"...Adrian...?" My voice is shaking.

"Take the tickets," Adrian puts them in my hand, standing in front of me, "You will be okay. Nobody can touch you

today, so long as I'm here."

"Mr. Dunn," Jack Fuller nods at Adrian with a smile, "Fancy seeing you here."

"I guess | can say the sto you," Adrian blockswith his body, "Where are you traveling to, Mr. Fuller, if |

may ask?"

Jack Fuller curves his lips scornfully, but then he answers tamely: "North Dakota."

I'm actually surprised that when it comes to it, we can have such a calm conversation about it: "Ava is all but

Jack Fuller signs, and the next moment, all the warmth in his eyes is gone.

"What you are looking for does not exist," He says, his voice cold as ice.

105 Jack Fuller's Compromise

Trying to intimidatefor a long, Jack Fuller realizes his magic is not working today. He lets out a sigh and asks:

"Do you really have to do it this hastily? You don't even know where to look. How about you chome, and

make a sound plan first?"

| hesitate. Is he, Jack Fuller, the dominant patriarch in the family really making a compromise to me? If budge,

could I really keep up a harmonious surface in the "family" and live my life in peace?

"Yes, |-" Jack Fuller nods, but Adrian suddenly cuts in-

"What a huge difference does it make if she stays in the city for a few days longer?"

father-daughter days.

| don't want to think in the darkest direction, but what could he do in a few days...

then | would have fallen for his trick, again!
