Once Jean fully recovered, Carl decided to send her back to the Ginger family.

That familiar black van appeared before her again. Carl was the first to get in-

He was going to personally see her off.

Sitting inside the vehicle, the man’s deep, dark eyes looked straight at her, signaling her to get in.

Jean stood at the door of the car.

Behind her, the gothic mansion loomed with its signature mystery and beauty, like something painted in thick strokes of oil–grand and shadowy, cold yet elegant.

Strange.

She actually felt… a little reluctant to leave.

Maybe it was because her time recovering here had been the most peaceful and carefree days she’d had in a long while.

Carl heard the thought in her mind. His gaze faltered for a moment, just slightly.

“If something’s bothering you…” He hesitated for a second, then suddenly spoke. Her emotional state at that moment left him strangely unsettled. “You can talk to me. If you don’t mind.”

Carl’s sudden words caught Jean completely off guard.

She looked into the car at her aloof brother. After blinking in surprise, she couldn’t help but smile.

This guy… how could he say something so warm with such a cold face, in such an indifferent voice…

Carl heard that thought and instinctively turned his face away slightly, avoiding her gaze.

Jean, on the other hand, grinned openly. “Got it. If I ever run into something I can’t deal with, I’ll definitely come find you,” she said cheerfully. “But if you dare say no, don’t blame me for throwing a fit.”

Carl didn’t turn his head. His gaze remained angled toward the window.

From where Jean sat, she couldn’t see the faint curve that briefly tugged at the corner of his lips.

It disappeared as quickly as it came.

Then he slowly turned his head back, his face once again returning to its usual detached and stern. expression. He gave her a casual nod. “Mm.”

“Get in the car,”

Jean didn’t drag it out any longer. She climbed in without hesitation.

The drive back to the Ginger family estate wasn’t particularly long, but not short either. Along the way, Jean would occasionally chat with Carl.

moons as she grinned and waved exaggeratedly.

“Bye, Carl.”

Carl’s expression froze for a moment. His gaze instinctively followed her eyes–but right then, the car door

closed with a thud.

Their eyes were cut off from each other.

Carl flexed his fingers slightly.

Suddenly, a strange thought struck him-

He regretted the way he used to brush her off, maybe even resent her, for calling him “Carl.”

But now, that name-

Sounded oddly pleasant.
