When Tess got back to her apartment, she was surprised to see the baby stroller Edith had given her waiting right outside her
door.
She blinked in surprise.
Earlier, worried about Layla getting hurt and seeing the worried look on that young man’s face, she hadn’t thought twice before hopping into the ambulance, leaving the stroller behind.
How did it end up back at my place now?
Questions raced through Tess’s mind, but Edith heard the noise and came out from the next door first.
“Hey, you’re back! I heard you got hurt at the park. Are you okay?”
Edith’s face showed real concern.
Tess felt a warmth spread inside her chest.
Not only had Edith found them the best suite, but she’d also gone out of her way to bring Layla a stroller, taking special care of both of them.
“I’m fine. Just a little scrape,” Tess said with a soft smile.
Only then did Edith relax, pressing a hand to her chest.
Thank goodness she’s okay. If anything had gone wrong, I wouldn’t have been able to explain it to them.
She wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead.
“The stuff inside’s all packed up. Are you moving out?”
Suddenly, a clear, refined voice rang out.
Tess felt a flicker of recognition and looked up to see a face she’d only met recently.
“What are you doing here?” Surprise colored her voice.
Edith’s expression softened when she heard Tess’s reply. “Looks like you really know each other.”
She glanced sideways at the young man beside her.
At first, shed worried he might be a scammer, but his confident and determined look made her doubt that.
More than that, even without gold or jewels, his presence was regal and commanding, earning the respect of those around him. She hesitated only briefly before letting him in. She didn’t want to offend anyone, but she couldn’t leave him alone, so she had been watching carefully from next door.
Hearing Edith’s words, Tess finally understood the situation.
She rubbed her forehead in quiet frustration but turned to Edith with a polite, friendly smile. “He’s the one who took Layla and me to the hospital. You can leave us now. Thanks for the concern.”
“Oh, okay!
Edith didn’t hang around.
The weather had been good over the past few days, and many potential renters had toured the building, so interest was high.
She left quickly but glanced back at Tess one last time. She wanted to look at the young man again, but something about him made her uneasy. Instead, she lowered her head and hurried away.
No wonder Mr. Lock arranged for so many people to secretly protect her–everyone around her is either rich or powerful. It’s normal for him 1/3

to be concerned.
She looks like just an ordinary mom taking care of her chili, yuu so many people seem to revolve around her.
