“I'll tie it for you.” Yannis took the pretty balloon from the vendor and held the thin string between his fingers. It
was a helium balloon, so it needed to be tied down.
Zinnia rolled up her sleeve, showing her wrist. Yannis lowered his eyes and tied the balloon string around it.
Zinnia watched his long fingers looping the white string. There were moments when their skin touched.
She could feel the soft pads of his fingers brushing against the delicate skin on her wrist. His nails were neatly
trimmed, with pale pink nail beds. Zinnia suddenly thought even his fingernails looked nice.
“Do you want anything else?” Yannis asked. Worried the string might cloose and the balloon would fly away,
he wrapped it twice around her wrist and tied it in a neat bow.
“Nope.” Zinnia glanced at the bow on her wrist, then followed the string up to the bright sunflower-shaped
balloon floating above them, smiling softly.
“Then let's go home.” Yannis took her hand, and together, they walked back.

Jackson went to Nathan's company in Mealinia. It was really quiet there. He could only hear the sound of his
leather shoes hitting the floor.
“Mr. Lynn, Mr. Moore is waiting for you inside,” Nathan's senior assistant said.
Led by the senior assistant, Jackson entered the top-floor office. As soon as Jackson walked in, the assis closed
the office door.
Jackson glanced around the office. It was way too cold and empty. Right in front of him was a black chair with its
back to him. There was no movement at all.
“Nathan, you finally decided to see me,” Jackson said sarcastically. “I've been waiting for you for over a month.
How do you plan to make up for the tI've wasted?”
After he finished speaking, the office was silent for a few seconds before a reply came.
“If 1 don’t see you, you'll be upset. If | do, you wantto compensate for your time,” Nathan's cool voice
echoed in the empty office, with a hint of helplessness. “Just go back. Since you haven't seenyet, no need
for compensation.”
Earlier, Jackson had been clamoring to see Nathan. But now that he was actually there, he wanted Nathan to
compensate him. Nathan shrugged his shoulders, almost not wanting to deal with Jackson anymore.
He couldn’t possibly use money to make up for the tJackson had lost because he planned to leave all his
money to Zinnia. Nathan even thought that not asking Jackson for a meeting fee was already being generous.

Of course, Nathan couldn't say that. If he did, Jackson would definitely start a fight with him. And with Nathan's
current physical condition, he was no match for Jackson. Plus, if they fought, Jackson would notice something
was off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Nathan, I've been looking for you for seventeen years.” Hearing his seemingly gentle but actually somewhat
sarcastic words, Jackson felt a bit frustrated.
Every tNathan spoke to him, his words were full of sarcasm. The elders all said Nathan was a gentleman, but
Jackson, who had grown up with him, knew that Nathan could sometimes leave people speechless with
anger.
However, seeing that Nathan was safe and sound, Jackson felt a little relieved. What he didn’t know was that he
was too quick to be happy.
“Turn around already. Stop playing games,” Jackson said as he sat down in the chair opposite Nathan, staring at
him with a look of disdain because Nathan still wouldn't turn around.
“You're still the sas when you were a kid,” Nathan sighed, slowly spinning his chair around to finally face
Jackson.
Jackson looked at him sharply. As soon as he saw that familiar face, his jaw tightened and his breathing became
a little more rapid.
“Why do you look so bad?” Jackson asked.
Nathan's face was handsbut pale, which added a few more doubts to Jackson's originally gentle eyes and
made him unable to say the jokes he had prepared. Jackson's expression becserious in an instant, with only
worry left in his heart.
Nathan not only looked pale but also seemed very thin. Jackson stared at him without blinking, as if trying to see
something unusual about him.
“Just an old illness,” Nathan said lightly. He pressed his fist to his throat to hold back the urge to cough. His long
eyelashes drooped a little, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Before Jackson could ask anything else, Nathan smiled and said calmly, “Long tno see, Jackson.”
Seeing Jackson, Nathan was calmer than he had imagined. Maybe it was because they had really been too close
in the past. Even after not seeing each other for more than ten years, there was no excitement when they met
again.
They both felt that it was only natural for them to meet again.
“How have you been all these years?” Jackson asked.
This meeting was much calmer than Jackson had imagined. There was no surprise, no unexpected events, no
anger, and they didn’t even have a fight.
Jackson had originally planned to punch Nathan when he saw him again. His fists were clenched so tightly at his
sides that they hurt, but seeing Nathan's pale cheeks, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

They sat facing each other. Both of them were good-looking. It was no surprise that their eyes met. One pair of
eyes was calm and composed, while the other was steady and stern.
It seemed like thad slowed down. After seventeen years, the two former close friends finally met again. The
feeling was both familiar and strange.
Jackson watched Nathan across from him. More than ten years had passed. His childhood friend had long lost.
the gentle and refined look he once had.
Now, Nathan's gaze was cold. There was no more of the warm smile he used to have. It was like a piece of
jewelry had been soaked in cold water, losing all its warmth.
Nathan was wearing a black shirt with the buttons fastened all the way up to the top. He looked a bit cold and
heartless, but he was still noble and had a great style.
However, Jackson remembered that Nathan used to love white and blue clothes.

His former gentleness had completely disappeared. The only thing that reminded Jackson of the past was
Nathan’s handsface.
“I'm doing fine,” Nathan said with a gentle nod.
“Why didn’t you cback all these years? Why didn’t you lookup?” Jackson's voice was a little deep.
Nathan knew that Jackson would help him. No matter because of the relationship between their two families or
the bond between them, the Lynn family would never leave him behind.
But he had disappeared for seventeen years. If it weren't for Zinnia, Jackson might not have found Nat" all.
“Because | could handle it on my own,” Nathan tilted his head and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Nathan!” Jackson got so angry that he stood up and grabbed Nathan's collar all of a sudden. Nathan was forced
to tilt his head back and his face turned red. He looked into Jackson's eyes full of fury.
“Do you think you can get rid ofwith such an off-hand answer?” Jackson really wanted to punch Nathan. He
tightly controlled his clenched fists. Now he understood why Zinnia had been like that. It was because of Nathan.
Zinnia never knew how to ask for help when she was in trouble. She always wanted to sneak away by herself.
She was just like Nathan, both of them were the kind of people who worried others.
“I have too many enemies and | don’t want to involve you guys,” Nathan explained.

Jackson looked at his pale face and couldn’t help but lower his eyes. But then he saw Nathan's hand, which was
as white as if he were ill.
Jackson frowned, feeling that Nathan wasn’t as strong as when he was a child. Finally, he let go.
