Chapter 887: Daughter, Be Careful With Jared Jared held Tina by the waist as they walked slowly behind Alina and Ruud. Watching the couple ahead of them, so close and affectionate, Jared felt a subtle itch creeping into his heart.

As they continued walking, Jared's broad hand suddenly tightened around Tina's waist, stopping her in her tracks. She turned her head to look at him, her cool and delicate face tinged with confusion. Her eyes, however, remained gentle, and her soft lips parted slightly.

"Uncle, why did you stop?" she asked.

Jared pulled her wrist and led her to stand beneath a cluster of white vines. The moonlight illuminated his handsface, casting shadows that deepened the huskiness in his voice.

"Are you staying at the Pace family's house tonight?" he asked.

Tina had been staying with the Pace family for the past few days after reconnecting with them. It had been days since she last shared a room with her Uncle. Staring at Jared's strikingly handsfeatures, she licked her lips. "Why don't I just stay at your villa instead?" she suggested.

Desire flickered in Jared's eyes as he stepped closer to her, pinning her gently against the white stone wall. "No," he said firmly. "You're at the Pace family's house now. There are always eyes watching you." Jared knew Tina's fearless nature. She wouldn't hesitate to leave openly if she wanted to. But she had just arrived at the Pace family's house, and there were bound to be people with impure intentions watching her, especially Boris Pace. Tina squinted, catching his meaning. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, followed by a sudden mischievous smile.

"Good," she said. "Let him watch. I'm only afraid he's not watching closely enough." Jared chuckled softly, his laughter indulgent. "You're scheming again." Tina raised an eyebrow, her gaze gleaming with amusement. "How could someone as kind asever schagainst anyone?" Jared reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose. "Right. You're the kindest of all." Then, he cupped the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Their tongues intertwined, the heat of the moment enveloping them completely.

When the kiss ended, Jared rested his forehead against hers. Her cheeks were flushed, and his heart softened at the sight.

"Pickup tonight," Tina whispered.

Jared nodded, his voice low and teasing. "I'll steal you away tonight." After parting ways with Jared, Tina walked back to her room alone. Ruud's face was clouded with hesitation as he watched her. He seemed torn, as though holding back words he didn't know how to say.

After a moment of indecision, he finally approached her, walking into her room and closing the door behind him. Tina had a vague idea of what he wanted to discuss and didn't bother to act coy. She pulled out a chair and gestured toward it.

"Sit," she said.

Ruud sat down heavily, his expression grim. After a long pause, he finally spoke, his tone cautious. "You and Jared... you two..." Tina took a sip of water, her mind wandering. She couldn't help but think of Jared's promise to steal her away later. The thought drifted further, imagining Jared shirtless, with his perfectly sculpted abs and the seductive lines of his physique. The vivid image made her choke on her water, coughing violently as she tried to dispel it. When she finally regained her composure, she looked at Ruud and replied directly, "Everything has already happened." "What?!" Ruud exclaimed, his voice loud with shock. He hadn't expected her to be so blunt, casually stating it as though it were as ordinary as eating a meal.

Regret gnawed at him. He blamed himself for meeting Tina too late. His daughter had already been "stolen" by that bastard Jared! Tina glanced up at him lazily. "Do you have a problem with that?" Ruud shook his head, his hands resting awkwardly on his knees. "What can I say? It's already happened. There's no point in splitting you two up now. As long as that Farrell boy treats you well..." He hesitated, his voice trailing off before he awkwardly added, "Just be mindful of... um... precautions." Tina frowned slightly, her tone impatient. "What precautions?" Ruud's face turned crimson, all traces of his usual commanding presence gone. He coughed and mumbled, "Be careful not to get pregnant. You're still too young for that." Tina nodded calmly. "Don't worry. I know my own body." Later that night, Tina filled her bathtub with warm water and added her special blend of skincare oils. The soothing aroma filled the room as she sank into the bath, allowing herself to relax completely. The day's fatigue melted away as she closed her eyes, occasionally splashing the water gently with her feet. She was simply waiting for her Uncle to c"steal" her.

A soft tapping sound suddenly cfrom the window.

"Knock, knock-" Tina stood up from the tub, grabbing her robe and slipping it on. She tied a loose knot around her waist and walked to the window.

Reaching out, she tapped the glass lightly. The knocking sound cagain in response.

Opening the window, she stepped aside as a tall figure dressed in black climbed in gracefully. Jared landed silently, his forehead slightly damp, and a few strands of his hair fell messily over his face.

Tina shut the window behind him and walked over. Her slender fingers gently smoothed his messy hair before cupping his face. Without hesitation, she leaned in and kissed him, her lips savoring his familiar scent.

When the long kiss ended, her lips curled into a teasing smile, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Uncle," she said, her voice soft yet alluring. "Where are you planning to stealaway to?" Jared's dark eyes burned with desire, captivated by her natural charm. Her damp black hair clung to her cheeks, exuding a faint, irresistible fragrance. Her flushed face glowed with an ethereal beauty, like a lotus emerging from clear water. Even her toes, pale pink and delicate, seemed to tempt him.

His breathing grew heavier, and his body tensed. Without a word, he walked to her wardrobe, pulled out a piece of clothing, and draped it over her.

Tina blinked, three large question marks practically floating above her head.

"Uncle, why don't you just cover my face while you're at it? That way, you won't be more be tempted anymore," she teased, a sly grin tugging at her lips.

She had seen right through him. Jared sighed, utterly helpless against her wit. Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Or," he murmured, "you could satisfynow." Tina leaned back into him, her head resting against his shoulder. They fit together perfectly, like two elegant black swans entwined.

"Fine," she said, her voice playful. "If that's what you want. It's not like I'll lose out. So, are you still planning to stealaway?"

Jared couldn't resist pressing a kiss to her slender neck, lightly biting her skin. Tina shivered at the sensation, her body trembling slightly. Satisfied, Jared pulled back. "We can't stay here. It's too risky. Someone might hear us. Let's go somewhere else," he said. "But first, change into something warmer. It's cold out tonight." Tina nodded, scratching his chin playfully before picking out a purple dress from her wardrobe and slipping it on.

When Jared turned back to her, her radiant beauty seemed to outshine even the moonlight. Without another word, he scooped her up in his arms and leapt out the window.

The two of them moved swiftly, darting through the dense branches of tall trees and scaling the high walls surrounding the Pace family estate. Jared's car waited beneath a flowering tree. He opened the car door for Tina, helping her settle in before sliding into the driver's seat.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Tina asked, her hair still slightly damp as it cascaded over her shoulders.

Jared smiled, his voice warm and calm. "You'll see soon enough."
