Vincent rarely came to the family estate these days and had just arrived home
when he saw his grandfather, Knox, seeing off some quests. He lingered in the
yard for a while, watching the group depart from a distance. For a fleeting
moment, he thought he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, but by the time
he focused, the person was already getting into a car.
Before long. Knox approached him, “Kid, what's gotten into you to drop by
today?”
Vincent had already shifted his gaze away, his handsome face as cool as ever.
Only when looking at his grandfather, would his eyes soften unconsciously,
“Didn't you tell me that you whipped up a couple of new dishes? I'm just here to
play guinea pig for your culinary experiments.”
Normally, this would have touched Knox, but tonight, he just huffed, “Not
necessary. Your palate is only good for eating. You never have any constructive
feedback.”
As Knox headed inside, he continued, “I've been telling you to learn cooking from
me, but all you do is make excuses about solving puzzles. Are puzzles really that
enticing?”
The same went for that girl who had sparked his interest in taking on an
apprentice, always talking about needing to study. What was with the youth
today? Shouldn't they be eager to pick up some practical skills?
Every time Vincent heard Knox's ramblings, his head ached, so he didn't take the
bait. Instead. changing the subject, “Grandpa, who were those guests just now?”
Knox raised an eyebrow, giving Vincent a sidelong glance, “Why, you know
them?”
Vincent's gaze intensified slightly, “Not really. It's just rare we have visitors, so I
was curious.”
“Don't be nosy. Some people aren't your business to inquire about,” Knox said
seriously.
Vincent acknowledged the point. “Understood.”
Suddenly, Knox patted his shoulder with a hint of melancholy. “One day, the
Mendoza legacy will be in your hands. I might not be around much longer, but I'll
set everything up for you. So. for now, enjoy doing what you like.”
“Grandpa, come on. It's windy out here. Let's get inside,” Vincent said as he
steadied Knox, guiding him towards the main house.
Knox chuckled and let himself be led away.
In the car, with Nikolai present, Mirabella kept to herself, leaning against the car
door, eyes closed, resting.

When her phone buzzed in her pocket, she opened her eyes and fished it out.
It was a message from Leo, asking when she'd be home.
Mirabella glanced outside and then at Nikolai, who was chatting with Wyatt in the
front. After al brief moment, she spoke up, “Wyatt, you can drop me off at the
next intersection.”
Wyatt instinctively glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror. James turned to
Mirabella, “Something up?”
Mirabella responded softly. “I'll just grab a cab home.”
