."

Sigh.

Typical Graham Ford, always so generous.

She nodded immediately: "Mm, thank you, Dad."

Then she lightly pressed her lips again: "Dad, there’s another reason I want this land."

"Let’s hear it?"

"Now, our Ford family is already strong enough. What we lack most now is companionship. When you and Mom were younger, you were busy building a career, rarely spending time together. Now you have the chance, don’t miss a moment."

Graham thought of the argument he had with his wife earlier, feeling guilty. Hearing her words made him recall that although he loved Rouge deeply, he was rarely by her side.

When Rouge gave birth to their first son, he hadn’t returned from out of town.

"I know."

Tiana Thorne just hinted at it, smiling lightly, "Then I’ll go back to my room to rest first."

"Mm."

Then, Tiana left the room.

Graham shredded the development papers in his hand and tossed them into the trash.

At middle age, what matters most is being with the one you love.

He thought of this, stood up.

He opened the door, walked out, and gently opened the bedroom door.

At a glance, he saw Rouge Jarvis was already asleep.

All these years, her sleep had been restless, waking at the slightest noise, unable to sleep through the night.

He didn’t want to disturb her, so he quietly backed out and went to the study.

Midnight.

Tiana Thorne, after her bath, lay on her bed, recalling the times living with her elder brother in a past life.

Such happy times.

Then, she thought of her benefactor from her past life, Linden Hawthorne in this life.

She had waited so long, not expecting to reunite under such circumstances.

Already indebted to her, feeling guilty, her thoughts were unsettled.

The door opened.

Only a sliver of moonlight spilled in. She looked up, not yet seeing who it was, but the person had already reached the bed.

Tiana Thorne blinked and, recognizing the silhouette in an instant, smiled and called out, "Fourth Brother."

Aiden Shaw sat on the edge of her bed and pulled her into his embrace: "What are you thinking about, I knocked and you didn’t hear, hmm?"

The deep and pleasant voice made her heart flutter as she sweetly replied, "Thinking of you."

It’s said that men are the ones who sweet-talk, but what these men can do, she, a mere woman, can also handle effortlessly.

Aiden Shaw’s sexy lips pressed near her ear, his voice gaining a magnetic allure: "Did you have honey for dinner?"

Hearing his teasing, she couldn’t help but laugh softly, turning to hook her arms around his neck, catching his handsome features in the moonlight.

Perhaps after a few days apart, he seemed even more striking.

She brushed her forehead gently against his chin, half-teasing, half-complaining, "Weren’t you supposed to come back early? I returned, but where did you go?"

"I went to Thorne Corp."

Hearing this, Tiana looked at him, puzzled, "What were you doing at my dad’s company?"

"As the son-in-law, I acquired some shares."

On hearing this, Tiana felt touched.

Investing like it benefits him, but in reality, it’s better for her dad.

With Aiden’s shares, Thorne Corp can only do better. In the future, her dad won’t face the helplessness of industry competition.

He held her hand, gently rubbing her pinky, teasing: "Spoke with him in the evening, so I came back late,"

Her heart fluttered as she smiled, her voice sugary, "Thank you."

He chuckled softly, his voice seductive, a bit low: "Darling, no rewards?"

Wow.

Aiden is showing his charm again.

She couldn’t help but think of that night after being drugged. Recalling some details, her cheeks flushed, and she asked, "What reward do you want?"

The moon tonight was very round, its light quite white.

Aiden Shaw took in her shy yet lovely expression, kissed her warm cheek lightly, and whispered, "Sweet sixteen, you’re blushing."

Tiana’s heart quivered. Was it because they had been with each other, or was Aiden becoming even more charming?

She licked her lips, her seductive eyes blinking slowly, a mix of allure and shyness, "Your words are a bit dangerous."

Aiden curved his lips into a smile, breathtaking in the moonlight, and raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about?"

"I, I..."

He smiled, interrupting her, sounding quite serious, "I want to be the lead in your new drama, to accompany you in your work."

She wouldn’t admit her wandering thoughts and gave him a look, "You’re being intentionally mischievous, aren’t you?"

Suddenly, his expression turned serious, looking toward the door, the tenderness gone, his eyes darkened, "There’s a sound."
