Brian was watching the luxurious house of Adalfo from the public park across the house. He wore a long winter coat, a beanie hat, and a scarf covering half of his face, just like when he was in Italy. When he found out that Siena and Alfonso were returning from Italy to Los Angeles, Brian immediately took the plane with almost the same departure time as their private jet. From Los Angeles International Airport, he went straight to this house. As he arrived, he saw Alfonso’s car was still parked at the front yard of the house. Brian couldn’t understand himself either, why was he doing so many unusual things since Gloria asked him to conspire with her? He felt as if he was acting like a spy or a detective preying on his targets. “I do it all for you, Siena,” he mumbled, trying to convince himself. More than an hour passed by when Brian finally saw Alfonso walked ou

 Siena stepped out from Damien’s office building five minutes later, and made her way to Alfonso’s car. “How is it going?” Alfonso asked as soon as she got into his car. “Damien was still busy. He said he didn’t have time to talk at this moment. So… he is coming to Grandpa’s house at six tonight.” Siena stopped talking, and stared at Alfonso with her pleading eyes. “Alf, please don’t think negatively or get mad at me. We need Damien’s help. I told him to come to Grandpa’s house for a dinner. But trust me, we will be just talking as friends. I hope you don’t mind if I meet Damien tonight,” Siena gave a quick explanation. Alfonso stiffened. His brain was actually screaming with disagreement. How could he let Siena have a dinner with that wise-ass Damien? But… he also had another plan for tonig

 Alfonso parked his car in the front yard of Adalfo’s house. He went straight here as soon as he left Gloria. It took only fifteen minutes to drive from Gloria’s apartment to this house. Touching his neck and his forehead, strangely he felt his body warm all of a sudden. He kept on striding into the house. Siena asked him to come after Damien left, especially to taste the Paella cooked by her. Hmm…, he felt his stomach growl at once thinking about his favorite Spanish traditional food. Alfonso saw Siena standing near the kitchen island with her emerald green dress. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, showing the bare and glowing skin of her neck and her shoulder. Ah, his body warmed up instantly as he saw Siena looking so desirable! How he wanted to feel her skin with his touch, to kiss every inch of her smooth skin, and to claim her sweet rosy lips! “Cherry….”&n

 “Siena Chan…!” Siena lifted her gaze. Imelda ran toward her with her face shining cheerfully. They had made an appointment to meet in a café this Sunday morning, and it was definitely not Cheers Café. Siena had something important in her mind to talk with Imelda, her best friend. “I couldn’t reach Brian for these past two days. He didn’t go to work. His manager in Cheers Café said he was sick. But strangely, he is not in his apartment either,” Imelda chattered as soon as she took a seat next to Siena. That was exactly the one thing troubling Siena all this time. “Really?” Siena’s expression turned gloomy. “What is it actually? When you called me, you said you wanted to talk about Brian.” Inhaling deeply, finally Siena decided to tell Imelda everything happened that day, the

 Three days later. Alfonso and Siena sat in Adalfo’s private jet flying them to Melbourne, Australia. The problem was they were taking a journey without a clue this time. They had not found any accommodation owned by Adalfo in Melbourne. Alfonso’s assistant had searched through all the data about every accommodation in Melbourne, but to no avail. “I’m very positive that Grandpa’s last asset must be in Melbourne, Alf…. Maybe it’s just a small lodging house not registered by the authority. Or maybe the name of the owner is kept secret. No matter what, we must go to Melbourne to find it. Because it’s your birthplace and it must hold so many memories about you.” Even in the plane, Siena was still trying to convince Alfonso. Alfonso could not help but smile excitedly. The past Alfonso was a man always did a full planning ahead. He would never
