Trevor couldn’t help but wonder, thinking to himself: What has caused Tawanna to change so much? Is it because of our earlier quarrel or the recent crisis? But thanks to Mr. Wade’s help, that crisis has beenpletely resolved, and there hasn’t been any further trouble since. So why does she still seem so affected?
As he mulled over this, a disturbing thought suddenly shed through his mind: Could it be… Could it be that she’s fallen for Mr. Wade?
But that’s impossible! Mr. Wade is married…
And could it be because he’s married that she’s feeling so dejected—troubled by a love she can’t pursue?
This… this seems very likely…<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Reflecting on Tawanna’s recent distance, Trevor felt a deep sense of disappointment.
He loved Tawanna dearly, enough to overlook her diva-like temperament, her naive worldview, and herplicated past.
But he couldn’t ept the possibility that her heart might belong to someone else.
Worse still, that someone else was the very man who had saved them both—a man so extraordinary that Trevor felt he couldn’t measure up, no matter how hard he tried.
The thought left him with a heavy heart. Finally, he said softly, “Hey, baby.”
Tawanna, lost in her thoughts, didn’t hear him.
Trevor sighed, leaned closer, and repeated in a louder voice, “Hey, baby.”
Snapping out of her trance, Tawanna gave a faint, flustered smile and asked, “What’s wrong, dear?”
Trevor smiled back, though it didn’t reach his eyes, and asked, “What are you thinking about? You’ve been so distracted, almost like you’repletely absorbed in something.”
Tawanna adjusted her hair awkwardly and said with a smile, “I was just thinking about the uing performances—20 shows in total. It’s going to be a lot of work.”
Trevor knew she wasn’t beingpletely honest, but he chose not to call her out. Instead, he offered reassurance. “I understand. After everything that’s happened, you must be exhausted and could really use some rest. But since this is a favor for Mr. Wade, you’ll probably need to push through a little longer.”<fnae67> Official source is find{n}ovel</fnae67>
Trevor deliberately mentioned charlie Wade to observe her reaction.
As expected, the moment he brought up Mr. Wade, Tawanna couldn’t help but smile—a subtle change in her expression that she didn’t even notice.
Trevor saw it and sighed inwardly. It was the first genuine smile he’d seen from her in days.
His suspicion seemed to be spot on.
Encouraged by the mention of charlie Wade, Tawanna said, “I’ve been on tour for so long, and I’m honestly very tired. But when I think about repaying Mr. Wade’s kindness, it gives me the strength to keep going.”
Then, as if remembering something, she asked, “By the way, Trevor, aren’t you heading back to the U.S. soon for training andpetitions?”
Trevor nodded. “Yes, the coach and team manager have already reached out. They want me back as soon as possible—definitely within five days.”
Tawanna smiled. “That’s fine. If you need to go, I’ll arrange a ne to take you back. I’ll stay here in China and finish the 20 shows. After that, I n to take a few months off before heading back to the U.S.”
Trevor hesitated before asking, “Baby, when you’re done with the tour and return to the U.S., will things between us go back to the way they used to be?”
