“If you want her to call you something different, you’d better prepare a bigger gift first.”
A voice came from behind. Tara turned, but her son pulled her to the side with one hand.
Ethan had one hand in his pocket and the other rested on Dawn’s shoulder, exuding a strong sense of possessiveness.
His face remained nk as he said, “Mom, Dawn and I are registering our marriage today. Thanks for showing up with a gift, but you can leave now.”
As soon as he finished, everyone’s eyes turned toward him.
Dawn thought, <i>Isn’t </i><i>it </i><i>rude </i><i>to </i><i>push </i><i>out </i><i>an </i><i>elder </i><i>the </i><i>moment </i><i>she </i><i>arrives</i><i>? </i>
Tara thought, <i>No </i><i>use </i><i>arguing </i><i>with </i><i>him</i>. <i>He’s </i><i>nowhere </i><i>near </i><i>as </i><i>sweet </i><i>as </i><i>my </i><i>daughter</i><i>–</i><i>in</i><i>–</iw.
Hannah thought, <i>Uh</i><i>–</i><i>oh</i><i>. </i><i>Is </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Ethan </i><i>gonna </i><i>be </i><i>mad </i><i>that </i><i>I </i><i>told </i>Mrs. <i>Jackson </i><i>without </i><i>asking </i><i>him</i><i>? </i>
Tara straightened her hat, maintaining her ssy, elegant aura. She cleared her throat. “I didn’te back just for you. I had business here and thought I’d drop by to see Dawn. Otherwise, do think I’d havee so quickly?”

As it turned out, when Hannah called at noon, Tara was already at the airport. She came straight from her flight.
She’d barely been here a few minutes, and her son already wanted her gone!
The more Tara thought about it, the more annoyed she felt. She nced at Dawn and smiled. “Dawn hasn’t seen me in years. I’m sure she doesn’t want me to leave right away, right?”
The attention suddenly shifted to her. Dawn quickly replied, “Of course, you can stay as long as you’d like. There are plenty of rooms.”
Tara tilted her chin up smugly. “Did you hear that? Plenty of rooms! Hannah, get things ready!”
She signaled the driver to bring in her luggage.
<i>Better </i><i>hurry </i><i>before </i><i>that </i><i>brat </i><i>tries </i>to <i>shove </i><i>me </i><i>out </i><i>again</i><i>! </i>
Ethan was speechless.
Dawn had never seen him at a loss for words. She giggled. Once Tara and Hannah went

upstairs, she tugged at his sleeve, whispering, “It’s rare for her toe back. Just let it he
He nced at her. After a pause, he asked, “Are you sure you’re okay with this?”
Nobody knew his mother’s personality better than he did. She was a whirlwind, always unpredictable.
To some people, the way she’d acted toward Dawn would’ve been over the line.
“Of course.”
Dawn nodded firmly. “I didn’t grow up with the best family. I truly envy you.”
She couldn’t imagine how nice it must feel to have a mother like that.
Ethan’s frown softened. He squeezed her hand. He squeezed her hand. “If she makes you ufortable, tell me. I’ll make her stay at her own ce.”
The Jacksons owned tons of houses in Northville, and his parents had a ce where they lived most of the time.
Dawn smiled. “Don’t worry. I will.”
Upstairs, she suddenly remembered the gift Tara had given her.
When she opened it, she was genuinely surprised.
It was a stunning green emerald bracelet.
Dawn vaguely recalled seeing it at a famous auction in Gredos two years ago. A mystery buyer had snagged it for 60 million Gredos dors.
She never expected Tara to have it.
Ethan, freshly changed, came over and saw her staring at the jewelry box. He gently stroked the back of her head. “What’s wrong?”
“This bracelet.”
Dawn snapped back to reality and looked up at him. “It’s way too expensive. I can’t keep it.” Ethan looked at the bracelet for a moment, then gave a slight nod. “Yeah, it’s definitely pricey.”
Hearing him admit that made Dawn feel even uneasy. She immediately got up. “I’ll return it to Mrs. Jackson. I can’t take it—”

“Wait.”
Ethan pulled her back down to the couch.
:
“Don’t rush to give it back. Think about it. Have you ever gotten anything more valuable than this?”

… Huh?” Dawn blinked, confused. “But I haven’t seen Mrs. Jackson in years. I’ve never received anything else from her.”
His gaze deepened as he asked gently, “Really?”
… Really.”
Her puzzled face made Ethan smile. He held his forehead and chuckled softly, voice low and warm. “Babe, you already took the most precious thing from her.”
Dawn stared at him, slowly realizing what he meant.
The most precious thing he meant was himself.
When he put it like that, it actually made sense.
“But…”
“1
“No buts.” He pulled the bracelet out, rolled up her sleeve, and slipped it onto her wrist.
