Autumn let out a sigh and explained everything that had happened to Bowen.
Bowen slammed his hand on the table in anger. “That bastard Derek-I told her from the beginning he was no good, but Selena wouldn’t listen.
“She even cut ties with the family for him, and now look at her-this is what she gets?
“I’m not letting that jerk off the hook. Everything he gained from Selena, I’ll make sure he pays back with interest p>
Anyone who dared to betray Bowen’s sister was going to pay.
The Long family wouldn’t let it slide.
A man who trampled on someone’s genuine love deserved to choke on a thousand needles to make up pain he caused.
Afterward, Bowen dropped Autumn off at her place.
Autumn glanced at Selena, fast asleep in the backseat, then turned to Bowen.
“She’s been through a lot lately. Take care of her when you get back, okay p>
Bowen nodded. “I will p>
Only after watching their car pull away did Autumn turn and head upstairs.
By the time she got home, it was already nine.
She poured herself a big glass of water, then headed for a shower.
The next day was the weekend, and she slept in.
Just as she finished making a pot of oatmeal, there was a knock at the door.
Setting down the oatmeal, she walked over to open it and found Keith standing there.
He wore a fitted black loungewear set that outlined his tall frame, his features sharp and striking.

For a moment, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but Keith seemed far more approachable today, the usual edge in his demeanor softened.
Autumn froze for a second, then smiled and greeted him. “Senior, are you off today too? I just made some oatmeal-want to join me p>
She’d made extra on purpose, planning to spend the day at home writing and living off the oatmeal.
She’d only extended the offer out of politeness, assuming Keith would brush it off and say he’d already eaten.
But to her surprise, Keith’s lips curved faintly. “Sure, I haven’t had breakfast yet.

He had actually heard her moving around earlier and was going to ask her out for breakfast anyway.
Now that she’d already made some, he didn’t mind joining her.
After Keith came in, Autumn brought out a steaming bowl of oatmeal from the kitchen.
The oatmeal smelled warm and fragrant.
In no time, Keith had finished the entire bowl.
In contrast, Autumn ate slowly, taking small bites.
After a few spoonfuls, she lost her appetite and set the spoon down, ready to clear the dishes.
But before she could react, the bowl in front of her was taken away.
Keith had picked it up and began eating from it.
Autumn couldn’t help but remind him, “I already ate from that bowl p>
“Yeah,” Keith replied simply, as he quickly finished the rest of the oatmeal.
He knew she had eaten from it, yet he still finished it—wasn’t he bothered by that?
While Autumn was overthinking, Keith had already finished and stood up.
He took the bowl from her hands and headed into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
She stood frozen in place, stunned.
The heir to the Sinclair family was actually doing the dishes-how unbelievable.
Her thoughts drifted to Julian.
In all the years she’d known him, he had never even stepped into the kitchen.
Even when Autumn had made meals for him, Julian would act like it was unnecessary-after all, they had a maid. Why should she bother?
