“He… just has a bit of a temper.”
Dawn looked down, smiling. “But it doesn’t matter. Let’s just enjoy ourselves.”

She’d already said all she could. Knowing Austin’s personality, she figured she probably wouldn’t be seeing much of him after this.
“I’m not so sure about that.” Janice gave her a meaningful look. “Did you see the way your Uncle Austin stormed off just now? He was clearly upset.”
Dawn was puzzled. “He’s upset because I won’t listen to him
anymore.
What’s wrong
with that?<b>” </b>
Janice sighed. Staring at Dawn’s naive expression, she wasn’t sure how to exin. “Just wait and see! He’s not going to let you walk out of his life so easily!”
Being an adult, Janice knew exactly what that possessive look in his eyes meant.
Maybe Austin was just used to having Dawn around.
Or maybe…
It was love, and he just hadn’t figured it out yet.
Honestly, if that was true, who would win out in the end–Austin or their boss<b>? </b>
The more Janice thought about it, the more she found it oddly exciting.
Noticing Janice’s dazed expression, Dawn waved her hand in front of her. “What’s got you so lost in thought?”
“Huh? Oh, nothing–what did you just say?”
“Your phone keeps buzzing. Someone’s texting you.”
Janice nced at her phone. It was a coworker who’d gotten lost on the back side of the mountain. She turned to Dawn. “We just finished eating, so let’s take a walk and go find her.”
Dawn checked the time. She had no objections.
The mountain air was refreshing, and it made all her worries fade away. A small part of her wished she could stay there forever.

<b>As </b>Dawn was enjoying her bath that night, she got a call from Sandra. She guessed that Austin must have said something to her.
They chatted about life and family matters, but Dawn could sense that Sandra had something
she wanted to ask.
Sure enough, the next second, Sandra asked hesitantly, “Dawn, honey, there’s something private I want to ask you. Is that okay?”
Dawn answered, “Go ahead, Mom. What do you want to know?”
“Are you falling for Ethan?”
Dawn was speechless for a few seconds.
She figured Sandra might ask about her love life, but she hadn’t expected her to be so blunt.
Dawn thought for a while and said, “Mom, I don’t really know what it means to like someone, but he makes me feel at ease.”
That was enough for Sandra to understand.
She let out a long sigh, a bit helpless.
“Austin called to ask if I knew you were dating. I didn’t tell him anything, not even about you and Ethan Dawn, I feel like it would be better if you told him yourself, but of course, that’s up to you. I’m not going to interfere.”
..
Sandra knew it wasn’t her ce toment or meddle in this matter. She had raised her own kids from birth, yet she still wouldn’t try to control their lives–let alone Dawn’s, especially since Dawn had only joined the family at age eight.
She cared a lot about Dawn, but she was always clear–headed.
Dawn’sshes fluttered, and after a long pause, she whispered, “Let’s not tell him for now.”
Janice was right. With Austin’s controlling streak, there was no way he’d let her get married yet.
That thought made her even more determined. “When I’m ready to get married, I’ll tell him myself.”
After saying goodnight to Sandra, Dawn went to sleep. The next day was pure rxation, and the whole team really rxed for once.
A’s the evening rolled around, Janice suddenly suggested, “Since we’re going home tomorrow, <fn7c54> Discover more novels at find(?)ovel</fn7c54>

how about we have a poolside barbecue tonight?”
“A poolside barbecue? That means drinks, right?”
“If we’re drinking, we need music too!”
“This is going to be wild!”

Everyone started talking at once, wondering if they should change into something nicer to get some good photos.
Dawn walked up to Janice, curious. “What gave you the idea of having a barbecue? Does the resort have fresh ingredients?”
“Nope.”
“Huh?”
“But we can bring stuff in from outside!”
There was a glint of excitement in Janice’s eyes. “A special guest isingter, and he’s bringing barbecue supplies for us. Isn’t that awesome? Aren’t you excited?”
Dawn was at a loss for words.
Truthfully, she felt no excitement, but she put on a polite smile and said, “Super happy. Really excited.”
She honestly didn’t care about the so–called mystery guest. While everyone else went off to freshen up, she sat alone in the lobby, spacing out as she watched the fountain outside.
Her phone buzzed twice.
It was Ethan.
Dawn immediately straightened up and opened WhatsApp.
“What are you doing?”
She replied, “Spacing out. What about you?”
“Driving.”
As soon as she saw that, Dawn sent a voice message. “Then just focus on driving, okay? I’ll probably be busy soon, too. Janice says there’s some kind of mystery guesting over.”
