“Don’t overthink it–that’s impossible!” Ryan quickly responded. “If they wanted to kill Toby, Brandon could have done it right after kidnapping him. There’d be no need to take him to the coast.”
“They must have moved Toby somewhere else–by water. Gabby, don’t scare yourself. You’re Toby’s mother–you can’t lose your cool.”
“Really?” I patted my chest, still trying to steady myself.
I didn’t know why, but everything had felt fine a moment ago until that terrifying thought struck me.
It was like some kind of… horrible intuition.
“Gabby, I know you’re worried about Toby. It’s natural to have scary thoughts, but you need to stay calm. Give me a little more time, and I’ll bring Toby back to you safely.” Ryan said, his tone steady and his gaze earnest.
The anxiety in my heart gradually settled.
“Ryan, you’re always helping me without hesitation. I don’t know how to thank you,” I said, meeting his caring eyes and feeling a sudden wave of emotions. “I want to do something for you, too.”
“Just do your best work at my law firm–that’s enough.”

“That doesn’t matter, Gabrielle.” Ryan replied, shaking his head. “Your value isn’t determined by anyone else–it’s defined by you. Believe in your potential.”
“The future holds endless possibilities. I can’t wait to see you become a renowned lawyer in
Harborbrook.”
“Like you?” I asked, stunned by his faith in me.
“Like me.” he said with a gentle smile. “No, maybe different–maybe even stronger.”
His words left me speechless. I could only nod, looking into his eyes, feeling a quiet resolve building
within me.
Life is full of setbacks, but I want to be like wild grass–able to bend but never break, even in the
harshest storms.
Hardships wouldn’t kill me, they’d make me stronger.
After we finished dessert and got ready to leave, I turned to him and said, “I want to go to Starlight
Bay.”
“By yourself? It’s pretty deserted there–it might not be safe. I’m free tomorrow, want me to go with you?” Ryan suggested.
“That would be great, Mr. Hudson.” I replied with a smile and a playful wink.
As we walked out of the private room and reached the corner, he suddenly spoke, “Oh, right. Remember I mentioned Brandon’s family disappearing? I suspect they’re being held by whoever’s

“And Brandon’s death is suspicious too. He probably stayed quiet to protect his family.”
Ryan’s words brought me back to the day when we saw Brandon at the police station. He hadn’t answered a single question and had even tried to smash his head against the wall!
Everything started clicking into place.
One thing was clear- whoever was behind this war was ruthless–and terrifying.
My worry for Toby bubbled up again. Where was he? What was he going through right now?
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this,” Ryan said quietly beside me.
I looked at him in surprise, meeting his steady gaze.
Suddenly, I had this feeling that no matter what I did, he would be standing behind me.
That thought wrapped around me like a shield, making me feel safe.
Even though I knew perfectly well he was Vincent’s uncle and liked Miss Miller, Ryan had a way of m aking my heart skip a beat.
I was just about to speak when a loud, familiar voice cut through the air. “Oh my god! Gabby, are you on a date with Ryan?!”
